We met at eighteen, married at twenty-two. At twenty-five, her childhood sweetheart returned, and I proposed divorce.
Someone asked if I was willing to let go. I thought about it and said, ...
Gu Nianci shook her head slightly: "There are some things I don't want to tell you, and there's no need to tell you."
"In short, as long as you promise not to divorce, I will give you a sum of money after I, Gu family, get through this difficult time. You can then use that money to live a carefree and happy life. Isn't that better than leaving the Xu family now and having nothing?"
I laughed and said, "There's something you might be confused about."
“Even if I don’t divorce you, I will still leave the Xu family. I am no longer a member of the Xu family and will not be of any help to you. If you want to solve the crisis of the Gu family, you should look for Xu Yan, not me.”
"The Xu family cares a lot about their reputation. They won't openly break ties unless you're willing, and besides..."
"I will help you."
With that, Gu Nianci walked into the house, saying, "Even if you don't agree, it's fine. I won't agree to a divorce!"
I stared at Gu Nianci's retreating figure for a long while, stunned.
At that moment, I suddenly felt that Gu Nianci had something wrong with her brain.
I wanted to chase after them, but after thinking about it, I stopped. They were having a great time inside, so why would I go in and spoil their fun?
As for what Gu Nianci said, I don't care. Even if she's unwilling, I can still hire a lawyer to file a lawsuit, which would make the divorce even faster!
That's just how I am.
Once you've decided to do something, you won't have any other thoughts.
I only have two ideas right now.
divorce.
Then live out the rest of your time well and wait to be wiped out.
I lit another cigarette, but before I could even smoke it, Song Qingrong stubbed it out.
Song Qingrong had walked over at some point and asked me, somewhat puzzled, "Why don't you agree?"
"You heard everything?"
Song Qingrong rolled her eyes. "Didn't you guys try to hide it from me?"
"Tell me, why do you disagree?"
"Don't you like Gu Nianci very much?"
"Like?" I lit another cigarette. "Actually, I wouldn't say I like it. It's a rather complicated feeling."
"To be honest, it's probably the feeling of being unwilling to accept defeat that's at play."
"Now that I understand, I don't care anymore."
"If she doesn't want to, what do you plan to do?" Song Qingrong thought for a moment and asked.
"Let's go to court." I took a deep drag on my cigarette. "This marriage is definitely over."
"I'm not a simp."
Song Qingrong smiled and patted my shoulder, "Well said."
"Come on, let me take you for a drink."
"I happen to know some lawyers who specialize in divorce cases. Let me introduce you to them."
"Judging from your expression, you'd love for me to get a divorce, wouldn't you? What? You want to be with me after I get a divorce?"
"It's not impossible!"
"..."
"You're not happy about it?"
I didn't answer, but after thinking for a moment, I asked back, almost as if possessed, "If I died, would you cry?"
"I mean, disappear from this world completely!"
