Seventy-three stars
She stopped in her tracks for a moment and stood still.
But the sound behind me has not ended yet.
He seemed to still be smiling, and said uncertainly, "Good night, ex-wife?"
When the sound stopped, she turned around in shock.
But the other party did not intend to give her the chance to ask questions. He had already returned to the car, closed the windows, and left her sight.
She seemed to be still in shock and didn't even know how she walked the rest of the way.
When she got home, she slumped on the sofa, frowned for a moment, and began to ask Baidu questions with a serious expression.
The answer I got was: divorce requires both husband and wife to go to the marriage registration office together to apply for divorce registration.
Her head suddenly started buzzing, but she didn't give up and went to the China Marriage Network to check her marital status. After seeing the two eye-catching "married" on it, her expression could almost be described as wonderful.
In other words, after all this time, legally speaking, she is still his wife.
Lin Tang deeply realized what it meant that people would really smile when they were speechless.
She leaned back, her fingers tightly gripping her phone. Somehow, she seemed less speechless, and even felt a strange...joy.
wrong.
The Feng family has so many rules and regulations, isn't this just walking into a tiger's mouth?
She should be angry.
As she closed her eyes and tried to adjust her mood, her cell phone suddenly rang.
I glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Zhao Yingxun. As soon as I picked up the phone, I heard a voice from the other end: "Hey, are you home?"
Lin Tang nodded.
"Is your ex-husband with you?" Zhao Yingxun asked.
She did not hide the fact that she had signed the divorce agreement with Feng Chibai from him, but she did not tell him the reason behind this marriage.
Facing his question at this moment, she suddenly became a little uncertain: "Yes... and no, now it seems that he can't be considered my ex-husband."
"What the hell?" Zhao Yingxun immediately raised a question upon hearing this, but didn't think deeply about it. "Why are you all saying this? If you both don't admit that the other is your ex, then why don't you just get back together?"
Lin Tang frowned: "All? What does that mean?"
Zhao Yingxun's brain was slow, so he just blurted out whatever was asked, confessing everything at once: "I went to Mr. Feng to solicit investment a while ago, but it wasn't as smooth as the first time. He didn't seem too keen, so I thought I'd use your connections. After all, you're his ex-wife, so there's at least some affection. But he told me you weren't his ex-wife."
So he actually knew it all along, but just didn't tell her. She gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Very good."
When anger arises, it is normal to feel this way.
"What's good?" Zhao Yingxun still didn't understand.
Lin Tang narrowed his eyes and said, "It's been set up by the capitalists. What a... evil capitalist."
Although Zhao Yingxun still didn't understand, he suddenly remembered something and fell silent for a moment. After a long moment, he said guiltily, "I forgot to tell you, there's something even more sinister."
Anyway, she is still a married woman, and she doesn't think anything can compare to this, so she told him to speak with confidence.
"I accidentally let it slip." Although Lin Tang told him to speak freely, he was still a little panicked. He hesitated for a long time before continuing, "About you asking me to borrow money. Then he said that if you want him to agree to sign, you must allow him to return the 100,000 yuan to me on your behalf first."
Before leaving for Country R, she needed to exchange enough currency for emergency expenses in a foreign country because she didn't know when the project would end. However, she didn't have enough money in her account at the time, so she had to borrow some from Zhao Yingxun and then pay him back slowly after returning to China.
Just looking at the current situation, she couldn't calm down and asked, "Then what?"
"Now the debt has been transferred, you owe him 100,000 yuan." Zhao Yingxun said timidly.
Lin Tang laughed in anger. Just as he was about to speak, the other party seemed to have expected it and said casually, "Hey, hey, hey, someone is looking for me. I'll hang up first."
Then he hung up the call without hesitation.
As soon as she returned home, she was bombarded with breaking news one after another, causing her head to suddenly ache.
So insidious, so insidious.
She felt a little difficulty breathing and pinched her philtrum urgently.
After her mood slowly calmed down, she opened the chat interface with Feng Chibai, clicked the chat box, but didn't know what to send.
Her irritability rose again, so she simply turned off the screen and threw the phone aside.
Out of sight, out of mind.
*
For several days, the two of them tacitly avoided each other. Lin Tang was still angry, so she didn't want to talk to him. But she didn't know what the other person was thinking. He was the one who signed the divorce agreement first. Now that he knew the divorce hadn't been finalized, he wasn't anxious at all.
It's not a solution to just leave it alone like this. After thinking it over, Lin Tang took the initiative to contact him.
Sui Sui: [About divorce, how about we talk about it sometime?]
The person on the other end seemed to be free at the moment, and the message was replied very quickly.
Feng Chibai: [Are you free after get off work today?]
Sui Sui: [Yes]
Feng Chibai: [Okay, I'll ask my assistant to pick you up]
Sui Sui: [? ]
Feng Chibai: [I have a meeting soon and can't be there in person. I apologize first.]
Lin Tang typed "That's not what I meant" in the dialog box, paused, and then chose to delete all.
It doesn't matter, we can chat anywhere.
After get off work, Lin Tang packed up his things and walked out of the institute's gate. Feng Chibai's assistant was indeed waiting there.
When he saw Lin Tang, he smiled at her respectfully and made a "please" gesture, indicating her to get in the car.
Ying Yu happened to come out and see this scene. He was shocked at first, but then he suddenly realized and said to Lin Tang: "Boss, you are finally willing to make peace."
He hadn't seen the assistant a few days ago, and he was feeling confused. Although they had quarreled, it was impossible that they hadn't planned to reconcile for more than eight months. But now it seemed that he had worried for nothing.
Lin Tang glanced at him, too lazy to explain, and gritted his teeth and said, "Stop talking."
After getting in the car, she leaned against the window idly, with some strange emotions spreading in her heart, as if she was not ready to meet him yet.
She stared out the window, her mind suddenly reminiscing about what Zhao Yingxun had told her, and curiosity piqued. She curled her lips, leaned forward, poked her assistant's arm, and asked, "Hey, I heard Feng Chibai is going through a rebellious phase. If we fail to reach an agreement, will he hit me?"
The assistant's breath hitched, and he smiled awkwardly before replying, "Director Feng is very civilized, especially to you."
Lin Tang frowned. This didn't match what Zhao Yingxun said, so he pressed on, "Then why does he...keep getting into trouble? This isn't like him."
But the assistant was very tight-lipped. Even though he knew the specific reason, he didn't intend to reveal it without Feng Chibai's permission. "We can't ask about this. But if you're really curious, you can ask in person. I believe Chairman Feng won't hide anything from you."
"You won't hide anything from me?" Lin Tang sneered as if he heard a joke.
Knowing that he had no intention of telling her, she sat back in her seat obediently.
After arriving at Luochen, Feng Chibai was still in a meeting, so the assistant took Lin Tang to his office first and asked her to wait there for a while.
Everything here is almost the same as it was before in Yunhe, and it even seems like it was intentionally decorated in the same way. At first glance, one can't help but think that this person is still a nostalgic person.
Her eyes inadvertently turned to the side, and she suddenly noticed that on the row of shelves connected to the ceiling behind the desk, there was a sand painting on the largest grid. Because it was powered on, the scenery on the painting was continuously flowing.
She felt vaguely that it looked familiar and couldn't help but move closer to take a look.
As she walked up to it, her memory became clearer and clearer, and she realized that this was the aurora she had photographed, now materialized before her eyes, endless and within reach.
She opened her mouth in shock, her fingertips trembling as she tried to touch it. After she touched the aurora that was glowing green, the sound of a door opening suddenly rang out behind her.
She subconsciously withdrew her hand, and the moment she turned around, she saw Feng Chibai walking towards her. The distance between them kept closing, until they were separated by a table, and she heard a voice: "Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Lin Tang had already hidden her expression. She replied calmly, "No, I just got here."
"Let's sit down and talk. Just sit there." Feng Chibai said as he sat down opposite her.
Lin Tang glanced at the cushioned chair beside him but didn't sit down immediately: "This is your office chair. It's not suitable for me to sit on it."
Feng Chibai's eyes darkened, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Lin Tang, have we become so unfamiliar with each other?"
There was a hint of reluctance and loneliness in his words, which made it sound as if she had done something wrong to him. His sense of morality suddenly came to his head, and Lin Tang sat down obediently.
After all, she came here with a purpose this time, so she didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "So, does this mean our marriage status has to stay like this forever?"
Feng Chibai suddenly fell silent, but stared at her intently, as if trying to see something through her eyes.
After a long while, he opened his thin lips and said, "Do you still remember the question I asked you in the car a few days ago?"
Lin Tang was stunned, his memory starting to resurface. The two of them hadn't spoken much that day, and the only question he had seemed to be asking was:
——Have you met anyone you like during this period?
She frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "What does this have to do with that?"
Feng Chibai sighed, his chest rising and falling slightly, as if he were mentally preparing himself. Once he was fully prepared, he closed his eyes and looked directly at her again, not intending to hide anything. "If you have someone you're planning to date, and it's not me, then we can set a time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau together."
"But if you don't, then I don't want to leave."
He pursed his lips tightly. Once he expressed his thoughts, there would be no more waves in his heart.
"Now, the choice is yours, and I await your reply," he said calmly.
