Chapter 133 What gives you, Wen Changyu, the right to file for divorce?
He knocked on the door for quite a while before someone came to open it for him.
Xu Shanshan opened the door, because Wen Qianqian was still sleeping.
Upon seeing that it was Wen Changyu, Xu Shanshan's previously listless appearance immediately turned icy cold.
If you look closely, you'll see that there's a hint of disgust mixed in with the coldness.
Wen Changyu used to never think about it much or feel anything, but now that he has figured it out, he realizes that Xu Shanshan genuinely dislikes him.
Fortunately, he already knew Xu Shanshan's true thoughts, so Xu Shanshan's expression didn't discourage him too much.
Facing Xu Shanshan's cold and disgusted face, Wen Changyu simply said, "Can we talk?"
Xu Shanshan was not afraid of Wen Changyu, who came to her the next day. After Wen Changyu finished speaking, she let go of the door, turned around haughtily, and walked to the sofa.
Wen Changyu entered the room behind her and closed the door behind him.
Wen Changyu looked around the room. It was much smaller than the Wen family's Western-style house, but it had three bedrooms and a living room, which was enough for her and Wen Qianqian.
Xu Shanshan sat down on the sofa, and Wen Changyu looked around, found a chair, and moved to sit opposite Xu Shanshan.
After they sat down, Wen Changyu spoke first, "Are you and Qianqian settling in well here?"
Xu Shanshan glanced at him, her disgust growing even stronger. She didn't indulge him and immediately said, "Wen Changyu, what are you pretending for now?"
"Did you come here because you were worried about me and Qianqian?"
Xu Shanshan thought he was really hypocritical. She and Wen Qianqian had left the Wen family twice recently. The first time, it was understandable that Wen Changyu couldn't get out of bed and didn't come to see her. But what about this time?
This time, Wen Changyu was perfectly fine. She took Qianqian away for three days, and he didn't ask about her at all!
Then, after she met his daughter yesterday, he came to her door today. Anyone with a brain could see why he came, but he's still pretending.
Wen Changyu thought for a moment and shook his head. "Today is definitely not the day."
"But I knew you were staying here the day you left, and I knew you were safe. I didn't want to upset you, so..."
He subconsciously explained why he hadn't shown up even once after Xu Shanshan left the Wen family in anger.
But Xu Shanshan interrupted him again, "Is it meaningful for you to say these things?"
"You came to me today to seek justice for them because your daughter and mother were talking behind your back, didn't you?"
“Yes, that’s right. I took the money and told her to go back to Jiangcheng. What are you going to do? Beat me up?” Xu Shanshan sneered as she said this, as if she was sure that Wen Changyu wouldn’t have the guts.
The faint smile that Wen Changyu had been trying to maintain could no longer be kept up.
Xu Shanshan was still sarcastically asking, "Are you kicking me out?"
"I don't live in your Wen family anymore!" Xu Shanshan shrugged.
Her mocking and arrogant demeanor seemed to indicate that she was certain Wen Changyu would still act like a coward in front of her.
But Wen Changyu said, "Shanshan, I came here today just to tell you that I am willing to set you free."
After he calmly finished speaking, the arrogance and sarcasm on Xu Shanshan's face froze, making her face appear somewhat distorted.
Wen Changyu continued, "If you had told me back then that you didn't want to marry me, I wouldn't have bothered you."
Xu Shanshan's eyelids trembled, and her voice trembled as she spoke, "...What do you mean?"
Wen Changyu remained calm and said, "Shanshan, let's get a divorce!"
"Since it started as a mistake, today we'll end that mistake!"
Xu Shanshan stared at his calm face, her facial muscles twitching uncontrollably. "Divorce?" Her voice rose uncontrollably.
Wen Changyu nodded.
Xu Shanshan gripped the sofa tightly with her hands at her sides, her eyes fixed on Wen Changyu sitting opposite her.
Divorce? She wanted a divorce, but why was Wen Changyu the one to bring it up?
On what grounds?
Thinking this, Xu Shanshan excitedly asked, "Why are you bringing up divorce?"
Her voice was shrill, and she even involuntarily lifted herself off the sofa, "Wen Changyu, what right do you have to ask me for a divorce?"
Wen Changyu "..."
He was at a loss. For a moment, he was still hoping that they had misunderstood each other, that Xu Shanshan didn't not want to continue living with him, and that perhaps... perhaps it was just something she said in anger.
But the next second, Xu Shanshan's words shattered his illusions: "What right do you have to bring up divorce? If anyone should bring it up, it's me, Xu Shanshan, who doesn't want you."
"Wen Changyu, what gives you the right to ask for a divorce?"
What do you, Wen Changyu, have?
She raised her hand and pointed at Wen Changyu. Across the coffee table, her slender finger was almost poking at Wen Changyu's face. She pointed at Wen Changyu and angrily denounced, "Besides being lucky and staying in the army at a good time, what do you have?"
"Your whole family are peasants, uneducated. Is there anything else on your mind besides sex?"
"Something as filthy as you is torture for me to see you every day."
"I wish I were blind, so I wouldn't be so disgusted by you every day that I can't eat."
Xu Shanshan's words were like sharp arrows, piercing Wen Changyu's hopeful heart and leaving it riddled with holes.
The calmness on his face vanished, replaced by sorrow. His lips were slightly parted, moving, but no sound came out.
The color drained from her face in an instant, leaving her as pale as a sheet of paper.
After a long silence, he said in a trembling voice, "...So, I was such a bad person in your eyes."
He gave a sad smile. "I'm sorry, I really don't know any of that."
"I thought... I thought you had your eye on me back then too."
“I…I asked Wang Wei to ask you, and he said…he said you were willing to come out and meet me,” Wen Changyu recalled the past, wanting to prove to Xu Shanshan that he had not forced her, and that he truly believed she was genuinely willing to get to know him and marry him.
Upon hearing this, Xu Shanshan told him matter-of-factly, "Yes, I agree. I can't disagree. My family background is bad, and I need to ride on your coattails..."
Seeing her patting her chest and getting more and more excited as she spoke, Wen Changyu quickly said, "I never thought that way. The reason I was willing to marry you was simply because I was attracted to you as a person."
Xu Shanshan scoffed, "Someone who's interested in me?"
She raised her hand and patted her face. "You're after my face, aren't you?"
Wen Changyu didn't argue, "Yes, you're good-looking. I took a liking to you at first sight."
Xu Shanshan continued to mock, "You only care about my appearance, but you say you care about me as a person? Wen Changyu, how hypocritical are you?"
As she spoke frankly, she even cried in anger, raising her hand to wipe away her tears. "Perhaps I shouldn't call you hypocritical, I should say you're uncultured, because you don't understand the difference between valuing a person and valuing a face."
When she mentioned his lack of education again, Wen Changyu calmed down. He was born in a turbulent era, came from a poor family, and joined the army at a young age, which meant he was destined not to be like Miss Xu Shanshan, who could attend a Western-style school and have excellent learning conditions.
He learned much of the essential knowledge he needed later in the military.
So his lack of education is truly undeniable.
However... he never hid the fact that he was uneducated from Xu Shanshan from the very beginning.
