Chapter 170 She is still wearing a man’s clothes (page 12)
"Master's wife, have you finished cleaning up?"
Shi Ning quickly adjusted his expression, thought of his words, and turned around with a smile.
Tan Feng took this opportunity to pick up a lot of things and quickly ran away.
Shi Ning scolded him in his heart as a thief, but still smiled on his face, "Master, please sit down for a while, and I will cook you something to eat."
The second elder didn't like her.
Mrs. Li frowned and pointed to the sofa for her to sit down, "We ate at the airport, so you don't need to worry about food."
Shi Ning had no choice but to hold her arm and sit down in front of the sofa.
"What's going on with you and the young minister?"
The two elders sat down, and Elder Li asked with a sullen face.
Shi Ning still wanted to make a last ditch effort, "Nothing. I told you before, he is very busy."
"What are you busy with? Isn't the purpose of making money to live a good life? You can't live anymore. No matter how much money you make, why don't you die for yourself?"
Old Li patted the armrest of the sofa angrily, took out his cell phone and started to dial, "I'll call him and ask him to come back."
"Don't!"
Shi Ning rushed over and hugged Mr. Li's arm.
Her almost subconscious reaction made the second elder more certain that she and Mu Shaochen had a problem.
"Ning Ning, how did you promise me when we were at the airport?"
Mrs. Li raised her hand to cover her chest.
Shi Ning bit his lip.
After a long while, she stood up and took out the divorce certificate she had just received in the morning from her bag. She said in a hard voice, "Young Master and I divorced, not long before I went to pick you up."
Even though they had this suspicion for a long time, Mrs. Li and Mr. Li couldn't help but change their expressions.
Mr. Li was so angry that he slammed the table, "Why should Mu Shaochen divorce you?"
With that said, he got up from the sofa and pulled Shi Ning, "Ning Ning, let's go, take me to find Mu Shaochen. I want to ask him face to face why he divorced you."
When Mu Shaochen fell ill, Shi Ning was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night.
They didn't know why Shi Ning went to northern Myanmar, but they guessed it was related to Mu Shaochen's illness.
Now that he is well, he wants to divorce Shi Ning.
How could he accept this?
"Master, don't go. Can you just leave this matter alone?"
Shi Ning felt uncomfortable, and he almost cried when he dragged him to Mu Shaochen to argue.
"Lao Li, don't be impatient."
Mrs. Li called out to Mr. Li softly.
Then he looked at Shi Ning and asked sternly, "Ning Ning, tell my wife honestly. Did the young minister believe the nonsense of those people on the Internet when he divorced you?"
Shi Ning shook his head and explained for Mu Shaochen, "No. He doesn't remember me."
She clenched her fingers and tried hard to look calm, but she didn't know how ugly her face was. "After detoxification, he forgot about me."
Her voice was very soft, but what she said shocked the two elders.
"By the way, your master and I brought you red envelopes and New Year gifts prepared for you this time."
Mrs. Li said, stood up and went back to the room to get something.
Shi Ning stood up and said, "Master, I'm so old, how can I still ask for your red envelope?"
"The elders are kind enough to give it to you. Just take it."
Mr. Li quickly grabbed her and asked her to sit back, and said angrily, "When that boy Yu Cheng received the red envelope, he didn't even say he was an adult."
Shi Ning could only sit obediently, thinking of repaying his master and his wife elsewhere in the future.
Not long after, the wife had two red envelopes and a red cardboard box in her hand.
She first handed two red envelopes to Shi Ning and said with a smile, "Your master and I both know that you are not short of money. But what you have is your own. This is our wish. Don't be too little."
"how come?"
Shi Ning took the red envelope respectfully and said, "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master."
Mrs. Li was most satisfied with her way of not letting people's good intentions fail and not disappointing them.
Seeing Shi Ning put away the red envelope, she opened the red brocade box, revealing the exquisite tapestry inside.
"This is the marriage certificate I embroidered for you with my own hands. It can be regarded as a supplementary wedding gift for you."
Mrs. Li sighed, took out the tapestry from the brocade box with shaking hands, and slowly unfolded it.
"This is what your wife learned after begging for help for a long time. If you like it, keep it. If you think it is no longer needed or you feel uncomfortable, we will take it away."
Mr. Li spoke next to him, not necessarily asking Shi Ning to accept the things.
Shi Ning took the thing and caressed the font outlined with gold lines with his fingers.
The red and gold color scheme looks very beautiful.
But Mu Shaochen's name on it pierced her eyes like a fine needle.
On the day of the divorce, she received a marriage letter blessing them.
This gift is extremely valuable, but it is so inappropriate.
"I'll take this first and give you another gift later."
Seeing Shi Ning's pale face and caressing Mu Shaochen's name over and over again, Madam Li regretted taking out the marriage document and reached out to get it back.
Shi Ning tightened her grip, curved her lips and thanked her sincerely, "Master, this is very beautiful, I like it very much. Can you give it to me?"
There is no better gift for her.
She liked Mu Shaochen and once got married to him.
This belated marriage letter came at the right time.
Mrs. Li carefully examined her expression and saw that she did not show any reluctance, so she took back her hand and sighed, "Idiot."
-
After Mu Shaochen finished the meeting, he sent away Avril who was pestering her, and then asked someone to call Tan Feng over.
Not long after, Qin Feng knocked on the door and came in.
He put down the half-read contract in his hand and looked up at Tan Feng, "Has my stuff been returned to Mu's house?"
"Professor Li and the others came to Jiangcheng and are now living in Songheyuan. The young lady didn't want the second elder to know that she had divorced you, so she only asked me to take the things you commonly use. We will talk about the rest after the second elder leaves."
Tan Feng lowered his head and reported the situation respectfully.
Mu Shaochen nodded to show that he understood, and did not continue the topic. Instead, he changed his question and asked about another matter, "How is Wu Kai's investigation going?"
"That matter has come to an end, and I was about to report it to you."
Tan Feng slapped his forehead and said, "Wu Kai's mother has never been married. She has been living in Bailin Village in Qu County for more than 20 years, which is the same village where your father taught when he was young."
Mu Shaochen's hand holding the pen paused, and he raised his head and stared at Tan Feng.
Tan Feng was shocked by the sharp look in his eyes, swallowed his saliva, lowered his head and continued respectfully, "The year you were born, Wu Kai's mother suddenly left Bailin Village. Even her family didn't know where she went. After that, she always had a child by her side, namely Wu Kai. But I never heard that the woman was married."
Mu Shaochen remained silent for a long time until Tan Feng finished speaking.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thoughtfully.
After a long while, he quietly ordered, "Find a way to get Wu Kai's DNA data and don't let him notice."
