Chapter 178 Give me 5 million in alimony
Ultimately, after discussions between Song Yafei and me, in addition to the previously mentioned real estate, she agreed to give me an additional 500 million yuan in alimony, to be settled in one lump sum.
Five hundred million is indeed a small amount compared to those shares, but I am already very content.
After reaching an agreement, Song Yafei called the group's legal counsel to revise the contract in person, and then we signed the contract.
After the legal staff left, only Song Yafei and I were left in the room. For some reason, there was an awkward atmosphere in the room.
At this moment, Aunt Lin came up in a hurry. She must have bumped into the legal staff who were leaving downstairs. She was speaking in a somewhat hesitant manner.
"Sir, Madam, you..."
Aunt Lin looked at me, then at Song Yafei, swaying back and forth, wanting to ask but hesitant because of her status.
Song Yafei lowered her head and remained silent; I think she wasn't feeling too good either.
The old man was upset, and I couldn't bear it, but I couldn't laugh either. I just confirmed the old man's guess.
"Yes, we are divorced."
"oops!"
Aunt Lin sighed regretfully, her eyes immediately welling up with tears, as if she had so much to say but couldn't express it.
In the end, he said nothing and turned to go downstairs.
I also felt bad. The villa that I used to hate and avoid at all costs has actually made me feel a little reluctant to leave.
"Aunt Lin."
Song Yafei called out to Aunt Lin, "Aunt Lin, please help Zhang Tian pack up all his things. In a few days, he will... move out."
She said this with some hesitation, and I felt conflicted as well.
However, I still declined, saying, "No need, Aunt Lin, I'll just take some tools."
"You can take all your belongings, including your clothes and accessories."
I looked at her, wanting to refuse, but she waved her hand, "If you don't want it, no one will wear it, it's a waste!"
After saying that, she turned and went into the bathroom.
Even though she said that, I still didn't take those things.
Even if I took it, I would hardly ever use it; I would only wear it when accompanying her to banquets.
Moreover, during the previous move, I had already moved most of my belongings.
Finally, I went to the study and tidied up the tools we usually use with Aunt Lin.
Aunt Lin was very reluctant to part with it. She packed up while tears streamed down her face, and she murmured to herself.
In the end, I left carrying a small suitcase.
I couldn't help but look back at this villa, where I had spent decades of my life, and in the end, all I had to leave was a small box.
I turned around again and strode forward without any hesitation.
I could feel a gaze following me from behind, but I didn't turn around.
When the car I called arrived, the driver got out to help me put my suitcase in the car, and then my hand in my pocket made a noise.
I took it out, and Song Yafei's name was flashing on it.
I didn't know what she meant by calling at this time, but I hesitated and still answered her call.
I didn't say anything, I just put the phone to my ear, and her impatient voice came through.
"Tian, let's not get a divorce, okay?"
My breath hitched.
Her voice was pleading, and I know very well how much courage that took for her.
But I've lost my soft heart.
"Song Yafei, it's over between us."
After saying that, I hung up the phone, got into the car, and ignored it.
As the car drove further and further away from the villa, my heart finally broke free from the gloom and welcomed the sunshine.
On the bus, I couldn't help but smile from the bottom of my heart, and the smile grew wider and wider.
I saw Song Yafei again five days later. The cooling-off period was originally one month, but Song Yafei used her connections to shorten it to five days.
Song Yafei has always been carefree, but when it comes to matters of the heart, she drags her feet.
This is probably due to the living environment I grew up in.
When the red seal of the Civil Affairs Bureau fell, everything was settled.
At the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Song Yafei and I didn't seem hostile to others; on the contrary, we looked relaxed.
Perhaps because there was no longer any connection, Song Yafei spoke in an unusually gentle tone.
"Shall I take you?"
I smiled and politely declined, "No need, I can just take a taxi back."
Song Yafei's tone was somewhat cautious, "This might be the last time, let me take you home."
I looked at her; after all, she was the woman I had loved for many years. Seeing the expectation in her eyes, I couldn't bear to refuse her.
When Assistant Luo drove up, he opened the car door and welcomed Song Yafei in. Then, in a guard-like gesture, he invited me into the car.
"First... Brother Zhang, please!"
Perhaps he was also saying goodbye to me in his own way.
I smiled at him and sincerely said "thank you."
On the way back, Song Yafei unusually avoided dealing with official business.
You know, she used to be always busy and happy in the car.
This is truly a rare opportunity!
Is it because they cherish our last moments together?
I do not know.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Two strangers who know each other very well are awkward with each other and don't know what to say.
In the end, it was Song Yafei who broke the quiet atmosphere.
What are your plans next?
I haven't thought about that yet. My life has been so stressful lately that I haven't had the time or energy to think about anything else.
I thought about it and said, "I don't have any plans for the time being. I'll probably just rest for a while, since my hand can't do anything for the time being."
Song Yafei nodded, her face showing remorse.
I've never seen her care this much when we were together. Now that we're divorced, I don't need to dwell on it anymore.
"That's right. Your priority right now is to heal your arm and remember to go for your check-ups on time."
"I told you I would find a doctor for you. Don't worry, I will let you know in advance when I find one."
I wanted to refuse because I didn't want to see her again.
But I also hold onto a sliver of hope that my arm can really be healed.
After all, that's my favorite career, and I don't want to become a useless person.
Seeing that I didn't answer, Song Yafei guessed what I was thinking and quickly explained.
"Don't worry, I said I wouldn't force you anymore. I have no objection to what you want to do."
Since they've already gone this far, I couldn't bring myself to refuse, so I could only nod.
Song Yafei breathed a sigh of relief, and then she brought up Liu Liu again.
"Over this period of time, Liu Liu has almost gotten used to life in the villa, and Aunt Lin and the others like it too, so don't worry."
"If you miss it, you can go see it. Aren't you a big fan of dogs?"
I like dogs, but I haven't thought about going back to the villa.
As for Liu Liu, I do like her.
However, I've noticed over this time that it's living quite well in the villa, so I don't need to worry about it anymore.
After all, I can't even take care of myself right now.
The car arrived at the apartment building, and after saying goodbye, I got out of the car without agreeing to go to the villa to see Liu Liu.
I didn't even look back.
After going upstairs, I watched her car drive away, feeling a mix of emotions.
Maybe we'll never see each other again!
Goodbye, Song Yafei!
I said goodbye to her in my heart.
