Chapter 18 He couldn't help but waver as soon as he got close.
Inside the traffic police station, the surveillance footage showed that Shen Qingshu had not started moving three seconds after the green light changed, and Shen Yanying did not slow down, causing a rear-end collision!
"Although the car in front started late, the car behind did not slow down in advance at the intersection, resulting in a rear-end collision due to a misjudgment. The car behind is fully responsible. You two can discuss whether to go through insurance or settle privately?" the traffic police officer said.
"Comrade, look closely, I'm injured!" Shen Yanying pointed to a small cut on his forehead and said shamelessly, "I feel dizzy and nauseous right now, I need to go to the hospital for a checkup!"
Traffic police: "Sure, but we need to get the paperwork done first."
"No, I'm about to throw up..." Shen Yanying clutched his head, looking pained. "You guys have to take me to the hospital first, otherwise if anything happens to me, you won't be able to escape responsibility!"
This is clearly an attempt to renege on the agreement!
Shen Qingshu sat to the side, observing Shen Yanying's actions with a cold eye.
He knew that Shen Yanying wasn't unable to afford the compensation; he just wanted to annoy her.
This rear-end collision was just the opening act of Shen Yanying's trickery on her...
"Since the party responsible for the accident is unwilling to cooperate, then we should proceed with the legal process."
A deep, powerful voice rang out.
Shen Qingshu was taken aback, and when she turned around, she saw Fu Siyan walking in from outside the door.
The man was tall and upright, and he strolled over to her side.
Shen Qingshu instinctively tried to stand up, but Fu Siyan gently placed his large hand on her shoulder and said, "Sit down, leave it to me."
His voice was gentle and deep, but those few words felt incredibly heavy, landing heavily on Shen Qingshu's heart.
She thought she had no more feelings for Fu Siyan, but her unsteady heartbeat at this moment still revealed her truest feelings.
It turns out that she could still lose her composure because of his small acts of care.
Shen Qingshu lowered her eyes, her hands on her knees tightening slightly, her thick eyelashes concealing the disheveled look in her eyes.
Actually, Shen Qingshu could handle this matter herself, but if Shen Yanying insisted on shirking responsibility, it would be more troublesome to deal with and would waste a lot of time.
She's having surgery tomorrow and doesn't want Shen Yanying to affect her mood anymore.
So she accepted Fu Siyan's help.
With lawyer Fu Siyan personally intervening, Shen Yanying dared not cause any more trouble and could only obediently cooperate.
In less than ten minutes, the formalities were completed, and Shen Yanying took full responsibility.
If we go through insurance, Chen Qingshu's car will be sent to a 4S shop for repairs, which will take at least a week.
After signing the document, Shen Yanying glared angrily at Shen Qingshu, then dared not look at Fu Siyan again before turning around and storming off.
After leaving the traffic police station, Shen Qingshu thanked Fu Siyan.
Fu Siyan looked at her distant yet polite attitude, his eyes flickered slightly, "You are still my wife in name only, I have no reason to watch you be bullied."
Fu Siyan has said similar things over the past five years.
When Shen Qingshu was at her wits' end due to suppression from her peers in the early days of her studio, Fu Siyan also stepped in to help her.
She was very touched at the time, naively believing that Fu Siyan actually cared about her a little.
But Fu Siyan said something similar.
The gist of it is: because they are a legally married couple and their reputations and interests are intertwined, that's why I'm helping her.
Looking at the still indifferent and aloof man in front of her, Shen Qingshu felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Even though I know I can't hold onto him, my heart is just so weak; I can't help but waver whenever I get close to him.
His small acts of charity and care were enough to shatter her feigned resolve.
This can't go on!
Suppressing the bitterness and delusions in her heart, Shen Qingshu said calmly, "Revise the agreement as soon as possible. When I return from my business trip, we'll go and complete the formalities immediately."
Fu Siyan raised an eyebrow, "Are you in such a hurry to get a divorce because of Xiao Chu?"
Shen Qingshu didn't expect him to ask that question.
She chuckled lightly, "You asked Zhou Yuchu to give me the agreement, so wouldn't it be better for me to make room for you?"
Fu Siyan narrowed his eyes, his gaze dark and unfathomable.
“Fu Siyan, our marriage was a transaction from the beginning. I believe I have fulfilled my responsibilities and obligations as a stepmother for the past five years. Now that Zhou Yuchu is back, I have returned you and Fu Siyu to their rightful owners. What else could you possibly be dissatisfied with?”
Shen Qingshu's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and her tone could even be described as extremely calm.
But only she knew that with every word she spoke, her heart was pierced, leaving gaping wounds that could never be healed.
Her vibrant, passionate blood was slowly draining away through those gaps.
No one knows how much effort she put into making herself appear so invulnerable.
“Since you’re not comfortable with this,” Fu Siyan looked at her and said in a deep voice, “then let’s revise the agreement in person.”
"In person?" Shen Qingshu asked, "At your law firm?"
"Let's go back to Nanxi Mansion," Fu Siyan said. "And while we're at it, let's find the other marriage certificate; I couldn't find it."
Shen Qingshu didn't want to go back to Nanxi Mansion. "The marriage certificate is in the bedside table."
"I've looked, but I can't find it."
“I clearly put it on my bedside table,” Shen Qingshu emphasized.
"Really, no." Fu Siyan raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I'm lying to you?"
Calm and quiet, speechless.
She didn't think Fu Siyan would lie to her about this.
He had no reason to do that.
She pursed her lips, sighed, and said, "Then let's go."
Fu Siyan opened the passenger door for her.
Shen Qingshu glanced at the script that had fallen onto the passenger seat.
It's obvious without even guessing that it belonged to Zhou Yuchu.
She pursed her lips, opened the back door herself, and bent down to get in.
Fu Siyan was silent for a moment, then closed the door and went around to the driver's seat.
The Maybach drove away.
A van quietly followed from a short distance away.
-
Twenty minutes later, the Maybach drove into the courtyard of Nanxi Mansion.
Shen Qingshu opened the door and got out of the car.
The two entered the house one after the other.
This scene was captured by a high-definition camera inside the van…
Shen Qingshu went straight to the bedroom upon entering the house and opened the bedside table drawer.
That marriage certificate is really gone!
But she clearly remembers putting her marriage certificate in this drawer before she left.
Shen Qingshu searched through the room.
Finally, it was found in the drawer of the dressing table.
Looking at the marriage certificate in her hand, Shen Qingshu was somewhat puzzled.
Could it be that she remembered it wrong?
Or perhaps Fu Siyu mischievously picked it up to play with and just casually put it here?
Shen Qingshu felt that the latter was more likely.
After all, Fu Siyu often does this kind of thing.
She took the marriage certificate, walked out of the bedroom, and went straight to the study.
He raised his hand and knocked on the study door.
Fu Siyan's voice came from inside: "Come in."
Shen Qingshu pushed open the door and walked in. "We found the marriage certificate."
She placed the marriage certificate on the desk.
Fu Siyan was typing on his computer. Upon hearing this, he stopped, glanced at the marriage certificate, and then looked up at Shen Qingshu.
"Where was it found?"
"The dressing table drawer."
Fu Siyan raised an eyebrow, "Isn't it on the bedside table?"
Shen Qingshu frowned, not wanting to be misunderstood, and explained, "I remember it was on the bedside table. Maybe Siyu took it out to play with later and put it in the wrong place."
"Siyu hasn't come back for the past few days."
Shen Qingshu: "..."
Let's just assume she misremembered!
"How's the agreement coming along?" Shen Qingshu changed the subject, saying, "Also, I don't want the Nanxi Mansion."
"Why?"
"It's too far from my studio, so it's not suitable." That's one reason, but not the whole story.
However, Shen Qingshu felt that she didn't need to explain too much to Fu Siyan.
Fu Siyan probably didn't want to know either.
"Then I'll give you the cash."
As Fu Siyan typed on the keyboard, he said, "The Nanxi Mansion will be converted into 100 million in cash. I will also give you another 100 million. This is on behalf of Siyu. You have taken care of him for five years, and he is very dependent on you. I hope that if he needs you in the future, you can still treat him as before."
Even if Fu Siyan didn't give her money, Shen Qingshu wouldn't ignore Fu Siyu when he needed her.
But since he was willing to give it, Shen Qingshu accepted it.
It's only right to do things for money, and it's better than being accused by some people in the future of using the child to cling to Fu Siyan.
After careful consideration, Chen Qingshu replied calmly, "Okay."
Fu Siyan paused for a moment while typing, then continued typing after a few seconds...
A dozen minutes later, the new divorce agreement was drafted.
Print it out, two copies.
Shen Qingshu carefully reviewed it and made all the necessary changes; the terms were all very clear.
She picked up the pen and neatly signed her name.
After signing, Shen Qingshu handed the agreement to Fu Siyan, saying, "See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau in ten days."
Fu Siyan took the agreement and looked at her: "You won't get the divorce certificate in ten days."
Shen Qingshu was taken aback. "Why?"
"There is a cooling-off period for divorce now. You write me a power of attorney, and I will handle the registration. After the cooling-off period, I will notify you to pick up the divorce certificate."
Shen Qingshu had completely lost her temper. "Fine, then it'll be a month."
The ride-hailing car I booked in advance arrived just in time.
Shen Qingshu walked out of Nanxi Mansion and got into the car.
As the ride-hailing car drove away, Fu Siyan's tall figure stood like a sturdy pine tree in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the second-floor study.
No one noticed that the high-definition camera was quietly being moved back into the van...
