Chapter 156 Did you plan to leave from the very beginning?
Shi Nian arrived at the hospital much later.
She hadn't planned to come, but the old lady called her.
“Niannian, we know about your divorce from Yanzhi. Your grandfather… he has fallen ill.”
The old lady said, "I know you may not want to see Yanzhi, but would you like to come and see us, the two old folks, and talk about the divorce?"
So, Shi Nian came over.
She came with Lin Zhihuan, and was holding Sisi.
Sisi went to Lin Zhihuan's office to play, while Shi Nian went to the old man's ward.
Lu Yanzhi was standing at the door of the ward, but the elderly couple wouldn't let him in.
When he saw Shi Nian, he wanted to say something, but Shi Nian ignored him completely, walked straight into the ward, and closed the door.
Lu Yanzhi was left standing alone outside the door, looking at the closed ward door with a heavy heart.
...
In the hospital ward.
Lu Qiansheng has woken up.
"Niannian, you're here," Lu Qiansheng said weakly.
Shi Nian stood here, her feelings a jumble of emotions.
Finally, she nodded and called out, "Grandpa Lu."
Instead of calling him "Grandpa" like Lu Yanzhi, he called him "Grandpa Lu".
This time, the elderly couple also noticed the name.
Both of them were helpless.
All three of them fell silent.
But in the end, he still spoke up.
After all, she came this time because the old lady said she wanted to discuss matters related to the divorce.
Of course, there was also the reason for visiting, but that wasn't the main reason.
She has already divorced Lu Yanzhi, and his family will only ever be his family.
Everything else was fine. She didn't complain about refusing the money and things she was entitled to. Although she and Lu Yanzhi had signed a prenuptial agreement that guaranteed the group's interests, and their marriage was only for one year, those were what she deserved.
However, the old couple, being former members of the Shi family, still insisted that she discuss it with Lu Yanzhi.
“Niannian, that’s a company matter. My wife and I have long since stopped dealing with company matters.”
Shi Nian felt helpless.
Finally, before Shi Nian left, Lu Qiansheng said, "Niannian, our Lu family only recognizes you as our granddaughter-in-law. I will absolutely not let Han Wei into the family!"
Shi Nian lowered her eyes slightly and remained silent.
She has no relation to Lu Yanzhi anymore, so how the Lu family views her is none of her business.
This visit was her last act of kindness towards the Lu family.
Thinking it over, Shi Nian opened the door and went out.
Lu Yanzhi was standing outside the door.
He looked much more haggard, his eyes slightly red, as he stared at her.
“I think we can have a good talk,” he said.
Shi Nian didn't look at him, but instead looked at a point to the side, avoiding his gaze.
“There’s nothing to talk about,” Shi Nian said. “I just want my things back from the Shi family.”
Lu Yanzhi lowered his eyes to look at Shi Nian, who was not even glancing at him.
“I can’t give it to you,” he said.
He was afraid that if he gave her the Shi family's things, she would really leave.
“Lu Yanzhi.” Shi Nian raised her eyes and finally looked at him. “You promised me that it was mine, and it was also written in our divorce agreement that I had the right to take it with me.”
Lu Yanzhi looked at her sadly: "Then let's go through the legal process."
Let him drag this out for five months.
Clench your hands tightly and try to regulate your breathing.
“You have no use for them,” she said. “Only I can use those uncopyable encrypted messages and that encryption system with ease. It would be difficult for you to get started, and it has little connection with the Lu family. If you want to set up a financial investment department, you can create a department that is completely under your control.”
“I know,” he said.
He never questioned this.
He just wanted to leave himself time and room to properly explain things to her.
"So," Shi Nian's emotions shifted again, "you just want to disgust me?"
She said, "You know perfectly well that I have a very high chance of winning through litigation, but you're just dragging this out?"
Lu Yanzhi didn't reply immediately, but just looked at her.
He knew she was telling the truth, and that she could take it away.
He is indeed dragging his feet.
It's because he's unwilling to let go.
He didn't look at the agreement carefully that day; if he had known she might have already made up her mind, he wouldn't have signed it at all.
The corridor was silent until finally, Lu Yanzhi spoke.
"Niannian," he called her name.
There was no response from Shi Nian.
"Did you plan to leave from the very beginning?" Lu Yanzhi asked.
Shi Nian did not respond, but her attitude was clear.
"I know Han Wei's situation has hurt you deeply," he said, his voice filled with sorrow, "but I have my reasons..."
"Difficulties?" Shi Nian laughed, then glared at Lu Yanzhi.
Seven years have passed, the child in country F, and the child she didn't have when she fell down the stairs—all of this can be covered up by his "difficult reasons."
With her right hand clenched tightly, she said, word by word, "In your eyes, am I really that cheap?"
Lu Yanzhi didn't know how to explain, so he just looked at her.
"I'll ask you one last time, will you give me the things from the Shi family or not?" she asked, her eyes red.
But he remained silent.
“Okay,” she said. “Then let’s do as you say and go through the legal process.”
There was no need to stay any longer, so Shi Nian turned her back and left.
"Niannian." Lu Yanzhi's voice came from behind, but she didn't stop.
"I know all you've ever wanted is a home."
"You've decorated our home beautifully."
"I like having you by my side, and I've gotten used to having you by my side. Waiting for Han Wei..."
"From now on, we can be very happy together, won't we?"
“We still have our home, our children, and that Tanzanite…”
The hospital corridor was bathed in cold, white light.
He knew perfectly well, he understood everything, he knew perfectly well that all she wanted was a home.
A home with a loved one and children.
He destroyed all of this with his own hands!
Overwhelmed by hatred, Shi Nian could no longer hold back and strode back.
She raised her right hand and slapped him hard.
"Smack!"
A slap landed hard on his face.
He didn't look away, but looked at her sadly.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
...
Shi Nian's eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth as she slapped him hard across the face one slap after another.
She hated his appearance, hated his threats, hated her own powerlessness, and hated that she could only be delayed by him.
The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the corridor.
She didn't know how many times she hit him; his face was already swollen high, and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth. When she touched it, it hit his face, leaving it a bright red stain.
He didn't flinch, he just stared at her with reddened eyes.
In the end, Shi Nian clenched her trembling hands.
Without saying another word, she suppressed her surging emotions, refused to look at him again, and turned to leave.
