Chapter 55 Divorce (1)
Chapter 46 Divorce (1)
Whether she likes it or not, Jing Yan will show up at the door of the ward on time at 06:30 every night with a food box, and stay with her until the lights are turned off to go to sleep.But he didn't come yesterday, today...it was already seven o'clock, and the sky outside was completely dark, yet he still didn't come.

Su Xiaomu was holding a fashion magazine in her hand, but her eyes kept lingering on the front page. From time to time, her eyes would unconsciously look towards the door. Every time the second hand jumped, it pressed down in her heart. She was a little depressed. I didn't even dare to find the reason for my absent-mindedness at this time.

Not wanting him to appear, but also wanting to see him, this contradictory thought took root in her heart.

At [-]:[-], someone knocked on the door. She squeezed the pages of the book without saying a word. The person waited for a long time before gently opening the door. It was indeed Jing Yan.He was wearing a black velvet coat with a mouse-gray waistcoat lining it. There was heating in the room. He took off his coat naturally and sat down on the sofa, and put the bag in his hand on the coffee table.

"Have you been waiting for a long time? I have a meeting today, so I am late." He explained lightly.

Su Xiaomu curled her lips to cover up: "I'm not waiting for you."

Jing Yan unhurriedly took out the thermos, raised his eyes and asked her: "Can I eat something today? I only brought millet porridge, which is very thin and easy to eat."

Su Xiaomu calmed down his restless thoughts, shook his head and said coldly: "I don't really want to eat, it's still the same, I have no appetite."

This time, Jing Yan did not insist on letting her eat as much as before, but took out another small jar. Seeing her curious eyes, he said in a low voice: "The aunt at home heard that you can't eat, please help me." Someone brought a jar of secret pickled plums from my hometown, saying that it can stimulate your appetite, do you want to try it?"

"En." Su Xiaomu responded casually, and said vaguely, "Then I'll try it." After all, it was the kindness of the elders.

"Don't get out of bed, I'll just bring it to you." Jing Yan stepped forward, opened the jar and handed it to her, "Come on, eat one first, and forget it if it doesn't suit your appetite."

Su Xiaomu was stunned for a moment, and could only slowly put the plums into her mouth with his slender fingers. The sour and sweet taste filled her lips and teeth. She swallowed unconsciously, and her eyes were so sour that she narrowed her eyes. I got up, and suddenly heard him ask: "Xiaomu, do you still insist on divorcing me?"

This is the first time he has offered to talk to her about this topic.

Su Xiaomu took a bite of plum meat, lowered her eyes and nodded.

Jing Yan looked down at her thoughtfully, his eyes were complex and hard to distinguish, his tall body wrapped her in his shadow, in fact, he really wanted to protect her under his wings all the time like this. No matter how hurt she was, he was the one who hurt her the most.

He smiled helplessly, maybe Ling Ziqi was right, you have to learn to let go in order to cherish everything you have, insistence is like sand in your hands, and it will disappear one day.

He reached out to touch her head, and said unexpectedly: "Stop losing weight, eat well, I promise you, let Lin Ze start the divorce procedures tomorrow."

Su Xiaomu raised her chin in surprise, but she was accidentally stuck in Meizi's throat and couldn't get in or out. She coughed again and again, forcing tears to flow out, but she didn't know whether it was because her throat was choked or because she heard him. The words feel uncomfortable.She wanted to spit out the core, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find a trash can, as if the cleaning lady took it away and forgot to return it.

A tissue was thoughtfully brought to her mouth, and he said gently, "Spit it here."

Then they didn't talk anymore, Jing Yan put away the food, went back to the sofa to read the materials he brought, Su Xiaomu was reading her magazine, the silent room only had the sound of flipping papers.These days, such a way of getting along has become commonplace.

At ten o'clock, Jing Yan felt that Su Xiaomu was sleepy, so Jing Yan got up and said, "Go to bed, I'll come back tomorrow." It was the same sentence, "If you think of something to eat, call and tell me."

The door was already closed, but Su Xiaomu's black and white eyes were still looking in that direction, without sleep all night.

In fact, she was annoyed at her capriciousness and had been forcing him to divorce, but when he finally agreed, why couldn't she be happy at all?She's such a bitch.

Jing Yan really fulfilled his promise, and Lin Ze soon had an appointment with Su Xiaomu about the divorce agreement.

It was a sunny day, the warm winter sun was always lazy, and it was so comfortable that people wanted to sleep.

In the garden of the hospital, Su Xiaomu was wearing a bulky down jacket and sat on a bench listening to Lin Ze read one by one: "Miss Su, according to the pre-nuptial agreement you signed with Mr. Jing, after you divorce, you will get his one-story duplex in the urban area. Apartments and a low-emissions car…”

Su Xiaomu turned around abruptly: "Lawyer Lin? Isn't that agreement invalidated long ago?"

As if expecting her to ask this question, Lin Ze replied methodically: "Because Mr. Jing unilaterally terminated the agreement, the content is invalidated, and your vested interests will not be removed at the same time."

Su Xiaomu turned her face and looked blankly at a few big trees not far away that had only branches left. She remembered that it was here more than half a year ago. She made a big decision to let Xiao Yao recognize Jing Yan as his father. .

She said flatly: "I don't want these." She didn't marry Jing Yan for these things in the first place.

Lin Ze nodded and continued: "As for the division of the husband and wife's joint property after divorce, Mr. Jing has such a proposal. Because you have no intention of doing business, Mr. Jing retains the ownership of the company shares under his name, and the name All the real estate will be transferred to your name, and if you have other ideas, you can also bring them up."

"I don't want it, I don't want it all!" Su Xiaomu didn't know why she was angry, she looked at Lin Ze and said coldly, "Tell him, I just want a simple divorce."

"Mr. Jing said that if you refuse to accept the property, it will be transferred directly to Jing Yao—that is, the name of your son you raised, and he can freely dispose of it when he becomes an adult."

"For Xiaoyao..." Didn't this child become a rich man at such a young age?Su Xiaomu was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What about the custody of the child?"

"This Mr. Jing also explained that he thinks it is appropriate for the child to be with his mother. After all, he is busy with work, so he can take the child over to reunite on weekends, but there is a premise that you agree to such an arrangement first."

Lin Ze recalled how stunned he was when he received the job. He had been a lawyer for so many years, and it was rare for him to see such a one-sided divorce agreement.As for the two parties, he participated in the whole process of their pre-nuptial negotiations, agreed to get married, and now they are divorced in a flash.

Su Xiaomu quickly replied: "I agree." They broke up peacefully, and there was no need to make too much trouble.

That's how things settled.

Since they are going to divorce, they naturally cannot live together.The second-hand, narrow and old small apartment that Su Xiaomu lived in before getting married has already been put up for sale, and if she refuses to accept the property divided by Jing Yan, her savings will not be enough to buy a new house. It's tight, and I can't find any good listings for a while.

After being discharged from the hospital and returning to that home, it was really tormenting to see Jing Yan every day without looking up.Su Xiaomu was worried about this every day, but she didn't expect Ling Ziqi to bring her good news soon.He said enthusiastically on the phone: "Xiao Mu, do you still remember my bald-headed high school classmate? The one who is only 1.6 meters tall, who immigrated to Singapore last year, you met once."

Su Xiaomu replied sleepily: "I remember, what's wrong?"

"His family is rich. He bought a small courtyard house in Prince Gong's Mansion a few years ago. I have visited that place before. It is surrounded by small streets and alleys. It is very quiet. There is a big locust tree in the yard. There are grape vines, anyway, a lot of things have been planted, and the old ones are a bit old, but the advantage is that it is quiet enough and suitable for you to recuperate." Ling Ziqi explained in a calm manner.

Su Xiaomu couldn't get any interest, and said lazily: "There are fewer and fewer courtyard houses now, and they are also valuable, and I can't afford them. Would he be willing to rent them to me?"

"He was like a treasure, and he didn't want to at first, but it's not good to leave the house empty, so one of his cousins ​​has always lived there. But there are many flowers and plants, he said that his cousin doesn't know how to take care of it, and he is afraid that it will be abandoned. I'm worried. I heard from others at the class reunion two days ago. I thought it would be a good idea to let you and Xiaoyao live there with some friendship. It's not too far from Xiaoyao's school. I gave it to him yesterday. After making a phone call, he has already verbally agreed, and he can call his cousin to show you the house tomorrow, what do you think?"

Su Xiaomu's heart was already moved just by hearing it, and she hurriedly agreed: "Okay! I'll go!"

The bald-headed cousin is called Qian Xiaoxiao. Although she has such a name, she is very tall. She is close to 1.7 meters [-] and slender. She has neat short hair and is dressed as an office worker. She looks like a straightforward and easy-going girl, but she is actually so.

As soon as we met, Qian Xiaoxiao took Su Xiaomu's arm and said, "Sister Su, right? Brother Ling told me that you were coming today, so I was looking forward to you." She looked behind her, "Hey , where is your son? Didn't you come with him?"

"He's quarreling with me, he doesn't want to come, don't worry, he's usually very good and won't disturb anyone." Su Xiaomu explained, and after a pause, he said, "Miss Qian..."

Qian Xiaoxiao interrupted her: "Don't call me so born, just call me Xiaoxiao, everyone in my family calls me that. I graduated from the Film Academy, and now I am wandering around in various filming groups. I don't often live in Here, my cousin blames me for not taking care of his precious flowers and plants, but he doesn't care if I have the time."

Her enthusiasm and cheerfulness reminded Su Xiaomu of another girl, Liang Xi, but she hadn't heard from her for a while.

Su Xiaomu smiled at Qian Xiaoxiao: "I can understand you, but I just want to live with the child, will it be inconvenient for you?"

Qian Xiaoxiao waved his hands again and again: "How could it be? I'm so excited. I heard that you cook good dishes. If you don't mind me occasionally coming to eat and help me get rid of those flowers and trees, I'm 120% willing. Come on, don't stand at the door and talk, I'll take you in and have a look."

They crossed the stone steps and walked into the old mahogany gate. There are several traps on the gate, which are said to have historical significance.Su Xiaomu saw the grape trellis, pagoda trees, and many small potted plants that Ling Ziqi mentioned, and he liked this place very much at first sight.
