Chapter 177 No need to worry too much
Chapter 177 No need to worry too much
I only noticed something was off about Song Yafei's voice over the phone, but I never imagined it was a real problem.
Moreover, it's not hard to tell from Aunt Lin's tone that the matter is somewhat tricky.
"what happened?"
Aunt Lin sighed.
"Madam hasn't left the house for the past two days. She's just stayed in her room, not eating or speaking. I've never seen her like this before. She looks so haggard."
My heart skipped a beat; things had turned out completely unexpectedly.
Seeing my worried look, Aunt Lin couldn't help but comfort me, "Don't worry too much, it's probably just that something big has happened at the company. Why don't you go up and take a look?"
"Mm." I nodded.
Aunt Lin took Liu Liu out for a walk.
I took a deep breath before stepping back into the villa and going up to the second floor.
I glanced into the study but didn't see anyone.
Just then, Song Yafei opened the door to the master bedroom. "Let's talk over here."
After saying that, she turned around and went back to the master bedroom.
When I saw her, I was stunned for a moment; I had never seen her like this before.
Her usually meticulously styled hair was now loose and disheveled, looking as if it had never been combed.
She was wearing only purple loungewear, which didn't look like she'd only worn it for a day; the wrinkles on it were quite deep.
Is this still the same meticulous and sophisticated Song Yafei?
She's more like the old Song Yafei now—more casual, less particular, and more focused on comfort.
Lost in thought for a moment, I didn't even notice when I entered the master bedroom. Once inside, some unpleasant memories immediately flooded my mind.
Many unacceptable things happened in this room, and instantly, a feeling of suffocation overwhelmed me.
He managed to stay inside by grabbing the door frame.
My gaze fell on the documents on the coffee table, with the words "Divorce Agreement" prominently displayed!
My wish is within reach; I don't need to mentally prepare myself before I walk towards it.
It was only then that I noticed the dark circles under her eyes, the lack of makeup on her face, and the loss of her usual radiance.
Just as Aunt Lin said, she looks much more haggard!
But I can't worry about all that right now; all I want is to get that agreement.
The document is quite thick, much thicker than I prepared.
But I don't care about any of that, I just want the divorce papers.
I reached out to take the agreement and sign it, but Song Yafei stopped me.
Along with it, my heart was also pressed down. Had she changed her mind again?
My heart tightened, and I looked at Song Yafei with wariness in my eyes.
Song Yafei smiled faintly, her attitude calm, unlike her usual assertive demeanor. "The divorce agreement won't just disappear. Sit down and let's talk."
It's already difficult enough to get her to agree to a divorce, and I don't want anything to go wrong at the last minute.
Even though I couldn't stand being here for a second longer, I still found a sofa and sat down.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat somber. I kept looking away from her.
After what seemed like an eternity, Song Yafei finally spoke, "I want to know, why are you so determined to get a divorce this time?"
"Is it because of Yu Chengliang, or because of your career?"
At this point, her gaze fell on my right hand, which was in a cast, and her face was filled with sorrow.
It's rare for her to talk to me about these things so calmly; perhaps this will be the last time.
Surprisingly, I didn't refuse to answer her.
I stopped and thought about it carefully. I realized I had actually asked myself this question before.
Perhaps only at this moment can I objectively draw a conclusion.
I shook my head. "It's about trust, and your attitude."
"Your distrust and your attitude are exhausting me and constantly eroding my feelings for you."
"The people who appear around you, whether it's Yu Chengliang or anyone else, whether they dare to ride roughshod over me depends entirely on your attitude."
"There's not much they can do. What really hurts me is you, time and time again, until now, you've long since erased the trace from my heart."
After saying all this, my eyes were already red, and my voice was choked with emotion.
I wonder who it was for?
Is it for that lost relationship, or for Zhang Tian, who once gave everything?
It remains to be seen.
But it seems like I've been waiting for her to ask me this question, so that I can vent my unhappiness like I am now.
The long-hidden pain!
Although it was only a few words, seeing her reddened eyes actually made me feel much better.
Thankfully, this relationship wasn't just me jumping around in circles!
Song Yafei finally couldn't hold on any longer and turned around, facing away from the door and directly at the floor-to-ceiling window.
I sat next to her and could see her silently shedding tears from the side.
I clenched my fists and forced myself to ignore her vulnerability.
Having come this far, I don't want my perseverance to fizzle out halfway.
I just waited quietly for her to turn around.
I don't know how much time passed before she finally turned around, her face showing only faint tear stains, which I ignored.
I took a deep breath. "Now can we talk about the divorce?"
Song Yafei nodded, "Yes, Zhang Tian, I'm willing to let you leave if that's what you want."
"Of course, if you can agree, that would be great! I also hope that we can part ways amicably."
This is my honest opinion. Even though things have come to this point, I still hope that we can part ways amicably!
I never thought of arguing with her about the distribution of property, like petty citizens arguing in the street.
Song Yafei didn't say anything more and pushed the documents in front of me.
“I know you’ve never cared about money, but your illness requires it.”
"Although I can't split it equally, I can guarantee you a comfortable life from now on."
I never expected to get anything from her, but she was right; both my illness and the orphanage needed money.
Song Yafei continued to tell me about her arrangements.
"Ten properties under my name, 20% of the hard currency has been transferred to your name, and there are also eight luxury cars."
“I will continue to pay you 80 million in alimony every month until you remarry.”
Alimony?
Eighty million?
This is a small amount for Song Yafei, but for an ordinary person like me, it's an astronomical figure.
I felt somewhat unworthy of the offer, but when I thought of the children in the orphanage, I accepted it anyway.
Song Yafei added, "However, I'm going to take back the shares you hold. I hope you can understand."
I understand that these shares are of little use to me.
Moreover, I never intended to threaten her with these shares. She wanted to fulfill her long-held dream, and I didn't want to be an obstacle.
"Of course, but I hope this time we can sever all ties completely, so I hope the alimony can be settled in one lump sum."
Perhaps I was too heartless. Song Yafei paused for a moment, but ultimately agreed.
