Chapter 224: Chapter 224: From today onwards, completely liberated!

Cui Ruyun thought she must have heard wrong.

Divorce?

So, from now on, he would be alone.

Doesn’t that mean... there was still hope for her...

With that thought, Cui Ruyun’s cheeks couldn’t help but become hot.

As she walked out of the room with a smile on her lips, she ran into her sister-in-law, Cui Fengjiu, who just arrived.

Cui Fengjiu came up and asked, "Where’s Chen Xuan?"

"Oh, he has already left."

"What do you mean he left? How do you plan to deal with what’s between you two?"

Cui Ruyun immediately turned her head away, her gaze evasive, "I... I don’t have anything going on with him..."

Cui Fengjiu: "Are you still trying to lie to me? Let me tell you, I’ve already heard about what happened last night. You’re really silly, to actually sacrifice your innocence to..."

Cui Ruyun blushed with shame and panic, not expecting her subordinates to be so loose-lipped as to report everything to her sister-in-law.

"I didn’t feel like I was sacrificing myself, what happened last night was voluntary!"

Cui Fengjiu sighed helplessly, "Alright, since it was your own decision, then I’ll stay out of it. However, what is Chen Xuan’s attitude towards you now? Does he have any intention of taking responsibility for you?"

On hearing this, Cui Ruyun lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.

Cui Fengjiu’s expression became unsightly, "I’ve said it, men are no good! You cured his poison, and he doesn’t even want to take responsibility!"

Cui Ruyun hurriedly waved her hands, "It’s not like that. It’s just that he was drunk yesterday and doesn’t remember anything that happened..."

"Doesn’t remember? Then why don’t you tell him?"

Cui Ruyun lowered her head, "I... I don’t plan to tell him. And, I’ve never thought about making him take responsibility for me..."

"You..."

Cui Fengjiu was simply too exasperated to speak, "What am I supposed to say to you? You’re just too foolish!"

Cui Fengjiu had always regarded Cui Ruyun as her own, she knew very well that although Cui Ruyun seemed to be successful and charming, she actually set extremely high standards for men, which is why she was almost thirty and still had never been in a relationship.

Now, Cui Ruyun had finally found a man she liked and had given him the most important thing she could offer.

But the outcome was so unclear!

Cui Ruyun also knew that she was indeed foolish.

But for that one man she had liked in her whole life, she was willing!

She only hoped that one day his heart would fall on her, and she would be thoroughly content...

After leaving the Rose Bar, Chen Xuan drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Just as he arrived at the entrance, he saw a tall figure standing there.

Even though she was wearing sunglasses, Chen Xuan recognized her instantly.

Han Jingting!

Chen Xuan took a deep breath and approached her. "I’m sorry, I’m late..."

Han Jingting’s expression was cold, "It doesn’t matter; it has already been too many years anyway."

Without another word, Han Jingting walked straight into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Chen Xuan was momentarily stunned but followed after her.

Half an hour later, the two walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Looking at the divorce certificate in his hand, Chen Xuan was in a daze.

The marriage I’d guarded for six years had finally come to an end!

Chen Xuan looked at Han Jingting, "Congratulations, from today on, you are completely free!"

Han Jingting scoffed, "That’s something you should say to yourself."

Having said that, Han Jingting didn’t look back as she drove away.

Chen Xuan was stunned for a long while, then gave a bitter smile and sat on the steps to smoke.

In the car, tears flowed down from beneath her sunglasses.

Han Jingting took off her glasses, revealing red and swollen eyes.

It was over, completely over!

Dragging her weary body, Han Jingting returned home, only to see Ding Lijuan and Han Bowwen chatting and laughing with a couple of guests in the living room.

It turned out to be her cousin Ding Liang and his mother, Guo Yueling.

"Yo, Jingting is back! Not having seen you for years, you’ve become even more beautiful!" Guo Yueling said with a beaming smile.

But Han Jingting didn’t have much fondness for this aunt by marriage.

After her second uncle died, this aunt started asking for money from Ding Lijuan on various pretexts.

Sometimes it was because Ding Liang needed money for school, other times Ding Liang needed money for tutoring classes.

It could be a few thousand or over ten thousand; if Ding Lijuan didn’t give it, Guo Yueling would scold her for not caring about second uncle’s kinship, for neglecting their orphaned and widowed lives upon his death, and even used denying Ding Lijuan the chance to meet with Ding Liang as leverage.

Considering Ding Liang as her own, Ding Lijuan, in order to see him often, would comply with Guo Yueling’s demands, continuously sending money her way.

Over these years, the sum taken by Guo Yueling amounted to at least a hundred thousand!

Ding Lijuan was fierce, but Guo Yueling was fiercer than Ding Lijuan!

"Sorry, aunty, I’m not feeling well today, so I’m going to rest in my room first."

Han Jingting had just divorced and didn’t want to talk, let alone sit around with Guo Yueling and the rest.

However, before Han Jingting could leave, she heard Guo Yueling scoff, saying sarcastically, "Oh, being a president sure is different, isn’t it? Even your airs have grown bigger. We poor relatives from the countryside can’t climb up to your level!"

Han Jingting’s expression turned icy, "I didn’t mean that, but if that’s how you truly feel, feel free to think as you wish."

Guo Yueling was indignant, and Ding Liang also put on a look of being wronged, "Aunt, it seems that my sister doesn’t welcome us. If that’s the case, we should leave now, and we won’t come back in the future!"

Ding Liang and Guo Yueling stood up to leave.

Ding Lijuan immediately became anxious, "Don’t go, Xiao Liang, you haven’t visited me for years, why leave as soon as you arrive?"

"Aunt, I would also like to see you, but look at the attitude of my sister. It’s clear we’re not welcome! With things like this, how can we have the face to stay longer?"

Ding Liang sighed, showing a deeply disheartened demeanor.

Ding Lijuan’s heart ached at once, and she turned to Han Jingting, chastising her loudly, "Jingting, look how upset you’ve made Xiao Liang and your aunt. Apologize right now!"

"I..."

"Apologize!"

Han Jingting felt utterly wronged.

It had always been like this since she was young. Whenever there was a disagreement between her and Ding Liang, her mother would without fail take Ding Liang’s side.

Ding Lijuan had always wanted a son, so she favored Ding Liang extremely.

Han Jingting still remembered the time her favorite cloth doll was ruined by Ding Liang. She merely scolded him, and then Ding Liang cried and complained to Ding Lijuan.

The result was that Ding Lijuan beat Han Jingting without any attempt to discern the truth, and then forcibly gave the cloth doll to Ding Liang.

A few days later, that beloved cloth doll was scribbled on with a pen by Ding Liang beyond recognition and thrown into the trash.

Sometimes, Han Jingting truly felt that when compared to Ding Liang, she seemed to be the outsider!
