Forget it. He was the one who had broken his promises to her. He would just let her vent her temper. Once she had finished venting her anger, as long as she was willing to find a job to support the family, this was no big deal to him. f𝚛𝒆𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝒏o𝘃𝒆Ɩ - 🅽🅽novel
Fang Shiyou walked in through the door full of confidence beside his 'true love'. But when he saw his 'true love' pull out the required documents for a divorce one by one, Fang Shiyou's expression changed drastically. This was not just threatening him so as not to go to work. This was clearly trying to get a divorce from him!
In short, when Mother Fang saw her son again, Fang Shiyou was holding a divorce certificate in his hands. Her son was weak and listless, as though he was a blade of grass that had been dried up by the summer heat in June."Shiyou, what's wrong with you? What's this?"
She recognized the words carved on it when they were apart. But now that they were put together, she did not understand what it meant.
"What's this?" Fang Shiyou laughed bitterly."What else could it be? It's a certificate of divorce. She had long taken with her all the documents required for a divorce. She really wanted to get a divorce from me. She even took our son away." It was true. She had taken only their son. She had not taken a single thing in their house.
Fang Shiyou could not understand how he could have gotten divorced twice in a short span of two years. Why did every woman appear so unhesitant and nonchalant when getting a divorce from him? It was as though they were breaking away from a sea of suffering by getting a divorce from him.
Was he that bad?
"Is your wife crazy? Where can she go with a child after getting divorced from you? She won't even be able to find somewhere to stay today, right? Is she planning to starve to death on the streets with my grandson? No way! I'm not going to let her do that! Hurry and get her back for me. If she wants to leave, I won't stand in the way. But my grandson has to follow us!" If it was not for a grandson, would the Fang family be willing to lose such a good daughter-in-law like Xu Shengnan?
If even her grandson was taken away, they would have worked so hard for nothing! They would have neither her grandson nor her good daughter-in-law!
At the thought of facing a double loss in her family, Mother Fang was on the verge of going crazy."Hurry! Where's she? Bring her back! Remember. The most important thing is to bring my grandson home! That woman is no good person either! It's probably better that she left. Now, you can get remarried to Xu Shengnan without any other considerations. Tell Xu Shengnan that you find her better than that woman after getting together with her and that you got divorced from that woman just to get her back."
Now that Mother Fang said those words, she suddenly realized that bad situations could be turned into good ones too."That's right. That's what you should do. Then, I'll not only have my grandson but Xu Shengnan will also return to your side. With Xu Shengnan around, we'll be able to live a good life like we did in the past."
It could be said that that woman's departure meant a new beginning for the Fang family!
Mother Fang's idea was great. She thought about the consecutive blows her son had been dealt with. Even a woman like his 'true love' who relied on men for their survival could be so decisive and resolute in getting a divorce without a moment of hesitation. Would a woman like Xu Shengnan, who was even stronger than a man, care for him? Would Xu Shengnan rejoice and be willing to reconcile with him just because he wanted to?
Initially, Fang Shiyou knew his own limits at the very least and decided to press on without approaching Xu Shengnan for the fear of being embarrassed if he were to be rejected by Xu Shengnan. But after such a long time, nothing was important anymore. Not even his own dignity. What mattered was reality.
After having toiled for a few years, Fang Shiyou did not care if Xu Shengnan would reject him or whether he still had a place in Xu Shengnan's heart. He knew that he had to win Xu Shengnan back and get remarried to her in order to lead a better life.
Otherwise... There was no otherwise. He could accept a future without Xu Shengnan. Such a future was too dark. He would lose all confidence to live.
In the few years following his divorce from Xu Shengnan, he had had a hard time. If he had to receive retribution for cheating on Xu Shengnan and having an affair, this should make up for it, right?
Moreover, they were still a family after all. Couples always eventually made up after their fights. At their age, what could be better than living together harmoniously?
Fang Shiyou felt that Xu Shengnan would definitely not reject his request to reconcile with her. After the couple had split, he had remarried, but Xu Shengnan had not. Perhaps, Xu Shengnan was planning on reconciling with him too?
As a man, he had ruined his complete family with a single mistake. Since they both meant to reconcile, he did not mind taking the first step. He would just take it as though he was saving Xu Shengnan's dignity and would take the initiative to ask for reconciliation.
What Fang Shiyou had not expected was that Xu Shengnan, who had remained unmarried, expressed her disbelief the moment Fang Shiyou said that he wanted to reconcile. Then, she unexpectedly rejected him."Fang Shiyou, we've been divorced for so many years. We can't even be friends now. Do you think reconciliation is possible? Are you joking around with me? What will happen to your son's mother if you remarry me?"
At that time, Xu Shengnan was still in the dark about Fang Shiyou's situation. She did not know that Fang Shiyou had gotten divorced barely a year after getting married to his 'true love'. Moreover, his son had even been taken away by his 'true love'! Even so, she did not think that there was any future with Fang Shiyou."All right. It's not April Fool's Day today. There's no meaning in you making such a joke. If you're here to see Ling Ling, I won't stop you. But I don't have anything to say to you."
Xu Shengnan was already bothered by the fact that someone was chasing her at her age. The problem was that the man knew that she had gone through a divorce. Without his help, it would not have been so easy for her to get divorced from Fang Shiyou and prevent Fang Shiyou from taking advantage of her. He knew clearly about her past, so she could not understand why he was still willing to chase a woman like her. Besides, he had been doing so for two years!
The other party had spent two years chasing her. In these two years, he had never once wavered, nor changed his mind because of the appearance of young ladies around him. Xu Shengnan was not a man after all, and neither did she have an iron-clad heart. So of course, Xu Shengnan was not entirely unmoved by this situation.
Because of this matter, Xu Shengnan was already troubled enough. But who would have expected Fang Shiyou to come up to her and make such a ludicrous suggestion today? Xu Shengnan even doubted herself and wondered if she had developed hearing problems.
