Chapter 7 Leave
1063 Words
I had a dream. In the house of Shi family, my parents and Gu Tingchen were discussing the birthday party for my 23rd birthday.
I stood by the couch, and heard Gu Tingchen's warm voice: "Sheng er (note: In Chinese, adding er to the last word of someone’s first name is a way of showing intimacy) likes red color. Let's decorate the party with red roses. I'll play the piano myself by then."
Gu Tingchen looked gentle, and the sunlight on him appeared to make him more handsome and warm. I wanted to touch his eyebrow bone, but my fingers directly went through him and hang in the air. I called his name in panic, but he never responded to me. I cried heart-wrenchingly, but only saw a vast expanse of white a while later.
I suddenly opened my eyes and saw myself lying in the ward, wearing the same bright dress I had been wearing before the blackout. Beside the bed, there was Gu Tingchen standing with a cold face.
It seemed that after seeing a warm version of Gu Tingchen, I could no longer bear to see a cold version of him. I closed my eyes and asked lightly, "what happened just now?"
Gu Tingchen, with his eyes down, didn’t answer me. Chairman Gu suddenly pushed open the door and came in. He glanced coldly at Gu Tingchen and said in dissatisfaction with his son, "you fell just now, and there was blood all over your face. I was startled. If it had not been for that woman, how would she come to the hospital and have such an accident? Sheng er, you have indulged Tingchen too much in usual life. He is your husband, and you should constrain him!"
Husband¡¡
I remembered getting divorced just a moment before.
I looked up at Gu Tingchen, who still remained cold faced and seemed not to care about what his father had said at all. I said with a smile, "dad, we have gotten divorced."
As they heard this, Gu Tingchen’s pupils shrank sharply, and chairman Gu was also stunned. Perhaps because I had told him about my idea of divorce, chairman Gu came back to himself quickly: "you just said this during the day. Why did you make it so fast?"
I compressed my lips and asked: "fast? Gu Tingchen has wanted to divorce me since three years ago. It is good to none of us to divorce late. By the way, I am not very good at doing business. Sooner or later, my family business will break down if I continue to be in charge. I will give it to you. Even if you make it affiliated to your family, I have no problem with it at all."
Chairman Gu sighed, "you are giving it utterly for free."
I got up and left the hospital bearing the pain in my abdomen. Gu Tingchen followed me aside. As I was just about to drive away, he parked his black Maybach in front of me.
I ask: "What are you doing?"
"Get in the car. I’ll drive you home."
Gu Tingchen had never asked me to take a ride with him. Now that we had been divorced, there was even no need to get in. So, I lightly reminded him, "No need, my car is here too. I can't leave it here. Gu Tingchen, merry meet, merry part. Just treat me as a stranger as you have done in the past."
His car roared past me, and I didn’t drive back to the villa until he was completely away. Almost instinctively, I went to the bathroom for a hot bath, and the hot water in the bathtub was dyed red in less than ten minutes.
With a uterine cancer, s****l bleeding and vaginal bleeding are normal.
The uterine cancer was given to me by Gu Tingchen. He had killed my child brutally, and had had fierce s*x with me frequently before I recovered from that curettage. I did not reject him.
So essentially, I was totally to blame for making my body become like this.
There was no one that I could complain to.
Tired, I closed my eyes and slept in the bathtub. As I woke up, it had been in the early morning. The cold water was freezing. I got up and drained the water with blood. Then I put on my bathrobe and called my assistant, who came to take the divorce agreement and sent me a divorce certificate in the evening.
I was lost staring at the certificate. Then I asked, "did you give him the other one?"
The assistant replied, "Yes, I handed it over to Mr. Gu in person."
"Oh, then let him deal with everything in the company from now on. Get someone to clean up this villa and give it back to him three months later." I thought about it, and lightly ordered my assistant, "transfer me 5 million from the finance department of Shi family, and then I shall have nothing to do with my family."
The assistant was surprised, "president Shi, what are you¡¡"
"Just go and do it. Don't ask."
After the assistant left, 5 million was immediately transferred to my card. I stood up, went back to my room, packed up some clothes and makeups. Then, I drove back to the villa of Shi family.
The villa that had appeared in my dream the night before.
I stood in the living room for a long time recalling the dream. Everything in the dream seemed real: he gently said that I like red roses, and that he would play piano music for me himself.
Why was he so charming in the dream?
I closed my eyes and lay upstairs in the bed. Not being able to stand the pain in the abdomen, I called lawyer Chen to help me get some medicine that could paralyze the nerve.
After lying in a muddle-headedly on the bed for some eight days when loneliness almost covered me, I finally got up and took the card with five million to the street.
Since no one loved me, I'll find a lover myself.
It didn't matter even if he lied to me.
I just wanted to buy someone to love me with the 5 million, for just three months.
