TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 249: Jingzhe, Are You Still Divorced?

Shao Qiyun, who was soaking in the river, rambled with hatred that Mu Jingzhe did. However, the villagers, who stood by the river bank and covered their noses, waved their hands to stop him from spouting nonsense. No one believed him, nor did anyone suspect the five children. They only said that Shao Qiyun was careless and had experienced this retaliation.

After spending a few days in hell and now losing face in front of the entire village, that night, he left with a smell that could not be lost.

Previously, he had been afraid of debt collectors, but now, Mu Jingzhe was even scarier than debt collectors. He was afraid that he would fall victim to some sort of revenge plan and actually drown in the toilet, so he tied Zhao Lan up and fled that night.

Zhao Lan was tied up all night and was only found and released by Eldest Brother-in-law Shao the next day. Now that Shao Qiyun had escaped, she was afraid that Mu Jingzhe would blame her for not taking good care of her. Fortunately, Mu Jingzhe did not.

It was good because Shao Qiyun had left. Previously, she was angry, but now, Mu Jingzhe did not want to see Shao Qiyun anymore. The sight and sound damaged Mu Jingzhe's mood and made Xiao Wu feel uneasy.

After Shao Qiyun left, Xiao Wu finally willingly went to the courtyard and returned to school.

At school, Xiao Wu was still the most popular classmate. Everyone was happy to hear him play the flute, but now everything is different.

When Xiao Wu played the flute to his classmates again, everyone no longer smiled. Instead, they cry and say that the melody evokes feelings of sadness and fear within them.

Xiao Wu quickly changed his tone, and this was resolved. His classmates did not take heart, so only Xiao Wu knew that he had changed.

In the past, he would not think much. As long as he could play a flute or other musical instrument, he would be happy and full of excitement. When he thought of Mu Jingzhe and his brothers, he would also be happy. If he were to experience unhappiness, he would only need to play the flute and crochet his tone and mood would be bright again.

But now, it no longer did it for him. Even while playing the flute, he felt moody. Sometimes, he couldn't help but think of unpleasant things. Then, he would subconsciously play some miserable songs. Instead of encouraging someone, this will evoke unpleasant memories.

Before Mu Jingzhe realized it, Xiao Wu's dark music phase had begun. Although he had changed many things, certain aspects of the fate of the five children had not changed.

Xiao Wu knew this was not good, but he sometimes felt sad. He used to love playing music, but now he's scared.

The fear deep in his heart resurfaced. He was afraid he would be the bad guy. Because of her fear, she started to reject her favorite thing—music.

Mu Jingzhe and the others were unaware of it at first. When they saw Xiao Wu suddenly stop playing the flute every day, they thought it was because his mood was bad.

However, when it came time to go to art school over the weekend, they realized how heavy the problem was.

After what happened in art school, the school paid more attention to safety management. Since the school was quite responsible, Mu Jingzhe decided to let them continue there.

However, when he returned that day, Shao Qihai said that Xiao Wu no longer wanted to attend music classes, and Ji Buwang could not do anything either. Ji Buwang asked Mu Jingzhe to meet him.

When Shao Qihai told Mu Jingzhe, he was still a little unwilling, but Ji Buwang said that he should discuss this with Mu Jingzhe. Unfortunately, since Shao Qihai could not do anything against Xiao Wu, he could only deliver the message.

When Mu Jingzhe asked Xiao Wu why he did not want to study anymore, Xiao Wu said that he did not want to.

Although he said that he was unwilling, after saying that he would not learn to play or touch musical instruments anymore, Xiao Wu felt like he had lost his soul and was often dazed. He didn't seem to be alright, nor did he look really not wanting to learn anymore.

Mu Jingzhe had advised Xiao Wu and encouraged her to continue studying. However, after trying to persuade her, she realized that Xiao Wu was really disgusted and even a little scared.

Under such circumstances, they naturally could not force Xiao Wu. The next day, Mu Jingzhe asked Shao Qihai to look after his five children and pedal his bike to look for Ji Buwang.

Ji Buwang still works part-time at art school, but other than Sundays, he usually doesn't go. He was basically just teaching Xiao Wu and Xiao Wu alone. Rather than calling him a teacher, it might be more appropriate to call him Xiao Wu's private tutor.

The school can't wait for Ji Buwang to stay.

When Mu Jingzhe left, Ji Buwang was playing the piano. Coincidentally, sunlight entered through the window and struck Ji Buwang, making him seem like he was enveloped in a layer of golden light.

It was a really beautiful sight. Mu Jingzhe lightened his steps so that he did not bother him. He leaned against the wall and listened to Ji Buwang, who was like a prince.

When they were young, orphanage children like him did not have the opportunity to learn music, so they were envious when they saw people learning to play musical instruments. At the time, the piano was an unreachable existence to them, and a prince who played the piano was even more unattainable.

Mu Jingzhe stared at the dust in his pants and could not help but pat him.

Ji Buwang quickly noticed. "Jingzhe, you're here."

Too many things happened during this period of time. Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buwang had not spoken well for a long time, and it had also been a long time since the last time they met. When Ji Buwang saw his clear face again, he was filled with emotions.

"Mm, have you been okay recently?" Mu Jingzhe nodded and walked in.

"Sebaya. How's yours?"

Mu Jingzhe shrugged. “There are many things that are difficult to explain in a few words. You also know it.”

After some small talk, the two of them talked about Xiao Wu. "What happened to Xiao Wu?"

Ji Buwang has always been very sensitive. Mu Jingzhe nodded. “Something happens.” After saying that, he did not continue. It's not that he doesn't trust Ji Buwang, but it's better that fewer people know about this.

“I came back last night to talk to him ..” Mu Jingzhe told me about his conversation with Xiao Wu. Ji Buwang nodded and did not continue the matter. “This is similar to what I thought. He's just a little disgusted. We have to guide him well through this situation, or it might affect his future.”

Those who study music or drawing and those who go down the art path sometimes feel disgust and hate in the middle of the road. Some even want to give up. Some people's condition then improves, but some actually give up for good.

“The situation of Xiao Wu is a little similar to theirs but also a little different. I continue to feel that he has suffered a big blow.”

Mu Jingzhe smiled bitterly. He has suffered a lot of suffering. “Then what should we do next?”

“Don't force him to keep learning for now. Give him time. Most importantly, it re-established his confidence. Observe him more.”

After the two of them finished talking about Xiao Wu, Ji Buwang suggested to have lunch together. Mu Jingzhe hesitated for a moment and nodded. "Good."

He felt that Ji Buwang had something to say.

Ji Buwang does have something to say. After eating, he walked out of the restaurant and said, “Jingzhe, have you thought about it?

“I've given you time to consider it and make a decision. Although I was joking before, in your current state, it is actually not easy for me to see you. I'm afraid it will affect you. ”

He did not say anything, but Mu Jingzhe knew that he was talking about divorce.

“Many things have happened during this time period. I don't have time to...” How can he care about divorce now? It was also not a good time to get a divorce, with Xiao Wu being in such a situation.
