Wen Jiu cried all night and fell asleep just before dawn.
I hadn't slept long before I was woken up by a phone call.
She answered vaguely, and a gentle female voice came from the other end.
"Hello, Ms. Wen, I am a marriage mediator. I received the divorce application submitted by your husband today and learned that you are getting divorced. When will you have time to come to the center and give us a chance to mediate?
?”
Wen Jiu woke up instantly.
My heart, which had just calmed down, began to throb again.
Lu Jing really wants to be so decisive?
She just said last night that she would submit the application today, and she hasn’t even packed her luggage yet!
It took her a long time to recover. Since Lu Jing had reached this point, she no longer had to have any expectations and embarrass herself.
Now that the country has abolished the cooling-off period for marriage, it will arrange professional marriage mediators to analyze and resolve conflicts between couples who have filed for divorce.
But this is not mandatory and you don’t have to accept it.
Wen Jiu asked calmly: "Will Lu Jing accept mediation?"
The mediator said: "I won't accept it for now, but if you accept it, we will try our best to persuade him."
Wen Jiu's eyes darkened and her heart became colder, but even though she was in a bad mood, she still remained polite and said: "Thank you, but don't bother, we are hopeless."
No matter what his reasons were, the moment he chose to give up on her, they were hopeless.
The mediator did not try to dissuade you any more, and added: "Well, I'm sorry to see your marriage come to an end, but life is still long, and marriage is only a small part of life. I hope you will not sink into grief and reluctance, and welcome a new beginning as soon as possible.
life.”
Wen Jiu's heart softened. She really didn't expect that when she was sad, the first comfort she received was from a marriage mediator arranged by the state.
Not many people knew about her marriage, so no one would know about her divorce, and she didn't want to tell her parents right away to avoid worrying them.
Originally, she thought she would have to bear this sorrow alone, but fortunately, there is still a country that remembers her.
Loving a man can be wrong, but being patriotic can never be wrong.
She said sincerely: "Thank you, I will be strong."
The mediator said: "It's good if you can cheer up. We can also provide you with a free lawyer to prevent any injustice in the marriage and to protect your property. Do you need it?"
Wen Jiu sighed silently and replied: "Thank you, but I won't waste the lawyer's time. We have only been married for two months and there is not much common property to divide."
More importantly, after spending so much time with Lu Jing, Wen Jiu understood that even if he was emotionally tired, he was not someone who would covet her two months' salary.
He would never be like the male protagonist of a story about a married woman who married into a married woman and embezzled her property while keeping a concubine.
Even though they were separated, she still had this little trust in him.
On the contrary, she still owed him a lot... The villa that Lu Zhaoxiong gave them before had just been transferred to her name, and the money Lu Jing had exchanged for her father a while ago had not yet been repaid.
Wen Jiu didn't want to owe him either.
Find a time to have a good chat with him later, return the villa to him, and discuss the repayment date for dad's money, and she will help him pay it back.
The marriage mediator did not force her. Finally, she comforted her to cheer up soon and hung up the phone.
Wen Jiu wanted to sleep again, but she couldn't fall asleep anymore.
She also didn't want to stay at home and fall into endless mental internal conflict.
She logged into the social platform and wanted to read some online jokes to relax herself.
But with my state of mind here, nothing I look at seems funny at all.
After swiping and swiping, she suddenly saw an advertisement.
Apple has invited a national-level symphony orchestra to perform "Butterfly Lovers" at the National Center for the Performing Arts, and tickets are only 380.
Wen Jiu accidentally bought a ticket for the performance that started in two hours.
A sad love story like "Butterfly Lovers" is just right for her, not to mention the tickets are so cheap.
She simply packed up and headed to the National Center for the Performing Arts.
…
Wen Jiu arrived at the Grand Theater before the show started.
The concert hall is huge, but there are only a few people there.
Nowadays, few people like to listen to this time-honored symphony, and in fact, Wen Jiu doesn’t like it either.
She just wanted to find a place to distract herself and cry wildly again.
Soon, the musicians on the stage began to perform, and the melodious music made people cry.
She used to feel that "Butterfly Lovers" was not tragic, at least the two people turned into butterflies together and were still together.
But today, for the first time, she realized that this song was really so sad.
Because their love is not blessed by anyone and is not tolerated by society.
Her tears never stopped from the moment the first note sounded.
As she listened to the music, she thought about the lives of others she had experienced.
In Huo Qichen's heart, Su Rongrong, a green plum, was no match for Bai Ruanruan, a descendant from the sky.
Qin Shaoyan, a prodigal son, could never look back for Xiao Yueyue.
Quan Xihong and Murphy Fei reunited, but the scar of Murphy Fei raising children alone in a foreign land can never be repaired.
How can there be so much perfection?
Only childhood sweethearts hate each other, a prodigal will never repent, and a broken mirror will always have cracks.
Not being able to love is the normal state of life.
…
In the corner of the theater, a man looked curiously at Wen Jiu, who was crying in the front row.
He is an Apple employee and the person in charge of this symphony event.
In fact, Apple organized this symphony performance to hold an event to "promote traditional Chinese literature and art". They have planned a series of programs for this purpose, and inviting a well-known symphony orchestra to perform "Butterfly Lovers" is just one of the activities.
He really didn't expect that someone would burst into tears listening to such a familiar melody.
Who is it? Such a high level of artistic appreciation?
The man looked closer and recognized it.
Isn’t this a myth in the variety show live broadcast industry? Wen Jiu won two awards in a row and single-handedly defeated half of Apple!
He was secretly excited. This was a good opportunity to flatter his leader, Xiang Zichuan!
After Ruan Xiuxiu passed away, Xiang Zichuan returned to Apple and resumed his original position. The chief planner of this event was Xiang Zichuan.
When the man went to Xiang Zichuan's office to report to him, he saw Xiang Zichuan watching Wen Jiu's live broadcast there several times.
It’s self-evident what he thinks about Wen Jiu!
So the man immediately left the concert hall and went out to call Xiang Zichuan.
"Mr. Xiang, I saw Wen Jiu at the Grand Theater today."
Xiang Zichuan hesitated for a moment and asked quickly: "Is she going to listen to "Butterfly Lovers"?"
"Yes...she was crying the whole time! She was crying so sadly!"
Xiang Zichuan: "Thank you for telling me. I'll go over and take a look."
"Okay." The man was very excited.
This flattery is spot on!
…
Xiang Zichuan arrived at the concert hall before the symphony ended.
He sat in the back row and stared deeply at Wen Jiu's slightly trembling thin shoulders.
In fact, he could vaguely guess what happened between Wen Jiu and Lu Jing.
He had been fighting with Lu Jing for so long, and he had a deep understanding of Lu Jing's personality, as well as how deep Lu Jing's feelings were for Wen Jiu.
Lu Jing would not force Wen Jiu to leave the show with him just because his future was unclear. He would not selfishly put her as bright as a star in his own little bottle.
So Lu Jing will definitely let go.
However, Xiang Zichuan also understood that he had no opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and he didn't even have any ideas.
First, he is self-aware and knows that he cannot get in. If he rushes to get in, he is just humiliating himself.
The second reason is that he really appreciates a woman and is not that interested in getting her.
He just looked at her from a distance through the scattered audience.
And silently bless her in my heart:
I hope you cheer up.
I also hope you can stand at the top.
Otherwise, it would be too lonely for me to keep climbing up alone.
