Mrs. Shen worriedly said, "If the money is refunded to him here, but they can’t remarry, wouldn’t that be a double loss?"
Mr. Shen glanced at his silent daughter and said indifferently, "It all depends on Lin’s own abilities. If she is capable, she can remarry even without refunding the money. If she is not, even if the money is refunded, the remarriage won’t happen."
Shen Lin glanced at Mr. Shen, reached out to snatch her phone from her mother’s hand, looked at it, then stood up coldly and walked out.
Leaving Mr. and Mrs. Shen looking at each other in confusion, unsure of what their daughter was thinking.
After leaving Fuman Building, Chen Feng called Wu ngting because he had drunk alcohol, asking her to co with Little Rui to drive.
While waiting for the car by the roadside, Chen Feng checked the ssages he hadn’t replied to earlier, sent by Lin Yujiao and Guo ngyao.
These two won who were still in Lu City basically sent him ssages every day, though he didn’t necessarily reply each ti.
This ti, Lin Yujiao sent him today’s business report as usual, showing sales over eight thousand. After deducting various costs, it seed today’s profit was two to three thousand. Clothing stores, especially won’s clothing stores, indeed make a lot of money if business is good.
Since he was idle anyway, Chen Feng responded with a ssage saying "Not bad, keep it up." Lin Yujiao almost imdiately replied with a giggling emoji.
Guo ngyao sent him two selfies taken in her office, beautified. Chen Feng glanced at them and couldn’t be bothered to respond.
He didn’t have many WeChat friends, and usually didn’t habitually check Monts. But since he was idle, he refreshed Monts and saw Zhang Yuxi’s update. It was a photo from her performance at a large mall, dressed stylishly, standing on stage with a microphone, looking radiant.
This was her private number, and she had only posted this photo, stating that she had a performance at a certain place today. There were over fifty likes and comnts below, seemingly indicating she had many good friends in real life.
Chen Feng browsed through the likes and comnts, which were all praises and inquiries about her upcoming schedule.
However, obviously Zhang Yuxi had no ti to reply to these comnts.
Realizing he hadn’t contacted her in days, he sent her a WeChat ssage: [When will you have ti to co to Xiu Zhou?]
After waiting for a while without a reply, Chen Feng didn’t mind, thinking she was busy.
Just as he was about to watch so short videos, a notification ca through.
[I’ll be going to Xiu Zhou to shoot an ad about a week later.]
Seeing this ssage, Chen Feng couldn’t help but feel delighted. He had to admit that Zhang Yuxi had the celebrity allure, was indeed a first-class beauty, with a great appearance, figure, and temperant, making spending ti with her very enjoyable.
And he didn’t need to bear any responsibilities; he just needed to invest money in her project and casually promote her when filming.
[Alright, let’s et then.]
Zhang Yuxi replied with a shy emoji.
Chen Feng chuckled and decided not to chat further with her. He turned to watch short videos.
After just a few minutes, the sound of footsteps ca, and looking up, he saw Shen Lin.
Chen Feng silently cursed his lack of foresight. He thought he was standing far enough from the Fuman Building entrance to be safe, but unexpectedly ran into her.
Shen Lin stood right in front of him, staring steadily without speaking, her occasionally flickering eyes indicating her inner turmoil.
Chen Feng felt uncomfortable under her gaze, and with a wry smile, he asked, "Is there sothing else?"
After taking a deep breath, Shen Lin said, "Thank you for the one million, but I can’t accept this money."
Chen Feng wasn’t too surprised, but calmly replied, "I gave you this money willingly, and even felt it might be too little. After all, you were with for five or six years, and I couldn’t give you a good life before. This money is mainly to compensate you for the past. Rejecting it makes uneasy."
"You’re pitying ." Shen Lin’s tone was sowhat harsh.
"From what you know about , am I pitying you?" Chen Feng retorted.
Shen Lin fell silent but continued to stare at him intensely.
Chen Feng felt a headache coming; he couldn’t just walk away, so he frowned and said, "Don’t do this. We’ve been divorced for more than half a year, what are you still hung up on?"
"I’m not over it." Shen Lin said with grievance, "I still don’t understand why you suddenly wanted to divorce . Yes, I was giving you the cold shoulder then, but it’s not just my problem; you were doing the sa. I occasionally thought about divorcing you, but I never initiated it, always giving you chances, hoping you’d rise again, strive, and work hard. Why did you suddenly ask for a divorce?"
Facing other won, Chen Feng could be suave and indifferent, but not with Shen Lin, his ex-wife, so he had a headache dealing with her: "If I said I found out I had a terminal illness, would you believe ?"
"...No." Shen Lin wasn’t dumb; she countered, "If you had a terminal illness then, it’s been over half a year, why do you seem fine? More energetic than normal people."
"...If I said my condition is under control now, would you believe it?"
"...I don’t know."
"Actually, telling you this doesn’t an much. Because after five or six years of being together, looking back now, although we loved each other, we did have many issues. Like you not liking to eat onions while I do, and for years, to accommodate your diet, we didn’t buy any onions at ho. Also, I never wring out towels dry enough, which you strongly disliked and often criticized for. I like to shower before bed, but you prefer morning showers, and so on.
In life, we have many discordant aspects, and most of the ti, I was accommodating you. Sotis it felt exhausting. Of course, you must have felt tired too. So, us splitting up, giving each other freedom and doing what we like, is actually a good thing."
"Discussing these trivial matters now, does it have any aning? If two people are deeply in love, these minor issues wouldn’t be issues."
"Yes, precisely because we weren’t deeply in love anymore, we found each other’s lifestyle annoying. When we were infatuated in the first two years, these minor issues didn’t seem like issues."
Shen Lin was instantly at a loss for words. What Chen Feng said was true; after their initial infatuation, they started living together, and these little life issues were sothing she could tolerate from Chen Feng. But in the year before their divorce, his lifestyle flaws, which she couldn’t tolerate, annoyed her greatly, leading to bouts of scolding him. Yet, Chen Feng never changed, further angering her.
As a result, they fell into a vicious cycle, where small problems and issues in life made them increasingly disgusted with each other.
