The Actor’s Ex-wife

Chapter 56

“Grandpa, did you have something to do when you called your brother back in a hurry yesterday?” Jian You said cautiously.

"How did you know that I called him back yesterday?" The old man also knew that Shen Xiao didn't care much for his sister Jian You, and he didn't expect that the two of them would be together yesterday.

"I felt a little uncomfortable the night before yesterday. My brother went home and took me for a physical examination yesterday." Although Shen Xiao did not treat his original body well in the past, his recent performance was not too bad, so Jian You told the truth.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Where do you feel uncomfortable?" The old man obviously missed the point.

"I'm fine, I just probably ate too much and have some bloating." Jian You said this deliberately to avoid worrying the old man.

"It's okay," Mr. Shen breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly asked Jian You: "Is it because you only want to divorce Shen Xiao because you read the scandals in the newspapers?"

As soon as the old man said this, Jian You understood that the old man probably also knew about the scandal between Shen Xiao and Bai Tingting.

"It's not because of this..." Jian You lowered her head, thinking about how to persuade the old man. Although she didn't know what happened to Shen Xiao and Bai Tingting that day, after all, the two of them would be together in the end. Bai Tingting would also call the old man "grandpa".

“Grandpa, don’t be angry. How can you believe these gossips in the entertainment industry? They are all written randomly. Everyone thinks it’s just for fun, but they can’t be taken seriously.”

 “If you’re not serious, then why do you insist on divorcing Shen Xiao?” This time, the old man became reluctant.

 It seems logically possible, but the reason is definitely not like this.

“Grandpa, my brother has always been troubled by this marriage, and I have not gotten the happiness I deserve in this marriage. If separation is the best medicine to end this pain, then why don’t we give it a try?”

Jian You raised her head and looked at Mr. Shen with a smile. Although she knew in her heart that the original Jian You might not be able to abandon Shen Xiao like this, this was a good start for both of them.

 There is some throbbing pain in my heart, which is very painful. But she clearly didn't feel that uncomfortable, but she couldn't help but have red eyes.

"Jian You, I wanted to give you the best life, but now I find that I was wrong. Can you forgive me, a self-righteous old man?" The old man's cloudy eyes were a little red, and he reached out and patted the back of Jian You's hand.

"Grandpa, you have always given me the best, and from now on, I will be the best version of myself." This is what Jian You said to Mr. Shen, and this sentence is also for the inner man. My heartbroken self said it. The atmosphere became much more relaxed next time, but when Jian You talked about moving outside, Mr. Shen still frowned: "Why do you want to move outside? Isn't the villa on the beach bad? Besides, where are you?" I’m used to it.”

"I want to find a job in the city, so it's not convenient to live by the sea." Jian You told the truth that it was impossible to hide these things from Mr. Shen in the future, so it was better to tell him honestly now.

"Why don't you go to Shen's if you want to work? What position do you want, I will arrange one for you now..."

The old man spoke eloquently, and Jian You quickly waved her hands and said: "No, no, grandpa, I finally understand why my brother and you never said we would go together. You can decide other people's lives with just two or three words..."

Before Jian You could finish what he said, the old man suddenly understood and laughed: "You girl! You're going round the corner to say nice things to your brother! He doesn't appreciate it either!"

In fact, Jian You didn't say good things for Shen Xiao. After all, she had seen the old man's paternalistic style. Shen Xiao really couldn't hold his head up in front of him, but this would only make their conflicts deepen. After all, They are grandfather and grandson.

 The study room was laughing happily, when Mrs. Liu came in and replied: "Old sir, Mr. Shen and Lawyer Chen are here."

Jian You raised her head and looked along the corridor outside the door. Shen Lvzhen and a middle-aged man came this way, chatting as they walked.

After Mrs. Liu said that, she left. Shen Lu walked to the door and his eyes first fell on Jian You. The woman was wearing an off-white lace dress and sitting on a European-style pastoral chair behind her, like a noble princess.

Jian You happened to raise her head at this time, and their eyes met. Shen Lu nodded to her calmly as if to say hello. Jian You pretended not to see it at all and looked away indifferently.

Shen Lu didn't show any embarrassment, and instead smiled and talked to Mr. Shen: "I heard from my mother that grandpa was in a bad mood yesterday, so she came over to see grandpa. Unexpectedly, she met Lawyer Chen on the road."

Shen Lu is the son of the old man's nephew, and he also calls the old man grandpa, but this relationship is definitely not as close as that between Jian You and Shen Xiao.

The old man treats Shen Lu well, but he will definitely not let him know some private things. He nodded gently and said, "It's not that brat Shen Xiao who did so many messy things that makes me angry when I think about it!"

Shen Lu seemed to be listening seriously, but his eyes glanced towards Jian You, and he said with a smile: "The entertainment industry is quite chaotic to begin with, and there are many famous people, so Ah Xiao probably can't help it."
