Luo Chengfeng stood up, turned his back to Chen Chen, and said hoarsely,""I agree to the divorce. Don't be sad, okay? I have a request. After our wedding next month, can we stay for a year and a half? Even if it's a few months, just a few days is fine. Let me take care of you and fulfill my promise to you…"
"No." Chen Chen replied.
Luo Chengfeng wiped his tears and took a deep breath. He turned around and lowered his head, continuing,""Don't be in a hurry to reject me, okay? You can go home and think about it before making a decision, or discuss it with your family. After our wedding, you can file for divorce at any time. As a token of guilt, you don't have to return the betrothal gift. In addition, you can have half of the property rights to the new house.”
When his mother heard this, Luo Chengfeng raised his hand to stop her.
Without waiting for Chen Chen's reply, he continued to guarantee,""Don't be afraid of what I'll do to you after the wedding. I might not be a good person in your eyes now, but you should know that I'm not someone who will force a woman.”
Honestly speaking, Luo Chengfeng was not a person who would use force.
But he knew how to lure.
The reason why Chen Chen was still a virgin was all because of her self-control.
Was he going to use his beauty trap again in an attempt to turn the tide of the battle?
Or did he want to shut the mouths of the masses first to prevent his image from being completely destroyed?
Chen Chen lowered her head and did not look at Luo Chengfeng.
The whole family looked at her nervously, waiting for her reply.
Chen Chen thought nervously. As poor as she was, she felt that this condition was better. Just holding a wedding would net her a lot of money, and she could achieve the goal of divorce.
This way, the two families 'faces would be preserved. Chen Fugui might be satisfied with this outcome.
Although it was still a divorce, at least there was some financial compensation.
But where was his dignity?
Holding a wedding in such a stormy city was not something a person with a backbone could do.
In the end, Chen Chen still chose integrity under the test of money and face.
The family was helpless against such a stubborn person and did not even want to talk.
He had nothing to say.
Luo Chengfeng also thought that he had retreated again and again, and there was no way to retreat. He was just short of dying to apologize.
"When are you going to the Civil Affairs Bureau?" Chen Chen asked him.”
"Let's discuss it with your father tonight!" His mother said coldly.”
What else could Chen Chen say? She had begged and cried. It was impossible for her to kneel.
She turned around and walked out the door, returning home in a daze.
It was a rare vacation, but she was restless.
Time was ticking away.
She wanted to summon up the courage to tell her mother about what happened tonight, but when she saw Chen Chunhua's sickly and haggard face, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Chen Chunhua saw her wandering around her bed a few times and finally held her hand and asked,"Do you have something to say to Mom?”
"No, I just wanted to ask you what you want to eat tonight so that I can make it.”
Chen Chen lied. A wave of sadness surged through her heart.
Chen Chunhua was a patient who had been a burden to her family for many years. She was sensitive and used to reading people's expressions. She did not believe that Chen Chen's anxious look was just for dinner. She said,"Tell Mommy the truth."
Chen Chen stood in the dimly lit " bedroom " for a while, then went to the door outside and pressed the light switch.
The room was divided into many sections, and there was no light in the room. They could only enter through the mottled light from the door.
"There's no need to turn on the lights." Chen Chunfeng leaned against the headboard and scolded.”
Chen Chen went over and sat on Chen Chunhua's bedside. She lowered her eyes and looked at her mother. Her mother's white hair, wrinkles on her face, and the bitterness in her eyes made her eyes sore. She turned her head away and after a while, she lowered her head to rub her mother's deformed hands and feet. She asked softly,"Does it hurt badly?"
"I'm fine. It's an old problem. Don't worry, your father said that we'll go to the military hospital in the city after your wedding. I heard that the experts and professors there are the best.”
Chen Chen didn't know what to say.
Chen Chunhua looked at Chen Chen's face. There was a faint sadness hidden in her pale face. She sensitively connected it to her swollen eyes in the morning and asked,"Chen Chen, what happened?"
Chen Chen didn't say anything. She stood up and rolled up her T-shirt in annoyance, revealing her fair waist.
The weather forecast said that the highest temperature today was 40 degrees, but her mother still had no intention of turning on the air conditioner. She only turned the fan to the maximum.
Chen Chunhua asked her daughter to put down the t-shirt that was rolled up to her chest and said,"You're a girl. Learn from your father!"
"It's so hot. It's probably going to rain heavily tonight.”
Chen Chunhua supported her body and picked up her walking stick from the bed. Chen Chen helped her to sit on the sofa outside.
She lifted the curtains with a heavy heart and looked at the sky outside. It was like a fire. The room was like a steamer, making people feel more and more restless.
"There will be a storm tonight."
Chen Chen stood in front of her mother. Looking at her aged appearance, she finally hardened her heart.
If she didn't say it now, she would be even more agitated when Luo Chengfeng's family came tonight. It was better to say it earlier so that she could be mentally prepared.
"Did the weather forecast say that?" Chen Chunfeng asked. He muttered to himself,"If the water rises, the downstream will suffer."”
"I'm the one who's going to suffer."
Chen Chunhua was confused.”
"I'm not going out."
"Then what are you afraid of? The storm comes and goes quickly. It won't delay your work tomorrow morning.”
"Someone is coming."
"Who is it, Lina? He hadn't seen this child for a long time. He asked her to come over for dinner another day. He didn't want her to come over tonight. It wasn't good to be in a rainstorm.”
"Mom, Lina will never come to our house for dinner again.”
As Chen Chen said this, she realized that the skylight had already revealed a glimmer of light. She wondered if she should open it.
Chen Chunhua was shocked and extremely suspicious. She said,"Did you and Lina fall out?"
"Turn the sky upside down. Now, she and I are considered enemies."
"You're not kids anymore. Why are you making a fuss? You two have been friends for 20 years.”
"Something big, something big. She was pregnant, and the child was Chengfeng's.”
Chen Chen opened the window and spoke frankly. Since he couldn't hide it, he might as well open it.
It was good to give her mother a heads-up first. Then, she would naturally tell her father, saving herself the trouble of confessing to Chen Fugui.
Chen Chunhua had been holed up at home all her life and had never experienced any storms. Hearing this sentence was like a monstrous wave. The wave hit her and she staggered. Her lips trembled for a long time and she could not say a word. After a long time, she asked weakly,"Is Chengfeng going to get a divorce?"
Chen Chen was surprised to hear this.
This reaction was abnormal, too abnormal.
As a mother, shouldn't she be angry when she heard this news, then tear the scumbag apart, scold the mistress, and finally hug and comfort me?
Her heart was instantly filled with indescribable sadness.
How could Father be surprised that his mother was like this?
After all, they only cared about the benefits of this marriage and the loss of reputation.
Now that things had come to this, they were actually concerned about whether or not she would propose a divorce. How humble were they?
It was as if someone had slapped him in the face and he could only pray that he would not be kicked again. He did not dare to show his anger, humiliation, unwillingness, and other emotions, afraid that he would invite disaster.
Chen Chen collapsed weakly on the sofa and hugged a cushion tightly. She didn't feel the heat anymore and only felt a chill in her heart.
During the day in the hospital, Chen Chen had fought three people alone. Although she felt pressured, she was not afraid because she knew that the family was cultured. Whether it was for the sake of self-cultivation or face, they would not do anything to her.
But what about illiterate Chen Fugui?
He had always used his fists to solve problems!
