The two of them sat on the sofa and chose a movie to watch. After watching it, they went back to the room to sleep. Because she was not feeling well, Zhuo Yuan was very honest all night, just holding her to sleep and not doing anything else.
Shu Tinglan went to work at the law firm early the next day. The normalcy she showed at home last night fell apart after she separated from Zhuo Yu'an. As soon as she arrived at the garage of the law firm, Cheng Zhimin's voice call came as scheduled, her voice was serious and
Indifference, very simple words
: "When will the divorce be divorced?"
Shu Tinglan also replied indifferently: "I don't plan to divorce."
There was deathly silence on the phone, so quiet that Shu Tinglan thought she had hung up the voice call. But soon, Cheng Zhimin's sharp, even threatening voice came from the phone: "Shu Tinglan, I gave you a chance, don't blame me.
Heartless."
"Please."
She no longer wants to escape, she will face it head-on. In this world, except for her mother and Zhuo Yu'an, she has nothing to lose.
In fact, before returning home from get off work yesterday, she went back to the hospital and had a long conversation with her mother. It was the first time after her father's death that they discussed her father's past so calmly.
Mom asked: "Have you read your dad's letter?"
She said: "I've seen it."
"Although your father is a complete bastard, he still has some residual conscience. He didn't involve us, mother and daughter, in his messy affairs, so that we can live an upright life."
"Well, dad also said in the letter that his feelings for you have never changed from beginning to end." Shu Tinglan emphasized this sentence, hoping that her mother could feel relieved.
When Shu's mother heard this, her face seemed to be shocked, and then she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "It's not important anymore, Lan Lan, don't look at your mother who seems to be crazy in the past few years, but I can think more openly than you about the past relationship between your father and me.
It's meaningless to be buried with his death. I was so emotional when I saw his letter that day because he told you that he was not a good husband, but at least he was a good father."
Good dad? Maybe so! Shu Tinglan thought.
"Mom, do you know about the past grudges between Dad and the Zhuo family?" This was also the purpose of her visit to the hospital this time, to seek her mother's opinion.
"So what if you know? It has nothing to do with you. Lanlan, your father has harmed you for so many years. You can live how you want to live in the future. You must not be affected by your father again. He dares to influence you even after he is dead.
Regarding your future happiness, even if I die, I will go down and find him to theorize about it."
"Bah, bah, bah, what's wrong with death? Mom, you want to live a long life." Shu Tinglan couldn't bear to hear such unlucky words.
"Okay, is your mother-in-law threatening you with me? Let's do this, Lanlan, you help me get discharged from the hospital, and I will go home to live without giving her a chance to threaten you."
"Your body..."
"Mom is already well. Before, I just pretended to be sick because I didn't want to be discharged from the hospital. I don't want to be hospitalized anymore. I can't stand your mother-in-law coming to the hospital to see me every three days. The doctors and nurses here can't stop her at all. I'm going home to hide in peace.
"
"Thank you, Mom." Shu Tinglan arranged for her mother to be discharged from the hospital and returned to her house in the suburbs. Cheng Chen happened to be in the house in the suburbs, so they could take care of each other.
"Don't mention these things to Yu An. That's his mother. Don't make it difficult for him. Anyway, the most important thing is that you two live happily."
Shu Tinglan had arranged her mother's affairs well, so she had no worries about Cheng Zhimin's threats.
