Chapter 25 Divorce Certificate
I raised my hands and sneered at Li Yunzhou and Jiang Yu: "Can you see clearly?"
Jiang Yu still wanted to continue acting, so Li Yunzhou looked at me deeply, then looked sideways at her, and said unhurriedly: "Didn't you order French food? Let's go now."
The car windows were closed, isolating me from them.
I looked at the taillights of the car and was dazed for a moment. Everything in front of me became increasingly blurry. The traffic on the road was endless, and the vehicles that kept honking their horns seemed to be mercilessly mocking me.
I forgot how I got a taxi home.
My parents and Ruan Fei came back from vacation. They were sitting on the sofa in the living room. When I came back, even my father's face looked a little gloomy.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw an unsealed express document and a bright red divorce certificate on the coffee table.
Ruan Fei walked towards me, lowered her voice and pretended to apologize in my ear: "Sister, I'm sorry. I read the wrong name and opened your express delivery by mistake."
I gave her a hard look, and at the same time, I blamed myself for my miscalculation.
I am not ready yet to disclose to my family my divorce from Li Yunzhou.
When I signed the divorce agreement, I had no choice but to leave the Ruan family's delivery address to the lawyer.
I never thought that Ruan Fei would be so despicable as to steal my express delivery.
My father frowned and asked me with a stern face: "Xiao Shi, why don't you discuss such a big matter like divorce with your family?"
"Hmph, has she ever considered us family members?" My mother snorted coldly, looking at me with a somewhat resentful look.
I pursed my lips and tried to explain: "Dad, Mom, it will be a matter of time before Li Yunzhou and I get divorced."
"No matter what, you shouldn't hide it from us!" Father said anxiously, "Your marriage to Li Yunzhou not only involves the two of you, but also the development of the Ruan family!"
I have always known that I was a pawn of the Ruan family, but when I heard these words from the mouth of my father, whom I had respected since childhood, I was still so heartbroken that I couldn't breathe.
Suppressing the bitterness in my heart, I admitted my mistake in a low voice: "I'm sorry..."
"What's the use of being sorry? If I had known you were so unfilial, we shouldn't have adopted you in the first place!" The mother got emotional and got up and called Mrs. Zhang, "Go! Throw her luggage out to me. I don't have such a daughter!"
"
"Yes!" Mrs. Zhang responded and ran upstairs.
My father seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly stopped my mother and asked me softly: "Xiao Shi, how much compensation did the Li family give you?"
I shook my head.
The father was stunned, and the mother's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "What? The Li family didn't give you a penny? You slept with me for three years, and he didn't even give you any hard work?"
Her words hurt me deeply.
Three years ago, in order to save the Ruan family who was on the verge of bankruptcy, I married into the Li family at the cost of Li Yunzhou hating me.
On the eve of the wedding, my mother held me in her arms with tears in her eyes, telling me how sad and reluctant she was for me.
It was so true and sincere that I still can't forget it.
Only now, everything has changed.
My eyes were red, I looked at her and said with trembling breath: "No mother in the world would say that about her daughter."
Ruan Fei, who was watching the show on the sidelines, added fuel to the fire: "Sister, how can you talk to your mother like this? Although you are not your parents' biological child, you have lived a life of fine clothing and fine food since you were a child. What is wrong with your parents?
Already?"
I turned my head, looked at her coldly, and retorted: "So you have had a bad life since you were a child, and you don't want others to be good to you, so you do this uncultured thing to win favor?"
"You!" Ruan Fei was speechless by my rebuke, and her eyes turned red instantly.
She looked at her parents pitifully, turned around and ran back to the room crying.
"Pah!" A slap hit me hard on the face.
My mother scolded me for being unfilial: "You are an uneducated thing, don't call me mom in the future!"
Mrs. Zhang came downstairs carrying my luggage.
The unzipped suitcase was thrown haphazardly at the door, and its contents were scattered all over the floor.
I looked at the ferocious-looking mother in front of me, and the indifferent father sitting on the sofa, and my whole heart was torn into pieces.
My nose felt sore, so I fell to my knees on the ground and kowtowed to them.
"Mom, Dad, thank you for your upbringing." My voice was trembling, and I tried not to let my tears fall.
I am afraid that my relationship with my parents will be completely severed.
In fact, from the beginning, I did not belong to this family. It was me, an orphan, who wanted to gain family affection.
"Do you think you can fly away by kowtowing?" My mother suddenly squeezed my hand.
The burnt wound was no longer protected by gauze, but now that she pinched it hard, it started to bleed.
I endured the pain and asked my mother desperately: "What else do you want from me?"
"We have spent a lot of money and energy raising you so big. Ten million is enough to buy out the mother-daughter relationship between you and me!" My mother said quietly, narrowing her eyes and looking at me, "Huh, I'm just
If you don’t believe it, you and Li Yunzhou divorced and you didn’t get a penny. You are so scheming at such a young age!”
I bit my lip, knowing that no matter how I explained that I had left home, she would never believe me.
"Okay, but I don't have that much money now." I said, and then I took a pen and paper and wrote an IOU for 10 million.
The mother looked at the IOU and wanted to say something, but her father stopped her with a look.
My father adjusted his tone and said to me seriously: "Xiao Shi, don't blame your parents for forcing you. We are also doing it for your own good. Since we are divorced from Li Yunzhou, we should fight for no less compensation. You can go back to the bedroom to rest first.
, we will make long-term plans as a family later."
"No need." I said tiredly, "I will figure out a way for you with the money I promised you."
There is no way I can stay in this home any longer.
I went to the door, picked up the scattered clothes back into the suitcase, and left Ruan's house.
I wonder if God thinks I'm not pitiful enough, but it's raining heavily outside.
I dragged my suitcase and found a cheap business hotel online.
When I arrived by car, I discovered that this hotel was not only remote, but also had a bad attitude at the front desk.
"There are no more standard rooms. Either you have to pay more to get a bigger room, or you can check out." The front desk said in a disdainful tone.
I was dissatisfied and said: "The online booking was successful, but it was temporarily said that there was no room. It is your hotel's responsibility. Why should I pay more to change the room?"
The front desk guy glared at me, cursed me, and looked like he couldn't help it.
I was really tired, and the wounds on my hands seemed to hurt even more.
I didn't argue with her anymore and planned to find another hotel nearby.
I turned on the walking navigation on my phone and carefully walked through a small alley with no street lights.
It was so dark that I didn't see a drunk man lying on the roadside. I accidentally kicked him.
