Chapter 95 Formal Divorce
Li Ting was puzzled, "But you clearly said before that you love me, and you don't mind that I have health problems."
"You saved me at that time, and I was very touched, so I impulsively agreed to reconcile with you." Gu Mian suppressed the tears in his eyes, not letting himself cry, "But when I calmed down, I found that I couldn't accept such a life at all."
"I love you, but I love myself more. If I don't have a child, I will have regrets for the rest of my life, and I don't want to have regrets. So Ting Shen, I'm sorry, I want to divorce you, and I will repay you in other ways, just like you repay Yin Luoxue. You can't repay Yin Luoxue with marriage, and I can't repay you with marriage."
Li Tingshen stared at her face intently, "Are you telling the truth?"
Gu Mian did not deny, "I was entangled, but reason finally won over emotion. I'm sorry..."
Li Tingshen took two steps back and fell onto the bed.
He lowered his eyes to look at the divorce agreement in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "So your love for me is not fake, but you love yourself more. Compared to being with a crippled me, you want to build a family and have children with another man."
Gu Mian closed his eyes painfully, "Yes."
"I understand." Li Tingshen smiled instead of getting angry. "Husband and wife are birds of the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly away separately... In my opinion, not having children is not a big deal, but you are flying away."
"Gu Mian, there are actually many ways to have a child, such as adoption or artificial insemination, but you chose divorce without any hesitation, which proves that I am not important to you at all."
She heard him say.
"Gu Mian, your love is really cheap."
Gu Mian clenched her hands into fists, her nails pricking her palms, reminding her to stay calm.
"Yes." Gu Mian looked at him, "We are not from the same world. I am not worthy of you at all. Let's get a divorce."
"Do you think I will still beg you with a licking face?" Li Tingshen raised his head slowly, his handsome face was full of coldness, and his dark and deep eyes were brewing a storm. "You want a divorce? I'll grant you your wish! I paid back the blood you donated to Luoxue all these years with that knife. From now on, we owe each other nothing!"
......
That night, Gu Mian slept in the guest room on the first floor.
She originally wanted to go back to the Chinese medicine clinic, but Li Tingshen said that he had to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce early the next morning and didn't want her to waste time.
Gu Mian knew that Li Tingshen was determined this time.
No one would be able to bear her hurtful words.
I don't know when it started to rain outside the window. The big raindrops hit the window, covering up Gu Mian's crying.
She curled up in the quilt, feeling as if she was in an ice cellar, without any warmth in her body.
Gu didn't sleep all night, and only got up early the next morning after hearing Yang's mother's voice.
Li Tingshen also got up very early. When the two of them sat at the dining table to eat breakfast, Mother Yang obviously felt that the atmosphere between them was not right, but she did not dare to say anything.
After breakfast, the two went out together.
No one spoke along the way.
It was not until they came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau that Li Tingshen spoke for the first time today, "Come on time in one month to get the divorce certificate."
They just registered today and need to go through a one-month divorce cooling-off period before they can officially get divorced.
Gu Mian watched Li Tingshen get into the car. When the Rolls-Royce drove away, he immediately took out his cell phone and called Li Hongxuan.
"Ting Shen and I have registered for divorce."
"Very good." Li Hongxuan was in a very good mood. "Looks like I can start preparing for his and Luoxue's wedding."
After Gu Mian hung up the phone, he felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away. He squatted on the side of the road for a long time before he managed to return to the Chinese medicine clinic.
......
In the afternoon, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Mother Yang went to open the door and saw Yin Luoxue outside.
"Ms. Yin?" Mother Yang frowned, "Why are you here?"
"Can't I come?" Yin Luoxue glared at her. "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that!"
Mother Yang asked distantly, "What do you want?"
Yin Luoxue directly controlled the wheelchair to go into the house, "Of course he is looking for Brother Tingshen, is he looking for you?"
Mother Yang hurriedly stopped him and said, "Sir, you are not seeing guests today. Please leave."
"Get out of my way!" Yin Luoxue was furious. "I will soon be the eldest lady of the Li family, and you dare to stop me!"
When she marries Li Tingshen, the first thing she will do is to fire this annoying mother Yang!
Mother Yang was unmoved and stopped him firmly, "I told you, the master is not seeing guests today, and you should check the time even if you are dreaming. It is broad daylight now."
"Do you think I was talking in my sleep?" Yin Luoxue chuckled and said, "It seems that you don't know yet, Brother Ting Shen has divorced Gu Mian, and I will marry Brother Ting Shen soon. I came here today to discuss the wedding with him."
Mother Yang couldn't believe it, "How is it possible!"
Yin Luoxue was too lazy to talk to her, "Get lost!"
She took the elevator upstairs by herself and saw that the door of the master bedroom was open and there was a smell of smoke coming out. She went in immediately and saw Li Tingshen sitting on the sofa smoking.
"Cough cough cough..." Yin Luoxue kept coughing because of being snorted. She looked carefully and saw that the ashtray in front of Li Tingshen was almost full.
Even if Yin Luoxue was not very shrewd, she could tell that he was in a very bad mood.
Yin Luoxue immediately became cautious and walked forward to ask with concern, "Brother Tingshen, have you felt better?"
Li Tingshen slowly raised his eyes and looked at her, "Why are you here?"
"I'm worried about you, so I came to see you." Yin Luoxue's face, which was delicately made up, was full of worry. "Brother Tingshen, you are still injured. Don't smoke so much. It's not good for your health."
"I understand. You can go back now."
"Brother Tingshen, did I do something wrong?" Yin Luoxue was about to cry, "If I did something wrong, just tell me, I will definitely change, I just ask you not to alienate me like this..."
Li Ting looked at her deeply.
Yin Luoxue was indeed very obedient. As long as he wanted, she would revolve around him and devote her whole heart to him. She was countless times more obedient than Gu Mian.
He couldn't help but think that if the car accident hadn't happened that year, which had brought him and Gu Mian together, Yin Luoxue would have been Mrs. Li now.
Maybe he won't feel so bad today.
Because Yin Luoxue would not ask for divorce from him again and again like Gu Mian did.
Yin Luoxue saw him in a daze, tears fell from her eyes, "Brother Tingshen, I know you are very sad and in pain. I will always be by your side. Even if your body fails, I am willing to marry you. No matter what you become, I will stay with you forever."
Li Tingshen smiled faintly.
Not long ago, Gu Mian also made such a passionate confession, saying that she would never leave him.
And promised to teach him to love.
But she let go easily without hesitation.
The pain that Li Tingshen had suppressed with great difficulty once again swept through his heart.
