"Eight o'clock, I was wrong. "I'm just afraid that you'll divorce Zi Yin. You said that Zi Yin did something stupid and wrong. He's still young and might wake up someday. If he wakes up and sees that his wife is gone, how sad do you think he'll be …" The old granny on the other side of the phone spoke in a teary voice.

"Mom." I called out "mom," feeling unspeakably sad, "I called you mom, shouldn't you do that kind of thing. Is there anyone in this world that can tease a daughter-in-law like that? I understand that you love your own son, but have you thought about why I divorced Xu Ziyin? Isn't it because he betrayed me? I saw him cheating with Little San right in front of me.

"Eight o'clock, I know that Ziyin is wrong, can you forgive him this time? Eight o'clock, Mom is begging you! " The old granny was on the other side of the phone, speaking pitifully.

I knew I couldn't explain it to her, so I hung up.

"Your mother-in-law still won't let you get divorced, right?" Zhao Duo pushed the quilt away and stared at me.

"Yeah, but I have to get out of this marriage. I can't forgive Xu Ziyin for cheating. I can pay off the debt he owed me, but the marriage can't go on. " I looked at Zhao Duo and sighed. "If you can't sleep, then go out and take a walk. Lying at home is also very depressing."

"It's fine. Go and busy yourself with your work." As she spoke, Zhao Duo pulled the blanket up and covered her head.

I knew that although she didn't say anything, she was not feeling well.

"Alright then, you can sleep at home." I picked up my handbag and headed out.

I found Muk Tsinghua, got him to help me write a divorce suit, and gave it to the court.

The court needs to verify the situation before it can be decided, so I'm going back.

Instead of going back to Zhao Duo's house, I went to the restaurant.

I think the divorce can be decided by a court check, so from now on I'm going to put all my energy into my work.

At Lin Yufan's place, I don't know why, but I sometimes think of him by accident. I think of his face or the scene where we were together …

I knew in my heart that we were in a relationship between the boss and the contractor, and that in my current condition, hard work was the reality.

I resisted the urge to think about him and put all my energy into my work.

I put away the previous account book and called the former staff one by one. Those who wanted to come back to work, those who didn't want to come back, and those who didn't.

There was a Master Liu Da, who was once the head of our family's restaurant. His ancestors were cooks at the court, so from generation to generation, he was able to cook many palace dishes.

Although this restaurant didn't have any signboard for court dishes in the past, I thought for a bit. After all, those who like to eat court food have drank too much, and the skills of the court food has gradually disappeared, so the number of people who attend the banquet is becoming fewer and fewer.

After thinking about it, I decided to change the way I run the restaurant. I focused on cooking at the palace, but unfortunately, Master Liu Da didn't agree to come back.

I can't lose Master Liu Da, because a restaurant is especially important, or even determines the quality of the restaurant business.

I called Liu Da and begged him to come back.

I was on the phone to Liu Da's master when my mother-in-law and Xu Zicheng came back.

When Xu Zicheng saw me, he felt somewhat guilty and deliberately turned his head away.

As for Grandma, in front of a few of the staff members who just returned, she kneels down right in front of me.

"Mom, what are you doing?!" I looked at my mother-in-law, really angry and anxious. I called her mother, but I was already used to it. If I thought about what she did last night, I really shouldn't have called her that.

"Eight o'clock, since you still call me Mama, I beg you, for my age of sixty, for the fact that you and Zi Yin have lived for two years, don't divorce him!" I reached out to pull Grandma up, but she stopped me with her elbow and remained kneeling there. "Eight o'clock, I've thought about it, if Ziyin is like this all his life, I won't let you stay, and that wouldn't be fair to you. What do you think? You wait for Ziyin for three years. If he doesn't wake up within those three years, can you divorce him again? "

"Mom, what should I tell you? If not for Xu Ziyin's betrayal, I would have been able to serve him for the rest of my life, let alone for three years. But now, my heart has been completely broken, and whether he can wake up or not, I must divorce him. " I looked at my mother-in-law and said firmly.

"Eight o'clock in the morning." "Don't say you're so innocent. Other people don't know about the medicine you took last night, but I do know about it. Lin Yufan carried you away, so you know what happened. We don't care about these things, as long as you don't get a divorce. " Xu Zicheng looked at me and hummed.

"Xu Zicheng, just you wait. I'll deal with you about this sooner or later!" I looked at Xu Zicheng and thought about what happened last night when she took Zhao Duo away. I also thought that it might have been my mom's idea to make me and that Xiao Jian, but the matter with the medicine must have been definitely Xu Zicheng's idea.

"Who you're dealing with is your business, I want to deal with you right now." As I said this, a tall, slim, dainty, stylish, heavily made-up woman came to me.

I was standing in front of the counter, helpless against my mother-in-law, who was kneeling on the floor.

The woman walked right up to me and looked at me sharply.

"Who are you? I don't know you. " I looked at the woman and for a moment, I didn't know who she was. I had already paid compensation to the deceased and the injured to their families, but He Jia's sister had seen it before, it definitely wasn't that person, then who was it?

Looking at her beautiful face and the pride in her voice, I suddenly understood.

"Gu Yifei." Have you ever heard of that name? " The woman looked at me, squinting, staring at me.

I hesitated and shook my head.

"If you don't know, let me tell you, I'm Lin Yufan's fiancee." Gu Yifei looked at me and said condescendingly.

I looked at Gu Yifei, feeling a little uneasy.

At this time, Xu Zicheng had already pulled his mother-in-law up.

She sensed that the woman must have something on her mind. She pulled her mother to her feet and the two of them watched.

Gu Yifei looked at me, then looked at Xu Zicheng and the waiter beside him, "All of you go back to your work, I have something to say to your manager."

The waiters went off to do their own business after hearing Gu Yifei's words.

Gu Yifei turned to look at me. "What's your name?"

"Eight o'clock." I looked at Gu Yifei as I replied.

"Eight o'clock..." Heh, what an interesting name. This Ms. Liu Eight will be the contractor for this restaurant from now on. You can just call her Manager Liu. " Gu Yifei said as he walked in front of my mother-in-law and Xu Zicheng, "You don't want them to get a divorce, so just kneeling down is not a solution. You have to slowly reason with them, single women aren't easy, especially widows.

"That's right," Grandma looked at Gu Yifei, nodded vigorously, and ran over to advise me, "Eight o'clock, did you hear that? It's not easy being a widow! "Don't blame Ziyin, he was just confused for a moment …"

"Mom, I'll say it again. Even if I have to repay him with the debt he owed me, I must leave this marriage." I looked at my mother-in-law and Xu Zicheng, "You guys go back first, it's useless sticking to me like this."

"Eight o'clock, think about it …" Grandma pulled at me, trying to stick to me.

Xu Zicheng tugged on her hand, "Mom, let's go back first. There's so many people. Sister-in-law, come home tonight. Let's sit down and have a nice chat. "

"I will never go back to that house. You can go back." I looked at them and spoke lightly.

When Xu Ziyin betrayed me, they came home and cleaned up the scene. When I was burdened with debts and couldn't breathe, they couldn't even see me. Now that I had paid my debt, they came to me and refused to let me divorce.

"Eight …" The mother-in-law was still not reconciled. Xu Zicheng called out "mom" and whispered something into the mother-in-law's ear. The two of them then turned around and walked away.

Gu Yifei looked at their backs and laughed.

I looked at Gu Yifei and didn't say anything.

Gu Yifei was the first to speak. "Yufan told me that he found you pitiful and impulsively bought your restaurant. Tell me, how do you plan on running this restaurant?"

I looked at Gu Yifei, thinking that he was Lin Yufan's girlfriend, but after all, they weren't married. Moreover, right now I don't know what Lin Yufan said to her, so I think it's better to speak less.

I smiled. "I haven't decided yet."

Gu Yifei nodded. "I don't think this restaurant has much investment in it, so let's just treat it as a joke."

Gu Yifei's words made it difficult for anyone to reply. I looked at her and let out a few hollow laughs, but didn't say anything.

Gu Yifei looked at me with a measuring gaze, sizing me up. "How old are you?"

"Twenty-two." I looked at Gu Yifei as I replied.

"Tsk tsk," Gu Yifei looked at me and shook his head. "You're already a widow at such a young age. I think it's better for you to stay with your husband. If he wakes up one day, he'll be grateful to you for the rest of his life."

"I don't need his thanks. The fate between us is gone. " I looked at Gu Yifei and lightly said.

"Do you have any plans after the divorce?" Gu Yifei looked at me and continued to ask.

"I haven't decided yet." I answered truthfully, "I owe you so much money, so I might as well pay my debt first."

Gu Yifei looked at me and nodded. "It won't be easy for a single divorced woman to get married. As the saying goes, widows have a lot of troubles in front of their door. I hope you can keep yourself clean and not run away from the rich …"
