Chapter 43: Divorce Press Conference
After eating, I excused myself to go to the bathroom and was about to pay the bill, only to know that Li Xue had already prefilled the card with 100,000 yuan.
"Xiaoshi, do you have time to go shopping with me in the afternoon?"
Sent Su Yu away, Li Xue was full of interest and held me cordially.
"Okay." I smiled, and for some reason, she always made me feel so kind.
Since I couldn't grab the order for lunch, I can always invite her to afternoon tea later.
I accompanied Li Xue to visit the counters of major first-line brands, and she had a picky eye, and it took three hours to choose two skirts.
"Aunt Li doesn't seem to be interested in these brands." I looked at her interest and asked curiously, "Do you have a favorite brand?" ”
Li Xue said gently: "I have been living abroad before, and I am used to seeing all kinds of popular styles, but I like Chinese style. In particular, our Chinese cheongsam is exquisitely tailored, which can outline the beauty of women's curves, and it is also the best design to look at the world. ”
I have to say that Li Xue wears a cheongsam that is indeed very charming, beautiful and moving.
She told me that there was an old tailor in the Li family, and that the emerald cheongsam she was wearing when I first met her was made by the old tailor.
"Speaking of which, many of the clothes I wore since I was a child were made by Aunt Chen. Not only is the cut top-notch, but the embroidery is also beautiful. Li Xue looked at me and smiled gently, "Next time I have a chance, I'll ask her to make you a tailor-made set." Xiaoshi: You must be very beautiful in a cheongsam. ”
I followed her and said, "Then I will thank Aunt Li in advance." ”
In the blink of an eye, it was time for afternoon tea, and we walked into a café.
The mobile phone rang, it was Gao Pan calling, and after connecting, he asked me endlessly: "Mr. Ruan, are you really divorced from Mr. Li?" ”
"What?" My head buzzed, and I didn't know what was going on.
When the sound fell, a piece of financial news was broadcast on the TV screen of the café: "This afternoon, Li's Group publicly released the news of the divorce of CEO Mr. Li Yunzhou and his wife. ”
I hung up the phone and stared at the screen.
The screen switched, and the spokesperson of Li's public relations department held a press conference on my divorce from Li Yunzhou in front of many reporters.
"Mr. Li Yunzhou and Miss Ruan Shi decided to end their marriage that lasted three years for personal reasons."
In WeChat, Gao Pan sent a series of messages.
I clicked on a Weibo she pushed, which was a press release that Li paid to ask someone to publish, and an anonymous "insider" revealed the reason for my divorce from Li Yunzhou on the Internet-
"Ruan Shi's ability to marry Li Yunzhou is considered a high climb, but this woman is restless, and she hooks up with men everywhere after marriage, which makes the Li family uneasy. The child who died before his birth may be retribution, after the death of the child, Li Yunzhou was very sad, but Ruan Shi was like a nobody, and went on a date with another man on the day of the child's funeral. Not long ago, the Ruan family used the name of the Li family to solicit investment everywhere, and Ruan Shi was caught and raped in bed during a tryst with a wild man. Li Yunzhou couldn't bear it anymore and finally filed for divorce. ”
"It's also because she was caught raped in bed, so this woman went out of the house and didn't get a penny. It is said that she also wanted Li's shares, but was slapped in the face by Mr. Li. I don't know why her skin is so thick? ”
Li's public relations is worthy of its reputation, and one after another has been issued, and I have become a street rat on the Internet.
Netizens who don't know the truth have accused me of being a shameless slut, saying that Li Yunzhou is a good departure, and it is better for a woman like me to go out and be hit by a car and die.
I froze in place, my eyes staring at my phone screen starting to lose focus.
I originally thought that when the divorce news was announced, Li's public relations would find some decent reasons to maintain stability.
But I didn't expect that Li Yunzhou would not say a word, pushing me into the abyss of verbal criticism.
"Xiaoshi, are you okay?" Li Xue's voice pulled back my thoughts.
I looked at her in a daze, and opened my mouth to say that I was fine, but I couldn't.
"Let's go to the car." Li Xue pulled me out of the café.
In the underground garage, we sat in the car, Li Xue patted me on the shoulder and comforted me softly: "Don't think so much, divorce is not a big deal." Life is your own, you are still young, and there is still a long way to go. ”
I nodded, with a smile that was uglier than crying, "Well, I know. In fact, we divorced a long time ago, but I didn't expect him to make it public so suddenly, and I wasn't ready for it. ”
"Aunt Li, if you stay with me in this situation, I'm afraid it will be bad for you to be seen. I'll send you home first. I smiled at her, my hand holding the steering wheel shaky.
All I had in my mind were the words that Li Yunzhou had said to me.
Yes, he said, I am not qualified to decide everything, and it is his right to when the news of the divorce is made public.
He was so disgusted with me, of course, he would end our marriage in the most cruel way possible.
What the hell am I sad about? I've figured it all out.
"I'll drive you back first."
Li Xue saw that I was not in good shape and switched places with me.
Her driving skills are good, and the car drives steadily.
Along the way, I kept my head sideways, looking out the window at the scenery that flashed by in silence.
Li Xue drove seriously, looked ahead, and said to me softly: "Xiaoshi, Aunt Li has something to say to you." ”
I turned to look at her.
Her eyes were firm, her eyes were sincere, and she said earnestly: "The end is painful, but this pain also represents a new life." When you feel unhappy, you should take the initiative to end a relationship. Because only then will you have a chance to regain your happiness. There will come a time when you will be grateful for being brave now. ”
I was stunned, my nose was sore, and tears couldn't help but fall.
Li Xue parked the car on the side of the road, took me into her arms, and patted me on the back in distress: "Silly child, cry." After crying today, don't cry for unworthy people in the future! ”
I lay in her arms and burst into tears.
Li Yunzhou, this is the last time I will cry for you.
Two hours later, Li Xue and I said goodbye and returned to the apartment alone.
Looking at the countless messages and missed messages on my phone, I pressed the shutdown button.
As soon as I slept until dawn, I cleaned up my mood and vowed to live beautifully for Nozomi and myself.
I turned on my phone, and Huo Xiyuan's call just came.
"Brother Xiyuan, I'm fine." I answered the phone with a grin and was the first to speak.
On the other end of the earpiece, Huo Xiyuan was stunned and said softly, "I know you're okay." Jia Ming asked me to ask you out for a drink tonight. It's in the sanatorium, she cooks herself, come? ”
"Come on, I just think about Xixi." I replied cheerfully, and my heart warmed.
If they don't see me, I'm afraid they won't be reassured.
