Chu Lingjue's tall body swayed obviously.
Every word Gu Xiwan said seemed to turn into a sharp knife, piercing the most sensitive place in his heart.
He has always treated Gu Xiwan like a treasure.
In the past, he always thought that Gu Xiwan loved her. Whenever he thought that the woman he loved deeply also loved him, he would feel a warmth even in the saddest moments in his life.
At this moment, Gu Xiwan used these words to tear everything he was most proud of in the past into pieces, making him feel cold even in the warm spring room...
"So that's it!"
Chu Lingjue's voice was low, and there was clearly a trace of emotion between his cold brows and eyes, as if he was hurt.
At this moment, a large bag of thumbtacks was placed on his desk. He had asked his servant to help him fix the drawings a few days ago.
He suddenly turned his back to Gu Xiwan, looked at the bag of thumbtacks and said,
"Aunt Liu, come here."
The "Aunt Liu" Chu Lingjue mentioned was the servant who had spoken to Gu Xiwan when Gu Xiwan came home. After Gu Xiwan returned home, a large area of the ground was soiled by Gu Xiwan's footsteps. At this time, Aunt Liu He was mopping the floor outside Chu Lingjue's study.
"Coming."
When she heard Chu Lingjue calling her, the servant hurriedly walked into Chu Lingjue's study and said respectfully,
"Master, may I ask what your orders are."
Chu Lingjue still looked at the pack of thumbtacks and said coldly,
"Set the bag of thumbtacks from her feet to the door, with the tips of the thumbtacks pointing upward and no more than one centimeter apart between each thumbtack."
Although the servant was shocked, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He had no choice but to pick up the pack of thumbtacks from Chu Lingjue's desk and follow Chu Lingjue's instructions.
Gu Xiwan didn't know what Chu Lingjue was going to do.
However, it was chilling to see the servant squatting at her feet, placing thumbtacks one after another at her feet. The sharp tip of each thumbtack was blooming with a cold light in the bright light.
Gu Xiwan was nearly three meters away from the door.
It took at least ten minutes before the servants finished placing the thumbtacks. Hundreds of upside-down thumbtacks stretched from Gu Xiwan's feet to the door. They were densely packed and particularly dazzling.
"Master, I've done everything."
The servant's voice sounded.
Chu Lingjue didn't reply. Until now, he still turned his back to Gu Xiwan and never looked back at her. He just said as cold as ice and snow,
"Since you are so determined to leave me, I will give you a chance. As long as you step on these thumbtacks and walk out of my bedroom door, I will fulfill your wish and give you freedom as you wish!"
The corners of Gu Xiwan's mouth twitched.
She was obviously disheartened by Chu Lingjue!
However, when she heard Chu Lingjue's indifferent words, she still felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her. She felt as if her whole body was chilled.
She looked at Chu Lingjue's back in disbelief.
He still refused to look back at her, and his whole body was as cold as an iceberg.
"Ah."
Seeing Chu Lingjue like this, Gu Xiwan actually laughed out loud.
It was also at this moment that her heart suddenly no longer hurt, and her clear eyes revealed a trace of relief.
"Mr. Chu, you always stick to your word. Those words you just said were your own. Aunt Liu heard them clearly. I hope you won't regret it."
As he said that, he looked away from Chu Lingjue's back indifferently, stepped forward with his right leg and walked towards the thumbtacks.
Gu Xiwan didn't know that although Chu Lingjue never looked back, he was watching her through the mirror on his desk. When he saw her raising her foot and really stepping on the thumbtacks, he suddenly turned around and pulled Caught her wrist.
Gu Xiwan's toes stepped on the tip of the thumbtack, but Chu Lingjue suddenly pulled her back.
She didn't stand firm and threw herself into Chu Lingjue's arms.
Chu Lingjue held her steady with his hands, and looked down at her haggard face. There was clearly a trace of hurt in his cold voice.
"Gu Xiwan, you are so cruel. Even if I do this, can't I keep you?"
Gu Xiwan could not have imagined that even in such a situation, Chu Lingjue's eyes would still look doting and gentle when he looked at her.
However, it was precisely because she was greedy for his favor and tenderness in the past that she could not make up her mind again and again when she should have made a decision with him. This time, it was different!
She should not repeat the mistakes of the past!
She no longer needs his pampering and tenderness!
Pushing away Chu Lingjue's hand that was supporting her, Gu Xiwan only had coldness in her eyes.
"Yes, I am a cruel person. You always said that I am cold and heartless. Haven't you always known me well? That's how I am!"
Chu Lingjue didn't speak any more, but his red eyes narrowed tighter.
Gu Xiwan turned around and looked at the thumbtacks on the ground and said meaninglessly,
"I will divorce you no matter what, which means I will definitely walk through these thumbtacks. Please stop holding me back."
After saying that, he was leaving again.
However, before she could take her front foot forward, Chu Lingjue's right hand was already pressing on her shoulder, making her unable to move forward.
"No, I'll sign it!"
After saying that, he picked up a pen on the desk and signed his name on the divorce agreement.
Gu Xiwan has been waiting for this moment to arrive.
This is obviously the result she expected.
However, when this moment really came, she didn't feel any joy in her heart...
There is no sadness, no sorrow, no loss...
My mind is empty, there is nothing...
She just stood there with her back to Chu Lingjue. It wasn't until Chu Lingjue sent the signed divorce agreement to her arms that she regained consciousness as if her soul had returned to its original place.
"Thanks."
Gu Xiwan raised her eyebrows needlessly.
She took the agreement, glanced down at Chu Lingjue's signature, and ignored him as if Chu Lingjue didn't exist.
He just said to the servant who was standing at the door,
"Aunt Liu, I'm leaving. Please clear away these thumbtacks blocking my feet."
"oh……"
The servant hurriedly brought tools to clean up the large thumbtacks on the floor.
Gu Xiwan resolutely walked towards the door.
Chu Lingjue was always watching her figure. She couldn't see that this man, who was as noble as a king, had a pair of bloodshot eyes filled with tears at this moment. He looked hurt but tried his best to endure it. I'm afraid no matter how ruthless he was, People who see it will feel unbearable...
But Gu Xiwan never looked back at him.
Seeing Gu Xiwan walking out of the door, Chu Lingjue could no longer hold back. He stretched out his right hand towards her back and called softly,
"Wanwan..."
At this moment, Gu Xiwan felt a stabbing pain in her heart for no apparent reason.
She stopped, turned her back to Chu Lingjue, and said calmly,
"I don't want to delay it any longer. With this divorce agreement, we only need a divorce certificate to completely draw a clear line. Tomorrow happens to be Monday, and the Civil Affairs Bureau will be at work. I will be at the Civil Affairs Bureau at nine o'clock in the morning on time. Wait for you."
After saying that, he quickened his pace and left.
Chu Lingjue stretched his arm forward a little more, and his hands trembled and clenched tightly, but he couldn't catch her figure.
The moment Gu Xiwan insisted on leaving, he felt extremely suffocated. Seeing Gu Xiwan walking further and further away, his heart felt even more suffocated, as if he was being held tightly by a big hand. When Xiwan walked to the door of the living room, his vision suddenly went dark and he fell to the ground.
"Boom!"
This heavy sound came from behind Gu Xiwan.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the servant shout anxiously,
"Master, what's wrong with you?!"
Gu Xiwan paused in her steps.
She knew something had happened to Chu Lingjue.
However, she did not look back. Instead, she quickened her pace and walked out of the living room decisively.
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.
What's more, Chu Lingjue has paid so much for Gu Xiwan, and Gu Xiwan has given birth to Chu Lingjue's child. It is impossible for her to be completely ruthless towards Chu Lingjue all of a sudden.
But from the moment Chu Lingjue signed the divorce agreement, it also meant that her fate with Chu Lingjue had come to an end.
Perhaps it is difficult to forget someone you once loved deeply.
But she will try her best to keep her love for Chu Lingjue out of her heart. From now on, she will never allow her heart to cause any ripples because of Chu Lingjue...
…
"Master, are you okay? Ah! Your hand..."
After the servant helped Chu Lingjue up, he looked at Chu Lingjue's bleeding right hand and panicked.
The servants had not completely cleaned the thumbtacks on the floor before. When Chu Lingjue just fell to the ground, two thumbtacks were stuck on the back of his hand. The red blood was already all over the back of his hand, along the seams between his fingers. Fingertips can't help but drip.
Chu Lingjue seemed to feel no pain. His eyes were looking at the door for a moment, and he said in a daze,
"My wife was there just now, where is she now?"
"Young Madam...she..."
Seeing Chu Lingjue's appearance, the servant couldn't help but feel sad and said regretfully,
"Master, when you fell to the ground, the young lady was indeed where you are looking now, but after you fell to the ground, she left. Have you forgotten? You have already signed the divorce agreement, and she is no longer you wife."
"..." Chu Lingjue's lips opened slightly, and he didn't know what he wanted to say. As he opened his mouth, a hysterical pain suddenly came from his chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pop" sound. The exquisitely carved lips are dyed to look particularly enchanting...
"Oh my God!"
The servant screamed.
She remembered that not long after Chu Lingjue and Gu Xiwan got married, she was so jealous that she vomited blood because she saw Gu Xiwan and Chu Lingxiao together.
Later, Chu Lingjue learned that Gu Xiwan was the girl who sacrificed her life to save him on the night he was plotted against, so he no longer acted like that.
Unexpectedly, after Gu Xiwan left, the young master would be in such a situation again.
Knowing that what caused Chu Lingjue to be like this was his heart disease, the servant hurriedly called the housekeeper.
At this time, Butler Cheng was resting in his bedroom. When he learned about Chu Lingjue's condition, he didn't even bother to change his clothes and came to Chu Lingjue's study in his pajamas.
Looking at Chu Lingjue sitting beside the bed with a haggard expression, he said worriedly,
"Master, your hand is still bleeding. Let me help you deal with it."
With that said, he came to grab Chu Lingjue's hand.
However, as soon as he came to Chu Lingjue, Chu Lingjue said coldly,
"Steward Cheng, why did you betray me too?"
"What?"
As if he had been hit by a immobilizing spell, Butler Cheng froze in front of Chu Lingjue.
Although Chu Lingjue was cold and majestic outside, Chu Lingjue always regarded Butler Cheng as his elder and treated Butler Cheng with special respect. At this moment, Chu Lingjue's deep tone and cold eyes made Butler Cheng extremely panicked.
"You and I are both sensible people. Why are you still acting in front of me now?"
Chu Lingjue, who had always respected the butler, looked at the butler's eyes so dangerously that one dared not look directly at him.
"Yesterday, after I sent Yiyi to the hospital, I couldn't find my mobile phone. I want you to help me contact my wife. I told you that if she is still by the spring, I will ask you to send her home. Arrange her, and you tell me that she went home safe and sound...
Last night, after Ling Xiao contacted me, I learned that you hid the truth from me. She did not go home, but something so big happened, and our child was not saved. "
"this……"
Butler Cheng shook his head helplessly at first, and then sighed,
"Master, I know I can't hide it from you, and I don't intend to hide it from you, but everything I do is for your own good."
"For my own good?!"
Chu Lingjue stood up excitedly. His excessive regret made his Adam's apple roll, and his eyes became even redder.
"If it weren't for you lying to me, I would definitely go to my wife's side to stay with her after I learned that something happened to her. In that case, the first person she saw when she woke up would be me. In that case, she might not You were heartbroken and insisted on leaving me, how dare you say it was for my own good?"
The butler's expression changed slightly, but he still said calmly,
"Master, please be patient. I heard from the servant that the reason why the young lady left you has nothing to do with her losing the child, but because she didn't love you in the first place——
In the past, because she had this child, she didn't want her to lose her father, and had been deceiving you to favor her under the guise of loving you; now that the child is gone, she doesn't need to continue to deceive you, and you have seen the truth clearly. This is not Is it a good thing? Young Master, what is there for you to miss about such a woman who always pretends to be acting in front of you..."
"Shut up!"
The bloody scar in his heart seemed to be sprinkled with a handful of sea salt. Regardless of the injury on his hand, Chu Lingjue swept all the water glasses, mirrors, and documents on the desk to the ground, and said in a trembling voice,
"Get out of this house. From now on, I will have nothing to do with you. Don't let me see you again!"
Fifteen years ago, after Sheng Yuxuan accepted Chu Lingjue as his disciple, Butler Cheng got to know Chu Lingjue. Later, Butler Cheng became Chu Lingjue's confidant, and he was also Chu Lingjue's most trusted person.
In the past, Butler Cheng had made big mistakes, and Chu Lingjue graciously forgave him.
However, this time...
Butler Cheng never expected that Chu Lingjue would be so decisive to him because of Gu Xiwan.
Butler Cheng's eyes were filled with tears and he said in pain,
"Master, I swear, everything I do is for your sake, not to mention the old lady..."
"roll!"
Chu Lingjue punched the table hard.
"I never want to see you again, take all your stuff and get out of here!"
Butler Cheng knew that Chu Lingjue would never forgive him, so he could only look at Chu Lingjue one last time unwillingly and turned around.
In fact, when Butler Cheng decided to help Sheng Xinyi, he thought that Chu Lingjue would not forgive him easily.
However, he still underestimated Chu Lingjue's feelings for Gu Xiwan, so he did not expect that the consequences would be so serious.
Thinking of this, Butler Cheng couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Because he and Ji Shaoting teamed up to do something even more unforgivable behind Chu Lingjue and Gu Xiwan's back. Chu Lingjue just knew that he had concealed some truths from him, so he didn't miss the old relationship so much. He couldn't imagine that Chu Lingjue What would happen to him after knowing what he did.
Fortunately, Chu Lingjue has already signed the divorce agreement!
Now, it's all coming to an end.
I hope that after Gu Xiwan and Ling Jue get the divorce certificate, they leave the city and never come back to disturb Ling Jue and Yiyi's life. That way, the secret will never surface...
