Since she had planted the idea of divorce in her heart, Su Jinyu asked the butler Uncle Lin to buy a small house for her.
For safety reasons, the location of this small villa was chosen with great care. It is very close to the Governor's Palace and is located on the same street.
When Su Jinyu arrived at the small villa, Aunt Wu was very busy, directing everyone to put the items moved out of Jinfeng Building in proper places one by one.
Seeing her come back, Aunt Wu couldn't help but complain, her voice full of concern: "Why do you want to move out for no reason? The Governor's Mansion is spacious and stable. For you, it is the safest place."
Su Jinyu held Aunt Wu's arm affectionately, resting her head lightly on her shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Aunt Wu, you may not know that I'm already married. Now I want to get a divorce and go back to my parents' home. Zhang's woman will definitely control everything. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. It's better for me to move out and be free."
Aunt Wu stretched out her finger and gently tapped her head, her tone carrying a hint of disdain: "Her? Are you afraid of her?"
Su Jinyu raised the corners of her mouth and smiled faintly: "As for me, I'm too lazy to deal with her."
Then, she took Aunt Wu's hand and said sincerely, "Aunt Wu, you will live here with me from now on, and I will take care of you in your old age. I know in my heart that when you left the Governor's Mansion, you were forced to leave by that woman Zhang. Now it's different here, we are our own home, and no one can force you to leave again."
Aunt Wu's eyes were slightly red. She raised her hand and gently stroked her silky hair. She replied lovingly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Aunt Wu's eyes fell on the dowry boxes placed in the hall and asked, "Are these all put away?"
Su Jinyu followed her gaze, pointed at several boxes, and said in an orderly manner: "Leave these jewelry at home, and rent a few safes in the bank to store the rest of the items that you don't use on a daily basis. When I was in the Governor's Mansion, my father was a conservative man and preferred to store things in the warehouse. Now that I have moved out and live alone, this house is not as safe as the Governor's Mansion, and it is more reassuring to put it in the bank."
After everything was arranged, Su Jinyu walked upstairs and prepared to change her clothes.
She carefully selected a moon-white modified cheongsam. The fabric was light and thin, Xiangyun yarn, with a unique matte texture. It felt cool to the touch, as if it brought a slight chill.
The sleeves of her cheongsam were slightly tightened, revealing her slender wrists just right. They were as white and flawless as tender lotus roots, making people want to touch them.
On the body of the dress, elegant orchids were embroidered with delicate silver thread, with a well-determined density, and every stitch and thread was full of ingenuity. The orchids were lifelike, as if swaying gently in the breeze, emitting a faint orchid fragrance that lingered around her body.
The cheongsam fits her waist perfectly, and it is so slender that it can be held in one hand, which further highlights her slim waist, as if it would break if it was bent lightly. The hem of her skirt is like a fishtail, and as she walks, the hem rises and falls like a wave. She is so graceful that every step seems to be on the clouds.
At this moment, she is like a fairy from a painting, and against the backdrop of the cheongsam, she looks even more gentle and charming, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off her.
Qing Ru grew up with the young lady since she was a child and was accustomed to her beauty. However, at this moment, she was still shocked by the scene in front of her.
She opened her eyes wide and exclaimed: "Miss...you are so beautiful!"
Su Jinyu looked in the mirror, looking left and right, and was very satisfied with the outfit. She smiled and said, "Aunt Wu understands me the best."
Aunt Wu looked at her, as if she saw the shadow of another person through her, and couldn't help but sigh: "You and your mother are really alike, both are so bright and dazzling."
Su Jinyu doesn't have many memories of her mother, except that her grandfather treasured her mother's photos and often showed them to her.
She stared at herself in the mirror: "I am not as beautiful as Mom."
Aunt Wu quietly wiped the tears from her eyes and said earnestly, "It's okay if it's not like that. Your mother had a hard life... Now that you're divorced, it may not be a bad thing. Don't waste your time on someone who is not worth it. Find a good man. Aunt Wu has no other hope, but she hopes that you can find someone who is truly good to you."
Su Jinyu shook her head slightly and said seriously: "Aunt Wu, being 'good' to someone is not a rare thing. Once he changes his mind and treats you 'badly', then everything is gone. If I want to find someone, it must be someone I like from the bottom of my heart, with good character, upright and kind, and handsome, who makes people happy just by looking at him..."
Aunt Wu glanced at Qingru beside her when she heard this. Qingru covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing.
Aunt Wu asked jokingly, "Hey, is there someone you like now?"
Hearing Aunt Wu's question, Su Jinyu's eyes flashed with doubt and said, "I can't say for sure... But no matter what, I must take him down."
As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't wait to go out, drive alone, and drive to the police station without stopping.
Standing at the door of the police station, Su Jinyu looked up at the slightly old building, took a deep breath, and walked in.
The police station was bustling with people, noisy, and filled with documents and papers scattered everywhere. It was a busy scene.
"Excuse me, is Captain Zhou Youchen here?" Su Jinyu walked up to a police officer, her voice clear and pleasant, like a yellow oriole singing out of a valley.
The police officer raised his head suddenly and saw the beautiful Su Jinyu in front of him. His face flushed instantly and he was so nervous that his tongue was tied.
He pointed to the inner office and stammered, "Captain Zhou... is... in there..."
Su Jinyu walked slowly through the crowded office area. Wherever she went, there was silence.
All the police officers seemed to be under a spell. They stopped their movements and all their eyes were directed towards the graceful figure.
The door of Zhou Youchen's office was half-open. Su Jinyu raised her hand and knocked gently.
"Please come in." Zhou Youchen's familiar voice came from inside the house.
Su Jinyu pushed open the door. It was a little dark in the room. The curtains were half-drawn, and only a few faint lights came in, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
Zhou Youchen was working on documents at his desk. He looked up when he heard the noise and saw Su Jinyu. He was startled for a moment, and a barely perceptible look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
He quickly stood up and walked around the table, looking a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
After he finished speaking, he heard rustling sounds coming from the door. He turned around and saw a group of police officers peeking in curiously.
He strode to the door, his expression sullen, and said sharply: "Are you too idle? Go to work!"
He then closed the door, blocking all the curious eyes outside.
There were bursts of exclamations outside the door.
The police officers whispered to each other.
"Who is this? All those beautiful ladies who came here were kicked out."
"How can it be the same... Look at that appearance, that figure... that..."
"Be careful not to be heard by Captain Zhou, this might be the queen!!"
