Chapter 202: Divorce 2

as a child.Author's Note: Regarding Zhao Tingxing's selection earlier, I saw a comment from a reader yesterday that hit the nail on the head – it was about Zhao Dog's mindset. So I incorporated that...Cheng Zhimin was afraid she would change her mind. She had given her an ultimatum, three days. If the divorce papers weren't done in three days, she would start the lawsuit against Hong Zheng Law Firm by Li Sen Shi Chuang. She didn't have time. 。She didn't know how long she sat there, but when she saw the lights in her house turn off from the window, she got up and left the complex. 。As she walked to the entrance of the apartment complex, she was surprised to see Zhu Yuyan standing by the ornamental pond at the entrance. He had just left in a huff. 。He wore a trench coat, standing tall and stylish with an aloof air. He kept his gaze fixed on her, drawing the attention of passersby who thought he must be a celebrity filming a movie. 。Shu Tinglan's hard-won calmness rose again, he always did this. Even when he was angry, he would never leave her alone and walk away by himself. 。Before they were together, she had outrun him many times, and each time he would come back like this silently. 。Before she could even lower her head, a shadow enveloped her. Then, she was pulled into a familiar embrace. A husky voice rumbled in her ear, stubborn and firm: "I disagree with the divorce." 。Shutinglan pushed him hard and roared: "When will you stop harming me Don't divorce me!" I beg you, let me go! 。Her voice was also hoarse, her expression even more ferocious. She tried her best to make herself as repulsive as possible. 。It's better to have her play the bad guy and cut things off completely than for them to keep going like this, hurting each other. 。Her words struck Zhu Yu'an like a bolt from the blue, leaving him frozen in place. He continued to stare at her, but his eyes gradually grew filled with despair. 。"Do you really want a divorce Do you really want to leave me" "Yes" 。She nodded 。"Are you really willing to" His voice trembled as he asked, his eyes instantly filling with bloodshot redness. 。Shū Tínglàn didn't dare to look at her, and answered with his head bowed: "I'm willing" 。"Look at me!" he commanded, gripping her shoulders and forcing her to meet his gaze. 。She fell into his eyes, as if caught in a raging storm. They drew her in, and for a moment, she almost shook her head, unable to bear the thought of leaving. 。At that moment, I wanted to abandon everything and follow him without hesitation. I didn't care about being condemned by thousands or wandering the world; all that mattered was being with him, never to be separated. 。But it was just a fleeting thought. Reality, cold and unforgiving, reminded her that indulging in such carefree pleasure would only lead to endless pain. 。She looked up into his eyes, where a tiny version of herself resided. She nodded resolutely again. "Willing to..." 。Tomorrow morning, I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. 。When we got married, you waited for me. When we divorced, I waited for you. Very fair. 。"

Zhuo Yu'an let go of her shoulder and nodded dejectedly: "Fair enough." 。"

What a joke of fairness! He waited for her when they got married, and she held the power. When they divorced, she still waited for him, and the power was still in her hands." 。In both marriage and divorce, he was always the chosen one. 。Whom can I blame Only myself for being born into such a family, not even able to hold onto the only thing I wanted to keep. 。Divorce was simpler than Shu Tinglan had expected. Perhaps because of Cheng Zimin's prior arrangements, the staff didn't even ask the most basic questions. They gave them documents to sign, stamped their divorce certificates, and it was all done in one go. It took less than five minutes from start to finish, much faster than getting a marriage certificate. 。Their marriage probably felt more like a game than anything else. They got married on a whim, without really thinking it through. It was all decided in just a few words. 。Now getting a divorce is also a quick process, taking just a few steps. Since the couple has no children, there are no issues regarding custody. And with no shared property, there's no need to worry about dividing assets, making the separation clean and straightforward. 。As they walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, one after the other, Shu Tinglan suddenly looked back at Zhu Yu'an. He stood in the light and shadow, also looking up at her. 。。"This could be considered a farewell meal, a good parting. " 。Zhuo Yu'an looked at her coldly, his eyes were completely like looking at a stranger, and he said in a cold voice: 。After saying that, he stepped aside and strode away from her, resolute and cold. 。Shu Tinglan only had time to see his straight back, and watch him get in the car and drive away with a roar of the engine. 。Just like that

Not even a goodbye

She thought they were breaking up peacefully, at least there would be a parting embrace, at least a farewell dinner 。She has some things she wants to say at the farewell dinner. 。She wanted to say that she never regretted walking this path with him, and she also wished him peace, health, and a happy life for the rest of his days. 。He didn't even give her a minute. 。

That's right, given his personality, he would be a stranger after the divorce. There's no need to waste time listening to her talk nonsense. 。She got back into her car and placed the divorce certificate on the dashboard, staring at it for a long time. All the emotions she had been suppressing lately suddenly broke free, and she cried uncontrollably inside the car, almost choking on her sobs. 。The last feeling I had left was pain, all over my body. It was like being skinned and having my bones removed. Getting a divorce felt like being ripped apart from the inside out. 。Cheng Zhim's phone call saved her, pulling her instantly out of this pain. 。She said, "Attorney Shu, I truly appreciate your help." 。You said you would do it, and I will definitely keep my word. 。I will have Lizhen immediately withdraw the lawsuit against Hongzheng Law Firm, and this Kangyang City project will proceed as usual. 。"Shū Tínglán had no strength left in her whole body. She had cried too hard just now, and her vision was still blurry. Her head was buzzing, but she could at least hear what Chéng Zhīmín was saying. She replied, "

" 。Then came calls from Director Xiao and Zhou Ming, one after another, all asking her what was going on Lizhen Shichuang suddenly withdrew the lawsuit and apologized to them, saying it was a misunderstanding, that the matter had been resolved, and that the Kangyang City project would proceed as planned. 。"I'm going back to the law firm now" 。She suppressed all her emotions and drove to the law firm. 。No matter how well she tried to hide it, her state was evident to everyone. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she had a stuffy nose and ringing in her ears. 。Mr. Xiao and Zhou Ming were both taken aback when they saw her. 。"What happened"

She was surprisingly calm. "We're divorced, so everything is solved." 。The office was deathly silent. 。"For the sake of the project, so divorce" Zhou Ming asked incredulously. 。"This time with Lisen's incident was just a spark, like you said before, we are not compatible, divorce is only a matter of time." 。There were too many incompatibilities between her and Zhu Yunan. Her father and mother had both accurately stepped on the pain points of the Zhu family, and there was also Wen Jian's mother and daughter who kept stirring up trouble. 。Both leaders couldn't help but feel a tinge of pity in their eyes when they looked at her. Especially Zhou Ming, after all, she was a girl he had once liked, and now he treated her like his younger sister. Seeing her like this, he felt very uncomfortable. 。Result Shu Tinglan was still continuing to stab

:“Director Xiao, Teacher Zhou, thank you for your care over the past two years. No matter how big my mistakes were, you both helped me silently >>> 。But I'm so sorry, the past two years have caused you too much trouble. I repeatedly pushed you to the forefront..."

"Stop it, what do you want to say" Zhou Ming knew she was about to make a fool of herself again, and stopped her from speaking 。Director Xiao just watched her quietly, without saying a word. 。

"This is my resignation letter" 。She can't drag them down any longer, and she can't continue to live in Senzhou. 。didn't suffer much." The comforting words sounded especially pale, and Han Li stopped talking. She had no intention of using the old woman to play emotional cards.And he also knew deeply that the old...
