"Are you afraid I'll regret it?"
His voice was muffled. "But I'm more afraid that you'll treat me as a stranger."
It was cold around, but his embrace was exactly the same temperature as before, warm.
His words took me by surprise.
When I came to my senses again, he had already opened the car door for me. After I got in, he turned around and left without even looking back.
Through the rain, I caught a glimpse of his straight back, which was mostly wet.
My heart felt like it was being gnawed by millions of ants, becoming emptier and emptier.
It seems that ending a marriage is so easy.
Take half an hour to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, submit some documents and sign.
A month later, if you find time to come back and both of you still reach an agreement, you can get a divorce certificate as bright red as your marriage certificate.
Everything was cut off.
The days of sleeping in the same bed and supporting each other seem like just a dream.
Of course, the premise is that Fu Qichuan does not go back on his word.
When I arrived at Jiang Lai's house, Jiang Lai opened the door from the inside before I could open it.
"Is he here?"
"Um."
I smiled softly, as if nothing had happened.
She quietly watched me walk in and change my shoes, then spoke cautiously, "Fu Qichuan sent me a message. Are you...really getting a divorce?"
"I guess so. I've already applied for it. I'll get the divorce certificate in a month."
I took off my coat and took a hair tie to tie my long hair casually behind my head. "Why did he text you?"
She hesitated and said, "He asked me to take care of you for the next month."
"Are you afraid I'll jump off the building?"
I said self-deprecatingly, "Tell him not to think too much. The earth will keep turning without anyone."
"No."
Jiang Lai denied it, frowning and thinking for a while, "I always feel that what he said has some other meaning. Doesn't he really want a divorce? He is just trying to deal with you first. After all, during the divorce cooling-off period, if one party withdraws the application, there will be no divorce."
“No way…”
My heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Fu Qichuan really wanted to regret this? This might indeed be his style.
But she changed her mind and thought about the baby in Fu Jinan's belly, which would take at least a few months to be born. Even for her, Fu Qichuan would not regret it within this month.
He had already made his choice, and I was the only one still wishfully thinking about these things.
I walked into the bathroom tiredly, "I'll take a shower first."
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's just a divorce. Didn't I want to divorce a long time ago?" I said calmly
"That's good."
Jiang Lai closed the door for me and said, "Then take a shower and have a good sleep. I saw that you didn't sleep much last night."
"good."
I smiled and nodded. The moment the door closed, I suddenly sat down on the toilet with my whole body exhausted. I bent over and let the tears fall down.
I don't want to cry.
You've been waiting for this divorce for so long, you should be happy, right?
Although I haven't received the divorce certificate yet, I feel like a big piece of my heart has been dug out, and I feel so empty.
Maybe emotions are something that can never be controlled by rationality.
In life, there are not many eight years to squander like this.
What makes me feel even more uncomfortable and guilty is that I feel sorry for my child because he is without a father before he is even born.
He'll probably feel sad when he sees other kids have dads...
…
In order to quickly relieve myself from the pain, I devoted myself to work while resting my body.
The design draft of MS can't be delayed any longer.
Once you start working, you forget everything else, because the pain of work is enough to make you exhausted.
I overturned and redrawn it many times, but I was never satisfied.
Then, I thought that next Christmas, I would have an extra little ball in my arms, and suddenly I had an inspiration!
I had just put down a few strokes when my cell phone rang.
The call came from the old house.
Fearing that Grandpa had something to say, I immediately answered the call, "Hello."
Uncle Qi said anxiously, "Young Madam! Please come over quickly. The old man is furious and wants to beat the young master! Only you can persuade him to stop."
"What?"
As soon as I heard the first half of the sentence, I stood up, took my coat and hung it on my hand, and walked out.
It’s not that I’m worried about Fu Qichuan.
Although Grandpa had more than one grandson, Fu Qichuan was the one he loved the most. Even if he attacked, he would do so with discretion and not take his life.
It's just that Grandpa's health is important. It's best not to get angry, otherwise there could be an accident. Uncle Qi wouldn't have sounded so anxious unless it was absolutely necessary.
Uncle Qi said, "You'll know when you come and see!"
No matter what I thought in my heart, I was still stunned when I arrived at the Fu family's old house.
In the study, Fu Qichuan, who used to be so bright and handsome, was now kneeling on the ground. He was beaten so badly that he couldn't bend his back, and veins on his forehead were bulging with pain. He only managed to hold on to the edge of the ebony coffee table to avoid falling to the ground.
What was even more surprising was that Fu Jinan was also there.
I was about to speak, but my grandfather, who had always been kind to me, looked at Uncle Qi coldly and said, "Did you call Nanzhi?"
"……yes."
Uncle Qi could only admit it.
"I think you are used to acting on your own!"
Grandpa shouted angrily, "Get out!"
"grandfather……"
I still want to persuade him, but I’m afraid that grandpa will get angry and hurt himself.
Grandpa waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, they can't piss me off to death. Just go out and wait."
Hearing this, I could only leave with Uncle Qi.
Behind me, I heard my grandfather sneer, "You're just as clueless as your mother. Get out of here!"
Fu Jinan spoke softly, "Grandpa, what's the point of beating Achuan like this? Ruan Nanzhi divorced voluntarily. Besides, giving her a house is enough. Achuan is your grandson, and Ruan Nanzhi is just an outsider."
"Shut up!"
Grandpa shouted angrily, glaring at Fu Qichuan angrily, "Is this the woman you like? She has no moral bottom line and is petty, and she can't even understand basic human language."
Fu Qichuan endured the pain in his body and gritted his teeth and said, "Grandpa asked you to get out, didn't you hear?"
"I heard it."
Although Fu Jinan was annoyed, he didn't dare to act as arrogantly in front of his grandfather as he did in private.
Xian Kuai also came out, walked past me and Uncle Xian, without a trace of anger on his face, and went downstairs gently and generously.
Uncle Qi frowned, looked at me, and said kindly, "Don't get me wrong, the old man wasn't targeting you just now."
"I know."
I lowered my eyes and asked, "Grandpa knows that we are divorced?"
"Um."
Uncle Qi nodded and said, "A few days ago, when you and the young master went to the Civil Affairs Bureau, the old man received the news."
“…”
Seeing my stunned expression, Uncle Qi sighed, "Grandpa had already guessed that you might go through the formalities first, and he had already informed them."
Hearing this, I immediately understood.
I was carried away by the past few days. I should have thought that with the power of the Fu family, as long as grandpa is determined, no matter what we do, he will not be able to hide it from him.
Uncle Qi saw that I was feeling guilty and said, "But the old man was so angry, it wasn't because of this."
I looked up. "What is that?"
"The one downstairs."
Uncle Qi pursed his lips, looking troubled. "The old man asked the young master to come over, and she showed up right after the young master walked in. She can't be driven away, saying that the young master will marry her sooner or later."
"Tell her to give up this idea as soon as possible!"
Grandpa's violent voice came from the other side of the door, perhaps deliberately speaking to Fu Jinan, "You too, don't even think about it! If you want to learn from your father, that evil bastard who is fickle, you can piss me off to death first. When I die, you can do anything!"
"As long as I live, your wife, the young lady of the Fu family, will only be Nanzhi!"
