"I’m fine." Fang Pingying hadn’t seen Luo Zhiyong for a long time. To say she didn’t miss him at all would be a lie. After all, they were still lovingly together the day before, and then separated the next. Even as she kept convincing herself to adapt, emotionally, she simply couldn’t accept it so quickly. Upon hearing Luo Zhiyong’s voice on the phone, she inevitably felt melancholic. After waiting for a while, she remembered the purpose of her call and hastily said, "I called you to ask you to go look for Guangsheng. He’s gone to settle scores with Bai Jing, and Fang Xiu is worried something might happen to her." Luo Zhiyong was clueless about the situation and was very puzzled, "What’s he going to Bai Jing for?" Fang Pingying also didn’t know how to explain, so she simply said, "It’s a long story; do you know where Bai Jing’s parents’ house is? Go there and look for Zhou Guangsheng." Luo Zhiyong was not familiar with Bai Jing and had no idea where her parents lived. But upon hearing the urgency in Fang Pingying’s voice over the phone, he thought that he should be able to find out, so he said, "Okay, leave this to me. I’ll go look for him."

Meanwhile, Fang Xiu had been listening all along without hearing Fang Pingying mention any names on the phone, but the tone sounded extremely familiar. She was curious, "Big sister, who were you talking to? The voice on the phone sounded like your husband’s." Fang Pingying glanced at Fang Xiu and lightly nodded, "It was him." Surprised, Fang Xiu’s jaw dropped, "Ah, brother-in-law is back from outside? Why didn’t he come home?" Previously, they had agreed on a story to say that Luo Zhiyong had gone on a business trip and wouldn’t be back anytime soon. The family hadn’t noticed anything amiss. Fang Pingying knew that sooner or later the family would find out, so she didn’t hide it from Fang Xiu. Seeing that Yu’er was temporarily away, she directly told Fang Xiu, "Your brother-in-law and I have separated. We’re preparing to get divorced." Fang Xiu was clearly shocked by the word ’divorce,’ and cried out loud, "Divorce?" Fang Pingying patted her and said in a low voice, "Keep your voice down. Don’t let everyone know. If our parents hear about this, they will start asking endless questions." Fang Xiu nodded, still in shock. In their view, Luo Zhiyong and Fang Pingying’s relationship had always been good. Except for the troubles from the Luo Family, it wasn’t enough to lead to divorce. Once Fang Xiu had fully absorbed the news, she asked in confusion, "Big sister, why do you want a divorce if you’re okay with your husband?" Fang Pingying didn’t know how to explain that a single day’s cold is not enough to freeze three feet of ice. But Fang Xiu understood their situation well. After thinking for a moment, she realized the reason and sighed, "I see, it’s not really okay; it must be because of all the trouble with the Luo Family. Your husband must want to repay Luo Zhiming’s debt again, right?" Fang Pingying was silent for a moment before nodding her head, "It does have to do with that, but it’s not just because of this." Having experienced the people and matters of the Luo Family firsthand, Fang Xiu thought she would have divorced long ago. She completely understood Fang Pingying’s decision and said nothing more, just sighed longingly, "Ah, it’s the Luo Family causing this trouble. Because of their issues, you and your husband can’t get along." After a pause, she looked at Fang Pingying and said, "Actually, when dad and mom chat at home, they worry about you two as well. They say they don’t know how long you’ll be dragged down by the Luo Family, as there’s always trouble there every few days." Actually, the whole extended family, including Li Aihua’s side, knew about these matters. At this moment, Fang Pingying felt she had married into the wrong family and was troubled along with her family. Fortunately, she was now free, although the formalities were not yet completed. She said to Fang Xiu, "Don’t tell mom and dad about this for now, to save them the worry. I’ll tell them after the divorce is official." Fang Xiu nodded, but after a moment, she was worried for Fang Pingying and asked softly, "Big sister, have you thought it over? A woman who is divorced is no longer valued, and you also have two children. It might be hard to find someone in the future." Fang Pingying hadn’t thought about the future at all. She simply said, "After I divorce, I’m not planning to find someone else. I’ll just live with my children; it’s not like I can’t make it on my own." "Ah," Fang Xiu sighed for what seemed like the umpteenth time. She wanted to persuade further, but thinking it over, she hesitated, wondering if speaking up would do more harm than good. She waved her hand in frustration and said, "Never mind, I won’t say more. Regardless, no one’s going to have an easy life marrying into the Luo Family. Maybe it’s better to leave sooner." On the other end, Luo Zhiyong had called Zhao Longsheng and obtained Bai Jing’s parent’s address through Doctor Zhou. He went there directly. When he arrived, he happened to bump into Zhou Guangsheng. Surprised to see Luo Zhiyong all of a sudden, Zhou Guangsheng was momentarily stunned. "Zhiyong, how come you’re here?" Luo Zhiyong explained to him, "Fang Xiu was worried about you, so she had Pingying call me to check on you." Hearing Fang Xiu’s name, a gentle look flashed across Zhou Guangsheng’s face. He was in a hurry to go to Bai Jing’s house and pointed to the entrance, saying, "You wait here for me; I’m going to see Bai Jing." Luo Zhiyong had run all the way without knowing what had happened. He reached out to hold him, frowning and asking, "What on earth is going on?" Zhou Guangsheng briefly explained to Luo Zhiyong about Bai Jing’s pregnancy and the arrival of the old lady, and Luo Zhiyong, deeply aggrieved by his own family’s actions, knew that if the matter wasn’t completely resolved, it might threaten the relationship between Zhou Guangsheng and Fang Xiu. He advised Zhou Guangsheng, "You have to handle this matter well; otherwise, it could stand in the way between you and Fang Xiu. When you see Bai Jing, be firm; don’t waver." Zhou Guangsheng had come in anger; Bai Jing had been so outrageous, and he never planned to show her any kindness. After nodding in agreement, he went to knock on Bai Jing’s family’s door, and it was Bai Jing’s mother who opened it. Seeing Zhou Guangsheng, Bai Jing’s mother showed a complicated expression but didn’t say much, just called into the house, "Xiao Jing, Guangsheng is here." Upon hearing Zhou Guangsheng’s name, Bai Jing became agitated. She ran out from inside while calling out, "Guangsheng, did you see my mother?" Zhou Guangsheng’s gaze lingered briefly on Bai Jing’s swollen belly, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. Then he looked at her impatiently, "Bai Jing, what are you really thinking? Is it fun to deliberately ruin someone’s life?" Bai Jing was no longer the proud and haughty figure in front of Zhou Guangsheng, who always seemed to look down on him. She glanced at Zhou Guangsheng with a bit of grievance, her posture subdued. She tried to reach forward and grab Zhou Guangsheng’s hand, speaking in a soft voice, "I’m not trying to ruin you. I still love you. I want to be with you."
