Chapter 53. Divorce of Parents

After the National Day holiday, Qingying went back to school. Before leaving, she promised Shen Rulan that she would study another subject seriously.

After the holiday, on the first day of work at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Shen Rulan called and asked Qu Tao to come out to go through the divorce procedures.

In the evening, Ruoning returned to Qu's house after work. When she walked into the hall, she saw the familiar green book on the table. She was stunned for a moment and saw Shen Rulan coming out of the room holding a cardboard box.

Ruoning went up to help her, and when she lowered her head, she saw that they were all Qu Tao's books and clothes.

"Pack it out and wait for him to come get it." Shen Rulan said calmly.

Ruo Ning saw that Shen Rulan's mood was as normal and she didn't say anything more. She thought she could understand the feeling of ending her marriage. Shen Rulan's mood at the moment was probably more sorrow than death, and when she was dead, she felt sad. The most peaceful.

The two placed the cardboard box at the entrance, where two boxes were already stacked. All the marks of his life here for so many years were sealed in these boxes.

Shen Rulan went into the kitchen to cook and asked Ruoning, "Has the matter at Shaochen Company been resolved?"

"Probably." Ruoning is not very clear, but recently there are no negative news about Hengyu in the newspapers, and it was also revealed that Hengyu secretly donated money to build 20 hope primary schools in the past few years. The public opinion crisis can be regarded as overdue. pass.

"Although you are busy with work now, don't ignore Shaochen." Shen Rulan's affection for Ren Shaochen has skyrocketed since the funeral of Mrs. Shen, and she regards him as a family member from the bottom of her heart.

"Yeah." Seeing Shen Rulan's behavior, Ruoning found it even more difficult to tell her that she had divorced Ren Shaochen.

"That kid Shaochen doesn't talk much. He keeps everything in his heart. You should pay more attention to him." Shen Rulan saw that Ruoning seemed to be careless and muttered another sentence.

Ruoning almost wanted to blurt out the divorce, but remembered the doctor's instructions and held it back. She was already so angry about what happened to Qingying last time, and she didn't dare to imagine what would happen if she revealed this.

After Shen Rulan soaked her hands, she started washing rice and vegetables.

The doorbell rang, Ruoning went to open the door and saw Ren Shaochen standing outside the door with one hand diagonally inserted into the pocket of his suit pants.

"Is this Shaochen here?" Shen Rulan asked loudly in the kitchen.

"Mom." Ren Shaochen called outside the door, then lowered his voice and said to Ruoning: "Mom asked me to come."

Ruoning let go of her frown, took a step back, and let Ren Shaochen walk in.

Ren Shaochen walked in with a slight smile, Ruoning thought strangely, what is he going to do? He didn't come here as often as he does now before the divorce.

After Ren Shaochen came in, he unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt and rolled up the sleeves to his elbows. Ruoning looked at him puzzledly and saw him walking into the kitchen and saying to Shen Rulan: "Mom, let me help you."

Ruoning stood outside the kitchen, waiting for Ren Shaochen to be kicked out by Shen Rulan. Unexpectedly, Shen Rulan accepted his offer and even chatted with him.

Ruoning went in, walked behind Ren Shaochen, pulled his shirt, and asked in a low voice: "What on earth are you doing?"

"I'm shaving the fish scales." Ren Shaochen looked back at her and said in a soft voice: "Go out and wait, don't get your clothes dirty."

When Shen Rulan heard Ren Shaochen say this, she smiled slightly, looking very pleased.

Ruoning went out of the kitchen and sat and waited in the living room. Not long after, Ren Shaochen came out with the cooked fish and sat next to Ruoning.

"Don't make things more complicated, okay?" Ruoning whispered to him. She felt that Ren Shaochen's behavior would make Shen Rulan get closer to him, which would cause their divorce to have a greater impact on Shen Rulan. big.

"I want to simplify things." Ren Shaochen looked at Ruoning and smiled calmly.

Ruoning didn't understand what he meant and was about to ask when Shen Rulan came out with a tray. Ren Shaochen got up to pick it up and brought out the dishes and put them away.

The three of them sat down, and Shen Rulan first brought food to Ren Shaochen. This move made Ruoning even more worried, and she frowned at Ren Shaochen.

"Thank you, Mom." Ren Shaochen smiled at Ruoning and gave her some fish meat, saying, "This fish is very fresh."

Ruoning lowered her head to eat, and kicked Ren Shaochen under the table to signal him to stop.

Naturally, Shen Rulan didn't know about their little moves. Seeing their closeness, she felt a little happier.

After dinner, Shen Rulan cleared the dishes, and Ruoning took Ren Shaochen to the balcony.

"What on earth are you going to do!" Ruoning looked up at Ren Shaochen and asked in a low voice.

Ren Shaochen lowered his eyes, looked into Ruoning's black eyes, and said calmly: "Didn't the doctor say that my mother's heart is not good and she should try not to be irritated? Keeping her in a happy mood will help her body."

"But what should we do in the future?" Ruoning knew that Ren Shaochen was right, but in the long run, continuing like this was not an option at all.

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? The present moment is more important." Ren Shaochen shrugged.

"Wrong logic." Ruoning couldn't argue, so she could only snort and said: "I will find the right time to tell you, don't do unnecessary things anymore."

"A Ning..." Ren Shaochen whispered her name with stars twinkling in his eyes.

At this time, the doorbell rang, Ruoning stepped out of the balcony first and went to open the door.

When she saw Qu Tao, her face darkened. Without calling him, she directly pointed her hand and said, "All your things are packed."

"Ruoning, don't be like this." Qu Tao sighed softly, knowing that he felt sorry for Shen Rulan, which caused Ruoning's current attitude, and he wanted to ease the relationship between them.

"Do you need me to help you move?" Ruoning asked expressionlessly.

Seeing that there was no room for change in Ruoning's attitude, Qu Tao felt sour and bent down to pick up a box.

Ren Shaochen came out and bent down to give one a hug.

Ruoning looked at the remaining one, leaned over and picked her up, and the three of them went out together and took the elevator downstairs.

Qu Tao's car was parked outside the community. After putting the three boxes into the trunk, Ruoning turned around and walked back without saying anything.

"Shaochen, you can take care of them." Qu Tao patted Ren Shaochen on the shoulder.

Ren Shaochen was silent and nodded. He did not agree with Qu Tao's behavior or the way he handled it, but out of respect for his elders, it was not appropriate for him to say anything.

After watching Qu Tao leave and drive away, Ren Shaochen turned and walked towards the building, and found that Ruoning was still standing at the entrance, looking at the direction in which Qu Tao drove away.

After all, it was the relationship between father and daughter. Ren Shaochen knew that Ruoning's heart was not as cold as she showed.

"Go up." Ren Shaochen reached out and took Qu Ruoning's hand.

Ruoning regained her composure, pulled away her hand unnaturally, and walked straight to the elevator.

Back home, Shen Rulan was standing by the window sill. Ruoning walked over and followed her gaze. The car had already driven far away and disappeared.

She put her arms around Shen Rulan's shoulders and said, "Mom, it's cold at night, so go in."
