Chapter 51 Divorce 1
Get dressed and wash up.
I went downstairs to walk around, then stretched outside the villa. I saw Aunt Wang weeding and asked, "Have you seen Mr. Shen?"
"Mr. didn't go to work today. He asked for leave."
"oh."
Lin Xi thought about it and realized that it must be in the study.
He turned around and went into the villa, went up to the second floor, went to the study, and pushed the door open.
"Shen Yan."
He was there.
at work.
Lin Xi asked him why he didn't go to the company. He said he had taken a leave of absence and would take her to the summer resort in the evening.
September in northern Beijing is even hotter than July and August.
"Why did you ask for leave?"
"I want to spend more time with you."
"I see."
Ever since Lin Xi fell ill, Chen Yan started asking for leave every two or three days.
"I suddenly realized that the older I get, the more troublesome I become." Lin Xi said bitterly.
"Not bad." He said lightly.
The woman smiled, and then tears flashed in her beautiful eyes.
I closed my eyes gently and suppressed the urge to cry.
I didn't want to disturb Shen Yan anymore. I found a book, sat on the sofa in the study, and stayed by Shen Yan's side.
At noon, the two of them sat face to face in the living room dining area and had Western-style afternoon tea.
Chen Yan had to continue working, but Lin Xi felt a little tired and went back to her room to sleep.
**
The sun sets in the west, the sky turns red and the clouds spread across the horizon. This is a beautiful sight gifted by nature.
Lin Xi was sleepy, moved slightly, and looked at Chen Yan beside her.
He also fell asleep, and no one knew when he fell asleep next to her.
I looked at the time and it was only six o'clock. I felt it was still early, so I closed my eyes and slept for a while with Chen Yan.
At around nine o'clock, they drove to the summer resort.
They lived in the suburbs of northern Beijing, and the Summer Resort was outside the Fifth Ring Road. One was in the northernmost part of Beijing, and the other was in the southernmost part. It took more than an hour to drive there.
As the name suggests, the Mountain Resort is located on the mountain, where there are green mountains and clear waters and famous flowers all over the mountain.
It is said that there are no less than fifty varieties of flowers planted on the entire mountain, which are truly colorful and gorgeous.
The Summer Resort adopts Japanese decoration style. As soon as you enter this large mansion covering an area of 800 square meters, you will feel a cool breeze.
After pushing open the wooden door, you need to walk along a winding bluestone road, then through a long corridor, and finally reach where Lin Xi and Shen Yan live.
There is a rockery and a fish pond in the yard where I live. There are blooming lotus flowers and a few small goldfish in the pond.
The cool air is not the kind that makes you shiver, but it is refreshing and cool, which is very comfortable.
This is the front yard. Walking towards the backyard, there is a hot spring with steam and smoke rising from it.
There is a small round dining table next to the hot spring, and on the small table is a large fruit plate, which is emitting cool air.
So much so that every piece of cut watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, strawberry, or blueberry is icy cold.
Still in the early postpartum period, the doctor advised to avoid sexual intercourse as much as possible. So, Lin Xi soaked in the hot spring alone.
Late at night, I hugged Chen Yan, my head felt dizzy, and I fell asleep in a short while.
The next morning, he woke up earlier than Chen Yan.
Seeing the phone on the bedside table vibrating, she picked it up and saw that the caller was Li Tian.
"Why would Li Tian call Chen Yan so early in the morning? It's only seven o'clock now." Lin Xi muttered to herself, a little unhappy, and swiped her finger directly.
A minute later, the phone rang again.
Seeing that Chen Yan was still sleeping, Lin Xi went outside to answer the call.
"Mr. Shen, the tie you left last time was in my car. Do you have time? I'll send it back to you." Li Tian took the lead in explaining her purpose.
"How did Chen Yan's tie end up in your car?" Lin Xi asked back.
"Ah, who are you? How did you get through to Mr. Shen's call?" Li Tian heard that it was a woman speaking, and immediately confirmed her guess. It was indeed Lin Xi.
From the moment the first call was hung up, Li Tian guessed that it was Mrs. Shen who hung up, so the conversation just now was so ambiguous.
"Your name is Li Tian, the same Li Tian from last time. You said that Chen Yan's tie was left in your car. Okay, let's make an appointment the day after tomorrow, and you can give me my husband's tie."
"Who are you?" Li Tian asked knowingly.
"Just call me Madam Shen."
"Oh, it's Mrs. Shen. Okay, let's meet at the coffee shop tomorrow, see you there."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Tian hung up the phone.
Lin Xi raised her eyebrows.
Next, while having breakfast with Shen Yan, he mentioned this matter, "The project manager called you, and I answered the phone."
As he said this, he put a piece of toast into his mouth.
Then he observed Chen Yan on the opposite side calmly.
The man remained calm and indifferent, "Li Tian?"
"Yeah. She said you left something in her car, and I promised to get it for you."
"good."
"That's it, aren't you afraid that I'll misunderstand?"
"If you don't do anything wrong, why should you feel guilty?" Chen Yan said.
"I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm just afraid of thieves thinking about it." Lin Xi found it funny.
"I thought too much about you. Eat well and we'll go to the movies together later."
There is a cinema and a starry sky dome in the Summer Resort.
"Yeah, okay."
After watching a love movie, Lin Xichen felt so bored that her heart itched.
They walked back to their residence and couldn't help hugging each other as soon as they entered the door.
An hour later, Shen Yan let go of Lin Xi, and Lin Xi fell exhausted into Shen Yan's arms.
After leaving the summer resort, I could clearly feel that it was warm outside.
Shen Yan went to work early in the morning, and Lin Xi went to see Li Tian.
Having been sick for so long, Lin Xi has a weak aura about him.
The look in his eyes when he looked at people was also a little melancholy.
Li Tian looked even more energetic, and every move she made was neat and dashing.
"Order two lattes. Is Mrs. Shen used to drinking it?"
"No need, just give me back Chen Yan's tie."
Li Tian handed the coffee order directly to the waiter and said, "Two and a half cups of sugar, full of milk."
"Okay, ma'am." The waiter nodded slightly.
Then he responded to Lin Xi with a calm smile, "Mrs. Shen, I didn't hear what you just said."
"Didn't you really hear clearly?" Lin Xi smiled.
"Yeah, no."
"Since your hearing isn't working well, you'd better not cooperate with Shen's. I don't think you're up to the task."
Just one sentence made the calm and composed Li Tian no longer able to pretend to be graceful!
"You!" Li Tian was anxious for a moment, then said with a forced smile: "Mrs. Shen wants a tie?"
"yes."
"Okay." Li Tian didn't keep the secret any longer. She took the tie from her bag and handed it to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi took it, stood up and was about to leave.
Li Tian stood up and stopped him, "Want to have a cup of coffee together?"
"No, I have other things to do. I don't have time to drink coffee with you."
"Mrs. Chen, everyone likes good things and everyone wants to get them, not just you." Li Tian said to Lin Xi with a smile.
"What do you mean? Explain clearly."
"I don't mean it. Please don't misunderstand Mrs. Shen."
"Heh." Lin Xi sneered.
At night, Shen's house.
Lin Xi was sitting in the living room reading a book, also waiting for Chen Yan to come home.
When the hour hand reached ten, the door opened with a click, the sound of the combination lock.
"It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?" Chen Yan asked Lin Xi in a tired voice.
I think he has a hard time, even if he is not working 996, he is still working 007.
He is the last one to leave work in the whole company.
"Waiting for you, Mr. Shen."
Lin Xi put down the book and looked at him.
Instead, he reached for the coffee table and picked up the tie.
"How did you leave your tie in Li Tian's car?"
"I don't know either. I think I got drunk at a drinking party a while ago."
"Don't remember? You're lying to me, right? Shen Yan!"
"Why would I lie to you? What's there to lie to you about?" Chen Yan was exhausted and had no mood to argue with Lin Xi.
Just light a cigarette.
Lin Xi didn't intend to get to the bottom of the matter, so he threw the tie into the trash can in front of Chen Yan.
Shen Yan took a look and said nothing.
*****
In the next few days, Lin Xi could often smell the perfume on Chen Yan.
Lin Xi was very familiar with the smell of this man.
The smell of perfume on him was not her, Lin Xi's.
Lin Xi sprayed a light orchid scent, while this perfume had an orange scent.
As a wife, she would have all sorts of wild thoughts.
So she paid close attention to Chen Yan, until tonight, when Lin Xi took Chen Yan's shirt to wash it for him, she saw a lipstick mark on the collar of the shirt.
At this moment, the suspicion was further confirmed.
Chen Yan was still asleep in bed. He drank a little too much at the social event and fell asleep as soon as he got home.
"Ring, ring, ring~" The phone rang and Lin Xi hurried to answer it.
"Shen Yan, I."
Li Tian on the other end of the phone paused.
Lin Xi didn't say anything either, just wanted to hear what Li Tian would say next.
"Ah Yan, I like you. I know that your marriage with Madam Shen is a business one, and you have never liked her from the beginning to the end. I can make you...feel moved, right?"
"no."
Li Tian: ...
"You are just like every other woman I have ever met. You will always try to provoke me, your first wife."
The person on the other end pretended to be panicked and hung up the phone.
“Boom…boom…”
Lin Xi stood there feeling hopeless.
My already bad mood got even worse.
I have been feeling very depressed during this period.
She has not yet recovered from the pain of losing her son, and is now a little depressed.
However, her husband was still having an affair outside, so she packed her luggage overnight and left the Shen family.
This time, I didn’t go back to my parents’ home.
I went to the house where the property was under my name and wanted to be alone and quiet.
The next day, Chen Yan called, but Lin Xi hung up and turned off her phone.
He pulled the quilt over his head and continued to sleep soundly.
When you fall asleep, you don’t have to face the sadness in real life.
At midnight, the sky and the earth turned into darkness.
Lin Xi picked up the phone and said in a hoarse voice, "Xuedan, can you go out with me?"
Xuedan is a night owl, and coincidentally, she also had a cold war with Chen Jialian tonight.
"good."
So the two of them met at a bar and got drunk.
Xuedan cried, "Chen Jialian has a really bad attitude. Not only does he not accommodate me, he also uses the cold shoulder and violence against me. I don't know how much longer he can hold on..."
"Who knows, I may get divorced before you." After saying that, Lin Xi drank the vodka in one gulp.
"What?! You want a divorce?"
"Yes, I want a divorce." There was a hint of ruthlessness in Lin Xi's melancholy and blurred eyes.
"You were fine before."
"It's my fault. It's my problem." Lin Xi's nose felt sore. The wine mixed with tears tasted bitter.
***
Lin Xi, who had been missing for five days, finally returned home.
In fact, Chen Yan had already found Lin Xi a long time ago, but he just didn't want to disturb her.
She just wanted to be alone and quiet.
Shen Yan hadn't returned home from get off work yet, and Lin Xi was packing her luggage upstairs alone.
Starting tonight, she will take all her things away, including Xiaofu.
I don’t know when Chen Yan came back, and I don’t know when Chen Yan pushed the door open.
The man looked down at Lin Xi with a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes were full of sarcasm, "Are you leaving again?"
"Yes. Not only that, let's get a divorce, Shen Yan. This time, I mean it."
"You've said the word 'divorce' to me a hundred times over the years. Can't you change your words?"
"You take it as a joke, but I'm serious. I've had enough of you. I don't want to live with you anymore. Let's just let each other go for the rest of our lives."
"no."
Lin Xi: ???
"Then file a lawsuit. Can you get a divorce just because you don't want to?"
"It was me who wanted to marry you at the beginning, and now it's you who's getting divorced. How can this be possible, Lin Xi?" Chen Yan pinched the cigarette and blew out a puff of smoke ring.
Lin Xi was choked.
But he became even angrier, “You are so arrogant and unreasonable.”
"You knew it on the first day? You called me and dismissed me at will, Lin Xi, who do you think you are, huh?"
Lin Xi stood there, too angry to speak, while Chen Yan walked away smoking a cigarette.
The man's back looked nonchalant, but he was determined and certain that he would not let Lin Xi leave.
Lin Xi couldn't do anything about it.
Even if they can't divorce for the time being, Lin Xi wants to separate from Shen Yan.
As a result, the next day, Chen Yan called Lin's mother. No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Lin's mother came to speak well of Chen Yan, and every word she said hit the nail on the head.
Lin Xi sat on the sofa, saying nothing, holding Xiao Fu in his arms.
He lowered his eyes and played with Xiaofu's hair. Xiaofu was well-behaved and closed her eyes to prepare for sleep.
"Are you really planning to divorce Shen Yan? You two have been married for so many years, why are you still getting divorced? Is it because you don't have money or love?"
"No children." Lin Xi said.
"There will always be children. As long as there is life, there will be no shortage of firewood." Xiuyun said earnestly.
"No need, Mom. I've made up my mind. This marriage is too tiring. I've already exhausted myself." This was Lin Xi's true words.
"Is that shameless woman provoking me again?"
"It's always been like this, ever since I got married. Su Wan called Chen Yan away from the wedding, and then Qin Ran came. Our marriage has always been lively and crowded."
What was Li Tian? She was just salt in her wounds, the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Three times. My child has been lost three times! I'm really, really tired." As she spoke, Lin Xi choked and cried.
Xiuyun was at a loss for a moment, "My Xixi, what's wrong with you?"
"Mom, please stop trying to persuade me, okay?"
"I. Okay, okay, mom won't persuade you anymore."
What Xiuyun didn't know was that Lin Xi was not only in poor health, but also in a precarious mental state.
"Yeah." Lin Xi tried hard to stop crying.
"Just forget about it. I'm your daughter, and I hate an outsider."
