The next day, Xie Meilan got up and found that Wang Gang had left. There was a breakfast on the table, ham and chicken leg toast, and a glass of milk, which was her favorite breakfast before.
Xie Meilan knew that breakfast was not prepared for her, so she couldn't help but touch her belly, feeling a little complicated.
After breakfast, Xie Meilan went downstairs and remembered that no one took her to the subway station by bike today, so she had to call a taxi with her mobile phone.
Sitting in the online car-hailing car, Xie Meilan looked at the rapidly passing scenery outside the window, but she was thinking about divorce in her mind.
In fact, Xie Meilan had already planned to divorce. Shen Lei's unwillingness to make progress and just muddle along had made Xie Meilan tired of it.
This time when her mother fell ill, Xie Meilan realized the benefits of money and was more eager to make money. However, with Shen Lei, she could only be trapped in a small rental house and worry about daily necessities.
Xie Meilan was still hesitant at first. After all, her relationship with Shen Lei for more than ten years was not fake.
Unexpectedly, Wang Gang (Shen Lei) filed for divorce first, catching Xie Meilan off guard.
Shen Lei had always been obedient to her, making Xie Meilan mistakenly think that she was the leader of the relationship, but the reality was that she was the one who was disliked.
Now that she has a child with Shen Lei, the divorce has become even more uncertain.
Regarding the sudden arrival of the child, Xie Meilan did not consider whether to give birth to it or not. As for the five hundred thousand that Wang Gang mentioned, Xie Meilan only thought that he was bragging.
Xie Meilan naturally knew what was going on with the Shen family. Wang Gang might be able to get a hundred thousand, but he wouldn't be able to save half a million even if he gave him ten years.
After arriving at the company, Xie Meilan was out of sorts all morning. Her colleagues thought she was trapped in the grief of her mother's death and had not yet come out.
Lu Jie took the opportunity to call Xie Meilan to the office and said straight to the point: "If you feel uncomfortable, you can go home and rest for two days. I will take care of the company's affairs for you. Don't worry!"
"Thank you Mr. Lu, I'm fine now."
Xie Meilan has long noticed that Lu Jie cares about her beyond the level of colleagues, but before, she chose to play dumb because of her mother's affairs.
"Mr. Lu, the four hundred thousand I borrowed will be returned to you as soon as possible. Please allow me some time."
"There's no rush to pay back the money." Lu Jie walked up to Xie Meilan with a smile and said, "Meilan, don't you know what I mean?"
Lu Jie suddenly put his hands on Xie Meilan's shoulders.
Xie Meilan's body shook violently, and she subconsciously avoided Lu Jie and said, "Mr. Lu, don't do this."
Lu Jie took out Xie Meilan's IOU and said, "If you think the IOU is an obstacle to us, I will tear it up now."
Tear it apart!
Lu Jie tore up the IOU of 400,000 yuan in front of Xie Meilan.
"Mr. Lu, you..." Xie Meilan was surprised.
Lu Jie laughed and said: "Meilan, I'm not forcing you, I just don't want our relationship to be mixed with money and copper."
Xie Meilan said: "Mr. Lu, please respect yourself, I am already married."
Lu Jie did not press forward step by step, but said calmly: "Meilan, I can see that your marriage with Shen Lei has long been in name only. Why don't you give me a chance and give yourself a chance."
Xie Meilan struggled mentally. On one side was her rich and affectionate boss, and on the other was her husband who had long since lost love. Xie Meilan was at war with nature in her heart.
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, I still can't accept you." Xie Meilan touched her belly and said, "I am already pregnant with Shen Lei's child."
Lu Jie was stunned and looked at Xie Meilan's belly in surprise.
"Are you pregnant?"
"Well, I just found out yesterday." Xie Meilan said lonely.
Lu Jie immediately noticed that Xie Meilan was not in a good mood.
Generally, when a woman learns that she is pregnant, she will never look lonely on her face.
"You don't seem very happy. Shen Lei doesn't want this child?" Lu Jie looked like a psychiatrist and asked Xie Meilan to sit on the sofa first.
Xie Meilan gritted her teeth and said sadly: "Shen Lei wants a child, but he doesn't want the child's mother."
Lu Jie's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Shen Lei wants to divorce you. I have already told you that there is a problem in your marriage."
Xie Meilan closed her eyes in pain, with tears flashing slightly in the corners of her eyes, acting very weak.
"Mr. Lu, I didn't expect that Shen Lei would file for divorce with me just after my mother left and I was pregnant again."
Lu Jie said distressedly: "Don't be afraid, you still have me."
"No, I can't." Xie Meilan said desperately: "I am a married woman, we are not suitable!"
"How will you know if it's suitable or not if you don't try it?" Lu Jie suddenly held Xie Meilan's hand and confessed:
"Meilan, I like you. I have liked you since the first day at work. Can you give me a chance?"
Xie Meilan said shyly: "I'm not divorced yet, I don't want to be gossiped about."
Lu Jie promised: "I can wait until you get divorced."
Xie Meilan hesitated and said: "It still doesn't work. I have Shen Lei's child, and he wants to use 500,000 to let me give birth to the child."
When Lu Jie heard this, he pretended to be indignant and said: "It's too much. How can children be measured by money? I don't think Shen Lei wants children at all. He just wants to drag you, waste your youth, and use children to tie you up." Stay with you.
I know too many working women who have sacrificed their career plans because of their children. They are also trapped at home by their children. Meilan, do you want to be that kind of housewife?"
Xie Meilan was excited and thought of Shen Lin.
Shen Lin used to have a good job, but because she had two children in a row, she is now stuck at home as a housewife.
Xie Meilan imagined herself as a housewife and shuddered all over.
Lu Jie held Xie Meilan's hand tightly and said, "Meilan, believe me, if parents don't love, it's the children who suffer. I'm someone who has been through this. You really need to think carefully about having children."
Xie Meilan became even more entangled between being a mother and Lu Jie, who had a career and rich wealth.
She knew very well that if she really gave birth to this child, although she would get Wang Gang's 500,000 yuan, Lu Jie would definitely leave her.
?With Lu Jie’s status, how could he possibly accept a woman who is married for the second time and has children?
"Could it be that Shen Lei asked me to give birth to the child just to hold me back? He didn't want to divorce me at all. He just wanted to use the child to trap me and prevent me from pursuing happiness." Xie Meilan couldn't help but think.
Lu Jie had been observing Xie Meilan's emotional changes, and saw that she was already wavering, and the corner of her mouth suddenly curled up.
"She is indeed a woman who is easily manipulated." Lu Jie thought to himself.
"Mr. Lu, I'm very confused right now. I need to think carefully." Xie Meilan said hesitantly.
"Of course, no problem. This is your right." Lu Jie said generously: "Are you still living with Shen Lei?"
?"I will find a house and move out." Xie Meilan said.
"Don't look for a house. I have a large flat near the company. You can live there temporarily," Lu Jie said.
?"Isn't this appropriate?" Xie Meilan said hesitantly.
?"There's nothing inappropriate. You can take a look at the house first!" Lu Jie said enthusiastically.
