Chapter 2151: Chapter 2152: The Original Spouse Who Left with Nothing 71
As Zhang Yu walked out of the subway, she passed by a barbecued pork shop and thought about buying some to take home for a change of taste.
Today she learned some good news: Lin Yu was already anxious. Knowing perfectly well the girl didn’t like him, he still sought her out. If that’s not desperation, what is?
Just after paying, Zhang Yu was about to go home when her phone rang. Seeing the familiar number, although it was a company number, she knew that unless something unexpected happened, it would be a call from Lin Yu.
She actually didn’t want to answer, but then thought, it’s just a phone call, nothing she can’t answer. Otherwise, people might say she’s feeling guilty.
As Lin Yu listened to the busy tone on the phone, his heart sank. He had just called Zhang Yu with his mobile, but it had been busy the entire time. He wondered if he had been blocked.
Indeed, he was a failure now, no one wanted to associate with him out of fear he’d cling onto them.
Finally, using the company phone to call Zhang Yu, this time the call went through, and he waited for her to answer.
When the call connected, Lin Yu’s first words were: "Zhang Yu, did you block me?"
"Huh?" Zhang Yu was speechless: "How did I block you?"
Though she’d thought about doing it, seeing how pitiful he was now, she could pity him: "Do I need to block you?"
Zhang Yu: "If I block you, how would I know how pitiful you look now? By the way, congratulations on your divorce; you can find someone new. This time you must open your eyes and find a good match, strive to change your fate."
Zhang Yu: "You definitely shouldn’t find a wife like Han Xue again, or you’ll get tricked out of money once more."
Zhang Yu pursed her lips: "You say I’ve been with you for so many years, given so much, and what have I received? Yet you claim I somehow cheated you out of money. Han Xue married you for how long and already took away so much."
Zhang Yu: "It’s really true that you can’t walk by the river without getting your shoes wet. You need to learn the lesson."
Listening to her words, Lin Yu really wanted to hang up and walk away—too infuriating, truly maddening, enough to kill him with rage.
Forget it, can’t get angry, absolutely can’t get angry, or he’d fall into her trap: "I know, honey, I know I was wrong."
What? Calling her honey, Zhang Yu pursed her lips: "No need, don’t call me honey, we divorced long ago, we’re not related anymore."
Zhang Yu: "You remarried at lightning speed and then got divorced just as quickly, you’re really something."
Zhang Yu: "You might as well call Han Xue, she just divorced you. You can still call her honey, try to maintain a good relationship with her so she can lend you a hand."
Zhang Yu recalled the words Lin Yu once said in front of her in their past lives: "After all, the Han family is big and wealthy, incomparable to my small household."
Listening to Zhang Yu’s words, Lin Yu felt really unpleasant in his heart. He took a deep breath: "Honey, I really regret it, I really shouldn’t have impulsively chosen Han Xue. I didn’t expect her to be so excessive."
Clearly people said Han Xue was an infatuated lover, but during their relationship and divorce, she was far from infatuated. Damn, who misled him?
Lin Yu thought about admitting his mistake to have the chance to remarry: "I know you’ve cared for Xiao Xuan very well, but Little Yu, we should give our son a loving environment, it will be better for him."
Trying to talk about feelings with Zhang Yu, Lin Yu knew it was impossible. She would absolutely kick him out in a second, better to use Lin Zixuan as the reason to act.
Listening to him confidently using their son as a topic: "Lin Yu, what you’re saying now is nonsense. You mentioned before about giving our son a loving environment, giving him a happier life than I had during my childhood."
Zhang Yu: "But you’ve never done it, you had time to spend with a new lover but not with us. Did you think about creating a loving environment for the child back then?"
Zhang Yu: "Lin Yu, the child has long known about our bad relationship, also, how long have you not seen Xiao Xuan? Have you discussed these topics with him?"
Zhang Yu: "You haven’t discussed these topics with your son, how do you know your son’s thoughts?"
Zhang Yu: "Lin Yu, you wouldn’t forget the words you said back then, would you? You said you have your own life and thoughts and can’t live suppressed because of your son."
Zhang Yu unceremoniously brought up the words Lin Yu once mentioned in front of Lin Zixuan, letting him reminisce for a moment.
Zhang Yu: "Before divorcing you, I discussed with our son why we were getting divorced, mentioned some things about our divorce, generally analyzed everything and let him choose for himself."
Lin Yu knew Zhang Yu had a good relationship with their son, but never expected she would discuss these things with him, especially when he thought of her mentioning his emotional life to Lin Zixuan, unable to help but feel annoyed: "How could you let our son know about my private matters?"
Lin Yu: "Aren’t you sowing discord between father and son?"
Listening to his exasperated voice, Zhang Yu sneered, easily imagining how furious he was on the other end of the call, definitely amusing.
Hearing Zhang Yu’s sneer put Lin Yu’s mind back in focus.
Zhang Yu: "Do I need to sow discord between you and your son? Do you think there’s much affection left between you two?"
Zhang Yu: "Since the divorce, how many times have you seen your son? Don’t say I’m living in Harbor City now, back then I lived in City S for a few months. When my son came to Harbor City for summer vacation, I also told you I was going to study in Harbor City, and you asked about what to do with him."
Zhang Yu: "You knew clearly the child would follow me to Harbor City, you didn’t consider seeing him. At that time, you were riding high, busy marrying Han Xue, busy visiting so-called big shots, busy elevating your status."
Lin Yu couldn’t help but be sheepish, at that time he was busy with everything: "I, I wasn’t doing it for him, I only have Xiao Xuan as a son."
Thinking about it, Lin Yu instantly recovered his confidence—indeed, he only had one son, Lin Zixuan; if he lived well, could Lin Zixuan live poorly?
Speechless, Zhang Yu was completely beyond speech, still claiming it was for Lin Zixuan: "You can tell Xiao Xuan that, don’t tell me."
Zhang Yu didn’t want to continue talking to him, she couldn’t wake someone pretending to sleep, so why waste the time: "If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up."
Lin Yu: "What? Wait, add me back, I need to see our son. Right, I’ll come to see him over the weekend."
He already knew Zhang Yu’s attitude. Without external persuasion, the possibility of remarriage was practically nonexistent.
Lin Yu felt he had to mobilize relations to make it work, otherwise remarriage was absolutely impossible.
Zhang Yu: "I have a trip planned to Dubai this weekend, no time."
