Chapter 170 Divorce

An Jingyu: "Since you can understand this, you should know how painful she is. In that case, what you did was not to save people, but to exchange one life for another. If you are unlucky, even if you lose your life, it will be useless. We met by chance, and no one owes anyone anything. Saving someone is a favor, and not saving someone is a duty. Staying alive is more important than anything else, not to mention that the person jumped into the sea on his own."

Sheng Ting's eyes turned dark. "She walked too far away. I was worried. I wanted to follow her, even if it was just to watch her from a distance."

An Jingyu: "Farewell, since she really needs some time alone, don't go against her wishes. Now she really needs to be alone for a while, just to enjoy the scenery and relax."

"I see," Sheng Ting said, "Please talk to her recently. She trusts you very much. I'm afraid she will go back to her old ways. She has been living in self-blame for so many years because of her brother's incident. She has finally gotten better. I really can't bear to see her suffer."

An Jingyu sighed, "I will say what I need to say, but this time is different. She must be really scared. She has to figure it out on her own."

Lin Su had no part in the film today. She had agreed to take Chu Shuang to the desert to watch the sunset. It was too hot during the day, so she and Chu Shuang stayed in the hotel until the afternoon.

After having dinner early and as the temperature gradually cooled down, the two rented an off-road vehicle and headed to the Taklamakan Desert.

The wind and sand were flying all along the way. Occasionally, you could see people walking on the roadside pulling camels. The crisp sound of the camel bells colliding with each other echoed between heaven and earth.

Through that sound, it seemed as if one could see the scene of Hu caravans walking on the Silk Road thousands of years ago.

Lin Su turned on the car music and sang loudly. Seeing that Chu Shuang didn't sing, he pulled her to sing along.

"Don't think about anything when you're out having fun. Be happy!"

She was so happy that even Chu Shuang was infected by her joy and sang along the way with the car window open and the wind blowing.

When they arrived at the desert, the sun was only one foot above the ground. Lin Su stuffed a combat jacket into Chu Shuang's pocket before she even got out of the car.

"Dress warmly. There's a big temperature difference between day and night. It will be even colder when the desert wind blows."

After putting on their assault suits and sunglasses, the two climbed up the sand dunes.

The sunset in the desert is a neat, full circle, the sky is colorful, and at a glance, there are thousands of sand dunes rising one after another, stretching to the end of the world with no end in sight.

The camel bells began to ring gently again. In the distance, tourists were riding camels up the mountain. When the wind blew, the fine sand from the sand dunes was blown away by the wind, leaving no trace.

The artistic conception of "a solitary smoke rising in the desert, a round setting sun over the long river" has never struck the soul so clearly.

The clouds are rising and the sky is bright, the weather is magnificent, and the sunset in the desert is so magnificent that you will be overwhelmed at first sight and will never forget it for the rest of your life. It is so stunning that it makes you want to cry.

The vast sky, the rugged land, and the eternal desert.

When people stand there, they are so small that they are not even a speck of dust.

Lin Su found that Chu Shuang was looking at the sunset in the sky calmly without blinking, and there seemed to be steam rising from her eye sockets.

That look was touching.

After silently taking a photo, she put away her phone and walked closer to Chu Shuang.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I think life is so short. Compared with this desert that has existed for millions of years, the gains and losses in life seem so insignificant."

——

Zhao Jinzhou successfully won a big order a few days ago. To celebrate, he set up a game in Lingcui Pavilion.

Sheng Ting was the last one to arrive. Zhao Jinzhou laughed at him for always being the last one to attend every party and punished him with a glass of wine.

He admitted the punishment and drank the glass without frowning. After sitting down, he didn't say much. He lit a cigarette and listened to their conversation in silence.

Although he was not usually a noisy person, anyone with a discerning eye could tell from the deep aura he exuded that he was in a bad mood.

This kind of expression is rarely seen on Sheng Ting's face.

I haven't heard about any major events happening between Sheng Corporation and the Chamber of Commerce recently.

"Where's your sister-in-law? Why don't you bring her over to play with us?"

Wei Yize asked this question straightforwardly, and everyone present clearly saw the pause that flashed across Sheng Ting's face.

Oh, about women.

Zhao Jinzhou smiled lazily, "Didn't you go on a honeymoon with your sister-in-law two days ago? Why don't you look so happy when you come back?"

Sheng Ting raised his lips lightly, "She wants to play outside for a few more days, so let me come back first."

The implication is that Hatsushimo did not come back with him.

As for why they didn't come back together, that might be interesting.

Han Zhenhao was chatting with Zhengze and didn't pay much attention to this until he heard these words and turned his gaze.

Playing with the wine glass with his fingertips, he suddenly spoke: "Since Auntie still wants to play, why didn't Uncle accompany her but came back by himself?"

Sheng Ting glanced at Han Zhenhao calmly, and said coldly, "She has her own space. I respect all her choices."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhengze changed the topic by talking about something else, and no one mentioned Shengting's matter at the dinner table anymore.

Sheng Ting's cold face is intimidating. Everyone is on good terms with each other, so it's okay to make a joke at ordinary times, but it's too immoral to rub salt into someone's wounds.

But there was a bad guy who always talked about other people's relationships when chatting with Zhao Jinzhou. One moment he talked about a high school classmate who was hospitalized after a breakup and drank too much, and the next moment he talked about a business partner whose wife wanted a divorce.

"Divorce?"

Wei Yi was a little surprised. "Isn't it just a loss of some money in an investment? Is this a divorce?"

"It was just a fuse. All the conflicts accumulated over time were the cause. His wife was already very unhappy because he was out socializing every day and neglected his family. His wife was not optimistic about his last investment and advised him for a long time, but he really lost money. This time, he did not discuss this project with his wife when he invested, and he lost money again due to bad luck. His wife was probably disappointed in him. He did not listen to her earnest advice and finally just ignored him."

"It does sound a bit tiring, but is it really necessary to get a divorce?"

"Women are very emotional. When they are disappointed enough, they will leave. Some things may sound like that to others, but only the person involved knows the bitterness and pain behind them."

The cigarette between the fingers burned to the root, and the burning and stinging sensation awakened the unconscious person.

Sheng Ting lowered his head and slowly pressed the cigarette butt into the glass jar, his slightly drooped eyelashes hiding the darkness in his eyes.

Reaching out for the wine glass, the man's fingertips trembled slightly in the dark where no one could see.

After drinking a glass of wine, my throat and heart started to burn.

The aching, swollen feeling at the tip of my heart is really uncomfortable.

Everything went out of control after hearing those two words. Before that, he was only thinking about how to make up for his mistake, but he didn't expect that if he was not careful, there might be another outcome.

divorce.

He had never thought that these two words would have anything to do with him before.

[For someone like Hatsushimo, it is not easy to turn back once they are disappointed. 】

[I've said that Hatsushimo is a person with a strong ability to heal herself. She can let go of things easily. But that doesn't mean that this process is easy for her. It's very difficult for someone who lets go easily to take something seriously. You should give her a little more sense of security and never hurt her or disappoint her.]

[You said she had a desire, something she wanted from the bottom of her heart? ]

【Don’t you know? You. 】

Thinking back to what An Jingyu had said, Sheng Ting felt more nervous than ever before.
