After leaving his father behind, the son of a prominent figure in Beijing's elite circles has g

Lu Peichuan looked at Rong Zheng sincerely, "Zhengzheng, betraying you was wrong of me, but you are the only one I love. I will cut off all contact with her and never see her again. Let's not get a divorce, okay?"

Rong Zheng shook her head. "No, from the moment you betrayed me, our fate was irreversible."

Lu Peichuan wanted to hold Rong Zheng's hand, but she avoided him. "After she returned to China, she kept harassing me. That day in the bamboo forest, she threatened to kill herself, so I went to see her."

It takes two to tango.

"You're pregnant, and I'm worried about your health, so I've been refraining from touching you. She kept pestering me, and I was momentarily blinded by greed, which is why I did something wrong. To me, she's just a tool for physical release. I've only ever loved you."

Rong Zheng didn't want to hear his excuses. "There's no point in you saying all this now. If you still have feelings for me, then agree to the divorce."

Lu Peichuan shook his head, "I won't get a divorce." After saying that, he blocked all of Su Qingya's contact information in front of Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng found it laughable. "Lu Peichuan, even if you never contact or see her again, it doesn't change the fact that you slept together. You're tainted. I don't want you anymore, understand?"

Lu Peichuan's face paled slightly, especially the word "dirty," which felt like a sharp arrow piercing his heart, yet he had no way to refute it.

After a pause, he said, "I know this has been a big blow to you. I don't expect you to forgive me right away, but I will prove my determination to you with my actions. I have things to do at the company, so I'll be going now." Without giving Rong Zheng a chance to speak, he got up and left quickly.

Rong Zheng reprinted the divorce agreement, signed it, and waited for Lu Peichuan to return. She waited until 11 p.m., but he didn't come back. He didn't answer her calls or reply to her messages.

The next day, Rong Zheng woke up, washed up, and went to the children's room to see her daughter.

The daughter was already awake. Xu Ma placed her in the rocking cradle and played with her using a rattle. When she saw Rong Zheng come in, she immediately smiled and said, "Madam, you're awake. Mr. Lu bought you some gifts, which are all in the living room downstairs. Go and take a look."

"He's back?"

"No, the gift was delivered by Assistant Xue. Assistant Xue also said that the company has been too busy lately, and President Lu was worried that coming back too late would affect your and Miss's rest, so he is sleeping at the company for the time being."

Is he running away?

Rong Zheng nodded to indicate that she understood, turned around and left the children's room. Downstairs, she saw many gift boxes on the coffee table in the living room, containing jewelry, watches, designer bags, limited-edition clothes and shoes…

It is dazzling and radiant.

He bought her gifts to make her happy, then stayed away from home to temporarily escape the divorce, thinking that after a few days, she would calm down, see his sincerity, and change her mind.

It seems he still doesn't understand her enough.

She either doesn't bring it up at all, or if she does, she won't change her mind.

She was unwilling to take him to court unless absolutely necessary. After all, he was Tangtang's father, and the two had once truly loved each other. She just wanted to be strangers to him from now on, rather than tearing each other apart and fighting to the death.

She wanted to leave Tangtang with a semblance of dignity.

Since he's not coming back, he'll go to the company to find him.

After having breakfast, Rong Zheng took the divorce papers and went out.

When she arrived at the company, Xue Bai told her that Lu Peichuan had gone out to discuss business. She felt that Lu Peichuan was deliberately avoiding her, but after searching the company, she couldn't find him, so she sat in the president's office and waited.

She waited until noon but no one showed up. Worried about her daughter, she had no choice but to go home.

You can dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth.

He couldn't keep avoiding her forever.

In the afternoon, Rong Zheng received a call from Bai Yuxiu, "Shi Yan is leaving tonight. You and Pei Chuan should go back to the old house and have a meal with him."

Lu Peichuan certainly wouldn't dare to miss having dinner with Song Shiyan.

Rong Zheng felt that God was on her side. "I will be there on time, but Lu Peichuan is not answering my calls right now. You should contact him."

Why isn't Pei Chuan answering your calls?

"Because I want to be with him..." The word "divorce" was on the tip of Rong Zheng's tongue, but she swallowed it back because she suddenly remembered that Song Shiyan was still in Jiangcheng.

He can't know about the divorce yet; if a powerful figure gets involved, the divorce will be much more difficult to finalize.

"What do you want to do with him?" Bai Yuxiu asked.

"I want to argue with him."

Bai Yuxiu probably didn't expect her to say that. She paused for two seconds, then her sharp voice came through, "You're not still arguing with him about Tangtang's illness, are you? How can you be so narrow-minded? Is this trivial matter worth getting angry about for so long?"

Troublesome matters?

An incarcerated hernia can be life-threatening if it gets serious, yet Bai Yuxiu thinks it's a trivial matter?

That's fine. Bai Yuxiu never really cared about Tangtang as her granddaughter, so why should she bother with her?

Rong Zheng didn't reply and hung up the phone directly.

This was the first time she had hung up on Bai Yuxiu. In the past, no matter how much Bai Yuxiu scolded or picked on her, she would at most ignore her out of respect for Lu Peichuan, but she would never hang up the phone.

Now that she's getting a divorce from Lu Peichuan, she naturally doesn't have to put up with this humiliation anymore.

After hanging up the phone, Rong Zheng began packing her and her daughter's things. Since they were getting a divorce tonight, she definitely couldn't stay here any longer. She had discussed this with Luo Qinghe beforehand.

She originally planned to rent a place to stay first, but Luo Qinghe disagreed, saying that she would be going to study at the First Affiliated Hospital of Beijing soon and might develop her career in Beijing in the future, so why bother renting a place? She could just stay at her house.

Rong Zheng didn't hesitate and agreed.

Seeing Rong Zheng packing Tangtang's things, Xu Ma asked in confusion, "Madam, didn't we just come back from the hospital? Why are you packing again?"

Rong Zheng put down what she was holding and looked at Xu Ma seriously. "Xu Ma, I'm getting a divorce from Lu Peichuan and I'll be moving out tonight. Would you like to come with me? I'll still pay your salary."

Mrs. Xu looked on incredulously. "You want to divorce President Lu?"

"Um."

"Why would you want a divorce when everything was going so well? Mr. Lu treated you so well, and he was so good to Miss Lu too..."

Rong Zheng interrupted her, "He cheated on me."

Xu Ma was dumbfounded for a long time. Although she found it hard to believe, she knew that Rong Zheng was not the type to talk nonsense and she knew her own identity, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"After the divorce, I'll be going to Beijing. If you're willing to come with me, I'll take you there too." Rong Zheng will need to work and will definitely need help taking care of the child. She trusts Xu Ma and naturally hopes she can come with her, but this isn't a small matter. "Think it over, discuss it with your family..."

"I'll go with you," Xu's mother said excitedly. "Actually, my daughter also works in Beijing. If she goes to Beijing, I can visit her more often."

Rong Zheng felt relieved. It's not easy to find a trustworthy nanny these days. "Alright, you pack your things too. We'll move out tonight."
