Chapter 137 He Wrote the Agreement, It's Really the End
Huo Dongming chatted with Lu Zhe for a while, and An Lan invited Huo Dongming's lawyer into the office.
Lu Zhe had no idea what he was up to and was just trying to guess. Huo Dongming sat on the leather chair and said with a sullen look in his eyes.
"Lawyer Lu, I now entrust you to represent my wife and work with my lawyer to draft a divorce agreement. Please do your best to help her gain the maximum rights. I have no problem with that."
“…”
“…”
Both lawyers were devastated.
Huo Dongming's lawyer thought to himself: "No, this case is obviously a loss, why would they hire me?"
Lu Zhe: "I'm only going to stay at home for a few days. I'm leaving soon. What the hell is your wife doing..."
Huo Dongming's eyes were burning as the two lawyers carefully drafted the divorce agreement between Huo Dongming and Shang Wanwan. After each clause was drafted, Huo Dongming would carefully review it several times.
Then propose modifications until Shang Wanwan obtains the greatest benefit.
The agreement was made in duplicate, and Huo Dongming read every line of the text clearly.
Finally, he sent the two lawyers out, and the agreement lay on the table, like two landmines, deeply buried in his heart.
After the lawyer left, the door of his office was closed.
An Lan has been waiting outside.
Huo Dongming sat inside and smoked for the entire afternoon.
It was time to get off work, and An Lan saw Huo Dongming still sitting in the same position as before, but his ashtray was full.
There were two documents on the desk, and An Lan could clearly see the four words on them.
Divorce Agreement
"Mr. Huo——"
She had clearly hoped that one day Huo Dongming and Shang Wanwan would be as close as they are now. Seeing that Huo Dongming was getting serious about it, An Lan actually felt a little sad for him.
"Take this agreement and mail it."
He gave An Lan the address, picked up his coat and another agreement, and left the company with heavy steps.
The assistant waited for him for a long time in the parking space downstairs before he saw Huo Dongming stomping towards him.
He no longer had the majestic demeanor of the past, and his expression was obviously tired.
The divorce agreement was thrown on the back seat. Huo Dongming leaned his neck against the seat and drove for nearly forty minutes before returning to the villa.
The assistant had already gotten out of the car, but he was still sitting inside without moving an inch.
At night, all the lights in the villa came on.
In the past, at this time of year, when he got home, someone would be the first to run down from upstairs to get him a pair of slippers.
I would smile and tell him that dinner is ready and that it will be all his favorite dishes.
I cut some fruit for him and folded his clothes for bathing and changing and placed them neatly at the door.
A woman waited for him to come home from get off work for three years.
I'm afraid I'll never see these again.
He sat in the car and was unwilling to go in.
Upstairs, all traces of his abuse of Shang Wanwan should have been cleaned up long ago.
What can be erased is the past, what cannot be erased is the memory.
He will never forget the sight of Shang Wanwan lying in his arms, covered in blood.
What she couldn't forget the most was that he was the one who almost took her life.
maybe--
Maybe only by leaving me can she be truly happy.
Huo Dongming stared at the second floor from the car window until his eyes became sore. Something rolled down from the corners of his eyes and dripped onto the back of his hand, warm and wet.
The man in the rearview mirror was actually crying.
The servants also saw Mr. Huo's car parked in the yard, but no one dared to go forward to check.
Without Mrs. Huo, the house was like an empty one, so quiet it was suffocating.
Mrs. Zhang went back and forth several times and found that Mr. Huo was still in the car.
Finally, she couldn't help but go and look for him.
"Sir, it's raining, do you want to go inside?"
Mrs. Zhang looked concerned. The wife was not at home and the husband looked distraught.
If they had known this earlier, why would the couple have made such a fuss?
Huo Dongming woke up as if from a dream. He put out the cigarette in his hand and came out.
He couldn't sleep that night.
He didn't know where Li Luo took Shang Wanwan.
If he really wanted to find it, he could find it in minutes.
Huo Dongming also gets afraid sometimes. He is afraid to see Shang Wanwan, afraid that she will ignore him again.
For the first time he retreated, for the first time he became cowardly.
He didn't even dare to hand her the divorce agreement in person.
He caused indelible damage to her both mentally and physically.
Huo Dongming stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the dark sky in the distance, in a daze for the whole night.
East City Hospital
Li Luo stayed by Shang Wanwan's side for two days without closing his eyes.
Jin Jingxiao wanted to switch shifts with her, but she refused.
"That bastard, did he call?"
Li Luo asked while choking with sobs.
Jin Jingxiao held Li Luo's hand without saying a word.
"What a beast! Only he could do such a thing. He hurt Wanwan and he didn't even apologize? If he really worried about Wanwan, he would at least come here."
The hateful thing is that this man never showed up.
Shang Wanwan was right, she should choose to divorce Huo Dongming.
In other words, I shouldn't have married him in the first place.
"Let them resolve their emotional issues themselves."
Jin Jingxiao comforted Li Luo.
Shang Wanwan stayed in the hospital for several days and finally woke up on the fourth day.
She opened her eyes and saw white all around.
Li Luo's anxious face turned into one of great joy.
"Wanwan, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable? I'll call a doctor."
Seeing Shang Wanwan open her eyes, Li Luo almost burst into tears.
Shang Wanwan felt as if her whole body was falling apart, and there was obvious pain in her lower body.
The events of that night flooded into her memory like a tide, and her expression changed slightly.
"Am I in a hospital?"
Huo Dongming tortured her to death, and then she fainted. Later, she heard a lot of noisy noises in her ears, some of which she had never heard before. Huo Dongming called for an ambulance in a crying voice.
It seemed like a very long time ago. She looked at Li Luo and felt inexplicably at ease.
"That bastard has done this to you, Wanwan. If you don't wake up, I will kill him."
Shang Wanwan felt inexplicably painful when she heard Li Luo talking about Huo Dongming.
She forced a smile: "Why are you here?"
Li Luo has a lot of announcements to attend to. If something happens to her, will Li Luo always stay with her?
"You'd be dead if I wasn't here. That hard-hearted man hasn't even called me in the past few days, let alone come to see you."
Li Luo touched Shang Wanwan's thin and pointed chin, and said distressedly: "I didn't agree with you when you said you wanted a divorce before, Wanwan, but now I know he really doesn't love you. Let's get a divorce."
Shang Wanwan looked indifferent.
There was something surprisingly calm in her eyes.
"Luoluo, I have no choice, but you still have a choice."
Shang Wanwan held Li Luo's hand. She was miserable enough, and she had no way out.
Li Luo was driven crazy by her.
"At this time, why are you worrying about me instead of yourself? If Huo Dongming really doesn't agree to divorce, I will hide you and won't let him see you.
Look at you now, you are covered in wounds. If your mother knew, she would be so sad. "
Li Luo was crying as he spoke.
I was angry that I wasn't there with her at that time.
Li Luo thought that when she was in trouble, Shang Wanwan helped her and pulled her out of the abyss, but Shang Wanwan had to face it alone.
Shang Wanwan slightly closed her eyes, hiding the sadness that did not reach her eyes.
Her love for him cooled down.
"Maybe, this time Mr. Huo will really do it."
