Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Panda Novel

Nan Nan was too free. That was why her thoughts wandered. If Nan Nan was ‘busier’, perhaps that would be better. With this thought in mind, Zhai Sheng wasn’t polite to Qiao Nan at all. It had already been more than ten years since they fell in love. The seven-year itch had never happened to them before.

On the contrary, when the two of them were together, they often gave people the feeling that they were very sweet.

Qiao Nan entrusted Xu Shengnan’s matter fully to Zhai Sheng’s comrade friend. However, Qiao Nan knew a little of the follow-up development regarding Xu Shengnan’s divorce.

During the first few years of marriage, Xu Shengnan’s man had performed well. He was honest and cared about his family. Knowing that his wife was busy at work and had to do overtime often, he practically pushed away all opportunities of overtime and socializing. He would return home after work to take care of his daughter.

At that time, Qiao Nan felt that Xu Shengnan was quite blessed to have found such a husband.

However, at this moment, Qiao Nan no longer thought so. She could only say that this man was too cunning. This man didn’t work overtime and had stayed at home for a longer period of time. On the surface, it looked as if he had invested more time in this family than Xu Shengnan. How touching was it for a man to stay at home to bring up the child?

However, Xu Shengnan lived with her mother-in-law. With her mother-in-law around, how would she let her son take care of her granddaughter? Everything should have been done by her mother-in-law. Instead, a man who was lazy to work overtime and would lie on the bed once he reached home actually became more family-focused than Xu Shengnan?

After all, once the door was shut, aside from the people in this family, would any outsiders know what kind of life this family was leading?

Qiao Nan didn’t know about this in the past. She heard from Xu Shengnan recently that her mother-in-law and husband favored sons. As such, it was impossible for the man to have taken care of the child. Even if the grandmother was taking care of the child, her attitude toward her wouldn’t be any better.

Otherwise, why would the child like her maternal grandmother more although she had spent more time interacting with her paternal grandmother?

Qiao Nan also found out about this point only recently. After buying the house, aside from the down payment, Xu Shengnan had been paying the mortgage alone. That man didn’t work overtime and received a basic salary every month. However, these wages weren’t handed over to Xu Shengnan. Instead, he kept it in his own pockets.

To put it bluntly, Xu Shengnan had been paying everything for the house except for the down payment. If that man hadn’t created the image of a good man, Xu Shengnan wouldn’t have had to work herself so hard and do the overtime that the man was supposed to do so that the mortgage could be paid off as soon as possible.

Now, most of the mortgage had been paid off and there wasn’t much left. As such, that mother-and-son pair felt confident that they no longer had to rely on Xu Shengnan to pay off the mortgage. If they saved a little more, they could pay off everything within a few years. Thus, they laid out the cards to Xu Shengnan, wanting both the grandson and the house.

That mother-and-son pair had really taken all the good things in this world.

However, one couldn’t always get what they wanted. How were things that simple?

With Qiao Nan’s help, Xu Shengnan very quickly obtained evidence of her man’s affairs. This man was too arrogant. When he brought his mistress to the hospital for an obstetrical examination, he claimed to be her husband. Not only were the bills and money deducted from this man’s salary, but he had also signed on all the necessary procedures.

With these receipts and evidence, he couldn’t run away from the label of having an affair.

There were cracks in their relationship and they couldn’t continue their marriage. It was naturally easier to get a divorce. Furthermore, both parties had the intention to get a divorce now. The last point of contention was the division of assets after the divorce.

The man expressed that he wanted their daughter, thus he wanted to have a bigger share of the assets. After all, this sum of money was for their daughter. Moreover, he asked Xu Shengnan to give their daughter a monthly living allowance of two thousand yuan. Although their daughter was still young, a lot of money was spent on her studies. That was especially so since Xu Shengnan liked their daughter to learn this and enroll in that.

Of course, she had to continue studying those that she had already started learning. Xu Shengnan had to be responsible for this amount of money partially. Not only that, that man even set the condition of hoping Xu Shengnan could pay off their daughter’s living allowance of ten years in one go. He didn’t want to be a debt collector and keep asking Xu Shengnan for money every month. This was unsightly for both parties.

Both of them had shared the same bed for almost ten years. Even if they had gotten a divorce, they were still friends. For their daughter, they didn’t need to get themselves into an embarrassing situation. It was better for everyone to be more polite with each other.

That man’s requests sounded reasonable on the surface. Only the people who understood the truth knew how overboard and shameless this man’s requests were.

Seeing that the other party’s lawyer had a hypocritical smile, Xu Shengnan’s lawyer didn’t bother to talk nonsense to them. He threw out a bunch of evidence. “We understand your requests. However, before determining the specific details of the divorce, perhaps you would be interested to look at these things.”

“These photos and photocopied documents have proven that your client had an affair and betrayed my client. We are all lawyers. Under such circumstances, we all know it in our hearts who it will be more beneficial to if we go to court. Besides, their daughter isn’t very young. I feel that it is more important to respect the opinion of the child when it comes to whom she wants to follow after the divorce. Furthermore, your client is going to be a father again soon. From these photos, it’s not hard to tell that he’s looking forward to the child in this woman’s belly and is very touched that he’s going to be a father again. I think after this child is born, your client shouldn’t have so much time to take care of two children, right?”

When Xu Shengnan’s lawyer took out the evidence, the man’s lawyer changed his face almost immediately and looked at the man with unkind eyes. When it was determined that they could be going to court, the lawyer had asked him a number of times if he had committed any wrongs during this marriage and if the woman had any evidence of it on her hands.

That man told his lawyer time and time again that he didn’t commit any mistakes and it was purely because their relationship had broken down. They couldn’t lead their lives together anymore and both parties had agreed to a divorce. The only reason why they were inseparable at the moment was because of the division of assets after the divorce.
