Chapter 42: After the Divorce

In the soothing music of the coffee shop, the pain continued to spread, and I said to Chen Qingyi: "If you have any requirements regarding the distribution of property, I will definitely meet you." ”

"We've always been financially independent, and I don't want to ask you for anything, I just want to cash out my 20 percent stake in Seaview Coffee." Chen Qingyi said.

Although Seaview Coffee's current funds are extremely tight, when Chen Qingyi proposed to cash out, I still nodded: "Okay, I will find a professional person to estimate the value and cash it out for you." ”

"Well, Lin Xi also plans to cash out the shares, she is going to settle in Ireland with Colin, you know that Ireland is the most suitable country to live in, Lin Xi told me about this, I think, there is nothing to worry about in China, so I plan to immigrate to Ireland with my parents to live, and also be a companion with Lin Xi!" Chen Qingyi explained to me why she wanted to cash out her shares.

"Lin Xi also wants to cash in?" I was amazed.

Chen Qingyi nodded: "Well, she should have told you about this recently, what's the matter, are you in trouble over there?" ”

I was silent for a moment and said, "No, I will solve the matter that you have cashed in in the near future." ”

Chen Qingyi stared at me for a long time, and finally just nodded, looking at the cars outside the coffee shop without any expression.

.......

There are seven days off during the National Day Golden Week, and the date for us to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the divorce procedures has also been postponed by a week, and during this week, Chen Qingyi still lives with me, but after Pippi falls asleep, we will sleep in separate rooms to maintain the distance after the marriage.

We took Pippi to Sanya for three of the seven days, and although it was only a domestic trip, it was only a few times in our married life in a year and a half.

Tomorrow is the end of Golden Week, this night Chen Qingyi and I still live in the same room, but we completely cut off communication, Chen Qingyi just accompanied Pippi in the living room to watch TV, I know that she wants to accompany Pippi more in the last period of time in China, she is reluctant to Pipi, but people always have to choose, she has to live her own new life after all.

.......

The next day, the sky was overcast, and the weather forecast said: there will be a heavy rainfall due to the typhoon, this bad weather just exaggerated my mood, and I have been waiting for the storm in a loss.

In the Civil Affairs Bureau, Chen Qingyi and I sat opposite the staff, and the two of us took out their respective documents, household registration books, marriage certificates, and divorce agreements and handed them over.

Chen Qingyi is a public figure in the city, when we filed for divorce, the staff was very surprised, after all, they didn't say anything, and no one dared to pat their chests and say that they would not get divorced these years, so it's not worth making a fuss.

"You're sure you're getting divorced, aren't you?"

Chen Qingyi and I nodded at the same time, and the staff didn't even persuade us to think twice, because what we showed was not something that needed to be considered, because we were all too calm, and we didn't seem to have a trace of emotional fluctuations because of the divorce.

......

Walking out of the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, we each put the divorce certificate in our bags and stopped to look at each other.

I said to Chen Qingyi: "The matter of cashing out your shares is already being done, and it can be done in three days at most!" ”

"Thank you."

"Do you have any other requirements, I will definitely help you achieve them."

Chen Qingyi, who has never been emotional, finally shed tears: "Find a woman you really love and take care of Pippi...... I wish you all happiness! ”

My heart was sour, and I once again experienced the emptiness that followed a brief lull..... I nodded to Chen Qingyi and said, "I wish you happiness ...... too!" ”

After blessing each other, we fell into a silent silence, but the wind kicked up dust and destroyed the peace around us, as if all the memories of our life together were also diffused and dissipated by this storm...... We're all a little unsteady on our feet!

"What are you going to tell Pipsqueak about our divorce?" Chen Qingyi asked me.

I shook my head and lit a cigarette, I really didn't know how to tell Pipsqueak such a brutal truth.

"I'm sorry Pipsqueak......!!" Chen Qingyi sobbed.

"You have the right to freely choose your own life without having to blame yourself...... It's my responsibility that our marriage has come to this point, and you've done enough! ”

Chen Qingyi wiped away her tears, looked at me, looked at the road ahead of us, and said to me: "Start and finish, let's finish this road together." ”

I nodded, and the two of us descended the steps side by side, walking on the road that meant the end of the marriage.

The road is not long, in the process of walking, all the pictures that Chen Qingyi and I experienced together appeared in front of my eyes one by one, and finally pieced together a complete picture, but it was instantly fragmented!

The road came to an end, and Chen Qingyi's car and I stopped on the side of the road, stopped again, and looked at each other....... Finally, in a wordless silence, they went in two directions.

......

In the evening, Pippi was picked up by my parents as usual, and I went to pick him up in extreme anxiety, and I have not told my parents about the divorce until now, but this matter cannot be hidden, they will know about it eventually.

Opening the door, Pippi sits on the couch watching cartoons, Mom prepares dinner in the kitchen, and Dad reads the newspaper.

"Why did you come back so early today?" My dad put down the newspaper and asked me in surprise.

"The company isn't busy today." I coped.

Dad nodded, picked up the newspaper and read it, Pipsqueak put down the remote control and asked me, "Dad, what about Mommy, why is she here later than you today?" ”

"Mom may be working overtime, you and Dad will go back first, okay?"

"Oh." Pipsqueak replied and watched TV again.

.......

I stood there for a long time, and finally said, "Dad, come to the kitchen, I have something to tell you and Mom." ”

Dad put down the newspaper with some confusion, but still followed me into the kitchen, and I said to my mother, who was still busy, "Mom, you stop for a while, I have something to tell you." ”

My mother asked puzzledly, "If you have to talk about it now, you have to be in the kitchen!" ”

I struggled inwardly, and finally gritted my teeth and said, "I divorced Qingyi, just today." ”

The atmosphere instantly condensed into ice, and my father and mother looked at me dumbfounded.

"Yixi, this joke can't be made! ...... Why did you divorce Qingyi? ...... Yesterday was fine! Mom questioned with a hint of anticipation.

"Mom and Dad, we're really leaving........ After more than a year of life, we have not lived comfortably, so we decided that the long pain is better than the short pain! I whispered.

When I reconfirmed, Mom and Dad finally accepted the fact, but the expressions on their faces told me that they were heartbroken, but neither of them reprimanded me loudly, I don't know if it was because they were afraid of being heard by Pipsqueak watching TV in the living room, or if they were already disappointed and didn't want to say anything to me anymore.

After a long time, my mother grabbed my arm and said, "Qingyi is such a good daughter-in-law, how can you say that you will leave?" You tell Mom, can you still chase it back, you can't divorce this marriage for anyone! ”
