Guide to Divorce in Wealthy Families

Chapter34

"I'll stay in Anzhou for the Spring Festival this year."

Xiao Bingyang's words broke her fantasy. She was slightly disappointed and let out an "Oh".

"How do you want to spend it?" Xiao Bingyang opened his phone calendar. "I should be free on New Year's Eve and the first day of the lunar new year. We can have meals."

"On New Year's Eve, I'll pick up my mom and go to a restaurant for the New Year's Eve dinner. On the first day of the lunar new year, I'll go to my grandma's house. In the evening, I'll go back to your old house to pay a New Year's visit. My grandpa's house should be on the third day of the lunar new year." Qin Chun had a headache just thinking about going to her grandpa's house to pay a New Year's visit. But if she didn't go, Yu Shuyuan would definitely not agree.

"Then I'll see if I can squeeze out time to accompany you." Xiao Bingyang swiped on the screen twice.

"It doesn't matter. If you're busy, you don't have to go," Qin Chun didn't care. "Anyway, you haven't appeared in the past few years."

"Okay. Then I won't change my schedule. If you need me to accompany you, let me know in advance." Xiao Bingyang closed the calendar and looked at Qin Chun leisurely. See how long you can hold out.

But this time he miscalculated. Until it was time to sleep, Qin Chun didn't regret as he had expected. After finishing her work, she quickly washed up and went to bed. On the contrary, he had originally wanted to be intimate with Qin Chun again after tasting the sweetness. But he had to give up.

The Spring Festival soon arrived. On New Year's Eve, the Xiao family booked four tables at Lichang Hotel. Yu Shuyuan also participated and had a reunion dinner. That night, the whole family stayed at the hotel. Qin Chun spent the last night of this year with Yu Shuyuan.

On the first day of the lunar new year, Qin Chun and Yu Shuyuan went to grandma's house to pay a New Year's visit. When Xiao Bingyang woke up late and came out of the room, his wife and mother-in-law had already disappeared. On asking, he was actually left behind.

Xiao Qing educated him. Saying that Qin Chun was polite. She paid a New Year's visit to the elders of the Xiao family every year. And the New Year's gifts were all very generous. While he was outside every year and didn't know these etiquettes.

Xiao Bingyang's face darkened. He remained silent with a straight face. Finally, he coldly replied. "Then why don't Dad come back and take charge? I'll step down and stay at home to accompany my wife."

Xiao Qing was speechless.

Zhao Xintong quickly smoothed things over. "Men don't care about these formalities. In the past, I was the one who handled the New Year's goods. Weren't you just a person? Sometimes when you're busy, you're also nowhere to be found. Mu Yun has improved this year. He's at home for the Spring Festival."

"Okay, I won't care anymore," Xiao Qing waved his hand. "Wait. Someday, if Xiaoyu can't stand it anymore and breaks up with you."

Xiao Bingyang's right eyelid twitched. Annoyed, he said. "Dad, how can you curse your own son like this?"

Zhao Xintong spat twice behind her. "Nonsense. Mu Yun. Let me tell you first. I like Xiaoyu very much as a daughter-in-law. If you mess it up and lose her, I won't let you go."

Xiao Bingyang smiled reservedly. "Mom, don't worry."

Zhao Xintong immediately sensed something. Happily, she asked. "Why? Is there any progress between you two? Tell me."

Xiao Mulin beside was amused. "Mom, how can the progress of a young couple be put on the table and talked about?"

Xiao Bingyang gave his sister an approving look.

"Oh, don't say it if you don't want to. In short, you all have to get better and better," Zhao Xintong sighed. "Mulin. You and Mingpeng don't be so stubborn anymore. If there's really no way, just adopt one."

Xiao Mulin had problems with her fallopian tubes and couldn't have children. In the past few years, she had been seeking medical treatment but with little effect. This year, the couple started to try in vitro fertilization. Xiao Mulin suffered the pain of egg retrieval several times. But in the end, it still failed.

The smile on Xiao Mulin's mouth faded. "Mom, don't worry about our affairs."

"Why don't you worry about it?" Xiao Qing suddenly got angry. "You are our daughter. Can this be ignored just because we say so? We feel distressed seeing you like this. Not having a biological child is not a big deal. If an adopted child is well-raised, it's fine. We haven't wronged Mingpeng. You don't have to be so wronged."

"Dad is right this time," Xiao Bingyang said seriously. "Sister, think about it carefully."

"Yes. I see that Mingpeng doesn't seem to care much about this matter. He's quite reasonable. He probably won't be so stubborn." Zhao Xintong persuaded. "If you can't say it, we can help you talk to him."

Xiao Mulin was silent for a long time. Then she smiled brightly. "Okay, I know. I'll communicate with him. It's the Chinese New Year. Don't mention these disappointing things. Let's talk about it after the New Year."

This small didn't affect Xiao Bingyang's mood too much. Back at the old house, relatives and friends who came to pay a New Year's visit came in an endless stream. He was rarely at home this year. Relatives and friends seized this opportunity to get close. Even if he had a cold face, he couldn't stop them.

Before dinner, Qin Chun finally came back. Xiao Bingyang was still in a bad mood. With a straight face, he sat on the sofa and drank water on his own. Waiting for Qin Chun to come and apologize.

Qin Chun didn't notice. She gave New Year's gifts to all the elders in the family. Only then did she go into the kitchen and pour a glass of water. These few days during the Chinese New Year had kept her very busy.

Xiao Mulin also followed in. Suppressing a smile, she asked. "Xiaoyu. Did you offend Mu Yun? He has been in a bad mood all day today. And he even asked me to send a message to ask when you would come back."

Qin Chun was a bit puzzled. "No. I haven't bothered him at all these days before the New Year. This morning, my mom originally wanted to ask if he was free to go with us. I even helped him refuse. What else does he want?"

"Could it be that he's unhappy because you didn't bother him?" Xiao Mulin thought for a moment. Suddenly, she had an inspiration. Excitedly, she walked out. "I think so. Maybe I'll help you test it."

Qin Chun grabbed her arm. "Don't. How could it be—"

Xiao Mulin let out a cry of pain. The fruit plate in her hand fell to the ground. Making a loud "clang". Glass shards scattered all over the floor.

People in the kitchen all gathered around. Hurriedly cleaning up the residues. Aunt and Zhao Xintong trotted in from the dining room. One after another, they asked. "What's wrong, Mulin?"

"Be careful. Don't hurt yourself!"

Qin Chun's heart tightened. Subconsciously, she pulled her sleeve to check her arm.

Xiao Mulin quickly pulled her hand back from hers. Almost imperceptibly, she shook her head. Her eyes showed a pleading look. And she replied loudly. "It's nothing. I dropped the plate because my hand slipped."
