Chen Shujing said calmly, "I only hope that we will never see each other again."
The two went to the military base and went directly to Gu Aiguo's superior.
After Chen Shujing explained the situation, the leader just gave Gu Aiguo a deep look.
He said to Chen Shujing, "Applying for divorce is no small matter. Have you thought it through?"
"I've thought it through, sir." Chen Shujing said this with a calm expression.
"Okay, leave the application forms with me, I'll submit them. You can go back and wait for news."
Chen Shujing hadn't expected divorce to be so complicated, and tentatively asked, "How long will it take?"
"It should take three to five days! Don't worry, your divorce papers will be approved soon."
These words undoubtedly reassured Chen Shujing.
Gu Aiguo looked dejected, but no one cared what he thought throughout the whole process.
After leaving the army, what else did Gu Aiguo want to say to Chen Shujing?
Before he could even speak, Chen Shujing rode her bicycle in the opposite direction.
Along the way, Chen Shujing felt her mood improve a lot, and the pent-up frustration in her heart was swept away in an instant.
Actually, after she escaped, she never thought about getting a divorce.
Su Li asked her then how she should conduct herself after Hua Nian investigated the matter and returned to Beijing.
At that time, she was only thinking about recognizing Gu Huanian, and never thought about how to face Gu Aiguo and Chen Shuling in the future.
“Auntie, I’m being blunt. I think you can live a good life on your own. If you really can’t make it work, then get a divorce.”
When she heard these words, it was like a sudden enlightenment; she understood in an instant.
If she's uncomfortable being with them, why should she force herself?
She has wasted nineteen years of her life, and from now on, she only wants to live happily according to her own wishes.
This is why, as soon as Gu Huanian finished dealing with the matter, she wanted to return to Beijing to divorce Gu Aiguo as soon as possible.
On her way back, Chen Shujing passed through a small alley and saw a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old being surrounded by several men and women.
"Liu Ru, you shameless hussy, how dare you steal my sister Yan's man? I think you're tired of living."
"I didn't, I don't know what you're talking about? I didn't steal a man."
A short-haired girl walked up and slapped Liu Ru across the face. "You still dare to argue? You motherless slut! I clearly saw you talking to Xiao Yu under the tree outside the campus yesterday."
"You're not allowed to insult my mom. And yesterday, Xiaoyu just said his grades weren't good and he wanted me to tutor him, which I refused." Although she had good grades, Xiaoyu was, after all, a boy, and she didn't want to tutor him and cause misunderstandings. She had already refused, but these people still wouldn't let her go.
The short-haired girl continued, "You think we'll believe you just because you say that? You were grinning from ear to ear when you were with Xiaoyu, do you think we're stupid? You won't let me curse your mother, huh? I'll curse her anyway, you motherless wretch, your mother ran off with someone else and abandoned you, you little slut..."
Hearing these words, Liu Ru lost her temper and began to violently attack the girl in front of her.
"You're all dead, so hurry up and pull her away from me."
The woman touched the bloody scratches on her face left by Liu Ru, and was furious.
“You guys strip her clothes off and beat her up. I want to see if she dares to be arrogant again and try to steal my girlfriend’s boyfriend.”
Just as the group was about to make their move, Chen Shujing's car stopped.
"You lot, stop right there!"
The woman in the lead looked at Chen Shujing with disdain and said, "Auntie, I advise you to mind your own business, lest you get yourself into trouble."
“If you don’t want to go to jail, I advise you all to leave now, or you won’t be able to leave later. The people who came with me have already reported it to the police. You’ve been ganging up on people and the police are probably on their way soon. None of you are going to get away.”
Chen Shujing's palms were sweating profusely. She spoke with great force, but she was actually very nervous inside.
Fortunately, these people were junior high school students from the surrounding area, and they panicked as soon as they heard that the police were coming.
One of the girls said, "Sister Na, my mom should be calling me home for dinner by now, I'll go first."
Seeing this, the others chimed in, "Yeah! My mom should be calling me home to do the laundry, I'm off too."
"Sister Na, my water tank is empty. I need to go home and fetch some water."
...
Soon most of the people had left. Zhang Na stamped her foot and said, "You... she was just trying to scare us! Don't leave!"
Seeing that everyone had left, Zhang Na didn't dare to stay any longer. She glared at Chen Shujing and ran away.
Seeing that they had left, Chen Shujing quickly went over and helped Liu Ru up from the ground; "Little girl, are you alright!"
Liu Ru looked at the woman in front of her gratefully and said, "Thank you, I'm alright."
Chen Shujing saw that there were still handprints on her face and her clothes were torn and messy.
"Pack your clothes, I'll take you home."
"No need, Auntie, I can manage on my own."
"What if you run into that group of people again later?"
Liu Ru remained silent.
"Get in! I'll take you home."
Without further hesitation, Liu Ru packed her clothes and got into the back seat of Chen Shujing's car.
Following the little girl's directions, Chen Shujing led her to a courtyard, where she discovered that they were actually neighbors; the little girl's house was right next to hers.
Before the girl left, Chen Shujing comforted her, saying, "You need to go back and talk to your family about this, lest those people come after you again."
If she hadn't passed by there, who knows what might have happened to her?
The little girl nodded obediently; "Thank you, Auntie."
Chen Shujing waved her hand, "It's nothing."
Just as they were about to leave, the gate to the little girl's house opened.
The man who came out looked somewhat familiar to Chen Shujing. Wasn't this the man who helped her kick him away that day?
When the man came out, he saw that his daughter's face was red and swollen from being beaten, and her mouth was cut.
He asked with concern, "Xiaoru, who slapped you in the face?"
Liu Ru shook her head, choosing not to say anything for fear of worrying her father. Her father was already busy enough, and she didn't want him to worry about something like this. "I'm fine, I just accidentally fell."
Chen Shujing never expected that this young girl would not tell her family anything.
She couldn't hold back any longer and said to the man, "Your daughter was beaten up, and by more than one person. If I hadn't arrived in time, she would have been..."
Chen Shujing was too embarrassed to say that Liu Ru had almost been stripped naked.
But she paused here, which caused Liu Wenqing to misunderstand.
I thought something terrible had almost happened to my daughter.
"Xiaoru, talk to your dad and tell him what really happened."
