Jin Yuanyuan's Top-Tier Life

Chapter 66 Advising someone to get a divorce?

Old Li, the famous matchmaker in Hangzhou, was pulled away halfway through by Jin Jia's father, Jin Jianguo. This was because Jin Jianguo had asked Old Li to look at Hu Liqiu's background and secretly conducted a background check, which confirmed Hu Liqiu's status as a son-in-law in Jin Jia's family.

Now that Hu Liqiu has gotten into so much trouble, Jin Jianguo naturally had to say something to Lao Li when he saw him.

The two talked until midnight. Seeing that Jin Yaya's restaurant was still open, they went in to drink and talk, and finally started arguing.

Uncle Long, who was keeping an eye on things in the store, called Jin Yuanyuan and asked if she could come over and mediate the fight. Jin Yuanyuan was exasperated because she was in the office doing accounts. After spending the afternoon with Zhang Dali, she couldn't delay her work, as she needed to deliver goods, reconcile accounts, and organize the warehouse tomorrow.

"Why should I help Jin Jianguo when he's arguing with someone?" Jin Yuanyuan was very unhappy.

"So you and Jin Jia have a pretty good relationship, right? You even take care of her kids." Uncle Long said quite seriously, "I think you two really do have a good relationship."

"...Why don't you call Jin Jia?"

"I didn't." Uncle Long was quite straightforward. "Yuanyuan, hurry up and come here. If these two old men start fighting, and it happens in Jin Yaya's place, we'll be responsible if there's any bloodshed."

"Sigh, I'll do it." Jin Yuanyuan was extremely unwilling. She had just returned to her office from Jin Yaya's restaurant and hadn't even sat down for half an hour, having only just begun to calculate the accounts, when she had to go back again.

It was 10:30 PM, and Lao Li and Jin Jianguo were still drinking, talking loudly with flushed faces. Uncle Long wiped his hands on his apron and came out to greet Jin Yuanyuan. "I couldn't make out what they were saying either, but those two were talking so loudly that I couldn't even finish watching my TV series."

"...Should I ask them to leave?"

"That's not necessarily true. I think they spent a lot on food and drinks. What if they order something else? It would be better to order stir-fried prawns. We still have a portion of prawns in the kitchen. If we don't cook them tonight, they'll go bad, and that wouldn't be good."

Jin Yuanyuan held her breath again and said, "Fine."

She and Uncle Long stood in the corner and quietly observed the two people again. Jin Yuanyuan listened carefully; they were actually talking about Hu Liqiu. Old Li believed that Hu Liqiu was a very good and outstanding young man, and Jin Jiaya's judgment back then was correct. The reason he had so many problems now must be because the pressure from the Jin family was too great for him to bear, which led to his infidelity and fraud. However, his relationship with Jin Jiaya was still good, and he couldn't bring himself to advise her to divorce him.

Jin Jianguo naturally denied that he had put too much pressure on Hu Liqiu. He believed that he had treated Hu Liqiu as his own son, and that Hu Liqiu would eventually take over the family business. How could Hu Liqiu do such a thing?

The two of them kept repeating the same few sentences, neither of them could convince the other, and as a result, their voices got louder and louder.

"Judging from this, there's not much chance that the two of them will make a move," Jin Yuanyuan analyzed quite seriously.

"When are we finished eating, paying the bill, and leaving? Your Aunt Long is still waiting for me at home." Uncle Long and Aunt Long are truly as loving as ever, even after all these decades.

"Go and stir-fry that plate of prawns, then go back," Jin Yuanyuan said with a grin. At this point, she would take over and finish things up.

Uncle Long's Typhoon Shelter-Style Fried Prawns were so delicious that even though Jin Yuanyuan wasn't hungry at all, she couldn't resist eating one before serving it to Jin Jianguo and Lao Li's table. She said with a smile, "Uncles, I'm Jin Yuanyuan. This is a special dish that our restaurant is giving you tonight."

"Yuanyuan!" Jin Jianguo's shout was quite loud, startling Jin Yuanyuan so much that her hand trembled. "Tell me, should Jin Jiaya get a divorce?"

"Jin Yuanyuan!" Old Li's voice was louder. After looking her up and down, he said, "Your mother asked me to find you a son-in-law. You look very handsome. Your Uncle Li will definitely find you the best one."

"Alright, you guys eat." Jin Yuanyuan rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Do you think we're arguing?" Jin Jianguo suddenly asked. "We were talking a little louder."

"It's nothing, you're just chatting." Jin Yuanyuan's smile was fake. "If we're really talking about arguing, you're no match for me, I'm number one."

"You can't do that. Our Jin Jia is number one. You're still young, you should learn from her." In Jin Jianguo's eyes, everything about Jin Jia is good.

"Oh, I've never seen her argue." Jin Yuanyuan thought for a moment, then pulled up a chair and sat down to eat shrimp with her two uncles.

"I only have one daughter. I thought about how hard her mother suffered when she gave birth to her, spending half a year in the hospital. So I didn't want her to suffer anymore. My daughter is really good." Jin Jianguo took a sip of wine and a bite of shrimp, smacking his lips. It seemed that the shrimp was really delicious.

Old Li also ate one, took a sip of wine, and smacked his lips.

Jin Yuanyuan grinned again.

"Jin Jia was beautiful and academically gifted when she was little. I planned to raise her like a little princess. Who knew she'd be so bold and ambitious? She wanted to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University and then go abroad to try her luck. But I couldn't bear to part with her!" Jin Jianguo glanced at Jin Yuanyuan. "Actually, you went abroad and came back, didn't you? What's so great about going abroad?"

"Uncle, you can't say that. It's nice to see the outside world." Jin Yuanyuan objected.

"What's so good about her? Being a good wife and mother is so much better!" Jin Jianguo, emboldened by the alcohol, raised his voice again. "Finding a man like this is such a hassle! Jin Yuanyuan, you should persuade Jin Jia to get a divorce. Anyway, both children have the Jin surname, so that brat won't be able to leave. We'll also pay off all his debts, then we'll be even, and never see him again!"

"This matter needs to be considered carefully. After all, they have two children. You also need to think about the children, especially the younger one, who is still quite young." Old Li shook his head.

"I get angry just looking at him!" Jin Jianguo roared, and the roof beams of Jin Yaya's restaurant shook.

"What's the use of getting angry?" Jin Yuanyuan was completely displeased. Was she going to throw a drunken tantrum on Jin Yaya's turf? No way! "Uncle Jin, is this your idea or Jin Jiaya's idea? Have you asked Jin Jiaya what she thinks? Does she want a divorce? What does she hope for in the future? After all, to put it bluntly, after you all pass away, it will be Jin Jiaya who has to live on. Whether she can live happily will all depend on her own efforts. You will all be long gone."

Oh no, I got a little carried away and said something inappropriate.

Jin Yuanyuan was a little flustered.
