Mother Tang and Li Songyun were busying themselves in the kitchen. In order to leave a good impression on Mother Tang, Xie Ruheng actively stepped forward to help.
“No, Xiao Xie, you are a guest. Just sit in the living room. The kitchen is our omega’s business…” Mother Tang tried to push Xie Ruheng out who was holding an apron.
At this time, a hand wearing white gloves neatly snatched away the pink apron.
Mother Tang: “?”
Xie Ruheng: “?”
Jiao Jian put on an apron and said, “Let me help.”
Li Songyun rolled up his sleeves and asked in surprise, “You learned how to cook?”
The only thing Jiao Jian was clumsy about was cooking. Even if he taught him step by step, Jiao Jian would still cook poorly.
“A bachelor must learn more.” Jiao Jian said, taking off his gloves and standing in front of the sink to wash his hands carefully.
If it were in the past, Li Songyun would definitely call Jiao Jian around without hesitation, but they hadn’t seen each other for so many years, and Jiao Jian was still helping in the Tang family’s kitchen…
“Xiao Jian, you and Xiao Xie, please go out.” Li Songyun’s tone was gentle, “You are guests, there is no reason to make guests busy.”
The action of washing hands paused for a moment, while the water still fell on his calloused hands, “Brother has taken care of me so much, now I also want to help my brother with something.”
Jiao Jian lowered his head, his tall back looking a little lonely for no reason, “Cooking is not my strong point, but I can definitely help you with your move.”
“Brother, can I come and help you when you move?”
Li Songyun felt inexplicably that if he didn’t agree, he would be a bit of a bully. “If you don’t mind the trouble, of course.”
Jiao Jian’s lips curled up slightly. Turning around, his smile was that of a mature man, mixed with a hint of unruliness, “I promise to complete the moving task!”
Mother Tang looked at the interaction between Jiao Jian and Li Songyun thoughtfully. When she and Li Songyun were the only ones left in the kitchen, Mother Tang whispered: “Did you know this Major Jiao in the past?”
“My family used to support his education, and I took care of him as a younger brother for two or three years.” Li Songyun asked: “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?”
“Do you know who the NPC he played in the game was?” Mother Tang lowered her voice: “Lu En, an NPC who has been unrequitedly in love with an omega for many years.”
“I heard that the experience of the NPC in the game is basically adapted from reality.”
“Tell me, is the omega he has been secretly in love with for so many years you?”
Li Songyun smiled, “What are you thinking about? I am seven years older than him.”
“What’s wrong with being seven years older? Bricks, you can hold two and a half gold bricks!” Mother Tang wanted to tease Li Songyun again, but seeing Li Songyun only serious about making the cake, he really didn’t seem to care.
….
Everyone ate at the round table. The desserts made by Li Songyun were delicious. Tang Bai ate several of them happily.
“Songyun, didn’t you say you were considering becoming a teacher? I contacted Director Huang of the Etiquette School for you, and he said that he welcomes you to become an etiquette teacher in the school.” Mother Tang said.
Li Songyun shook his head when he heard this, “I don’t want to be a teacher at the etiquette college. I participated in the construction of the Hope Primary School in the slums some time ago. That school has been built. I want to be a teacher there.”
“There. It’s in the slum, wouldn’t it be unsafe for you, an omega, to go there every day?” Mother Tang asked worriedly.
“I can be responsible for picking you up and dropping you off.” Jiao Jian suddenly said.
Everyone’s eyes fell on Jiao Jian, and everyone had different expressions, especially Mother Tang, whose spirit of gossip was burning.
Li Songyun declined politely: “No, this is too much trouble for you.”
“No trouble. The security issues in the slums need to be rectified by the military. The First Star Group will send people to the slums to maintain order in a while. I am preparing to make a report to the organization, and to apply for job transfer,” Jiao Jian said without blinking.
Grandpa Tang calmly took a sip of hot tea. He had just asked the military to send people to the slums to maintain order after hearing some suggestions from Xie Ruheng. Jiao Jian was also there at the time, but he did not show any intention of transferring to the slums.
“Even so, it’s inconvenient for you to pick me up and drop me off every day.” Li Songyun shook his head and wanted to refuse again.
“Brother, don’t you want to buy a new house?” Jiao Jian said: “I have been stationed at the border before and have not bought a house here yet. Why don’t you and I buy a house in the same community? It will be convenient to take care of each other. I haven’t eaten the food cooked by you for a long time.”
Li Songyun hesitated, “This…” In any case, Jiao Jian was an alpha. If he was picked up and dropped off by Jiao Jian every day after his divorce, the rumors from the outside world would affect the two of them, and the impact would not be good.
“If Mr. Li wants to go to Hope Primary School to teach, the school will arrange a school bus to pick him up.” Bai Zhi came to Li Songyun’s rescue.
“That’s great.” Li Songyun smiled.
Jiao Jian: “…” Can’t laugh.
“I originally wanted to recommend Uncle Li to live broadcast, just like I do to live broadcast cooking food. Uncle Li, your cooking skills are so good, and you are also very good at body management and etiquette. There is a lot of content you can live broadcast.” Tang Bai happily took another bite of the cake, like a satisfied little hamster.
He was just talking casually, but Li Songyun suddenly fell into deep thought. “Live broadcasting…”
Li Songyun never considered a career like a live broadcaster in the past. The idea that omegas were not suitable for such a public appearance ran through the first half of his life. But this concept changed when he saw Tang Bai’s live broadcast. He liked watching Tang Bai’s live broadcast. At the moment when he was most embarrassed and seemed to be shaken, he drew strength and warmth from Tang Bai’s live broadcast. So could he pass on this positive energy in this way?
Tang Bai slowed down his chewing speed and looked at Li Songyun with wide eyes. The two looked at each other and understood each other’s meaning. “Uncle Li, if you want to do a live broadcast, I’m good at this!” Tang Bai patted his chest enthusiastically, “I’ll take you flying!”
….
“Uncle Li, your Xingwang account has 10,000 followers Eh.” Tang Bai looked at Li Songyun’s Xingwang account and found that Li Songyun had previously posted a video of a glandular makeup relay. Most of the fans of this account followed Li Songyun because of his identity as Mrs. Gu. Some fans had even sent private messages asking Li Songyun what standards he had for his daughter-in-law and how they could marry into the Gu family.
“Everyone is very interested in things like marrying into a wealthy family. If you, Uncle Li, start a broadcast with a title like “How to marry into a wealthy family,” you can definitely trick a large number of people into coming in.” Tang Bai selflessly imparted his experience in headline-making.
Li Songyun hesitated and said: “After Gu Mian and I divorce, I will have nothing to do with the Gu family. It’s not good to use the Gu family as a gimmick.”
“Uncle Li…don’t you think it’s a shame for you to do this? Your plan was to leave the house, but now for the sake of the reputation of the Gu family, you would rather let the huge traffic go unused.”
Tang Bai felt sorry for Li Songyun when he thought about it. He didn’t know Gu Mian, but he must be almost as stupid as the previous Gu Tunan. He lived with such an idiot for twenty-six years, gave birth to four children for him, and finally chose to leave the house on his own with just custody rights. Didn’t it sound grand?
But this just sounded like it. In fact, it was not good at all.
If Li Songyun wanted to take the live broadcast route, he would face all kinds of rumors. Some people would definitely say that Li Songyun was an abandoned husband of a wealthy family and blame Li Songyun for the divorce.
This society was not friendly to divorced omegas at all, not to mention that Li Songyun also gave birth to four children. The only advantage of these rumors was that they could bring huge attention. If it was Tang Bai, if he did not use these rumor’s value until he squeezed them dry, he would call himself a fool.
But he was him, and Li Songyun was Li Songyun. They were different after all.
Life had molded Li Songyun into a clay Bodhisattva. Even if he could not protect himself, he still had compassion.
“Ding dong~” The light brain’s message prompt sounded. Tang Bai glanced at it and saw that it was a video message from Gu Peifeng.
Gu Peifeng first called Brother Tang Bai, and then asked cautiously: “Little dad, will you go home today?”
Li Songyun said softly: “Little dad won’t go home today, have you eaten? Did you finish your homework seriously?”
“I ate, but my father didn’t eat. Aunt Wang said that my father was waiting for you to come home for dinner.” Gu Peifeng said eagerly, “Dad, I’m very good now. I’ve done all my homework. Dad, can you come back early and let’s have dinner together?”
After hearing that Gu Mian came home, the smile on Li Songyun’s face faded, “Xiao Feng, dear, I want to divorce your father. From now on, he and I will no longer be a family, naturally we won’t sit together to eat together.”
Gu Peifeng didn’t know why, but suddenly he was almost like he was going to cry. When he heard what his little dad said, tears flowed out instantly, and he blurted out: “Don’t get divorced, little dad! Is it okay to not get a divorce?”
Li Songyun knew that besides Mother Li, someone must have said something else to Gu Peifeng, otherwise the child would not be so frightened.
“Xiao Feng, I won’t let you go. After the divorce, Gu Mian and I will no longer be a family, but you are still Gu Mian’s child…” Li Songyun comforted patiently, but Gu Peifeng on the light screen cried until he hiccupped, then he sobbed and said: “I don’t want to just live with my little dad.”
Li Songyun was stunned for a moment, “Xiao Feng, you don’t want to live with me?”
“I want to live with you. If you want a divorce, little dad, then I’ll just live with my father.” After Gu Peifeng said this, he regretted it when he saw his little father’s eyes. He didn’t know what to do and could only continue to cry: “Little father, you don’t get a divorce…”
Tang Bai held his breath and looked at Li Songyun’s pale and calm face at the moment. The person on the other end of the communication line was crying loudly and willfully, but Li Songyun’s eyes seemed to be crying silently.
“Gu Peifeng, you are in elementary school now, right?” Tang Bai said to the crying child on the other side of the screen: “You are no longer a child who doesn’t understand anything, so brother wants to say a few words to you, which Brother thinks you should understand.”
Gu Peifeng looked at Tang Bai with tears in his eyes.
“Brother knows that you are afraid of losing this happy family, but you have to understand that when there is no relationship between your little daddy and your father, then this family will only be an empty shell.”
“You want to pursue a perfect home, your little dad also wants to pursue a better life, he will also cry, he is not indestructible, your words can easily hurt him, because he loves you, and your words remove the love for you in his heart and turns into a blade.”
“Do you really want to see your little dad crying at home every day and being depressed?”
Gu Peifeng shook his head desperately, crying with snot and tears, “No.”
“Even if your little daddy and father divorce, they will still love you. You don’t have to be afraid of being abandoned, because they will continue to accompany you to grow up.” Tang Bai said softly: “Do you have a tissue? Wipe your tears yourself. And blow your nose, okay?”
Gu Peifeng obediently wiped his tears and blew his nose.
Tang Bai continued: “Now tell your little daddy, little daddy, I love you.”
Gu Peifeng said with a heavy nasal voice: “Little daddy, I love you.”
Li Songyun looked at Gu Peifeng and had thousands of thoughts in his heart at this moment. In fact, he had never considered that Gu Peifeng would refuse to live with him before.
Because this child was raised by him in a widowed marriage, he gave birth to this child and worried about the child’s food, clothing, housing, transportation, education and health all by himself. The Gu family did not value betas, and he was worried that the child would not receive full love from the Gu family. So he wanted to fight for the custody of this child.
But if you think about it carefully, he actually made the decision for the child on his own initiative.
If this child decided to live with Gu Mian, he could accept it.
“I love you too.” Li Songyun said softly: “Go and have a good sleep. You have to go to class tomorrow.”
After the video communication, Li Songyun said to Tang Bai: “Tangtang, thank you.”
Tang Bai reached out and hugged him hard. After holding Li Songyun for a long time, his shoulders were wet with tears.
