I was sitting in the car when this scene startled me so much that my brow furrowed.
"Okay, Grandma, I understand. I have something to do, I'll talk to you properly when I go back for dinner this weekend."
After hanging up the phone, I stared out the window.
There was an oxygen tank on Gu Yanqing's stretcher.
After he was lifted into the vehicle, medical staff immediately climbed up to perform CPR on him, racing against time.
Li Qinglan was helped into the ambulance, and you could see from afar that she was crying very badly.
When Gu Yanqing collapsed just now, my first thought was that he was faking it, using a self-inflicted injury as a ruse.
But now it seems that it wasn't a pretense; he really is sick, and quite seriously so.
Could it really be a relapse of an old illness?
The ambulance sped away, and I was still somewhat dazed until my phone rang, snapping me out of my daze.
Upon closer inspection, it was Su Shenglin.
My mind started racing, and the lawyer's words inexplicably popped into my head—even if the court has granted a divorce, you can't remarry immediately, otherwise it would constitute bigamy.
What am I thinking? I'm actually fantasizing about marrying Su Shenglin?
I quickly shook my head to banish these chaotic and audacious thoughts.
"Hello."
Su Shenglin's tone was gentle and deep: "It's over, isn't it?"
"Um."
I gave a low reply, sensing that he must have somehow found out that my trial was over.
Otherwise, the call wouldn't have happened so coincidentally.
"Should I congratulate you on escaping your misery?"
I gave a very slight laugh, my heart heavy. "How did you know the result?"
"Just guessing. Didn't you say at noon that you were confident of victory?" he replied with a smile.
I suddenly felt very tired and weak all over. I didn't even want to say anything. I just said faintly, "Yes, the judge has granted the divorce. But we still have to wait for the divorce decree to be issued, and then wait another fifteen days. If the other party does not appeal, the decree will take effect."
"So complicated? How long will it take before we're truly divorced?" he asked in surprise.
"I'm not sure either, but the judgment usually takes ten days to be issued, so it's been almost a month, which is about the same as my divorce cooling-off period..."
At this point, I suddenly felt like I had wasted my time.
Actually, with evidence of Gu Yutian's crime, I could also demand that Gu Yanqing agree to the divorce immediately after the cooling-off period.
The time required for both is about the same.
"It is indeed a bit slow, but at least we can see the light at the end of the tunnel," Su Shenglin comforted him.
"Yes."
"Since everything went smoothly, how about we have a celebratory meal tonight?"
I was slightly taken aback; I hadn't expected him to be so eager to ask me out to dinner.
