After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Li Shiwen picked up the phone as soon as it rang twice: "Hello, Sister Zhou Dan, why did you think of calling me at this time?"

Zhou Dan heard the rustling sound of papers being shuffled on the other end of the line and asked, "Are you still working overtime so late?"

Li Shiwen smiled with some helplessness and said, "Well, I'm working overtime. There is a document that the secretary urgently needs tomorrow."

Zhou Dan half-jokingly joked: "It's really not easy for you to be a secretary."

Li Shiwen smiled and said, "Sister Zhou, let's just talk about the eldest sister, not the second sister. Don't you discipline inspectors often work overtime? You are all hard-working workers."

Zhou Dan smiled and said slowly after a moment's silence: "Shiwen, I have a question for you. Is it convenient for you to answer it?"

Li Shiwen noticed the seriousness of Zhou Dan's tone, put away the smile on his face, and said seriously: "Sister Zhou, ask!"

Zhou Dan raised his hand slightly and scratched his forehead subconsciously. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke: "Can you tell me what the relationship between Zhizhou and Xuanbao was in the past?"

After Zhou Dan finished speaking, the other end of the phone fell into a long silence. When Zhou Dan and He Zhizhou attended Jiawei's wedding together last time, he knew that Zhou Dan and He Zhizhou were in love. Now she suddenly asked such a question, something must have happened between them.

Li Shiwen thought for a moment and asked softly, "Sister Zhou Dan, can I ask what happened between you and Brother Zhizhou?"

Zhou Dan sighed quietly and said slowly: "Since I asked you today, I don't want to hide it from you. In fact, I have been with Zhizhou for so long, and I have always been the one who took the initiative, and he always passively accepted it. I thought he was just this kind of introverted personality. But tonight, we went out to watch a movie, and then we met Xuanbao. She had a fever and fainted. I found that the way Zhizhou looked at Xuanbao was very unusual, with a passion that I had never seen before."

Zhou Dan felt bitter when she said this. She had never thought about how humble she was in this relationship. Her active efforts all along seemed so powerless and pitiful in contrast to the special look He Zhizhou gave to Li Xuanbao.

After listening to Zhou Dan's story, Li Shiwen thought about it quickly in his mind and finally decided to tell the truth. After all, in their circle, it was no secret that He Zhizhou and Li Xuanbao were lovers. He paused and said, "Sister Xuanbao and Brother Zhizhou, they were each other's first love."

Although Zhou Dan expected this answer, he still couldn't help but smile bitterly. He said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I know. Shiwen, thank you for telling me this."

Li Shiwen said softly: "You're welcome."

After Zhou Dan hung up the phone, she raised her hand to hail a taxi. She opened the door and got in, then lowered the window and let the night wind blow into the car, ruffling her hair.

Her eyes were filled with tears, which, blown by the wind, fell behind the car like beads with broken strings, and gradually blurred in the night. Only her forlorn and slightly lonely figure was left in the car, immersed in endless sadness and thought.

The taxi slowly stopped at the gate of Zhou Dan's community. Zhou Dan sat in the car for a moment, then took out his mobile phone with a wooden expression and tapped quickly on the screen: "Zhizhou, let's break up!"

After clicking send and paying the fare, Zhou Dan immediately turned off her phone, as if this would cut off all ties with this painful relationship. She wiped the remaining tears from her eyes with the back of her hand, took a deep breath, opened the car door, got out, and walked into the community with slightly heavy steps.

At this time in the hospital, He Zhizhou, who was accompanying Li Xuanbao, heard his cell phone vibrate. He picked it up and saw the text message from Zhou Dan, which made his heart tremble.

He called back without thinking, but the cold mechanical voice from the receiver told him that Zhou Dan's phone was turned off.

He Zhizhou stared blankly at the screen of his mobile phone, his heart was sour and bitter, full of helplessness and guilt. After a long time, he sighed and slowly edited a message: "I'm sorry, I hurt you. I hope you will be happy in the future!"

After sending the text message, he gently put the phone aside. He seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He lay on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, trying to calm his disordered thoughts.

At this moment, He Zhizhou suddenly felt his hand being gently held by a cold yet wet hand. He was startled and quickly raised his head and looked at the bed.

Li Xuanbao's face was still as pale as paper. She raised her head slightly, staring at He Zhizhou with a hint of joy and attachment in her eyes. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a weak smile, and she called softly, "Brother Zhizhou!"

He Zhizhou had just experienced a breakup and was feeling mixed emotions. Seeing Li Xuanbao wake up, he calmed down. He slowly raised his hand and gently placed his palm on Li Xuanbao's forehead, carefully feeling the slight warmth. After a moment, he said, "The fever is gone. How do you feel now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

Li Xuanbao shook his head slightly, then nodded and said weakly, "Brother Zhizhou, I'm thirsty."

He Zhizhou stood up and said, "I'll get you a glass of warm water."

On the other side, at Zhou Dan's home, Zhou's father and mother were leisurely sitting in the living room watching TV. Hearing the door open and seeing Zhou Dan coming back, Zhou's mother smiled and stood up quickly, saying, "Dandan is back, did the prefect send you back? Why don't you let him come up and sit for a while!"

When Zhou Dan heard the three words "He Zhizhou", his body suddenly stiffened, and he stood there for a moment as if he was under a spell.

Then, she slowly turned her head and looked at Zhou's mother with empty eyes. She forced a smile that was uglier than crying and said in a casual manner, "Dad, Mom, the prefect and I broke up."

Zhou's father and mother were shocked when they heard what Zhou Dan said. To be fair, they had always been quite satisfied with He Zhizhou.

Although He Zhizhou is slightly older than Zhou Dan, he has a good family background, a decent job with good prospects, and is calm and reliable in his dealings with others. Taking all factors into consideration, He Zhizhou really deserves a score of 90 in their hearts.

Zhou's mother was the first to react and asked hurriedly, "Did you two have a fight? It's unavoidable for a couple to quarrel occasionally, so don't break up on impulse."

Zhou Dan opened her mouth and wanted to explain to her mother the whole story, but before she could say anything, tears welled up in her eyes like a flood.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Dan threw herself into her mother's arms and burst into tears, her tears filled with endless grievances, sadness and loss.
