Rebirth: 1977

The cruelty and brilliance in Xia Minglei's eyes slowly faded away as Xia Zijian spoke, and a look of fatigue appeared on his face.

He stared at the words on the papers, but it seemed as if he could see nothing through the papers.

With a solemn look in his eyes, he asked, "Zijian, are you really unwilling to forgive Yingying? Even if the evidence could have been fabricated by someone with ulterior motives?"

Xia Zijian's body relaxed slightly, and his attitude was firm: "I'm sorry, Xia Yingying may be a good daughter in your hearts, but she is definitely not a good match for me.

Before this incident happened, she had always been reluctant to go home. At that time, I was planning to give her some time to adjust, let her go to work after she returned home, and we could live a good life together.

But she didn't give me a chance. When she started doing business with the owner of a construction company, her heart had already been freed and she was becoming more and more wild.

I began to doubt this marriage and wanted to stick with it, but I felt confused.

Up to now, all the waiting, planning and anticipation have come to nothing.

You are also a man. If your wife has done something like this, would anyone be willing to tolerate and forgive her? Just pretend nothing happened?

Leader Xia, to be honest, even if I have to be single for the rest of my life, I will divorce her.”

Xia Zijian's tone was steady, powerful and resolute.

Ye Tianshui looked at the tea table in front of him silently. No one made tea for them today, even Xi Jun forgot about it.

The blurry and incomplete faces of several people were reflected on the glass coffee table.

Xia Minglei's eyes flickered: "No room for maneuver at all?"

"Yes, no more."

"After the divorce, are you planning to leave Pengcheng?" Xia Minglei asked suddenly.

Xia Zijian was slightly stunned, thinking of what Ye Tianshui said, it was not him who did anything wrong, why did he flee after the accident?

From a rational point of view, his work in Pengcheng is now going well, and he and Director Si Kong Kong are working in perfect harmony.

In terms of administrative level, after Pengcheng was promoted to a municipality directly under the central government, the same position level is one level higher than that in other cities.

Ye Tianshui reminded him: Good people should not go into politics.

His experience and qualifications, as well as his work skills and experience, are not enough to qualify him for a full-time position in a city.

"Can I exchange my signature for a condition?" Xia Minglei said in a very low voice, in a negotiating tone.

Xia Zijian looked at Ye Tianshui and saw him nod slightly, then he said:

"Yes, as long as you mention something that I can do."

Xia Minglei looked at Ye Tianshui, and then his eyes quickly passed over him:

"Zijian, I just want to discuss with you. Can you punish her for the sake of your relationship with Yingying? But you have to help me promise not to leak her information.

This will also reduce the negative impact on you.”

Xia Zijian was stunned. Their plan before coming here was to let Xia Yingying off the hook in exchange for a quiet divorce.

I didn't expect Xia Minglei to not want his daughter to be free? How could that be?

He used to love her so much.

"Leader Xia, is this your only condition? Will you agree to sign my divorce application?"

Xia Zijian asked doubtfully, while looking at Ye Tianshui.

Xia Minglei nodded and was silent for a while: "Of course, it would be best if her punishment could be reduced, or she could be given leniency outside the law and be handed over to our parents and brothers to educate her.

To be honest, Zijian, with my status, I naturally won't be implicated by a married daughter. At most, my colleagues will laugh at me for "not being able to educate my daughter well."

At my age, these false titles are dispensable.

Face, it doesn't matter if I lose a little face. In my position, there are not many people who are qualified to laugh at me.

It's just that Zijian, you are still young, and you might be affected by my useless daughter for no reason. Thinking of this, I feel regretful. "

Xia Minglei looked at his son-in-law with a heavy tone.

His words attracted Ye Tianshui's attention, and he knew in his heart that the old fox was starting to play the emotional card with his brother-in-law.

I couldn't help but sneer.

Xia Minglei continued according to his train of thought: "Thinking back then, when you and my daughter were dating, I saw that you had good character, so I agreed.

Who would have thought that you would have troubles just a few months after your marriage? "

Xia Zijian wanted to refute after hearing this. I met you once, and then it was because of what you said intentionally or unintentionally that I gradually came up with that idea.

Ye Tianshui glanced at him, and he didn't say anything.

"My daughter is young and ignorant, and she is stubborn and has committed an unforgivable mistake. Now, if I force you to stay together, it would be inhumane.

I agree to your divorce and apologize to you on behalf of Yingying. I hope you won't bear a grudge against her."

Xia Minglei's attitude changed 180 degrees and he became unusually humble.

Ye Tianshui clenched his fist and knocked on the desk a few times, and said calmly:

"Brother Zijian, Leader Xia has agreed to your and Xia Yingying's request for a divorce.

It's time to go to work. Hurry up and don't delay any longer. Give the divorce application form to Leader Xia to sign and then we can go.

Don’t delay the leadership’s work.”

In fact, the divorce application form was already in Xia Minglei's hand, and he just reminded him.

Obviously, Xia Minglei knew the saying "He who knows the current affairs is a hero". He knew that the matter had been settled, and Ye Tianshui and Xia Zijian's attitudes were firm and could not be changed. Forcing them to exonerate his daughter would violate organizational discipline.

Divorce is certain, so what if he doesn't agree? Discussing with him is giving him face.

There is another way, which is to file for divorce directly through the court. There is so much evidence against his daughter, and the final outcome will also be divorce.

Since the outcome cannot be changed, he might as well lower his posture, adopt a good attitude, and go with the flow so that the two sides don't have to break up.

After seeing all this clearly, Xia Minglei began to play the emotional card with Xia Zijian.

His relatives were not unknown people, and after weighing the pros and cons, the gains and losses were obvious.

Before Ye Tianshui and the others came, they had already discussed and decided not to hold Xia Yingying accountable.

As long as they get the divorce application signed by Xia Minglei on behalf of Xia Yingying, their goal will be achieved.

Punishing Xia Yingying would not help except to vent her anger.

There is no point in continuing to delay time, so it is better to give Xia Minglei some face.

"Master Ye, I'm sorry that you didn't get a good rest because of my good-for-nothing daughter.

I am so ashamed. "

Xia Minglei made peace with Ye Tianshui and apologized.

Ye Tianshui smiled faintly: "Leader Xia, you're welcome. My brother-in-law is the most heartbroken when something like this happens.

But don't worry, even if he and your daughter divorce, it will not affect the friendship between our two families.

We can't let outsiders laugh at us.

Therefore, I have discussed with Director Li of the Yangcheng Public Security Bureau and we will release your daughter secretly after some normal procedures are completed.

When the time comes, you can decide whether to transfer her job to a suburban county in the capital.

Several people who were with them will be sentenced. If their families knew that only your daughter was given lenient treatment, they would definitely feel unbalanced.

Therefore, please remind her to work hard and keep a low profile to avoid any more trouble."

Xia Minglei straightened his back immediately, and asked in surprise:

"Master Ye, do you mean that Yingying can really be exempted from punishment?"

"Yes, Leader Xia, please sign my brother-in-law's divorce application, and she can be released in two or three days.

When the time comes, let her return to Beijing directly from Yangcheng Railway Station.

Please ask a trustworthy person to accompany her home. As for her work, I am just giving you some advice.

You should understand what "making much trouble out of nothing" means, right? "

Those bastards must be bored to death, so they would do such a thing!

Xia Minglei finally understood that Ye Tianshui came with Xia Zijian just to get him to sign the divorce application!

Letting her daughter go home is the condition of the exchange.

Xia Minglei believed that having such a result was the greatest face Ye Tianshui had given him.

Xia Minglei does not have strong connections in the public security, procuratorial and judicial systems. If Ye Tianshui refuses to give him face, he can still force a divorce.

At this point, Xia Minglei is no longer qualified to say "disagree".

But he got a promise from Ye Tianshui that he would not affect the relationship between the two families in the future.

He then quickly signed and handed the application to Xia Zijian:

"Zijian, take it. Although our relationship as father-in-law and son-in-law no longer exists, I will still treat you as a junior and care for you.

It's Yingying who is unlucky."

A long sigh...

Xia Zijian and Ye Tianshui walked out of Xia Minglei's office, still feeling a little dizzy:

"Xiao Shui, he didn't even give me a hard time about my divorce? I was worried for nothing."
