Chapter 17 Take the divorce agreement to the Civil Affairs Bureau
The bathroom door slammed shut, followed immediately by Shen Qingshu's retching sound.
She vomited up all of her breakfast before she felt a little better.
The terrifying sound of vomiting came through the bathroom door.
Fu Siyu frowned and looked at Fu Siyan, asking, "Dad, why is Mom vomiting so badly? Is Mom sick?"
Fu Siyan's eyes were dark and deep. He gently rubbed Fu Siyu's head with his large hand. "She's probably been too busy and tired these past few days."
"Does that mean Mom won't be able to come see me as often these next few days?"
Fu Siyan simply said, "You can ask her yourself."
Fu Siyu sighed, muttering with some dissatisfaction, "She didn't seem this busy before. It seems like she's become really busy ever since my mother came back..."
The bathroom door opened.
I composed myself and stepped out.
Fu Siyan and Fu Siyu looked at her.
"Mom," Fu Siyu called out, his little face full of worry, "Are you alright?"
I feel much better after vomiting, but I'm still a little sleepy.
Fu Siyan looked at her, his narrow eyes with dark pupils, "Is your stomach upset?"
Shen Qingshu's eyelashes trembled, and a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes.
She pursed her lips and responded calmly.
Fu Siyan rarely showed concern for her, so Shen Qingshu naturally didn't think his concern was genuine.
I'm afraid he'll see through something!
Have you seen a doctor?
He should have kept quiet; the more he asked, the more nervous Shen Qingshu became.
After all, Fu Siyan was a father, and given his affection for Zhou Yuchu, he must have done his homework during Zhou Yuchu's ten months of pregnancy.
Shen Qingshu couldn't figure out Fu Siyan's thoughts, and fearing that saying too much would make a mistake, she simply ignored him!
She avoided Fu Siyan and walked to the other side of the bed, stroking Fu Siyu's little face. "Mom is fine. She just ate something bad these past two days. A little medicine will do the trick."
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan raised an eyebrow slightly and did not press the matter further.
"Mom, you need to take your medicine properly and get plenty of rest!"
Fu Siyu held Shen Qingshu's hand, "Although I really wish Mom could come and visit me every day, Mom, you should rest more while you're sick. I'll be a good girl."
Shen Qingshu was deeply moved; it seemed she had worried unnecessarily.
Siyu, whom she had cherished for five years, was still as sensible and considerate as ever.
"Thank you, Siyu. Mom will get some rest." Shen Qingshu knew she wouldn't be able to visit Fu Siyu for a while, and she couldn't help but feel worried.
"Mom is going on a business trip tomorrow and will bring you a New Year's gift when she comes back, so remember to eat on time and listen to the doctor so that you can get better faster."
"Business trip?" Fu Siyu frowned, looking at Shen Qingshu expectantly. "Mom, how many days are you going on a business trip?"
"About ten days."
"So long!" Fu Siyu immediately became unhappy. "Mom, you never go on business trips before. What am I going to do if I miss you while you're away for so long?"
"It's for work." Shen Qingshu paused, then added, "If you miss your mother, you can call me or video chat with me."
Fu Siyu pouted in dissatisfaction.
What's the point of calling or video chatting? Shen Qingshu can't cook for him over the phone!
The thought of not being able to eat Shen Qingshu's cooking for ten days made Fu Siyu feel very bad!
Fu Siyu's emotions were written all over her face.
Shen Qingshu felt a little sad as she watched.
Fu Siyu had never been separated from her for so long before. She thought that Fu Siyu couldn't bear to part with her, and her guilt deepened.
Shen Qingshu reached out and hugged Fu Siyu. "Siyu, this is work, Mom has to go."
Fu Siyu leaned against Shen Qingshu's chest, smelling her familiar fragrance, which calmed his agitated mood considerably.
Although his mother's scent was also pleasant, Fu Siyu preferred Shen Qingshu's natural, refreshing fragrance, which made him feel more at ease.
Fu Siyu softened his tone and hugged Shen Qingshu, "Then Mom, you work hard, I'll be a good girl, and when you come back, you have to bring me gifts and cook lots of delicious food for me!"
Shen Qingshu smiled, "Okay, Siyu is the most sensible."
Fu Siyu smiled contentedly, "Mom, you are the best mom in the world, I love you!"
Shen Qingshu felt a warm and comforting sensation as she patted Fu Siyu's head.
Fu Siyan stood silently to the side, watching the interaction between the mother and son. His expression remained indifferent, and his dark eyes showed no emotion whatsoever.
-
After coaxing Fu Siyu to sleep, Shen Qingshu glanced at the time.
It's already 11:30.
The Civil Affairs Bureau is closed for the day.
She sighed, looked at Fu Siyan and said, "I'll go back first. This afternoon, bring your marriage certificate and agreement, and be at the Civil Affairs Bureau at 2 o'clock sharp."
Fu Siyan looked at her, his voice calm and deep: "There's no way to do it this afternoon."
Shen Qingshu had lost all patience and her face turned cold. "What's the reason this time?"
"There are still a few unreasonable parts in the agreement that need to be revised."
"Impossible!" Shen Qingshu gritted her teeth: "This is an agreement you drafted yourself, how could there be a problem?!"
"I did not draft the agreement myself."
Shen Qingshu paused, "Not you?"
"I was busy at the time, so I asked the new people at the law firm to draft it."
Fu Siyan paused for a moment, then said, "Your studio was established after marriage. Although it was established with a personal loan, it still falls under the category of starting a business after marriage. The division of this part of the agreement needs to be revised to be clearer in order to avoid disputes in the future."
Shen Qingshu forgot about that!
At the time, I was only focused on getting a divorce as soon as possible, and I didn't have time to consult a lawyer about the agreement.
She founded the studio herself, so she couldn't afford to be careless.
She looked at Fu Siyan and asked, "How long will it take to revise the agreement?"
"I will try to make the revisions as soon as I have some free time in the next couple of days."
"I'm going on a business trip tomorrow," she reminded him coldly.
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan smiled faintly, "I will fix it before you come back."
Shen Qingshu: "..."
never mind.
Ten days it is. I'll just finish my postpartum confinement and then get the divorce certificate. That way, I can cut ties cleanly!
Shen Qingshu suppressed her emotions, picked up her bag, and left without looking at Fu Siyan again.
…
Half an hour later, Zhou Yuchu arrived.
Fu Siyu had just woken up. He was a little disappointed when Shen Qingshu left, but he was happy again when Zhou Yuchu came.
Fu Siyan handed Fu Siyu over to Zhou Yuchu and went to the firm.
The maid washed the fruit that Zhou Yuchu had brought and placed it on the table.
Zhou Yuchu sat on the edge of the bed and picked a green berry, handing it to Fu Siyu.
Fu Siyu opened her mouth and ate, saying as she ate, "It's so sweet! Mom, you're the best! Qing Shu's mom didn't bring me a gift this morning, and she even threw up when I fed her fish!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuchu paused, "She vomited?"
“Yes!” Fu Siyu nodded. “She said she ate something bad and her stomach is upset, and she has to go on a business trip for ten days! Mom, I feel like she doesn’t love me as much as she used to!”
Zhou Yuchu patted Fu Siyu's head and said, "No matter what others do, Mom will always love you."
Fu Siyu snuggled sweetly into Zhou Yuchu's arms, "I know! Daddy said that the person who loves me most in this world will always be you, Mommy!"
Zhou Yuchu smiled, hugged Fu Siyu and said, "Your father and I are the same; we will love you forever."
…
Shen Qingshu left the hospital and drove home.
While waiting for the green light at a traffic light intersection, I was suddenly rear-ended by a black Maybach!
Fortunately, she was wearing a seatbelt and was unharmed.
After regaining her composure, she unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.
The rear of the BMW was completely crushed, and the front of the Maybach that was chasing her was also severely damaged.
The driver's side door of the Maybach opened, and the owner got out—it was Shen Yanying, whom I had just met yesterday!
"Oh, isn't this my ruthless older sister!" Shen Yanying walked over, looking at Shen Qingshu with malicious intent. "I just picked up this car last month, dear sister, you're going to have to pay for it!"
Shen Qingshu looked coldly at Shen Yanying.
He knew that the rear-end collision was intentional on Shen Yanying's part.
Too lazy to waste words with him, Shen Qingshu simply took out her phone and called the police...
