Chapter 351: Chapter 351: Try Moving Again
The memory abruptly stopped here. Song Song wanted to continue reminiscing but was already powerless...
She slowly opened her eyes and saw the woman in the video still teaching. It turned out she had children because she needed money for her mother’s urgent kidney transplant...
After that, Song Song spent several hours silently finishing the video. By the time she returned to the Xiao Family’s old house, it was already eight in the evening...
She returned to her room to place the DVD properly, then began packing her things.
Halfway through packing, there was a knock at the door. She said calmly, "Come in."
The door opened. The man stood there in pajamas, seeing the woman packing, his brow furrowed, "What are you doing?"
Hearing the voice, Song Song glanced at the door, her expression calm and unperturbed, "A week is up. I’ve decided to return to Hong Kong, leaving tonight."
After speaking, her hands slightly paused in folding her clothes, "Regarding the divorce, I’ll have a lawyer contact you. It’d be best if we can settle amicably, so it saves us both the hassle..."
Xiao Jinghuai looked at her with a calmness tinged with a bit of coldness, no longer seeing the former silly innocence. Her eyes didn’t evade his gaze, but looked directly without hesitation, as if the timidity had vanished within a few hours.
"... What happened?"
Song Song raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, "Nothing. I just feel... like I’ve grown up overnight."
She put on a large hoodie, donned a black baseball cap, then took out a mask covering most of her face, leaving only a pair of lively eyes shining outside...
Xiao Jinghuai found her current outfit a bit annoying, not looking like her at all.
He wanted to step forward and pull off her mask, throw away her hat, and strip off her dark clothes...
But she had already approached him first, looking up at him, "Because you hate me, detest me, you didn’t even bother to tell me about my mother’s critical condition?"
"Xiao Jinghuai, what did I ever like about you before? Did I just like you for that untouchable and aloof demeanor?"
"Ha! Maybe so!"
Song Song’s rhetorical question carried a hint of laughter, but more so self-mockery...
For such a slander, Xiao Jinghuai felt as if he was in a whirlpool. He suddenly raised his hand to rip off the mask on her face, gripping her shoulders, "I didn’t know about your mother’s critical condition!"
"Really?"
Song Song sneered, "It doesn’t matter anymore, whether intentional or unintentional, it doesn’t matter to me now."
"Sorry, I’m in a hurry, please step aside!"
Xiao Jinghuai never expected her to have such a cold side. Instead of letting go, he tightened his grip...
With one hand, he pulled her into his embrace, "Listen, divorce is out of the question!"
"Xiao Jinghuai, let go of me! Whether you agree or not, I will divorce—"
"..."
The woman’s struggle to the man was like a tickle. He rather enjoyed it and asked, "Reason?"
By this time, Song Song’s face was already flushed, her jade-like cheeks blushing, "The reason is for that cooperation plan. As soon as we divorce, I can get it. Don’t you want that cooperation plan?"
With those words, she suddenly felt herself lifted into the air as the man threw her onto the bed...
She was so frightened she immediately scrambled up but was quickly pressed back down again.
"Xiao Jinghuai, what exactly are you trying to do!"
Song Song glared at him angrily.
The man looked into those eyes, flames constantly jumping within, his lips slightly curling, "Try moving around again and see if I won’t take you right now!"
