Chapter 822: Chapter 432: Accident and Continuation

Sometimes Li Peifeng truly wished he weren’t human, but an alien being. Although his modified body rarely experienced negative emotions, it didn’t mean he was devoid of them. On both physical and spiritual levels, he hadn’t escaped the realm of humanity.

Unfortunately, the emotional turmoil stirred by the chemicals or hormones secreted by the human body is both the ladder of human evolution and the meaning of existence, yet it also directly leads to the three great tragedies of human fate: happiness is fleeting, hatred is irreconcilable, and love will eventually wither.

These emotional fluctuations fill human life with change and challenge. Countless classic artistic works from both home and abroad in human history seem to be endlessly expressing these three points in different forms, revealing the complexity of humanity and the impermanence of fate through art.

Even in reality, Li Peifeng couldn’t escape this cycle…

On October 6th, Li Peifeng returned to the Capital. Huang Tianxuan and her son remained in Hangzhou for work, while Yu Huizhi and Li Qiyuan were too ashamed to return to Beijing to face their eldest daughter-in-law and hurried back to Ningyuan to take care of the child.

Therefore, Li Peifeng could only face Zhao Qingge alone. He rolled around, acted shamelessly, admitted his mistakes, begged and negotiated every possible way, but in the end, he only managed to secure a relatively decent outcome.

Zhao Qingge wanted Li Peifeng to go with her to the civil affairs bureau to process the divorce the next day, the first working day after National Day. Henceforth, they would live separately, with Zhao Qingge taking the child back to her old residence.

The so-called decency lay in Zhao Qingge agreeing to withdraw the divorce lawsuit, not changing Li Weiyi’s surname, and not telling both families about the divorce.

“Thirty days of cooling-off period, after thirty days, come and apply again on a working day. If you don’t come, it will be regarded as withdrawal of the divorce registration application. Alright, you may go home now.”

The staff member’s words gave Li Peifeng a glimmer of hope at that moment. He believed that with this thirty-day cooling-off period as a buffer, if he worked hard during this period to win her back, Zhao Qingge’s attitude might soften.

The situation indeed developed as he anticipated. Huang Tianxuan stayed in Hangzhou to oversee the investment attraction work for Hezhi. Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning did not interfere, allowing him to visit Zhao Qingge’s home rain or shine, shamelessly continuing to act as a husband and father, slowly starting his attempts to win Zhao Qingge back.

After half a month, Zhao Duoduo was already subtly influenced. It seemed that if he persisted for another half month, she would surely relent, but then came the unforeseen…

It was a very ordinary morning, bright and clear with a refreshing autumn breeze. Li Peifeng had just arrived at Zhao Qingge’s home, planning to cook for her and the child as usual. Upon opening the door, he saw Zhao Haiqi and Li Xin sitting in the living room with stern faces, while Zhao Qingge stood aside, holding the child and smiling at him, a smile that made him uneasy.

“Li Peifeng, can you explain Huang Tianxuan to us?”

Zhao Haiqi, with a face like water, said each word forcedly: “Although we already know, we still want to hear it directly from you.”

Li Xin glanced at Zhao Qingge and the child in her arms, saying coldly: “Let’s talk outside. Since they have already filed for divorce, this person isn’t qualified to step into the daughter’s house even a step.”

“Clang~”

The bag in Li Peifeng’s hand fell to the ground, vegetables scattered everywhere.

Zhao Haiqi and Li Xin eventually learned about the wedding between him and Huang Tianxuan on National Day, not from Zhao Qingge’s mouth, but rather through a chance encounter with a guest at the event.

The person was not a mutual friend of the Zhao and Huang families but a friend of Mr. and Mrs. Huang’s friends, who coincidentally were friends of Mr. and Mrs. Zhao.

Because this person was deeply impressed by Li Peifeng’s extraordinary presence and couldn’t forget it for a long time, during a mealtime chat after attending the wedding, he casually mentioned over a conversation with friends, “I’ve never seen such a handsome groom.” Mr. and Mrs. Zhao’s friend was present, listening for a while before responding with disdain.

You talk too much; your taste is just so-so. How handsome can he be? Let me tell you, the groom at the last wedding I attended was what you’d call handsome.

The Huang family’s friend insisted, directly pulling out a photo; “Take a good look, open your eyes, is he handsome or not?”

Tsk, indeed he’s handsome. The last time I saw such a handsome groom was…Hmm? No, he looks familiar!

The Zhao family’s friends were puzzled. What’s this groom’s name? Li Peifeng? Sounds familiar. What does he do?

The Huang family friend pondered and replied: “He seems to be a writer?”

The Zhao family friend widened their eyes: “Got it! I definitely saw him somewhere, but where? Ah, it was another recent wedding I attended!”

The same person at two weddings? That can’t be right; let me confirm, whose daughter’s wedding was it that I attended before…

Six Degrees of Separation Theory; you can get to know any stranger in the world through a maximum of five people, whether it’s a beggar or the Mei Country president!

Murphy’s Law; if something has the potential to go wrong, no matter how small the probability, it will happen!

At this moment, these two theories were vividly demonstrated!

Li Peifeng never intended to keep the parents of the involved women completely in the dark, because the likelihood was extremely low, but even more so, he didn’t expect Mr. and Mrs. Zhao to find out about this matter just as Zhao Qingge was about to soften and reconsider the divorce.

This rendered his efforts in the first half of the month useless; under the pressure of the family, the divorce proceedings between him and Old Zhao had to be implemented!
