After Gu Nian said goodbye to Si Xue and returned home, she found that there was a pair of women's leather shoes on the shoe rack.
She sighed tiredly, it looked like her mother-in-law Du Yanqiu was here.
It's a pity that she has already come in and can't turn around and go out again.
A look of remorse flashed across Gu Nian's face, and she bravely changed her shoes.
Du Yanqiu was sitting on the sofa, watching TV and eating melon seeds. He turned around when he heard the door open, and then continued watching TV as if nothing had happened.
Gu Nian wanted to go back to the room directly, but the master bedroom was inside and he had to pass by the sofa, so it was impossible to avoid it.
She had no choice but to walk over and say calmly: "Mom, why are you here?"
"What!" Du Yanqiu glanced at her, "I can't come to my son's home?"
An awkward yet polite smile appeared on Gu Nian's face, "Yes, of course I can."
Du Yanqiu snorted coldly and stared at the TV, "Don't you know, Shi Qian has a beautiful and capable first love who has already come back."
Gu Nian lowered his eyes and said nothing.
"It's really not that I don't like you..." Du Yanqiu glanced at Gu Nian with a complicated expression, "It's that you and Shi Qian are from two different worlds. Why don't you get divorced as soon as possible while you are young?"
Gu Nian suddenly felt that he couldn't bear it any longer and said, "He and I are going to divorce this morning."
Du Yanqiu was stunned for a moment, and then all the impatience in his body was immediately swept away, and he said in surprise: "Really?!"
She has said this so many times overtly and covertly in the past few years, but this woman has no reaction at all. Now is she finally willing to let go?
Gu Nian looked at her undisguised excitement and said in a neutral tone: "But your son broke the appointment."
The joy on Du Yanqiu's face froze, and then he said: "Impossible!"
Gu Nian wants to get a divorce, but it's too late for his son to be happy. How could he break the promise?
Although he had been quite good to this woman in the past few years, Du Yanqiu knew that it was all because of responsibility and he had no feelings.
Gu Nian curled his lips, and the expression on his face clearly said, if you don't believe it, just ask him yourself.
Then, regardless of Du Yanqiu's reaction, he went straight back to his room.
Du Yanqiu looked at her back for a long time and couldn't recover, then he took out his cell phone and called Lu Shiqian.
She really didn’t believe this at all!
As soon as Lu Shiqian came out of the shower, he was questioned by his mother: "Gu Nian wanted to divorce you, but you didn't go?!"
He raised his hand and pinched the center of his brow, "...I was temporarily delayed by something."
Du Yanqiu became happy and said, "Don't be confused as to what is important about divorce. Hurry up and get the procedures done. Why are you procrastinating? Won't you be free once you do it?"
Lu Shiqian's face suddenly turned cold when he heard her voice, and he said in a deep voice: "I will handle it, Mom, please don't interfere."
The displeasure in his tone made Du Yanqiu stunned. Before he could react, the person on the other end had already hung up the phone.
Lu Shiqian threw his cell phone on the bed, picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.
His mother would know about the divorce, it could only be because Gu Nian took the initiative to tell her.
Huh, what about it?
Is it because he is afraid that if he delays for too long, others will come out to rush him?
Aren't you going to wait for that man?
Or do you have a new love senior, so you are anxious to end the marriage?
…
Over the weekend, Gu Nian went back to Lu's house alone.
Lin Miao gave her a jewelry box and pretended to be mysterious: "Open it and take a look."
Gu Nian reached out and took it, only to see that among it was a jade bracelet of excellent quality, grown in excellent water, with light pink threads like clouds and mist in the mountains, so light that they would float out at any time.
Even a layman like Gu Nian could tell at a glance that it was expensive.
"I was traveling with my friends a few days ago and accidentally saw this bracelet. I thought it was perfect for you, so I bought it directly."
Gu Nian carefully put the box down, "Aunt Lin, this is too valuable, I can't accept it."
"Tsk."
Lin Miao snorted dissatisfied, took the bracelet without any explanation, took Gu Nian's hand and put it on her.
"What are you talking about? Not to mention that this bracelet isn't worth much. It's just ridiculously expensive. You should keep it!"
Lu Qiming also echoed, "You are the daughter-in-law of our Lu family, and this is your home. The things your parents give you are always what they should be. There is no such thing as valuable or not."
Gu Nian lowered his eyes and looked at the bracelet on his hand, feeling an indescribable sadness in his heart.
She has always known that Father Lu and Aunt Lin really like her, but now, she feels a little ashamed of this love.
Because she and Lu Shiqian will divorce soon.
Gu Nian cleared her throat and prepared to tell them about the divorce.
But at this moment, the door opened.
Then Lu Shiqian's tall figure walked in.
Lin Miao also looked at him in surprise, "Why is Shi Qian here at this time?"
Lu Shiqian glanced at Gu Nian on the sofa and said calmly: "I went to Beicheng to participate in a forum, and I came right here when I came back."
Gu Nian didn't look at him, but obviously it was not a good time to talk about divorce at this time.
After chatting casually for a few words, Lu Qiming suddenly said seriously: "By the way, there is something I want to tell you."
Lu Shiqian and Gu Nian looked at him at the same time, making Lu Qiming a little uncomfortable.
"In half a month, it will be my 20th wedding anniversary with your Aunt Lin. I didn't hold a wedding for her back then, so I just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have a big one."
"That's a good thing!"
Gu Nian was sincerely happy.
Lu Shiqian also had a rare smile on his face: "I wish you a happy wedding anniversary."
Lu Qiming also laughed: "What's the use of just wishing? You two should come over and help me when the time comes."
Gu Nian's expression froze and she subconsciously glanced at Lu Shiqian, but he didn't look at her.
After dinner, the two went home together.
Lu Shiqian drove a car from Lu Zhai. Gu Nian was sitting in the passenger seat, hesitating about what to say.
From the corner of his eye, he noticed Gu Nian's tangled expression, and his hands on the steering wheel tightened unconsciously.
Lu Shiqian cleared his throat, "Dad and Aunt Lin are getting ready for a wedding. As juniors, we shouldn't spoil their fun. Is it acceptable for us to get divorced after their wedding?"
Gu Nian didn't know why, "You can also divorce first without telling them. Even if you get divorced, I will attend their wedding with you."
Lu Shiqian said coldly: "The household registration is with dad."
Gu Nian fell silent.
Do you have to wait again...
Lu Shiqian frowned, "They all like you very much. We finally have a happy event at home. If we suddenly get divorced now... you don't want to make them unhappy, right?"
Gu Nian still lowered his head and remained silent.
After a while, she suddenly answered something unexpected: "Aunt Lin gave me a bracelet today."
Lu Shiqian glanced at her hand. The fine spring colored jadeite should be quite rare.
He didn't know why Gu Nian suddenly mentioned this, turned around and drove seriously, "It suits you very well."
Gu Nian chuckled lightly, "Aunt Lin said the same."
She paused and compromised: "Then... let's go through the divorce procedures after they finish the wedding."
Lu Shiqian turned his head to look at Gu Nian. She was sitting in her seat very obediently, stroking the jade bracelet casually with her right hand.
He looked away, and suddenly, he raised his lips and smiled.
