MTL - I Married the Second Male Lead After Reincarnating-Chapter 9 Drink plenty of water, take more medicine
After arriving home, Xia Zimu called Bai Yiyi.
"Yiyi, ask your brother to introduce me to a fighting coach, and I will go to class tomorrow!"
Bai Yiyi put on the mask and fell on the bed, "You are a big girl, what do you want to learn?"
"Beat up."
The next time Gu Huaixi suppresses her like this again, her name will not be Xia Zimu.
Early on Saturday morning, Xia Zimu and Bai Yiyi gathered at the gym.
This gym is invested and opened by Bai Yiyi's brother Wen Yanyi. Xia Zimu is Bai Yiyi's friend, and the coach who teaches her is naturally the best.
Laying the foundation on the first day is the most tiring, with a lot of physical training.
Bai Yiyi just watched from the sidelines, feeling tired for Xia Zimu.
Wen Yan came to see them and brought some food along the way.
Xia Zimu drank a bottle of energy drink and continued.
Bai Yiyi took Wen Yanyi and sat down beside him, watching Xia Zimu's training.
Wen Yan unscrewed the drink and handed it to Bai Yiyi. She took a sip and asked, "Brother, mom said you've been on a blind date recently, is there anyone you like?"
"No, it doesn't feel right."
"That's good."
Wen Yan's eyes flickered slightly, "Why do you say that?"
"Because you're married, it's my turn. Now that my parents are focusing on you, no one cares about me."
Wen Yan laughed, "Little heartless."
Bai Yiyi smirked twice, approached him, and touched his shoulder teasingly, "Brother, what do you like, tell me, maybe one of my friends has it, let me introduce it to you."
Wen Yanyi moved a little to the side, "No, I have someone I like."
"Hey? Who is who? How long have you liked her?"
"Eight years."
"I'm going, I don't even know! Eight years... Is it someone you knew before you came to the Bai family?"
Wen Yan has been living in the Bai family since his parents died unexpectedly when he was 16 years old. These years, the two elders of the Bai family have always treated him as their own son, and even entrusted him to help take care of the company.
In Bai Yiyi's impression, there are very few girls around Wen Yanyi, and the one he has liked for eight years is probably someone he knew before coming to the Bai family.
Wen Yan smiled without saying a word, stood up, and rubbed the top of her hair.
"I still have something to do. There is a restaurant in the shopping mall opposite. You can eat at noon by yourself."
Bai Yiyi barely held back her gossip soul, "Okay."
The morning training was over, and the two went to the opposite shopping mall.
Passing by a jewelry store, a middle-aged woman called Xia Zimu to stop.
The woman wears a brown chiffon shirt on her upper body, a patterned silk scarf around her neck, and a pair of black straight-leg pants on her lower body.
Xia Zimu stopped, "Mrs. Gu."
She was already planning to divorce Gu Huaixi, so she didn't call her mother anymore.
Ms. Gu came out of the store, followed by Yan Man.
Xia Zimu raised his eyebrows.
She and Gu Huaixi haven't divorced yet, so Yan Man has come to curry favor with her future mother-in-law.
Madam Gu stopped in front of her, her tone was always condescending, "Huaixi said you went back to your mother's house, what's going on?"
Mrs. Gu went on a trip before, and she didn't know that Xia Zimu was going to divorce Gu Huaixi.
Gu Huaixi didn't talk about this with Mrs. Gu, and Xia Zimu didn't talk too much, just said: "It's better not to ask too many questions about private matters."
Madam Gu showed displeasure, "What's your attitude?"
Madam Gu has always disliked Xia Zimu.
Xia Zimu married into the Gu family with 5 billion, and the old sisters who were close to her all said that the Gu family was able to have today because of Xia Zimu, which made her always feel that the Gu family was overwhelmed by this woman.
This girl just married doesn't understand any rules, and she has bad habits all over her body.
She taught her a lot of "rules", this girl was quite obedient, she didn't resist her, and usually greeted her cautiously.
Today this girl speaks so unrulyly, did she lose her temper after returning to her mother's house for a few days?
Thinking about this, she felt even more displeased, and reprimanded her: "You're already married, so you just go back to your mother's house and spread the word. Those who don't know will think that Huaixi has done something to you."
Xia Zimu's expression was light, with impatience in his eyes, "There's nothing else, I'll go first."
"Wait!" Madam Gu didn't let her go, "It just so happened that we met today, so you go with me to the hospital."
"Are you sick? Drink more water, take more medicine, goodbye."
Mrs. Gu was furious at her words, "I'm treating you! You and Huaixi have been married for a year, and there is no movement in your stomach. Maybe there is something wrong with you."
"I have a question?" Xia Zimu smiled, "Madam Gu, let me tell you a secret."
"What?"
She leaned close to Mrs. Gu's ear and whispered, "Your son, don't lift it."
Madam Gu was shocked, "What you said is true!?"
Xia Zimu smiled inexplicably, "I don't know the details, anyway, he was like this when he faced me. Why don't you ask Yan Man?"
Yan Man's expression changed after being named, and Mrs. Gu was suspicious, "What does this have to do with Man Man?"
Xia Zimu didn't explain, and was about to leave, "Mrs. Gu, my friend and I are hungry, so I won't chat with you anymore. If you want a grandson, go ask your good son."
After Xia Zimu left, Mrs. Gu quickly recovered.
She is not an idiot either, not long after Xia Zimu moved out, Yan Man returned to China, and even invited her to go shopping...
Madam Gu turned to Yan Man, "Manman, explain to me."
Yan Man bit her lower lip and said nothing.
…
When Gu Huaixi came out of a meeting, he saw Mrs. Gu waiting for him in the office.
He closed the door, "Mom, why are you here?"
Madam Gu took a sip of her new tea, "I heard that you are going to divorce Xia Zimu?"
Gu Huaixi paused, "Who told you? Xia Zimu?"
His first reaction was that Xia Zimu regretted it and asked his mother to be a peacemaker.
"Manman told me." Mrs. Gu put down her teacup, "Manman is a good girl, I know you like her, but you can't divorce Xia Zimu.
"At the beginning, our Gu family borrowed 5 billion from the Xia family. Although we have already paid it back, who in the circle does not know that the Xia family is kind to our Gu family? You and Xia Zimu are divorced. Those people don't know how to organize our family.
"Xia Zimu is not good anywhere, but it's good to just like you wholeheartedly. You tell her that you won't leave, let her move back."
Gu Huaixi sat down beside her, the emotion in his eyes was dim, "It's not that I want to leave her."
Madam Gu didn't believe it, "What's the matter, could it be that she wants to leave you?"
Gu Huaixi didn't say a word, it was a tacit agreement.
The office was quiet for a while, before Mrs. Gu frowned and asked, "Did she really mention it?"
"Um."
Madam Gu was astonished, "How is it possible..."
Xia Zimu likes Gu Huaixi, everyone in Yucheng's upper circle knows.
When she chased after Gu Huaixi, she didn't hide it. Every day, she had a hearty breakfast with flowers, famous watches, and tried to please him in different ways.
She seemed to wish she could dedicate everything she had to Gu Huaixi.
Even when the Gu family was most isolated and helpless, she lent 5 billion to Gu Huaixi without saying a word, without even issuing an IOU.
Although Mrs. Gu doesn't like Xia Zimu, she also understands that her son should push Xia Zimu into a hurry.
Otherwise, the girl who loves her son so much would not be able to take the initiative to divorce Gu Huaixi.
She frowned, "What did you do to her?"
Gu Huaixi felt powerless for the first time in his life, "I didn't do anything."
Paused, "I spilled a glass of water on her. But it was because she broke the watch that Manman gave me—"
"Manman?" Mrs. Gu grasped the key point at once, "You have been in contact with Yan Man during the past few years abroad."
"…Um."
Mrs. Gu was a little displeased, "You are already married to Xia Zimu, how can you still have affairs with other women?"
"But I love Manman, I can't forget her."
"What about Xia Zimu?"
Gu Huaixi wanted to say that he didn't like her at all.
But the words came to his lips, he hesitated.
He didn't even think about it himself.
Xia Zimu offered to divorce, but he didn't want to agree.
He can't figure it out, is it because of possessiveness? Competitive? Or something else?
Mrs. Gu stood up, "Huaixi, you should remember how our family fell apart. If it wasn't for your father having another woman, it would be impossible for the Gu family to be left with only us mother and son.
"I don't agree with the divorce between you and Xia Zimu, you will accompany me to bring Xia Zimu back tonight!
"As for Yan Man, don't contact me yet."
"..."
"Did you hear clearly?"
Gu Huaixi didn't reply.
Ask him to bring Xia Zimu back, he can't bear this face.
He would rather choose to divorce Xia Zimu.
Mrs. Gu said angrily: "If you don't go, don't recognize me as a mother!"
Gu Huaixi opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. After a while, he reluctantly nodded.
