The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

“Oh, forget it then.” Ye Yuwei lowered her eyes.

PA Wen took in a mouthful of beer—his hands held onto the handrail as he gazed into the distance.

“Do you know what my parents do for a living?” PA Wen suddenly asked.

Burning with curiosity, Ye Yuwei shook her head.

“My dad was a courier.” PA Wen put down the bottle in his hand and turned to look at Ye Yuwei as soon as he finished his words.

“My mom was a farmer and my dad was a courier in a small town.
My dad worked day and night to get me enrolled in college.
During my third year of college, a fire broke out at the courier store so a lot of parcels burned to the ground.
My dad was severely injured—hit by a large crowd that thronged the store, wanting to claim their parcels.
Not only that, we still have to pay the losses they suffered.” PA Wen lowered his head, his eyes turning red.

“And then?” Ye Yuwei was rooted to the spot in shock as she listened to PA Wen.

“Gu Enterprise was a profitable startup for about two years back then.
I was hired as CEO’s PA in the first batch of interns.” PA Wen chuckled in a low voice.

“CEO is not good in expressing himself.
After that fire, I was thinking to stop studying to earn money for my dad’s medical fees and repay the debts.
I was just twenty years old back then and had a great deal of self-esteem.
I even rejected CEO’s money.”

Ye Yuwei could imagine Gu Juexi’s ego when he wanted to lend PA Wen money.

“After that, my dad was discharged from the hospital because I had run out of money.
I found a job in a construction site after I completed my internship at Gu Enterprise.
I had no choice but to sell blood for money, just like what you did.
Guess what?” PA Wen said as he laughed.
