Chapter 69 Matching
Zhong Xiaoqin had the nanny prepare a house in Linjiangxian Mansion and temporarily lend it to Gu Jia so she would have a place to stay. Xu Ziyan hadn't withdrawn from kindergarten, and Gu Jia's father's small house was too far away, so Gu Jia agreed.
Wang Wenwen even advised Chen Yu to buy Gu Jia's house in Junyue Mansion and then sell it back to her when she had the money, as a way to keep a memento. Chen Yu didn't agree. Gu Jia was a decisive person; since she had started a new life, she wouldn't dwell on the past! Besides, Chen Yu felt that his family had already done enough for Gu Jia, and anything more would be excessive.
…………
Lin Youyou had other plans to provoke Gu Jia and make her give up on Xu Huanshan, such as going to the kindergarten to tell Xu Ziyan the story of his parents' divorce. However, before she could use these plans, Gu Jia divorced Xu Huanshan. Fortunately, she didn't have time to do so, otherwise Gu Jia might not have divorced and might have chosen to confront Lin Youyou head-on until she drove Lin Youyou out of Shanghai.
Anyway, Xu Huanshan and Gu Jia got divorced, and Lin Youyou was overjoyed, almost unable to keep her composure. Fortunately, seeing Xu Huanshan's gloomy face, she pretended to be sad and sympathetic, and hugged Xu Huanshan, "I'm sorry, I just felt that we should get to know each other better. It's all my fault. I didn't expect Sister Gu Jia to make this choice."
Xu Huanshan hugged Lin Youyou tighter and patted her back. "This isn't your fault. Gu Jia and I did have some problems." Originally, Xu Huanshan wanted to break up with Lin Youyou, but he suddenly divorced Gu Jia, so Lin Youyou couldn't leave. Otherwise, it would be a classic case of losing everything.
Lin Youyou suddenly looked up at Xu Huanshan and asked, "Will you marry me?"
Xu Huanshan hadn't really thought about it. He used to only want to keep Lin Youyou as a mistress, but now that they were divorced, it seemed like marrying Lin Youyou was the only option. Xu Huanshan didn't think about it for too long, otherwise he would have to coax Lin Youyou if she got angry. "Of course I will marry you! Let's go get our marriage certificate tomorrow!"
"I knew you were the best, honey, I can call you honey now!" Lin Youyou looked like she had finally gotten her wish.
That evening, next to Lin Youyou's rented room, she heard faint screams. A sleeping child muttered in his sleep, "Why does that pig's squeal sound so strange? It sounds like an old man's scream."
The next day at noon, Xu Huanshan and Lin Youyou chose a romantic restaurant to celebrate their legal marriage. Two bright red marriage certificates were prominently displayed on the table. Their chosen private room was near the window. Gu Jia, leading Xu Ziyan, passed by on the street. Xu Ziyan, with his sharp eyes, spotted Xu Huanshan immediately, crying, "Daddy, Daddy!" Luckily, Gu Jia was holding Xu Ziyan's hand, preventing him from suddenly running into the middle of the road. Once Gu Jia saw what was happening through the window, she quickly covered Xu Ziyan's mouth and pulled him away. Gu Jia, though acting like a man, wasn't truly a man; she still felt uncomfortable about Xu Huanshan and Lin Youyou getting together so quickly.
Back home, Gu Jia quickly composed herself. Since they had separated, it was time to start anew. She was determined to create a bright future for herself and her son, never relying on anyone again.

Wang Manni was called to the doctor's office. "Ms. Wang, you are aware of your mother's condition. Yesterday, the system showed that a suitable kidney donor was found. What are your thoughts on this?"
Wang Manni understood. "Doctor, how much will it cost?"
"It costs around 400,000 to 500,000 yuan, depending on the kidney donor's needs and the specific preoperative conditions. This is just the surgery cost; some follow-up treatments are also required after the surgery, so some preparations are necessary."
"Okay, I understand, doctor, thank you!" Wang Manni understood what the doctor meant; if she needed a kidney transplant, she needed to prepare in advance.
Slowly emerging from the cold hospital, Wang Manni's figure appeared exceptionally lonely and forlorn. She was like a child abandoned by the world, walking alone step by step along the bustling roadside. The once dusty, busy main road now seemed to her like an endless road of suffering, each speeding vehicle seeming to mock her misfortune. When she finally reached the leaf-strewn path from this oppressive main road, it was as if she had entered another world. The thick layer of fallen leaves rustled underfoot, as if telling of her inner pain and confusion. With each step, Wang Manni gradually felt a deep sorrow engulfing her like a tidal wave. The events of the past few days had swept in like a sudden storm, without warning, making her feel that her fate was so difficult and arduous, as if heaven had deliberately arranged these trials to test her. Why did this terrible misfortune have to find her? She couldn't help but ponder where she should go from here, and how she should face this unknown future. Her heart, like the path strewn with fallen leaves, was filled with unease and uncertainty, unsure of what awaited her at the next stop...
As Wang Manni was walking, she suddenly heard voices coming from the woods by the roadside. A woman's voice said, "Now that the three of us are here, tell me, what are you going to do? Divorce or break up?" Then a man's voice came through: "Wu Li, I'm sorry. I've thought about it for a long time, but I still don't want to divorce Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan, can you forgive me this time? I promise I won't do it again!" Another woman's voice said, "Promise? What promise do you have? This is the third time! How did you promise the first two times? You still want me to forgive you? How can I forgive you?" Then the first woman's voice came back: "So what are you going to do?" And the cycle began again…
Wang Manni expressed her disdain for the relationship between the three, especially that man. "You can't even manage a relationship between three people, yet you mess around like this. You're far inferior to someone else..."
If three people are okay... maybe four? Although it doesn't quite match my imagined story of a prince and princess, a story of a king and queen might be acceptable. At least I'd get royal treatment, and what I lack most is money!
Having made up her mind, Wang Manni began to woo Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Wenwen. No one wants trouble in their own backyard, and Wang Manni felt that Chen Yu certainly didn't want that either. The only way to get them to join was to get both of them to approve of the four of them being together; if even one of them disagreed, Chen Yu was unlikely to take any risks.
…………
Noon the next day.
Reader's Dessert Shop.
Wang Manni arranged to meet Zhong Xiaoqin here.
"Xiaoqin, come and try this!"
Zhong Xiaoqin thought it was just a simple dessert and felt no guilt whatsoever. "Manni, how is your family doing? I never expected that so many things would happen to your family in such a short time."
"Yes, I didn't expect it either. Anyway, everyone is fine except for my mom."
"How is your mother?" Zhong Xiaoqin was led astray.
Wang Manni looked distressed. "My mother needs a kidney transplant, which will cost as much as 500,000 yuan. I've already borrowed 100,000 yuan from Professor Chen, which you transferred to me. I don't know how I'm going to pay it back. I don't even dare to ask Professor Chen for 500,000 yuan!"
Zhong Xiaoqin stared at Wang Manni with her big, round eyes. "As long as you ask, my husband won't stand by and watch me die! After all, you're his savior, so what's a little money?"
