"You two even jumped on it, you really thought I was going to praise you, didn't you?"
Mark retorted to the two people.
Wang Xiaomi and Ma Li have only known each other for a short time, and they are so collusive that even Mark can be fooled. This is definitely not possible.
"Dad, I really asked my sister to bring me to you."
Ma Li said weakly, Ma Li was equally good at showing pity in front of her old father.
"Teacher Ma, I told Lily that her mother was coming, so she asked me to come with her. If you want to blame you, blame me."
Wang Xiaomi also said with a pitiful look.
"You two, please stay calm in the future. Once you make people angry, you will be happy, right?"
If he really had to share the pot between two people, Mark would definitely give Wang Xiaomi a bigger share.
The starting point of the matter was when Wang Xiaomi told Ma Li that Tian Ye came to the gym.
Even if Wang Xiaomi had no scheming intentions, this was not done out of active calculation.
But the subconscious chose to do this, that is, he was willing to ruin the conversation between Mark and Ye Ye from the bottom of his heart.
"Very happy."
Ma Li and Wang Xiaomi replied at the same time.
"..." Mark: "Have you two considered whether I am happy or not?"
"Dad, you must be very happy, aren't you? We can be considered as taking out a piece of bad luck for you."
Seeing Mark's expression, Ma Li came over and hugged Mark's arm and acted coquettishly. She had held Mark firmly with one hand for fifteen years.
"I've already done this on my own, so I don't need your help."
After beating Zhao Ling, the matter was over as far as Mark was concerned.
"I also want to help you vent your anger."
Wang Xiaomi followed.
"You are causing trouble. Ma Li is a child, so are you."
It was reasonable for Ma Li to vent her anger on Mark, but Wang Xiaomi was just lying.
It was obviously a declaration of sovereignty in front of Ye Ye. Although the two people had not determined their relationship yet, Wang Xiaomi had already put an end to contact between Mark and Ye Ye in advance.
"Teacher Ma, are you angry?"
"Am I angry with a little girl like you?"
Wang Xiaomi was still too enthusiastic, and the pace was faster than Mark expected.
In order to catch Tianye, it is better for Mark and Wang Xiaomi to develop a little slower.
"Then where should we go next?" Ma Xiaomi was obviously still thinking about having fun.
"You have to go to work and go to school tomorrow, and you have to get up early. Where else do you want to go?"
Mark asked Wang Xiaomi in return.
There must be some reason why this girl is late for work every morning.
The younger generation does not sleep before twelve o'clock, but Wang Xiaomi sticks to it very well.
"Let's go have a meal together, I'll treat you." After getting to know Mark, Wang Xiaomi really liked treating guests.
"Just write it down first and eat it another day. It's time for Lily to go home and make papers. It's the end of the semester soon."
There are many benefits of taking Ma Li with you every day.
It can also be used as an excuse to go home early and maintain Mark's healthy routine.
It also saves two people together, and the progress is too fast.
If Mark was alone with Wang Xiaomi, it would be impossible to resist him.
"Dad, my mom is really angry today."
While Mark was cooking, Mary went back inside to do her homework.
While waiting for the meal to be ready, Ma Li was halfway done.
There is obviously more homework these days than before.
This time it was Mark who called Ma Li out of the room after he had finished cooking.
"You also know that your mother is really angry. Isn't it all because of you?"
Mark knew what Ma Li wanted to say, so he gave the blame to Ma Li first.
"Why is it because of me? She is obviously angry because you have a girlfriend."
What Ma Li actually wanted to say was that Tianye still cared about Mark and persuaded the two to reconcile.
No matter what Ma Li does, her core purpose remains the same.
"Do you know why your mother comes to the gym?"
"Because of what?"
"She wants to reconcile with you and wants you to live with her two days a week."
"real or fake?"
Ma Li was angry with Tian Tian. In addition to Tian Tian's filing for divorce, Tian Tian did not fight for Ma Li's custody rights, which was also part of the reason.
Ma Li is not a child and would not think that this means that the field does not want her.
But it is inevitable to feel awkward and uncomfortable.
"I didn't lie to you. She wants to reconcile with you. How can she not be angry if you stab her in the back like this?"
If Mark and Tian Tian were exchanged, Mark would be even angrier than Tian Tian.
So Ma Li should bear at least half of the blame for being angry at Tianye.
"Even if it's because of me, isn't it because of you that my mother is so angry?"
"For whatever reason, weren't you responsible for all these things?"
When Mark said this, he felt a little guilty.
At least for now, Mark has nothing to do with Wang Xiaomi.
"oh."
Ma Li fell silent and fell into reflection. She felt a little sorry for Tian Ye.
In the next few days, Mark and Wang Xiaomi only met at the gym.
There was actually not much communication, and Ma Li was there most of the time.
When Ma Li was around, Wang Xiaomi couldn't be unscrupulous and say whatever he wanted.
Before telling Ma Li her real name, Wang Xiaomi had been feeling guilty about Ma Li.
He didn't dare to show that he cared about Mark in front of Ma Li.
"Lao Ma, I'm back!"
"You're finally back. How's it going? Has your wife been discharged from the hospital? I thought I wouldn't see you again until next semester."
Mark was still a little unaccustomed to not seeing Lao Sun for several days.
"I took her home. There's no big problem anymore. I just need to rest."
Lao Sun's mood seems to be quite good.
There must be a reason why his wife was discharged from the hospital smoothly, but Mark boldly guessed that it must have something to do with the fact that Lao Sun didn't have to keep an eye on his wife all the time.
"As long as everything goes well."
"Save your time for me after get off work today, and I'll treat you to dinner."
"Why, my sister-in-law dislikes you for making a fuss when you go home, so Jingyang just won't let you go home?"
"What are you talking about? How could she not want me to go home? Isn't it to thank you for inviting you to dinner? Thank you for giving me the medical examination card."
"There's no need for that. My card sent my sister-in-law to the hospital, and I sent you to the hospital for such a long time that you didn't come to work."
Mark doesn't really want to do this kind of thing.
"How can you say this? If you didn't detect the hidden danger early, you still don't know what problems will arise when it becomes an emergency. You are giving us health."
"As long as you two are healthy, I won't eat this meal."
"Your sister-in-law has ordered you to come with me after get off work."
Lao Sun's invitation this time was quite sincere, and it didn't happen often.
"You've spent a lot of money, Lao Sun. This is not like you."
After get off work, Lao Sun took Mark to find a Western restaurant.
Let’s not talk about the taste. Just look at the environment of the restaurant and you will know that it is certainly much more expensive than ordinary Chinese food.
"Why don't you look like me anymore? Do you think I'm stingy? I told you I come here often."
At this time, Lao Sun undoubtedly felt that he was a very generous man.
"Yes, you are an English teacher after all. You should come to places like this more often. After learning English for so many years, you always need to find a few foreigners to talk to you."
Communicate more with foreigners, and Lao Ma can change his plastic accent.
If you have listening skills in English, you still need to be able to speak to a standard and pass the test.
"Not only should I come more often, but you should also come more often, Ma."
Mark just gave Lao Sun some face, and Lao Sun would give Mark an advantage.
"I don't have a foreign stomach like yours, and I can't get used to these things. Why am I here?"
"Lao Ma, you are single now, did you know?"
"You don't need to stress this, I know it myself."
"You are only forty, and you are not too old. You can't stay single for the rest of your life. If you want to find another girl, why don't you go on a date with a girl like this and find a restaurant with such a nice environment to eat? You want to bring someone with you? If someone goes to eat noodles with soybean paste, will other girls be happy?"
"Have you been thinking about this since you haven't been to school for so long? Can you think about something more serious? The exam is coming soon. Think about your students' grades and your performance. Is it time for some refreshment?"
The more I heard what Lao Sun said, the more wrong it became, so Mark quickly interrupted.
"Lao Ma, as your friend I only worry about this for you. I know a single woman. If you are willing, I can help introduce you to her."
No surprise, Lao Sun just wanted to help Mark introduce someone to him.
Judging from Lao Sun's social circle, Mark even suspected that a teacher in the school was interested in him and asked Lao Sun to come over.
"Old Sun, since when did you like to be a matchmaker? Why didn't I know you still had this hobby?"
"Old Ma, isn't it for your own good that I'm going to hurt you? Otherwise, how could I, a grown man, be willing to do such a thing?"
Compared to friendship, Mark is more willing to believe that Lao Sun just likes this kind of thing.
"Old Sun, for your own good, I have to tell your sister-in-law that you know a single woman. I can't just watch you make mistakes. You are so familiar with the restaurant. You have often brought ladies here before, right?
"
Mark imitated Lao Sun's tone and replied to Lao Sun.
"Forget it if you don't appreciate it, why are you telling your sister-in-law this? You don't know what kind of person she is!"
Lao Sun said angrily, the daughter-in-law is still a great deterrent to Lao Sun.
Under Mark's covert threat, Lao Sun did not continue talking about introducing the target.
This meal made Mark confirm something more: Lao Sun's food was not that delicious, and he must never let Lao Sun treat him in the future.
When there is no purpose, Lao Sun will never be willing to lose money.
"Teacher Ma, why didn't you come to the gym today?"
Before finishing the meal, Wang Xiaomi sent Mark a message. This girl is quite clingy.
"Ma Li is about to take the exam. Recently, I have to help Ma Li with logistics. I won't go to the gym for the time being."
At the last moment, the physical education classes were stopped, Ma Li's boxing training was coming to an end for the time being, and Mark also stopped working part-time.
Originally, he wanted to meet up at the gym and inform Wang Xiaomi later, but Lao Sun invited Mark out for dinner, so now he could only inform Wang Xiaomi by phone.
"Do you need my help?"
"As for the normal final exam, I can handle it myself."
In fact, there isn't much that Mark can do, except take care of the children's morning and evening meals.
Even if there is no Mark, it is not a big problem for Ma Li to solve it on her own.
But Mark stayed with me, which was a kind of moral support.
"Okay, I'll see you after you finish this period."
"Okay, I've said hello to the yoga teacher for you. Just look at the class schedule and go to class when you have time."
Although Mark felt that Wang Xiaomi might not go, he still made arrangements.
During the final period, even Ma Li was a little nervous.
I no longer had so much time to do things, and I focused my energy back on studying, so I no longer continued to think about Ye Ye and Mark all day long.
Mark had a little leisure time, except for proctoring during the exam.
The rest of the time, Mark is always happy at work and fishing.
"Lily, the final exams are over now. Do you have any place in mind that you want to go?"
"Didn't you say you would take me to Europe?"
"I said before, but it depends on your grades to decide whether to go to Europe?"
"Don't worry about my results. I won't let you down."
"Then let's see what country you want to go to. There must be a focus when we go out."
Ma Li has this confidence, and Mark also believes that Ma Li's results will not be too bad.
At least it won't be as bad as before. After experiencing the breakdown of her family, if her grades haven't deteriorated, it can be considered that Ma Li has made progress.
"I want to go to Paris, and I also want to go to Milan..."
There are still many places that Ma Li wants to go.
This age is actually the age when one is curious about the world, looks forward to new things the most, and is happy to go out and play.
"Bang bang bang!"
"I'll open the door." When she heard someone knocking on the door, Ma Li turned around and said.
"Who is this person? How come someone still comes to our house?"
Mark asked Mary at the door.
"Grandma, why are you here? I just wanted to see you when I have time."
Then Mark heard Marley's greeting from the door.
"Where's your dad?"
The response was Ling Mingyu's shout.
"Mom, why are you here?" Mark was quite surprised by Ling Mingyu's arrival.
The two of them haven't seen each other for a month, which is actually a cold war.
Mark didn't have the attitude to admit his mistake, so Ling Mingyu wouldn't come to the door.
"Mark, am I still your mother?"
When she saw Mark, Ling Mingyu scolded him.
"Why, is there any doubt about this?"
Although Mark told Ling Mingyu that Ling Mingyu would be Tianye’s biological mother from now on.
It's up to Ling Mingyu whether she wants to recognize Mark or not, but of course she can't take her words seriously.
If it weren't for sure that the two people were mother and son, Mark would actually have this question as well.
"You divorced Tianye. Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?" Ling Mingyu asked Mark.
"You know." Mark replied calmly.
Hearing that Ling Mingyu was angry because of this, Mark didn't continue to be confused.
Mark had already expected this kind of thing, and he would always have to experience it this time.
The fact that the old lady still came to her angrily showed that she had endured this matter, and Mark was quite happy to see it.
"Grandma, don't be angry. My parents' divorce is not my fault."
After understanding this, Ma Li quickly persuaded Ling Mingyu.
"Lily, you also know that if you had known your parents were getting divorced, wouldn't it have been okay if your dad didn't tell me, and even you had to hide it from me?"
Ma Li said it helpfully, and Ling Mingyu's anger rushed towards Ma Li.
In Ling Mingyu's eyes, Ma Li couldn't compare her status with Tian Tian, which may have been caused by Mark.
