Chapter 1162: Times have changed (5k! Asking for monthly votes!)_2

"Great! That’s straightforward!"

Zheng Baosen gave a thumbs-up, then picked up Wei Dongxu’s wine glass, "Yang Ni, pour another one."

He seemed even more affectionate to Yang Ni than her ex-husband.

Yang Ni, who had been standing all along, poured another glass and then sat down.

She sat down on either side of Zheng Baosen, flanking him to his left and to his right.

"Serve the dishes!"

After giving instructions to the waiter, Zheng Baosen looked at the silent Yang Ni and the equally reticent Wei Dongxu, then smiled, "What’s going on with you two? Not even greeting each other? Do you not recognize each other?"

"Baosen brother, you didn’t tell me there would be someone else."

Wei Dongxu spoke up.

"Does it matter?"

Zheng Baosen spoke as if it was nothing, "It’s said that it takes a hundred years of goodness to share the same boat, and a thousand to share the same pillow. I was happy when I attended your wedding, and you were both happy as well."

"Brother Baosen, that was years ago."

Yang Ni spoke, her tone could be considered calm and collected.

"Many years ago?"

Zheng Baosen was puzzled, truly a powerhouse actor, with superb and seasoned acting skills.

"Oh, I forgot, Ningning is already in elementary school, right?"

Wei Dongxu saw Pei Yunxi silently sitting next to his ex-wife Yang Ni.

He was initially surprised why Zheng Baosen, whom he seldom contacted, would suddenly invite him to dinner for no reason. The moment he entered the room, he understood what kind of setup tonight was.

Women indeed have their advantages.

"Brother Baosen, if you had told me earlier who I was having dinner with, I would have brought Ningning along and wouldn’t have been late."

This Gangcheng male star, who arguably had the least fame at the scene, smiled calmly throughout the affair, never mentioning Yang Ni by name, nor did he make any sarcastic comments, but his words still sounded rather harsh.

Perhaps it was because Zheng Baosen was there, Yang Ni, who was being obstructed by all means and had to sneak around to see her daughter, also remained calm and didn’t expose his hypocrisy.

"It’s okay not to bring children, they need to rest at night. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Zheng Baosen said cheerfully.

"Brother Baosen, let’s have a drink."

Yang Ni, moved, took the initiative to raise her glass.

Zheng Baosen might have some issues with his personality, but at least he’s someone you can count on, lending a hand so quickly.

The sacrifices made before were indeed worth it.

"Hmm... come on, let’s drink."

Zheng Baosen was surprised by Yang Ni’s initiative to toast, but he quickly responded, clinking glasses with her smugly in front of Wei Dongxu.

Wei Dongxu turned a blind eye.

In the entertainment industry, if you can’t handle such scenes, you might as well retire early.

In the entertainment circle, how many married couples, for the sake of art, have to act intimately with others on the screen?

Yang Ni felt Zheng Baosen’s sincerity.

Zheng Baosen equally felt Yang Ni’s gratitude. After putting down his glass, he grandiosely said: "It’s normal for a couple to quarrel and make noise. If you’re unhappy together, it’s fine to separate, but kids are innocent, right? Dongxu, you not letting Yang Ni see the child, that’s where you’re wrong. Children also need their mommy’s love."

Those were words someone with insufficient status dared not utter.

But what was Zheng Baosen’s stature in Gangcheng?

So Wei Dongxu simply kept silent.

The waiter began to serve the dishes.

"Yun Xi, go ahead and eat."

Zheng Baosen, the host, did it authentically, not neglecting anyone.

"Dongxu, I’ve known your dad for a long time too. It’s not something I should interfere with, but since I know about it, I can’t pretend to be ignorant."

While picking up his chopsticks, Zheng Baosen said, "Looking at you and Yang Ni, it doesn’t seem like you have that much conflict. If it really comes to a lawsuit, it’s not just about making everyone laugh, it would also be very bad for the child. You both understand this, right?"

"Brother Baosen, I’m not the one who wants to go to court."

Wei Dongxu spoke up.

"Of course you’re not the one who wants to go to court, since the child is in your custody," Zheng Baosen was fair, "When you guys divorced, Yang Ni didn’t fight with you. Was it because she couldn’t? It was just because she didn’t want to. Plus, you had already agreed that she could visit the child regularly. How can you go back on your word now?"

"And you even have the child call her ’auntie’, Dongxu, that’s too much."

"I did it for her own good. Without Ningning, it’s only beneficial for her – she would be freer."

Wei Dongxu deliberately avoided looking directly at Yang Ni from the beginning to the end, referring to her only as "she."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ni’s face tightened, and just as she was about to speak, Zheng Baosen grabbed her hand and... squeezed it.

Yang Ni frowned slightly, but out of respect for the fact that he was helping at the moment, she did not withdraw her hand.

Zheng Baosen openly held Yang Ni’s hand on the table, while saying to Wei Dongxu, "That’s not right. Dongxu, how can you say that about a mother? Do you know how important a child is to a mother? It might be her life."

Wei Dongxu wasn’t blind and obviously saw their "intimate" behavior.

Although in the circle, some people feel it’s pointless to fuss over such things.

But he was different.

He still held some traditional masculine values, otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended his marriage so quickly after just a few years.

"I promised that she could regularly see the child, but that was just my own promise. Now it’s the child herself who does not want to see her."

This statement seemed a bit thoughtless.

Such a small child, what would she understand?

Clearly, these were words spoken in anger.

"Nonsense. As long as you don’t interfere with my visits to Ningning, if she truly doesn’t want to see me, dislikes me, I promise I’ll never appear before her again, nor will I disturb you."
