Gu Qingchen was her best solution!
She knew that this man wouldn’t let her off easily either!
Four years of marriage, and now they go their separate ways.
She couldn’t possibly feel no pain, but she wouldn’t let anyone see this pain!
Since it’s a divorce, might as well part amiably.
In the evening, Bei Ran returned home, and both children were asleep.
The next morning, Xiaoyu noticed sharply: "Mom, why is your ear swollen?"
"Let me see..." Bei Ran hurried to the mirror, and indeed, it was swollen from a bite by Gu Qingchen, this man was really harsh...
Bei Ran laughed: "Such ears are said to be blessed, you know? Have you watched ’Journey to the West’? The Buddha has large, round, and plump earlobes. Fortunetellers say that this is a sign of great fortune."
Dayu leaned in and said seriously: "I determine that these are bite marks, and they are human bite marks, plus they are from a man, and further more..."
"And further are Gu Qingchen’s bite marks!" Xiaoyu immediately added.
"What makes you say that?" Bei Ran looked at her two treasures, one on each side.
Dayu stared at her, "True or not, we can verify. Comrade Bei Ran, this is solid proof, you can’t deny it."
Xiaoyu chuckled: "I saw that there are cakes made by grandma in the fridge, proving that mom met grandma last night. Mom went to see grandma, it must be related to brother Zong Zheng, and early this morning, I saw brother Zong Zheng updated his Weibo, stating that he can start an internship at the hospital, and it’s even with Professor Gu. Mom, were you with Professor Gu all last night, did you..." reignite old feelings?
Bei Ran looked at the twins: "One uses physical evidence against me, and the other uses logical reasoning to trap me. Are you rebelling? Go to school now!"
Dayu dragged his sister to school, and Xiaoyu said before leaving, "Mom, I still hope for your love life to blossom!"
Since the mother-in-law needs to be hospitalized for treatment, Bei Ran made some soup and brought meals to Zong Zheng’s mother-in-law.
"Grandma, here, drink some soup first!" She poured the soup from the thermos, "Don’t worry, the doctors here are very professional, they are all very good."
"Thank you, Bei Ran..." Zong Zheng’s mother-in-law was extremely touched, "I’m happiest that Zong Zheng can intern at this hospital, it’s a big hospital, and he’s even learning medicine under Professor Gu..."
"It’s because Zong Zheng himself is capable that Professor Gu accepted him. You don’t have to be so polite, grandma. Back in the toughest times, it was you who helped me." Bei Ran brought the soup over, "Come on, drink a bit!"
Zong Zheng’s mother-in-law held Bei Ran’s hand: "Now, the kids are a bit older, and you’re not struggling as much, you should find someone good to live with. Don’t be like grandma, alone in old age..."
"Grandma, you won’t be alone, you have Zong Zheng, and you have me, Dayu, and Xiaoyu..." Bei Ran softly comforted.
Zong Zheng’s mother-in-law smiled: "Of course, you all are my family, I meant, the other half of life, after my son and daughter-in-law passed away, I felt so disappointed. People pursued me, but I didn’t want to remarry, just wanted to care for Zong Zheng. Bei Ran, you’re still young, just in your twenties, life is long, the kids will soon grow up, they’ll have their own lives and social circles, you need to live well."
"I will, grandma, here, drink the soup!" Bei Ran initially wanted to feed her.
But Zong Zheng’s mother-in-law took it herself: "I’m fine, I can do it myself. You have to go to work, go on, I’ll be fine."
"Alright, grandma, I’ll bring dinner after work!" Bei Ran smiled at her as she spoke.
As Bei Ran was about to leave, she saw Gu Qingchen inspecting the wards with some medical interns.
Zong Zheng saw her and secretly greeted her.
Bei Ran smiled, seeing Zong Zheng in a white coat fulfilling his dream, she felt very happy too.
Everyone, at different stages, has their own desires.
Like as a child, hoping for a new set of clothes, a new backpack, a new skirt.
As one grows up, one hopes for a journey where one can go wherever one wants, not bound by family.
Once mature, with children, with a family, hoping the children are healthy and happy, hoping family members are safe and content.
