Chapter 265 Why is it like this?
"Promotion?" Yun Yan turned around and sneered, "You're lucky if you don't get punished."
Liu Yan was stunned. "Are you serious?"
"Do you think I'd joke with you?" Yun Yan looked at her, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"But...but why?" Liu Yan asked, grabbing him.
Yun Yan lowered her hand. "Thanks to you."
"What...what happened to me?" Liu Yan had no idea what trouble she had gotten herself into.
"Didn't you report me and Lin Qingping? Are you satisfied now?" Yun Yan said, opened the car door, got in, started the car, and sped away.
"No, Yun Yan..." Liu Yan called out to him anxiously from behind, but he didn't stop.
Liu Yan watched his car drive away, annoyed. "How could that be? I only reported it to the military!"
Yun Yan did have a chance for promotion this time, but he never expected that instead of a promotion, he would be suspended from his post for investigation due to misconduct.
And it was his wife who reported him.
Yes, Liu Yan did not report him to his workplace, but only to Gu Juncheng's school.
But what was she thinking that after she reported it, the military investigation would only target Lin Qingping? What made her think the military wouldn't transfer the matter to his unit? And what made her think he could stay out of it?
Issues of conduct...
Does she even know how serious the crime of hooliganism is?
He is indeed innocent, but investigations take time, and a temporary suspension is inevitable. Liu Yan was hoping for his promotion, but by the time the investigation results are released, he will have missed out on that promotion.
He was somewhat confused as to why Liu Yan had become like this. It turned out she was a bit pretentious and prone to flattering others while belittling them. He had thought it was a minor issue; who doesn't have flaws? Besides, with him at the helm of the household, these small problems were insignificant compared to her overall virtues. Who could have predicted that she would become so domineering, unreasonable, and ignorant?
Yun Yan drove to the suburbs and stayed there for several days.
Every day, I follow Grandpa Yun to grow vegetables and raise chickens. In my spare time, I write calligraphy and play chess, leading a uniquely peaceful life.
That day, as usual, he finished a game of chess with Grandpa Yun. He lost and wanted to play again, but Grandpa Yun put the chess pieces away.
"You're not paying attention, it's no fun playing." The old man was quite disdainful of him.
Yun Yan paused slightly, then rearranged the chessboard. "Let's play again. This time I promise I'll concentrate."
"I'm not going!" The old man waved his hand. "What's wrong with you? You've been here for days, not even going to work. Did something happen? Do you think I'm stupid?"
Yun Yan remained silent.
"Where is Liu Yan?" the old man asked again.
Yun Yan fell silent.
"Go away, go away! A real man shouldn't be hiding here instead of solving the problem properly? Are you trying to be a coward?" The old man started to shoo him away. "Pack your things and go back now."
“There’s no going back.” Yun Yan sighed. “Grandpa, I want a divorce.”
Grandpa Yun was taken aback.
"Grandpa," Yun Yan said, quite troubled, "I..."
He sighed repeatedly, unable to express himself.
Actually, being suspended from work wasn't his biggest worry. The truth would eventually come out, and he would be able to go back to work. As for whether he would be promoted, he didn't care. He was fine with himself; whatever position he held was work.
His only worries are marriage and family.
He sighed for a long time before finally explaining why he had been here for the past few days.
"Grandpa, I never expected it to turn out like this. I can't go on like this anymore." He lowered his head, and despite his young age, one or two strands of white hair could be faintly seen among his hair.
Grandpa Yun didn't speak, waiting for him to calm down and raise his head again before saying, "Yun Yan, I don't want to say much about your private life, but backing down when faced with problems is not the behavior of a man. You ask me why I've become like this, why don't you think about why you've become like this?"
Yun Yan remained silent.
"As a man, don't you bear any responsibility for how this family has become like this, or rather, for how Liu Yan has become like this?"
"She doesn't understand. Have you taught her?"
"Is this her personality, because you spoil her?"
The old man asked Yun Yan a series of questions, leaving him speechless.
"No matter what, it's almost the end of the year, you can't just stay here for the New Year."
"Dad!" With a clear child's voice, Yun Xiaoshan ran towards Yun Yan.
Yun Yan hugged his son and looked over his son's shoulder at Liu Yan behind them.
Liu Yan, who disliked the countryside and was determined not to come to the old man's place, stood at the door wearing high-top leather shoes, hesitant to speak, and dared not come in.
"Dad, why haven't you been home for several days? I miss you so much." Yun Xiaoshan asked, holding Yun Yan's hand, and then whispered in his ear, "My mom misses you too. She asked me to bring her to pick you up and take you home."
"Xiaoshan, what are you saying?" Liu Yan asked worriedly at the door.
Yun Xiaoshan turned around and said, "Mom, I didn't say anything. I just said I missed Dad."
Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling both uneasy and embarrassed. "Xiao Shan really misses you. He asks me every day when you're coming home."
Even a blind man could see that Liu Yan was using her son as a shield to beg for peace with Yun Yan.
Yun Yan looked at his chubby son in his arms, sighed inwardly, and stood up. "Let's go home." Then he turned back to the old man and said, "Grandpa, you have to come back with us for the New Year, right?"
Liu Yan was overjoyed to hear that Yun Yan was coming home. She came in to help him pack his things and, upon hearing this, said to the old man, "Yes, Grandpa, we'll have Yun Yan come to pick you up so we can celebrate the New Year together."
She was trying her best to change, as a way of apologizing to Yun Yan. In the past, she would never have been so polite to the old man.
The old man, not wanting to put his grandson in a difficult position, nodded and said, "Okay."
The family of three finally got into the car and left. Inside, Liu Yan's eyes were red-rimmed, and she whispered to Yun Yan, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it would turn out like this..."
Yun Yan drove his car, looking ahead. The trees on both sides of the road were bare, without a single leaf.
Another winter has arrived...
Another year has passed, and Lin Qingping's life has entered winter vacation mode.
Xiaoqin did well in the preliminary exam for her major and successfully made it to the interview list. She will have to take the interview again next semester after the New Year, so she has already happily gone home.
Gu Youlian and Du Gen, a couple from different places, would always go to Du Gen's place during holidays, stay until the New Year, and then return to the village with Du Gen.
My second sister participated in a spring exchange program this year, and during the winter break she went abroad to study and exchange ideas. She won't be able to come back until she graduates.
Lin Qingping also gave Sister Zhao a break early, and this winter vacation, Lin Qingping's house was unusually quiet.
Only Zhiyuan stayed with her in the huge house.
One of them was reading and doing homework, while the other was engrossed in designing new desserts and clothes, making their time both quiet and fulfilling.
Lin Qingping, in particular, was experimenting with new foods every day, which was a real treat for Zhiyuan, who loved sweets.
I thought winter vacation would just pass like this, and I thought the Lunar New Year would just be spent with the two of them, but there are always so many unexpected things in life...
