My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 105
Chapter 105 Divorce
Mu Yu thought Qin Jinhuan was going to say yes when she saw him open his eyes, but he only glanced at her and proceeded to close his eyes.
Hah, was he trying to tell her she did not have the right to ask for a divorce with his cold gaze?
Of course, she was only his wife in contract according to what they agreed before. He did tell her that she did not have any sayings regarding the marriage as long as the contract was still valid.
She turned to the side as she felt disheartened and weakly leaned against the wall while staring blankly outside the blurry car window.
It wasn’t the glass that was blurry, but her eyes filled with tears that she could not keep.
It wasn’t her intention to cry, but her heart was hurt. She was hurt by the familiar yet strange, heartless man.
She absolutely could not understand why he was nice to her when she wasn’t in love with him; but now when she was and had high hopes for their future he suddenly became cruel to her?
Because even though she knowingly accepted his indifference toward her, she still kept waiting patiently and longingly. And hoped that he would let go of the knot inside his heart that was there because of Grandpa’s intervention.
But she never would have thought that the person she waited and longed for already had another girl beside him!
That Yin Anran…
The image of how he spoiled Yin Anran and how he was cold and indifferent toward her was clashing right before her eyes. Her chest felt as if it was being ripped apart by birds and beasts, making her sick to the point of difficulty in breathing yet unable to escape.
Why was it like this?!
Why would it be like this?
Were all those sweet words of love he told her when he had nothing was actually just some lie he used as a way to pass time?
But she always treated it as if it was real!
Her tears could not help but rush down as her heart ached with despair.
She did not want him to hear her sobs. She did not want him to see her foolish and weak self, so she bit on her lips and covered her mouth with her hands as tight as she could.
One should never shed a tear for a man who had never treated your feelings with sincerity. You would be a fool if you did.
But she was foolish enough to shed her dreaded tears even though she bit hard on her lips.
Mu Yu did not realise that Qin Jinhuan already opened his eyes and was staring at her slightly bent, trembling body as she was stricken with despair. He had a complicated look in his eyes, yet he still did not go up to her or gave her any comfort.
After a moment passed, Qin Jinhuan made Weng Yun stop at the road and told him to send Mu Yu home, then he got out of the car.
“You don’t have to be upset, Young Mistress. You just misunderstood the boss. The relationship between Boss and Yin Anran is not what you imagined, I swear! She… She was one of the boss’ friend’s younger sister.” Weng Yun finally mustered up courage and explained to Mu Yu after he had driven quite a distance.
Mu Yu lifted her soulless eyes, but still refused to continue the conversation.
What hurt her the most wasn’t because of how he was loving toward Yin Anran, but how he was cold toward her.
He had no love toward her. Even though there was never a Yin Anran, there would be another Zhao Anran or Wang Anran in the future.
“I’m sorry Young Mistress, but I can’t tell you who Miss Yin’s elder sister is. But you should not be worried because the boss really has no feelings for her. You don’t have to be upset with him and ask for a divorce.” Weng Yun who was driving urgently tried to explain everything to her.
Mu Yu still did not reply as she was engrossed in her own sadness.
“Young Mistress…”
“You don’t need to say anything, I already understand. Thank you for worrying about me.” She sobbed as she cut him off.
Qin Jinhuan’s underlings had always treated her with utmost respect and care and she perfectly understood this.
“No Young Mistress, I…”
“Stop the car.”
“Young Mistress, you…”
“Stop the car!”
“Where would you like to go? I’ll drive you there.”
“You don’t have to.”
“Young Mistress…”
“Stop the car!”
Mu Yu finally reached out and grabbed the door handle as Weng Yun refused to stop the car. But the door was already locked so she turned the door handle with all her might.
“Please don’t get agitated, young mistress. Please don’t act recklessly, I will stop, please wait!” Weng Yun immediately drove the car to the side of the road. He followed her after he saw her getting out of the car.
“You should go. I want to be alone.”
“Young Mistress…”
“Stop bothering me!” After realising how poorly she acted, she led out a small sigh and lowered her voice, “I’m sorry I’m not feeling very well, I need to be alone in silence by myself.”
“Then. Please be careful of yourself.”
“No problem.”
Mu Yu replied and quickly walked toward a nearby park after looking around.
Weng Yun wiped away his sweat discreetly as he was afraid to follow her, but was still worried about her. He secretly followed her after she entered the park and found her sitting on the bench in the corner covering her face. He felt more uncertain to leave. After pondering for a while, he asked for Jiang Wenwen’s phone number from Wen Zeyu and called her to tell her that Mu Yu was upset. He asked if she could come over and accompany her.
Jiang Wenwen had always cared about Mu Yu. She immediately took her leave from school and rushed to the park where Weng Yun had told her.
“What happened? Why was she suddenly upset?” Jiang Wenwen immediately bombarded Weng Yun with questions as soon as she saw him. To her knowledge Mu Yu was fine when she left her.
“Uhh…” Weng Yun hesitated for a moment and replied vaguely, “She had a misunderstanding with the boss.”
“They were okay before, why would she be upset now?”
“It was…”
Jiang Wenwen’s eyes pierced, “Did Young Master Qin have another girl outside?”
“No, no no no! Our boss is very sincere toward the young mistress.”
Jiang Wenwen could see Weng Yun’s eyes flicker even though he was trying to deny everything. She glared at him as if he was Qin Jinhuan who cheated on Mu Yu.
“That’s…” Weng Yun rubbed his hands awkwardly and turned his gaze toward Mu Yu, “Please help comfort our Young Mistress. Tell her that she has nothing to worry about.”
“Hmph!” Jiang Wenwen peered at him in disdain and quickly ran toward Mu Yu.
Weng Yun could not help but shrug his shoulders as he watched her leave.
“Yu, what’s wrong?” In the meantime, Jiang Wenwen ran up in front of Mu Yu and touched her shoulder softly, asking in a worried voice.
Mu Yu raised her head in surprise, “Wenwen? What are you doing here?”
“What happened? Why are you crying like this?” Jiang Wenwen’s heart ached as she saw Mu Yu’s eyes red due to her crying. She immediately took out tissue to help her wipe her tears away.
“No, it was nothing.” Mu Yu hurriedly swept away her tears with her hands.
Jiang Wenwen slapped her hands and scolded her, “Mu Yu, Since when have you learned to hide things from me? You are already crying and drenched in tears but you still act like you’re okay! Do you think I’m blind? Do you not think of me as your best friend anymore after you become an elite young mistress for a few days?”
“No, it’s not like that.”
“If it’s not like that then hurry up and tell me what happened.”
“I…”
Mu Yu’s stutter made Jiang Wenwen upset, she immediately confronted her, “Did Young Master Qin have an affair?”
Mu Yu was instantly stunned, “Where, where did you hear that from?”
“You saw them at the Tai Cemetery didn’t you?”
She never thought her best friend would be so knowing. Her tears fell down as she nodded. Mu Yu did not want to hold back anymore as she was already upset.
“F*ck! I was right all along! It was really Young Master Qin and his love affair! He’s despicable! The love affair is worse!” Jiang Wenwen was so upset that she crumpled the tissues in her hand. “Do you know who the girl is?”
Mu Yu shook her head.
“Then did you have any conflict with her when you saw her at Tai Cemetery?”
“No.”
“Did you admonish her?”
“I didn’t.”
“So you just leave them be without saying anything?”
“Yes.”
“Why are you so gullible?” Jiang Wenwen was exasperated as she looked at Mu Yu, “Even if you did not want to fight her, you could have confronted and scolded her! If not she would be more arrogant in the future! She might even try to get your place from just being a mistress!”
Mu Yu was stunned and smiled bitterly, “I already asked for a divorce.”
“Divorce?!” Jiang Wenwen leapt up, “You can’t! If you divorced then it will go according to the b*tch’s plan! How could you give up so easily? Guys are always like that, all of them are players and girl-crazy. Some just do it for the fun of it. Young Master Qin must have just wanted to try something new. After all of this dies down he would definitely…”
“Wenwen,” Mu Yu interrupted her best friend’s words, “I don’t need a marriage without love.”
“Don’t you love Young Master Qin?”
Mu Yu shook her head, “It’s not that I don’t love him. It was him… That never loved me.”
She did not want to continue the conversation but knew she could not deceive others and herself much longer.
“That couldn’t be! How could he not love you? I’ve seen how he was very caring toward you!”
“Those were all just an act that we showed other people.”
“Huh?”
Mu Yu tugged on her best friend to sit down and began to tell her the important details of what had been happening.
“So what you’re saying is, you and Young Master Qin were only husband and wife on contract? All those caring scenes towards one another was all just an act? So your ‘meeting’ with him was all planned out by Grandpa?” Jiang Wenwen was lightheaded as the information given to her was too much. But she still caught on the important details.
“Yes.”
“Why does this… feel like an evening soap opera?”
Mu Yu sighed, “This is a soap opera.”
Jiang Wenwen sat beside her disheartedly and said in a muffled voice, “So according to what you said, you have no rights to meddle even if he has an affair?”
“Yes.”
“But this is unfair to you!” Jiang Wenwen was upset.
“So I want a divorce.”
“But you love him! You have the support from his grandpa, why don’t you try and fight for it?”
“I told you I don’t want a marriage without love.”
“You sure he doesn’t love you?”
Mu Yu slightly raised her head and looked at the blue sky as she solemnly replied, “If he really loved me then he wouldn’t have averted his anger toward me because of Grandpa’s intervention. And he wouldn’t have looked for a new girl and brought her to his mother’s grave. Maybe… He truly loves her. So instead of staying and making myself even more miserable I should just let him be free. This would mean I am being responsible with my own life.”
“Yu…” Jiang Wenwen heartbreakingly held on to her best friend’s shoulders as she understood what she was saying. She paused and asked Mu Yu in a worried manner, “You said you guys had a marriage contract so according to the contract, if you asked for a divorce, then you will have to pay for a penalty of four million to him! Do you even have that amount of money?”
“No.”
“If you don’t have it then don’t mention the divorce to him yet. Continue being his wife. No matter what happens, Young Master Qin is a well known person in An City. He has been through a lot recently and always had his eyes on the media. I believe he will be extremely aware of how he will be seen by the press and will do anything to keep a proper image of himself. So he would not ask for a divorce from you now, then you can use this opportunity to conquer his heart…”
Mu Yu understood that her best friend was eager because she cared about her. Mu Yu smiled bitterly as she cut off what she was trying to say, “I need this divorce to be done.”
“Then what about the penalty?”
Mu Yu silently stood up without replying. She wiped away her tears and tidied her messy hair. She took a few deep breaths and quickly walked out the park’s entrance.
Jiang Wenwen followed suit, “Where do you think you’re going?”
“To prepare the money for a divorce.”
“You wouldn’t make your parents sell the house, would you? Even if you did sell the house, you still owe a few zeros at the back!”
“I’ll find people to borrow from, then.”
“Borrow four million?! Who would be able to lend you that kind of money?!”
“I’ll ask around.” Mu Yu stopped at the entrance of the park, “You should go back home.”
“But…”
“I’m fine, I’ll call you if I need anything.”
“Then…”
Mu Yu ignored her best friend and went inside a cab that stopped at the side.
