Chapter 402 I Was Blind When I Was Young
Wen Xin paused with the chopsticks in his hand and looked up at Tan Mu: "Do you know Chai Yuxuan?"
As soon as I said this, I felt my brain short-circuited. If he could remember me, he could also remember Chai Yuxuan.
Calculating the timeline, when his mother was sick, the two illegitimate children were born not long ago. Chai Yuxuan must have felt very guilty at that time.
At that time, I ran back and forth between the company and the hospital with her, and he played the role of a model son-in-law and affectionate husband to perfection.
So she was really touched at that time, and she was very tolerant of many of his problems later on.
"He was just put in jail at the beginning of the month for bigamy. His sentence is one year and ten months."
Tan Mu looked at her calmly as if she was talking about someone else's affairs. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, then quickly disappeared.
Wen Xin looked at Tan Mu's calm face and couldn't help but be curious: "Shouldn't you be shocked? Why are you so calm?"
Tan Mu's eyes were filled with smiles again:
"I actually wanted to ask you the same thing, why are you so calm? I have known Chai Yuxuan since our freshman year in high school. He ranked fifth in the grade in the entrance exam."
"Later, he had a big fight with Liu Yiyi. It's not surprising that he would do something like this. They say a child's character can be seen at the age of three."
Wen Xin glanced at him: "I feel like you are implying that I am blind."
The peach blossom eyes flew over, Tan Mu's pupils shrank, and he looked away uncomfortably to pick up the food.
"How dare I? Am I being too polite? Please forgive me."
Wen Xin sighed inwardly. In this life, they were still two almost strangers.
But as soon as she saw him, she couldn't help but want to tease him.
"You still know Liu Yiyi? She's so gossipy. Shouldn't a top student be oblivious to what's going on outside?"
Wen Xin didn't want to return to the situation of strangers, so he continued to talk about the topic to the end.
"It left such a deep impression. Didn't your cousin, Wen Xichen, also have some interactions with Liu Yiyi? Oh, it's such a pity for Wen Xichen. He might have had a chance to pass the sports special recruitment exam."
Wen Xin's heart began to churn: "You still know that Wen Xichen is my cousin, you were very close to Wen Xichen at that time?"
Tan Mu nodded and sighed:
"We often played basketball together in the first year of high school and had a good relationship. At that time, the two of us, plus a guy named Zhao Qingzhou, were known as the three basketball heroes."
Tan Mu recalled the past with a smile on his face.
"Alas, it's a pity that Wen Xichen later got involved with that Liu Yiyi, and in the end everyone went their separate ways."
"We were all watching when you were teaching Wen Xichen a lesson. It's a pity that you didn't pull him back."
Wen Xin listened quietly, his heart in turmoil.
That life really existed. The three basketball heroes, Wen Xichen, Zhao Qingzhou...
She really wanted to go back, back to the world where she, her parents, and Wen Xichen had never been hurt.
She missed her parents, but she wanted to talk to Wen even more.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a lump in my throat.
Tan Mu watched as a thin layer of mist covered the eyes of the woman opposite him, and suddenly he felt at a loss.
"I'm sorry, did I say something I shouldn't have said? These things are sad things, I shouldn't have mentioned them, I'm sorry."
As Tan Mu spoke, he took out a tissue and handed it over.
Wen Xin took it and wiped her tears, then looked up at Tan Mu: "It's okay, it's not your problem, I just suddenly became hypocritical."
Tan Mu looked at those moist peach blossom eyes and thought about the few times he had seen her. It seemed that her eyes were filled with tears many times.
"Wen Xin, you are a strong woman who has built such a big career, but you are still so fond of crying? I saw you several times and you were in tears."
"In high school, I beat Wen Xichen while crying, then your mother was hospitalized, and then you were hospitalized a few days ago..."
Wen Xin was amused.
"I haven't cried much since I grew up, and you saw most of them. It was really embarrassing. But I really should cry. Although I have a successful career in the past half of my life, my life is a mess."
Tan Mu poured Wen Xin a glass of juice and pushed it in front of her.
"Well, it's just that I met a scumbag. Who hasn't been blinded when they were young?"
Wen Xin raised his eyes suddenly: "Has Director Tan also been blind and met a scumbag?"
Tan Mu shook his head: "I'm not a scumbag, but I'm really blind and can't judge people well."
He looked at the gossipy gleam in the opposite eye and couldn't help laughing.
"I never met someone I liked, and then my parents got anxious and pushed me to get married. A colleague of mine happened to be pursuing me, and our director tried his best to bring us together. I felt like we were a good match, so we got married."
"After living together, we discovered that our values were different."
Wen Xin drank the juice and continued gossiping: "Tell me more specifically, why do your values differ?"
Tan Mu smiled helplessly: "For example, I had just become proficient in a few complex surgeries. She kept encouraging me to do flying knife."
He stopped and looked at Wen Xin, who nodded quickly:
"I know Fei.dao. It means you go to a small hospital to do surgery to earn extra money. The husband of a friend of mine is an ophthalmologist and earns hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in extra income."
Tan Mu sighed:
"At that time, doctors' salaries were not high, and she felt it was too hard, so she wanted me to do this. But this was contrary to my idea, so we parted ways after just half a year."
Wen Xin thought about the tall female doctor he saw that day, and couldn't help but say, "But I think she hasn't let you go yet."
Tan Mu looked at him with an extremely speechless look.
"It's been almost 20 years, there's nothing I can't let go of. It's just that she got divorced a few years ago, and she comes to harass me from time to time."
Wen Xin's eyes suddenly widened, and alarms began to sound all over his body.
"She wants to go back to her ex? What do you think?"
"What else can I say? I have nothing but disgust towards her."
Seeing that Tan Mu looked indifferent, Wen Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't just talk about me, talk about you, have you and Chai Yuxuan divorced?"
Wen Xin shook his head:
"We are dealing with various property issues. We are definitely getting a divorce. But just thinking about how even if this bastard is at fault, I will have to give him a lot of money makes me angry."
Tan Mu shook his head disapprovingly:
"Don't think like that. You should think about how nice it would be to be able to use money to get rid of the scum. Remember not to get entangled with bad people. It's not worth wasting yourself on them."
"You still have more than 30 years of life ahead of you, and your wonderful life has just begun."
Wen Xin nodded heavily. As expected, Tan Mu in this life was as knowledgeable about the world as he was in that life.
"Yes, the good life is coming up. Let's not talk about these bad things, let's talk about something happy."
People eat and chat at the same time, talking about all sorts of things under the sun, astronomy and geography, and they are in perfect harmony.
Before they knew it, it was already late at night. As soon as they walked to the door, they saw people paying the bill at the bar.
"Professor Meng, you are coming to eat too."
