My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

“Ling Zhizhou, do you really not know who she is? She’s Mo Weiyi, the school beauty of our school. In fact, she got married two years ago, and her husband is the president of the Mo Family. You should give up, there’s not a single boy in our school who dares to approach her…”

“So what?” Ling Zhizhou looked at her before turning to leave.

“So you knew all along?” The girl chased after him in surprise. “Why are you still pursuing her then? Are you mad? She’s even two years older than you! She won’t look at you. Don’t be foolish, Ling Zhizhou, Ling Zhizhou?”

**

The Mo Family’s old house.

In the living room of the north villa, Qu Yunyao was apologizing.

“Uncle, I’m sorry. I’m pregnant now, and sometimes my temper is not good. I might have spoken a bit harshly to Xiaohong. It’s only normal for her to grumble about me behind my back. Just now, I lost my temper and slapped her, I didn’t expect to upset Yiyi…”

Mo Yaoxiong immediately spoke, “Yiyi is a bit straightforward with her words. Don’t take it to heart.”

“I understand.” Qu Yunyao bit her lip, “But it is indeed my fault. I shouldn’t have slapped Xiaohong.”

After saying this, she suddenly lowered her head, a quiver in her voice, “But Xiaohong crossed the line. She called my mom a divorcee that nobody wants, said I was pregnant before marriage and lacked self-discipline, even said we were freeloading here. I just couldn’t hold it in…”

“How dare she!” As Mo Yaoxiong listened, he grew angrier. He turned to a servant, “Get Shi Bo over here.”

Xu Jing’s heart lurched. She quickly said, “Brother-in-law, what are you going to do?”

“Nevermind.”

Qu Yunyao dabbed away her tears with a tissue.

Soon, Shi Bo was called over. Mo Yaoxiong immediately ordered, “The one called Xiaohong, tell her to pack up her belongings and leave.”

Shi Bo glanced at the mother-daughter duo and nodded in understanding. “Alright.”

“Brother-in-law.” Xu Jing wanted to talk him out of it, “You don’t really need to go to such lengths…”

“Yes, uncle.” Qu Yunyao put in her own two cents, “If you fire Xiaohong, Yiyi might blame my mother and me for tattling behind her back…”

“Yunyao!” Xu Jing shouted to stop her.

Qu Yunyao bit her lip, looking wronged.

Seeing this, Mo Yaoxiong grew even more furious, “Keeping a servant who speaks ill of others behind their backs is a disaster. It’s none of your business. If Yiyi asks, I’ll say it was my decision.”

Shi Bo nodded and went about his business.

Qu Yunyao was pleased with herself and quickly stood up, “Mom, let’s go look at the house now. Didn’ t you say we have an appointment with the real estate agent to sign the contract?”

Xu Jing stared at Qu Yunyao, feeling a sudden change in her daughter’s demeanor. Just now, she was scolding Xiaohong for wanting to move out, and now…

Mo Yaoxiong asked, “Are you really determined to move out and live on your own?”

Xu Jing responded, “Brother-in-law, these past six months, I am sincerely grateful for your and father’s gracious care. Now that I have some savings, and we’ve found a place we like, I think it’s best if we move out.”

“Mom.” Qu Yunyao chimed in dutifully, “I’ve also saved up a little. I can help you cover part of the rent.”

Seeing their minds were made up, Mo Yaoxiong said, “In that case, I’ll have the butler arrange a driver to send you there later…”

“Uncle.” Qu Yunyao interrupted him, “Mom and I have only just returned for half a year and we’re not familiar with the real estate market in Nancheng. I’m pregnant and my mom is a weak woman. What if the agent cheats us?”

She stated her intention, “So Uncle, can you accompany us?”

Hearing these words, Xu Jing changed color, “Yunyao, what are you talking about? Your uncle is a busy man…”

“No problem, I can accompany you.” Mo Yaoxiong didn’t see what was wrong. They were all alone and Qu Yunyao had asked. It wouldn’t be too much trouble for him to lend a hand.

The real estate market in Nancheng was almost in a frenzied state with exorbitant housing prices. Incidents of agents scamming people were frequently reported in the news.

Sure enough, upon arriving at the estate agency, the young agent said right away, “Ms. Xu, many people are interested in this house. A few days ago, I asked if you wanted to reserve it. You said you’d think about it, but now, the price has gone up.”

“How much did it go up?” Xu Jing asked.

“Not much. It’s increased by two hundred.”

“That much?”

Two hundred was not a particularly large sum, but when factored into the rent, it came out to be quite significant. It meant paying an extra two hundred every month. That would turn into over two thousand in a year. Furthermore, this money would have to be paid upon signing the contract and the agent’s fee had to be considered…

Qu Yunyao also said, “You raise the price for no reason. Isn’t this cheating?”

The young man laughed, “Little lady, you’re wrong. The market for this district is very competitive. Prices change daily. It’s the same if you ask any other agency.”

“But my mom had an agreement with you. Isn’t this a breach of promise?”

“Your mom didn’t make a deposit or sign a contract. Without a fixed price, there’s natural fluctuation according to the market. Isn’t it normal? Can you blame me?”

“You’re scamming us…”

“Let’s go.” Mo Yaoxiong’s brow furrowed, “We’ll take a look at the house first.”

Qu Yunyao closed her mouth, a displeased look on her face.

However, once they went to see the house.

Mo Yaoxiong’s eyebrows immediately furrowed even more, “What’s wrong with the ceiling in this house?”

The young man laughed, “This can be fixed.”

“This bathroom is too dirty, right?”

“Once the house is booked, we will get it cleaned.”

“This cupboard is too old, isn’t it? And there aren’t enough stools.”

“We can provide those for you too.”

“These windows don’t seem strong, and this is the second floor. What if someone jumps in from outside…”

After some back and forth, the young man’s face finally darkened, “If you want to install burglar-proof windows, it will cost extra.”

In the end, Mo Yaoxiong said, “This house is not suitable, it’s not livable.”

Qu Yunyao also said, “Mom, were you fooled by someone? How can such a run­down house cost eight thousand yuan?”

Xu Jing: “…”

The agency’s young man: “…”

Of course, they returned empty-handed.

In the car, Mo Yaoxiong said, “If you really want to move out, you can. But you need to take your time in choosing a house, don’t rush. Today’s house is simply uninhabitable and it’s unsafe for the two of you to live there. I can’t relax my mind, what if something happens, how will I explain it to mom?”

Listening to this, Qu Yunyao nodded repeatedly, “Mom, let’s take Uncle Mo’s advice and take our time, okay?”

At this point, Xu Jing could only nod as well, “Alright then.”

This careful search ended up taking over a week.

As Xu Jing had to teach at school, she didn’t have much time to go house hunting. Plus, Mo Yaoxiong was busy, and Qu Yunyao was pregnant and couldn’ t overwork herself.

During this time, Mo Weiyi was busy reviewing his lessons every day and didn’t have time to get involved with the old house.

Even more so with Xiao Yebai, who was busy preparing for the company’s anniversary.

One morning, after the English class was over.

Su Wanwan looked at the time, “Lunch, or the reading room?”

Mo Weiyi packed up his things, “Tonight I have to attend the company’s anniversary, so I need to try on the formal dress.”

“Oh.”

“Aren’t you attending with Huo’sboss?” Mo Weiyi asked, “Have you tried the dress?”

“He asked me to wait for his call.”

“Oh.” Mo Weiyi had just finished packing his bag when Su Wanwan’s phone rang.

She heard Su Wanwan say, “Now? Okay.”

Having hung up, Mo Weiyi immediately said, “Great, I won’t wait for uncle Liu now, I’ll go with you guys.”

“Ok.”

The two young girls left the classroom, talking and laughing.

One was cute and sweet, the other was elegant and pleasant – one was the school flower, the other, the top girl in their department. Even in their thick winter clothes, they quickly attracted the attention of the students.

Already, someone tried to strike a conversation.

“Wait… elder sister, wait a moment!”

Su Wanwan turned around and saw Ling Zhizhou running over. There were two male students standing behind him, likely his classmates.

When he arrived, he handed over a book, “Elder sister, this is a book I just borrowed from the library, may it be of use to you?”

It was a book called “New Oriental University English Secret.”

“I heard this set of courses is really hard to borrow, so I asked the librarian to keep an eye out for it. I finally managed to get it and rushed to deliver it to you.” Mo Weiyi was overjoyed, “Of course it’s useful, thank you so much! I’ve been trying to borrow it for a long time.”

Ling Zhizhou smiled, “Since it’s useful, then go ahead and use it. I’m going to have lunch with my classmates.”

“Okay, goodbye.”

When Ling Zhizhou left, Su Wanwan said, hinting at something, “This junior, seems to be particularly good to you.”
