"Lin Feng, Lin Feng, I have a headache..."
In the dim room, Su Ling kicked off the quilt and turned over with difficulty. His fingers kept groping around next to him, but found nothing. He opened his eyes sleepily and saw with the help of the small lamp on the bedside that there was no one next to him.
He forgot again.
Lin Feng hasn't been home for almost half a month.
Disappointed, he withdrew his hand and placed it on his forehead.
So hot!
He has a fever.
Su Ling had a dry mouth, a swollen and sore throat, and his whole body felt weak. His eyes were blurry, probably because the fever was too severe. He also had tinnitus, heavy breathing, and coughed twice. He felt very uncomfortable.
After lying on the bed for a while, he struggled to stand up and crawled to the bedside, wanting to pour himself a glass of warm water. However, as soon as his hand touched the glass, it slipped, and the glass tilted and fell from the bedside table to the wooden floor, breaking with a "crack".
Su Ling stared blankly at the fragments on the floor, his eyes slowly turning red.
If it was when he and Lin Feng had just gotten married, if he felt thirsty at night, he wouldn't need to get up to pour water. He could just lie in Lin Feng's broad and warm arms and say coquettishly that he was thirsty. No matter how sleepy Lin Feng was, he would get up and pour him water.
It is said that marriage is the grave of love. He and Lin Feng did not even reach the seven-year itch. It took only three years for them to go from the passionate period to the cold period.
Su Ling didn't know what the problem between him and Lin Feng was. It seemed that one day, he suddenly realized with shock that Lin Feng was often away on business trips, and he was the only one facing the cold home, sitting alone at the dining table to eat, and no one hugged him or stayed close to him when he slept at night. Even the things between husband and wife became dull, from three times a week to once a month.
Fever makes people fragile. Su Ling bit her lip and tried hard to hold back her tears.
He sniffed his sore nose, picked up the phone on the bedside table, rubbed his eyes to wake himself up, opened the recent calls in the address book, stared at the number first on the list, and with trembling fingertips, the call was dialed in an instant.
A private hospital in Y City, L Country——
In the silent corridor, the phone suddenly rang, which was particularly harsh. The man in a suit who was leaning against the wall and staring nervously at the door of the operating room was startled and almost threw the bloody phone in his hand.
Looking down at the caller ID jumping on the screen, the man in the suit hung up without hesitation.
The man in the windbreaker standing next to him frowned and asked, "Why did you hang up?"
The man in the suit said seriously, "Given Mr. Lin's current condition, this must be kept confidential."
The man in the windbreaker pinched his brows, looking tired: "Turn off the phone for now, and wait until Mr. Lin wakes up."
The man in the suit responded and pressed the power button.
"Hello! The number you dialed is turned off. Please call again later."
The electronic voice kept echoing in the silent room. Su Ling stared at the phone in a daze, unable to control himself any longer, and tears fell on the screen "plop, plop".
On the busy streets of the city, Lin Zhou was driving while stealing glances at Su Ling who was sitting in the passenger seat.
Su Ling was wearing a high-necked beige windbreaker and had a small ponytail. His bony white fingers supported his delicate chin. His eyes were slightly closed, and his eyelashes were long and thick, trembling slightly like two fans. He stared out the window in confusion, his expression blank, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Drive carefully and don't look around." Su Ling turned his clear, glass-like eyes and looked at Lin Zhou. His voice was pleasant, pure and clear, like a drizzle in spring, light and gentle.
When he encountered a red light, Lin Zhou stopped the car, put the car in neutral, put his hands on the steering wheel, turned his head and stared at Su Ling.
"Have you really decided?" he asked again.
Su Ling pursed her lips, and an unprecedented determination appeared on her beautiful face. "Yes."
Lin Zhou stared at the worry between his brows and sighed, "But... a backward place like the countryside is completely incomparable to a big city. You're going there without any preparation. Can you adapt?"
Su Ling said: "Even if you can't adapt, you have to learn to adapt."
Lin Zhou tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and asked, "You and Lin Feng are a legally married couple. Even if you divorce, you have to carefully account for your assets. You only took 10 million. What's the difference between that and leaving the house empty-handed?"
The Lin Group is one of the best in Country Z. Lin Feng is worth hundreds of billions, and Su Ling only gets 10 million, which is a drop in the bucket. It's a huge loss.
Su Ling touched the diamond watch on his left wrist and said quietly, "Lin Feng made the money. I've been a freeloader for three years, so ten million is a lot."
Lin Zhou disagreed, "You can't say that. After we get married, no matter how much money he makes, it all belongs to the marital property. If not tens of billions, at least tens of billions, right? Otherwise, how will you guarantee your life in the future? You and the Su family have... severed ties, and your money is dwindling day by day. How many years can ten million last you?"
In the past, Su Ling was desperate to be with Lin Feng. The Su family said that if she dared to marry a man, she would never be allowed to return to the Su family. Su Ling was determined to give up her status as the heir of the Su family, picked up her luggage, and got into Lin Feng's car to leave the Su family.
However, Lin Feng, as the head of the Lin Group, did not hold a wedding banquet or issue a press release. He picked a day and took Su Ling to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate, and they officially got together.
After marriage, Su Ling lived a pampered life as a full-time homemaker. In his spare time, he painted and wrote. As a top student at the Academy of Fine Arts, his Chinese painting and calligraphy were both exceptionally talented. One of his paintings of orchids and grass fetched over a million yuan at auction. However, painting was a drain on his inspiration. If his work wasn't good, he would tear it up rather than sell it at a low price.
Lin Zhou and Su Ling are classmates and his only good friends. After receiving the call early this morning, he drove over without stopping. When he saw the divorce agreement on the table, he widened his eyes in disbelief.
How could this loving couple, who were like a couple in heaven, end up getting divorced?
"Ten million is something an average person might not be able to spend in a lifetime." Su Ling pointed to the green light ahead and reminded Lin Zhou, "Stop daydreaming and drive."
The car behind honked its horn urgently, and Lin Zhou quickly shifted gears and stepped on the accelerator. The car successfully passed the intersection and drove onto Airport Avenue.
"Are you an ordinary person?" Lin Zhou took the opportunity to glance at Su Ling's brand-name windbreaker.
Materially, Lin Feng never treated Su Ling badly, providing him with everything from food, clothing, housing, and transportation. He even let him spend as he pleased with his secondary bank card. After Su Ling severed ties with the Su family, Su Ling and Lin Feng were together, never suffering a hardship and still living a life of luxury.
He is handsome, noble, elegant, and talented. He is a true nobleman, but a little spoiled in nature. Lin Zhou is worried that he will face many difficulties if he lives alone in the countryside.
Su Ling bit her lip lightly, her dark eyes filled with stubbornness. "Xiao Zhou, I have to go."
Because he was afraid. If he stayed at home any longer, he would not only suffer from depression, but also turn love into hate.
He had a high fever the night before yesterday and forced himself to take antipyretics. The next day, he felt weak all over and couldn't get out of bed. When the nanny learned that he was sick at night, she was very anxious and called a taxi to take him to the hospital.
Su Ling was lying alone in bed, receiving an IV drip and listening to the nanny's nagging, when he suddenly realized something.
No matter how unforgettable love is, it will fade away with the passage of time. When the passion disappears, the bond between the two people will also disappear.
The marriage certificate has become a bondage. Rather than meeting each other without knowing each other, it is better to part ways amicably and forget each other.
Lin Zhou drove steadily on the highway, maintaining a speed of 100 yards.
"Is your second grandfather's will reliable?" Lin Zhou asked.
"It should be reliable." Su Ling said.
Half a month ago, he received a call from a lawyer in H City who said he had a will. His second grandfather had died unexpectedly and left behind a legacy, which was designated to be inherited by Su Ling.
This second grandfather really existed. He was the grandfather's cousin and had always lived in the countryside. When Su Ling was five or six years old, he went there with his father for a trip and met the second grandfather once.
Two days ago, Su Ling had no interest in the inheritance of his second grandfather. Now, he can't wait to fly to H City and relax in the countryside.
As someone who was kicked out of the Su family, he had nowhere to go after the divorce. This will from his second grandfather was a timely relief, giving him a way out.
Seeing that Su Ling had made up his mind, Lin Zhou couldn't persuade him anymore.
"The countryside isn't as convenient as the city. If you really can't make it, be sure to call me and I'll arrange accommodation for you."
"Thank you." Su Ling said gratefully.
After getting married, he had fewer and fewer friends, but Lin Zhou was the only one he kept in touch with. As long as he received a call, he would come without saying a word, and this time he helped a lot.
"What's our relationship? Do I need to thank you?" Lin Zhou raised his lips. "You, on the other hand, trust me too much. Your bank card with 10 million yuan is in my name!"
Su Ling glanced at the diamond ring on his hand, shook his head and smiled: "You and President Fu are worth tens of billions together, how could you covet my money."
His new mobile phone number and new bank card both used Lin Zhou's ID card. He knew that Lin Feng was very capable and had a way to find out where he was. Since they were going to divorce, he might as well cut off all ties.
As the car approaches the toll booth, it slows down and queues up for a short drive.
Lin Zhou sighed softly, "If you don't have enough money, just ask me."
Su Ling frowned and grumbled dissatisfiedly: "Expenses are low in the countryside, so it really doesn't cost much. As long as you lower your quality of life, you can still live. I didn't bring any of the expensive custom-made clothes in the closet. I bought this windbreaker two years ago."
It took him a lot of effort to pack his luggage.
He sent the nanny home last night and packed his things himself this morning, making the room a mess, but he managed to pick out some cheap, low-end old clothes and stuff them into his suitcase.
It is too troublesome to maintain custom-made brand-name clothes, so it is right not to bring them. It saves a lot of dry cleaning fees.
Lin Zhou stepped on the brake with his right foot and drove slowly. When he heard Su Ling's words, the corners of his mouth twitched.
His innocent and simple friend was completely unaware that his outfit today was worth a million.
Lin Zhou coughed lightly and said, "Don't treat yourself too badly."
"Well, no." Su Ling took a deep breath and exhaled the depression in his chest. "Express delivery is so developed now, online shopping is very convenient. I can buy clothes on Taobao."
Tbao?
Is my quality of life declining too quickly? It would be too unfair to myself to fall off a cliff.
Lin Zhou said, "As I said before, if you need anything, just give me a call."
Su Ling said hesitantly: "We contact each other too frequently. I'm afraid Lin Feng will... cause trouble for you."
Lin Zhou raised his eyebrows and patted his chest in a righteous manner: "Don't worry, I will absolutely keep my mouth shut and won't reveal a single word."
Su Ling said gratefully: "Thank you."
Two hours later, Su Ling, pushing four large suitcases with great effort, stood at the exit of H City Airport, looking around.
"Hello, are you Mr. Su?" A strange man's voice sounded beside him.
Su Ling turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a black suit and slicked back hair looking at him hesitantly.
"Hello, are you Lawyer Zhang?" Su Ling asked politely.
A glint of surprise flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he said with a polite smile, "Yes, yes, I am Lawyer Zhang, Zhang Ping. There was a traffic jam on the road, and I'm sorry that I'm ten minutes late."
Su Ling said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, the time is just right, I have been waiting for the suitcase for more than ten minutes."
Zhang Ping looked at the four large suitcases on the ground and asked uncertainly, "Are these all your luggage?"
Su Ling nodded: "Yes, I left home in a hurry this time, so I only packed four boxes, just some clothes and some painting tools."
Only?
Zhang Ping was stunned for a moment, then smiled disguisingly, "My car is in the parking lot. Let's go over there now."
"Okay." Su Ling was unfamiliar with the place, and having a lawyer lead the way saved him a lot of trouble and effort.
Zhang Ping helped push two suitcases, while Su Ling pushed two by himself. Luckily, the airport was flat, and they made it all the way to the parking lot. However, the suitcases were so large that they could barely fit two in the trunk, and the other two had to be crammed into the back seat.
Zhang Ping was surprised to see Su Ling lift the box effortlessly and stuff it into the car.
Old Man Su's grandson is a gentle and refined man, full of the elegance of an artist, and has quite a strong hand.
To be honest, when he first saw Su Ling, he thought he had recognized the wrong person. After all, Old Man Su was a country boy, so how could he have a grandson who looked like a nobleman?
Zhang Ping has been a lawyer for twenty years and has come into contact with many people, including many from wealthy families. However, none of them is like Su Ling, who exudes the nobility of the upper class from the bottom of his heart. His handsome face is naturally carved and flawless, and his pair of clear eyes like water can make people's hearts beat fast with just a glance.
Stunningly beautiful!
This idiom popped up in Zhang Ping's mind involuntarily.
"Lawyer Zhang, the wheels of the suitcase are slightly hitting the back of the front seat. Is that okay?"
A pleasant voice rang out, and Zhang Ping suddenly came back to his senses. "It's okay, it's okay! My car is not worth much, it can withstand any tossing."
"That's good." Su Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, the two got in the car, left the airport and drove towards the city.
Lawyer Zhang was very efficient. When he arrived at the law firm, he took out the documents and asked Su Ling to sign them, and the will was established.
Looking at the contents of the will, Su Ling knew that his second grandfather had a house, ten acres of land and a mountain that had been contracted for fifty years in Xishi Village, Liuxian Town, H City.
