Chapter 138 Huo Dongming, Goodbye, Never See You Again
Jin Jingxiao walked into the ward with a briefcase in his hand.
Li Luo realized something and immediately stood up to block Shang Wanwan's sight.
"I'm going to go out for a while, you take a rest first."
She tucked the quilt in for Shang Wanwan, turned around, pulled Jin Jingxiao and walked out.
"???"
"Bring it here."
Li Luo reached out and tore open the document in Jin Jingxiao's hand, and inside was indeed a divorce agreement.
She read them carefully line by line. Huo Dongming was very generous and all the conditions he offered were attractive.
They share money, houses and shares as dividends.
It was more than what the emperor had paid in exchange for ceding land and paying compensation after his defeat in the war.
"He is quite sincere."
Li Luo sneered, took out a lipstick from his pocket, opened the lid, and drew a big cross on the four words "Divorce Agreement".
“…”
"Give it back to me intact."
Jin Jingxiao stared at her pretty face and said, "Shouldn't you let your best friend make the decision on this matter?"
"What are you doing? Do you think you can get rid of Wanwan like this? Tell him that you can get a divorce and explain it to Wanwan in person.
Wanwan has been with him for three years. This is her second marriage. Is it enough to just divide half of the property? These three years of youth, the pain in her heart, and the physical injury this time, what about the child she aborted last time?"
Li Luo was furious, but he endured it again and again and did not tear up the agreement.
Jin Jingxiao remained silent.
The conditions offered by Huo Dongming are tempting enough for anyone.
A girl's three years of youth are exchanged for a generous nest egg for the next few decades. From his personal perspective, he thinks it's better to quit while he's ahead.
Li Luo disagreed and felt that Shang Wanwan was really wronged.
"All right."
Jin Jingxiao was helpless. Perhaps he fell in love with Li Luo half because of her personality.
If she was not forced by the situation, Li Luo would never be willing to stay by his side and become a shameful mistress in the future.
He could only compensate her for her sacrifice with material things and his mere companionship.
Shang Wanwan saw Li Luo coming back and said lightly.
"What happened just now? Didn't Jin Jingxiao come?"
How come she is the only one who came back?
"Wanwan, if, I mean if Huo Dongming really wants to divorce you, what will you do?"
There was another reason why Li Luo asked Jin Jingxiao to take the divorce agreement. She was not sure whether Shang Wanwan had really let go of Huo Dongming.
After all, that bastard had hurt her so many times, but the silly girl still believed that her love would move him one day.
Shang Wanwan narrowed her eyes slightly and answered with a still calm expression.
"Isn't that a good thing? After all these years, I'm really tired. Li Luo, if someone doesn't love me, his heart won't be warm even if I try harder."
That's enough for today.
Li Luo did not see sadness or despair on Shang Wanwan's face, only calmness.
She seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
The heavy burden on his heart finally fell, and Li Luo felt relieved.
"What Jingxiao brought in just now was the divorce agreement that Huo Dongming sent to you. He agreed, and I asked Jingxiao to return the agreement. It's better for you to talk it out face to face. Don't let him get away with it like this."
Li Luo comforted Shang Wanwan, as if to give her strength.
"Don't be afraid. If you have any requests, just ask directly. He has wasted so many years of your youth. It's right for you to ask for compensation. I will go with you then."
Shang Wanwan continued to listen to her expressionlessly, but under the sheets, where she couldn't be seen, her hands were clenched tightly...
…
Huo Group
Huo Dongming looked at the returned divorce agreement in front of him, which was scribbled with lipstick and was horrible.
There was a message from Li Luo in the phone.
"If you have something to say, tell Wanwan in person. She was sick and you sent her a divorce agreement without even asking.
When you got married, your family didn't treat her as a human being. You kept your marriage secret for three years, and when you divorced, you did it the same way as in the old society. Huo Dongming, you should be a man and shoulder your responsibilities. Don't do sneaky things that make people hate you."
Huo Dongming threw the returned agreement into the trash can and stuffed his own agreement into the shredder. Watching the pieces of paper falling into the wastebasket like snowflakes, Huo Dongming felt inexplicably relieved.
It turns out that for some things in this world, the process is torture, but the result is relief.
It was raining outside the window. He was sitting in the office, shrouded in gloom.
He was in great pain during the days when Shang Wanwan was away. He was worried about her condition but dared not ask about it.
After the agreement was sent out, he had nightmares all night long. Every time he dreamed, he saw Shang Wanwan signing the agreement covered in blood, saying that she never wanted to see him again in this life.
He imagined countless endings, hoping that this agreement would be like the current one and end up in nothing.
An Lan walked into the office, which was filled with a faint smell of nicotine.
She has gotten used to it these days, and today is the day with the least smell.
An Lan felt that if Shang Wanwan didn't show up again, President Huo would probably go crazy.
She heard from the maid that Shang Wanwan was admitted to the hospital.
"Have someone clean the office. Get rid of the smell as well."
Huo Dongming seemed to have regained some of his vitality. He put out the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray, interrupting her fantasy.
Huo Dongming took his coat and went downstairs. He got into the car and stroked his cell phone. In the address book, his fingertips stopped on the word "wife".
After thinking for a long time, he still tried to broadcast it.
Huo Dongming thought Shang Wanwan would not answer the phone, but when he heard her say "Hello" on the other end of the phone, he felt as if he was in another world.
"Wanwan, are you feeling better?"
Huo Dongming paused for a long time before he spoke. His voice was so hoarse that it even sounded a little tearful.
Shang Wanwan looked around, not sure if he was crying.
She gently played with her bed sheet, raised her lips slightly, and said, "Okay."
Then, tears started to flow.
Huo Dongming trembled in his voice: "That's good——"
The phone fell into deathly silence, and both of them held the phone close to their ears. Just when Shang Wanwan thought Huo Dongming was going to hang up, he finally spoke.
"Let's meet."
Without waiting for Shang Wanwan's response, he continued, "Li Luo is right. Even if we want to divorce, we should make things clear. We can't just get rid of you with an agreement."
Shang Wanwan bit her lips lightly, her tears flowing like beads from a broken string.
"I think we don't need to meet."
she said.
She shed tears not because she still had feelings for him or was nostalgic for him.
She was crying for her youth and the past that could never be returned to.
"Wanwan——"
Huo Dongming seemed to have a mouthful of hot sand, and his voice became extremely hoarse.
"Give me a chance, at least let's meet. I also want to know how you are doing."
He felt very sorry for hurting her like that.
Whatever she had done to herself, she had certainly been trying to make up for it over the past three years by taking very good care of him.
In his marriage with her, he enjoyed care, love, and warmth that he had never had before.
Shang Wanwan gently wiped away her tears and tried to make her voice sound calm.
"No, we can just talk over the phone. Please send me the agreement Luoluo sent back. I will sign it no matter what the conditions are.
Huo Dongming, we can really end it now. In fact, loving you was a mistake from the beginning to the end. No matter how hard I try, I can never enter your world. Your heart shuts me out. "
She paused, took a deep breath, and continued.
"I have tried hard and fought for it. I don't regret the years I have been with you. I have truly felt the joy of loving someone, and also the pain of not being loved. However, all of this is about to end."
The rain outside the window stopped, and the setting sun left some light shining on Shang Wanwan's profile.
Her lips were slightly moistened, like a gorgeous flower that had just bloomed. Shang Wanwan looked out the window, and her face lit up.
She moved her lips slightly: "Goodbye, Huo Dongming, never see you again..."
When Huo Dongming heard the busy tone on his mobile phone, his heart died.
