Chapter 67 - 67: She Finally Lost Him
Shu Pan wiped away her tears with her hand, and her heart gradually calmed down.
A faint smile appeared on her face, hollow and feeble.
“Tomorrow, I’ll have the lawyer bring the divorce agreement. Sign it as soon as possible,” Gu Shaoting’s tone was impatient.
“What about the property distribution?” Shu Pan bit her lip and said in a rather pragmatic tone.
“What do you think? Do you think you’re entitled to bring that up?” Gu Shaoting suddenly found her like this repulsive.
Shu Pan’s expression remained blank. “Don’t worry, anything that shouldn’t be mine, I won’t take. But what’s rightfully mine, I’ll claim.”
“Your father forced my father to his death back then. Now you have the audacity to ask me for money to help him clear his debts? Do you still have the face to mention property?” Gu Shaoting’s lips curled with irony.
It was as if Shu Pan had been slapped hard across the face. Once again, she was humiliated by her own actions.
There was a hint of unwillingness in her, a desire to test whether she held any place in his heart. But she had overestimated him. Just as he had said, he was only playing with her.
Haha, wisdom came from self-awareness. She was a fool, naive and foolish.
Shu Pan’s expression remained unchanged. She stared blankly for a moment, then spoke slowly, “So I’ve slept with you in vain, haven’t I?”
Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoting continued, “The divorce agreement will be very clear. If you want to threaten me, demanding money to sign it, go ahead. But don’t challenge my bottom line.”
Shu Pan looked at him, feeling somewhat distant. How could he think of her like this? It turned out he didn’t understand her at all. Well, let him think whatever he wanted.
Gu Shaoting stood up, his gaze cold and condescending. Shu Pan was indifferent. The room was chilly, but Shu Pan’s heart was not icy.
There had been so much anticipation, and now there was so much disappointment.
“Baby, don’t pay attention to what your dad and mom were talking about just now. Mom will love you very much in the future.”
Gu Shaoting’s mood felt a bit suppressed. He walked out onto the balcony, took out another cigarette, lit it, and began to smoke slowly.
As the cigarette burned out, Gu Shaoting leaned against the railing, looking at the grayish night for a moment. Then he withdrew his gaze, took out his phone, and called He Ming.
“Brother Ting? It’s so late, what’s up?” He Ming couldn’t believe it because Gu Shaoting hadn’t called him this late for a long time. After he fell ill and was hospitalized, he had almost stopped drinking. He didn’t understand what could be so important to make Gu Shaoting call so late.
“Shu Pan and I are getting a divorce. I’ll have Lawyer Chen bring the divorce agreement for her to sign tomorrow,” Gu Shaoting’s words were like a bombshell, shocking He Ming.
“Why so sudden? Weren’t you saying you didn’t want a divorce before?” He Ming asked in confusion.
“Got tired of it. Spare me the chatter. Remember the things I asked you to take care of.” Gu Shaoting hung up hastily, not wanting He Ming to inquire further. He himself couldn’t even understand what he was feeling.
He Ming looked bewildered, not understanding the situation. Still, he went to handle the things Gu Shaoting had asked him to do.
Shu Pan remained sitting on the sofa. She hadn’t gone anywhere.
The most important part of this home was him, and now she had lost him.
Three years, not long but not short. Yet it had made her love him to the bone.
She hadn’t really slept all night, and her complexion had become even paler. She looked outside and saw the morning light had already illuminated the living room.
Shu Pan slowly got up, freshened up, and thought that once the lawyer was here and this matter was settled, she would submit her resignation letter and leave.
There was nothing worth staying for here anymore, whether it was the marriage or the job, she had failed.
As Shu Pan was about to go into the bedroom to pack her things, Gu Shaoting actually came out. They almost bumped into each other.
“I’m packing up now. Do you need to take a look?” Shu Pan lowered her head, looking at the floor, and murmured.
Gu Shaoting frowned slightly, didn’t say anything, and walked past her.
Shu Pan couldn’t hold back, and her nose began to feel sour again. She realized that she had become overly sentimental since becoming pregnant..
