Zhong Mingzhen was aware of Zhou Jianchen, who was rumored together with Liang Yin.

Though Zhong Mingzhen was not familiar with the entertainment industry, he got to know more or less after Liang Yin acted in Chen Hua’en’s films. Since Liang Yin was the Zhong family’s guest, he inevitably paid some attention.

— Not only him, but his friends around him too.

He naturally also knew about those that occurred previously. He didn’t know at first since he was on the plane but later, after he had dealt with Liang Yin’s matter then saw various enquiries and news sent by his friends, he knew what had taken place too.

But at that time, he didn’t think much about it.

He knows Liang Yin’s personality very well and everything was really just a coincidence.

Except now … he somewhat was unable to explain clearly why he would appear here.

Liang Yin had already gotten into the car and she didn’t give any explanation. She did have a moment of hesitation but then she just let it go.

Since she and Zhong Mingzhen were about to divorce, there wasn’t need to deliberately explain anything.

Once everything was settled, she merely opened her mouth and asked, “Is everything ready?”

She had seen the set-aside divorce agreement.

She had already guessed that Zhong Mingchen was here to deliver the divorce papers for her to sign.

— She still had no intention of inviting Zhong Mingzhen up to her apartment.

Seeing that, Zhong Mingzhen handed over the document that was beside him, “Take a look first.”

As Liang Yin did not mention finding a place to sit and talk, he didn’t say anything either.

Originally, he wanted to let the lawyer send it over, but later he still opted to come over himself.

The relationship between Liang Yin and the Zhong family is special, so he doesn’t want to make everything seem awkward.

The agreement was very thick with about 20 pages, yet Liang Yin read it very quickly.

She knew that Zhong Mingzhen would handle everything fittingly, so she just skimmed over some of those major parts.

She merely looked at those crucial points, then crossed some of it out.

“These are sufficient.” After crossing it out, she handed the agreement back to Zhong Mingzhen.

In total, it only took a few minutes.

After Zhong Mingzhen took a look at it, there were some fluctuations in his eyes.

The agreement was full of numerous items, but to sum up, there were only four items that involved her interests —

All those that belonged to her are her possessions;

She owns everything that she has invested in;

In addition, he will give her 100 million in alimony, as well as 5% of Zhong Conglomerate’s shares.

He knew that he had fallen short of her, so he just wanted to do all he can to make up for it. 100 million in alimony and 5% of Zhong Conglomerate’s shares are enough for her to settle for the rest of her life. However, Liang Yin crossed out the last two.

“This is what you deserve.” Zhong Mingzhen turned his head.

Liang Yin, however, just shook her head, “I don’t need it.”

She knew what he was thinking, but she really didn’t need it.

The top two were sufficient.

Looking at her, Zhong Mingzhen’s eyes darkened.

Unable to withstand his gaze, Liang Ying just lowered her head and said, “If everything has been taken care of, just go through with the formalities earlier.”

She didn’t want to wait any longer.

Hearing that, Zhong Mingzhen retracted his gaze, “Tomorrow then, I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.”

Since there was no part of the agreement that needed to be modified, it could be processed tomorrow then.

Although Liang Yin didn’t want it, he would still give it to her.

“No need, I’ll go by myself.” Liang Yin, however, just replied to him.

He was the one who took her to get the marriage certificate together at that time. She didn’t want to be together now that they were getting divorced.

She didn’t know how she would feel when she came back afterwards.

Zhong Mingzhen fell silent again.

Once everything was settled, Liang Yin quickly got out of the car. Looking at her for a while, Zhong Mingzhen then chose to leave too.

**********

While at the corner, after Zhou Jianchen watched Liang Yin get out of the car and walk into the apartment alone, he retracted his gaze that was looking at the rearview mirror and restarted the car.

Just now he turned around and left, but stopped when he reached the corner.

He was just quite unwilling, but now, he was able to reconcile ….

**********

Liang Yin got up early the next day. She had an appointment at 9 am to complete the formalities with Zhong Mingzhen.

Ruona also got up and she didn’t look too good. She already knew why they were divorcing and also knew that they were going to go through the divorce procedure today.

“I don’t care, I’m going to send you along.” She insisted.

She knew that Liang Yin wanted to take a taxi there herself, but she was really worried, not to mention, she really hated Zhong Mingzhen.

She didn’t understand why he didn’t want such a good woman.

Seeing how insistent she was, Liang Yin was a little helpless and could only agree in the end.

**********

All the way, Liang YIn was very calm. She remembered how she looked 5 years ago. It was still summer at that time and she had just recovered from her injuries. Zhong Mingzhen brought her over to go through the formalities. She remembered the weather was nice that day and her mood became very good too, as the days of gloom seemed to have been swept away.

At that time, she thought she would be with Zhong Mingzhen for the rest of her life.

They would arrive at the Bureau of Civil Affairs soon, and Zhong Mingzhen was already there. He got out of the car once he saw her car stopped. Ruona didn’t get down. She just parked the car by the side of the road and looked resentfully at Zhong Mingzhen who was in front of her.

“Let’s go.” Zhong Mingzhen said after he took a look at Liang Yin.

Liang Yin nodded and followed.

She always kept a step away from him and didn’t come closer. At that time, he was holding her hand and walking forward together.

That was the first time he held her hand, and also the only time.

But why did he suddenly expedite as such to get the marriage certificate with her at that time?

The car accident that year was not accidental, but cooked up by someone.

Zhong Mingzhen has always had many admirers. One of them was the daughter of a family friend. She had liked him for many years. When she learned that he was actually going to marry her (LY), she adamantly arranged that car accident.

While she was driving out that day, a car came speeding in the opposite direction. She would never forget the fear she felt when the car smashed into hers and how she would be startled awake every time she dreamt about it.

However, that matter also ended there. The driver went to jail, but the daughter of the family friend was unscathed and was merely taken abroad to be sequestered. She is the only daughter in the family and the two families have a life and death relationship, thus the Zhong family eventually couldn’t do anything to her. Moreover, that family had shown enough sincerity and had earnestly requested for forgiveness.

She remembered Zhong Mingzhen was very angry at that time and even had an argument with him. When she recovered later, he brought her over immediately for the formalities.

In fact, he had already made up for her as he had defended her at that time.

**********

The place for signing had been arranged earlier where no one would see or disturbed them. Except for the two staff, there was no one else.

One of them was obviously a new joiner who was a little surprised seeing Liang Yin come in, but soon returned to normalcy. Their superior had already warned them that the people who came today were rather notable.

Zhong Mingzhen still took out yesterday’s divorce agreement. Somewhat hesitated, Liang Yin ultimately could only sign it for the time being.

Since all the necessary documents had been brought over, everything was done quickly too. Signed and stamped, the original marriage certificate is now null and void, and the new divorce will take effect henceforth.

Liang Yin took a look at the completely new divorce certificate that was handed over to her before finally putting it into her handbag.

“Let’s go.” Once everything was over, Zhong Mingzhen turned around and spoke. His voice was a little far away, seemingly softer than usual too.

“En.” Liang Yin nodded and blinked her eyes to keep the tears from trickling out.

Turning around, she walked ahead again while Zhong Mingzhen followed behind and no one talked the whole way.

Going down the stairs, she soon arrived at the parking lot. Ruona’s car was parked in front and she had gotten out to come over when she saw her coming down.

Standing still, Liang Yin wanted to bid goodbye, but her body was already trembling.

Zhong Mingzhen, who was behind her, stopped too. Not knowing how long later, his voice came softly, “You can come back to visit often in the future.”

Come back, back to where? It’s precisely that old mansion of the Zhong family.

She can still go back to take a look. She is the Zhong family’s little sister, who used to go there often and can still go there frequently in the future. Everything, has merely returned to the starting point.

“En.” Liang Yin nodded, her voice was already choking with sobs.

“Take good care of yourself.”

Liang Yin could no longer speak, but just nodded and walked forward quickly again.

Tears finally rage and could no longer be restrained.

Ruona was supporting her, yet Liang Yin let go of her arm and walked forward on her own again. Looking at her grieving face, the rims of Ruona’s eye reddened all of a sudden too.

Zhong Mingzhen had already walked over. She couldn’t help but look at him and said, “Zhong Mingzhen, don’t tell me you didn’t regret it? Yinyin is such a good woman, how could you just don’t want her once you said so?”

She wanted to say more, but the more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. So she just glared at him then turned around to chase after Liang Yin.

Liang Yin had already gotten into the car. With the tinted car windows, no one could see her sitting behind with her head leaning against the back of the front seat, choking with sobs.

**********

Zhong Mingzhen soon returned to the Zhong family.

He originally had something to do, but suddenly lost the mood. Old Madam of the Zhong family had gone abroad and there was no one else in the house except for a few servants.

The house was so quiet that one could hear the sound of palpitations. Leaning against the back of his chair, Zhong Mingzhen unexpectedly felt a flux of emptiness.
