Chapter 470 I Regret
He finally signed his name on the document.
The two words "Li Zheng" were written in a flamboyant style.
It marked the end of their marriage.
Li Zheng's hand trembled slightly when he finished signing.
He looked up at He Yunlan, but was met with a pair of red eyes.
Li Zheng was stunned, "You..."
The next second, He Yunlan immediately lowered her head and snatched the document from the table.
"It seems like you really can't wait to divorce me, just to help your new lover get the upper hand!"
He Yunlan's lips curled up into a sarcastic smile, "You're an old man, and you don't even know how to be ashamed."
Li Zheng was completely baffled. "When did I have a new love? He Yunlan, you were the one who filed for divorce, and now you're blaming me?"
"What are you still pretending to be?" He Yunlan had never realized how shameless this guy was before. "You've already bought a house and a car for your mistress, and you still have to pretend to be a gentleman? Don't you think you're being hypocritical?"
"When did I..." Li Zheng said halfway, as if he suddenly remembered something, his expression became very strange, "You, what did you hear?"
"Okay, I wanted to save your face, but since you are shameless, why should I hide it for you?"
He Yunlan said this and took out a stack of photos from her bag and threw them in front of him.
Li Zheng looked down, his expression becoming grim. "So you think this is my lover, and you're going to convict me without even asking me!"
"The evidence is right in front of you, do you still need to ask?" He Yunlan sneered angrily, "You dare not admit it, right? You're an old man, old enough to be someone's father. Isn't it just relying on the money in your hands to trick young girls into falling for you? Why would I insist on marrying someone like you in the first place?"
"You insist on marrying me?" Li Zheng seemed to have heard something funny. "Weren't you forced to choose a business marriage with me? Now you're talking so high-soundingly, but who are you trying to please?"
"I was forced into a corner. Do you think I really had no choice? I'm the daughter of the He family after all. I have the ability and means to do so. If I don't want to marry a man, I won't compromise even if they hold a knife to my neck!
I chose you because I was blinded by your appearance and gentlemanly demeanor and felt that you were someone worthy of entrusting my life to, so I agreed to marry you!
At this point, He Yunlan simply gave up.
After holding it in for so many years, she had had enough.
Since she's divorced anyway, she doesn't need to pretend to be virtuous, dignified or decent.
Li Zheng was stunned on the spot.
It was like suddenly receiving an unexpected surprise, and I was completely confused and at a loss.
"But you have always acted reluctant over the years..." he tried to refute the other party.
He Yunlan's eyes were red as she asked, "Then who told you not to like me? Do you really want me to actively and enthusiastically please you, only for you to see through my thoughts and then ridicule and mock me behind my back?"
Li Zheng retorted almost subconsciously: "Who said I don't like you! Please don't make assumptions, okay? I thought you were forced to marry me and didn't want to see me at all, so I tried to reduce my presence and ran out every day to avoid conflicts.
If I had known this earlier, would I have been so stupid?"
He Yunlan was stunned for a moment.
What did he say?
Didn't he say he didn't like her?
But...all these years, they have always treated each other with respect and never expressed their feelings to each other. Did they just miss each other like this?
He Yunlan found it ridiculous and didn't want to accept the truth. She retorted, "You like me? How could you possibly like me? Even if you did, you already have a mistress. Your love is just so cheap!"
That’s right!
They have now reached the point of divorce.
There is no point in regretting the past anymore.
Li Zheng then remembered the key point of this divorce and quickly explained: "I don't have a mistress. That girl is..."
"Uncle." Just then, the girl's clear voice came from the door.
The two people in the room turned around at the same time.
Then I saw Li Beiting and Lin Xiaotang walking in.
"Are you guys arguing about me?" Lin Xiaotang walked forward with her eyes blinking, a look of confusion on her face.
"Uncle?" He Yunlan repeated the word in disbelief.
"Hello, aunt. I'm Lin Xiaotang. I don't know if you still remember me. My mother said that I came to the Li family several times when I was a child. I recognized Brother Beiting the first time I saw him just now." Lin Xiaotang smiled brightly at her.
He Yunlan looked confused and subconsciously looked at Li Zheng for confirmation.
"Xiaotang is my cousin's daughter. Her husband passed away early, and she managed to support her daughter's studies abroad. Due to some paperwork, my cousin couldn't use her own money to buy her a house, so she asked me to help."
Li Zheng was rarely patient and explained to her seriously, "During this period, I took Xiaotang out for two meals and helped her buy a few clothes. Is there anything else you want to know?"
He Yunlan's cheeks gradually turned red under his gaze, and she felt a little embarrassed. "No, no, I, I just didn't expect..."
"They came to our house ten years ago. My cousin's husband had just passed away at that time, and you gave Xiaotang a string of beads that you had obtained from a temple."
After he was reminded of this, the memories of the past were completely revived in his mind.
He Yunlan finally remembered the little girl in her memory.
It’s just…girls change a lot when they grow up.
She never expected that this girl was actually a relative of the Li family.
It turns out that all the fuss was just a misunderstanding.
Because of the misunderstanding, she signed a divorce agreement with Li Zheng and expressed the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart for so many years.
The more she thought about it, the redder her cheeks became, filled with embarrassment, awkwardness, and regret.
If she had known earlier, she should have asked him face to face!
Now... the divorce papers have been signed, and she is in a dilemma.
Just when she didn't know what to do, Li Zheng suddenly stepped forward, snatched the document from her hand and tore it in half in front of her.
"I regret it!"
Li Zheng's face was stern and expressionless as he said, "I now feel that the treaty is unfair. You don't even have basic trust in me, and you misunderstood me, causing me great psychological harm."
He Yunlan felt remorse and guilt in her heart, and felt that she had really gone too far this time. "Yes, I'm sorry, I was wrong this time."
A mischievous gleam flashed in Li Zheng's eyes, but his face remained expressionless.
"Are you really reflecting on this?"
"Really!" He Yunlan nodded seriously.
Li Zheng pressed on, "Then I'll have to see how sincere you are going to be. If you behave well, I won't make a fuss about it."
He Yunlan's eyelids twitched, and she always felt as if he had dug a hole for himself to jump into.
But in the end, it was her distrust that came first, so she couldn't argue. "I understand."
