Chapter 1138 - 1217: I Never Planned to Be With Him
At this moment, Wang Kegui spoke: "Mr. Li, you can go out first."
Mr. Li nodded: "Alright."
She cautiously glanced at Gu Xiufen and quickly exited.
Gu Xiufen was difficult to get along with, everyone around Wang Kegui knew this.
After she left and the door was closed, Gu Xiufen spoke softly: "I’ve come, as you might know, to file for divorce."
Wang Kegui merely nodded slightly: "Please sit."
Saying this, he got up to pour her a glass of water and then sat on the sofa opposite her...
Despite being husband and wife for so many years, they had nothing to say to each other at this moment. Gu Xiufen held onto a last thread of hope and asked in a hoarse voice: "Do we still have a chance?"
Wang Kegui did not respond, instead taking out a cigarette, lighting it and slowly taking a puff.
What more did she need to understand, she softly said: "Alright, get the lawyer to draft an agreement, I’ll sign it."
Wang Kegui smoked half the cigarette, extinguished it, then went to the drawer and brought over a document—it was the draft of the divorce agreement, Gu Xiufen looked at it, feeling utterly lost—
"Take a look, if you have any conditions just let me know." Wang Kegui said lightly.
Gu Xiufen held back, lowered her head to read those clauses, each one was advantageous to her, Wang Kegui was quite conscientious... but none of these were what she wanted; all she wanted was a loving husband.
After she uncontrollably spoke out, Wang Kegui gently said: "Xiufen, you’re too greedy, I’ve done everything I could and I believe I’ve fulfilled my duties to you... but you always want more. Miss Shen has her problems, but her child is also the eldest’s child, and besides Anxi..."
Gu Xiufen didn’t want to listen to him any longer, almost losing her patience, she said: "No need to say anymore, isn’t it just that you don’t love me, isn’t it just because Lin Shuang is back?"
At this moment, she wanted to say Lin Shuang was Anxi’s person, but the words froze on her lips... Eventually, she said nothing, just quietly gazed at her husband, waiting for his final verdict.
Wang Kegui did not directly express his stance, instead he just quietly looked at her.
Gu Xiufen stared at him for a long time, then spoke softly again: "Is there really no chance of reconciliation?"
This time, he made a sound of acknowledgment, marking the end of their marriage... Gu Xiufen didn’t know how she signed her name, nor how she walked out of the company. When she got downstairs, she sat in the car and the driver asked her where to, she said blankly: "I’m going to meet someone."
She took out her phone and dialed a number—it was Lin Shuang’s.
Lin Shuang was a bit surprised, but still patiently listened to her call, finally arranging to meet at a small coffee shop.
There weren’t many people, the perfect setting for two women to chat.
"I’ve divorced Wang Kegui." Gu Xiufen said softly.
Lin Shuang wasn’t surprised, "Really?"
Gu Xiufen lowered her head, looking at the coffee in her hand: "Why, aren’t you happy?"
Lin Shuang chuckled lightly: "What’s there to be happy about, would you think that now you’ve divorced, I’ll marry him?"
"Won’t you?" Gu Xiufen’s voice was a bit urgent.
Lin Shuang lit a slender cigarette, then chuckled softly: "Of course not, after the New Year, I’m going back to Beicheng."
Gu Xiufen was taken aback: "You’re willing to let such an opportunity pass? Don’t you love him anymore?"
"No, I don’t." Lin Shuang’s expression was slightly indifferent: "It’s all old news now, why should I still care? I gave up back then, reminiscing now doesn’t change anything, right? What do you think?"
This greatly surprised Gu Xiufen, she always thought that Wang Kegui had been in such turmoil for their divorce because they had reconciled and would be together, but now Lin Shuang...
Lin Shuang wasn’t surprised, she rested her chin in her hand, looking at her cigarette, and laughed: ’Therefore, your divorce with Wang Kegui isn’t anyone else’s fault, it’s your own marriage that had problems, you knew he didn’t love you but tolerated it, while he didn’t love you but just made do... tell me, what does it have to do with anyone else?’
In her detached manner, Gu Xiufen was still angry, "Miss Lin, you don’t seem to feel any guilt?"
"Why should I feel guilty?" Lin Shuang laughed charmingly: "I don’t seem to have done anything at all."
Gu Xiufen had no response.
At this point, Lin Shuang finally said: "You must be wondering why I won’t be with him, right... Yes, I loved him once and thought we would definitely be together, but once you experience the warmth and coldness of human nature, and realize that when you needed a man most he abandoned you, regardless of the reasons, that man is not worth forgiving, even if I took money from his family."
As she spoke, she slowly exhaled smoke rings: "You must think I’m being contradictory, right? But, that’s how I feel, and I’m now also a manager with an annual salary of millions, why compromise myself."
"That’s not right." Gu Xiufen began: "When you return to Beicheng, it’s not just millions, tens of millions is possible, our Anxi is famous for being generous, as long as she’s pleased."
Lin Shuang didn’t mind being frank: "Little Gu has already mentioned this to you?"
Gu Xiufen gritted her teeth: "You will face consequences for this."
"Will we?" Lin Shuang laughed lightly, completely indifferent.
After finishing, she stood up, "I’m leaving first, my flight’s tomorrow, goodbye forever, Mrs. Gu."
Finishing these words, she placed two hundred yuan under the cup and left.
Gu Xiufen sat there, not moving a single bit, and it was a long time before she finally looked up.
Her eyes were filled with tears—
Actually, Lin Shuang was right; she didn’t do anything, the real problem was between her and Wang Kegui...
