"Say it again." After these five words, the ward became silent for an instant.
Yu Shaoting looked at her, looking at her aura, as if if she said something inappropriate, he would lift the quilt and come over to teach her a lesson.
The little bit of blood in Bai Xiao's heart was also aroused, and he said unyieldingly: "Your second brother is stable and good-looking, and he has a high military rank..."
Later, she felt that it was not interesting and stopped talking.
Yu Shaoting stared at her intently and said firmly: "Why are you arguing with me when you have nothing to do?"
Bai Xiao turned away.
Yu Shaoting wanted to say something else, but his cell phone rang at an inappropriate time.
"The documents are in the third box on the left... You ask Lin Qian to contact Lawyer Shen... um..."
Bai Xiao didn't want to go over and pack the lunch boxes on the cabinet, and was about to leave when he was on the phone.
As soon as she picked up the bag, Yu Shaoting looked over, "Where are you going?" This question was definitely not addressed to the person on the other end of the phone.
The other end of the phone suddenly became silent.
Yu Shaoting held the mobile phone and glanced at the bag in her hand. He frowned and said coldly: "I'm asking you."
"……go home."
Yu Shaoting's expression softened a lot, he averted his eyes and continued to answer the phone, only occasionally glancing at her from the corner of his eyes.
As soon as Bai Xiao walked out of the inpatient department, her cell phone rang.
"What else?"
"Come back tomorrow morning."
She clutched her phone and said, "I'm not free." She hung up the phone.
Bai Xiao hailed a taxi. When she got in the car, another call came in on her cell phone. She took one look and cut it off.
After a while, a text message came in: "Try hanging up the phone again."
When the bell rang again, Bai Xiao pinched it off, turned off the phone, and threw it back into her bag without even thinking.
Until she got off the car, Bai Xiao was in a good mood, feeling as if she had become a serf and became the master.
There was a slight curve on her lips, but when she raised her head, she saw Pei Qiyou.
————————
When Ling Ling said those words with a half-smile, Pei Qiyou could not help but get angry, as if a fire was burning in his chest. But what settled after the anger was indescribable confusion, as if he had walked into He couldn't find an exit from the Arctic ice sheet, and his forehead ached with pain from the cold.
That feeling of loss became more and more obvious as he drove under the neon lights.
The sudden burst of fireworks in the night sky made him wake up as if from a dream. The steering wheel was interrupted and the car almost hit the railing of the bridge across the river.
He remembered that Bai Xiao's birthday was at the end of the year. In the past, whenever the Pei family was busy celebrating the New Year, they would never forget to prepare a birthday gift for her.
After she came to Pei's house, her grandfather would buy twice the amount of fireworks when he was buying them. His favorite thing to do when he was a child was to light fairy sticks and pretend to set fire to her pigtails, and then look at her with a smile. I was so frightened that I hid in my room, rubbing my red eyes and crying, but I didn't dare to tell the adults.
There was still the divorce agreement on the passenger seat.
He made a turn at the intersection, and before driving to the capital of Star Language, he first went to the only Harry Winston store in Fengcheng.
The counter was filled with various necklaces, rings and bracelets, all of which were gemstones. The colorful luster made Pei Qiyou's eyes sore and hurt, but he didn't even blink, denying one style after another, and then asked the shopping guide. The clerk took out another pair of more expensive earrings.
Bai Xiao has been fond of gemstone jewelry since he was a child. This is a little secret he discovered accidentally.
Pei Qiyou didn't say a word, but when he left, he took away the most expensive emerald jewelry in the counter, including necklaces, earrings, and rings.
————————
Bai Xiao could more or less guess the reason why Pei Qiyou appeared in front of him again.
——Not to win her back like he did several times before, but on the contrary, he should be here to deliver the divorce agreement to her.
When she came out of Yu Shaoting's ward and passed the nurse's station just now, she heard them say that the young lady in ward 7332 had been proposed to. It was a very romantic scene. The male protagonist was kneeling at the heroine's feet with a ring. The young nurses envied her.
The description becomes more and more colorful.
Bai Xiao didn't look back when she went upstairs, but the footsteps behind her told her that Pei Qiyou had also gone upstairs.
Ye Hehuan hasn't come back yet.
When Bai Xiao entered the apartment and wanted to close the door, Pei Qiyou held the door with one hand, "Xiao Xiao, I have something to tell you."
This was their first opening sentence since they met tonight.
Bai Xiao stood by the door, looking at him standing at the door, his indifferent eyes as if looking at an insignificant stranger.
Pei Qiyou's right hand was holding the bag, and the palm of his hand was sweating. He didn't know why he was sweating. Then he saw Bai Xiao let go of her hand. She changed her shoes and went in. He stood outside the door for a while.
Then I took off my shoes and entered the house barefoot.
Bai Xiao sat on the sofa, as if she didn't see him coming in, poured herself a glass of boiled water, and drank it slowly.
Pei Qiyou's heart seemed to be squeezed hard by an invisible hand.
But he still sat down, then took out an exquisite jewelry box from the bag, gently pushed it in front of Bai Xiao, "Happy birthday."
Bai Xiao stopped drinking water, lowered his eyelashes, and looked at the box.
"This is Harry Winston's latest gemstone jewelry. It happens to be your favorite emerald. Open it and take a look."
Bai Xiao didn't move. She looked away from the box and looked at him, finding a thin layer of sweat on his forehead: "Did you bring the divorce agreement?"
It was obvious that he came to the door with the divorce agreement, but in the end, she spoke straightforwardly.
"There's no pen in the living room, I'll go back to the room to get it." Bai Xiao said and was about to get up, but was pulled back to the sofa by a sideways hand.
She looked up, but Pei Qiyou didn't look at her. He took out a high-speed rail ticket from his trouser pocket and put it on the coffee table.
Bai Xiao looked down and saw her name and ID number on the ticket. The date was 8:05 the day after tomorrow.
"All the tickets have been sold out in the past few days. Only the morning and midnight tickets are available. It takes at least an hour and a half to get to the high-speed rail station from here. It's cold now and I may not be able to get up. I have asked Secretary Zhang to book it at the hotel next door.
Room, you can come and stay tomorrow afternoon."
Bai Xiao stared at the ticket and said nothing.
"I have almost settled the matter at the Hengzhou Coal Mine. The police should not make things difficult for you anymore. As for the kidnappers, I will find a way to keep them in there longer. You don't have to worry that they will trouble you again.
"
The atmosphere in the living room was too dull. Pei Qiyou suddenly became quiet while he was talking. His throat was very dry. He always felt that he had forgotten something important and hadn't explained it. But the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't remember anything. His temples bulged.
He was jumping to the ground, the pain was so painful that he felt like his head would explode.
When he thought he had nothing to say, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he felt relieved because he thought of something: "I have contacted the best cardiac surgeon in Liyang. If grandma feels uncomfortable in the future, you can
Take grandma to find him, this is his business card."
He was a little hasty in taking the business card, so he took out his own for the first time and searched through the pockets of his suit and trousers before finding the business card.
"You don't have to worry about treatment and medical expenses. I will take care of these. There shouldn't be any big problems again."
Bai Xiao didn't answer him, just like an old monk in trance, listening to him motionless.
Pei Qiyou took out the divorce agreement from the bag at his feet.
"I have already signed it. Take a look at it. If you feel you are not satisfied with the conditions, you can ask your lawyer to change it again."
He still felt empty in his heart. He thought he should do something more. Then he took out his checkbook and signature pen. His slender body leaned slightly, and he wrote down five million without hesitation, and pressed the check with his fingers.
Passed it over: "If it's not enough, tell me later..."
When Bai Xiao picked up the jewelry box on the coffee table and threw it at him, Pei Qiyou didn't hide, or even blinked. He owed it to Bai Xiao, and he deserved to be hit like this. The edge of the jewelry box hit him.
The skin on his forehead was broken, and blood quickly oozed out, staining the tips of his eyebrows red.
Looking at the blood stain on his right cheek that slid from his forehead to his chin, Bai Xiao's eyes were also red. She had used almost all her strength in that attack just now, as if to vent her anger. For a moment, she wished she could just smash him to death.
, after he said these extremely shameless words to her.
There seemed to be something flickering in Pei Qiyou's eyes, but when he looked at Bai Xiao, he had already regained his composure, and there was a sarcastic smile on his lips.
"Otherwise? I will get married soon. There is no benefit to you staying here. I have made arrangements for Liyang and your relatives are there. Wouldn't it be better to go back there? Why do you have to stay here? Fengcheng doesn't have it.
Your position, leaving, is the best outcome for you."
"Secretary Zhang will take you to the hotel tomorrow and spend the night with you there. After signing the divorce agreement, you can hand it to her."
Bai Xiao looked at the tickets and checks on the coffee table: "Pei Qiyou, people like you will never understand what I paid to love you."
Pei Qiyou's throat twitched, and his clenched fists tightened, "Then don't ever let me understand."
After saying that, he got up from the sofa, turned around and walked towards the door without even looking at the jewelry scattered on the ground.
Bai Xiao looked up and looked at his back as he put on his shoes and went out. He heard the sound of the door slamming heavily in his ears, and the echo lingered in the silent apartment for a long time.
There was only a dim hole light on in the living room, and Bai Xiao sat on the sofa holding her legs.
You think you have seen through some people, but in the end you realize you don't understand them at all, and you can't help but sigh that people can be so cruel.
As the end of the year approaches, the whole city seems to have entered a sleepless night, with fireworks blooming in the sky from time to time.
Bai Xiao turned her head and looked out the window. Her pupils were filled with colorful fireworks, which gradually became moist with water.
————————
Bai Xiao was also woken up by the sound of fireworks exploding in the morning.
When she opened her eyes, she realized that she had fallen asleep on the sofa last night, but there was an extra quilt on her body, which He Huan should have covered her with.
The divorce agreement, high-speed rail tickets and checks on the coffee table, as well as the jewelry and boxes at the foot of the coffee table reminded her of everything that happened last night.
She didn't know how long she sat quietly after Pei Qiyou left. It was so long that she fell asleep without knowing it, and she didn't even know He Huan came back.
Bai Xiao felt her eyes were sore and uncomfortable, as if sand had entered her eyes. When she stood up, she felt lightheaded and dizzy. When she sat back on the sofa, she took out her bag and took out her mobile phone. When she turned it on, there were three missed calls.
, one is Yu Shaoting, one is Yu Jingxi, and the other is grandma’s.
She suddenly remembered what Pei Qiyou said last night. He said that her relatives were in Liyang, but there were no relatives of hers in Fengcheng, and there was no place for her to live.
Bai Xiao called her grandmother.
As soon as the call was picked up, Bai Xiao noticed that her grandmother's voice was strange, "Grandma, are you feeling unwell?"
"It's nothing, cough cough, just a little cold, it's not a problem, it will be fine in two days, cough cough!"
Bai Xiao held the phone tightly, feeling that her nose was blocked and her breathing became difficult.
"How are you and Qiyou doing? It will be New Year's Eve in a few days. Your mother-in-law is old. You can do a lot of things if you can, and don't burden her."
"...Grandma, I'm divorced."
The other end of the phone suddenly became quiet. After a long time, grandma's caring voice came: "Then come back for the New Year. Don't you like eating eight-treasure glutinous rice? I asked your uncle Zhang to make a few more bowls for you. You can do it when you get there.
Eat it steamed."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Xiao opened the divorce agreement and signed her name on the last page before going to wash up.
She brought an end to this twenty-year relationship.
Bai Xiao tore up the high-speed rail ticket and threw it into the trash can. As for the check and jewelry, she kept them all. She was not so noble as to return them all to Pei Qiyou. Having experienced the harshness of the world, she knew better than anyone how long it would be to live without money.
It was hard to endure, and just like Pei Qiyou said, this was what he gave back to her.

I was delayed from attending the birthday party today, so I can only write 4,000 words, so I’ll stuff it between my teeth [poor, pitiful]
