Chapter 187 Divorce Successful, Pan Hong Leaves with Nothing
Chapter 187 Divorce Successful, Pan Hong Leaves with Nothing
This was the first time they had met since they parted ways in the delivery room that day.
It felt like a lifetime had passed, even though it had only been a short time.
These days, Pan Hong has been thinking about it repeatedly in the detention center.
He did feel inferior because he was a son-in-law who lived with his wife's family, but after thinking about it repeatedly, he realized that he was being really dramatic.
To put it bluntly, it's like wanting to be a prostitute while also wanting to abandon your virtuous ways.
Wanting everything? There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Moreover, after repeatedly reflecting on the past few years in the Fu family, I realized that my parents-in-law had actually treated me very well.
In terms of daily life, his mother-in-law remembers what he likes to eat and what he doesn't like to eat.
She would add clothes for him when he was cold and show him concern and care.
In his work, his father-in-law would help him connect with people and provide funding for his business ventures.
Even though he failed, his father-in-law didn't blame him. He even joked that Xiaoyi wasn't in business, so he could just be a freeloader with her, and they could afford to support her.
Those words weren't meant to belittle him; they showed the same affection for him as for Xiaoyi.
Such a family, such parents, are far better than his own parents, so how could they look down on him?
He ruined his perfectly good home.
During these days in the detention center, he repeatedly reviewed and thought about it, and he had long regretted it.
At first, he actually thought about apologizing to her family properly, even kneeling down and kowtowing in front of Fu Leyi, as long as he could get her forgiveness.
But later, he felt that a scoundrel like him was not good enough for her and did not deserve forgiveness.
If she wants a divorce, then he agrees.
Pan Hong had a thousand words he wanted to say to her silently, but he didn't utter a single word.
It wasn't until he had both divorce certificates that he finally mustered the courage to call her name.
"Xiaoyi, I'm so sorry."
Fu Leyi glanced at him in surprise, nodded calmly, picked up her divorce certificate, and turned to leave.
He didn't give her a second glance, nor did he turn around.
……
"My sister got divorced, and she already has the divorce certificate."
Lin Yuyao looked at Fu Huaiyi in surprise, "So fast? Didn't you say you were going to wait until Sister Leyi finished her postpartum confinement before getting a divorce?"
"Yes, that was the original plan, but I didn't expect Pan Yi to cause such a scene at my uncle's house, which made them so angry that they wanted to get a divorce on the spot."
"That can't be that fast, unless..." Lin Yuyao thought of something and asked in surprise, "Pan Hong agrees?"
Fu Huaiyi nodded. "They were also surprised that Pan Hong actually agreed."
"Has Pan Hong come out?"
"He's out. Seeing that he readily agreed to the divorce and didn't fight for the property or the children, my uncle decided to let him go and let him out early."
The marriage law at that time was different from that before; there was no concept of premarital property or personal property.
Even if they are only married for one day, all their personal property should be split equally.
In other words, if Pan Hong persists, he will have to take half of the bookstore.
He is the party at fault and doesn't support the children, so he can get a smaller share, but not by much.
He'll get at least a third of the house and the bookstore.
I heard that Fu Leyi owns more than just this bookstore and that house; she has quite a lot of assets.
From this perspective, Pan Hong has at least done something decent.
"When was he released?"
"Three days ago."
"Huh? Three days ago? I overheard them planning to rescue him and Wang yesterday." Lin Yuyao lowered her voice. "The people downstairs didn't know?"
"I don't know. Pan Hong's only condition was that his family not be told he had been released, and that they could stay in that house until after the New Year."
Lin Yuyao: “…”
This condition is quite intriguing.
It was quite pitiful that they had nowhere to stay, especially in the dead of winter.
Secondly, they were worried that if the Fu family went to take back the house, they would know that Pan Hong had been released.
"Is Pan Hong... still in Nancheng?"
Fu Huaiyi shook his head. "He left today. I checked his ticket; he went to Guangcheng in the south."
He didn't want the Pan family to know he had come out, and he secretly went to Guangcheng. What was he planning to do?
Who cares what he does? It's someone else's business in the end.
"My brother will be back tomorrow, and he'll leave first thing the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll take you to the train station."
……
Lin Ping had a half-day off, and after that, he went straight to the house Lin Yuyao rented.
"Sis, we're on holiday."
Lin Yuyao noticed that he had become much paler after being covered up for several months.
"It's good that you're on holiday. I was really worried that something might have happened and you'd be a day late. I've already bought the tickets. Let me tell you, those tickets were really hard to get. Your senior, Fu, accompanied me to queue for several hours."
"Huh?" Does he need to queue up to buy it?
"What are you standing there for? Put your things down now."
"Sigh." Lin Ping put his things down and then noticed that there were a lot of things piled up at home, and they were all packed up.
"Sister, do we have to take all these things back with us?"
"Yes, I bought New Year's goods and things for my parents."
"Good heavens, are you kidding me? It's so far away, why did you buy so much stuff? Can't we buy it when we get back?"
“Things are different in every place, so bringing them back from the south city has a different meaning.”
Lin Ping: "..." What nonsense! Goods are circulating now, it's not like before the opening up.
She'd already bought it, so he could only accept his fate.
"By the way, where am I sleeping tonight? Should I stay here with you, or are you sleeping downstairs?"
Uh……
Fu Huaiyi had suggested that Lin Ping sleep downstairs before, but she thought that the house belonged to Fu Leyi and felt that it was inappropriate for a strange young man to sleep in a girl's house, so she did not agree.
Now that she knows it's Fu Huaiyi's house, she naturally can't go there to sleep.
"I'll sleep here, you go downstairs."
"Huh? Didn't you say that the apartment downstairs belongs to his sister, and that it wouldn't be good for me to sleep there?"
Lin Yuyao recalled the story of that house, her lips twitched, and she said, "Your senior Fu bought that house, it's his now. He said you can come and squeeze in with him, and he'll take us to the train station tomorrow morning."
"I see. Okay then."
Just then, there was a knock on the door; it was Fu Huaiyi.
"Senior Fu, please come in and sit down."
Fu Huaiyi nodded, which was taken as agreement.
Lin Yuyao poked her head out from the kitchen and said, "Please sit down for a while, the food will be ready soon."
While Lin Yuyao was cooking, the two of them talked about school.
She always works very quickly, and the meal was ready in no time.
They needed to catch the early train tomorrow, so they had to leave early. After dinner, Lin Yuyao urged them to go to sleep after only a few words of conversation.
Only a minute or two after they left, there was another knock on the door.
She thought Lin Ping had forgotten something, so she opened the door without thinking too much about it.
Upon seeing the people standing outside, her expression quickly darkened.
“Yu Yao.” Lu Jiangting stood outside the door, his eyes and forehead covered with red blood vessels.
"I might have to apologize to you. I... I might have to marry Fang Qing."
