Chapter 1199 Divorce, let yourself go
Su Xiao lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then said, "For the past two days, I've been thinking about what path to take next. Every time I almost came to a conclusion, the road ahead seemed to be blocked by a layer of fog. Until this moment, I finally knew what I wanted.
"Sister Qiurong, no matter what, I still want to thank you. Let's just let that matter go. Don't be too hard on yourself. It really has nothing to do with you. You're not the problem. We'll still be good friends in the future."
"No, Su Xiao, I came to you today because I'm worried about you. I want you to hold on. I'm afraid you'll be unable to let go. Although He Tao and I have different goals, I don't approve of you going that far. After all, you've been together for so many years and have so many children.
People say that the reason why many women don't divorce even though they are not happy with their lives is because of their children. There is a difference between children who grow up in a family with healthy parents and those who grow up in a single-parent family. Although Yanyan and Yangyang are very mature, they are still children after all, so you have to think carefully.
When I first learned that He Tao had done such a jerk, the first thing I wanted was a divorce. I felt I couldn't continue living with such a shameless man, but when I calmed down, I realized I couldn't do it at all. I thought about my two children.
"Well, Sister Qiu Rong, you're right, but I really can't live like this anymore. Just like you said, you're worried I'll commit suicide. In fact, I've already died once in the past two days. I always thought Yun Che loved me very much, that we only had each other in our hearts, no matter how much external temptation there was, no matter how time passed, we would never change. But there is a difference between reality and fantasy. This society is full of temptations, and it's not something I can change.
"The reason I came back from the brink of death was because I thought of my children. If I wanted to be with them as they grew up, I had to stay away from all this pain. Maybe they would lack some love, but it would be better for me to be alive than for them to be without a mother. Once I die, they really might never be happy in their lives." Su Xiao said quietly.
Zheng Qiurong was no longer able to refute or persuade, and all she could do was cry.
Su Xiao carefully wiped away the tears from Zheng Qiurong's face with her delicate hands. "Sister Qiurong, don't cry. I'm fine. It will eventually pass. I believe I will recover as soon as possible."
"Su Xiao!" Zheng Qiurong called her name repeatedly, and her tears could not stop flowing.
Su Xiao stopped helping her wipe it, turned around and looked out the window, and fell into a long silence again.
Later, Zheng Qiurong's phone rang. It was her son's school calling, saying that two children had fought and her son had broken the other's head.
Zheng Qiurong couldn't help but get anxious, and couldn't help but call her son a little bastard. "He's causing trouble for me at this critical moment. He's just like his bastard father!"
"Sister Qiurong, please go and take a look. Fights between children can be serious or minor. You don't have to worry about me. We can contact each other on WeChat when we have time. Go quickly." Su Xiao said.
Zheng Qiurong had no choice but to leave first.
In the afternoon, Zhao Yixuan came.
"Ball!" Xiaobao recognized the person and immediately shouted excitedly.
Zhao Yixuan's heart softened when he saw the little guy. He quickly picked him up and said with a smile, "It's uncle, not Qiuqiu."
"Chirp!" The little guy has just learned to speak and doesn't know some words very well.
Zhao Yixuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he didn't correct her. Zheng Zheng just came out of the room, so he played with the two little guys for a while, then asked Aunt Huang, "Where's Hui'er? In the room, right?"
"Yes, she has been in there all the time. Even when Miss Zheng came this afternoon, we couldn't get her out." Aunt Huang had a worried look on her face, and she hardly relaxed at all.
The smile on Zhao Yixuan's face suddenly disappeared. He said to Zhengzheng and Xiaobao, "You guys play first. Uncle will go find your mother and will come back to play with you again." Then he came to the door of Su Xiao's dormitory.
He still knocked on the door first.
"Hui'er, it's me."
After a while, the door opened gently.
Zhao Yixuan felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw his sister, who was obviously different from usual. However, he still joked as usual, "It's only been a few days since we last met. How come you look so ugly? Why don't you take a look in the mirror? They say women love beauty. I wonder if you were born with the wrong gender."
Su Xiao looked at him intently, her eyes burning with warmth.
Zhao Yixuan directly hugged her in his arms, his tone returning to sadness. "It's no big deal. We are here. Besides, it's not a big deal. Although it's a little uncomfortable, you are a couple, so loving. Some minor flaws can be ignored."
Zhao Yixuan said this, but he actually had other thoughts in his mind.
Precisely because they are so in love, they have higher expectations and cannot accept even the slightest flaw.
If it were an ordinary couple, maybe they would just get through it, but for Hui'er, she still retained her girlish romance and dreamy personality most of the time, so he was not very optimistic.
Su Xiao tried her best to hold back her tears and came out of her brother's arms.
"Brother, you've lost weight recently. Are you busy with work? Is Huan'er okay?"
"She's going to the southwest with a medical team these days and won't be back for a week. I'll accompany her to see you then."
"No, you're so busy at work. You don't actually need to come today."
"What nonsense are you talking about? My sister has been hiding in her room for two or three days and no one can persuade her. How can I, her brother, not come?" Zhao Yixuan rubbed her hair, his eyes full of pity and love.
Su Xiao suddenly felt uncomfortable again, and finally couldn't help but choked out, "I'm sorry, I made you worry."
"Since you know we're worried, then cheer up. It's no big deal. Remember what I told you before? With your status, even if you remarry with a few children, the people waiting to marry you can line up from Qianmen Street to the north of the city."
Su Xiao smiled hesitantly, knowing in her heart that her brother was just joking.
It was just a joke before, and now it is even more impossible to be true.
But she thought about it, looked at her brother seriously, and asked, "Brother, you endured and didn't divorce Qu Si. Was it because you thought our parents wouldn't agree? But how did you get through it? Didn't you find it hard?"
Zhao Yixuan was smart and thoughtful. He couldn't help but hold his breath when he heard her say that. He looked at her and said in a trembling voice, "Hui'er, what do you want to say? You..."
"Well, brother, I want to divorce him." Gu Zhiyao said it resolutely, and the moment she made this decision, she felt relieved, as if she had broken free from a mountain that was pressing down on her.
"These past few days I've been thinking about what I should do next. Should I pretend this never happened, or should I just not let it go? Turns out, I can't get over this myself. As soon as I close my eyes, those images come flooding back, swallowing me up like a flood, leaving me completely breathless.
How can I live a normal life like this? I'm so afraid that one day I won't be able to bear it anymore and do something I can't control, causing an irreparable tragedy. So I think it's better to let myself go."
