Chapter 85 Divorce
While Zhou Miao was celebrating, Yu Muzhou, whom they were talking about, was not in a good mood.
He sat on the sofa and had already smoked three cigarettes.
His wife, Tan Yun, sat opposite him, staring blankly at the divorce papers on the coffee table.
Last night, Yu Muzhou prepared a surprise for his wife and personally cooked a table full of her favorite dishes.
He occasionally cooks, but most of the time the housekeeper cooks for him.
However, when Tan Yun returned and saw these things, although she showed some joy, she was mostly absent-minded.
Yu Muzhou understood her fatigue after work, so he didn't pay attention to her attitude at this moment.
However, when I tried to talk to her about balancing family and career, the conflict between us erupted again.
In Yu Muzhou's view, his family was well-off and lacked nothing.
Even if you love your job and your career, you can shift your focus a little more towards your family, especially spending more time with your children.
In return, he could compromise by reducing his fishing trips and spending more time with her and the children.
But Yu Muzhou didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Yun sat up excitedly.
The phrase "Do you know how much effort I've put into the company?" refuted all his suggestions.
Actually, there's nothing wrong with that statement. Even if you disagree, Yu Muzhou can understand.
He just didn't expect Tan Yun to turn around and criticize him, saying that he shouldn't have been neglecting his duties by fishing.
Finally, she mentioned some female business owners she knew, whose husbands were all very successful, while she herself always felt embarrassed because of this and was ridiculed for marrying such a man.
Yu Muzhou was immediately amused by his wife's outburst of emotion, and he watched as she uttered some fairy-like remarks.
He suddenly realized that the so-called "strong woman" was just a persona she created.
If it weren't for my secret support and using my connections to help solve some problems, Tan Yun wouldn't be where she is today, so glamorous and successful.
Thinking about all this, Yu Muzhou felt utterly bored.
But not wanting to argue with her pointlessly, he went to hide in the study.
As soon as he reached the door, he heard the threat of divorce.
Therefore, this divorce agreement was signed early in the morning.
The living room was quiet, except for the strong smell of smoke.
The eerie silence was broken by footsteps coming from the stairs.
A boy of about ten years old ran quickly downstairs with his schoolbag on his back, followed by a nanny in her forties.
The little boy's eyes lit up when he saw Yu Muzhou: "Dad, are you going to take me to school?"
In most families, girls tend to be closer to their fathers, while boys tend to be closer to their mothers.
But Yu Muzhou's son seemed to have no regard for his mother at all, completely ignoring Tan Yun, who looked haggard beside him.
In Yu Huaizhao's world, his mother is always busy.
She's nowhere to be seen in the morning, and it's hard to find her at night either; her father is always by her side.
Unbeknownst to him, Yu Huaizhao had gone from habitually seeking help from his mother to seeking help from his father.
"Dad has something to do this morning, so I'll have Auntie take you there. Dad will pick you up tonight," Yu Muzhou said with a smile, rubbing his son's head.
He rarely takes his son to school, partly because he enjoys fishing, and the fish bite better in the morning.
Secondly, he loves to sleep in and usually can't get up in the morning, so he usually picks up his child in the evening.
Tan Yun, who was standing next to him, stared blankly at her son, who was a little disappointed but had obediently agreed, and suddenly realized something.
If she really gets divorced, she will lose not only her family and husband, but also her son!
So she quickly said, "Zhaozhao, Mommy's free today, how about Mommy takes you to school?"
"Don't call me Zhaozhao, it sounds like a girl's name. Mom, aren't you always busy? Why don't you have Auntie take me to school?"
Yu Huaizhao, looking quite sensible, finished speaking and then took his aunt's hand, walking towards the villa's parking lot.
Tan Yun's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter a single word.
Looking at her, Yu Muzhou sighed softly, "Do you understand now?"
Tan Yun remained silent for a moment, her usual assertiveness gone, replaced by a pleading look: "A-Zhou, let's not get a divorce, okay?"
These words made Yu Muzhou sigh again: "It seems you're just afraid of losing it, not that you truly understand."
"We can stay together, but you have to give up your career and return to your family."
"Impossible!" Tan Yun stood up abruptly, extremely agitated. "I've worked so hard to get to where I am now, I can't give up."
Yu Muzhou rolled his eyes: "What could you have accomplished without me? Do you really think you built the company up and so strong all by yourself?"
"I know you deserve a lot of credit for this, but Ah Zhou, I really enjoy being in the spotlight and being noticed. Please don't push me, okay?"
Tan Yun's tone was somewhat submissive, but her tightly pursed lips revealed her unwillingness to give up.
Looking at Yu Muzhou, who was sitting with his legs crossed, leaning back on the sofa, his emotions remaining largely unchanged, she suddenly felt as if she were seeing the first time they met.
She fell in love with this man at first sight. No matter what happened, he always seemed calm and collected, as if nothing could faze him.
No matter where he is, he is the most dazzling one. Even when surrounded by a group of rich kids, Yu Muzhou makes her infatuated and admiring!
But after having children, this man changed.
Even though he had become more family-oriented and cared more about her, Tan Yun found herself not so happy.
Until she had her own company, a group of employees working for her, and became the center of attention wherever she went.
This feeling gradually captivated her, and she became completely absorbed in it.
At the same time, she gradually grew tired of the increasingly ordinary Yu Muzhou, especially disgusted by his idle fishing and his only concern for his family.
But Tan Yun never intended to get a divorce. Last night was just an angry outburst. As a result, the first time she mentioned divorce, it actually came true.
"You have what you want to pursue, so I choose to let go. A simple, ordinary life is what I want; our views on life are completely different now."
"Your compromise today doesn't mean you agree with me. This conflict will always exist and will eventually erupt. So I think separating is our best option."
A smart woman doesn't let her man stay rational, because when a man becomes rational, he will start to analyze what he wants and what choice is best for him.
Yu Muzhou was also hesitant about getting a divorce, but Tan Yun's performance disappointed him too much.
There's nothing wrong with pursuing a career, and doing it well is the right thing to do, but you can't just make him give in; that's asking for both.
Yu Muzhou's idea last night was for everyone to compromise: he would sacrifice some of his hobbies, and she would sacrifice some of her work.
But now, with his rationality and clarity, he has become someone who insists that you can only listen to him, because he is the head of the household.
