“Good girl!” He lifted my chin with a subtle sneer.
However, when I thought that he would urge me to complete the wedding process, he suddenly let go of me and stared at me indifferently.
My hair stood on end under his gaze, but I still pretended to be calm while asking him what he was doing.
“You have one day to divorce your husband.” When he spat out the word “husband”, he grinned maliciously.
In spite of my sadness, I had to do as per his request.
Seeing him leaving, I brushed my hair briefly, trying to make myself look fresh. When I was about to step out of the room, I was seized by a whim.
There were only several hospitals in the city, so one day was enough for me to find my brother and take him away!
When I was in a trance, my cell phone beeped with a short message from Quan Shaoze. “Stop your meaningless struggle. you’re embarrassing yourself!”
How could he figure out what I was thinking so soon?
My heart skipped a beat. After a good while, I calmed myself down and hailed a taxi heading for the Zhao family.
When I just walked into the hall, I happened to see Wang Yanfen coming downstairs. Her face fell the moment she saw me.
“Why are you here again?” She shot me an angry glare with a wary look.
By now, her words or deeds didn’t matter to me anymore, although my heart still habitually sank.
“Nothing!” I said perfunctorily and was about to go upstairs, but she immediately grabbed me by the arm.
She held on to me desperately, trying to stop me from going upstairs. From the way she kept glancing at the bedroom where Zhao Dong and I used to live, I could tell that Zhao Dong had come back.
In that case, I would definitely go upstairs. Wang Yanfen went all out to stop me and even lay on the ground shamelessly in my way when I was about to rush up.
I was even more disappointed to see her, who always looked like a noble lady suddenly turned to a shrew. I had a feeling that the five years I had been with Zhao Dong was not worthwhile at all.
But this also made me feel much relieved at the thought that I was going to divorce Zhao Dong.
I admitted that I was weak and incapable as I had no guts to face her or Zhao Dong, who had betrayed me, in the future if we still lived under the same roof.
I had been a little hesitant, but now, Wang Yanfen’s indifference and inhumanity strengthened my determination to divorce.
When I was going to force my way, Zhao Dong, who had heard the noise walked out of the room and came to the stairs. He looked at me indifferently and then whispered in Wang Yanfen’s ear before taking me to the room.
It had been quite a few days since I saw him last time. Obviously, he had been enjoying himself recently as he looked wonderful. But I didn’t feel surprised about this.
After all, nothing would distress him.
“I have something to tell you. Promise me to stay calm before I say it.” After a while, he broke the silence first and said seriously with a frown.
There was a flicker of anxiety in his eyes for the possibility that I might stir up trouble.
Looking at the man I used to love, I felt sharp pain in my heart, like it had been ripped apart.
“Sure!” After quite a while, I put on a smile, as if nothing special had happened.
He took a long sigh of relief at my words and immediately took out the Divorce Settlement he had drafted.
I was appalled and stared at him for quite a while, as if I had only met him for the first time.
Just then, with a gentle breeze passing, the last trace of my affection for him seemed to have been blown away.
I felt that my pent-up mood suddenly brightened.
That wasn’t a bad thing for me.
At the thought of this, I picked up the agreement on the table with a smile coming from the depth of my heart and responded, “Okay!”
