Xu Wan knew that Jiang Tingzhou was so smart, he must know what kind of case this was.
She thought the man would do or say something.
But the man just sat there beside her, watching her submit all the materials, go through all the procedures, and successfully file the case.
Once everything was finished, Xu Wan looked at the man who was still sitting there and said, "Alright, things are done. I'm going to pick up my daughter now."
"I'll stay with you."
The man still said the same thing.
“That’s not a good idea.” Xu Wan looked at the man. “Mr. Ryan, although I let you impersonate my daughter’s father twice, my daughter is my daughter alone. I raised her single-handedly, gave up many jobs to be with her for a long time, and there are many things I can compromise on, but not my daughter.”
Xu Wan's words were very clear.
She could give up everything, move out of her current apartment, and give up everything she had, as long as she had Xiaoxiao.
The man hummed in response and did not argue with her.
Xu Wan walked ahead, and when they arrived at the courthouse, she couldn't help but turn back to look at Jiang Tingzhou.
The man, who was in a wheelchair, could only get down using the accessible ramp next to him. However, the ramp at the court was poorly designed with a steep incline. Suggestions had been made several years ago, but unfortunately, it had not been changed.
It's okay going uphill, but it's easy to fall if you don't control your footing when going downhill.
Even though the wheelchair for men is the most advanced, it still makes it difficult to move around in a narrow, winding courthouse.
Xu Wan hesitated for a moment, then walked behind the man, grasped the handles of the wheelchair with both hands, and said, "I'll push you down."
"Thank you," the man said.
Xu Wan pushed Jiang Tingzhou to the car and watched the driver help him get in. She said, "Jiang Tingzhou, I just filed for divorce from you. You've been missing for so long, it should be approved soon. After I finish this busy period, a law firm in Nancheng tried to poach me with good offers, and I plan to reply to them soon. I'll also arrange for Xiaoxiao to transfer schools. I promise you, I won't bother you anymore, and you don't need to hide so hard. We're from different worlds to begin with. Being husband and wife is already a dream come true for me."
When Xu Wan said these words, her heart felt as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand.
The pain was so intense that even breathing was difficult.
That's not what she wanted to say.
She wanted to ask why they hadn't told her, and whether they really couldn't go back to how things were before.
But the man's behavior was already quite obvious, and if she continued to pester him, it would seem rather deliberate.
"Wanwan," Jiang Tingzhou beckoned to the woman, "come here."
"Mr. Jiang, let's get straight to the point. I suggest you keep it short. I need to pick up my daughter from school. All the other kids have their parents picking them up. It's already pitiful that she's never seen her father before. I can't let her stand alone at the kindergarten gate waiting for me."
Xu Wan stood motionless, her hands clenched tightly behind her back.
Her pride wouldn't allow her to take another step forward.
Jiang Tingzhou glanced at the front of the car. After he got in, the driver removed the ramp used for getting on and off the vehicle.
The car is still some distance from the ground.
The man barely hesitated before maneuvering his wheelchair toward the car door.
Xu Wan didn't react immediately. It wasn't until one wheel of the wheelchair was off the ground and the entire wheelchair tilted that she rushed forward, trying to catch it.
However, with the weight of the man and the wheelchair, she was unable to push the wheelchair back.
Just as the wheelchair and the man were about to crash down on him, the driver, who had rushed over from the driver's seat, caught the wheelchair.
It took the two of them to push the man's wheelchair back into the car.
Jiang Tingzhou looked at the small steps and smiled self-deprecatingly: "See? The height that you can easily step up is something I can't do without help. Before, if I wanted to hug you, I wouldn't ask you to come over; I would walk over myself. But now, if you stand there and don't move, I can't even step over such a low step."
