Bound To The Divorce System - Chapter 24

Ch. 24 Crisis

    Bai Ertang felt a chill in her heart, and she regained consciousness and sobered up in a blink of an eye.

    At this time, she was lying in the ward with a huge headache, and a nurse was guarding her. Seeing her awake, she routinely asked her a few questions.

    “Doctor, is there any problem with my head?”

    “It’s fine. It’s just a concussion, just be careful and take a rest.”

    Bai Ertang breathed a sigh of relief. I’m so sorry Tang Yu.

    When Bai Ertang saw Miss Nurse’s face which was full of gossip, she immediately understood. Thinking that she was beaten by Zhong Qiao until she got a concussion, it should have caused quite a stir.

    “What? What do you want to say to me?”

    Bai Ertang decided to make appropriate use of the curiosity of passers-by to ferment this matter.

    “That, your relationship with Dr. Zhong…”

    Bai Ertang blinked aggrievedly and squeezed out two tears. Just as she was about to say something, Zhong Qiao came in.

    He was holding a bunch of flowers in his hand. After Bai Ertang looked at him carefully, she realized that he looked very depressed.

    His face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his chin was showing stubble.

    Before Bai Ertang could speak, Zhong Qiao had already made a preemptive strike, staggering and rushing to Bai Ertang’s side, “Xiaoyu, you woke up, it’s all my fault for being too careless, a joke made you like this! Seeing you faint, I… I almost lost the will to live anymore, fortunately you’re fine.”

    Nani, Zhong Qiao’s lines are too… nauseous, it’s almost as if he was possessed, but the key is that in her carefully designed trap, she almost lost her life, and was also deducted a point, and now with Zhong Qiao’s two sentences everything has become a joke?

    “…But I…” Bai Ertang wanted to make a comeback, but then Father and Mother Tang came in.

    “Zhong Qiao, don’t blame yourself too much. This incident was an accident, and it’s because Xiaoyu likes to make a fool of herself. You missed her and failed to catch her. For Xiaoyu’s sake, you haven’t rested all day and night, so you should take care of yourself first. Only then can you continue to take care of Xiaoyu.”

“Parents, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I’m really ashamed to see you!” Zhong Qiao’s bloodshot eyes were wet, and the man looked like he was about to burst into tears. It’s just that they didn’t get to perform the “sad” show for too long.

     There were people behind Father and Mother Tang who came to visit her, they were Tang Yu’s colleagues and students. Everyone listened to Tang Yu’s parents and husband’s words back and forth, and seemed to have understood the truth. It was just an accident that Zhong Qiao flung Tang Yu away.

     This fairy couple is still in love.

    Bai Ertang was stunned, what’s the matter, so has she entered a novel where all characters are at the level of Oscars? How can everyone act so well?

    [Host, it seems that your superiority in acting is useless in this world.]

    The friendly reminder of the system gave Bai Ertang another fatal blow.

    “…”

     “Everyone has also seen Xiaoyu. She is not in a good condition now and needs to rest. We are very grateful for everyone’s kindness!”

     Mother and Father Tang were afraid that Tang Yu would make trouble again, so they quickly tried to send the visiting colleagues and students away. Bai Ertang wanted to take the opportunity to express her demands, but was stared at by Mother Tang, who reminded Bai Ertang that this pair of parents lived for their wealth. They are a pair of people who can sell their daughter’s lifelong happiness for wealth, if she really takes the initiative to screw up the marriage, then she is afraid that Tang Yu’s parents will not let Tang Yu go.

     So Bai Ertang shut up obediently, and let the three of them continue to act. After a while, all the people who came to visit left, and there were only four people left in the ward.

     Zhong Qiao regained his indifferent expression within a second. He no longer looked at Bai Ertang, but nodded slightly to Father Tang, “Dad, Mom, I have something to do in the hospital, so I’ll go first.”

     “Okay, Zhong Qiao, hurry up. Hand Xiaoyu over to us, don’t worry, we promise that there will be no such trouble in the future.”

    Zhong Qiao nodded and wanted to leave, but Mother Tang quickly added, “Then Zhong Qiao, your parents need to tell you a few words about the bank account…”

    “Parents, don’t worry, as long as Xiaoyu is well, you don’t have to worry over there.”

    Zhong Qiao’s words were meaningful, as he glanced at Bai Ertang, “I hope there will be no such thing as today again. By the way, I will attend a classmate’s wedding in a week, I hope Xiaoyu can cooperate well when the time comes.”

    “That’s for sure.” Mother Tang agreed.

    As soon as Zhong Qiao left, the Tang couple’s faces completely sank, with a posture that the mountains are about to collapse and the thunder is about to come. Bai Ertang sighed inwardly, it seems that she underestimated the NPCs in the task this time. She thought that they were just a few wooden people, who had the work of promoting the plot, but she did not expect them to become her own obstacles.

    Right now, Bai Ertang is alone, her parents and in-laws are all staring at her. Bai Ertang hesitated for a second, “Dad, Mom, it’s not what you think, I really didn’t know that Zhong Qiao’s reaction will be so big. When I saw those many people in the restaurant, I just want to pull him to show our affection, how will I know that he will directly throw me away.”

Father Tang continued to stare at her, “Do you treat us as fools? Didn’t you know long ago that Zhong Qiao… he, he doesn’t like women, yet you still leaned on him! I think you did it on purpose!”

     “Xiaoyu, you have gone too far this time. Do you know that because of this incident, Zhong Qiao’s secret could hardly be hidden, and your parents-in-law are very powerful people in the city. Zhong Qiao’s incident cannot be exposed! After you did that, your parents-in-law are very angry. Just now, your father and I received more than a dozen bank billing calls! Do you want to kill us by doing this?”

     “…What about me?” Bai Ertang couldn’t help but shout, “What should I do? Do I really need to be a fake couple with Zhong Qiao for a lifetime?”

    “Xiaoyu, You don’t have to worry about this.” Mother Tang reassured Bai Ertang, “As for this matter, we have discussed it with your parents-in-law a long time ago. After you and Zhong Qiao have a child, you can divorce peacefully in two years, so that the Zhong family will have a successor, and Zhong Qiao’s reason behind the divorce will not be suspected by the outsiders.”

    Bai Ertang was stunned, they had already discussed it? Is the Zhong family playing a place drama. Wanting to use her as the tool to get the throne? First, to cover up Zhong Qiao’s sexuality, and second, to inherit the Zhong family’s lineage?

    So the background of this world is actually the Qing Dynasty palace drama?

    [Host, the task background is modern. But these old ideas are everywhere, regardless of the times.]

    “It’s better to have a boy.” Father Tang added.

    Mother Tang also nodded with a smile, “Yes, your in-laws have already agreed, they will give you a house in the city if you give birth to a son, and will also give you a million if you give birth to a daughter. After a few years, your parents’ business will be back on tract and you don’t need to worry about it. After you divorce, you can get the house and the money, and the child will be left to the Zhong family. At that time, if you have money and a house, it will not be difficult to remarry.”

    “…”

    From economic and intellectual considerations, Mother Tang said it very well. It makes sense, even if it’s five years later, Tang Yu will not be thirty years old, still very young, with good looks, good money, good job, whether she wants to remarry or not, it all depends on her mood.

    And if the only bad thing she has to consider, it should be her lost reputation as a divorced woman. However this is not important.

    “What about the child? You don’t care if I give birth to a child?”

    “What else do we need care about? After the child is born, it is a member of the Zhong family, and it has nothing to do with you. Xiaoyu, listen to your mother, mother is doing it for your own good. Now you just have to do this play honestly, and besides, the Zhong family didn’t treat you badly, you see, this hospital room is a single VIP room, it was the Zhong family who asked and paid for it.”

    “Really, it’s the case of not knowing happiness if you are born in a happy place. You have to remember what your mother just said. Next time you make trouble, don’t talk about us, your in-laws will not let you go. You are just a university teacher in their eyes, for them it’s not difficult to find a reason to fire you, it’s just a matter of minutes.”

    “Yeah, Xiaoyu, what your dad said is right, this matter is not only about our business, but also about your own future!”

    “…”

    This Tang couple really has a tacit understanding, one acts as the good person and the other as the bad. To sum it up, being Zhong Qiao’s fake wife, everyone will have a good life, but if they fall out, the Tang family’s business will be finished, and Tang Yu will also follow them.

    Oh, what a crisis.
