Shi Wan frowned: "I didn't... act."
Before Shi Wan could finish speaking, her phone rang, interrupting her. She took out her phone, and the screen displayed the contact name "Divorce Lawyer".
The contact information for Sikong Jingyu's divorce lawyer was saved by Shi Wan after she sent the message last night. Shi Wan pursed her lips, already anticipating what the lawyer wanted to say when he called her now.
"Excuse me, Mr. Sikong, I need to take this call." Shi Wan hurriedly left these words and walked to the side to answer the phone.
Just as she brought the phone to her ear, she heard a gentle, polite male voice on the other end: "Hello, is this Ms. Shi?"
Shi Wan nodded: "Yes, that's me."
"Hello Ms. Shi, my surname is Xu, and I am Mr. Sikong's divorce lawyer. We were supposed to meet last night to discuss your divorce with Mr. Sikong in detail, but unfortunately we couldn't meet. I am calling now to ask if you have time to discuss the divorce tonight?"
"I'm sorry, I can't tonight, I'm on the night shift."
Attorney Xu seemed unsurprised by Shi Wan's words. Although her attitude was polite and gentle, her words revealed a firm and resolute tone: "I'm sorry to bother you, but Mr. Sikong has put pressure on me. I must settle the divorce as soon as possible. If it's convenient, may I come to your workplace to find you now?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Wan frowned. It turned out that Si Kong Jingyu was so eager to get a divorce. However, if she brought a divorce lawyer to the hospital, it would not be good for her or the hospital. If someone saw her, she would have to spend time and effort explaining the reasons for the divorce. It would be better to keep the divorce a secret and maintain the status quo. In any case, it didn't matter whether she had a husband or not for the past few years. Even if her husband never showed up, it wouldn't matter.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Wan said in a deep voice, "Put the divorce agreement on the coffee table at home. I'll sign it when I get home from my night shift tomorrow morning."
"But we haven't agreed on the specifics of the divorce or the division of property yet, so I'm afraid..."
“I don’t want anything,” Shi Wan said.
"Ms. Shi, do you mean you're willing to... leave with nothing?" Attorney Xu asked uncertainly.
"Yes, please put the divorce agreement on the coffee table tonight. You can pick it up tomorrow at noon. I will put the signed divorce agreement on the coffee table then."
"Okay." After hesitating for a moment, Attorney Xu finally agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Shi Wan turned around but almost bumped into Si Kong Jingyu's chest. She quickly took two steps back to steady herself, her face showing a hint of panic and wariness.
I wonder if Sikong Jingyu heard anything?
"Mr. Sikong, why are you eavesdropping on other people's phone calls?"
Sikong Jingyu scoffed coldly, put his hands in his pockets, and looked down at Shi Wan with a disdainful air: "Who was eavesdropping? It's just that you were speaking too loudly. I heard it even if I didn't want to."
Shi Wan was too lazy to argue with Sikong Jingyu.
After a pause, Sikong Jingyu continued, "You really... got married?"
Shi Wan nodded.
Sikong Jingyu pulled his hand out of his pocket, still in the same position, and uttered a few words: "Are you getting a divorce?"
Shi Wan pursed her lips: "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Mr. Sikong."
"Oh."
For some reason, hearing that the woman in front of him was going through a divorce made Sikong Jingyu feel inexplicably happy.
“I’m also going through a divorce. If you need my help, I can recommend my divorce lawyer to you.”
Shi Wan paused for a moment, then looked up to meet Sikong Jingyu's deep, dark eyes: "I don't need it."
Sikong Jingyu curled his lips into a wicked smile and said, "I just heard you say you wanted to leave with nothing. Only a stupid woman would give up everything. How about I recommend my lawyer to you? He's one of the best in the divorce world. As long as you cooperate with him, I guarantee he can get you the best possible outcome..."
"Mr. Sikong."
Shi Wan interrupted Sikong Jingyu, her expression serious and earnest: "Thank you for your kindness, but I really don't need it. I am capable of supporting myself."
Shi Wan's persistence made Sikong Jingjing look at her with a slightly different eye, observing her with great interest.
In his circle, he had never seen a woman as determined and stubborn as Shi Wan. Many couples, when divorcing, wished they could take all of each other's assets.
"You really don't want it?"
Shi Wan looked at Sikong Jingyu and asked seriously, "Put yourself in my shoes. If it were you, would you be willing to give me half of your property? You probably wouldn't want someone to sit back and enjoy half of your property, would you?"
As she finished speaking, Shi Wan smiled faintly, a smile tinged with bitter mockery.
Sikong Jingyu stared at Shi Wan, unusually serious about her words. If it were her...
He probably doesn't want a divorce anymore.
However, this is impossible.
Sikong Jingyu was very curious, "Why did you want a divorce?"
Shi Wan looked at Sikong Jingyu with complicated emotions in her eyes. He was the one who wanted to divorce her, and now he was actually asking her why she wanted a divorce?
Shi Wan lowered her eyes and said in a calm voice, "He wants a divorce."
"reason."
Sikong Jingyu pressed for an answer.
I didn't want to answer that evening.
He planned to bypass Sikong Jingyu and return to his office, but after taking only two steps, he was blocked by Sikong Jingyu again.
Shi Wan frowned: "If I tell you the reason, will you stop following me, Mr. Sikong?"
"Tell me about it," Sikong Jingyu said in a lazy and casual tone.
Shi Wan took a deep breath and slowly said, "He and I were betrothed when we were children. He was not satisfied with the arrangement made by his elders, so he went abroad on the day we got our marriage certificate four years ago. He recently returned to China, and the first thing he did was to divorce me. Do you understand what I'm saying, Mr. Sikong?"
As Shi Wan recounted her four-year marriage to Sikong Jingyu, facing the person in question, she wasn't sure if her tone carried any accusation or grievance, but she was undeniably exhausted.
"So, that night was your first time." Sikong Jingyu's gaze fell on Shi Wan's face.
Shi Wan bit her lip and looked at Sikong Jingyu, suddenly feeling powerless: "That's not the point."
The key question is, doesn't Sikong Jingyu feel that her experiences are highly similar to his own?
Forget it, did she really expect Sikong Jingyu to recognize her?
Let's just keep the status quo and get a smooth divorce by hiding our identities. If Sikong Jingyu finds out that she is his nominal wife, who knows how he will retaliate? Shi Wan doesn't have the extra energy to deal with him.
"Just tell me, yes or no."
Shi Wan neither admitted nor denied it, but said, "Mr. Sikong, you just said that you are going through a divorce, which means that you are not divorced yet. That night you spent the night with a strange woman other than your wife, which can be considered an affair. So please don't mention that night again. If possible, I hope we will never see each other again."
"What do you mean?" Sikong Jingyu's face instantly darkened. This time, he clearly felt that this woman was truly avoiding him at all costs.
