step by step addiction

At Century Square, Helan returned to the stage holding the No. 3 trophy, her hands shaking with excitement.

The host on the stage was announcing No. 2, and warm applause came from another place. Helan almost burst into tears, and the passion that should have disappeared with age began to burn from the bottom of his heart.

"I never dreamed that at the age of 60, life could be wonderful again."

Tao Guihong was also moved, "When my daughter first persuaded me to open a store, she said that no matter how old you are, as long as you want to do something, you can start over. We have no mortgage or car loan, and our children no longer need us to support them. As long as we are willing to spend There’s nothing wrong with time and energy.”

Helan clutched the trophy tightly, and suddenly recalled her past days in her mind, where she was drunk here and there, busy from morning to night, but in the end it seemed that she was so busy that there was no point in it.

She remembered her son's words to persuade her again, and the door in her heart that had never been opened suddenly opened a crack. Gradually, she began to fantasize about what she could do after the divorce, what she could do, and what she no longer needed to do.

There was only one word in her mind, freedom.

At that moment, Helan's heart was extremely hot.

At almost noon, Helan received a call from the servant, asking her if she would go home for dinner.

"I won't go back. Tell Fu Beishan that I will never go back again."

Divorce, when she really started to think about this issue in her mind, Helan found that it was not that difficult. All she had left in the Fu family compound over the years was just a pile of clothes and some jewelry.

After listening to Helan's words, the servant obviously felt something was wrong and quickly brought the words to Fu Beishan.

"What did you say? You won't answer any questions? Call her again and let her explain clearly." After hearing this, Fu Beishan was shocked and angry, but even he didn't notice that there was a hint of emotion in his voice. kind of fear.

He knew that no one could leave this family without Helan.

He once firmly believed that Helan would be a ghost of the Fu family until her death. That obedient stupid woman was as stupid as a donkey. Nothing could make him feel at ease. But she was his wife, and she regarded him as her God. He should be regarded as God.

The anger in Fu Beishan's heart was getting bigger and bigger, and mixed with the anger was a confusion that he couldn't understand.

The servant had to dial the number again, then handed the phone to Fu Beishan and left voluntarily.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Helan's voice came from the phone. The two had not spoken for nearly a week. It was obviously a very familiar voice, but Fu Beishan felt strange to it. The voice was no longer the hard-working voice before, but with a... There is a sense of distance, an inexplicable confidence, and happiness.

"Where are you?" Fu Beishan frowned tightly, holding back the embarrassment in his heart. But he was used to giving orders, so he immediately felt that he had lost face, and his tone became tough again, "Do you still know how to return to this home? No. If you know, don’t reply.”

"I won't go back." He Lan's tone was a little calmer, "I will live with my son. After a while, we will get divorced."

She wanted to understand why she had been numb and indifferent for so many years, because she thought that her life would be the same for the rest of her life, so she reconciled with herself and instead of being angry and sad, it was better not to care about anything.

Habit is a very scary thing. She got used to enduring it until she became accustomed to it and endured it to the point where she didn't even think it was a problem.

It wasn't until her life broke into new friends and new things that broke her original life that she realized that she had other choices and other possibilities.

And once I understand this, the emotional outburst of more than 30 years is not hatred, but complete self-liberation.

She was finally free.

Fu Beishan's expression was dull for a moment, and the phone almost slipped down. After a while, he cursed angrily.

"You are asking for divorce now that you are several decades old. I can't afford to lose this person. Li Zhuizi, I have to leave you alone."

"I'll tell you first. It's up to you whether we leave or not. Anyway, I won't go back to the Fu family compound."

Helan cut off the phone directly.

She felt it didn't matter now, she could divorce if she wanted to, or if she didn't want to, she didn't plan to start a new family anyway, she just didn't want to dedicate herself to the Fu family compound anymore.

......

After Helan got her ranking, she sent a message to her son and daughter. Although she knew that Fu Yao would definitely not reply, she still wanted to share this joy with her children.

By the way, she told her son that she wanted a divorce.

After hearing this, Fu Tingyang breathed a long sigh of relief.

From the time he could remember, he had been looking forward to his parents getting divorced. He didn't care whether he had a complete family. He just didn't want to see his mother working as a pawn for the Fu family anymore. But Fu Beishan didn't appreciate it and couldn't see his mother's love. Half a point is good.

"Tonight I will have a meal with Aunt Tao and the others to celebrate. My treat." Fu Tingyang was gratified and happy.

Helan also felt happy and agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Fu Tingyang called Ji Yunsu again.

"My mother won No. 3 in the competition. I would like to treat you to a potluck dinner. Thank you for supporting her, encouraging her, and changing her."

Ji Yunsu thought he was too polite, "That's because Auntie is awesome, but we actually didn't do anything."

Fu Tingyang said sincerely: "After meeting you, I saw changes in my mother. I have always wanted her to divorce my father. She would never have thought about such a thing before, but now she wants a divorce, and I am very worried about it." Happy."

Ji Yunsu immediately felt like a stone was stuck in her heart. She had hoped that her mother and Ji Pingchang would divorce, but she also understood how painful the disappointment that her father had brought to her children was.

Even though Fu Tingyang didn't say it, for him, the family that gave birth to and raised him was broken.

My hometown is ruined. Even if I can't live in it, I still feel regretful and uncomfortable.

Ji Yunsu took a deep breath and laughed, "Now we are all children of a single-parent family."

"Thank you, it's nice to meet you." Fu Tingyang leaned his head back on the chair, looking at the ceiling, feeling relaxed physically and mentally as never before.

Ji Yunsu hesitated for a moment and felt a little embarrassed, "Can I bring my family members with me to dinner?"

Fu Tingyang moved his jaw, paused for a second, and then smiled, "Of course, I will set dinner time at seven o'clock, so that he can arrive after get off work."

After the two hung up the phone, Ji Yunsu sent a message to Zhuang Yan.

Although Zhuang Yan didn't like Fu Tingyang, he would not object to such an occasion where the elders of both parties were present. He just turned around and asked Fu Tingyang where the restaurant was, and then directly contacted the restaurant manager to arrange this. Fan.

......

At almost 06:30, Zhuang Yan returned to Tianhai Boyuan.

Ji Yunsu and his mother had already packed up and were waiting for him to come back and then go together.

As for why it was so troublesome, she actually said that they could leave separately, but Zhuang Yan was unwilling and had to come to pick them up.

When I came to the restaurant, because I entered the private room, the two "eyes" that had been following me could no longer be seen.

One of them called to report the situation after they entered.

"I was having dinner at Yutai, but I don't know which box I entered."

Shen Xia quickly called her assistant and asked her to stay at Yutai Dingya Room, while she drove there immediately.
