Chapter 127 I Don’t Want to Burden You
Seeing that they could not eat the melon anymore, the guests had to go back to their rooms.
After the yard returned to silence, in the farthest thatched hut, Sun Qinghai took out two documents from his bag, looking as if he was ashamed of Shao Ziyu's trust.
He grabbed his hair and said in pain.
"I'm sorry, honey. I don't want to gamble anymore, but they threatened that if I didn't go, they would release all my gambling information and the evidence of my cheating that year. I had no choice. We are husband and wife, and I don't want to affect you. I had no choice but to go to the Australian market with them."
Sun Qinghai told Shao Ziyu about his tax evasion a few years ago, saying that because he had become famous, his former company did not want to let him go and deliberately evaded his taxes. After terminating his contract with his former company, Sun Qinghai said that he had actively paid the back taxes.
Shao Ziyu used to believe these words very much, but now, she thought about what Jiang Ning was thinking. For the sake of high endorsement fees, Sun Qinghai deceived his fans even though he knew that the brand of snacks he endorsed might be bad for the body.
Would such a cold-hearted person really go back to gambling just to avoid affecting her? Or had Sun Qinghai never really given up gambling from the beginning?
Shao Ziyu looked up at Sun Qinghai, who was covering his face in pain but seemed to be observing her reaction. She felt an inexplicable emptiness in her heart.
Is the person in front of her really as good as she subconsciously portrays?
Seeing Shao Ziyu staring at him in a daze and not coming to comfort him, Sun Qinghai felt a little uncomfortable.
He didn't want Jiang Ning to affect his plan, so he didn't care about any more painful scenes and pushed the document in front of Shao Ziyu.
"Here are the company transfer documents and the gift contract for the house in the western suburbs. I've been tricked by the casino guys and all my funds are tied up. I can only give you these. If you sign the documents, I'll find a way to give you five million. Let's get a divorce. I don't want to be a burden to you."
Sun Qinghai wiped his face, which showed the pain of being forced to separate from his lover.
His feelings seemed sincere, but Shao Ziyu was a little confused.
Shao Ziyu held the two documents and flipped through them casually, but did not take the pen that Sun Qinghai handed over. She seemed to be deeply shocked and had not yet reacted when she spoke.
"Let me think about it."
"Wife, we have been married for so many years, you should be able to feel how I treat you. I really have no choice, otherwise how could I separate from you." Sun Qinghai said, putting the pen in Shao Ziyu's hand, his expression becoming more bitter.
"I'm not trying to force you. I just really don't know when those people will release the two pieces of information that will make me quit the industry. Instead of you following me to pay off my gambling debts and film dramas that I don't like, I hope you can divorce me, get rid of all this, and run our company well."
What Sun Qinghai said did not seem to be false, but for some reason, Shao Ziyu just couldn't bring herself to sign. She lowered her eyes and spoke softly.
"I want to sign it tomorrow."
Sun Qinghai's expectant look was met with disappointment, but he was worried that if he said anything more, Shao Ziyu would become suspicious and even more reluctant to sign. He had to reluctantly give up the idea of forcing her hand to sign and said with a forced smile.
"You can sign whenever you want. I'll leave these things to you anyway."
After he said this, he turned around to pack his luggage, and the room fell into silence.
Sun Qinghai counted in his mind, waiting for Shao Ziyu to come over and break the ice, but he waited and waited and still no one came.
Sun Qinghai frowned and turned around, only to see Shao Ziyu, who always cared about his mood, actually fell asleep on his side.
After being ignored repeatedly, Sun Qinghai could no longer control his temper and slammed the suitcase down. However, this time, Shao Ziyu lying on the bed did not move, as if she was really asleep.
After standing there for two minutes to vent his anger, Sun Qinghai glanced coldly at Shao Ziyu who was sleeping with his back to him, picked up his cigarette and walked out.
After the door was slammed and the room returned to silence, Shao Ziyu opened his eyes, turned around and took the two documents in his hands. After thinking for a while, he took a deep breath, took a photo of the documents, and sent it to a lawyer friend he knew.
After finishing all this and putting the documents back in their place, Shao Ziyu looked at the roof without any sleepiness.
The next day, the guests made breakfast with the leftover food from last night and started the live broadcast.
Today they are going to experience one of the classic animation projects in Storybrooke: Calabash Brothers Saves Grandpa.
The director came over with a box in his arms and said, "All the characters in Calabash Brothers are here. You will play the role you draw."
There were exactly seven of them in total, and the guests all guessed that they were playing the seven gourd brothers who went to save their grandfather. Anyway, they were all on the same side and there was no competition between them, so everyone drew their names casually.
After all the guests had drawn their numbers, they opened the paper and saw that they had all drawn Calabash Brothers.
Only Jiang Ning felt something strange when touching the words on the note. He scratched it tentatively and saw more words underneath. His eyes flashed and he stuffed the note into his pocket. Then he went to the other guests as if nothing had happened to look at the map of this game copy.
Song Yao: "There are seven places in total where we can get clues to the location that Grandpa is concerned about. Should we act separately or together?"
“We can divide into several groups.”
After coming to the show, Jiang Qing has become a bit talkative, but he doesn't want to run around alone without any teammates to talk to.
After these words were spoken, everyone thought that the couple would still be together, but today, both Shao Ziyu and Sun Qinghai were not in good spirits, and the two did not spend as much time together as they did yesterday.
The guests felt that Shao Ziyu had become more sober in love, and of course they would not take the initiative to group them as a couple.
"What about black and white?" Jiang Qing looked at everyone and suggested.
The guests nodded, gathered together and extended their hands, "Come on, come on."
Sun Qinghai, who was about to say that they and his wife would not participate, saw Shao Ziyu had already surrounded him. His face turned sullen for a few seconds, he glanced at the direction of the lens and said nothing, then walked away with a cold face.
After several rounds, the combination that Sun Qinghai least wanted to see appeared.
"We're in the same group. Sister Ziyu, where do you think we should go?" Jiang Ning looked at the person next to her.
Shao Ziyu pursed her lips, her eyes fixed on a spot on the map. "Is the amusement park okay?"
Jiang Ning, who had never been to an amusement park, nodded vigorously, his eyes instantly shining.
Seeing that the two were discussing the route to the amusement park to look for clues, as if they didn't see him at all, Sun Qinghai regretted bringing Shao Ziyu to the show. It was only the second day, and Shao Ziyu had forgotten what kind of lovely wife she had become after all these years of his vague guidance.
Next to Sun Qinghai, Jiang Qing, who had discussed the matter with Zhuo Guanglan, clapped his hands.
"Okay, let's go to the haunted house."
The haunted house in this fairytale town was described as the kind from Journey to the West, with the underworld, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons, and hell. Jiang Qing had never been there and was very curious.
After saying that, Jiang Qing saw that Sun Qinghai was still staring at Shao Ziyu with anger in his eyes, and rolled his eyes.
"What are you looking at? Staring at your own wife is like being a peeping Tom. It's creepy."
Facing Sun Qinghai's sharp eyes, Jiang Qing was not afraid at all.
"Let's go and look for clues. Don't think you can just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor just because you're the oldest."
Having said that, Sun Qinghai had no choice but to stay in front of the camera and could only follow Jiang Qing with a sullen face.
Zhuo Guanglan, who was walking behind, glanced at Jiang Ning. Thinking that the live broadcast would end tomorrow, he didn't rush to get an answer and followed.
