She Lost Memory Before the Divorce Chapter 281

Chapter 281: Chapter 0281: The Marriage Certificate Turns into a Divorce Certificate Chapter 281: Chapter 0281: The Marriage Certificate Turns into a Divorce Certificate Shen Zichu hadn't come to his senses yet, he always said Gu Xiaoman was stubborn, but wasn't he the same?

Master Shen's pride was above all else; naturally, he couldn't understand why a woman who once prioritized him above everything else wouldn't budge on this matter.

Moreover, his affection was fitting within the boundaries of propriety–it was nothing more than an unrequited love that ended without illness. Was it really necessary to be like this?

“If she wants to divorce, let her divorce–who says the world won't go on without her?

To divorce is to divorce, who am I afraid of?”

Huo Tingxiao raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself how fortunate he was that he hadn't ended up getting divorced. Otherwise, missing out on Mu Lan was something he didn't even dare to imagine.

“Gu Xiaoman is such a great girl; if she leaves you, she'll only find someone better.

Think about it, could you really do without her?”

Shen Zichu was momentarily left speechless, but after thinking about it, he still felt indignant. He had his own pride too; why should he always be the one to give in?

“What's wrong with that? So many people chase after me, what do I need her for?”

Huo Tingxiao couldn't help but witness the extent of what's called a 'duck's stubbornness.'
“Oh? With so many people chasing after you, then why did you insist on marrying her in the first place? Think about it, don't do something impulsively that you'll find difficult to fix later.”

Impulsively… He thought about how his proposal to Gu Xiaoman was indeed truly done on an impulse.

He found this girl easy-going and interesting, never worrying about the conversation falling flat when talking to her.

Even without speaking, their silence was never awkward–they could both do their own thing.

She was like air, like water, sometimes even like wine, refreshing him like a spring breeze yet also intoxicating him.

Had it not been for this incident, he wouldn't have known that she too had her temper, a territory that wouldn't tolerate any infringement.

Not the slightest compromise!

Shen Zichu's feelings were complex. On one hand, he felt he had been sincere enough, but on the other, he wanted to see if she really loved him–if she did, why couldn't she make even the smallest concession? He was also willing to go to great lengths to make it up to her.

Shao Wei would never obstruct anything and wouldn't affect their marriage, so why couldn't she… take a step back?

As he was lost in his thoughts, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing Gu Xiaoman's name displayed, Shen Zichu couldn't help the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

She was initiating reconciliation, so he might as well forgive her.

“Hello?”

“Shen Zichu, if you're still a man, then bring your household registration book to the civil affairs bureau tomorrow morning, and let's get the divorce done,” said Gu Xiaoman.

As soon as Gu Xiaoman finished speaking, it felt like a giant bomb exploded in Shen Zichu's mind.

She called just to say this?

He thought she wanted to make amends! It seemed he was merely wishful thinking.

Since she was so set on divorcing, why should he cling on against his will?

“Fine, what time tomorrow?”

“Ten in the morning. Don't be late.”

“Right, don't be late. You…”

Shen Zichu wanted to say something more, but Gu Xiaoman had already hung up the phone.

Staring blankly at his phone, he felt completely bewildered.

How did things turn out like this?

Huo Tingxiao watched him, couldn't help shaking his head.

“Be stubborn, just don't regret it later.”

Shen Zichu didn't speak, seemingly unable to recover his composure for quite a while.

Meanwhile, Gu Xiaoman on the other end burst into tears once she hung up the phone.

“He agreed, Lanlan, he really agreed.

I knew I was never truly in his heart.”

“Divorcing is for the best. I granted him his freedom. Whether he's with Shao Wei or Zhang Wei, Li Wei, Wang Wei–it's none of my business.”

Mu Lan couldn't help but sigh as she watched Gu Xiaoman react this way.

“Xiaoman, you're just working yourself into a fury.”

“I'm not working myself into a fury; I've seen things clearly. My place in his heart–Lanlan, I'm not as brave as you, able to wait for Huo Tingxiao for so many years.

If I don't withdraw in time, if I keep waiting, I'll end up ruined.

Call me a coward, or selfish if you like, but there's no point continuing down a dead-end road.

Once the paperwork is done, I'm going to Germany to find my aunt. She's been asking me to come, and she's the only family I have left. It's quite nice to rely on each other.”

Seeing that she had really made up her mind, Mu Lan didn't know how to persuade her otherwise.

“Xiaoman, have you really thought it through? Otherwise…”
“I have thought it through. Anyway, I work in social media; I can do it from anywhere. It's the perfect opportunity to start my own world tour. I had once thought about having a post-marriage plan with Shen Zichu, at least I had to consider his family.

Now it's fine, I alone am full and my family isn't starving.

Lanlan, take good care of your relationship with Huo Tingxiao. What you guys have wasn't easy to come by.”

Mu Lan felt a pang of emotion. Her relationship with Huo Tingxiao had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel, but she couldn't bear to see Gu Xiaoman like this.

“Whatever decision you make, I'll support you.

Xiaoman, remember, you're not alone; you've still got me by your side.”

Tears streamed down Gu Xiaoman's face. Having a good friend like Mu Lan truly was a blessing.

“Mmhmm.”

The next morning
Gu Xiaoman and Shen Zichu both arrived on time at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Seeing how recent their wedding was, the staff couldn't help but make a few comments.

“You two seem well-matched. You sure you don't want to think it over?”

“No need.”

Gu Xiaoman responded decisively, while Shen Zichu couldn't get the words out of his throat and stayed silent in the end.

Transforming a marriage certificate into a divorce certificate was also quite easy.

The two had no financial disputes, but Shen Zichu insisted on giving Gu Xiaoman a small apartment worth twenty to thirty million, which she refused.

“Shen Zichu, I wasn't with you for things like that, and besides, that money you earned yourself, it has nothing to do with me.”

Shen Zichu frowned.

“At least I accompanied you once, how can I not have anything to show for it as a man?

Since you're here, let's head to the Office of Public Affairs and get the deed transferred.”

Gu Xiaoman was stubborn. She said she wouldn't accept and she meant it–receiving property for nothing wasn't her style.

“I've said no, and you can't force me.

Shen Zichu, from now on… let's just be ordinary friends. Let's not make this ugly, okay?”

Shen Zichu looked at her with hatred burning in his eyes. Ordinary friends? Were they even in a position to be friends?

“You can't even understand me and Shao Wei, and now you want to be friends with me?”

Gu Xiaoman frowned, questioning his implication–did he mean to have nothing more to do with her?

“Suit yourself, if you think it's better to not stay in touch, then let's not. Goodbye!

Oh, wrong–never see you again!”

After saying that, Gu Xiaoman turned and left without a backward glance, leaving Shen Zichu stomping in frustration.

She really was his nemesis, always troubling him with discomfort!

Looking down at the divorce certificate in his hand, Shen Zichu was somewhat dazed. He had drunk quite a bit yesterday; his mind still wasn't clear. Just like that, they were divorced, and he felt no sense of reality at all.

Damn it, just half a month ago they were still intimate in his apartment, and in the blink of an eye… they were divorced?
