She Lost Memory Before the Divorce Chapter 280

Chapter 280: Chapter 0280: Help Me Find a Lawyer, I Want a Divorce Chapter 280: Chapter 0280: Help Me Find a Lawyer, I Want a Divorce It was Gu Xiaoman, a simple and straightforward sentence, yet it scared Mu Lan so much that she couldn't move.

“Help me find a reliable lawyer, I want a divorce.”

Huo Tingxiao was close enough to hear the sentence clearly.

Compared to Mu Lan, Huo Tingxiao wasn't too surprised, hmm, that's very Gu Xiaoman, he knew, it would probably come to this result.

Mu Lan was stunned for a while before she spoke.

“Xiaoman, have you thought this through?”

Gu Xiaoman's tone was light.

“Of course, I have thought it through. What's there to think about? I gave Shen Zichu a chance, and he made his choice.”

Mu Lan frowned and instinctively looked at Huo Tingxiao with a very clear message in her eyes–what the hell did Shen Zichu do this time?

Huo Tingxiao felt very innocent, his eyes pleading for mercy, begging not to be dragged into the mess, to avoid getting burned by association.

“Where are you now? Let's meet.”

Gu Xiaoman glanced at the time.

“It's so late, don't bother.”

Mu Lan was almost frantic, not caring about the lateness of the hour.

“Stop the nonsense, I want to see you.”

Gu Xiaoman chuckled.

“President Mu Lan is becoming more and more like a domineering CEO, huh? I'm in my apartment.”

“Wait for me.”

Saying that, she hung up the phone.

Huo Tingxiao immediately got up, and Mu Lan looked at him, totally befuddled.

“What are you doing?”

“I'm going with you,” he said.

Mu Lan quickly shook her head.

“Forget it. If you go, you'll just cause trouble. Yun Xi and I will go.”

Saying that, she got up to leave, and Huo Tingxiao looked a bit pitiful. Everyone else prioritizes love over friendship, but his wife definitely puts friendship before love, how sad.

When Mu Lan arrived at Gu Xiaoman's apartment, seeing her without any sign of anguish over her impending divorce, instead completely indifferent, Mu Lan felt even worse.

“Stop pretending with me. If you want to cry, just cry.”

Gu Xiaoman laughed, but as she laughed, tears rolled down.

“Ah, why do you have to provoke me? What's there to cry about? Divorce isn't going to kill anyone.”

Mu Lan embraced her tightly.

“What exactly happened? Did the discussions fail?”

Gu Xiaoman leaned on Mu Lan's shoulder, speaking with a muffled voice.

“Yeah, I couldn't compete with the one in his heart, so I might as well step back willingly.

It's all because I was impulsive back then. When he proposed, I thought it was a once-in-lifetime opportunity, so I immediately got the certificate. Only later did I realize that I didn't mean anything at all.

I'm such bad luck, aren't I? Screwed over in my first love, and in my first marriage too. Sigh, I think I'm destined to die alone, that's it for me in this life.”

Mu Lan knew Gu Xiaoman would definitely have such thoughts and felt even more heartache.

“Stop talking nonsense. It's Shen Zichu who is blind, what's it got to do with you?

Gu Xiaoman, if you dare to torment yourself over this, I'll never let you off the hook.”

Gu Xiaoman's tears flowed even more, and she felt stuffy in her heart.

“I shouldn't have gotten married in the first place, and now I regret it. It's all self-inflicted, always handing the knife to the other person to stab me in the heart.

Lanlan, do you think I deserve this?”

Mu Lan listened, her heart pounding; even at this moment, she was still looking for reasons within herself.

“Of course not, it's Shen Zichu who has the problem himself.

He wants too much, doesn't want to give up anything, where in the adult world do you get so many good deals?

Really thinking only children have to make choices, and adults have it all? It still depends on whether you truly have the ability.

Knowing you feel insecure, he still dared to hide such a big thing from you, wanting to act as if nothing happened.

Xiaoman, it's his fault, don't always doubt yourself.”

Gu Xiaoman was really confused, Shen Zichu called her unreasonable, said she was too stubborn, even though the solution he proposed was already perfect, why she still wouldn't accept it.

Perfect? What kind of perfect? It's perfect only for him, Gu Xiaoman knew she sometimes was stubborn and couldn't change, incompatible things shouldn't be forcibly reconciled, everyone lives for the first time, life is only so long, let's not torment each other, unresolved issues will only lead to chaos.

“You're right, let's drink today, Yun Xi is here too, let's not go home till we're drunk.

Celebrate the fact that I'm single again, a true warrior!”

Gu Xiaoman took out a bunch of beers from the refrigerator, which she and Shen Zichu had purchased from the supermarket before, just looking at them was upsetting, a reminder of people and things.

So she decided to drink them all, better not to see things that annoy you.

While the three of them were drinking merrily, Shen Zichu was in a heavy mood, directly pulling Huo Tingxiao out.

Of course, Huo Tingxiao was just watching him drink alone.

“I really don't understand, what else is she dissatisfied with, does she really need me to cut ties with Slightly completely to prove that there's nothing between us?

Tingxiao, do you think all women are so unreasonable?

If I really did that, wouldn't it mean I have a guilty conscience? Isn't it better for adults to be open and aboveboard?”

Huo Tingxiao looked at him, calmly took a sip of warm water.

“What you consider open and honest is just your own opinion, how would you feel if Gu Xiaoman had such a man by her side?”

Shen Zichu frowned, feeling somewhat uncomfortable inside, but he believed he would definitely deal with it rationally.

“I would deal with the matter at hand, I wouldn't let emotions get the better of me.”

Huo Tingxiao raised his eyebrows.

“If you say that, it proves that you two are not on the same page.

Different bottom lines, no one can change the other.”

Shen Zichu fell silent for a moment, is this how you advise someone?

“Huo Tingxiao, did you come out here just to pour cold water on me?”

He drank the whiskey in one gulp, speaking with a resentful tone.

Huo Tingxiao, however, didn't feel self-aware in the slightest, he had said everything that needed to be said, an outsider can't help much in such matters, one must realize things on their own.

“It's not pouring cold water, what I'm saying is the truth. You don't want to change, she doesn't want to change either, the issue still needs to be resolved, it can't just be ignored.”

Shen Zichu felt like his head was about to explode.

“I really don't think this is something worth divorcing over, she could just hit me to vent her anger, why does she have to… she's convinced I won't divorce, right?

If that's what she thinks, then I have to prove to her that I, Shen Zichu, am not so easily manipulated.”

Huo Tingxiao quietly sipped his water.

“Shen Zichu, it seems to me you really need to be put in your place.”

Shen Zichu continued to drink, utterly dejected.

He had thought Gu Xiaoman was easy-going and that life with her would be fulfilling, who knew she was such a hard nut to crack, utterly unyielding, he was already too busy at the hospital every day, what's wrong with wanting to enjoy some tender affection.

It wasn't like this when she was chasing after him, indeed, once you have it, you stop appreciating it, huh, women are really something.

Gu Xiaoman was a typical case of changing after marriage.

“I was fooled by her before, all that gentleness and considerateness was fake, she's got a fierce temper. When she was pursuing me, she was so compliant, but after getting together, she became a completely different person.

I'm the real victim here, Huo Tingxiao, I'm the one who deserves sympathy, don't you understand that?”

Huo Tingxiao looked at him with an expressionless face.

“Relationships need to be nurtured, no one can be unconditionally good to you forever, Shen Zichu, it's time for you to wake up.”
