Chapter 698: 694. Wang Chao's Divorce (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Wang Chao said, "Although I came out, I don't want to give up my citizenship; that is the only root I have left from these years, so I have never taken United States citizenship, only a green card."

Zhang Ran understood; Wang Chao had actually been thinking about returning the whole time, but because he had a family, he only wanted to keep it as a thought.

"That makes things much easier; I'll have someone help you handle it when the time comes," Zhang Ran said.

Wang Ya listened to their conversation from the side, and even if she didn't fully understand, she could still sense that feeling of homesickness from her father's words.

"Dad, how about this? If you want to go back, don't wait for me to get married. I don't even know when that will be. You can go back after you and Mom divorce. Besides, travel is convenient now; you can come over to see me whenever you want.

It's also very convenient for me to go over and find you," Wang Ya said.

She could feel her father's urgent desire to return, and this feeling had become even more pressing after meeting old friends like Zhang Ran.

Wang Chao was immediately tempted, but he was still worried about his daughter.

"You can't do it alone; I'm not at ease if no one is taking care of you," Wang Chao shook his head and said.

Wang Ya said, "Dad, I've already grown up, and you should have a life of your own."

Wang Ya spoke very sincerely; she understood that her father had lived his whole life for her and for the family, never once living for himself.

Except for this recent period, when Wang Chao truly had a good time playing because of Zhang Ran and the others.

Wang Ya didn't want things to continue like this; her father had already been very tired and had suffered a lot in this life.

As she spoke, Wang Ya looked at Zhang Ran and said, "And don't forget, there is still Zhang Shu. What kind of trouble could I possibly run into? If I do encounter trouble, I can just go to Zhang Shu for help."

Zhang Ran laughed, "That's true. Chao'er, don't worry. If Xiaoya runs into anything here, just let me know."

Wang Chao looked at Zhang Ran, then at Wang Ya, not knowing what to say. He was truly tempted, but he couldn't let go of his daughter.

Liu Lu and Zhang Siyan watched from the side; in fact, they both understood Wang Chao's feelings.

It was just like them now; they wanted to avoid becoming idle people, yet they also wanted to accompany their children. This was, in fact, a dilemma.

"Dad, and if it's possible in the future, I can also apply for a transfer to work at the China Branch, and our company would probably be very happy for me to go," Wang Ya said with a smile.

This was a fact; everyone already knew that Wang Ya was Zhang Ran's niece. Making the best use of everything, if Wang Ya worked at the China Branch, it would actually be a good thing for Pusi.

In some matters, they could use personal connections to get some help.

However, in this matter, Pusi also needed to consider Wang Ya's opinion; they couldn't force her to go, otherwise, it would be counterproductive.

After hearing this, Wang Chao couldn't help but ask, "Are you really going to work in Huaxia?"

"Yes, I might go after studying here for a few years," Wang Ya nodded and said.

This was indeed her career plan; for someone like Wang Ya, career planning was a must.

And because of her connection to Zhang Ran, she clearly knew where her strengths lay; going to work at the China Branch was the best choice for the future.

"If that's the case, then I..." Wang Chao didn't continue, but the temptation could not be hidden.

Zhang Ran didn't say much more on this matter either; it still depended on Wang Chao's own choice.

The group just sat there drinking and chatting, appearing incomparably relaxed and at ease.

The next day, Wang Chao and Liao Wei decided to divorce.

No, it couldn't be called a decision; it was that they had started the paperwork!

After all, this outcome had been destined for several years, and it was a fact they could both accept.

Of course, this fact was from before; now, Liao Wei was somewhat reluctant to divorce because Wang Chao's background had changed at this time.

However, Wang Chao had made up his mind by now.

"I'm going back to the country in a while, and I probably won't come back much in the future. I hope everything goes well for you," Wang Chao said sincerely.

No matter how Liao Wei was, she was his wife of many years, and she had given birth to a daughter for him, so Wang Chao still wished for her to be well.

Liao Wei looked at Wang Chao with a complex expression, sighed, and said, "I hope so. I wish you well, too."

"Yes, I will. From today on, I am going to live for myself for once," Wang Chao's smile was very bright.

Liao Wei was stunned for a moment; it was the first time she had seen such a smile on Wang Chao's face—free, relaxed, and happy.

In the past, Wang Chao always kept things hidden in his heart. Although he wasn't exactly the type who never smiled, his smile never looked this relaxed.

At this very moment, Wang Chao truly had a feeling of being unburdened.

"Perhaps being with me was the real grievance for you, and it held you back," Liao Wei suddenly said.

In the past, whether it was Liao Wei herself or friends who knew her, everyone believed that Liao Wei had been wronged by marrying Wang Chao, that it was a "marrying down" situation.

But at this moment, Liao Wei had a feeling that Wang Chao was the one who had been wronged by marrying her.

"Don't say that; I can't accept that. Besides, we were husband and wife, there's no question of who was wronged; it was all just to get by," Wang Chao said hurriedly.

"By the way, about Mom and Dad, I will visit them often after I go back. As for the news, you should be the one to tell them," Wang Chao said.

Liao Wei's parents were both in the country, and since Wang Chao was preparing to return, he would definitely need to visit them.

Moreover, Liao Wei's parents had truly been nothing but kind to Wang Chao; every time they came over, they were very concerned about him and would call from time to time.

Of course, this was mainly because Liao Wei didn't contact her parents often.

If Liao Wei weren't their daughter, perhaps Wang Chao's relationship with them would be much better than Liao Wei's relationship with them right now.

Liao Wei nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you with that. I will explain it to Mom and Dad when the time comes."

"There's nothing to explain; it's just that we can't go on anymore, and it doesn't feel right," Wang Chao said with a smile.

Liao Wei's expression became even more complex; even at this point, the man in front of her was still considering her.

This reason was clearly to help her save face; if he had told the truth, her parents definitely wouldn't have been able to accept it.

"Thank you," Liao Wei said after a long silence.

"No need to thank me. After all, we were husband and wife; a day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of kindness. If you need my help in the future, don't be a stranger. You are also Xiaoya's mother," Wang Chao said.
