"Little Xuan, if you have something to do, then go and busy yourself. Since you've pretty much finished packing up, I'll beat you up later and go straight home."
"I'm fine. I have a lot of work to do every day, and now it just so happens that I can catch my breath. Furthermore, Ling Qiao personally ordered me to rest for a few days. He wants me to accompany you."
"But …"
"Rest assured, at this time, the news of Ling Qiao and Tang Congee has already occupied the headlines. Even if they say that I'm playing the big card, I'm afraid that no one will notice." Shu Shu, how can I be at ease with you acting like this? "
Shu Shu smiled knowingly. "Little Xuan, thank you."
Without saying a word, Shen Xiaoxuan opened her arms and hugged her. At this time, no one could share the pain and suffering she was feeling. The only thing she could do was accompany her.
After arranging their things, the two of them sat in the living room, waiting for something. Perhaps they were waiting for Ling Qiao, or perhaps they were waiting for a lawyer.
Around noon, there was the sound of a car coming from outside. Shu Shu's hand suddenly tightened around Shen Xiaoxuan's. She was a little afraid that they were going to get a divorce.
Opening the door, Ling Qiao walked in absentmindedly. Behind his, Chen Jia Qian gave Shen Xiaoxuan a look, but Shen Xiaoxuan did not appreciate it. "You're really fast. I guess I'll just sign my name and leave."
Chen Jia Qian stepped forward and pulled on Shen Xiaoxuan's arm, "Come with me, let them have a good talk."
Shen Xiaoxuan swatted away Chen Jia Qian's hand, "What else is there to say?" Although she was not as agitated and angry as before, her words contained a lot of helplessness and reproach, "Forget it, why don't you move away for me? I want to return to my original home."
Ling Qiao was stunned. "Phoenix District? It's going to be demolished. Everyone's moving out. They can't live there. " "I, Ling Qiao, am not a good husband, but I am not going to let you live without a place to stay. This villa is for you, and you are still living here."
"This is the house you and Tang Xiuqing are going to get married in, I don't want it!" Shu Shu's stubbornness was written all over her face.
The Chen family forcefully pulled Shen Xiaoxuan along, "Come with me, I have something to say to you. Let's go, let's go."
Shen Xiaoxuan looked at Shu Shu and then at Ling Qiao. Forget it, let's just let them have their way.
Shu Shu kept her head down, not daring to look at Ling Qiao. She was afraid that the tears she had been holding back would unwittingly fall. Ling Qiao slowly walked into her room, and stretched out his hand to grasp it. With a hoarse voice, he said, "But the truth is, this is the house we use to get married, isn't it? If you don't want it, I can give you other things, as long as you like it. "
Shu Shu pulled back her hand. She felt that she was cut by a dull knife with rust on it. The knife didn't die, and she suffered the pain while alive. "Ling Qiao, what do you mean by this? You want me to be your secret lover? Heh, that's impossible! "
"That's not what I meant …" I just want you to live a good life, but, now to say more is unnecessary, we still have to divorce.
Shu Shu shook her head. "Forget it, just don't say it. We'll just leave each other a smile, okay?" She lowered her head and looked at his finger out of the corner of her eyes, "This golden ring, it's time to take it off."
Ling Qiao moved his fingers as his heart ached. "From the moment I put them on, I won't be able to take them off," he said.
"There's always a way to get it, I'll help you …" Shushu gathered up her strength and took his arm, walking slowly toward the bathroom.
He turned on the tap, wet his hands, soaped them, and turned the ring gently. Ling Qiao looked down at her and could see that he was in a trance. He could feel that the ring was about to separate from his finger, so he unconsciously curled his finger.
But it was useless, Shu Shu carefully took out the gold ring, "Look, didn't you already take it off? "Let's flush." She put the ring under the tap and rinsed it, then took his hand and rinsed it clean.
On her finger, there was an obvious ring mark. It was a bit red, so she touched it and said, "Does it hurt? Are you hurt? "I use a lot of strength."
"Pain …" Heartache.
Shu touched his finger. "It won't be painful for long. As a man, why are you afraid of such a little bit of pain?"
Ling Qiao's heart was wracked with pain. He could clearly feel that the tears in his eyes had finally uncontrollably flowed down as he cried.
Shu Shu jumped in surprise. This was the first time she saw Ling Qiao cry. "Don't be like this …" She could barely hold on to the dam. "Can you not be like this?"
Ling Qiao took a deep breath and tried to adjust his breath. As a man, crying was never a good thing. "I'm just like this in front of you. Wife, can I still call you that?"
"Wife, I was too conceited. Sorry, I didn't believe what you said. Wife, I really don't want to be separated from you for even a day." "I don't want a divorce, and I don't want to get married again. What should I do?"
Shu Shu's tears could no longer be stopped. She said, "Don't say anymore. I really don't want to hear it. I've suffered a setback this time. I hope you remember it!" She couldn't say any words of blessings. It would already be good enough if she didn't curse Tang Beiqing.
"Ling Qiao, don't be like this, take out the contract, I saw it in your suit pocket." She stared at his pocket. It was only a corner, but she could guess.
Ling Qiao wiped his hands clean and slowly took out the paper from his pocket. The agreement was very simple: he would get the villa, one car, and three hundred million yuan in alimony.
Shu Shu smiled bitterly. "I didn't expect that I would earn so much. It's enough for me to spend for several lifetimes."
Ling Qiao said, "I had booked the car for you a long time ago, but I haven't brought it yet. After some time, I can get it back. They will call you. As for the villa …" If you don't want the ones here, you can trade them.
"Actually, I don't need anything …" It was really ironic, today she had truly experienced the meaning of the phrase "money makes a ghost". She chuckled, "Do you think that money can make up to me?" Ling Qiao, can you not insult our relationship? "
"I don't think these things are enough for you. Wife, you have to wait for me. I definitely won't touch Tang Sqing, I swear."
"Please don't tell me these things, this is between the two of you, it has nothing to do with me. If you want me to feel better, don't promise me anything, I'm afraid that once I have hope, a greater disappointment will come."
Ling Qiao was choked with sobs as he held Shu Shu's hand. At the same time, he also held the ring in her hand, "You keep it, one day, you will put it on for me again."
His cell phone kept ringing. He didn't want to answer it. Then the phone stopped and his home phone rang again. He still didn't want to answer it.
Seeing his painful and conflicted expression, Shu Shu took the letter of agreement and walked to the side of the tea table. Without even looking at it, she signed her name at the place where he signed, "Alright, let's go. Don't let the family rush us. I'll accept everything." She didn't want to be entangled with it, didn't want to be entangled with it. Acceptance was one thing, and use was another.
Ling Qiao felt that he had never been so useless before, to the point where he could not even protect the woman he loved.
In the end, it was the end of the divorce. Shu Shu followed Shen Xiaoxuan back to her house, because the Phoenix District was indeed in the process of being demolished. The old district, the old houses that had been here for decades, even the roads were full of holes.
Thinking about going to Japan next week, she was in no hurry to find a house. She left all her luggage at Little Xuan's house.
Actually, this wasn't really Little Xuan's house, it was just the company's place for her to live, living with assistants, makeup artists, stylist etc. The house was big, so he didn't mind having one person with her.
"ShuShu, you can sleep in the same room as me. They are all out at work now and won't be back until very late at night. They don't only have to take care of me, but other people as well, so they have to work day and night."
"You guys are really risking your lives!" Shu Shu was a little worried, but she was also full of envy.
"Hmm, what else can I do if I don't take advantage of my youth?" Shu Shu, don't think about those dirty thoughts anymore. If it's fate, you two will still be together.
"I know, Little Xuan, are you and the deputy station head alright?"
Shen Xiaoxuan seemed to be avoiding her words as she smiled and said, "We are fine. Calming down is good for everyone."
"What's wrong?"
"His family doesn't accept it, you know …"
Shu Shu nodded, looking at the smiling Little Xuan, she didn't press on, "It's been a long time since we slept together, it's really good, feeling like we've returned to university."
"That's right. I've been really tired recently. I must make use of this rare opportunity to have a good night's sleep. ShuShu, who's going to be in the competition for the longest period of time?"
"Sure, my phone is off!"
"Uh-huh. I also have to hang a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door of my room."
"Haha, then does your assistant think that we're going to pull some strings?"
"If we let them misunderstand, there aren't many good men in this world. It would be better to have sisters to accompany them."
Shu Shu smiled. Leaving Ling Qiao, leaving the villa, and leaving the Ling family, she could also live a good life. However, she had wanted to go see her grandma before she left. However, it wasn't convenient to be in such a dangerous situation. She would have to find an opportunity to visit his in the future. She hoped that there would be more opportunities.
At dinner time at the Ling family's mansion, there was a wave of depression that no one could stomach, and Hu Xin was very upset. Actually, she had always been looking forward to this ending, but she hadn't thought it would come so quickly and so fiercely. There were several times when she wanted to ask Tang Thirty-Six if Ling Qiao really had nothing to do with her going to the hotel, or if it was just a misunderstanding.
Even if she, as a mother-in-law, disliked Shu Shu, she could not deny that Ling Qiao and Shu Shu Shu loved each other so much.
"Grandma, dad, mom, eat slowly, I'm full."
"Son, you only ate a few bites, eat more. Look at you, you're haggard."
"Mom, I'm really full." Ling Qiao pursed his lips, not saying much as he put down his chopsticks and left.
Everyone could see how strange he was. Hu Xin, as a mother, was even more concerned about her son. She silently said: "Aren't we forcing him to go too far this time?"
Ling Wang made a stuffy sound, "Isn't that what you were thinking? Now that I have followed your train of thought, are you not happy? "
"Mom, why do you say that? I did it for his own good." Hu Xin felt wronged, but she accepted it. She didn't want to see Ling Qiao in such a state. So what if he was obedient, he would be a walking corpse if he lost his soul.
"Stinking brat, to actually do such a dirty thing, you have to bear the consequences after doing it. Either you suffer the consequences, or you suffer the consequences again. He brought this upon himself."
