Chapter 407: Chapter 406: Let’s Get a Divorce!

"Shao Meirou! I, Lu Pengcheng, am sorry to you and Xiaozheng! But I still have to apologize to you! Let’s get a divorce! Everything in the house I leave to you! I’ll be left with nothing! Xiaozheng is all grown up now..."

His son had a girlfriend and might settle down anytime.

Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings; he didn’t want to interfere with anything.

Lu Pengcheng knew that talking about divorce at this age was really not something to be proud of—it was indeed very unfair to Shao Meirou.

Xiaozheng might not be able to accept this fact in the future!

But all his life, he had been living for others.

He wanted to live for himself in the years he had left, following his own desires.

Maybe he would have to endure a lot of condemnation and accusations, but he didn’t care about these!

All he wanted was to spend the rest of his life with the person he loved!

Even if Luo Xinyan would never accept him, he was content with that!

Just the thought of being in the same city as her, breathing the same air, filled him with immense satisfaction!

Lu Pengcheng was so straightforward in bringing up the divorce to her!

At that moment, Shao Meirou could no longer maintain her gentle and virtuous demeanor, her heart aching as if it was being cut with a knife!

She had loved this man for so many years, only to be repaid with his frivolous apology and divorce!

How could she possibly accept that?

She cried out loudly, "Lu Pengcheng! Although we have treated each other with respect, we have also been together for thirty years! How many sets of thirty years does Shao Meirou have in her life?

I’ve wasted my best years on this marriage with you, and now in my fifties, when I am old and faded, you talk about divorce?

If you wanted a divorce, why didn’t you say it when I was young? The moment you met that woman, you immediately proposed divorce! Do you even have a conscience?"

She could never agree to divorce him!

She had wasted her life on him!

From the first moment she saw him, she had fallen deeply in love with him!

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have half-heartedly agreed to marry him just to please her family!

But now, he wanted to divorce her!

How could she agree to that?

Lu Pengcheng hadn’t expected Shao Meirou to scream so desperately that nearly half the hospital could hear her.

He frowned tightly, "Shao Meirou, can you calm down? We’ve hardly been together these years! You know what kind of life it has been!

It’s me, Lu Pengcheng, who has wronged you these years! You should go and live the life you want in the future!"

He knew he was being selfish, letting Shao Meirou waste her best years on him!

But knowing about the existence of Luo Xinyan and Luo Yue, he couldn’t continue to maintain a marital relationship with Shao Meirou.

Otherwise, wouldn’t that be even more selfish?

Shao Meirou’s face was streaked with tears. Did she want to lose her composure in front of everyone?

She was usually such an image-conscious person, forced into this state by Lu Pengcheng!

"Lu Pengcheng! I will not agree to divorce you! Not unless I am dead!

You met that woman, and now you want to divorce me! Do you think you will live happily ever after? In your dreams! I will not let you succeed!"

Lu Pengcheng coldly said, "This has nothing to do with her! Even if I divorced you, she would not agree to be with me!"

Shao Meirou! You must understand! We have no feelings for each other, so why keep dragging this on?"

Shao Meirou forcefully wiped away the tears that kept flowing down. She slowly calmed down, her emotional outburst and loss of composure moments earlier had been sparked by his sudden mention of divorce.

She clearly understood that their marriage was not just up to the two of them! There were also the elders from both sides! And not to mention Lu Zheng, their son!

"Lu Pengcheng! Have you forgotten who my father is?"

Lu Pengcheng grasped the deeper meaning behind Shao Meirou’s words, "I haven’t forgotten, Shao Meirou! I believe your father, wanting what’s best for you, will also support our divorce!"

"Lu Pengcheng!" Shao Meirou scoffed coldly, "What about your mother then? Will she support you divorcing me? Can she bear to lose such a good family connection with us?"

She knew all too well how much her mother-in-law valued this!

Lu Pengcheng’s expression tightened. Indeed, his mother would be the greatest obstacle to his divorce from Shao Meirou!

The drama of crying, creating a scene, and threatening suicide would all be played out.

Shao Meirou saw Lu Pengcheng’s troubled expression, and despite the sadness in her heart, she let out a cold laugh.

She looked at the man she had loved deeply for many years. He really was ruthless!

Was he willing to give up everything for that woman and girl?

At that moment in the hospital room, Fang Youlan slowly regained consciousness. Upon opening her eyes, she saw Lu Qing standing by the door, her face etched with worry and tension.

Outside in the corridor, the faint sound of people quarreling could be heard.

"Qingqing!" Fang Youlan called out weakly.

Lu Qing turned around and saw Fang Youlan awake. She rushed to the bedside excited, tears streaming, "Grandma! Are you awake? You really scared us just now!"

Fang Youlan frowned weakly and said, "It’s nothing... Why is it so noisy outside?"

Lu Qing, feeling guilty, looked down, "Someone is probably arguing!"

She dared not reveal that the people arguing were her uncle and aunt.

"Hmm! Where is your aunt then?" Fang Youlan didn’t hear clearly and didn’t think much of it.

Lu Qing lied, "She went to the bathroom!"

Fang Youlan asked the question she cared more about, "Has your uncle come back?"

She had been so angry earlier that she blacked out and knew nothing afterward.

Now that things had turned out this way, her regret was of no use. It was better to think of a solution earlier.

"He’s back! He went out to buy food!" Lu Qing’s forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat as she prayed inwardly for the two to stop fighting and come back soon.

Otherwise, she really wouldn’t be able to hold on any longer.

Fang Youlan, feeling a little relieved, said, "Qingqing! Pack up my things; once they all come back, we’ll leave the hospital and head back to the provincial city!"

"Okay!" Lu Qing hesitated for a moment, feeling that her grandmother’s current physical condition seemed unsuitable for the tiring journey.

But considering those people and the circumstances, it seemed not her place as the younger generation to decide. She could only obediently agree.

Lu Pengcheng and Shao Meirou entered the hospital room one after another, both looking distressed, with Shao Meirou’s eyes obviously showing signs of having cried a lot.

Fang Youlan noticed something was wrong, "What happened to you guys?"

"Mom, nothing!" Shao Meirou stood by the bed and bent over with concern, "Mom, do you feel discomfort anywhere since waking up?"

She knew that if Lu Pengcheng wanted to divorce her, apart from anything else, it would be tough getting past the old lady.

"I feel like there’s a heavy stone pressing on my chest!" Fang Youlan had much to discuss with her eldest son.

So, she forced a smile and said, "Meirou, I’m hungry! I’d like to have something soft to eat; you and Qingqing go buy it!"
