Chapter 472 The Only Daughter 3
Chapter 472 The Only Daughter 3
The timing of Lin Hui's arrival was somewhat unlucky. The original person had just filed for divorce from her husband last night. Zhang Zhiwei naturally did not agree, but resisted silently. However, the original person had already packed up his clothes, taken them to the guest room, and completely separated to show that he was divorced. determination.
Today was not a rest day, and she still had to go to work. The time on her phone showed that it was already [-]:[-] in the morning. Lin Hui stretched out and quickly got out of bed to freshen up.
When I opened the door to the room and walked out, I heard the sound of cooking in the kitchen. It was Zhang Zhiwei who was busy inside.
She did not explore out of curiosity, but went to the bathroom to wash up as usual, then went back to the room to change into clothes for going out, put on simple light makeup, and planned to go out.
"Hui Hui, the meal is ready. Let's go to work after eating. There is still time." Zhang Zhiwei stood at the dining table with a sincere face and said to Lin Hui.
He seemed to have forgotten that his wife had just filed for divorce from him last night, and acted as if nothing had happened.
Lin Hui hesitated for a moment and looked at the mung bean porridge and vegetable pancakes on the table. They were both her favorites. They were light and nutritious. Zhang Zhiwei made them specially for her.
Forget it, just eat. Now that the Lin family's parents are still here, he won't do anything to her.
Lin Hui said nothing, but put down the bag in her hand and sat at the dining table.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwei showed a faint smile on his face, and hurriedly brought out two plates of pickles with porridge from the kitchen and placed them in front of Lin Hui.
Seeing that he was wearing an apron and standing busy all the time, Lin Hui said lightly: "You should sit down and eat too."
"Hey."
Zhang Zhiwei responded with indescribable joy in his tone, took off his apron and sat opposite Lin Hui.
Although they were eating at the same table, neither of them took the initiative to speak. Just like that, they finished their breakfast in silence.
After Lin Hui went out, Zhang Zhiwei's face immediately darkened, and he stared at the dishes on the table.
The Children's Palace has to go to work in the afternoon. Normally Zhang Zhiwei would tidy up the house and sweep at home in the morning. But today, he had no intention of doing this. Instead, he spread out a book in the study room and pondered for a long time. Finally, it was almost time to go to work. , and then hurriedly ate something and went out.
The place where I originally worked was a foreign trade company. The business situation was good and the business volume was large. However, one thing that was not good was that there were more female employees. There were more than [-] people in the company, and more than [-] of them were women.
Wherever there are people, there will be right and wrong, not to mention that when such a group of women are together, disputes are inevitable.
Lin Hui came to the company and sat at her original workstation. After handling some relatively urgent matters, she went to the bathroom.
At the door of the women's bathroom, she heard the gossip about herself coming from inside the door.
"Let me tell you, don't look at the aloof look of Manager Lin in the business department all day long. In fact, she has infertility. It's because she can't give birth to a child that she has such a weird temper." It sounded like Sister Zhou, the company's back-office worker, has been working in the company for seven or eight years and is still a back-office worker.
"No way, Director Lin looks very young. I thought she wasn't married yet!" This voice was unfamiliar to Lin Hui, she must be a newcomer.
"Why is she young? She has been married for five or six years and has never been pregnant. I heard that she had done several in vitro fertilizations but they all failed. She probably won't be able to give birth in this life!" Sister Zhou said.
"So that's it, sister, I really don't know if you don't tell me. Then I have to be careful next time I see Director Lin. Try not to mention the child as much as possible and don't offend her. Thanks to you for reminding me. ." The young girl said to Sister Zhou with a grateful tone.
Lin Hui didn't know how their brains grew, but they actually gossiped about other colleagues in the bathroom where people were coming and going, and the person they were talking about had a higher position than them. Wasn't she afraid that others or the person involved would hear it?
Although there was still an empty cubicle, Lin Hui did not go up. She stood in front of the bathroom mirror and waited quietly for the two people to come out.
After the sound of water flushing twice in succession, the two people came out of the cubicle. They both looked embarrassed when they saw Lin Hui standing with arms folded and a playful look on her face.
"Sister Zhou, are you a doctor at the hospital? Did you diagnose infertility for me?" Lin Hui said calmly to Sister Zhou, the back office clerk.
Sister Zhou, who is always shameless because of her seniority, couldn't help but say a little: "I also heard what others said. It's not something shameful. It's just a casual talk. We are all colleagues, so don't take it so seriously!"
After saying that, she quickly washed her hands and ran away, and the young girl followed closely behind with a blushing face.
In fact, the news that the original person could not have children had long spread within the company and had become an open secret.
Initially, it was because she went to the hospital for a physical check-up and ovulation injection, and asked for leave from the company. Later, the news spread like wildfire. I don’t know when it started, but everyone knew about it.
For the sake of her husband's face, she did not clarify that it was not her fault that she could not get pregnant. She never made the matter public even in front of her relatives, just to take care of Zhang Zhiwei's self-esteem and protect his face.
In the afternoon, when Lin Hui was very busy, she suddenly received a call from Lin's mother.
"Huihui, you and Zhiwei don't forget to go to your sister Xiaoli's son's full-moon banquet tonight. Remember, it's at Ninghai Restaurant at [-]:[-] in the evening. Don't be late!"
Lin Hui came back to her senses and thought that there was indeed such a thing. Lin's mother had told the original person last week, so she agreed again on the phone.
My parents are both from Ning City, and they each have brothers and sisters, so the Lin family has many local relatives and friends, and they have to attend this kind of banquet almost every month. Either this aunt's child is getting married, or that cousin is getting married. My aunt's grandson is one month old.
And often, when the old couple of the Lin family go, they also bring their daughter and son-in-law with them, saying that they are afraid that they will never interact with each other. If the old couple of the Lin family goes away in the future, Lin Hui will not even know her own relatives, which will make it a joke.
On such occasions, eating is the second most important thing. In fact, it is a disguised gathering among relatives, where everyone sits together to show off to each other.
When these people were young, they were competing with each other. The men were competing to see whose wife was virtuous, and the women were showing off their husbands' considerateness. Later, when they had children, the grades and talents of each family's children became a competition ground. Now they are competing against each other. When the children of previous generations have grown up and started families, a new round of competition has begun to see whose children are promising and filial.
In fact, neither the original person nor Lin Hui like this kind of occasion very much, but this matter has been agreed upon a long time ago, and it is difficult to refuse. Otherwise, if she is suddenly absent, Lin's father and Lin's mother will feel that they are in front of relatives. Discourtesy and loss of face will cause complaints from the elders and make them unhappy.
Forget it, isn’t it just a meal? Just go and eat it. There’s nothing to be afraid of. It’s just the child!
