Sweet Wife in My Arms - Chapter 257

Chapter 257: Divorced

Little Bean yawned and stretched lazily, she couldn’t open her eyes.

Yi Ling rocked the cat for a long time but in the end, she could only throw her on the sofa. She broke out in a cold sweat with anxiety. With it being winter, you could imagine how nervous she was.

It was eight o’ clock and they could go out finally.

When they arrived at the cinema, Yi Ling dragged Yan Huan to see the film schedule. Her heart sank at the schedule, as the rolling titles on the screen were the high-cost films of well-known directors. The majority of people came for those blockbusters, while the casting of Divorced was unknown to the public, they did not even have a premiere but paid out of their pockets to watch it.

She felt bad at first but she burst with joy when the titles rolled on the film, Divorced and the lead actress, Yan Huan.

Well, it’s okay, Yan Huan just starting her career and she has a long way to go. They didn’t want to compare with others this time. As long as she had worked hard, her effort wouldn’t waste.

At least, Yan Huan proved herself.

She bought two tickets of Divorced and then, they waited for the show.

Other films were almost fully scheduled from morning eight until midnight twelve, while Divorced had only two slots even with this being its first-run. Two slots, a miserable two.

However, Yi Ling had already been gratified. Though it was a cut-throat competition on New Year’s Day, the films that were able to release at this time would have a good reputation all around. At least, everyone could remember Yan Huan’s first film was released on New Year’s Day when they mentioned her in the future.

Yi Ling and Yan Huan got to their seats before the play began. The cinema was empty that there were only a few people inside. They felt like they had booked the whole cinema.

Yi Ling couldn’t help sighing, but she dared not show it in front of Yan Huan. She was afraid Yan Huan would be upset.

At the same time, a couple walked into the cinema. The girl kept complaining, “I want to watch swordsman film, but you asked me to watch a literary film. It is a sheer waste of time to watch the literary film.”

“The tickets cannot be returned.” The boy looked at the ticket in his hand and felt aggrieved. “I did buy the wrong tickets but we can’t waste it, right? We watch this first and tomorrow we will watch another, okay?”

The girl was not pleased with his words but she still sat down as she couldn’t leave right now. Thus, she could only put up with it and watch this boring literary film to the end.

Soon after, the lights of the cinema faded to dark, and the play began.

It was better than Yi Ling expected. There were five or six people in the cinema besides both of them.

She was relieved at this as long as they didn’t sustain losses.

Though there were only five to six people, there were so many cinemas in the country. If there were five to six people in each cinema, they would get at least hundreds of thousands yuan at the box office. Besides, the cost of this film was very low and thus, let’s put it aside whether it would make a profit or a loss.

The play soon began. It was the scene of the greenery campus. Some of the audiences watched absent-mindedly at first, but the play gripped the audiences with the development of dramatic action. Pure love in the campus, a sincere heart of the couple. The female lead was very beautiful at their first glance, and she had excellent acting skills especially when she acted with the feeling of ambivalence, the audience would have the same feeling with her too.

After they graduated, the girl gave up the job which her parents got it for her and then she went to a strange city with her boyfriend to make a living. They suffered a great deal, especially the girl, she delivered newspapers door to door, swept the streets, gathered the scrap plastics and bottles, and went hungry. When she found out she was pregnant, she loathed to part with it, but she had to abort the child.

From that moment, Yi Ling suddenly felt a lump in her throat and she didn’t know why she cried. Then she could hear other voices in the cinema. She actually heard someone crying.

Later, the boy became a man and the girl became a woman. She was old and no longer pretty, while the man was successful in business and began to seek extramarital affairs.

When she saw her husband fooling around with another woman with her own eyes, the audiences could feel her sadness, her agony and her stubborn. Then, she fell on the ground, the ground soon covered with blood, she crawled forward and her fingers were stained with blood.

Later, the woman flatly divorced the man. She went back to her hometown with scars all over, and she met another man over there. The man became her salvation, he warmed her cold heart slowly with his patience and his warmth. Then, the woman married the man, she was pregnant and gave birth to a child one year later. The child was the crystallization of their love.

As for the man, he no longer concealed himself after the woman left. He began engaged in improper sexual relationships and slept away his life.

However, he contracted a disease from a woman and he travelled around to seek treatment without running his business. A few years later, his company had gone bankrupt but he was not cured.

At this moment, he was already in his thirties. He was too ashamed to face his parents and return to his hometown. In the end, he sold his house and rent a room, and became an odd-job man.

The woman and her husband lived a good life. Her husband didn’t tell her that he came from a well-to-do family. He loved to earn everything with his own hands to support his wife and his daughter.

They lived in an easy and comfortable life.

A few years later, both of the men met at a reunion, but they were totally different.

One had a successful career and a beautiful wife, while the other had nothing but stricken by a disease.

The woman smiled at the man, her bright features had tinged with gentleness, and the time had given her maturity and intellectuality.

The man was overcome with regret. During the last scene, he went out and slowly disappeared in the dark. His back became weak and it became a dot in the end.

The lights lit up at the moment. The girl who was complaining at first complained again, “What is this all about? How could it make people crying? I want to watch again, let’s buy another ticket.”
