Chapter 34: Huo Qingyan’s Sorrow and Joy, No Longer His Concern
After receiving Jiang Su’s affirmative answer, Jiang Zhaoyu put the wine glass he was about to drink back on the table.
Seeing this, Jiang Su said, “I’ll get a glass, let’s drink together.”
Jiang Zhaoyu stopped him: “No need, I don’t want to drink anymore.”
Jiang Su: ??
Didn’t he just say he wanted to drink, and even complained online?
Suddenly he’s fine?
Jiang Zhaoyu stood up and patted his shoulder: “Get some sleep.”
After taking a few steps, Jiang Zhaoyu turned back to look at him: “Do you want me to accompany you when you handle the paperwork?”
“No need,” He’s not a child anymore.
“Okay.” Jiang Zhaoyu turned around, a smile gradually appearing on his calm face.
It seems that this time, his silly younger brother has truly given up, determined to get a divorce.
…
The next day…
Jiang Zhaoyu had drunk the previous night, so he got up a little late the next morning.
Jiang Su was sitting on the sofa playing with his phone. Hearing Jiang Zhaoyu coming out of the bedroom, he turned his head to look.
“Brother, I made you hangover soup in the kitchen, it’s still hot, drink it while it’s hot.”
Jiang Zhaoyu nodded and went into the kitchen.
Soon, he came out with the hangover soup: “It’s quite delicious.”
Although he was praising Jiang Su’s cooking skills, his expression wasn’t very happy.
His brother, who never touched a cooking utensil, specifically learned to make hangover soup for a man; even a brother wouldn’t be happy about that.
“I’ll make it for you again when I have time.” Whenever Huo Qingyan had business engagements, he would inevitably drink, and then Jiang Su would try different hangover soup recipes.
Jiang Zhaoyu just smiled.
After Jiang Zhaoyu finished the hangover soup and had breakfast, Jiang Su said to him: “Brother, I’ll go back to my apartment today.”
When Jiang Su was still studying at film school, he had countless invitations.
He earned his first money and bought small gifts for his brothers, sisters, and elders.
He saved the money he earned later and bought an apartment in the same residential area as Jiang Lichuan.
He hadn’t had time to move in after the apartment was renovated when he was proposed to by Huo Qingyan and moved directly into Huo Qingyan’s house.
Jiang Zhaoyu originally wanted him to continue living at his own home, but on second thought, he felt that Jiang Su might prefer to be alone.
“Is everything packed over there?”
“I have all my things, I just need to do some cleaning.”
“Then I’ll call two maids from the old house to help you clean.” Jiang Zhaoyu said, taking out his phone to make a call.
Jiang Su shook his head: “I want to do it myself.”
Jiang Zhaoyu ultimately complied with Jiang Su’s wishes.
…
The apartment hadn’t been lived in for two years, and there was a lot of dust.
Jiang Su cleaned the bedroom first.
The apartment wasn’t very big, but it still took some time to thoroughly clean it.
Over the next few days, Jiang Su was busy cleaning the apartment and adding some daily necessities.
Time passed especially quickly when he was busy.
Soon it was the seventh day of the lunar new year.
Jiang Su arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau at exactly eight o’clock.
As soon as his car stopped, he saw a familiar Maybach parked in front of his car.
Huo Qingyan was on time.
They both got out of the car almost at the same time, closed their car doors at the same time, and walked to the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau at the same time.
As they walked side-by-side, Jiang Su turned to look at Huo Qingyan.
He noticed that Huo Qingyan had dark circles under his eyes and habitually asked, “Didn’t sleep well?”
Huo Qingyan didn’t answer, but just looked at him deeply.
He knew that Jiang Su couldn’t let him go.
He deliberately slowed his pace, waiting for Jiang Su to regret it.
For Jiang Su’s sake, considering how much he loved him, he was willing to make an exception and give Jiang Su another chance.
Jiang Su only felt that Huo Qingyan was inexplicable.
Did he ask something terrible? Why did Huo Qingyan have such a profound expression?
Jiang Su quickened his pace towards the counter.
It looked like he was eager to divorce Huo Qingyan.
During the subsequent procedures, Jiang Su didn’t say another word to Huo Qingyan.
Until the divorce certificate was in hand, and the two walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau together, Huo Qingyan still hadn’t reacted.
Was Jiang Su really going to divorce him?
He turned to look at Jiang Su standing beside him, but saw Jiang Su looking at the divorce certificate in his hand with a relieved expression.
At this time, Jiang Su turned to look at him, a relaxed smile on his face: “Mr. Huo, goodbye.”
He originally thought he would be very sad.
But now he found that he felt more relieved.
After saying this, Jiang Su turned around and walked briskly towards his car.
After getting into the car, he saw Huo Qingyan still standing at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau watching him through the rearview mirror.
Jiang Su looked at Huo Qingyan in the rearview mirror with interest.
Still that handsome and indifferent face, with an expression hard to read.
But now, what does Huo Qingyan’s sorrow or joy have to do with him?
They were divorced.
Huo Qingyan’s sorrow and joy had nothing to do with him from now on.
Jiang Su stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Huo Qingyan stood there, watching Jiang Su’s car speeding away like an arrow.
The moment Jiang Su’s car disappeared from sight, a groundless feeling of panic overwhelmed Huo Qingyan.
He knew that Jiang Su would drive anywhere, but he would definitely not go back to the villa where they had lived together.
As if finally coming to his senses, Huo Qingyan took out his phone and started to call Jiang Su.
He wanted to ask Jiang Su clearly why he suddenly wanted a divorce.
And why it was so decisive.
Jiang Su sped all the way.
Although he hadn’t decided where to go yet, he knew he could go anywhere.
Until the phone beside him rang.
Huo Qingyan’s number flashed on the screen.
Jiang Su unhesitatingly hung up.
In the end, he bought a bouquet of flowers and drove to the cemetery.
Jiang Su put down the flowers, a smile on his lips, but his eyes were full of sadness.
“Grandma, I’m here to see you.”
Then, he took out the divorce certificate.
“Grandma, Huo Qingyan and I are divorced.”
“I know, you didn’t persuade me to divorce like my brothers and sisters, because you didn’t want me to feel that my love had no blessings.”
“Actually, you also hoped that I would get divorced…”
“Don’t worry, I will eat well, sleep well, do what I want to do, and be happy…”
Jiang Su stayed at the cemetery for a long time before leaving.
On the way back, he called Jiang Zhaoyu and Jiang Lichuan.
Jiang Zhaoyu knew about his divorce and asked when he answered the phone: “Is it done?”
Jiang Su: “Yes, let’s have lunch together, Big Brother.”
Jiang Zhaoyu: “Okay, I’ve already reserved a place at the Qingyang Hotel.”
Jiang Su: “…”
“I’ve already informed Lichuan and Yingying, but I haven’t told them about your divorce yet. Tell them when you get there.” Jiang Zhaoyu had already made all the arrangements.
When Jiang Su arrived at the Qingyang Hotel, he realized that Jiang Zhaoyu had booked the most expensive and largest private room in the entire hotel.
He also ordered a large table of the most expensive dishes in the hotel.
This… probably cost nearly seven figures.
This… is it a bit exaggerated?
