Chapter 128 Divorce Him

As usual in previous years, they would have lunch at the old house before heading to the cemetery in the suburbs.

The lunch was very sumptuous and the table was bustling with activity.

Especially Fu Rui's childish talk, which made everyone at the table laugh from time to time.

Looking at Fu Rui's cute appearance, Wen Liang couldn't help but smile.

She didn’t know what the baby in her belly would look like when it was born, but she hoped it would be as cute and carefree as Fu Rui.

Across the dining table, Fu Zheng was slightly distracted as he looked at the peaceful smile on Wen Liang's face.

Wen Liang's face froze when he accidentally met Fu Zheng's gaze. He put down his chopsticks without leaving a trace and left the table to go to the bathroom.

When she wiped the water stains off her hands and came out of the bathroom, she saw someone standing at the door.

He was wearing a dark grey windbreaker, shirt, trousers and leather shoes. When viewed from behind, he stood tall and straight like a pine tree.

Wen Liang paused.

If this man hadn't held a half-smoked cigarette butt in his hand, she might have mistaken him for Fu Zheng.

Fu Zheng doesn't smoke.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Fu Yue turned sideways and looked back.

"Brother." Wen Liang greeted Fu Yue with a smile, "Are you hiding out to smoke?"

Fu Yue smiled helplessly and put out the cigarette butt, "Your sister-in-law doesn't allow you to smoke at home."

"Sister-in-law also cares about you."

"Well, I just smoke one now and then. Don't tell her."

"Okay, I'll just pretend I didn't see it." Fu Yue and his wife are very loving, so Wen Liang won't interfere too much. "Then I'll go back first."

"Wait!" Fu Yue called out to Wen Liang.

"Brother," Wen Liang stopped, "is there anything else?"

"I've also seen the recent news on the Internet."

Hearing this, Wen Liang lowered his eyes, feeling a little embarrassed.

The old lady and Su Qingyun didn't ask anything, and she pretended to be calm to maintain her dignity, but she was still exposed by Fu Yue.

"I know it's not your fault, it's Zheng's fault. Did he tell me how to deal with it? Is he still in contact with Chu Siyi?"

Wen Liang was silent, not knowing how to answer.

She liked to keep her worries to herself. In the past, when she had conflicts with Fu Zheng, she never complained to the two elders and accused Fu Zheng of wrongdoings. Instead, she only reported good news and not bad news, so as to maintain the relationship between them as grandparents and grandchildren.

"You don't have to worry about anything, just tell me the truth, otherwise I can find out myself!" Fu Yue said in a deep voice.

Wen Liang frowned and said lightly, "He just went to see Chu Siyi a few days ago."

"I knew it would be like this!" Fu Yue sighed, "Don't look at A Zheng's cold personality, he actually has a lot of things hidden in his heart, and he is most likely to feel guilty and soft-hearted!"

Wen Liang couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

It's not that I feel guilty or soft-hearted, it's clearly because that person is Chu Siyi.

He, Fu Zheng, had never been soft-hearted towards her.

Fu Yue saw Wen Liang's indifferent expression and knew that she was feeling aggrieved. After a moment's silence, he spoke again, "You should know that A Zheng and I have the same father but different mothers."

Wen Liang paused and nodded slightly.

"He was only one year old when my dad brought him home from outside. I was five at the time, and I could already understand his identity from the adults' attitudes. I really disliked him at the time. Because of him, my parents often quarreled, and the harmony they used to have was gone..."

Wen Liang had heard some of these things. Later, Fu Rong and his wife both died in a car accident. According to the surveillance footage on the road at the time, they had a fierce quarrel and were fighting for the steering wheel, which led to the accident.

A witness saw them at a service area on the previous section of the road and said: They were arguing at the time, apparently because the man had a mistress outside and had a child...

Wen Liang suddenly understood something.

In society, illegitimate children are looked down upon.

Some children become more inferior and feel that they should not exist because they are sensible and understand the meaning of a third party.

Even though Fu Zheng came from the wealthy Fu family and was protected by his grandfather, he needed to socialize, go to school, and be surrounded by all kinds of people. There would always be people who would mention his background and laugh at his origins.

He is a man who has received a formal education. Even if he has never shown it on the surface, has he ever had the idea deep down in his heart that he shouldn't exist?

And if Fu Rong and his wife got into a car accident because of a quarrel with him, would he put all the blame on himself, thinking that he was the one who indirectly killed them and caused Fu Yue to lose his parents overnight?

Fu Yue's next words proved her thoughts.

"At that time, I couldn't accept the death of my parents and blamed everything on A Zheng. I often bullied him behind his back and threatened him not to tell Grandpa. At first, I was terrified, afraid that Grandpa would find out. Later, I found that he would help me cover up in front of Grandpa, until Grandpa discovered something was wrong..."

"In other families, the older brother always gives in to the younger brother, but Zheng takes the initiative to give in to me. I know that he has always felt guilty about his parents' affairs and wants to do his best to make up for it. Over time, it has become an obsession in his heart. I believe it is the same for Chu Siyi."

"Is that so?" Wen Liang murmured.

"Did A Zheng tell you about what happened between them?"

Wen Liang subconsciously understood that Fu Yue was referring to what happened to Chu Siyi.

She had heard Jiang Mu mention it once, but didn't know the details.

Fu Yue didn't wait for her to answer. He looked out the window and recalled, "At that time, A Zheng had just joined the company for an internship. He was busy with studies and work and neglected Chu Siyi. The two had an argument. Chu Siyi felt wronged and ran out crying. A Zheng didn't chase her. It wasn't until Chu Siyi's friend called that A Zheng knew Chu Siyi was missing."

"Soon he received a message from the kidnappers demanding a ransom. The kidnappers were after him. Perhaps if he had just handed over the ransom, Chu Siyi would have been safe. However, you know A Zheng's temper. He doesn't like being threatened. He called the police, and somehow the kidnappers found out..."

So the kidnappers used violence against Chu Siyi.

So this is the truth of the matter.

Wen Liang's expression was a little moved.

It is understandable that his loved one would feel guilty and distressed because he was kidnapped and suffered misfortune due to his own mistakes in handling the situation, and then developed a mental illness.

Fu Yue is a descendant of the Fu family. He grew up in a wealthy family and had everything he needed except the love of his parents. Fu Zheng could never make up for this!

But Chu Siyi’s case is different.

As long as Fu Zheng is with Chu Siyi, he can make up for the harm that incident caused to Chu Siyi.

So he made a promise to Chu Siyi, promising to be responsible for her...

If she were Fu Zheng, her way of handling things might be similar to Fu Zheng's.

But understanding doesn't mean her heart can return to the way it was before.

It only means relief, that they are not destined to be together, and that... they should let go and be well.

Blame it on fate being too coincidental.

That night, by some coincidence, she, a girl who could only look up to Fu Zheng from afar, had the opportunity to get close to Fu Zheng and even marry him.

At that time, Fu Zheng had been single for more than a year, and she didn't know what had happened between him and Chu Siyi.

She thought that what happened between him and Chu Siyi was a thing of the past.

So, she faced the sunshine and grasped the opportunity in her hands.

I thought this was fate's gift to her.

But only now did she realize that it was just a trick played by fate on her!

The thought of divorce has never been so clear at this moment!

Let's stop here.

Let him fulfill his promise while she lives her peaceful life.

A marriage does not necessarily end with a grand and violent storm, nor does it necessarily end with heart-wrenching pain. It may also end on a calm noon, at an unexpected and appropriate time, when the pages of the book suddenly turn to the end.

The ending of the story actually had signs long ago: beginning, development, climax, ending...

Only those who read it, bear witness.

"Aliang, if you can't live with him, just divorce him."
