Chapter 234: So be it
The days were so plain and uneventful, and it was autumn without ups and downs. Everything is working well in the company, and there is basically nothing for me to worry about.
However, I always felt that something was missing in my life.
Perhaps, this is what the old people often say, my mentality is nothing to do.
When I thought of this, I had to smile and suppress the unrestless thoughts in my heart. Work, Home, School...... My life is three points and one line.
I was playing a card game against the computer, and was about to stand up to get a glass of water when I saw a new call coming in from my phone. At first glance, it was He Xiao's.
In the past month or two, he and Qiao Jian have been tugging at the custody of the child, and they are as busy as a spinning top, so they will never look for me if they have nothing to do.
Qiao Ji'an is still sure on his side, she knows a person named Qing Shaofeng and has been helping him. Although Qing Shaofeng is not well-known, it is not easy to be able to deal with He Xiao for so long without being defeated.
"Mr. He, what's the matter?" I asked, "The company seems to have been quite stable recently." ”
"Tao Ran, are you a dead man, you don't even know that such a big thing happened?" he asked.
I was stunned for a moment, realized that what he said might be about child custody, and immediately explained: "You and Qiao Jian are both my friends, so I really can't help anyone with you two snatching the child." Giorgio scolded me once. Now, I'm being scolded by you again. ”
I coughed twice and said, "Forget it, you can dissipate your anger after scolding, so scold." ”
"It's not our business. I won't blame you for what happened to Ji'an. We are adults and can solve this problem on our own. He Xiao said.
I was a little surprised: "What do you mean?"
"Wait for me in the office, I'll be there in twenty minutes. After He Xiao finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a snap.
I was puzzled and waited for He Xiao, and as soon as he entered the door, he glared at me with knife-like eyes.
"What's wrong? you're going to eat people?" I asked.
Duan Jingchen didn't speak, sat down in front of me, took out his mobile phone and called Duan Jingchen: "Old Duan, are you convenient now? Come to Tao Ran's office, I have something to talk to you about, but I have to be in front of Tao Ran." ”
He used hands-free, and I could hear Duan Jingchen's voice.
"What's the matter?" Duan Jingchen said very calmly.
"You'll know when you come, the three of us haven't been together for a long time, haven't we? He Xiao said again.
After he hung up the phone, I poured him a glass of water and asked, "What's the matter, let's talk about it directly, why are you still so mysterious, you have to let Duan Jingchen listen?"
"It's nothing, I just want to talk to you and him. After He Xiao finished speaking, he leaned back on the chair and put his feet on my table.
I looked at his hanging appearance, and couldn't help but ask: "Do you give the custody of the child to Qiao Ji'an?" She is a mother, and she will definitely be good to the child. Besides, you're a daughter, and it's not convenient for you to take care of it, right?"
"What about you to be a lobbyist for her?" He Xiao glanced at me, took out his mobile phone and opened the game.
The next thing, no matter what I said, he pretended not to hear it, and ended up plugging in his headphones. Regarding the child and Jogian, no matter how much I asked, he didn't say a word.
When Duan Jingchen came in, he was wearing a suit and tie, and he looked like he had just come down from the negotiation table.
He loosened his tie and asked, "What's the matter with calling me to yell?"
He Xiao looked at him and sneered twice: "Tao Ran is a dead person, I am not a dead person." May I ask, what's going on with Liu Wan?"
I was taken aback by his words.
Liu Wan?
It's the first time I've heard of this name.
Duan Jingchen glanced at him: "Where did you hear about it?"
"I've heard that others have learned from my company. He Xiao stood up, took out a photo from his pants pocket and threw it to Duan Jingchen, "You said that you have been chasing Tao Ran for more than ten years, and the only woman you have been interested in in this life is her." Now, I'm married, I've got it, and I don't cherish it, right?"
I glanced at the picture on the table, and my head was big.
The photo is a photo of Duan Jingchen and another woman, which should have been taken candidly, and the pixel is not high. However, it allows people to see what they are doing, kissing.
I was a little panicked, even though we didn't have any real relationship in this marriage, but in the eyes of everyone, I was his wife.
What's wrong with me? Every man I meet?
This photo is even larger than the group photo of Si Jianlian and Sheng Qingjin.
I was like someone smashed a stone on the head, the whole person was confused, and the pain in my heart slowly came out, hurting to the bones.
I looked at Duan Jingchen, and my heart felt like a sharp knife.
Am I really a boring woman who will find boring as long as others know me well enough to know me?
"Duan Jingchen, you should give an explanation!" He Xiao yelled at him.
Duan Jingchen kept looking at me, his face gloomy. After a long time, he sighed and sat down in front of us, pointed to the picture and said, "Since you have seen it, I don't want to explain anything." ”
"Who is Liu Wan?" I asked.
Duan Jingchen didn't look at me, looked out the window and said lightly: "It's me who is part of my subordinate, and then I was discharged from the army, and she was discharged not long after." Later, I had one less assistant here, and I thought she was good and knew the roots, so I asked her to come to work. ”
"And then, are you in love with her?" I looked at Duan Jingchen and smiled, "Is it that she calculates you?" you have been socializing so much recently, you must have been drinking a lot, if you accidentally misunderstand, I can ...... it."
"Tao Ran, I know that you are reluctant to marry me. Duan Jingchen interrupted me and said, "It's been three months since we got married, and we haven't lived as a husband and wife. You don't want to be with me either, and there are people around me who like me, so let's leave it at that. No more torturing each other under one roof. ”
He Xiao was originally in an abnormal atmosphere, but when he finished listening to Duan Jingchen's words, he looked at me with eyes like a monster.
"Is what he said true?" He Xiao asked after a few seconds.
"Yes. I sighed and answered, tears about to flow.
I looked up at the ceiling, letting the tears flow back, and then looked at Duan Jingchen again: "Okay, then it's as you wish." ”
He Xiao looked at me, and then at Duan Jingchen, looking so angry that he didn't know what to do, and he struggled for a long time before saying, "You guys...... You guys, you treat marriage as child's play. ”
Duan Jingchen glanced at him: "Regarding marriage, you may not be much better than me." ”
He Xiao was choked up and speechless.
I was suddenly in a bit of a trance, and I didn't know where I was. Nowadays, people are financially free and spiritually free, but they seem to be less and less interested in marriage......
In the first wedding, I thought I was married to love, and in the end, Si Jianlian cheated on my legs, and in the second marriage, I thought I was married to tolerance, and in the end, Duan Jingchen also cheated on my legs.
Moreover, they are all so reasonable.
I glanced at my watch and said to Duan Jingchen: "I'll go back to get the marriage certificate, and I'll see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau in two hours." ”
Something was churning in Duan Jingchen's eyes, he looked at me for several minutes, and finally said in a deep voice, "Okay." ”
Our marriage certificate was kept by me alone, and Duan Jingchen said to me at that time: "Put it all in your place, anyway, I don't think I will need it in this life." ”
Now, only three months have passed, and my relationship with him has come to an end?
Also, how much can a man tolerate in a sexless marriage? His patience has long been used up in me.
I walked out of the office under the gaze of Duan Jingchen and He, and tears came down as soon as I entered the elevator.
I wasn't sad, but I felt like I was an inexplicable failure.
It usually takes an hour to drive from the company to home, but today I was surprised that there was no traffic jam, and I arrived in 40 minutes. I walked downstairs, looked at the house, and smiled bitterly in my heart: "Probably God is willing to see me and Duan Jingchen divorce, that's why the road is so smooth." ”
I didn't make any delays, I went upstairs to get the marriage certificate, and then packed all my personal belongings and carried them directly to the car, and then I roughly sorted out the bean bags.
As I walked out of the door of this house, I thought for a moment that I didn't owe anything to this house.
At the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Duan Jingchen was waiting for me.
He saw me coming over, nodded at me and said, "I'm here." ”
I hung my head and smiled, "Let's go, let's go in." ”
He stood there and hesitated for a moment, then followed me into the Civil Affairs Bureau.
This is the second time I have come to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce certificate, so I have experience. This kind of thing is really one time and two times cooked. I had basically heard all the questions asked by the staff, so after ten minutes, we managed to get the divorce certificate.
Standing at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, I suddenly thought of the vows I made at the wedding. Now that I think about it, those words are really ridiculous. Perhaps, when he made a promise to me, he was just like me, just perfunctory in his mouth.
I don't blame Duan Jingchen for this, I blame myself. No man would want to marry a cold woman. On the day I got married, I almost put a colored hat on him. After getting married, Gu Yixiao appeared a few times in reality, but he appeared more in my mind.
Duan Jingchen was also aware of these.
There was a sound of footsteps behind me, and I looked back to see Duan Jingchen following. He stood beside me, was silent for a while, and said, "The house belongs to you, and I'll just go back to the apartment alone." Moreover, your father bought a house in that neighborhood in order to be closer to you. You can live there. ”
"No, I have my own house. I said.
His words make me have to think of Luo Xiaotian and Doubao, now the marriage is neatly divorced, but how can I tell the two of them?
"You have to, even if it's my compensation for you. Duan Jingchen said.
"No, I don't need others to compensate me, I'll make it up to myself. I opened the trunk and gave him a look and said, "I took my stuff and my bean bag's stuff." Now, I inform my family and tell them the news of my divorce from you. ”
After I finished speaking, I called directly without giving Duan Jingchen a chance to speak.
After Luo Xiaotian heard the news of my divorce from Duan Jingchen, he was silent for a long time before he broke out and asked: "In that case, why are you getting married?"
"I can't forget Gu Yixiao in my heart, and he also has a caring person by his side. Unlike me, I only take care of the company, I don't take care of people, and I'm not good at housework. "I said nonchalantly.
"Tao Ran, things shouldn't be like this. Luo Xiaotian said.
"What was that? I said.
He was silent for a long time and said, "I'm picking up the bean bags now, if you go back to the old house to live, I'll send the bean bags back." ”
"Sorry for wasting a house over there. I said with regret.
"The house is not important, the most important thing for me is to make you happy. In the years when you were separated from us, you suffered too much. So, when I see you, I want to compensate you," Luo Xiaotian said, "You should at least calm down for a while before going for a divorce." Luo Xiaotian said again.
"I didn't mention the divorce, it was Duan Jingchen who mentioned it. After he said this, I figured it out. You don't have to worry about me. I'll go back early and pack up the house. I said.
With that, I hung up.
When I got home, I had a fever again. As soon as I threw my bag on the table, I was so tired that I sank into the sofa, and I didn't have any strength in me.
In the evening, Doubao and Luo Xiaotian came back.
He put the bean bag in place, came over and touched my forehead and said, "It seems to have a fever." ”
"It's a fever, but I'm fine, just carry it for two days. I said.
Luo Xiaotian looked at me for a long time before saying, "It's okay if you don't get married, you are free alone." I originally planned to retire in the next few years, but now that you have a bean bag, I can retire early. Even if you and Doubao don't do anything, my money is enough for you to have food and clothing for the rest of your life. ”
"What about Sheng Qingjin's child?" I felt a little drunk, and my head was not clear at all.
"That kid, I have only responsibility. Luo Xiaotian didn't want to mention that child.
I laughed twice and stopped talking.
"I'm tired, go up and rest for a while, you don't have to look for me for dinner. I said.
Back in my room, I lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep, feeling as if I was about to pass out.
I don't know where I am, what I'm doing, my head is so confused that I can't even think. In this marriage, because of Duan Jingchen's initiative, I had a lot of hope, and now there is nothing.
My eyes widened, and I muttered, "Duan Jingchen, is it that you and I are just married to get married, for a dream of your youth, not because you still love me." ”
Without love, marriage is difficult to move forward.
