C1 Sign It
The loud and deafening music, the crazy and addicted dance moves, all the pressure Shan Chenxuan forgot in the dark, but his mother's words rang in his ears again and again.
Shan Chenxuan was upset. He picked up the cocktail in his glass, gulped it down and left. He left behind the female drinking partner who had a resentful expression.
A year ago, he and Su Wenjing had married and bought this villa. Other than the two of them, there were only the servants in the house, making the place very deserted.
He opened the door reeking of alcohol. As he had expected, the thin and weak figure was sitting on the sofa. Upon hearing the door open, he rushed over excitedly.
Shan Chenxuan could clearly see the excitement on her face, but when she spoke, she was hesitating to answer.
"You … "You're back?" Su Wenjing stood in front of him, not knowing what to do. In the past year, although the two of them had been husband and wife, they had never been married. Every day, Lili would wait downstairs for her husband to return, because this was the only chance they had to meet. But most of the time, she wouldn't be able to wait all night for his return.
In the year they were married, there was almost no real time for each other, she didn't know where he worked, she hardly knew his friends, all she could do was wait at home, counting the seconds, waiting for him.
Shan Chenxuan had been waiting for her all this time, but this morning, he threw down a divorce agreement and said, "I hope you've already signed it when I come back." He didn't care about how sad and desperate those words and actions would make her feel. That's right, he had never cared about her feelings before. Not when they were married, but now that they were going to get divorced, naturally, he wouldn't care at all.
"Are you done signing?" Shan Chenxuan looked at the girl in front of him who was at a loss of what to do. Although they had been married for a year, he had never touched her.
Su Wenjing's face was terrifyingly pale. She didn't know what she had done wrong. Although they had agreed to marry each other, she could at least see him every day. For Su Wenjing, this was enough.
"I... I want to know what was wrong with me, and why. "So sudden..." Su Wenjing had known him for five years, had secretly fallen in love with him for four years, and had been married for a year. Su Wenjing had never doubted his decision.
Shan Chenxuan smiled. He looked at Su Wenjing, who was at a loss of what to do, and said, "Just do as I say. You have no right to object."
"I …" Yes, to him, he was useless. He had only married her because he didn't want to marry the woman arranged by his family. There was another woman in his heart, and that woman was his true love. Perhaps that woman's departure had completely sealed off his burning heart.
"Alright, hurry up and sign your name when you bought this villa. Although we don't have a real relationship as husband and wife, you followed me for a year, and that's your compensation. Compared to the 500,000 my mom gave you, that's more than a few times. You should be satisfied now, right?"
After Shan Chenxuan finished speaking, he walked past her towards the study room. For the past year, unless he didn't come back at night, he would definitely sleep in the study room and give the master bedroom to her.
500,000? Su Wenjing finally knew the reason. Two days ago, Shan Chenxuan's mother, his mother-in-law Liu Xuehua, came to the villa to ask him to leave Shan Chenxuan. Before leaving, she threw a cheque of 500,000 yuan.
Su Wenjing originally wanted to hand the cheque over to Shan Chenxuan, but she knew that their relationship wasn't harmonious. It was because he didn't follow Shan's mother's wishes and married the Gu family's daughter.
In order to prevent their conflict from escalating any further, Su Wenjing had only kept the cheque in her drawer. However, she didn't expect Shan's mother to use this reason to divorce her son.
Su Wenjing sat in the corner. She knew that Shan Chenxuan didn't like her, but she would rather die than deprive her of the right to see him everyday.
No …. No, she wanted to explain, she didn't want to leave him.
He took the divorce agreement and knocked on the door of the study.
"Come in!" Shan Chenxuan's lazy voice sounded from inside.
Su Wenjing felt her heartbeat quicken as she nervously pushed open the door of the study room. This was the first time he had allowed her to enter when she was in the study room.
Shan Chenxuan was typing in something quickly in front of the computer. Seeing her walk in with the divorce agreement, he smiled contemptuously. Was it because of his money? A villa can let you show your true colors? Where did you go, you who was so noble before? Vulgar woman.
Her impression of her went straight to the bottom: "Have you finished signing? "Then leave it here. I won't be back here tomorrow." After he finished his brief statement, he continued with his work, not intending to pay any more attention to her.
Initially, he thought that she would be able to replace Ke. Even if she couldn't, she would at least be able to quietly stay at home and not disturb him, allowing him to smoothly escape his mother's marriage. He had thought that she was different from the other women around him. Those women just wanted money. But he really did not expect that this woman had hidden herself deep enough.
"Mr Chenxuan, I …" She wanted to explain, but where was she going to start, to say she didn't want the check? Would he believe it?
"You what?" Shan Chenxuan grabbed the divorce agreement in her hand, but the column that he signed was still blank.
He looked at her coldly, "What are you trying to do?"
"Mr Chenxuan, I …" Su Wenjing had always been weak in front of him, but today, she gained courage from who knows where. She closed her eyes and said, "I didn't want the money from Grandma. "Can you not get divorced …"
She wanted to open her eyes, but she did not dare to. She struggled internally, wondering whether to open her eyes.
He only felt the scent of a man mixed with the scent of alcohol.
"You mean I was wrong about you?"
Su Wenjing heard every word that was said. She didn't think that way. She just wanted to see him every day. What was wrong with that?
"Mr Chenxuan, I … "Ugh …" Su Wenjing had just opened her mouth when it was blocked by a big mouth. It was a very overbearing kiss. This was the first time he kissed her. Su Wenjing was so frightened that her eyes widened as she looked at the man in front of her.
Ridicule, mockery, and contempt were all intertwined in the eyes of this familiar yet foreign man. In his eyes, was he really that unbearable?
Shan Chenxuan carried her. Su Wenjing was scared by his frightening actions. She just wanted to explain why it turned out like this.
She had spent countless nights waiting for him to give her a warm hug. However, when this moment really arrived, Su Wenjing found herself unsure whether she should cry or laugh.
Shan Chenxuan had never known that his wife was so beautiful. The eyes that stared at him with infatuation, so bright, so beautiful, so clear, only Little Ke could have that. Su Wenjing's eyes that were similar to Little Ke's caused him to become confused, causing him to be unable to help but want to treat her gently. Her first time should not be just pain and tears.
After that, Shan Chenxuan laid beside her: "Please sign the agreement quickly, I will keep my promise, this villa is yours now. Besides, "he said, getting up and going to the bathroom, not missing a thing," I'll give you another money as compensation. "
This sentence pierced Su Wenjing's heart like a thorn. If she had held onto a sliver of hope before, it was now full of despair.
Was this really the man he had loved for five years? Why didn't he believe in himself? He didn't seem to believe it at all. Su Wenjing wanted to explain that she wanted to save this man that she loved to the bones, but would he listen? Would she believe him?
The answer is no. The pain in her body and heart made Su Wenjing give up her last struggle and she closed her eyes.
The dream was beautiful. That day, she had graduated from university and this man had proposed to her on the field. He was two years older than she was and had graduated two years ago. He was like a happy couple, and when the girl graduated, the man proposed marriage.
Originally, the woman thought that she had insisted on following behind him for four years. He was moved, so he agreed to her pursuit. But at the same time, he made an agreement.
There wasn't much in the agreement. The main point of the agreement was to stay home after getting married, not to go out to work, and to prepare three meals a day, regardless of whether he came back or not. Also, after marriage, a woman was not allowed to interfere with a man's private life, nor was she hoping that he would fall in love with her.
Su Wenjing did not feel that anything was amiss at the time. She had been in university for four years, and for a whole four years, she looked at him from afar. No matter what he did, she felt that it was natural.
What she didn't know was that when Liu Xuehua found out about this, she told her son that this woman had taken a liking to Shan Family up to 200%. At that time, Shan Chenxuan had confidently said to his mother that Jing wasn't such a person.
He had a feeling that Jing and his Ke were definitely not ordinary people.
Since her son didn't marry the wife she found for him, Liu Xuehua naturally held a grudge against him. Liu Xuehua also arranged the cheque from two days ago. She intentionally dropped it and left, knowing that Su Wenjing wouldn't tell her son about this. Because she was kind and didn't want to see the relationship between mother and son worsen, it was precisely because of this that Liu Xuehua's scheme worked.
Su Wenjing, who was dreaming, knew that Shan Chenxuan was floating among different women every day. Even if he brought his body home at night, he would only be able to sleep. He would never look at her again because he did not want her to be replaced by someone else. Even so, Su Wenjing was still very satisfied. She cooked three meals a day, but the number of times he actually ate could be counted on one hand.
But Su Wenjing still felt happy, because they were always under the same roof, even if it was different houses, it didn't matter. However, just this little bit of hope had been shattered.
Su Wenjing still woke up early in the early morning when the sunlight shone into the room. Every day at this time, she would wake up on time to make breakfast. When he woke up, breakfast would already be on the table.
This was what Su Wenjing thought of his happiness, but today was probably the last time she would be able to make breakfast for him. Her body still felt uncomfortable. She stood up strongly and looked at the sleeping man beside her. This was the first time she observed his sleeping appearance.
He was as handsome as usual. Indeed, from every angle and from every point of view, he looked very charming. He was definitely a hundred times more handsome than a Korean celebrity after the plastic surgery.
Shifting her gaze away, she told herself, This man will no longer belong to you. Perhaps he will never belong to you again.
After signing 'Su Wenjing' on the divorce agreement, she left the study and entered the master bedroom. She put everything Shan Chenxuan bought for her, the bank card, the certificate and the cheque in the bedside drawer.
Putting away his clothes, he found that he had so few things of his own, not even a locked safe was full. Su Wenjing smiled bitterly. So it turned out that this year, she had led such a humble life.
When breakfast was placed on the table, Shan Chenxuan also walked downstairs with the divorce agreement in his hand.
"Chenxuan... Brother! Eat breakfast! I'm leaving in a minute. Let's have breakfast together. There's probably no chance left. "
Shan Chenxuan stared at her in a daze as a trace of doubt flashed across his mind. Was what his mother said true? She was such a simple person, did she really only love his money?
"Alright, I'll send you off after the meal." After saying this, the two of them did not say a word. Perhaps it was more suitable for them to be quiet.
Before he could even finish his last breakfast, the doorbell rang. Liu Xuehua's nightmarish face appeared in front of Su Wenjing.
"Yo, where's breakfast? Isn't it a divorce? Why are they still together? " Only this vicious woman could utter such harsh words.
Su Wenjing didn't want to argue with him. In any case, they wouldn't know each other from now on. "Mom …" It was as if he should not be addressed like this anymore. "Auntie, I will be leaving soon. The divorce agreement is already signed."
Liu Xuehua's eyes caught sight of Su Wenjing's password box. "Such a big box?" I wonder if he had secretly taken away my Shan Family? Open it and let me see. "
"Mom!" Shan Chenxuan left the chopsticks in his hand and wanted to stop his mother's actions, but Liu Xuehua had already walked to the locked safe. She unzipped it and emptied all the items inside onto the floor.
With hot tears in her eyes, Su Wenjing looked at everything with a cold gaze. She really wanted to skin this woman alive.
Looking at all of their clothes on the floor, Shan Chenxuan walked over and pulled his mother over: "Mom, what are you doing? "Jing, pack your things. I'll send you off now."
Su Wenjing didn't say anything else and just stuffed the clothes on the floor into the safe. She could feel Liu Xuehua's vicious eyes staring at her. However, Su Wenjing didn't mind at all. After she was done, she strode out of the room.
From then on, everything here had nothing to do with her. She would no longer have to endure Nanny's trickery and framing, and would never see him again …
