Chapter 449: Chapter 449 Demotion, Remarriage

Luo Siyuan asked, "Third brother, should we tell Grandpa and Grandma about this?"

Luo Siyan remained silent for a moment before saying, "No need, Dad will tell them himself. We just need to inform Qiaoqiao."

When Luo Qiao received the call, she hadn’t expected Luo Haotian to make such a resolute decision to divorce. It seemed that Ning Xueling must have done something particularly outrageous; otherwise, with Luo Haotian’s temperament, he certainly wouldn’t have brought up divorce so readily.

After hanging up, Luo Qiao thought to herself that there would come a day when Ning Xueling would regret this.

After Lu Yichen’s leg had fully healed, he called to inform his maternal grandfather, and also asked him not to mention it deliberately to others, just to ease the old man’s mind.

Upon learning that his grandson’s leg injury had healed, Gu Baiqing was so thrilled that he really wanted to tell his old buddies, but since his grandson had asked him not to mention it, he could only revel in the good news quietly.

Gu Qianru came home today to find her adoptive father in a good mood, "Dad, is there some good news?"

Gu Baiqing said, "Qianru, prepare a few dishes; I want to have a drink."

Gu Qianru laughed and said, "Dad, what’s the occasion? Come on, spill it, so I can be happy too."

Gu Baiqing laughed and responded, "You’ll know in time. It’s better to keep it as a surprise for you all."

Gu Qianru said, "Could it be that Yiting has found someone, or perhaps our Yichen has a prospect?"

Gu Baiqing replied, "Alright, stop guessing. When the time comes, you’ll naturally find out."

The old master happily returned to his study, took out an old photo from the drawer, and tenderly touched the person in the picture, "Partner, Yichen’s leg is healed. I’m telling you, so you can rest easy now. Next time Yichen comes back, I’ll talk to him about matchmaking. Don’t worry, I know your concerns. When there’s good news, I’ll tell you immediately."

After the divorce, Luo Haotian wasn’t too affected. Every day he continued to go to work as usual. The only difference was that he fired the housemaid, since everyone at home had lunch at the company cafeteria anyway.

Now that only men were at home, it wasn’t convenient to keep a woman there, so he politely dismissed her. They bought breakfast, and whoever came home early cooked dinner. The absence of Ning Xueling actually made the house feel more relaxed.

On the other hand, Ning Xueling didn’t want her colleagues to know about her divorce, so she didn’t apply for staff housing. Instead, she rented a place not too far from her workplace.

Ning Xueling didn’t have much money, and since school had started over a month ago, she hadn’t enrolled Zhao Jianing in school, saying they would wait until the next semester. Therefore, Zhao Jianing spent her days helping with cooking and washing dishes at home.

Since she had never done these things before, she had to learn everything from scratch, and every day she would either burn the food or undercook it, which made Ning Xueling despise her even more.

Lately, Ning Xueling had been in a bad mood, frequently making mistakes at work, which even caused her superiors to lose their temper. As a result, she was demoted from the position of section chief to ordinary staff.

This demotion filled Ning Xueling with dissatisfaction, and she sent out an anonymous letter. A few days later, an investigative team arrived at her workplace, and indeed they uncovered an issue.

The higher-up leaders were all replaced, and the new leaders came in with a fury. From that point on, everyone at the organization changed their previous lazy ways; no one dared to slack off during work hours, come late, or leave early anymore.

The two new leaders that were transferred in were young university graduates with not more than three years on the job. Promotions were given to young people, leaving Ning Xueling with no chance for advancement.

With a lower position came a lower salary. After paying for the rent, her skincare expenses, and the cost of meals for her and Zhao Jianing, there was hardly anything left at the end of the month.

Wei Zixiong was unaware of her recent circumstances at work. When he came over to talk about their marriage that day, Ning Xueling initially didn’t want to remarry so soon, but her current situation didn’t allow her the luxury to be fussy.

So, without fully understanding the Wei Family’s situation, they processed their marriage registration and, with Zhao Jianing in tow, moved into the Wei Family’s home. Though the Wei Family’s house had been returned, after so many years it had become somewhat dilapidated.
