Shu Tinglan remembered that when they got divorced, he was quite generous and gave her this mansion worth hundreds of millions as a gift.
"This house belongs to you and has nothing to do with me," she said.
"It's in your name." Zhuo Yuan was very serious this time.
He repeatedly emphasized that the house was in her name? Did he want to take it back and she needed her cooperation to sign? Shu Tinglan instantly understood what he meant and answered one by one.
: "When will Mr. Zhuo be free? I will cooperate with you at any time to transfer the property to the Housing Authority." It's not hers, and she didn't want it in the first place.
Zhuo Yuan smiled
: "Tinglan, is this the image of my ex-husband in your mind? Is there a reason why you should get back the things you gave away?"
He called himself his ex-husband, but Shu Tinglan felt a little uncomfortable and had nothing to say for a while.
Seeing this, Zhuo Yuan became interested in continuing.
: "I'm not like some people who want to take back something worth hundreds of dollars." He was referring to the Hetian jade pendant in his car.
Doesn't this mean who else can she talk about? She felt angry rising in her heart, but she couldn't refute, so she had to change the subject.
: “Where are my mother’s things?”
Zhuo Yu'an didn't dare to tease her anymore and opened the box in his hand. Inside was a watch.
"This is a gift my mother gave me when we got married. I haven't been willing to take it with me, so now I give it to you."
Because her mother passed away, he took out the watch and gave it to her as a thought.
Shu Tinglan's eyes were filled with tears as soon as she saw the watch. She had the impression that her mother had bought it a long time ago and said she would give it to her future son-in-law. She didn't know when she gave it to Zhuo Yu'an.
"Thank you." Shu Tinglan took the watch and thanked him sincerely this time. Her mother left very few things, so this watch is extremely precious.
Zhuo Yu'an nodded
: "Let's go after eating."
Shu Tinglan looked up at him and saw that his expression was dull, but his invitation was sincere. For the sake of the watch, she agreed.
Zhuo Yu'an didn't greet her anymore, and turned to the kitchen to heat up the cold meals. These dishes had already been prepared when he picked her up at the hotel.
The kitchen is open, and you can see him busy in front of the island at a glance. Just like many years ago, Shu Tinglan turned his face away. He was a little confused about his behavior tonight. He was someone who should be avoided. Why?
Are you just sitting here?
Probably because Zhuo Yuan's eyes were too calm when he looked at her, and he really regarded her as a friend, which made her relax her vigilance.
Zhuo Yu'an had brought three dishes and one soup over, and while serving the soup for her, he said
: "I haven't cooked for many years, do you think the taste is still the same?"
Very natural words and actions.
Shu Tinglan was a little tasteless. The two of them should not have any interactions with each other anymore. She took a few bites and then stood up.
: "Thank you for returning my mother's watch to me."
She was also polite and polite, and only asked not to see each other again after today.
Zhuo Yuan did not stand up, but said quietly behind her
: "Tinglan, even though we have divorced, we are still friends."
"And I'm sorry, I wasn't with you when mom passed away."
He tried his best to restrain all his emotions and said these two sentences in a calm manner to explain the facts. He did not want to give her any sense of emotional oppression. He had missed three years and did not care about waiting for another three years.
However, he was too calm, so calm that Shu Tinglan thought he was hypocritical.
So there is no such thing as empathy in this world. If he knew how she had survived these past few years, he would not just say sorry and be done with it.
But this was good, at least she didn't have to have anything to do with him anymore. She could go home without worrying about him coming to snatch her child away from her.
