126 Anxious
The staff member patiently explained, "You can go and take a look at the new marriage law promulgated by the state."
Xie Yaoyao, unwilling to give up, searched online.
She had never heard of a cooling-off period for divorce in Hong Kong, so this was the first time she had ever heard of having to wait another month before getting a divorce.
She had always thought that she would get her divorce certificate today and say goodbye to Liang Zhen.
Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) is full of complaints about the divorce cooling-off period, and Xie Yaoyao felt like she was going to faint.
"I don't know the marriage law, but we came all the way from Hong Kong to get a divorce certificate. Can't you process it for us today?"
The staff member looked at her, then at the man behind her; the two didn't look like a couple.
As for why this feeling exists, it's because when things reach the point of divorce, whether it's the man or the woman, one of them will always be sad.
But neither of them was sad.
The woman was eager to get a divorce, while the man seemed indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him whether or not they divorced.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Xie, these are the rules, and we can't go against them."
Xie Yaoyao felt a sense of powerlessness and didn't know where to vent it, so she suppressed the urge to complain.
"Then please make an appointment for us first."
She knew that this kind of institution was the most dangerous; with this regulation in place, she had no chance of getting a divorce certificate today.
At this moment, Liang Zhen finally spoke up, "It's okay, Yao Yao, we can come back in a month to get the divorce certificate."
Xie Yaoyao had absolutely no desire to make another trip to Shenzhen, but she was at a loss for what to do.
The staff helped them register their information. One month later, on September 30th, a weekday, the registration date was announced.
Xie Yaoyao walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau dejectedly, completely unaware of Liang Zhen's gaze upon her.
When Liang Zhen first saw Xie Yaoyao, he almost didn't recognize her.
When he first met Xie Yaoyao, she had already become very fat.
What he saw was a chubby version of Xie Yaoyao, so naturally he didn't have much interest in her.
Xie Yaoyao has lost a lot of weight. Although she still weighs 160 pounds, she is tall and lost weight through exercise, so her muscles are very firm.
So apart from being a little chubby, she's not much different in appearance from the former Chi Xiaoman.
Liang Zhen had originally received 100 million from Huo Yanxi, and the money had already been cashed into his account.
He didn't really have any attachment to Xie Yaoyao; she was just a fat woman whom Huo Yanxi gave away because he liked her.
But now, seeing her beautiful appearance after losing weight, he felt a stirring in his heart.
He hasn't even touched her in over five years of marriage; he feels like he's wasting his time.
Almost instantly, Liang Zhen's lustful desires began to arise.
He looked at Xie Yaoyao's delicate features and said, "Yaoyao, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful after losing weight."
It has to be Huo Yanxi's sharp eye that he was able to see through her plump appearance and discover that she was actually a great beauty.
Xie Yaoyao had been overweight for five years and had been disliked for five years. When she suddenly heard a compliment, she felt a little embarrassed.
"Thank you, but we can't get the divorce certificate today. We'll have to trouble you to come back in a month."
Liang Zhen stared straight at her.
Perhaps because she has changed so much, she is now a sexy stunner in his eyes.
So what if she's a little chubby? She should feel nice to the touch.
Liang Zhen thought to himself, then looked at his watch again, "Yaoyao, it's dinner time, let's go get some food."
Xie Yaoyao was in a hurry to return to Gangcheng.
She was worried about Xie Ziyu being home alone.
"No need, Liang Zhen. Yu Bao is home alone. I have to go back."
Liang Zhen blocked her way, suppressing the ill intent in his eyes, "I drove here, let's go back together after we eat."
Xie Yaoyao looked at Liang Zhen in front of her. She hadn't received the divorce certificate yet, so she didn't want to make things too tense with Liang Zhen.
She pursed her lips. "Okay."
Liang Zhen said, "My car is parked in the parking lot. Let's walk there."
Xie Yaoyao had no other choice but to call Xie Ziyu.
The watch phone has a video function, and Xie Yaoyao saw Xie Ziyu playing with Doubao in the living room. She felt a little relieved and didn't feel the urgency to rush home.
The mother and son chatted for a few minutes before hanging up.
Xie Yaoyao had already walked up to Liang Zhen's car. When she saw the logo, she was surprised to find that it was a Maybach worth two or three million.
The car is brand new, and it doesn't even have license plates yet.
Xie Yaoyao felt a surge of suspicion. "Attorney Liang, when did you buy the car?"
Liang Zhen picked it up at the 4S store yesterday; he originally only wanted to buy a Mercedes-Benz.
But since he had 100 million in his account and didn't like Mercedes, he happened to buy a Maybach that had been ordered a month earlier, after a bankrupt rich kid skipped out on his bill.
Liang Zhen touched his nose. "I bought it a few days ago. Let's get in the car."
Xie Yaoyao was unaware that Liang Zhen had sold her car to buy it, assuming that Liang Zhen's business had been booming lately.
She said, "It's a nice car, it must be very expensive, right?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Zhen felt a surge of vanity. "Three million or so isn't expensive."
He now has a small goal in mind, and three million is nothing to him.
Xie Yaoyao smiled and saw Liang Zhen open the passenger door. She bent down, got in, and thanked him again.
As the car door closed, Xie Yaoyao smelled the leather odor of the new car and rolled down the window.
Seeing that Liang Zhen had also gotten into the car, she asked him, "Let's go eat somewhere near the border, and then go back to Hong Kong."
Liang Zhen nodded. "Okay."
Liang Zhen started the car and drove out of the parking lot. On the way, Xie Yaoyao's phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID; it was Huo Yanxi calling. Remembering what happened last night, she didn't answer.
Liang Zhen turned his head to look at her, "Who called? Why didn't you answer?"
Xie Yaoyao flipped her phone screen down, not wanting Liang Zhen to see the caller ID.
Liang Zhen smiled slightly, but didn't say anything more, focusing on driving.
I made call after call, but no one answered.
Huo Yanxi suddenly became very agitated. He stood in front of the French windows with a frown, listening to the dial tone on the phone, extremely annoyed.
Pei Yan stood not far behind him, watching him repeatedly dial Xie Yaoyao's number like a trapped beast.
At this point, Xie Yaoyao and Liang Zhen should have already obtained their divorce certificate, so why isn't she answering the phone?
Is she avoiding him, or has something unexpected happened?
The phone rang again, and the customer service representative gave a cold, emotionless reply. Huo Yanxi's anxiety was palpable, even in the smallest detail.
"I can't get in touch with her. Has something happened to her?"
Pei Yan felt that his boss was a bit obsessed. "President Huo, what could possibly go wrong if we just go get a divorce certificate?"
Huo Yanxi felt a vague unease and turned to look at Pei Yan. "I've asked you to have someone keep an eye on Liang Zhen and ask him where they are right now."
Seeing that he was about to go crazy with worry, Pei Yan quickly made a phone call, which was answered very quickly.
Pei Yan got straight to the point, asking where Liang Zhen was, as the other party was about to report to him.
"Liang Zhen has a new car, and he's taking Teacher Xie to the border right now."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't hang up the phone, but looked at Huo Yanxi and said, "They're on their way back to Hong Kong."
Huo Yanxi's furrowed brows did not relax. He said, "I'll go pick her up."
