When Xia Ranran saw me, she first felt guilty, then regained her composure. She accused me of being cruel to the child, calling me malicious.
Xie Zhong chimed in, saying it was his child and that he was at fault, not the child. I looked at them and found it amusing.
"Xie Zhong, you’re overthinking this," I said. "I said I would help you; I meant nothing else."
"I just want a divorce."
"This way, that child can have a complete family."
"Weren't you always wanting to be with Xia Ranran openly?"
"I’m helping you now, so why are you suddenly unwilling?"
I stared at Xie Zhong, my gaze filled with disdain. A man like him wasn’t worth my continued effort.
Xie Zhong looked at me, silent for a long time before finally sighing.
"Fine."
"Since you've made your decision, there's nothing more to say."
"Let’s go to the civil affairs bureau."
"Coincidentally, Ranran is there today; we can finalize the divorce."
"This way, you can help us."
Xie Zhong's tone carried a hint of sarcasm, clearly blaming me. I smiled and ignored him.
This is better. The sooner I get divorced, the sooner I can be free from him.
I, Sun Meng, no longer want to live a life of betrayal!
Xia Ranran urged from the side, "Then let’s hurry up."
"Let’s get the certificate as soon as possible so we can feel at ease."
"Better to avoid any long nights filled with dreams."
Her words were clearly directed at me.
I smiled faintly and turned to leave.
Xie Zhong and Xia Ranran followed behind and got into the car.
Lizi also joined us.
At the Civil Affairs Bureau,
when it was time to sign, Xie Zhong hesitated a bit.
I, on the other hand, picked up the pen and wrote my name without hesitation.
Xie Zhong looked at me, as if he wanted to say something.
I ignored his gaze, put down the pen, and stood up to leave.
Xie Zhong quickly signed his name and chased after me.
"Sun Meng, congratulations on regaining your freedom."
"I congratulate you on winning the heart of a beautiful woman."
"I hope you won't regret it."
With that, I left without looking back.
Lizi comforted me from the side.
" Meng, why were you in such a hurry to sign?"
"He should have left with nothing!"
"After all these years of struggling together, enduring so much hardship, just when life was finally getting better, he went out and found another woman."
"Such a scoundrel deserves to have nothing!"
"You really let him off too easily!"
I smiled but said nothing.
In truth, I wished for Xie Zhong to leave with nothing too.
I just didn't want to be entangled with him any longer.
Since I had already decided to divorce, I wanted to end this relationship quickly and find some peace for myself.
On the night of the divorce, I dragged Lizi out for drinks.
After a few rounds of drinks, I felt a bit tipsy.
“Lizi, do you think I'm foolish?”
“For the past few years, I've been by Xie Zhong's side, helping him start his business and meeting clients with him.”
“I poured all my thoughts and feelings into him.”
“But what was the result?”
“The result is that he went out and found another woman.”
“I even foolishly had children for him; I was so naive!”
“If I had known it would turn out this way, I shouldn't have gotten together with him in the first place!”
“I wasted these years for nothing!”
As I spoke, I began to cry.
Tears mixed with alcohol were filling my stomach.
Lizi comforted me from the side.
“Alright, alright, Meng, don’t be sad.”
“That kind of dog of a man isn’t worth it.”
“Look around; there are so many single men and women here. There must be one who belongs to you.”
“Just think of these years as feeding a dog; let go of the past and start anew.”
“You're still young and have opportunities ahead.”
“When you meet someone who truly loves you, you'll realize that this world is still a beautiful place.”
Lizi's words made me smile through my tears.
Yes.
That kind of dog of a man isn’t worth it.
I should let go of the past and start over.
I, Sun Meng, deserve my own happiness.
I wiped my tears, raised my glass, and was about to clink it with Lizi's.
Just then, a young and handsome man appeared in front of me.
“Miss Sun, long time no see.”
“Do you remember me?”
"I am one of your company's major clients."
The man smiled as he extended his hand to me, a faint smile in his eyes.
I was slightly taken aback.
This person seemed familiar, but I couldn't recall where I had seen him.
The man seemed to notice my embarrassment and smiled as he reminded me,
"During your company's meeting before, Miss Sun went to deliver soup to Mr. Xie, and I happened to be there."
"I have seen Miss Sun, so I remember."
"Miss Sun may not remember me, but I certainly remember her."
"I think a woman as virtuous as Miss Sun is quite rare."
"If I get married in the future, I hope to find a wife like Miss Sun."
His words made me feel a bit shy.
At the same time, I recalled who he was.
He was a major client of our company; indeed, I had delivered soup to Xie Zhong during that meeting.
However, at that time, Xie Zhong had intentionally coaxed me into doing it to win over this major client.
He said this client preferred those with happy families, and if I appeared more virtuous, it might help him secure the deal.
For Xie Zhong's career, I went along with it.
But now it seemed that Xie Zhong had likely fabricated that story just to use me.
I smirked sarcastically, picked up the wine glass on the table, and downed it in one go.
Seeing this, the man followed suit and drank a glass as well.
"Miss Sun seems to be in a bad mood?"
"How about I keep you company for a few drinks?"
"Just right, I'm alone today too."
As he spoke, he unexpectedly sat down right across from me.
Lizi beside me discreetly pinched me and gave me a knowing look before finding an excuse to leave.
