wealthy divorce

Click.

The lighter flickered a few times in the sun, and Bai Tang leaned against the car door and lit a cigarette.

Smoky, climbed to the top of the clouds.The sunny weather above the cemetery turned gloomy, and a few minutes later, a drizzle fell.

The rain was getting heavier, and the water flow merged into a trickle and rushed in all directions, passing by the silent and cold tombstones.In the hazy rain and mist, a person came walking with an umbrella under the water, and the top of the black umbrella was heavily pressed down, covering most of his face.

Bai Tang stamped out the cigarette, and stopped him with his hand: "Chu Ming."

"..."

Chu Ming raised her head slightly, and said softly, "It's you."

"It's me. You've been on the set for a while, and you haven't even seen me, the boss, visiting the set."

Bai Tang said warmly, "Now that the filming is over, how about it, do you have time to sit down, drink tea and chat?"

Chu Ming shook her head: "No, I'm sorry."

Bo Tang looked at his alienated and rejected side face, and remained silent for a long time.

The autumn weather turned cold, but Chu Ming was only wearing a thin camel-colored windbreaker, his pale chin was buried in a cashmere scarf, his fingers were cold, and the curve of his brow bone was thin and fragile, like glass that would shatter when touched.

It turned out to be so haggard...

Bo Tang frowned, and held his cold fingertips: "The dead are gone...the mourning is changing."

Chu Ming pulled out her hand and said, "Well, thank you."

The road to the cemetery was not long, and Bai Tang walked with him for a while, watching him stop in front of a new tomb, bent down to wipe off the water stains on the photo, and straightened a bouquet of flowers at the bottom of the stele.

"Did you send the flowers?"

Bo Tang: "Yes, I came in a hurry, there is only this bouquet of flowers."

Chu Ming: "Very beautiful, thank you."

Raindrops fell one after another, falling into bead chains on the umbrella surface, and smashing dark marks on the mud floor.

Bai Tang wanted to send Chu Ming back, but he refused.The rain was getting heavier and heavier, so he walked a long distance alone, waited at a street corner for a while, and stopped a taxi.

The taxi drove back to the bustling city from the remote suburbs, and the cold steel forest was sunk in the rain, gray and blurred.

The car finally stopped in front of a residential area. Chu Ming got out of the car under an umbrella, and his cold fingertips got wet with raindrops. He let out a breath and walked slowly towards the house.

Ding.

The elevator runs to the eighth floor, and several boxes are blocked in the middle of the aisle.The door of the opposite house, which had been vacant all this time, was ajar, and it seemed that a new resident had moved in.

Chu Ming walked around the box blocking the way and opened the door with a key.Just as he was putting away his wet umbrella and hanging it in the porch, the sound of footsteps gradually approached, and someone stopped at the door of his house.

"What a coincidence, you live here too."

The man smiled and walked into his porch naturally.

Chu Ming turned around and saw a familiar face - Ji Ze.

"Oh, it's you."

"..."

Ji Ze's inquiring eyes swept across his eyebrows, as if trying to find something strange.However, he failed, because from the beginning to the end, Chu Ming's expression was indifferent, neither sad nor happy, as if he was looking at a stranger.

He raised his eyebrows, and said again: "Did you see that I didn't react at all? We haven't seen each other for a long time—by the way, Bai Yi came back with me today, and he will come to accompany me later."

Chu Ming: "Yes."

"..."

Ji Ze continued to smile, and said, "Why don't you come and see me and his new home?"

Chu Ming: "No, please go out, I'm going to rest."

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

Ji Ze said, "Anyway, after he and I move here, we will meet often."

After he finished speaking with a smile, he raised his hand and pulled it—closed the door for Chu Ming.

Bang.

The door was closed, and the room was silent.Chu Ming turned around and walked to the living room, took a portion of noodles and two eggs from the refrigerator, and simply ordered a bowl of noodles for herself.

The noodles were steaming hot, he sat at the dining table and finished eating the noodles quietly, then got up to wash the dishes.After washing the dishes, I had nothing to do, so I lay on the sofa alone and read a book for a while.

Raindrops beat rhythmically on the floor-to-ceiling windows, playing a lyrical ditty.It didn't take long for Chu Ming's book to fall from his hand to the floor. He leaned on the sofa and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

It was still raining in the dream, the rain was pouring, the thunder was rumbling, and a thunderbolt pierced the sky, splitting the gray sky in two.

Chu Ming was awakened by the thunder, and when he opened his eyes, the sky was as dark as night, and the living room seemed to be covered with a layer of black veil, making it bleak.

It's only four o'clock in the afternoon, and the wind and rain are blowing against the window one after another.He went over and closed the curtains, but found that his key was missing. After thinking about it, it might have been left in the keyhole outside.

When Chu Ming pushed the door open, the opposite door was also opened, and a man with a gloomy face came out of it. He seemed to have just had a big fire, and his whole body was filled with a shockingly sharp aura.

Chu Ming raised her head, met the man's eyes inadvertently, and was slightly taken aback.

Bai Yi: "..."

The moment he saw Chu Ming, his low aura that was about to storm dissipated miraculously, and his reaction was even stronger than that of Chu Ming, and he immediately stepped over—Chu Ming reflexively took a step back , and was immediately pressed against the wall by the man.

The injured arm was grabbed by Bai Yi. Although the wound had healed, there was still a dull pain.Chu Ming snorted, and before she could say anything, her lips were sealed by the man.

This kiss was so urgent, like a violent storm.Bai Yi seemed to be eager to ask for everything from Chu Ming, imprisoning his freedom, forcing him to look up to accept his kiss, and not allowing him the slightest chance to withdraw.

But soon, his movements stopped.

The man regained his sanity from the short-lived mania, and discovered a fact - the person in front of him did not respond to him.

Whether it was coercion or possession, Chu Ming didn't make any moves, he was just pressed against the wall by Bai Yi, his eyes were filled with apathetic calm.

Bai Yi looked at him, the expression in his eyes changed several times, and finally became obscure: "You—"

Chu Ming interrupted him suddenly: "Do you want to come in and sit?"

Bai Yi: "...OK."

He followed Chu Ming into the house, grabbed the doorknob with his backhand, and slowly closed the door.

There were still books and blankets piled up on the sofa, Chu Ming threw them aside, tidied up the living room casually, found a pack of tea leaves from the cupboard, and made a cup of tea for Bai Yi.

When he was doing this, Bai Yi was on the sidelines, staring at him closely, his eyes fixed on one inch, as if he was staring at his own belongings, with a hot and undisguised possessive desire in his eyes.

Chu Ming seemed unaware of this, he put the teacup in front of Bai Yi, said "wait a minute", and then went back to the bedroom to look for something.

Bai Yi took a sip from the teacup, fell silent for a while, swallowed the tea wordlessly, and put down the cup again.

Soon Chu Ming came out of the room with a pen and a document in his hand.

Bai Yi's pupils shrank slightly.

Chu Ming pushed the divorce agreement in front of the man under his heavy and oppressive gaze, raised her head and said calmly, "Sign it."

"..."

For a moment, the man looked extremely scary, like a wild beast that was on the verge of getting out of control, ready to explode and hurt people at any time.

Chu Ming was not afraid, but just looked at him quietly.After a while, Bai Yi took a deep breath, and buried all the hostility between his deep eyebrows and eyes without a trace.

He held Chu Ming's wrist and said hoarsely, "Why."

After hearing this, Chu Ming suddenly laughed.This smile is also plain, but contains a slight sarcasm.

He said softly: "Bai Yi, why don't you ask yourself, ask Ji Ze outside?"

Bai Yi: "I have nothing to do with him."

He firmly grasped Chu Ming's hand, and squeezed his fingers into Chu Ming's fingers, trying to intertwine with him.

The diamond ring on the man's finger was so painful that his skin hurt, Chu Ming let him hold it without moving, and said, "You were at Ji Ze's place that night, right?"

Bai Yi: "When?"

When Chu Ming heard the words, there was another soft laugh.

While laughing, he abruptly withdrew his hand, with such force that the corner of the diamond ring even drew a bloodstain on his hand.

Bai Yi instinctively wanted to grab his hand and look for a band-aid.Chu Ming took a step back, keeping a distance from him.

"The day my grandpa died,"

He said, "You are on Jize's bed, right?"

"..."

For some unknown reason, Bai Yi's body froze all of a sudden.It was as if he had just realized what had happened, and there was a clear astonishment in his eyes, which quickly dimmed.

——It wasn't until this moment that he really realized that there was really no possibility between them.

Chu Ming was still at the side and said slowly: "Whether it's Yang Mei or Ji Ze, as long as you want to suppress such a scandal, you can suppress it."

"Bai Yi, you showed me on purpose for three years, just to remind me all the time, to let me realize the fact that I sold myself to your Bai family—right?

Bai Yi: "No, I just—"

Chu Ming made an interruption gesture, her tone was light and indifferent, as if she was talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with her.

"Bai Yi, I've had enough of you, let's get a divorce."

"..."

If Chu Ming's attitude just now could leave him with a glimmer of hope, this understatement is like cutting down with a guillotine, directly cutting off all possibilities.

At that moment, the eye sockets of this usually cold man turned slightly red, he opened his mouth, and his voice was hoarse and difficult: "No."

Chu Ming: "Then how can you agree, destroy me, or let me commit suicide for you to see?"

There is a deep pool in the young man's beautiful obsidian eyes, the wind is light and the clouds are calm, without waves or waves.

Bai Yi met his gaze, and the time passed by, and the look in the man's eyes was also a little bit dark, and finally condensed into an irresolvable despair.

"give me one more chance,"

Every word he said seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat, with difficulty and sluggishness, with faint blood froth, "Chu Ming... I love you."

He took Chu Ming's hand and buried his forehead deeply in the young man's palm.

"I love you."

He repeated this sentence, like a loser who lost everything overnight and only had one piece of property left - he had to take this only property and beg for something that would allow him to live.

Chu Ming withdrew her hand again slowly and irresistibly, and said, "Your love is too heavy, I can't bear it."

He gently stuffed the pen into Bai Yi's hand, and said, "Let's sign."

"..."

The man's fingers were long and slender with well-defined bones. This hand, which used to sign hundreds of millions of contracts with a precious pen in a high-end conference room, was now facing a small divorce agreement, but its knuckles trembled slightly.

The tip of the pen firmly pressed against the snow-white paper, and a little bit of ink leaked out.His eyes were red, and he wanted to throw his pen away a few times, but after meeting Chu Ming's indifferent gaze, he sat back down, with his fingers inserted into his hair, and several strands of his originally meticulously combed hair hung down in a mess, looking embarrassed And decadent.

He finally signed his name on the divorce agreement, the handwriting was messy and scribbled - it was signed one by one by Chu Ming holding his wrist.

The torrential rain outside the window did not know when it subsided, and the thunder and wind went away together, only the sound of raindrops hitting the window.

Chu Ming accepted the divorce agreement and said, "If you are free tomorrow, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the formalities."

Bai Yi opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

Chu Ming suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, just wait."

He went back to the room again, came out with a bank card in his hand, and pushed it to Bai Yi.

"I've paid back all the money I owe you. It's the interest."

He said, "Thank you for helping me back then, and now we are clear."

Bai Yi didn't accept the card, but reached out to touch him—he avoided it again

"I'll see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at ten o'clock tomorrow."

Chu Ming said, and opened the door.

This is the most obvious order to chase away guests, but Bai Yi sat on the sofa, motionless.

He whispered, "It's raining."

——As soon as the voice fell, the rain outside stopped.

Bai Yi: "..."

Chu Ming: "Boss Bai, please."

Under his urging, the man finally walked out of the door step by step, and turned his head to watch Chu Ming quietly until the latter closed the door without looking away.

There was a car parked downstairs in the community, and it never left overnight.

The next day, Chu Ming went out and saw the car downstairs.

Bai Yi sat in the driver's seat, his eyes were bloodshot after he hadn't rested all night.He opened the door and got out of the car, subconsciously wanting to get closer to Chu Ming, but stopped hesitantly.

Chu Ming walked past him without looking sideways. The morning air was cool, but he was still only wearing a thin overcoat, his soft hair fell down his shoulders, and his back was thin and slender.

He hailed a taxi outside the community, and Bai Yi followed along the way, keeping a close distance from him.

The two arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau almost at the same time, and basically did not communicate much when going through the divorce procedures.Only when he was leaving, Bai Yi took off his coat and wanted to put it on Chu Ming, but he pushed it away.

"No, I'm not cold."

He said lightly, "You should go back too. The company still needs you to manage the business after a three-month business trip."

——Bai Yi said before his business trip that he would be back in a month, but when he really came back, three full months had passed.

Three months is enough to make everything wrong.

Bai Yi stared at him blankly, and said after a while, "I'll see you off."

Chu Ming waved her hand: "No, I'll go back by myself."

Bai Yi immediately grabbed his wrist.

"Just this once,"

The man's voice was hoarse, revealing a deep sense of loss and sadness, "This is the last time...Chu Ming."

Chu Ming looked at him speechlessly—three years of marriage, at the end, it was nothing more than a thin certificate, and it was nothing more than such a sentence.

It was like a dream.

He broke free from Bai Yi's hand, and showed a faint smile to the person in front of him.

"We don't have a relationship anymore,"

He said, "So, no need."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Bai Yi's eyes turned red, but Chu Ming walked forward without looking back, slowly leaving him behind.

On the side of the street, a young man was walking on the road, and a car was following him a few meters behind him, unwilling to speed up, and never leaving.

This section of the road has been walking for more than ten minutes, until a car from the other side of the street drove over and stopped beside Chu Ming.

Bo Tang rolled down the car window and looked sideways at him: "Why are you alone on the street? Get in the car and I'll see you off."

Chu Ming froze for a moment, and said, "Thank you, no need."

"Come on, I just have something to tell you."

Bai Tang said, "It's related to "Twins."

"Twins" was filmed the day before yesterday, and it will soon enter the publicity stage.Chu Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally got into Baitang's car.

The car started and quickly left the street here.The car a few meters away was still in place, and the man in the driver's seat stared forward blankly, repeating in his mind the appearance of the young man when he left over and over again.

The invisible air seemed to condense into an extremely sharp dagger, held by the young man himself, and pierced into his chest together with the dagger handle.Blood flowed horizontally, the pain made him unable to speak, and every breath was filled with the smell of blood foam.

He finally lost the one he loved, and just when he wanted to do everything to get it back, that person withdrew, leaving him with a fading back.

He deserved it, he deserved it.

Now...he has nothing left.

-

The car was parked downstairs in the unit in the community, Chu Ming got out of the car, and heard Bai Tang laughing behind him: "Although I really want to go to your house to have a cup of tea, but there is still a meeting at the company, so I have to save this cheeky opportunity." It's next time."

Chu Ming smiled slightly after hearing this, and said, "You are welcome anytime."

Bai Tang froze for a moment, and his smile deepened: "This is just like the original you, go out and walk more when you have time, don't stay at home all the time."

Chu Ming: "Yes."

He sent Bai Tang away, and took the elevator back home alone.

Bang.

The door was closed, and the room was silent.Chu Ming pressed her back against the door and exhaled softly.

He stood in the entrance for a while, then took out a thin blanket from the room, and threw it on the sofa.

Because of this loss, something caught in the sofa was exposed a little.Chu Ming bent down and took it out, only to find that it was a small dark blue velvet box.

Lying quietly at the bottom of the box was a diamond ring, exactly the same style as the one Bai Yi was wearing now - it was the one belonging to Chu Ming among their wedding rings.

He took out the diamond ring, the diamond was shining brightly, and there were two small characters engraved on the inside of the silver diamond ring - "Bai Yi".

Three years ago, Bai Yi threw this ring in front of him, and in the next three years, he never touched it again.

"..."

Chu Ming looked at the ring silently, and finally put it away, planning to return it at the next opportunity.

The filming of "Twins" has been completed, and soon the crew will rush to various places for publicity.In the afternoon, he was standing by the balcony with a cup of coffee in his hand, looking down at the vague river view not far away.

The river view was beautiful after the rain. He originally wanted to spend the last afternoon of leisure like this, but just looking at it, he felt something was wrong.

There was a gaze fixed on him all the time, Chu Ming turned his head and saw Ji Ze leaning on his balcony, looking at him slowly with his chin in his hand.

Although the eyes were smiling, there was an indescribable weirdness in them.Chu Ming looked at him calmly and said, "What's the matter?"

Ji Ze: "It's nothing, I'm happy today, I see you look good."

Chu Ming: "Thank you."

He dropped this sentence, turned and went back to his room.

The next morning, it began to rain again outside.The raindrops were scurrying in the street with the cold air, Chu Ming hurried to the airport, and began to rush to various places with the crew to promote the movie.

The promotion lasted for more than a month, and finally landed in major theaters on the weekend, and it was officially released.

"Twins" does not have traffic florets or well-known actors, it mainly depends on the post-production publicity and the quality of the film itself.At the same time, there was also a movie starring several traffickers, which was much more topical than "Twins", and the box office exceeded 1000 million that day. In contrast, the box office of "Twins" barely exceeded [-] million.

In the first two days, the film schedule of "Twins" was low, and the box office was not satisfactory.But Chu Ming was not in a hurry, he was waiting for the opportunity.

Soon, the opportunity came. On the third day of its release, a well-known film critic published an eloquent review of "Twins", which attracted the attention of the public.After that, film critics successively raised praises and criticisms, but the voice of praise was far greater than that of belittling.Prior to this, "Twins" had received a lot of praise, which made it stand out among the films of the same period.Relying on its strong strength and evaluation, the box office of the movie quickly ignited like wildfire.

The box office of "Twins" quickly broke through 15 million, and then it went all the way.In two weeks since its release, it has already won [-] million yuan, and its momentum has not diminished since then. It has rushed to the number one position in the real-time box office, and finally succeeded in winning [-] billion box office when the movie was taken off the shelves. It is also above [-], which has become a new peak reached by low-cost movies in the past few years.

This result greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. Botang Company's first shot in the market was completely launched, and Yizhi also became really popular with this. The resource activities continued, and he was so busy that he didn't even have time for the production team's celebration banquet. To participate, I just called Chu Ming to express my thanks.

Chu Ming chatted with him for a few words and then hung up the phone. Compared to other people who were busy socializing, he was quite leisurely as a director. After the box office exploded, he rejected all invitations and activities, and took the plane back to the airport alone. at home.

In the beginning, he would take a walk in the garden of the community, but for some reason, he always met Ji Ze who also came out for a walk.After a few days, he was too lazy to go out, and only went out to do some shopping when the stock at home was running low—but as soon as he came back, he bumped into another person downstairs in the unit, Bai Yi.

"Bai Yi?"

The man who just got out of the car heard the voice behind him, stopped in his footsteps, and immediately turned his head.

Chu Ming's eyes shifted from his obviously well-matched clothes to the bright bouquet of fiery roses he was holding, and he knew that this person came to find Ji Ze specially.

He bypassed Bai Yi and walked into the unit building. After walking a few steps, the man quickly chased after him, saying, "Chu Ming."

After a few months, his voice is still hoarse and deep, like a sinking deep pool, and there is only desolation at a glance.

Chu Ming still stopped on the steps with one foot, and turned around: "Huh?"

He simply wore a smoky gray shirt today, and slim-fit jeans outlined his slender waist, especially the sideways curve that highlighted the curve of his waist to the fullest.The soft black hair hangs down, and there is a pleasing natural and elegant temperament between the eyebrows.

Bai Yi was stunned almost immediately, and didn't speak for a few seconds.But Chu Ming remembered something at this moment, and said: "If you have time later, please wait a moment, I have something to return to you."

His tone was calm and easy-going, Bai Yi was taken aback for a moment, and said hello.

The two entered the elevator together, during which time the man couldn't help but glance towards him, seeing that he didn't respond and was a little overwhelmed, he wanted to say something several times, but he couldn't say it in the end.

The elevator soon arrived at the eighth floor, and Bai Yi stepped into Chu Ming's house again after a few months. He sat on the sofa alone, and when Chu Ming returned to the room, he arranged the bouquet of 99 roses upright, and straightened his clothes. Collar, back straight.

When Chu Ming came out, he happened to see that he was about to put the roses in a more conspicuous position, and immediately rushed over to stop his movement, and put a small velvet box in his palm.

"Sorry to pay it back now,"

Chu Ming said, "Okay, you can go."

"..."

The man froze in place immediately, his eyes were just lit up with a little light, and then went out in a blink of an eye.

Chu Ming: "Don't you want to go? Ji Ze is just across the way."

"I……"

Bai Yi whispered, "I didn't come to look for him."

Chu Ming laughed when he heard the words: "Then he came to see me? It's a pity that we have nothing to do with each other, so we can't respond to you."

He seemed to have simply made a joke with Bai Yi, but the man's breath was stagnant because of that sentence, and he took a step back uncontrollably.

Even if Chu Ming sneered at him, he could still comfort himself, thinking that at least the other party would still be angry because of him and still care about him.

But now, Chu Ming just smiled at him, and mentioned the past without any barriers—just like treating an ordinary friend, or even just a stranger who had a brief encounter.

The young man was far more decisive than he imagined, and had even completely let go.

Bai Yi suddenly grabbed Chu Ming's hand. At that moment, his eyes were confused and embarrassed, and then turned into deep sadness, like a wolf that lost its partner overnight, and could only claw at its bloody paws. Roaring helplessly.

Chu Ming didn't realize it, and looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"..."

Bai Yi shook his head wordlessly, his arms slowly lowered, and with his head lowered, he walked out step by step with his own flowers and rings, and finally disappeared outside the door.

Chu Ming looked at the back of the man going away, and the smile on his face gradually subsided.

At this moment, the door on the opposite side opened, and Ji Ze looked at him for a few seconds across the aisle, and suddenly smiled inexplicably.

It's hard to tell if the smile was mocking or something else, because he quickly followed Bai Yi's footsteps and left Chu Ming's sight.
