Chapter 222 Official Divorce
Chapter 222 Official Divorce
Getting the divorce certificate was harder than expected, but also easier than expected. Xu Fanghua held her notebook tightly in her hand for a long time. She had been looking forward to it for so long, but she didn't feel relieved at all.
Lu Wenli had put on his hat and mask again, put the divorce certificate into his shirt pocket, and walked downstairs without saying a word.
When he got downstairs, he saw two black seven-seater SUVs parked on the side of the road and Li Zhen's people nearby. He stopped and stood for a moment, then turned around and walked to Xu Fanghua.
Xu Fanghua held her breath slightly, but looked straight into his eyes without fear.
Lu Wenli looked at her like this for a moment, then looked at Lu Xingchen beside her and said, "Can I talk to your mother for a while?"
Li Zhen, who was standing by, frowned slightly when he heard this.
Lu Xingchen and Lu Wenli looked at each other for a moment and replied, "Okay, but I have to be by your side."
Lu Wenli hesitated for a moment and said, "It's good for you to be here."
Lu Xingchen turned to look at Li Zhen at this time, and Li Zhen nodded at her, "Let's find a suitable place to talk."
A coffee shop that is neither far nor close to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Lu Xingchen, Xu Fanghua, and Lu Wenli sat near the floor-to-ceiling window, while Li Zhen, Wang Chao, and Wu Shuang sat not far from them but convenient for them to talk. There were also several bodyguards standing outside.
Lu Xingchen and Xu Fanghua didn't know that after Lu Wenli got on the bus, Li Zhen had someone search his body to prevent him from bringing any weapons or dangerous items that would endanger them. Lu Wenli just laughed at himself and let them search him without any resistance.
At this moment, the mother and daughter were sitting on one side of the seat, and Lu Wenli was sitting opposite them. There was a cup of coffee in front of each of them, but no one was in the mood to drink it.
Lu Xingchen spoke first: "If you have something to say, just say it."
Lu Wenli was still wearing a hat, but he had taken off his mask. After hearing this, he lowered his eyes and glanced at the cup of coffee in front of him. He was silent for a long time, then he reached out to take the coffee and took a big sip, then frowned and put the cup back, smacking his lips a few times, not sure if it was because he was burned or because he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
"I... did think about giving you and your daughter a good life at the beginning, but unfortunately... heh."
Originally it seemed like he had a lot to say, but after saying this he was suddenly speechless, because no matter how much he explained, it could not make up for the troubles he had caused over the years, nor could it erase the troubles he had caused them in the past few days.
"Ahua..."
He suddenly called her like that, and Xu Fanghua couldn't help but straighten her back, because this was how he called her when they were little, young and in love, but he never called her that again after that.
Lu Wenli looked up at her and said, "In fact, the first two years of my marriage with you were the happiest time of my life, but I didn't cherish it. If I hadn't been a gambler and hadn't been too proud of myself and too ambitious, you would have continued to live with me like that."
Xu Fanghua suddenly remembered that in the first two years, Lu Wenli did show a talent for investment for a period of time and even focused on his career, but she thought that even so, the Lu family would come knocking on her door sooner or later.
As for your feelings for him?
"Don't talk about what ifs. I only know that if you hadn't ruined my life that night, I probably wouldn't have lived in fear for more than twenty years."
"Ahua, I really hated Lu Dingsheng for taking you away at that time."
"Didn't you know whether he snatched it away or you let it go?"
"But I really feel that even if I don't let go, you will eventually choose to be with him because I have no money."
"Lu Wenli." Xu Fanghua had nothing to say and her face was expressionless. "If you came to me to talk about this, then there is no need. We are not twenty years old anymore. If you insist on asking me about my feelings for you, then I can only say that since you are in such a miserable situation, I can forgive you."
Lu Wenli looked at her, with a bit of pain and guilt on his face. Then he picked up the coffee on the table again without saying a word, took a sip, and then another sip.
"Yes, it's actually all my fault. I only wanted to get rich. I thought that if one day I was richer than Lu Dingsheng, I would have all kinds of women. So I agreed to break up with you in exchange for his business and connections. But even so, I still couldn't get anything done..."
He said dejectedly and loudly, "I am just a pile of useless mud, but I am determined to stand out and prove myself. I just want to be richer than Lu Dingsheng, so that the wife and children who belong to me can belong to me as a matter of course!"
He spoke loudly, and Li Zhen stood up and scolded him coldly, "Lu Wenli, don't act crazy here if you haven't drunk alcohol."
Lu Wenli glanced at him, laughed coldly, raised his hand and wiped his face vigorously, turned to look at Lu Xingchen, and saw that Lu Xingchen was just looking at him with a slightly frown. He finally twitched and pulled a smile twice on his face, and finally said: "I am sorry for you."
Lu Xingchen took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, and said calmly, "Apart from all the right and wrong, if it weren't for you, I really wouldn't appear in this world. Just as you said, no matter how much I don't want to admit it, I still have your blood in my veins."
Lu Wenli forced an apologetic and bitter smile.
Lu Xingchen added, "So you don't have to act like you're making arrangements for your afterlife."
Xu Fanghua was shocked when she heard this. She looked at Lu Xingchen and then at Lu Wenli. Did he really not want to live anymore? So he felt guilty and took the initiative to divorce her, and even said these words of repentance? !
"Lu Wenli..."
"The scourge has lasted for thousands of years, but I'm not that pessimistic." In fact, he really felt that there was no point in living. After going around in circles, not only had he accomplished nothing, he didn't even have a home. He would never be able to turn things around in his life. He reached for the coffee and took another sip, but this coffee was far inferior to wine.
Xu Fanghua was also a little panicked and looked at Lu Xingchen.
Lu Xingchen still had no expression on his face, but he held her hand under the table and continued to say to Lu Wenli: "As long as you stop gambling and live a peaceful life, I will pay you enough living expenses, including..."
Before she could say this, her throat inexplicably tightened. This was a physical resistance, but she swallowed and swallowed the discomfort, and continued, "Including taking care of you in your old age and seeing you to the end of your life."
Lu Wenli looked at her in surprise.
Lu Xingchen didn't want to see his face at the moment, nor did she want to see any expression on his face, so she lowered her eyes and looked at the coffee for a moment, but she didn't want to avoid the question, so she raised her eyes again, with a normal look and voice, and said:
"I did this because I didn't want my mom and I to feel any guilt. But if you really died, maybe that guilt would turn into what we deserve. Because you did something that was not right for my mom, so if you want to atone for your sins, you have to at least stay alive and prove that you have really repented and will not harm her again. Otherwise, there will be a day when you will want to die."
Seeing that what she said was reasonable but also heartless, Lu Wenli couldn't help but laugh, and then he sighed deeply, "I admit that if you grew up here with me, you would definitely not be so outstanding... Don't worry, I won't die."
Hearing him say this, Lu Xingchen glanced at Xu Fanghua and said to him, "In that case, let's wait and see. We'll leave first."
Just as she was about to help Xu Fanghua stand up, Lu Wenli said, "Wait a moment."
Lu Xingchen and Xu Fanghua looked at him at the same time.
Lu Wenli said: "The driver who hit me that day...I know him."
