Chapter 196 When she divorced, she said: I hope we won’t see each other again for the rest of my life
Aunt Wenxin had clearly told her that when Daddy and Mommy were together, she must sit between them, because that way people would think she was a happy child.
Zhou Shuang felt that what Aunt Wenxin said made sense. But for some reason, Daddy seemed to dislike her and was always pestering Mommy.
She wanted to squeeze in between them, but her dad wouldn't let her.
"What do you like to eat? I'll help you pick it up."
Zhou Yanli ignored his daughter and just sat beside Lin Shu, taking care of her.
Lin Shu tasted the dish silently. She didn't look at Zhou Yanli.
He acted so calmly, as if the lawsuit she had filed against him in court today had never happened.
What surprised Lin Shu the most was that he was not there at all, but he actually went home and cooked for her and Zhou Shuang as if nothing had happened.
Now that his daughter was here, Lin Shu couldn't bring up the matter of divorce, lest it affect her physical and mental health.
A child who is only five years old may not be able to understand the meaning of divorce.
Zhou Yanli didn't pick up his chopsticks from beginning to end, he just kept serving the mother and daughter.
He served tea, poured water, and peeled shrimp. Seeing a little soup on the corner of Lin Shu's lips, Zhou Yanli picked up the paper towel on the table and habitually wanted to wipe it for her.
But when he raised his hand halfway, he suddenly seemed to remember something and handed the tissue to Lin Shu.
"Wipe it off."
He pointed at the corner of her mouth.
Lin Shu took the tissue naturally, and after wiping it, he said, "Thank you."
Zhou Yanli's expression paused slightly, his inky black eyes flickered for a moment, and then all the light in his eyes disappeared.
He picked up the red wine glass in front of him, took a sip, and put it down.
"Is there nothing else we can talk about?"
Lin Shu stopped eating, and Zhou Shuang happened to be full at that time.
"Daddy and Mommy, I'm going upstairs to play first. Remember to call me when you blow out the birthday candles later."
Daddy said we can't blow out birthday candles until midnight. Coincidentally, tomorrow is the weekend, so we can play a little later today.
She heard that a new fun game was released, so she hurried upstairs to play it.
As for her parents' misbehavior, Zhou Shuang was completely unaware of it and didn't understand the affairs between adults.
It was not until Zhou Shuang disappeared that the couple officially began today's conversation.
"Why didn't you go to court today?"
Lin Shu didn't understand.
Since Zhou Yanli doesn't want to marry her, Wen Xin is back now, her illness has been cured, and with her abilities, she will be able to support half of the Zhou family in the future.
Lin Shu can now retire after completing her mission. Logically, Zhou Yanli should be very happy that they are getting divorced.
He was the one who urged Xu Fang to give her the divorce agreement. But at the critical moment, Zhou Yanli failed to deliver.
She couldn't understand what Zhou Yanli was trying to do from the beginning to the end. Now she was not in the mood to know his thoughts. She just wanted to end this marriage as soon as possible.
"Why should I go? My wife filed for divorce and I didn't want to divorce, so I didn't go. What you want to do is your business, I can't control it. What I want to do is also my business, you can't force me."
“…”
He continued to put food into her bowl, but Lin Shu had already lost his appetite.
Lin Shu: "Zhou Yanli, let's end it here. This marriage has been a farce from beginning to end. I'm just your tool.
I have helped you make the Zhou family the leader in Haicheng. Now it is time for me to retire."
Zhou Yanli smiled faintly.
"Mrs. Zhou, you sound so easy about retiring after a successful career. That includes you taking 50% of the Zhou family's shares. Also, you sued me during the divorce just to get half of it, right?"
It turned out that Zhou Yanli knew everything.
No wonder, after the lawsuit this morning, when Xu Fang came back, she must have told Zhou Yanli all the evidence she found in court and the benefits she wanted to obtain, all written down clearly in black and white.
Xu Fang has always been Zhou Yanli's lackey. He would do anything at his command, let alone just passing on a message.
Lin Shu followed Zhou Yanli's lead and took a sip from the red wine glass in front of him.
There was also a smile on her lips.
Looking at Zhou Yanli in front of him, Lin Shu's heart was already calm.
Since there is no love anymore, let’s talk about money.
"Taking half of the Zhou family, isn't that what I deserve? Weiting Technology is mine, but you bought it without hesitation and gave it to someone else.
Mr. Zhou, I can't figure it out either. Are you using Wen Xin to transfer your marital assets? Unfortunately, I got there before you. Everything under her name belongs to you and me, and she can't take it away.
Lin Shu didn't need to elaborate on the rest of the story. There was no point in saying more. We could just see each other in court.
"Yes, so I'll give you whatever you want."
Zhou Yanli's words made Lin Shu laugh out of anger.
"You give me whatever I want. No, no, no, you're mistaken. I've been married to you for so many years, and half of everything you have is mine. That's what I deserve. It wasn't given to me by you, Mr. Zhou, and it's certainly not charity."
Lin Shu's stomach ached slightly as she became excited. She endured the discomfort, fearing Zhou Yanli would notice.
If we knew she was pregnant at this time, even filing for divorce would become a problem, because the law does not support divorce for pregnant women.
Lin Shu didn't want to cause any trouble and just wanted to complete the formalities with Zhou Yanli as soon as possible and go their separate ways.
"Whatever you say, I'll give you everything you want."
Lin Shu looked at Zhou Yanli in surprise, thinking that he was delaying going to court in order to find another way out and was ready to fight to the death.
However, what Zhou Yanli said surprised her greatly.
Lin Shu looked at Zhou Yanli for half a minute and was unable to take his eyes off her.
In her opinion, Zhou Yanli is definitely not a good person.
He was cunning, suspicious, and ruthless. Without these traits, ten Lin Shus wouldn't have been able to help Zhou Yanli rise in such a harsh business environment.
She provided Zhou Yanli with resources and advice, and served as his strong backing. However, it was always he who actually fought on the front lines.
A bloody journey, countless sleepless nights and busyness to the point of stomach bleeding, these are all what Zhou Yanli and Lin Shu have experienced together.
Zhou Yanli looked at Lin Shu with cold eyes.
He curled the corners of his lips slightly, showing his sarcasm.
"After all, we've been married for six years, how come you still don't understand me? Do you think I would go to extremes with you? After all, we have a daughter, Shuangshuang, between us.
Lin Shu, even if we are no longer husband and wife, we are still family. Do you really have to go to the point of divorce and make Zhou Shuang lose her complete family?"
At this point, Lin Shu realized that Zhou Yanli wanted to save her, but it was too late. She had long stopped trusting him.
"As long as you stay with Wen Xin, Zhou Shuang will not lose a complete family.
Isn't this part of your plan? Let me give birth to Shuangshuang and bring Wenxin along. After all, she couldn't have children at first.
But Mr. Zhou, I can tell you a good news. An Qianhe said that with Wen Xin's physical condition, she has regained her fertility, so you don't have to worry about you two not being able to have children in the future.
Today, on Shuangshuang's birthday, I would also like to congratulate you on getting rid of me, your unloved wife, and being able to live with your own white moonlight and live a fairy-like life from now on.
I clearly gave you what you wanted, so why are you still not willing to let me go?"
Zhou Yanli's heart ached with every word Lin Shu spoke. As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Yanli's bony fingers tightened.
He didn't expect Lin Shu to think this way.
"Zhou Shuang is not..."
How could he possibly want her to give Shuangshuang to Wenxin? This was completely illogical. He didn't know where Lin Shu had heard such a joke.
Lin Shu interrupted Zhou Yanli impatiently.
"Whether it is or not is no longer important. I don't want to hear your explanation. The reason I am willing to come back here today, besides celebrating Shuangshuang's birthday, is just to inform you.
The court will hold a second hearing. Even if you don't go, our marriage is final."
She tilted her head back and drank the last sip of wine in the glass, then picked up the bag on the table.
"I won't be participating in the cake-eating part later. You can invite anyone you want to come and celebrate Shuangshuang's birthday with her.
Please also tell Shuangshuang that Mommy wishes him a happy birthday. I will not appear in front of you again. If Zhou Shuang needs me, please call me.
Lin Shu was determined to leave, and Zhou Yanli knew that it was useless to try to save the relationship.
He watched Lin Shu's back as she left, just like six years ago, when she was wearing a wedding dress and holding flowers, walking towards him step by step.
The same determination, the same resoluteness, without any regrets.
Zhou Yanli's knuckles turned white, and he felt a tightness in his chest that made him unable to breathe.
Lin Shu took a few steps and suddenly turned around.
"Mr. Zhou, I hope we won't have any more intersections in the rest of our lives."
When they got married, Lin Shuang stood face to face with him in her wedding dress. After the pastor read the marriage vows, Lin Shu looked at him with affection in her eyes.
She said, "Mr. Zhou, please give me your guidance for the rest of my life."
Zhou Yanli's eyes finally moistened when he heard similar words...
