Difficult to return

Song Guoqiang asked Lu Mingchen why he wanted a divorce, and if there was something about Song Shuhua that dissatisfied him.As long as he speaks out, his mother will communicate with Song Shuhua well, and let him correct any bad things.They are all grown-ups and cannot be as willful as children.

Hearing what his father-in-law said, Lu Mingchen felt disgusted.Suddenly, he had an intuitive feeling about the harm Song Shuhua had said about his family.

Lu Mingchen refused, and only said that he would communicate well with Song Shuhua, and the final result would be based on the consensus reached by the two of them.In addition, he wanted to resign as the general manager of Zihua.

Although Song Guoqiang managed to maintain his superficial composure, he was actually in a mess because of his last sentence.

After learning that he didn't join other rival units or plan to start anew, Song Guoqiang only advised him not to get divorced impulsively. Even if divorced, this marriage and career don't have to be bound.Playing the family card again, even if he is no longer with Song Shuhua, the Song family has long regarded him as a member, and he also treats him as his own child, and can give him some shares in the company.

But at the moment Song Shuhua was determined to divorce him, Lu Mingchen couldn't find a reason to stay in Zihua.

As the family's economic pillar these years, he believes that his minimum responsibility is to provide his family with a good and stable material life.And Song Shuhua's family is also his own family, so he has no complaints about working hard to make money for them.

When the divorce was in front of him, he suddenly had nothing.Without responsibility, without motivation, what you want to achieve has already been achieved, and what you can't get will eventually be impossible to get.He needs to stop for a while, rethink what he wants to do, and how to live the days to come.

Seeing that he was very determined, once the relationship between him and Song Shuhua was gone, Song Guoqiang would have no way to tie him down, and only begged him not to leave Zihua so suddenly, and give them some time to come up with the next plan.

In the end, Lu Mingchen still promised to stay in Zihua until Song Guoqiang found a suitable general manager, and he also put forward conditions. No matter what happened in the end, he hoped that they would respect his and Song Shuhua's decision.

The news that Zihua's top management was about to change spread like wildfire, and everyone inside was panicked.There have been two batches of new professional managers, and they all left because of conflicts with the sales managers below.

Song Qingxue was assigned here as the chief financial officer, pointing fingers all day long without understanding farts, making the financial department miserable and miserable.

Lu Mingchen is an outsider now, how could the directors of the Song family trust him.For the complaints below, he can only say that this is the decision of the board of directors, and he can't help it.

Lu Mingchen was in a bad mood and couldn't leave. He had to see Song Qingxue who he hated the most. Every day he stayed in Zihua was torture.

He just wanted to leave Zihua as soon as possible, leave City A, leave this place that occupied the most important time of his life and finally made him disheartened.

He wants to go back to his hometown for a while, and then go see the outside world.Maybe during the journey, he can give up something, get something, and realize something.Maybe you can heal yourself, maybe you can't, but it's better than sitting still.

At night, Lu Mingchen tossed and turned on the bed and still couldn't fall asleep, so he got up again and poured himself a glass of red wine.During this time he has been having some sleep problems and sometimes needs alcohol to fall asleep.

Lying back on the bed again, a message came in on the phone.He wondered who returned his message so late, picked up his phone, only saw a friend request.

For a moment, his mind went blank.He was very familiar with the other person's profile picture, but the memory of this person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. It took him half a minute to realize that this was Song Shuhua.

They divorced, but neither the phone nor the friend was deleted.They didn't turn against each other, and even had a good face-to-face talk until the end, as if they were no longer lovers, but they could still be friends. In fact, both of them agreed to stop contacting each other.

After clicking in, I found out that Song Shuhua didn't send it to his ex-husband, but to his netizen.

The friend request comes with a message——

[Can we meet up? 】

Lu Mingchen's first reaction was that Song Shuhua encountered some difficulties again and needed his help.After all, they have lived together for so many years, even if they are divorced, they can't really be like strangers. Lu Mingchen approved the application without any hesitation.

[Having trouble? 】

[No, I'm not in trouble. 】【I just want to meet you, is that okay? 】

Lu Mingchen was puzzled, just seeing each other?After deleting the person that time, Song Shuhua and his netizen hadn't contacted each other for half a year, but the other party suddenly said that they wanted to meet.

[I don't quite understand what "merely meeting" means. 】

There was a long silence over there, and they kept typing. Lu Mingchen thought he would send a long speech, but in the end there was only one sentence——

[I just want to meet your real person. 】

Lu Mingchen already felt something, which made him a little unhappy.He no longer wanted to have any interaction with Song Shuhua, it would only make him more painful.So what if we meet again, Song Shuhua will only find out that he is another liar.

[There is nothing to see. 】

The other side was suddenly a little anxious——

[I know that making this request will make it difficult for you. I also know that you have a lover. I don't want to destroy your relationship, and I can't. You know what I look like. I'm not as good as your lover, right? 】

[You also know that I like you.It's silly, isn't it, I've never seen it before, and I just fell into it so deeply.After you deleted me, I wanted to forget about you, let go of all this quickly, and I have been working hard these days.But I can't do it, really can't do it, it's too difficult, it's too painful. 】

Seeing Song Shuhua say these words to him, Lu Mingchen's whole heart still tugged, with mixed feelings and unbearable sourness.

[I didn't want to make you so sad. 】

It was just a moment of excitement on the Internet, Lu Mingchen thought Song Shuhua should have put it down long ago.And they got divorced, he thought that Song Shuhua was living the most free and happy life, for example, he could go to QUEEN to perform on stage every night from the feed.He thought that he was the only one suffering from pain.

Unexpectedly, Song Shuhua was suffering the same pain in another way.He also couldn't understand that Song Shuhua would be so devoted to a stranger on the Internet.

【You and I will meet once, just one time is fine.My friend said that my relationship is based on fantasy, and if I break the fantasy, it won't go on like this.Even if you still can't put it down immediately, it is easier to forget a real object than an imaginary object.No matter what the result is, I will never bother you again, please help me this last time. 】

the last time.

The sins done must be paid back. For the last time, let Song Shuhua get rid of the torment of imaginary lovers.For the last time, Song Shuhua completely hated him.

Well, that's it, anyway, the future life will be like a stranger, it doesn't matter whether the other party hates him or not.

[Okay, let's meet. 】

On the days of waiting to meet, Song Shuhua always took the initiative to talk to him.

On the day of the meeting, he would like him to wear men's clothes or women's clothes.Share some small everyday things, such as where you saw a joke, or encountered a funny thing.The delicacies and desserts made for him three times a day are exquisitely plated and arranged, showing his excellent cooking skills in an all-round way.

The day they met was the last moment when the two knew each other well. Before that, Song Shuhua was very indulgent and undisguised, wishing to give him all his feelings, completely abandoning his reserve and dignity.

Lu Mingchen just responded indifferently.He didn't feel that Song Shuhua's feelings were all for him, so he didn't have such extravagant expectations.He just looked at all this calmly as a third party on the sidelines, so that when the truth came, he would feel better.

He had never seen this side of Song Shuhua before, and he didn't know that he could be so proactive, even if he was treated coldly, his enthusiasm remained undiminished.

It turns out that everyone is the same, and no one has higher self-esteem than anyone else, and the only reason to have that unattainable attitude is because they don't love.

It's just that he didn't expect that in the end, he used this method to see Song Shuhua's appearance when he fell in love.

Pretty sad.

Also ugly.

Same as himself.

During this period, Lu Mingchen also received a call from a jewelry store.

The sweet voice of the female clerk: "Mr. Lu, the South Sea pearl necklace you ordered last time has arrived. I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long. Do you have time to come and have a look?"

"No, thanks."

Not wanting to lose a customer just like that, the clerk did not give up because of this rejection, but continued to introduce.

"The color of our batch of seawater beads is better than the previous batch. They are absolutely perfect round. Each bead is selected from thousands of flawless products. And the style of which one you like has also been adjusted. , shortened the length of the two beads, it must be very beautiful with your husband's swan neck.

"There are also some new ones that arrived with this batch. The drop-shaped platinum chain pendants are also very popular among young people. You can take a look with your husband. If you don't have time, we can also send a special salesman here. You send it over to try it on. Don’t worry, there is no charge for trying it on. When is it convenient for you?”

Today's Lu Mingchen was extraordinarily patient with the salesperson, and didn't answer until she had finished all the clichés: "My husband and I are already divorced."

"..."

"I'm sorry to ask you to call on purpose."

"No, no, I'm the one to apologize. I really bothered you."

"It's ok."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Mingchen let out a deep breath.

The necklace arrived too late, and like so many things in life, after that point, nothing makes sense.
