The snow on the street was trampled into thick ice by the pedestrians. I staggered on the ice and recalled my past with Gu Cheng. The scene of my last quarrel with him inadvertently appeared in my eyes.
In order to salvage the relationship between me and Gu Cheng that was about to be destroyed, I made an exception and left work early that day, hoping to have a good talk with him. I was lucky. He didn't go to the office but lay on the sofa with his eyes closed. I put down my bag and poured him a cup of hot tea. Gu Cheng seemed to be very tired. He took the tea and took two sips without saying a word. His actions made me very unhappy. He and I hadn't spoken much for a month. Now that I wanted to lower my head and make up with him, he actually put on airs and didn't even look at me. It would be strange if there were no women outside. Thinking of it this way, the suspicion in my heart was even stronger. The dissatisfaction that I had suppressed over the past few days immediately erupted. I pointed at Gu Cheng's nose and questioned him angrily,"Are you tired? What did you do last night?"
Gu Cheng looked at me gloomily and reached out to move my finger away. He said coldly,"Look at you now. You look like a shrew.”
Although I was very angry that Gu Cheng called me a shrew, I thought that no matter how angry I was, I shouldn't have pointed at Gu Cheng's nose and shouted, so I lowered my head in shame and sat opposite him.
Seeing that I had calmed down, Gu Cheng took a sip of water and said expressionlessly,"Recently, the company has taken on a few big projects, and there are many things that I need to handle personally.”
I thought that if I didn't make a scene, Gu Cheng would hug me and coax me like before, but I didn't expect him to be so cold. I couldn't help but grit my teeth in anger and say,"I think you're busy looking for a woman!”
Gu Cheng was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged. He suddenly sat up and shouted,"Are you crazy?"
"I'm not sick. I know what a normal man needs. I'm not at home for a month, and you can suppress that loneliness. You're a rich young master.”After my proud heart was touched by Gu Cheng, I actually said so much nonsense in one breath.
Gu Cheng's expression was very ugly. He threw the teacup in his hand on the floor. The sound of the teacup shattering shocked me. I had never seen Gu Cheng so angry. It seemed that what I said just now was indeed a little overboard. However, since I had already said it, there was no use regretting it. I would not lower my voice and apologize to him.
"You know how to break things, not bad! I can do it too!" I said sarcastically. I got up and walked into the bedroom. I picked up the cosmetics on the dressing table and threw them on the floor. The bottles and jars shattered on the ground, and the liquid gradually filled Gu Cheng's pants and shoes. He shouted fiercely,"People in hospitals are indeed sick!”
Gu Cheng was actually discriminating against my profession again. How could I let this go? I immediately turned from a delicate woman into a ferocious beast and roared,"What's wrong with the people from the hospital? If you have the ability, don't come to us if you have a fracture! If you look down on nurses so much, why do you want to marry me? I think you're retarded!”
Gu Cheng was completely choked by my words. The expression on his face changed rapidly. There was anger, regret, and more disappointment. I saw him clench his fists and thought he would hit me, but my guess was wrong. He looked at me quietly for two seconds before slamming the door and running down the stairs. Seeing the man who once loved me very much slam the door and leave, I was so angry that my entire body trembled. I closed the door tightly and lay on the bed, crying loudly. I admit that I was a little unreasonable this time, but Gu Cheng wouldn't be so ruthless. Ever since we met and got married, he had never been so angry. It seemed that my guess was right. Our relationship might have really come to an end. I was originally in a bad mood, but I didn't expect my mother-in-law to come back from her morning exercise and see my shattered makeup. She started to scold me again and even said that my son was blind to marry a poor woman like me. If I didn't know what was good for me, she would immediately ask her son to divorce me. I know that my mother-in-law has never liked me very much, but for Gu Cheng's sake, I've never had a direct conflict with her. Since Gu Cheng and I have come to this point today, there's no need to please his mother. I vented all the dissatisfaction I had suppressed in my heart for more than half a year. Grandma was so angry that she asked the maid to chase me out. Although I was born into a poor family, I didn't care about their luxurious villa and limousine at all. I didn't bring anything with me. I slammed the door and walked out of this so-called home. I took a taxi and went straight to the hospital.
Gu Cheng and I seemed to be very busy for the next few days. He didn't call me to go home, so I told the hospital leader and stayed in the hospital's single dormitory. After a week, Gu Cheng obviously couldn't hold it in any longer. He sent a text message over. His original intention was probably to get back together with me, but after the warm statement, he added a cold and sharp sentence,"I'll wait for your resignation!" Seeing that Gu Cheng was still so determined to make me resign, my originally calm heart was once again hurt. I couldn't stand Gu Cheng manipulating my life just because he had some money. I had my dignity and ideals. Money wasn't everything in life, and I couldn't be a parasite on others. Women should have their own careers and lives. That way, even if they were old, they wouldn't be looked down upon by men. In the end, I decided to give up this precarious marriage for my own ideals. I wrote to Gu Cheng: "You want me to resign? Dream on! I won't give up my dream for a man!”Gu Cheng didn't reply. Our war had turned from a smoke-filled war to a silent cold war.
One week, two weeks, one month, two months, we didn't see each other, nor did we talk on the phone. One day at work, Dr. Li, who had always been quiet in the department, actually asked me mysteriously if I had a fight with my husband. In order not to let my colleagues laugh at me, I lied and said that my relationship with my husband was very good. Doctor Li smiled strangely when he heard my words. He said that he was just asking casually, but I felt extremely uneasy. If I wanted a divorce, I had to ask first. I definitely couldn't let Gu Cheng dump me. It would be so embarrassing if word got out. That day, because of this matter, I was distracted a few times and almost changed the patient's IV drip to the wrong one, causing a life to be lost. The head nurse severely criticized me and even deducted my 100 yuan bonus. In order to resolve the doubts in my heart as soon as possible, I called Gu Cheng as soon as I got off work and shouted angrily,"How's the search for the woman going?"
Gu Cheng's cold voice came from the other end of the phone."Thank you for your kind words. It's almost time!"
" You're shameless! You're a bastard!" I didn't expect my unintentional provocation to get such an answer from Gu Cheng. It seemed that what I was worried about had finally happened.
The other end of the phone was silent for a long time before a cold voice sounded."Ye Qiu, I'm tired. I think we should end this!”
"What is it? Ending? What do you mean?" I held back the tears in my eyes and asked sternly. I don't believe that the man who loves me so deeply will really have a change of heart, and so quickly!
"I... I mean, let's get a divorce!" On the other end of the phone, Gu Cheng was a little hesitant. I think he must have felt bad when he said this. After all, we had sworn to each other and had many beautiful memories.
Gu Cheng's steady and powerful voice hit my eardrums like hailstones. I shivered from the cold and cursed,"You fucking bastard!" He threw the iPhone in his hand onto the street. Gu Cheng gave me this phone as a birthday present for my birthday in January. At that time, the young nurses in the department were extremely envious, but they didn't expect that three months later, their love would end with this phone.
There were very few people on the streets. Occasionally, a few of them were fully armed. Their hats and masks were covered tightly, afraid that the dry and cold air would freeze their boiling blood. I thought about the past. I was like an alien. The buttons on my down jacket were wide open. I didn't wear a scarf or a mask. I was like a lonely ghost stepping on the snow in a daze. No matter how cold the air is, it can't be colder than my disappointed heart. Gu Cheng betrayed me and wants to divorce me. All the promises and sweet words of the past can go to hell!
Auntie Li, who had just returned from grocery shopping, saw me walking on the street in a daze and kindly reminded me,"Qiuqiu, you're still out wandering in such cold weather. You might catch a cold!”
I was jolted awake by Auntie Li's words. I smiled faintly and said,"Auntie, I'm fine!"
Auntie Li shook her head.”Then, she shrunk her neck and walked quickly into the neighborhood.
"I have a pair of invisible wings that can take me flying and make me strong!”My phone rang. This ringtone suited my current situation. I would never lose my life for a man. I had to learn to be strong. She took out her phone from the pocket of her down jacket and saw that it was Gu Cheng. She thought to herself,"Mom wants me to reconcile with him. As long as he's willing to lower his head and apologize to me, I'll be magnanimous and swallow my anger regardless of whether he has a woman outside or not. In order not to worry Mom, I'll continue to be his wife." With that thought in mind, I temporarily forgot all about the past and gently picked up the phone."Why are you looking for me?"
"Are you busy? Let's find some time to go through the divorce procedures!”
"I'm sorry, I've been very busy recently. I might have to wait until next week!”I didn't expect Gu Cheng to mention divorce as soon as he opened his mouth, but in order not to let him look down on me, I deliberately pretended to be nonchalant and answered him in a relaxed tone.
"Ye Qiu, don't tell me you don't want a divorce? You said that I would give you anything you want, a house, a car, or money?”Gu Cheng's cold and domineering voice stung my ears. I was so angry that I almost threw the phone in my hand away. However, thinking about it, things were different now. I dug this phone out from between my teeth last month. With a salary of 3,000 yuan, she had to buy cosmetics and medicine for her mother. If she broke her phone again this time, she would really be isolated from the world in the future.
"You bastard, you're so arrogant just because you have a few stinking money. I don't care about anything. It's a blessing to not have a fickle man like you. I think I should put you on a few tables to celebrate!”Although my heart had already bled, I acted very strong in front of Gu Cheng. I didn't want Gu Cheng to look down on me.
"It's rare for you to be so open-minded. Then let's part on good terms!”On the phone, Gu Cheng clearly didn't believe that I would let go of this relationship so easily, but hearing that I wasn't sad was also a comfort to him.
"By the way, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow!”
"Good!" I hung up the phone and slowly let out a sigh of relief. I wiped away the tears in my eyes and smiled faintly. In fact, this kind of broken marriage would only cause endless harm to the two of them if they continued to persist. While they were still young and she still had a beautiful face, if she lost this stinky man, would she be afraid that she would not be able to find a better rich husband? Laugh at life, laugh at life, laugh at the scenery at the next stop!
