Jiang Xu had changed. She was certain that Cheng Lu would leave her in the future, so she pulled Cheng Lu to the marriage registry office to get her certificate soon after she returned. The two people in the photo were close together, but their gazes seemed to be filled with their own worries? Who knows.

All women in the world are cheap people. They hate being poor and love being rich, so they deserve to die!

All of it, all of it, Despite Cheng Lu’s repeated questioning, Jiang Xu kept his mouth shut. After getting married, Jiang Xu’s gaze gradually became cold and indifferent. Their common words became less and less. Soon, he quit a few odd jobs and began to wander around in various gambling places. He suspected that she was having an affair with other men and whether she wanted to divorce him. No matter how Cheng Lu explained it, Jiang Xu only stared at her seriously and then left.

Something buried in the depths of his memories was quietly changing, but when he realized it, it was too late.

Her teenager never returned. In other words, he had returned to his original nature.

“Ms. Cheng, Ms. Cheng…” The policeman called her for a long time without any response.

Only then did Cheng Lu regain her senses. She pressed her head and explained apologetically, “I didn’t sleep well last night. Please forgive me.”

“Fill in a form.”

She hastily filled out the form and followed the police to the security room where Jiang Xu was staying. “This brat stole the gold and silver jewelry in the mall openly. He was caught by the surveillance cameras.”

Jiang Xu did not look up at him from beginning to end. Cheng Lu looked at the thin side of her face as if she had seen him for the first time. She looked like a tiny speck of dust that was humble and ethereal. “Lift your head and look at me.”

Jiang Xu’s hands were handcuffed. He wore the same orange shoulders as the criminal on TV, and two policemen stared at him beside him. Cheng Lu stares at Jiang Xu, “What did you promise me? Have you forgotten?”

Jiang Xu did not say anything. After the guard signaled, the two policemen beside him also retreated. It was better to let them talk alone.

Cheng Lu grabs Jiang Xu’s arm. She pulls his hair like a madman. She can’t bear to hurt that beautiful face. “Jiang Xu, I have to endure these days. Why, tell me, what kind of shameful thing did I do to make you hate me so much? Is it true that only death can relieve me?”

Cheng Lu wants an answer, but it is not an ambiguous deliberate change of topic, nor is it the repeated battles between the two of them, as long as there is an answer. Perhaps it was just a look, an action, a sentence, as long as it was the original Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu raised his head. There were several red marks on his face, and the corners of his eyes were swollen. He had been slapped countless times. Cheng Lu had already treated him as a relative. No matter how tough her appearance was, her heart couldn’t help but soften.

“Does it hurt? Does it feel good to torture yourself like this? Jiang Xu, don’t you love me anymore” She said her last sentence with a trembling voice. Unless he didn’t love her anymore, this was the last promise Cheng Lu had made to Jiang Xu.

“Yes, Cheng Lu, we’re completely finished. I don’t love you anymore. I never loved to talk about you.” Jiang Xu’s expression was cold and indifferent. His entire face was shrouded in a shadow that no one could see through.

Cheng Lu forgot how she walked out of the security hall of the police station. The white notes in her hands were still trembling. This time, it was no longer a simple quarrel. Thinking back and forth, if she hadn’t been so used to Jiang Xu, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.

She gritted her teeth and the corners of her mouth rose. “Finally, I’m free.”

Just a few minutes ago, the police looked at Cheng Lu in confusion and finally confirmed, “Don’t you want to be released on bail?”

“Right, no bail.” Cheng Lu’s two-month salary advance from the milk tea shop was useless. She was originally a resolute and decisive person. Let Jiang Xu stay inside until he truly saw through the world.

Some people say that life is like a glass of red wine, the longer the sweeter, but Cheng Lu’s life is like a bowl of sesame paste, the longer and paste.

At three o’clock in the morning, Cheng Lu tells Xie Dongmei on the phone, “Dongmei, I’m finally going to be relieved.”

“What?” Dong Mei listens drowsily to Cheng Lu who is crying on the other side.

Cheng Lu is drunk, she can actually buy drunk with wine, which makes Xie Dongmei shocked.

“I’m getting a divorce, this time it’s true.

“You’re finally enlightened.” Xie Dongmei’s voice sounded calm, “I’m sleepy to death. I’ll talk to you tomorrow. Silly girl, go to bed quickly, be good…”

Was she ruthless? And let that man go to jail like that? It wasn’t that she wasn’t sad, she thought that perhaps she could give him a little punishment and turn over a new leaf?

Cheng Lu is carelessly guarding the milk tea shop. In recent days, the business of the milk tea shop is average. The manager tactfully says that he wants to dismiss her. Although the words are not explicit, she is not shameless. It is also true that her ghost appearance does not scare away the customers.

She was dispirited and listless. Any word that described her was not good could be used to describe her. She felt that living was meaningless, completely meaningless.

After work, the manager handed a poster to Cheng Lu. “I heard that the provincial TV station recently organized a commercial singer competition in our city. Cheng Lu, do you want to try it?”

The manager looks at Cheng Lu with anticipation. She doesn’t know much about singing, but she thinks that Cheng Lu’s talent is not bad. Her voice is very clear and clever. She often hums a few songs in the milk tea shop. She thinks that Cheng Lu can try her luck.

“Me?” Cheng Lu smiles awkwardly. It is not that she is modest. Although she loves music, she has not received professional vocal music training. It is impossible for her to stand out from so many singers.

“Aiya, why are you so unconfident? Just treat it as a fun trip. Anyway, it’s very close to us. We’ll be there in a few minutes by bus.” The manager smiled and encouraged Cheng Lu, “Seeing that you’re in a bad mood recently, I’ll treat it as going out to relax.”

Originally, she had a grudge against the manager who wanted to dismiss her, but now she felt that she was a reasonable person. She recalled that a few days ago, when she heard that something had happened at Cheng Lu’s house, she even gave her an advance of two months’ salary. The manager who usually treated her coldly suddenly treated her so well that Cheng Lu almost burst into tears when she was excited.

The next day, Cheng Lu regretted that when she brought a sum of money to the police station to bail Jiang Xu out, she was told that she had already left. Who bailed Jiang Xu out? Cheng Lu asks the police, but they tell her to keep it a secret. Jiang Xu must hate her to death, right? Cheng Lu thinks about it and firmly believes in divorce. It’s not good for anyone to delay it.

The registration time and place for the singer contest have been determined. On the 16th, the contest will be held in the cultural center of the city center. It is said that the champion can get an advertisement worth one million yuan. Cheng Lu smiles. What does this have to do with her? She is just a rookie who can only hum a few pop songs. Participating in this activity was purely for the sake of fulfilling a childhood dream of stepping onto the stage.

When people asked her what her dream was when she was young, Cheng Lu’s answer was to be a singer. When she was a child in the orphanage, she always sang to her friends and participated in many campus activities at school. She loved singing. However, the gap between her dream and reality made her realize that she was still an ordinary person who needed to earn money to eat. Those remote dreams had long since been shattered.

Jiang Xu was once very opposed to singing. In Jiang Xu’s eyes, there was a very strange thought. As long as he did something that had nothing to do with him, it would be a betrayal. She could not see Jiang Xu clearly, she only thought that Jiang Xu wanted to take her for herself.

Cheng Lu is cooking in the kitchen. She hears “rumble” sounds coming from the courtyard. She thinks that Jiang Xu is back, but when she goes out, she sees a luxurious car parked outside.

“Is this Jiang Xu’s home?”

“Yes.”

Cheng Lu looks at the woman in front of her. She is dressed as a noble woman, and there are two bodyguards beside her. This woman’s eyebrows are somewhat similar to Jiang Xu’s.

“Who is calling, please?”

“I’m Jiang Xu’s mother. I wonder if Jiang Xu mentioned it to you?” Her voice was very gentle. Was this dignified and elegant looking woman in front of her really the same person as the woman Jiang Xu spoke of?

“Sit inside.” Cheng Lu is a little nervous. Facing Mother Jiang’s arrival, she is more shocked than overwhelmed.

“No, I just came to see you. It’s all thanks to you that you’ve been taking care of him for so many years.” Mother Jiang said with an awkward expression, “That child probably won’t forgive me. When I went back to find him, they didn’t live there anymore, and they rarely felt guilty in their hearts for so many years.”

Mother Jiang’s gaze fell on the thin Cheng Lu. She was shocked to hear that Jiang Xu had married early and found this place. They lived in this remote area, in a dilapidated house, and in front of this woman, the child who was only in her early twenties, but her face was already filled with exhaustion.

“Poverty-stricken couples will mourn for a hundred days. Last time, I looked for Jiang Xu, but he didn’t accept it.” Mother Jiang handed her a bank card. “Take this. Don’t tell Jiang Xu I was here.”

Cheng Lu did not answer. Speaking of which, although the woman in front of her had a kind expression, she still stood on Jiang Xu’s side. If it wasn’t for her mother, Jiang Xu might…

Suddenly thinking of something, Cheng Lu asks, “You said you looked for him? When?”

She looked for him half a year ago. What’s wrong? Haha, Jiang Xu didn’t mention it to you, did he? That child hates me …? Her face was somewhat pale.

“You also released Jiang Xu on bail?”

Mother Jiang nodded, “I caused him to become like this. I really want to help you…”

Cheng Lu feels that her head is a little messy. Without her reminding, she knows how much Jiang Xu hates her. Half a year ago, it happened not long after they got married. Could it be because of this Jiang Xu that things have changed greatly?

She looked at the woman in front of her, and her mind was filled with Jiang Xu’s drunken appearance.

“You can go. Jiang Xu will be angry when he sees it.” Cheng Lu gave an expulsion order to “Granny”. Perhaps it was wrong to do so, but Jiang Xu, he was originally innocent.

“Are you and Jiang Xu on good terms?” Li Shufen asked.

“Fortunately.” She blurted out, but in her heart, she despised herself. She was clearly a person from two different worlds. What else was good about it, but she lacked the red divorce certificate?

The two of them pushed and shoved for a long time. Seeing that Cheng Lu refused to hand over the card, she could only give up. When she left, she handed her a business card and said, “This is my phone number. Call me if you have any difficulties.”

Watching Li Shufen leave, Cheng Lu is still a little uneasy. Where is Jiang Xu now? Was this dignified woman in front of him really as unbearable as Jiang Xu had said?

At night, she texted Jiang Xu, “Where are you?” Let’s talk about the divorce.

However, Jiang Xu did not reply to him.

Cheng Lu has long been accustomed to his whereabouts, and does not hold any expectations.

In the blink of an eye, it was the sixteenth. The weather on that day was hazy, and it looked like it was going to rain. It was nine o’clock in the morning when Cheng Lu received the manager’s reminder.

It was only then that she remembered that today was the first day of the audition. The listless look of the woman in the mirror came into her eyes. Are you really going to participate in this?
