This isn't like her!
She has always been carefree. She could let go of Gu Xulin, whom she had liked for so long, so how could she be half-dead because of Zhan Jingting, a scumbag she had only known for a short time!
Qiao Wanwan sniffed and forced a smile. "You're right, it's time for me to come back to life. I've already asked Aunt Zheng to help me find a lawyer to prepare for the divorce."
"Huh? So suddenly?" Zhan Yin was quite surprised. "Have you thought it through?"
“There’s no need to hesitate about this,” Qiao Wanwan said. “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Thank you for taking care of me last night. I was half asleep and I held your hand. Please don’t mind.”
Zhan Yin said arrogantly, "Not just anyone can hold my hand. You'd better watch your step in the future."
"Don't worry, men and women shouldn't touch each other. I won't touch you casually when I'm sober."
Zhan Yin naturally didn't mind. When he came to visit Qiao Wanwan last night, she was delirious with fever and did pull his hand, but she let go after only two seconds.
The lawyer arrived at Wutong Bay soon. Qiao Wanwan felt uncomfortable seeing anyone in bed, so she got up to wash and met the lawyer in the living room.
"Hello, Ms. Qiao." The female lawyer nodded politely. "Please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything I can help you with."
Qiao Wanwan said, "I want a divorce. Please help me draft a divorce agreement. It should be very simple: we have no children, no financial ties, and I will leave with nothing."
Zhan Yin frowned. "Qiao Wanwan, are you stupid? Why would you leave with nothing? Even if you don't want much, you can't just leave with nothing at all. You could easily live off a little bit from my uncle for several lifetimes!"
"I won't accept something for nothing, and I won't take what isn't mine." Qiao Wanwan looked at the lawyer. "Please help me draft this as soon as possible."
"good."
"Qiao Wanwan, calm down. I'm doing this for your own good," Zhan Yin advised gently. "My uncle isn't a stingy person. As long as you don't ask for an exorbitant amount, he'll be very generous to you."
"I know, but I don't need it."
The divorce agreement was quickly handed to Qiao Wanwan. She signed it neatly and handed it to Zheng Ma, saying, "Take this to Zhan Jingting for his signature. I'm going to pack my things and move out today. Please tell him that we need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to complete the divorce procedures."
Madam Zheng hesitated to extend her hand. "Madam, must it really come to this?"
Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "No need to say anything, just do as I say."
"Yes." Zheng Ma had no choice but to accept it.
Qiao Wanwan took out her suitcase from the walk-in closet and began packing.
Zhan Yin watched from the side and casually said, "You really are stupid. Why make things difficult for yourself? Wouldn't it be better to take some money and run away?"
Qiao Wanwan glanced at him and said, "I have hands, feet, and a brain. I can earn my own money. Why would I try to squeeze money out of someone else before the divorce?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, quite principled."
“This isn’t a matter of principle, it’s my last shred of dignity. I don’t want people to think that I married Zhan Jingting for his money.” Qiao Wanwan packed her clothes into her suitcase one by one. “I came into this world clean, and I’ll leave clean. I won’t take anything that belongs to him.”
Zhan Yin looked at her with admiration, "Qiao Wanwan, you have quite the backbone!"
"Thank you for the compliment."
"So where are you planning to go next?"
Qiao Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "Let's rent a place and settle down first, and we can talk about the rest later."
"Okay, I'll help you find a place to live."
"No need," Qiao Wanwan refused. "I don't want to have anything to do with your Zhan family."
"Tch, you don't have to include me in the Zhan family. I actually don't want to have anything to do with the Zhan family."
I don't think so.
Qiao Wanwan didn't have much stuff. After tidying up quickly, she checked the room again to make sure nothing was left behind.
For some reason, it seems like Zhan Jingting's shadow is in every corner here!
Qiao Wanwan felt a sharp pain in her heart, so painful that she could hardly breathe!
She grabbed her suitcase and practically fled the door.
"Qiao Wanwan, wait for me!" Zhan Yin immediately chased after her.
In the study, Zhan Jingting stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the car gradually disappear into the rain, his hands slowly clenching into fists, his knuckles turning white!
In the darkness, the man's deep eyes darkened, and a cold chill spread from them, inspiring fear in those who looked upon him!
"Wanwan..." he called her name in a low, hoarse voice, but that was all he said, "Wanwan..."
......
Qiao Wanwan found a hotel to stay in temporarily. After entering the room, she turned around and stopped Zhan Yin, who had followed her in, and said, "You can go back now."
"I'll go in and check if it's safe." Zhan Yin pushed her hand away and went inside, frowning in disgust. "Qiao Wanwan, I already told you I'd take you to a nicer hotel, but you insisted on coming to this awful place."
"Five hundred a night here is not cheap."
“You asked for this. Even if you don’t want my uncle’s money, you can still ask him for a few houses. My uncle owns so many properties that you can’t count them all, and they are all luxury homes.”
"I told you, I don't need it," Qiao Wanwan urged. "It's been checked, it's safe here, you can leave now. I have to go get a divorce early tomorrow morning, I need to rest now."
"Like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, I tried to help you out of kindness, and you chased me away."
"Brother, I need to rest now."
"Fine, fine, I can't be bothered with you." Zhan Yin said, but his words betrayed his true feelings. "By the way, this is the ready-to-eat bird's nest I bought for you. Remember to eat it, and call me if anything happens."
"Thanks."
Once Zhan Yin left, the room finally quieted down.
Qiao Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then walked to the window and looked at the night view outside.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, pounding against the window with a heart-wrenching sound that made Qiao Wanwan feel suffocated!
She felt a little dizzy, so she went to the bathroom to wash up quickly and then lay down on the bed.
Qiao Wanwan felt very tired, but her mind became increasingly clear, filled with memories of her time with Zhan Jingting!
She desperately wanted to banish him from her mind, but the harder she tried, the clearer his face appeared!
Qiao Wanwan stubbornly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, refusing to let them fall.
She can't cry, or she'll lose!
Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes, trying to force herself to fall asleep, when her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the screen; it was a call from Xiang Yang. Quickly composing herself, she swiped to answer, "Xiang Yang?"
"Boss, what are you doing?"
"I was just getting ready to go to sleep."
Xiang Yang smiled ambiguously, "Then I'm sorry for disturbing you and Zhan Jingting. I'll hang up now and call you back later."
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
"Hey boss, I didn't call you for anything, just wanted to chat. How are things going with Zhan Jingting lately? Has he fallen even more in love with you after seeing your stunning good looks?"
