C324 Resolve to Divorce
"What?" Lin Lang, what did you just say? I think I heard wrong. " Xue Hengyuan muttered as he looked at Lin Lang in shock.
As for her father, Lin's mother, who was sitting at the side, there was a grave expression on her face as well. They remained silent and did not speak. After all, they hadn't expected Lin Lang to have such a strong desire for a divorce.
With Lin's mother's help earlier, Lin Lang had already sat up. At this moment, she leaned against the pillow behind her and looked at Xue Hengyuan at her side. The smile on her face carried some politeness and estrangement as she slowly said, "Uncle Xue, you didn't hear wrongly just now — since you suspect that you heard wrongly, I'll say it again. I, Lin Lang, want to divorce Xue Zhaowu. "
Hearing this, Xue Hengyuan's originally unsightly expression became even uglier. Now, Lin Lang had even changed her title to him. It seemed that she wasn't purposefully trying to scare Xue Zhaowu, but was sincerely intending to divorce Xue Zhaowu.
Honestly speaking, Xue Hengyuan was quite satisfied with Lin Lang as his daughter-in-law. In the past few days of interaction, he and Qiao Lixin could also tell that Lin Lang was sincere towards Xue Zhaowu. But now, Lin Lang had taken the initiative to ask for a divorce. Then...
Xue Hengyuan had a serious expression on his face. Lin Family people didn't tell him how Lin Lang miscarried, but it seemed that the matter regarding Lin Lang's miscarriage was definitely related to Xue Zhaowu.
He turned around and looked at Xue Zhaowu, who was standing at the side, with an extremely cold expression. Just as he was about to stand up and make his move, Lin Lang interrupted him, "Uncle Xue, the matter of my miscarriage has nothing to do with Xue Zhaowu."
Hearing that, Xue Hengyuan turned around and looked at Lin Lang. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
As for Xue Zhaowu, he looked at Lin Lang's expression with a puzzled expression. Lin Lang falling down the stairs had nothing to do with him. After all, he wasn't the one who pushed her down. However, at that time, if Lin Lang hadn't come after him, she wouldn't have fallen down the stairs.
He thought that if Lin Lang miscarried, she would definitely scold him or make things difficult for him. But now, Lin Lang had spoken out to help him, causing him to feel slightly upset.
Lin Lang looked at her parents at one side and then looked at Xue Hengyuan at the other. She said slowly, "I know that Xue Zhaowu and I were not willing to marry at all. And I married him for the sake of my reputation. Now that that matter has been settled, there is no longer any need for us to continue our marriage — that is why I am proposing a divorce at this time. "
"But, Lin Lang …" Xue Hengyuan wanted to persuade her, but was stopped by Lin Lang.
"Uncle Xue, I know what you want to say." If Xue Zhaowu and I were to get divorced, then I would be a divorced person in the future. People in our circle would inevitably be criticized by others, "Lin Lang slowly said," However, I have already started to get over it. If you care too much about the gazes of others, you will only be unhappy. "
"Lin Lang, why don't you reconsider?" Lin's mother looked at her daughter and said bitterly. The matter between Lin Lang and Xue Zhaowu was so big at the time, and the matter of their marriage was known by the entire city. Lin Lang is still so young. If she were to get divorced, the ones who marry again in the future might not be as outstanding as Xue Zhaowu.
Although Lin Family didn't lack money and Lin Lang was outstanding, she was worried that the man that Lin Lang married again was most likely because of Lin Family's wealth. He didn't have any sincerity towards Lin Lang. Most importantly, she was worried that after this marriage, Lin Lang would either stop believing in love and would end up lonely and old, or she would easily fall into the men's concern for her and lose the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. In the end, she would only be the one to break her own heart.
"Mom, I've already said that I don't need to think about this matter anymore because I have already thought it through." Lin Lang looked at her mother and sighed. "I'm already an adult. I know the consequences of this decision. I also have the confidence to face what happened after that."
Seeing how determined Lin Lang was, Xue Hengyuan said from the side, "Since it's a matter between them, then let them discuss it among themselves. Why don't we leave it for now and let them talk."
Hearing that, on the other side, Mr. Lin and Lin's mother also felt the same way. Thus, the three of them left the ward one after another, leaving behind only Lin Lang and Xue Zhaowu. Before he left, Xue Hengyuan didn't forget to give Xue Zhaowu a look so that he could quickly think of a way to get Lin Lang's forgiveness so that he could take back this decision.
"You …"
"You …"
The two of them looked at each other and spoke at the same time.
"You first."
"You first."
The two of them said at the same time.
Lin Lang could not help but smile bitterly. She and Xue Zhaowu probably only seemed to have the same thoughts now.
The two of them looked at each other and did not speak for a long time. It was as if they were waiting for the other party to speak first.
Finally, Lin Lang's voice broke the tense silence. She looked at Xue Zhaowu without any expression and said slowly, "Have you found Jing Sung?"
Seeing that the first thing Lin Lang said to him was actually for this matter, Xue Zhaowu's first thought was that Lin Lang was holding a grudge from last night. He looked at Lin Lang. He didn't tell her that he had spent the night in the car. Instead, he said slowly, "I haven't found her whereabouts."
Hearing this, Lin Lang had a complicated expression on her face. Soong Shiyan's worry, disappointment with Xue Zhaowu, and helplessness with her wavering heart.
"Oh." She answered lightly.
"After getting divorced from me, you recovered your bachelor status. That way, you can go chase after Jing Sung —" Lin Lang looked at Xue Zhaowu as a faint smile appeared on her face as she spoke slowly.0
Seeing that Lin Lang had even planned what would happen after the divorce for him, Xue Zhaowu's mood became complicated.
However, the smile on Lin Lang's face held a trace of profoundness. She looked out of the window at the blazing sun and said slowly, "But, I think, perhaps you will never have the chance to be with Jing Sung in this life."
"What do you mean?" Hearing that, Xue Zhaowu couldn't help but blurt out.
Lin Lang couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart when she saw Xue Zhaowu asking for the reason. At this point, does she still have a sliver of hope for Xue Zhaowu? Forget it. She and Xue Zhaowu were fated to be together after all. Why would she want to stay any longer?
"Have you forgotten that I'm Jing Sung's good friend?" Lin Lang looked at Xue Zhaowu and said leisurely, "If Jing Sung knew that I fell down to pursue you, that's why I failed to save the child in my womb. In the end, I even got divorced — do you think Jing Sung would accept your kind intentions?"
Lin Lang already knew from the servant's mouth that the reason Xue Zhaowu married her was because Shiyan went to see Xue Zhaowu and said something to him. More importantly, she was Shiyan's best friend in this world.
If Soong Shiyan knew that the reason for all this was her, then no matter how much she liked Xue Zhaowu, she would never be together with him — because Lin Lang clearly knew Soong Shiyan's personality. Under her guilt, she would never forgive herself, much less be together with Xue Zhaowu.
Hearing that, Xue Zhaowu did not show any expression on his face. He couldn't help but recall the words that Soong Shiyan had said to him back then. At that time, she said that she wasn't Dijin, but rather the woman whom Dijin had saved under the West Region.
But back then, he had thought that this was Dijin's plan to force her to marry Lin Lang — after all, he knew a bit about the organization's surveillance skills. Therefore, he thought that Dijin was only able to say those words because she had secretly overheard their conversation.
Xue Zhaowu was thinking about this, so he didn't say anything. As for Lin Lang, she saw that Xue Zhaowu didn't say anything, so she didn't know what to say anymore.
After a long while, she finally said, "About our divorce …"
Hearing Lin Lang's words about the divorce, Xue Zhaowu finally came back to his senses. He looked at Lin Lang and muttered, "You …"
However, he was interrupted by Lin Lang before he could finish. "Regarding the divorce procedures, I will handle them after I leave the hospital. When the time comes, I will have someone hand over the divorce agreement to you and you can seal it."
Hearing Lin Lang's words, Xue Zhaowu felt a bit uncomfortable. He let out a long sigh and didn't say anything.
"Xue Zhaowu, even though our marriage wasn't successful, we were still fated to be together. It's good to be able to get a divorce now … However, I hope that we won't meet again after the divorce."
"Why?" Seeing that Lin Lang was determined not to get involved with him anymore, Xue Zhaowu felt a twinge of pain in his heart and mumbled to himself.
"Why? To say 'goodbye' to the past, of course! " Lin Lang looked at Xue Zhaowu. The smile on her face was so casual that Xue Zhaowu was at a loss of what to do.
After being discharged from the hospital this time, I will directly return to my home. As for the luggage I took from Xue Family, I don't want it anymore. Lin Lang continued.
Xue Zhaowu stood on the spot as if he was stuck in a lump in his throat, unable to say a word. After a long period of silence, he exerted all his strength and said, "I'm sorry."
Hearing Xue Zhaowu say "I'm sorry", Lin Lang couldn't help but tear up. Fortunately, she managed to hold it in and didn't let herself lose her composure. Perhaps, if Xue Zhaowu had said that he wanted her to stay at this time, she might have held onto that last bit of luck and withdrawn her previous decision.
However, what made her disappointed was that Xue Zhaowu didn't do anything, nor did he say any words of urging her to stay.
"Alright, we've finally come to an agreement on the divorce. I'm a bit tired, so you should go — tell them not to come in. I need to rest properly." Lin Lang looked at Xue Zhaowu and reached out her hand to adjust the bed. However, she accidentally pulled on the lower half of her body, causing her some pain.
"Let me do it." Seeing that, Xue Zhaowu walked to Lin Lang's bedside and shook the bed for her.
Lin Lang looked at Xue Zhaowu's gentle expression. Her heart was moved, but in the end, she still let out a silent sigh.
"Farewell, Xue Zhaowu." Lin Lang looked at Xue Zhaowu, revealing the most brilliant smile in her life, and said slowly, "Never, ever."
After saying that, she stretched out her hand to let the thin blanket tightly cover her entire body. At the same time, tears also welled up in her eyes.
Xue Zhaowu stood by the sickbed and looked at Lin Lang who was tightly covered by the blanket. He was silent for a long time. "See you."
After saying this, he seemed to have lost all of his strength. With heavy steps, he walked towards the outside in a daze.
