Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Time flies; a whole week has passed in the blink of an eye.

This Saturday, Wang Xiaohua caught a flight early in the morning.

He arrived in Guangzhou to find Li Jianjia.

The two met up, brought their respective household registers, went to a photo studio to take their marriage registration photos first, and then went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate.

The two arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

They discovered a long queue at the marriage registration office.

Back then, there were still many people getting married; at the various Civil Affairs Bureaus in Guangzhou to obtain marriage certificates, advance appointments were still required, and almost every day the queues were packed full.

Unlike now, the marriage registration offices at the Civil Affairs Bureau are deserted.

Instead, it is the counters handling divorce procedures that have long lines of people.

One can only say that times are constantly changing.

Things that used to be taken for granted may in the future become acts that go against the great tide of society.

Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia stood in line.

They saw the young men and women in the queue, all with beaming smiles on their faces.

Some had even dressed up specially, and a few had hired photographers to follow and shoot, recording this beautiful day worth remembering — their wedding day.

This Civil Affairs Bureau was also very humane; it had specially set up a photo backdrop wall for newlywed couples to take commemorative photos.

Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia went in plain clothes, which instead made them look a bit out of place.

After queuing for most of half an hour, it was finally their turn.

The staff first verified their ID cards and household registers, then produced a sheet of paper and had the two of them read the contents carefully first.

After they finished reading, they were asked to recite the marriage vows on it together.

Once finished reading, they affixed their seals on the marriage certificate.

With this simple process, the matter was settled.

Holding the marriage certificate and walking out of the registration office, Li Jianjia was very happy.

Her once-wavering heart finally settled down.

"Let's take a photo here!"

Li Jianjia randomly grabbed someone and asked him to help take a picture.

Then she and Wang Xiaohua stood together in front of the marriage registration office's backdrop wall, each holding a marriage certificate, smiling at the camera.

After the photos were taken, the two of them left.

They found a restaurant nearby and had a good meal together.

Count it as celebrating today's joyous occasion.

While eating, Li Jianjia also posted a Moments update, showing off her and Wang Xiaohua's marriage certificate and their photo together.

She rarely posted on Moments before.

The moment this Moments post went out, it drew many likes and comments from her WeChat friends.

Surprised, everyone sent their blessings.

One person excepted.

That was Li Jianjia's mother.

Li Jianjia's mother had already returned abroad by this time.

She would come to find Li Jianjia during National Day; Li Jianjia refused point-blank to go with her, so she had no choice but to leave alone.

When she saw that her daughter and Wang Xiaohua had obtained their certificate, she was furious.

She felt that as long as Li Jianjia wasn't married, there was still a chance to persuade her to go abroad.

She never expected that Li Jianjia would take the household register and actually run off to get a certificate with Wang Xiaohua.

To tell the truth, she had never thought her daughter would get a marriage certificate with Wang Xiaohua at this time.

She's only a junior in college, not even graduated yet.

Going by her daughter's usual way of doing things, it was impossible for her to do something this rash.

As a result, Zhao Xintong completely miscalculated.

At this moment she realized that she had long since lost control over her daughter.

So she was very angry.

She called Li Jianjia directly.

Li Jianjia originally didn't want to answer; when her mother chose to flee with the money instead of helping her father fight for leniency, she had lost all favorable impression of her mother.

But in the end, she still picked up.

She really wanted to know what kind of reaction her mother would have after seeing her Moments post.

That was more like a form of retaliation.

Retaliation against her mother's heartlessness, lack of righteousness, cold-bloodedness, and selfishness.

"Li Jianjia, you're marrying Wang Xiaohua — such a big thing, how could you not communicate with me? Do you still treat me as your birth mother!"

The moment Li Jianjia answered the call, she heard Zhao Xintong unleash a torrent of abuse.

"Mom, when you abandoned Dad back then and ran abroad with the money, such a big thing — didn't you also not communicate with me?"

Li Jianjia calmly replied with this one sentence.

Zhao Xintong was angered to death by Li Jianjia.

"How can you speak to me with this attitude! Marriage is a big thing, you don't listen to your parents, you'll suffer for it in the future!"

Zhao Xintong's mindset had already collapsed.

She lived alone abroad, the language didn't connect, and many negative emotions were suppressed in her inner heart.

She originally planned to bring her daughter over to live with her, at least it could relieve her boredom and give her a spiritual support.

As a result, Li Jianjia actually completely didn't listen to her, this made her feel that the daughter she had raised with bitter toil was simply a white-eyed wolf she had raised!

Li Jianjia calmly replied:

"I didn't not listen, I just listened to my dad, he agreed to me and Xiao Hua's marriage."

"So, you only listen to your dad, not to me your mom, right!"

"At least, when I have trouble, my dad absolutely won't run off with the money and leave me to die without helping."

As soon as Li Jianjia said this, Zhao Xintong was so angry her breast hurt.

"You... you, how can you treat me like this, I'm your mom!"

Zhao Xintong was angered to tears, "I treated you so well before, have you forgotten it all!"

"That's because my dad earned enough money, raised your temper, gave you enough space for stubbornness, so you were naturally tolerant enough towards me."

Li Jianjia actually saw through the essence at a glance.

Her words left Zhao Xintong speechless.

Li Jianjia said again:

"Mom, why don't you come back, let's treat past things as if they never happened, money is gone we can slowly earn it back, but if home is gone, it's very hard to have it again, besides, the money you took away isn't that much..."

"Enough! Don't say anymore!"

Zhao Xintong angrily roared:

"I'm your mom, I don't need you pointing fingers at me! I'm doing great over here! You not coming over, that's your loss!"

After saying this, Zhao Xintong fiercely hung up the phone.

At this time she was in the United States, it was exactly two or three in the morning.

Also don't know if it's because she still hasn't adjusted to the time difference, or because she originally had insomnia and couldn't sleep.

This late, she still had no sleepiness at all.

Facing the empty rental house, a sense of bewilderment involuntarily rose up in her inner heart.

She couldn't help but ask herself: was this choice of hers really correct?

But, some things, are like water splashed out, very hard to take back.

She actually wanted to go back a bit, but, can she really go back?

The money has already been made to come out.

Making this money come out was easy.

But wanting to make it go back in, that's not so easy.

And at this time, the other side.

After Li Jianjia hung up the phone, she couldn't help but cry out.

Originally still happy drinking, because of her mother's one phone call, her mood became thoroughly rotten.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Wang Xiaohua took the initiative to hug her, comfort her, give her a sense of safety.

He knew what Li Jianjia lacked most right now was a sense of safety.

The huge family change made her like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow.

Any matter could stimulate her nerves.
