Chapter 375: Chapter 375 Seeking Buddha_1
Some memories, if not revisited for a long time, would be buried at the bottom of the heart, and I would mistakenly think that I had forgotten them.
Until this dream, which unlocked all my memories of him.
Those loving scenes, like the scenes on a movie screen, flashed through my mind, one after another.
Indeed, I’m not a fool!
I’m not only not foolish, but I’m also very smart.
When Gu Yuanzhou pursued me, I could tell he was fully committed.
That love, that affection, was utterly genuine.
It was a mutual devotion between us.
It was a complete fusion of souls.
During those ten years of love and marriage, throughout this journey, he doted on me and cherished me…
When I gave birth to our first daughter, he put aside all his work to stay by my side.
During the cesarean birth of our second child, he stood by me personally, holding my hand and encouraging me over and over again…
Yes, at every critical moment of crisis in my life, he was sure to protect me.
He showed meticulous care for me.
He even remembered my menstrual cycles clearly.
Why should I question him, why should I doubt him?
Is it because I love too deeply, that I can’t stand even a grain of sand in my eye?
At this moment, after all the scenes of affection replayed in my mind, I suddenly grew doubtful.
Is Gu Yuanzhou a figment of my imagination or just a dream?
I can’t find Gu Yuanzhou!
I can’t contact him anymore.
So, did such a person ever exist in this world?
I frantically dialed Gu Yuanzhou’s number, wanting to hear his voice; I have never wanted to hear his voice as much as I do now.
However, the only response I got from the phone was one sentence,
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is no longer in service!”
Yes, that number that once belonged to Gu Yuanzhou has been disconnected…
His voice will never be heard from that end again.
I looked up and saw the cinerary casket on the table.
At this moment, I truly understood.
He’s dead!
He has left me forever!
He’s gone, never to return again.
Then, sorrow and despair overwhelmed me like the icy waters of the deep sea engulfing me, making me unable to breathe, I wanted so much to die.
I hugged myself, squatting in a corner, crying until my heart broke.
I remained alone on the cold floor for a long time.
The front door was slightly ajar, and a silhouette walked in against the moonlight; coming to my senses, I immediately scrambled up, “Gu Yuanzhou!!”
“Ah!”
A long sigh.
Only when he came closer did I recognize him.
It wasn’t Gu Yuanzhou, but Shen Yishu.
He helped me to sit on the sofa.
He touched my forehead with his hand, then went to the bathroom to get a hot towel, “Wipe your face!”
Before I could speak, he said,
“I’m not here to persuade you. I just happened to be passing by and thought I’d check on you. You don’t have to rush me away; I’ll leave on my own in a while.”
“Oh!”
I indeed hadn’t rushed him.
I now lack the strength to push anyone away.
After that, Shen Yishu stopped trying to convince me of anything when he came over; he just silently stayed by my side.
Sometimes he would order me some takeout, bringing me something to eat.
And so, I spent several days in a daze.
Su Peisheng came to find me with Wenya, saying that the divorce agreement had been drawn up and asked me to find some time to sign the agreement with Ding Yinuo.
I didn’t refuse.
After all, it was a matter of sooner or later; it just made me feel a bit guilty towards Ding Mom.
She had high hopes for me, but I was destined to let her down.
Then there was Ding Ruirui; it seemed I would no longer have an excuse to visit her in the future.
Sometimes, the end of a relationship also means giving up the people and things in that circle.
The place Su Peisheng chose for signing the agreement was his law firm,
because it was his turf.
He had prepared a lot of fruit and nodded heads; the atmosphere was very good.
The only thing I wasn’t quite comfortable with was Jiang Jiaying actually coming with Ding Yinuo.
It was quite inappropriate for her to come at this time.
Wenya saw her and her face fell,
“What are you doing here? Annoying, isn’t it?”
Jiang Jiaying smiled and said,
“Dr. Ding is my colleague, my best friend. He didn’t hire a lawyer for his divorce, so, of course, I came to look out for him, lest he be cheated by someone.”
Wenya gave her a cold look,
“You’re watching out? Who do you think you are?”
“Why are you so rude when you speak?”
“I speak to people depending on who they are. I speak human language when I see people, but when I see a ghost like you, I speak ghost language. If you want to hear human language, you should first learn to be a person!”
“You!”
“What about me?”
“You’re a teacher, shouldn’t you speak with some quality?”
“Yes, I am a teacher, so… when I see an immature student, I want to teach her how to be a person.”
“You…”
Seeing the two were about to start arguing again, Su Peisheng hurriedly came over to mediate.
He pulled Wenya aside, “Honey, stop arguing.”
“What, are you protecting that mistress too? Look at her smug face, stretching her mouth all the way back to her ears—I find her really annoying.”
“Yes, yes, you’re right… But, babe, this is my workplace. If you two start fighting, where would I put my face in the future?”
“What, am I, your girlfriend, causing you to lose face? Is work more important to you, or is your girlfriend more important?”
After much coaxing, Wenya finally calmed down, but when Ding Yinuo and I were in the office signing the agreement, she still stood up and guarded the door, not letting Jiang Jiaying enter. Although Jiang Jiaying was angry, she could only stare helplessly and eventually had to walk away with resentment.
Actually, we didn’t need that many people; just Ding Yinuo and me, with Su Peisheng as both the lawyer and the mediator.
He was a friend to both of us and couldn’t favor either side.
“Look at this property agreement… any objections?”
After consulting with me and Ding Yinuo, Su Peisheng listed the property division sheet.
Ding Yinuo glanced at it, “I don’t want anything. I’ll leave empty-handed…”
He was giving up all the property acquired after the marriage.
It seemed he was somewhat concerned about compensating me.
“And Miss Song, do you have any opinions?” Su Peisheng asked me.
I glanced at it, “I just want the entirety of Zhenyi Company. As for the shares that belong to the Ding Family, I don’t want any!”
“Uh… this is difficult for me, you both have joint property acquired after marriage, so are you saying you don’t want it?”
“Then let’s just divide it equally!”
I said indifferently.
Ding Yinuo, however, stood up, “Apart from the Ding Family’s assets, I don’t want anything else…”
After much dispute, I finally signed the divorce agreement with Ding Yinuo.
The method of dividing the property was quite peculiar, basically leaving the property with whoever’s name it was under.
It looked like a division but also seemed like there was none.
But one thing was clear, I had finally gotten a peaceful divorce from him.
It felt as if a mistake had finally been corrected.
When I walked out of the office, Jiang Jiaying boldly extended her hand to me, “Miss Song, I hope we can still be friends in the future…”
I refused the hand she offered, “Sorry, I don’t wish to!”
