Before Zhou Chunhua could react, Liao Nanxing's hand covered hers.
A wave of nausea washed over me, and the water I had just drunk churned in my stomach.
She tried to pull her hand back, but Liao Nanxing held it tightly.
"Hua Hua, I know I was wrong. We... I mean, you and I, can we go back to the way things were? I promise, from now on, I will never do anything to betray you again..."
"let go!"
Before Liao Nanxing could finish speaking, Zhou Chunhua interrupted him loudly.
The shouts drew the attention of those around them.
Perhaps feeling guilty, Liao Nanxing loosened her grip a little, and she pulled her hand back and slapped Liao Nanxing across the face.
"nausea!"
Liao Nanxing stared at her with a livid face.
"I really don't know how you have the nerve to say such things!" Zhou Chunhua rubbed her arms to get rid of the goosebumps.
So she couldn't help but mentally drag out that young, naive version of herself and berate her again.
"Su Muzhi was a mistress, and being abandoned by you is her retribution! But how old is the child she gave birth to? You... Liao Nanxing, you are already fifty years old, not fifteen!"
Why can't you act like a man and take responsibility for your wife and children, for your family?
Seeing that Liao Nanxing was about to explain, she waved her hand to interrupt her: "I don't want to hear what you have to say! Are you going to sign this lease termination agreement or not? Give me a straight answer!"
As she spoke, she began packing her things.
Honestly, she felt incredibly uncomfortable being in the same room as Liao Nanxing.
Seeing Liao Nanxing still sitting motionless across from her, Zhou Chunhua quickly put the lease termination agreement and pen into her bag, then turned to leave.
"Zhou Chunhua! You're talking about me, but what about you? You're middle-aged and still living together like other people. How are you any better than me? I advise you to wake up. Do you think Gu Yao is close to you because he loves you?"
"Let me tell you, he's only getting close to you to get revenge on me! Once he's trampled under his feet, you'll be worthless to him!"
Zhou Chunhua stopped walking away, turned around, and went back.
Splash...
She poured the entire contents of the cup onto Liao Nanxing's face.
"First, we're divorced. Who I'm with is none of your business! Second, who do you think you are? Gu Yao is taking revenge on you? You dare to say that? Third, if you dare mention Gu Yao again, believe me, I'll beat you to a pulp!"
For a lawyer, reputation is very important.
Gu Yao has already endured too much to help her.
She would never allow Liao Nanxing to smear Gu Yao again.
At this moment, Liao Nanxing's eyes were filled with desolation.
“Zhou Chunhua, we’ve been together for over twenty years! Is that more than the two hundred days he’s spent with you?”
"Ha!" Zhou Chunhua almost laughed at these words: "More than twenty years? You still have the nerve to say more than twenty years? What? You've already forgotten those seven years you cheated on me? Don't try to play the sympathy card with me! You old scumbag!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a murmur arose from all around.
They all despise Liao Nanxing for being shameless.
At this moment, Liao Nanxing felt as if she had been stripped naked and displayed in public, filled with shame and indignation.
But he still didn't want to give up.
"Yes, you're right. But didn't I make the mistake that all men make? Now I realize that I still love you!"
With a bang, Zhou Chunhua slammed the cup down on the table, interrupting Liao Nanxing's self-indulgent reverie.
"You're wrong! You don't love me, and you don't love Su Mu. You only love yourself! Selfish men like you only dare to bully the women who are best to you."
I was young and naive before, and in the throes of love, I thought sincerity could be reciprocated. I offered you tolerance, respect, and acceptance.
But later I found that the nicer I was to you, the more ungrateful you became, and the more you took advantage of me! Not only did you not appreciate what others did for you, but you also thought we were easy to bully.
You never think that our sincerity and kindness are because we are inherently good. Instead, you think it's because you are very charming and remarkable that we act this way.
So in your eyes, everyone's kindness to you is always a given! Ha... I really don't know where you get your confidence? Let me tell you, a person like you is truly pathetic and laughable!
I know you probably don't want to admit it, but that's the truth! Joker!
When Zhou Chunhua finished speaking, Liao Nanxing's eyes suddenly changed.
The arrogance and self-importance of the past, at this moment, is like a shattered mirror, broken into pieces.
To this day, Zhou Chunhua is the first person to say these things to him.
From as far back as he could remember, his parents' praise and the villagers' envy made him feel invincible.
Only now did he realize that it wasn't like that at all.
Suddenly, Liao Nanxing felt like he had been a clown for the past fifty years.
The gazes of those around him were like flames, scorching his pride.
He reached out his hand...
"Bring me the agreement."
Zhou Chunhua was startled at first, but she didn't hesitate and immediately took out the agreement and pen from her bag and handed them over.
As soon as Liao Nanxing signed his name, she couldn't even wait for him to put down his pen before taking the agreement back.
After carefully keeping the lease termination agreement, he immediately took out his phone and transferred the money to Liao Nanxing's bank account as written in the agreement.
As Gu Yao said, this money cannot be saved.
Only when the money and goods are settled can their relationship be completely severed.
At this moment, Zhou Chunhua felt as if she had been reborn, feeling incredibly relaxed both physically and mentally.
After doing all this, as Liao Nanxing put the phone back in his bag, he handed her a pen.
Zhou Chunhua glanced at the pen, took it from her with a tissue, and then tossed it into the ashtray on the table.
He turned around gracefully and left without the slightest hesitation.
The crisp sound of her high heels, at that moment, was like a victory drumbeat, bringing a perfect end to her more than twenty years of blindness.
Her life began anew at this moment.
As soon as Zhou Chunhua stepped out of the coffee shop, she couldn't wait to share her joy.
She took out her phone and dialed Julia's number.
The call was disconnected after only one ring of the waiting tone.
Although Zhou Chunhua felt a little disappointed, she immediately dialed Gu Yao's number.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Gu Yao, who was in a meeting, saw his phone screen light up. Instead of hanging up as usual, he answered the call in front of everyone in the meeting room.
"how's it going?"
The gentle voice silenced everyone.
Gu Yao glanced at everyone, then looked at Tai An one last time before getting up and walking out of the conference room.
