Chapter 399: Chapter 397 He Deserves It_1

Lu Tingli saw her curiosity, so he reached out and held her soft hand, "Let’s go take a look."

Tao Tao also followed immediately.

When Xia Ningxing saw the content on the bulletin board, she raised her eyebrows slightly before turning to look at Tao Tao.

It was about a work-related problem with Tao Tao’s ex-husband, Yu Heng.

The bulletin board detailed his punishment.

Tao Tao saw it too and instinctively read it out loud, "... Yu Heng of research group three, due to non-compliance with operational rules leading to the destruction of the laboratory, and causing himself to become a double amputee of the lower body, is hereby given a dismissal warning and must compensate the laboratory a sum of over five hundred thousand yuan. It is hoped that all research personnel in the institute take this as a warning and treat every research task with sincerity and strictness!!!"

Since this incident was entirely Yu Heng’s own fault for not following procedures, it was not considered a work-related injury, and the institute did not have to take any responsibility for him.

On the contrary, he now had to pay for the losses he caused to the institute.

A full five hundred thousand yuan!

With his current salary, that amount would be enough to repay for half his lifetime!

Tao Tao couldn’t help but feel like laughing, "Xiaxia, do you think this is karma?"

"Abandoning his wife and daughter, he deserves it!" Xia Ningxing’s face showed no trace of sympathy.

Although it was Tao Tao who initiated the divorce, Yu Heng had already given up on Taozi even before that.

As for the daughter, there was even less to say. From the start, Yu Heng and his mother despised her so much, and after the divorce, they never even came to see her once. How was this any different from abandonment?

Tao Tao took a deep breath, silently encouraging herself to forget all of the past and to start a new life.

"Taozi, you’re back!" A colleague from the opera company who saw Tao Tao quickly warmly grabbed her hand to check in on her.

After chatting for a while, the topic veered back to Yu Heng.

"Taozi, it’s a good thing you divorced that guy Yu Heng, otherwise that sum of over fifty thousand would have been enough to repay for a lifetime!"

"Isn’t that the truth!"

"But Yu Heng is quite unlucky too, getting himself into such a sorry state."

"You still feel sorry for him? Let me tell you, when Taozi was giving birth in the hospital, I heard he only cared about the newborn, completely ignoring whether Taozi lived or died!"

"How can someone be like that! He deserves what he has become now!"

"I’ve also heard that old lady from the Yu family, upon learning Taozi’s child was a girl, disliked her completely."

"Oh my god, what era are we in that they’re still practicing such gender discrimination!"

Just then, someone suddenly butted in, "You guys probably don’t know, but I’ve heard that Yu Heng also got injured in this accident and will never be able to have children again."

As the person spoke, they covered their mouth giggling.

If she didn’t know about his and Tao Tao’s affairs she could possibly feel a bit of sympathy for him, but knowing what he did, she didn’t have a shred of pity for him!

"Really? Is it true?" everyone asked in surprise.

"Of course it’s true. My brother’s wife works at the hospital, and she’s Yu Heng’s attending physician. She told me personally."

"So, does this mean Yu Heng’s family line will end with him?"

"How would it end? There’s still Little Sweetie," the person said, and as if suddenly remembering something important, quickly reminded Tao Tao, "Taozi, you should be careful. Who knows if the Yu family might fight you for the custody of the child."

Even though Little Sweetie was a girl, they could still find a son-in-law to marry into the family and continue the Yu family line with a household registration.

Tao Tao’s heart skipped a beat, clearly, she had also considered this possibility.

Yeah, what if Yu Heng’s family fights her for the child?

She absolutely couldn’t bear it!

But could she, a weak woman, prevail over the mother and son of the Yu Family?

Seeing her in such a distracted state, Xia Ningxing immediately took her hand, "Don’t worry, I’m here for you, I will never let the Yu Family take your child away!"

Her words instantly soothed Tao Tao’s panicked heart, and she looked at her with gratitude.

"Thank you, Xiaxia." Tao Tao knew that she was a woman of her word, and with her promise, any effort from the Yu Family would be in vain.

"There’s no need to be so formal between friends." Xia Ningxing smiled at her, then pulled her forward, "Let’s not talk about that scumbag anymore, it’s getting late. Let’s pack up and head back."

"Right, right, right, the sooner we pack, the sooner we can go back, I already miss Little Sweetie." Tao Tao hurriedly nodded.

Ever since she became a mother, she really felt like she couldn’t spend a moment away from her child.

In front of the dormitory building, the two parted ways.

Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli were heading to a detached dormitory building.

Tao Tao was going to the e-shaped apartment building of the opera troupe.

Originally, her luggage was in Yu Heng’s dormitory, but since the divorce, she had her friends from the opera troupe temporarily store her things, and now she just needed to pick them up.

It didn’t take long for Xia Ningxing to pack up as well; after all, being a man, Lu Tingli had fewer belongings in his room. She just needed to take his clothes and shoes.

"Let’s go, Lu!" Xia Ningxing called out to Lu Tingli while she headed towards the door, glancing back at him.

Unexpectedly, the man took long strides towards her, and his warm, dry palm hugged her waist.

"Baby Xing, I love you!"

The man suddenly confessed his feelings.

Xia Ningxing froze immediately, her clear eyes uncontrollably widened for a moment.

It took a while for Xia Ningxing to come back to her senses, her voice stuttering, "Lu, Lu, why are you suddenly being so cheesy?"

"I’m moved." Lu Tingli’s deep and pleasant voice showered her ear, "I could have packed up the few things by myself, but you still wanted to help me."

From this little thing, Lu Tingli could feel how much she cared for him.

It warmed his heart deeply.

"I’m your girlfriend; doing these things for you is only right." Xia Ningxing’s tone was as gentle as warm water, and she uttered the words without hesitation.

"Alright then, let go of me, or it’ll be awkward if Tao Tao sees us." As she spoke, Xia Ningxing extended her slender, pale fingers to remove his hand from her waist.

"Mhm."

The man lightly scratched the bridge of her delicate and high nose.

When Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli came out, Tao Tao also happened to be carrying her luggage over.

Just as the three of them were about to leave the institute, they saw Mrs. Yu with a dark expression approaching.

In her hands, she was carrying some of Yu Heng’s belongings, probably here to pack up for Yu Heng today.

When she saw Tao Tao, her eyebrows instantly knitted in distaste; she hadn’t expected to encounter her former daughter-in-law in such an embarrassing situation.

And when she saw the man standing beside her, Mrs. Yu immediately spat out a sharp and acid insult, "You slut, it hasn’t been that long and you’ve already found another man! Shameless! Pah!"
