Gu Mochen sat on the stone bench in the park blowing the wind, it was dark again, and there was not a single star in the inky night sky, just like last night, but it didn't rain.

For the first time in my life, I experienced the feeling of powerlessness.

He shook a cigarette out of his cigarette case and lit it, taking a puff occasionally, most of the time quietly watching it burn out between his fingers. There was a pile of extinguished cigarette butts at his feet, which he didn't know how many he smoked, and the melancholy could not be relieved.

The phone rang suddenly, and he took it out to see that it was a call from his father.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he picked it up and put it to his ear, and heard the person over there say, "I'm coming to the hospital, where are you, why didn't I see you?" ”

"I'm ......" Gu Mochen looked around, there were only a few elderly people walking their dogs in the park, among them was a pair of old men and old ladies who were holding a small corgi, talking and laughing. Imagine that this is probably the old age of him and his wife.

He stood up and walked in the direction of the hospital: "I'll go back right away." ”

Although Gu Wang was sent home by his son and daughter-in-law, he didn't sleep all night, and he couldn't get up from the bed this morning, and it took him more than half a day to recover, and then he knew about Tan Man's situation, and insisted on coming to the hospital despite Gu Yongrui's dissuasion.

Not long after he arrived, Tan Man woke up. The doctor said that if there was no bloating and vomiting, she could eat some liquid food appropriately, not too much, and Gu Mian fed her a few mouthfuls of millet porridge.

"Let your grandpa in." Tan Man said.

She could turn Gu Mochen away, but the etiquette she received made it impossible for her to let a septuagenarian stand outside the door and wait.

Gu Mian opened the door and helped Gu Wang in, but he was not as affectionate as before, and he felt that there was a layer of separation.

Also coming in were Gu Yongrui and Xu Xiangzhi, the two looked at Tan Man, afraid of touching her sore spots, and did not mention the leg injury, only saying that she should recuperate.

Gu Wang said: "Daughter-in-law, I sincerely apologize to you, I didn't think about leaving that child, I hope you don't blame Mo Chen, he is sincere to you." ”

Tan Zhen sat on the sofa and flipped through the newspaper on the coffee table, and sneered when he heard the words: "I thought that the old man, you would like to let the two of them divorce, so that your grandson can live in the Gu family, after all, there is a huge family business to inherit." I used to think that your knowledge was not ordinary, but I didn't expect that I, as a director, would also have times when I was blind. ”

Tan Zhen is used to being casual, and he will say whatever he thinks in his heart, unlike Tan Man, who always leaves a little affection for people.

Sure enough, Tan Man frowned: "Tan Zhen, don't say it." ”

Gu Wang had never been said like this, and his fingers trembled with anger, and he clenched the dragon's head crutches, but he endured it without having a seizure. It was his fault in the first place, and it was also self-inflicted when he was misunderstood, he explained: "I didn't think about inheriting the family business, I just felt compassion for a while, and I couldn't bear to hurt the Gu family's bloodline......"

"Dad, you don't have to explain, and you don't have to apologize to me." Tan Man was a little impatient, "I made it very clear, this is a matter between me and Gu Mochen, it has nothing to do with that child, whether you want to keep him or whatever, it can't change my decision to divorce." ”

Gu looked at his body for a moment, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Xu Xiangzhi is also a woman, so she naturally understands her feelings, but she is here to be a lobbyist today, so she has to persuade: "Sister-in-law, have you really thought about it?" You're divorced, what should you do about sleeping? ”

Tan Man looked at Gu Mian, she stood quietly beside the bed, her face was a little haggard, and her lips were tightly pursed. After being silent for a while, she said, "Mianmian will understand me, and I am divorced from this marriage." ”

At this moment, Gu Mochen came over, stood at the door and heard her words, and the feeling of powerlessness increased exponentially.

He walked up to her like his legs were filled with lead, Tan Man looked at him, his eyes flickered slightly, and said slowly: "It's just right that you came, let Lawyer Yan come over tomorrow to prepare a divorce agreement." Let's get a divorce, I don't want anything but sleep. ”

Gu Mochen said resolutely: "I don't agree!" ”

Tan Man: "Gu Mochen, you once said that you respected all the decisions I made, you have already violated the promise once, do you want to violate it a second time?" Don't force me to hate you. ”

Gu Mian tilted his head slightly, took a breath, and finally reached this point.

The loving parents in her eyes actually used the word "hate".

The entire ward was shocked.

Gu Wang's apology, Gu Yongrui and Xu Xiangzhi's persuasion, and Tan Zhen's rebuttal were intertwined, making the originally quiet ward extremely noisy.

"Daughter-in-law, are you really unwilling to give Mo Chen another chance? How can you say that your relationship between husband and wife for so many years can be broken. He accidentally made a mistake this time, I'll teach him a lesson, and then talk to him when you're angry? ”

"Yes, sister-in-law, don't be so impulsive, calm down and talk to your eldest brother well, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about sleep."

"I'm afraid it's a little late to say nice things now, the women outside are all pregnant with children and broke into the Gu family, did you say a word for my sister at that time? Even if there was one person standing on her side and thinking about her, she wouldn't run out on a rainy night! You've hurt her like this, and you're embarrassed to beg for forgiveness! ”

Only Gu Mochen was always silent.

The two have been husband and wife for more than 20 years, Tan Man knows his weakness very well, and a sentence of "Chengruo" makes him speechless.

"Don't even make any noise." He spoke weakly.

The sound of quarrels in the ward stopped abruptly, everyone looked at Gu Mochen, but he looked at Tan Man on the hospital bed, and said it so hard: "If this is what you want, I am willing to fulfill you." Although I know that you will not forgive me, I still want to tell you that I am sorry that I have failed you. ”

Gu Wang covered his chest and coughed violently: "Mo Chen! ”

"Dad, don't say it, you don't know Xiaoyi, I hurt her, she won't be happy if she continues to be tied to me." Gu Mochen turned his back to the crowd and said with red eyes, "I'll let Lawyer Yan come over tomorrow." ”

Gu Wang saw that there was no room for things to turn around, his blood pressure rose sharply, and he almost fainted to the ground, Gu Mian stood on his left hand, and his eyes were quick to support him.

He grabbed Gu Mian's hand and patted the back of her hand, his tone was pleading: "Mianmian, can you help grandpa persuade your mother not to let her divorce your father." Grandpa loves you the most, and grandpa never wanted to hurt you. ”

"Grandpa......"

Gu Mian shouted, not knowing what to say.

Although she is sad about her mother's decision, she has no right to stop it.

Tan Zhen stood up and asked them all to leave on the grounds that Tan Man wanted to rest, and the quiet in the ward returned.

Tan Man's eyes looked at the snow-white ceiling, there was no imaginary tug-of-war, and there was no entanglement and quarrel, she got the result she wanted, but she found that she was not happy, and her chest seemed to be blocked by something.

Of course, Tan Zhen has no reason to stand on her sister's side, if she wants to divorce, she will fight with the Gu family to the end, if she still wants to live with Gu Mochen, she will help her solve that trouble by all odds.

The premise is that she really wants to do it in her heart, and she doesn't want to see her painful and regretful look.

"Sister, do you really want a divorce?" Tan Zhen asked.

"Others don't know, don't you know my temper? I won't change my decision. Tan Man smiled lightly, "No matter how you put together the broken things, you can't restore them to their original appearance, so it's better to give them up." Although I was reluctant at first, it was better than regretting it for the rest of my life. ”

Tan Zhen looked at Gu Mian, and the rest of the words were not spoken, since she had already decided, there was no need to say those words again.

Tan Man seemed to know what she was going to say, she glanced at the sky outside the window: "It's so late, you haven't eaten dinner yet, Tan Zhen, you go buy a meal, remember to braised pork ribs." ”

Tan Zhen paused, walked out of the ward, closed the door with his hand, and left the mother and daughter to talk alone.

Tan Man patted the position beside him: "Mianmian, come here." ”

Gu Mian sat on the edge of the hospital bed, one hand held in the palm of her mother's hand, her palm was not as thick as her father, it was as soft as water.

"Mom is selfish and keeps you around without asking your wishes. I have nothing but you. She put her other hand on her leg, patted it, couldn't feel it, and smiled bitterly, "I've become like this, I don't know when I'll recover, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you." ”

Gu Mian told herself not to shed tears in front of her mother, which would make her already sad heart even more uncomfortable.

At this moment, she couldn't help it, and threw herself into her arms and hugged her tightly: "It's okay Mom, I'll take care of you." We listened to my uncle's words, and when the injuries from the surgery recovered, we would do rehabilitation, and we would definitely be able to stand up. ”

Tan Man stroked her face: "Okay, mom promises you." ”

The marriage has been ruined, life has to go on, and she has a smart and lovely daughter who can't be knocked down like this.

——

Even if Gu Mochen was unwilling to divorce, he had to respect Tan Man's decision.

As she said, dragging it out in the end will only increase the hatred for him, and while she can still speak calmly, it is better to completely cut off the connection with each other, so as to avoid speaking ill of each other.

The next morning, Gu Mochen did not go to the company. In fact, he didn't go to the company for the past two days, and when he encountered major affairs, the secretary would call him, and he would hand it over to others to deal with, and he really didn't have the energy to deal with the company's affairs at present.

The closer he was to the hospital, the heavier Gu Mochen's heart sank.

He was followed by Yan Zheng, a private lawyer, a man in a suit and leather shoes, carrying a black briefcase, and followed him into a hospital room.

Tan Man fell asleep, and his face still hadn't recovered his blood, but it was better than the night he came out of the operating room. She was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, her arms were on the outside of the quilt, and the back of her hand was pierced with an infusion needle.

Gu Mochen looked at her, and his heart couldn't stop hurting.

Tan Zhen, Tan Qian, and Gu Mian were all guarding the side. After learning the reason for Tan Man's car accident, Tan Qian expected such a moment, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

So far, as Tan Man's relative, he has nothing to say about her choice. However, from the doctor's point of view, the lack of family companionship and encouragement is not good for the patient's condition.

Tan Qian lowered his voice and said, "She just fell asleep, you may have to wait for a while." ”

Gu Mochen: "No hurry. ”

If he could, he would be willing to wait a long, long time.

Gu Mian sat on the edge of the sofa and didn't speak, she was holding a bunch of checklists in her hand, it was the morning when the doctor re-examined her mother's body.

Yesterday was a long night away, today is cloudy again, the weather forecast says there is light rain, and now there are a few dark clouds floating in the sky, gray. A gust of wind blew, and the branches outside the window swayed.

Gu Mochen looked at his daughter and wanted to say a few words to her, but before the words could be spoken, the person on the hospital bed woke up: "Don't wait, bring the divorce agreement." ”

Tan Man did fall asleep, but he didn't sleep very well, and woke up with a slight noise.

She knew that Gu Mochen was coming, and she struggled for a long time with her eyes closed, and then she thought about it, what was the point of delaying for dozens of minutes, but the result was not always the same.
