Chapter 14: Revealing the Past
Before Chen Hong finally decided to divorce, she did something that she didn't even expect, she called Du Qiang and met with him. The reason why she did this was because she had two considerations, one was to understand the real reason for Wang Jing and Du Qiang's divorce, so that she could also learn from it at the last moment, and don't regret it after completing the formalities, or if there is something that has not been said to make everyone regret. In addition, she has always been very curious about Wang Jing's divorce, compared with herself, although Bai Xuesong does not have any suspicious problems, and there is no principled contradiction between them, but their marriage has been full of ups and downs, and there has never been any calm time, and the loving couple turned against each other instantly, there must be something unexplained.
When Wang Jing first divorced, she thought about asking Du Qiang, but was stopped by Bai Xuesong, and now that they are calm, it is their turn to make a choice, and they should figure things out.
This was the first time the two of them had met alone, something that had not been possible before. There is an extremely tacit understanding between Chen Hong and Wang Jing, and their aesthetics and mate selection concepts are very different, and there will be no girlfriend prevention incident. Unless you need the other party's husband to help you do something, such as Wang Jing asked Bai Xuesong to drive to help pull some things and other small things at the beginning, there is no other intersection between the two parties.
It was also very strange for Du Qiang to receive a call from Chen Hong, he and Wang Jing had been divorced for almost a year, and they had not been in touch, and I don't know why Chen Hong wanted to meet now. But he still decided to go to the appointment immediately, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to explain to Chen Hong, although there is no meaning, but many things are buried in his heart and there is nowhere to confide, at least Chen Hong should know the specific situation and prove his innocence.
The two of them sat opposite each other, tacitly knowing that Du Qiang knew that the story would always be told first.
"What the hell was going on in the first place?" Chen Hong asked.
"It was my first love, and we were in our early twenties."
"She's beautiful."
"How do you know?"
"I've seen that picture."
Du Qiang didn't ask, but took out the photo from his wallet, which was re-glued together by him, and there were several obvious cracks horizontally and vertically.
Chen Hong thought, it seems that this woman really makes Du Qiang moved, and the photos are still broken like this.
"She's a flight attendant."
"No wonder."
"We were in a relationship for the first time, and I met her on a plane on a business trip, and I fell in love with her at first sight. She liked me too. The two of us were in love like two children, pure and immaculate, and our parents were very supportive, and soon we decided to get married. ”
"And then?"
Du Qiang paused, his eyes flushed.
"Have you ever heard that there was a plane crash in South Korea that year? From Beijing to Seoul. ”
Chen Hong didn't understand at first, she wasn't interested in airplanes, but she immediately knew what Du Qiang meant, just now Du Qiang said that the girl was a flight attendant. She also had a surprised expression.
Du Qiang on the other side was very calm, but with tears in his eyes. Chen Hong didn't expect that so much time had passed, and Du Qiang would be so emotional when he mentioned these past events, it seems that the original memory is indeed too good.
Chen Hong hurriedly diverted the topic.
"What's going on with those train tickets?"
"After she left, every year I had to go to Tianjin to see her parents, she was an only child, and the old man was very good to me." Du Qiang couldn't go on.
"Wang Jing said that the ticket is only for the time before you got married."
"Yes, I saw her parents for the last time before I got married, in fact, I am also very conflicted about this, I should go to see them, but every time I go to see them, I cry, and I am also very uncomfortable. Until I was ready to get married, I told them. They were happy and sad, and said that I would have time to take Wang Jing to show them. I didn't want them to be too sad, so I didn't do that. I also know that Wang Jing is more careful and doesn't want to cause trouble. I kept those tickets and photos purely for my own consolation, and it was a skeen to remember that people were gone. I seldom remembered it afterwards, the coat was given to me by the girl on my twenty-fifth birthday, and it was the only gift she ever gave me, and we didn't have much money at that time, and I didn't wear it again, and I almost forgot what was inside, and I never remembered to talk to Wang Jing about it. ”
Both of them were silent, Chen Hong didn't expect the plot of the story to be so bizarre, but she felt that Du Qiang didn't seem to have anything wrong.
"It's a shame that the two of you are so sorry for this divorce, how good it would be if you made it clear at the beginning."
"She didn't give me a chance to make it clear, in fact, I didn't want to divorce Wang Jing at the beginning, after all, there is nothing big about it, and the two of us are fine. Finally, I want to call her and make things clear. But I didn't expect her to tear the photo apart, which also broke my heart. She didn't need to be jealous of a dead person. ”
"Hey, you two are so stupid, you two are inkblots, and you don't say anything."
"It's useless to say this now. You're looking for me for this? ”
"Yes and no. When you divorced, I wanted to ask you what was going on, but in that case, I guess you were not very calm, especially Wang Jing. So I didn't ask. ”
"Now that you know what happened, do you want to tell her?"
Chen Hong didn't know how to answer, Wang Jing's changes over the past year estimated that Du Qiang didn't know, and there was no need to tell him.
"It's better not to tell her, it's gone, although it's a pity, but there can't be any changes, it's fate. How are you guys? Lao Bai is okay. ”
"We're still like that, just make do." Chen Hong hesitated for a moment and did not tell him about the problem he was facing.
Chen Hong found Du Qiang because she wanted to play a role in guiding and suggesting her final decision and find an excuse. This excuse may be that she and Bai Cedar are separated, or maybe they are not separated, in short, they all need an excuse, otherwise she still can't decide. She feels that her marriage with Wang Jing is like a child's toy when she was a child, her toys are worn out and scarred, and the player doesn't take it seriously. But the more I care about it, the more fragile it becomes, and if I don't pay attention to it, it will break, just like that photo, even if it is glued, it exposes scars, and it is unsightly.
Since such beautiful things can fall apart in an instant, let alone the broken toys in your hands.
After Chen Hong met Du Qiang, he suddenly realized about him. But she listened to Bai Xuesong's words and did not tell Wang Jing the truth of the matter. She knew that it was useless to say anything now, not only could it not save their marriage, but it could also make things worse, Chen Hong concluded that in the face of such an insider, Wang Jing would be even more unacceptable. She can understand Du Qiang, the original feelings are more cherished than their marriage, but Wang Jing, as a wife, will definitely not think so. So let's bury this thing forever.
But before finally going through the divorce procedures, Chen Hong still met with Wang Jing. The purpose of this meeting is very clear, ask Wang Jing what she needs to pay attention to when she divorces, and make a strategy. Especially help yourself think about what to do if Bai Xuesong does not agree to sign on the spot. She knew very well that Bai Xuesong was unwilling to divorce in her heart. And he is the kind of person who has his own opinions, although he is usually helpless against her, but at the critical moment, Chen Hong is not sure whether he will make some unexpected moves. Since she was a child, she has never experienced such a major event, and in the past, everything at home was done by Bai Xuesong, and she was only responsible for sitting back and enjoying it. And this time it came to herself, and she had to face it.
Wang Jing not only made the process and Chen Hong clear, but also told Chen Hong a principle, just two words: persistence. Don't drop the chain at a critical moment. Wang Jing knew that Chen Hong was like a paper tiger, usually in the limelight at home and abroad, but Bai Xuesong let her, she didn't have any idea at all. With Bai Cedar's ability, it is entirely possible to turn the tide of events at the last moment. For more than 20 years, Wang Jing has watched Chen Hong's family coldly, and everything is under control. So she persuaded Chen Hong that if the divorce had been decided, no matter what Bai Xuesong did or how the staff adjusted, she must insist on it in order to achieve her goal.
At the last moment, Bai Xuesong was still thinking about whether it was possible not to leave, but he couldn't think of any good way to stop Chen Hong. But Chen Hong didn't think much about it at all, she felt that divorce was just a formality, just like if you lost your ID card and needed to go to the police station to handle it, everything was done as usual.
The result was beyond Chen Hong's expectations, and it deviated from Wang Jing's judgment, Bai Xuesong did not refute at all, and the two of them went through the formalities smoothly.
Coming out of the office of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Bai Xuesong said to Chen Hong in the elevator:
"Shouldn't we have a casual meal too?"
Chen Hong glared at him.
"I have to go home at night, it's not like I can't see each other, what kind of casual dinner."
Chen Hong was not in that mood, she was anxious to see Wang Jing as soon as possible.
Chen Hong urged Bai Xuesong to hurry up. Watching Bai Xuesong drive away, she felt that they were not here to divorce today, Bai Xuesong seemed to be going on a business trip to another city for a while, she was just here to see him off, a temporary separation. They didn't dislike each other, and even she was a little grateful to Bai Xuesong, she divorced so smoothly, she didn't entangle with herself, and she didn't shout grievances, after all, Bai Xuesong has done her best for this family for so many years, and she has not complained so far. And they are gone, even now at the last moment, they are still disconnected.
Before that, she and Wang Jing talked about divorcing Bai Xuesong. Wang Jing is 100% supportive, and shows an extremely enthusiastic attitude, it seems that Wang Jing is very willing for their team to grow again, and she also patiently taught Chen Hong some methods, such as what will happen when she arrives at the Civil Affairs Bureau, how to deal with it to ensure that the divorce will not be a problem, which she has a little experience.
Chen Hong actually has two purposes for looking for Wang Jing, after all, the marriage of more than ten years has dissolved in an instant, and there will be a little bit of loss, although the degree of this loss is not very large, but I always want to find someone to talk to and express that although Wang Jing has always supported Chen Hong's divorce, comfort between girlfriends is the most valuable at this time.
