Before and After Divorce

Xia Tingwan knew he was awake, but he didn't want to open his eyes. When his body was wrapped in a soft quilt, it was like Su Yan's embrace in his dream.

He is reluctant to leave, and he does not want to return to the cold reality. It is good to be able to hide in the memories that seem like dreams but not dreams, even if it is only 10 minutes or 3 minutes.

Xia Tingwan took a deep breath under the quilt, and sat up tiredly after the alarm bell rang again.

He just started dealing with his personal finances with Zhao Nanshu today.

Of course, this matter should have been started long ago, but Xia Tingwan was not in the mood, so Zhao Nanshu didn't want to bother him.But after knowing about Yin Ning, he has decided to take care of Yin Ning himself, and there are many things that need to be taken care of without delay.

But after careful consideration, he realized for the first time how miserable his financial situation was, and he didn't look like a star who had once been in full swing.

He married Su Yan at the beginning because the capital chain of his stepfather's company was broken. Not only could he not pay the wages of the workers, he owed a large amount of money to the bank, and he also borrowed a lot of private usury loans.

Although Xia Tingwan was in the limelight when he won the best actor in Cannes, but he was shooting literary films, not big-budget commercial films, and he was a pure rookie when he signed the filming contract.The only thing with any weight on hand is the Asia-Pacific endorsement of a European luxury brand, and the next play has not yet been chosen.

Economically, he couldn't fill such a big hole for his stepfather. Although he had a bad relationship with his stepfather and mother, it was not an option for his mother to be hysterical at home all day long, looking for life and death.

So I still went to Su Yan.

At that time, Su Yan had been pursuing him for nearly half a year, saying that he was pursuing him, but in fact, his relationship with Su Yan was already the closest person.

Su Yan visited the class frequently, arranged appointments with him carefully, and took him on vacation abroad.He likes Su Yan.

They all knew that it was a relationship that would start at any time, but he was still greedy for the playfulness, ambiguity and pleasure before the relationship was established, so Su Yan just followed him, and was never in a hurry to reveal the relationship.

That incident was a sudden opportunity.

Of course, he didn't ask Su Yan for money as a matter of course, but just wanted to borrow it.

At that time, he was so smooth and crazy that he felt that with his own fame, it was only a matter of time before he wanted to get back.

Su Yan didn't express his attitude at first, but first met with his mother and stepfather in private. He didn't know what they talked about, but he could guess it.Zhang Xueqiao is the kind of woman who can sell him at a clearly marked price without feeling guilty, but instead feels that she is a good mother for him.

After that one side, Su Yan forcefully brought up the matter of marriage, without turning things around.

He often feels that he can't understand Su Yan. Su Yan is a mystery in his life that has not been fully solved until now.

Su Yan is gentle, but wrapped in gentleness, there is also a kind of deep-rooted domineering and toughness.

In their relationship, he was the one who was indulged and loved, but he always had a faint fear of Su Yan in his heart.

He couldn't shake Su Yan's big decision even once.

It's like the marriage that couldn't be avoided no matter how much you begged for mercy, the drunk driving accident that was solved for him without saying a word, or the simple divorce that only said "neither love nor hate".

He never had a choice.

But dependence is a habit. When they were together, Su Yan's strength gave him an unprecedented sense of security.

He kept erecting his rebellious barbs in the allowed area, and childishly vented the pointless anger that had been controlled by his life, but in fact he was so afraid of growing up in his bones.

Su Yan threw him out of this marriage, and he finally faced the world without any concealment.

On the eve of the wedding, Xia Tingwan told Su Yan that she would leave the house after divorce.

Su Yan agreed, and signed a prenuptial agreement at that time, so when it came to divorce, there was no such thing as property division at all, so it was easy to calculate.

In fact, Su Yan didn't pay much attention to the so-called leaving the house. After getting married, he opened a joint account with him immediately, but he didn't like to use Su Yan's money, so he never touched that account.

Looking back now, Xia Tingwan felt that he was really a complete idiot.

He was expressing his anger in an absurd manner, thinking that he could alleviate his humiliation a little by blaming each other.

But at the same time, he never felt any sense of financial crisis.

He is the kind of person who has no sense of financial management at all. When he earns the most, his money is squandered on luxury goods and supercars. Lincoln.

He never bought funds or futures for himself, didn't buy property overseas, didn't invest in opening stores like other stars, but paid off the mortgage for Zhao Nanshu one year as a year-end bonus.

His embarrassment is the inevitable result of a long-standing stupidity.

He talked about going out of the house, but in fact he never thought about getting a divorce, he never thought about being separated from Su Yan, never.

Apart from Su Zhai in Xiangshan, he didn't even have a single property in City H.

Only then did he realize how sharp Zhou Yang's words were.

His problem is that he always doesn't think so much.

He likes Su Yan, but he is powerless to manage this relationship.

He despised Su Yan's money, but never thought about it for himself.

He was annoyed that Su Yan controlled him, but he didn't have the foresight and courage to grow up.

His life is simply a comic in bold and capitalized.

-

"Boss, I didn't say, you... this is really miserable." Zhao Nanshu and Xia Tingwan stared at the final financial status form together, and he scratched his head: "Or take Yin Ning Live here? The house price is so crazy recently, there is no need to buy it now, and my house, after all, is the balance that you, the boss, helped to repay, so you can rest assured."

Xia Tingwan put his chin on the table and didn't answer Zhao Nanshu's words.

In fact, if he is alone, it really doesn't matter where he lives. Compared with other stars, his requirements in life are not particularly high.

Just thinking of Yin Ning made him feel uneasy. He wanted to give the child the best, and this was what he had to do.

But even he himself doesn't know what the best thing is.

At this moment, his phone rang. Xia Tingwan looked down and saw that it was Zhang Xueqiao. He didn't want to answer it at first, but after thinking about it, he still picked up the phone.

"Xia Tingwan, you've grown up now. You haven't answered how many calls I've made, have you? Listen to me, I have to go home tonight, or I won't come back again."

Zhang Xueqiao's voice was sharp and piercing, even if the hands-free was not turned on, people around her could still hear her clearly, she only said a word and hung up the phone angrily.

Zhao Nanshu looked at Xia Tinggou in embarrassment, and asked tentatively, "Boss, do you want to go back?"

"En." Xia Tingwan took a deep breath, he will have a tough battle when he goes back tonight.

Zhang Xueqiao and her stepfather's house were read to him by Zhang Xueqiao for a long time, and he didn't want to buy it at first, after all, the price really made him dumbfounded.

Su Yan had seriously talked to him privately and advised him not to buy it.

Because that piece of land is second only to Xiangshan in the price of the land in H City, it can be said that rich people gather there, and with his stepfather's worth, it is uncomfortable to live in it.

He didn't listen to Su Yan at the time, and bought it for Zhang Xueqiao and his stepfather on their own initiative. What happened later proved that Su Yan was still right.

Soon after Zhang Xueqiao and her stepfather moved in, they started arguing, saying that people in the community were indifferent, and saying that other residents looked down on them, insisting that Xia Tingwan buy them two more extended Lincolns and a housekeeper, because That's the standard for that area.

Afterwards, Xia Tingwan never talked to Su Yan about those bad things, let alone use Su Yan's money to deal with these things for his family.

At that time, he was so popular, and he was married to a rich and powerful man like Su Yan. For those two years, he didn't bother to remember how much money he made, it was just a number anyway.Therefore, he has never been too thoughtful when spending money. Even until now, the wages of the servants, housekeepers and drivers have been deducted from his account on a monthly basis.

Xia Tingwan hasn't worked much in the past year, and has no sense of crisis at all. It wasn't until now that she really needed the money that she realized that she was really stretched. Her account was almost empty, and she was still being held by Zhang Xueqiao. They are sucking blood, which is really bad.

He thought in his heart that Zhang Xueqiao and his stepfather couldn't be said to be comfortable living there anyway, so it's better to ask them to sell the real estate, and save the money to support the scene.

He didn't expect to return all the house money to him, as long as he gave half of it to let him buffer during this time, and buy Yin Ning a house with a good environment.

But when Zhao Nanshu sent him to Zhang Xueqiao's house, he saw Su Yan's car parked in the driveway and the driver standing beside him at a glance, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Fuck," Zhao Nanshu could of course imagine what would happen: "Boss, don't you want to..."

Xia Tingwan didn't have time to talk, so he hurried inside anxiously.

Can he still not know what Zhang Xueqiao wants to do? During this period of time, there are hundreds of WeChat messages urging him to seek reconciliation, and he didn't reply to any of them. Now that Su Yan is called here, he is obviously anxious and wants to intervene in person. .

When he walked to the majestic high hall, Xia Tingwan couldn't help but gasped when he saw the scene in front of him.

I saw Zhang Xueqiao wearing a good blue cheongsam and a pair of emerald earrings on her ears, sitting on the leather sofa imposingly. The servants and security guards at home even stood in a row behind her, very majestic.

And Su Yan was alone, with no one with him, and sat opposite Zhang Xueqiao very politely.

Xia Tingwan felt so embarrassed that Zhang Xueqiao put on such a rich and wealthy attitude towards Su Yan, his scalp tingled.

In the past five years between him and Su Yan, Su Yan loved him too much, and even treated Zhang Xueqiao and his stepfather politely and modestly. Unexpectedly, he was divorced here, but Zhang Xueqiao became more and more confused, thinking that Su Yan was still the same Su Yan, who is obedient and obedient.

When Xia Tingwan came over, Zhang Xueqiao hadn't noticed him yet, so she said in a high voice, "Mr. Su, I've been divorced for so long, and I haven't heard a single thing from you. As a junior, you should act more properly. When you said you wanted to marry us Tingting, you didn’t have such an attitude. If you didn’t believe that you would treat Tingting well for the rest of your life, we wouldn’t agree so easily. Of course you helped us at that time, but to put it bluntly, If you pursue Ting Ting and want to live with Ting Ting, you have to show some sincerity. Normally, when a daughter marries a daughter, you have to get a dowry gift. When Ting Ting married you, we were still movie kings. That little money is very important to the Su family. It’s nothing, it’s not worth it in exchange for an actor? But now, it’s only been five years, and this is how you treat Tingting and us?”

"Of course, if you cheated, we can't forgive you. After all, everyone makes mistakes, but divorce—"

Su Yan didn't even speak yet, but after Xia Tingwan heard this, his eyes went dark.

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

He stepped in and stood between Su Yan and Zhang Xueqiao.

-

"Why did you call Mr. Su over for no reason? We have already settled the matter between me and him, so you don't need to intervene."

Xia Tingwan stared at Zhang Xueqiao angrily, with a very aggressive tone.

He was really furious, the sharp words Zhang Xueqiao threw at Su Yan just now made him restless, and he didn't even dare to turn his head to look at Su Yan's expression until now.

Su Yan never regarded pursuing him as a low-key thing, whether he was his fan at first or his husband later, he was serious and respectable.

But Zhang Xueqiao was different, she was vulgar and stupid, because of Su Yan's unreserved love, she was proud of Su Yan, he looked at Zhang Xueqiao's inability to recognize the status quo, and found it ridiculous and sad.

But at the same time, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable, thinking that those moments of self-willedness, in the eyes of Su Yan today, might be exactly the same disgusting.

"Don't need me to intervene?" Zhang Xueqiao stood up angrily, pointed at Su Yan with her finger stained with bright nail polish, and said, "If you can solve it, do you think I want to intervene? Calling him over is to ask him face to face—is it true that he said he would take care of you for the rest of his life?"

"Mom, stop talking."

Xia Tingwan shook his head vigorously: "Calm down, don't bother Mr. Su anymore."

"Why can't I say it?" Zhang Xueqiao pushed Xia Tingwan away, and took two steps towards Su Yan.

"Stop talking, we've already broken up completely. Mr. Su has no responsibility for me. Please, stop talking."

When Xia Tingwan said the last sentence, he couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Su Yan. The man sitting on the sofa folded his hands, his expression was calm and deep, as if the farce in front of him didn't exist, his voice Can't help but twist slightly because of the pain.

He knew that he and Su Yan were over, but he was really reluctant to say this sentence from his own mouth.

His heart was about to be torn apart, but Zhang Xueqiao was still using his wound to show off to Su Yan.

"Not responsible?"

Zhang Xueqiao didn't even care about her demeanor, sneered twice, and raised her voice: "When you got married, you didn't want to. You were under 20 years old at the time, you were so good-looking, and you were a big star who won the best actor. He Well, I'm 11 years older than you. Apart from having a little money, I might not be worthy of you. If he didn't force you step by step, vowed to love you forever, and begged you sincerely, why would you want to be with him? Marriage? In the end, I cheated you, and I regretted it after only five years—”

"Zhang Xueqiao - shut up!"

Xia Tingwan finally couldn't take it anymore, his body trembled slightly, and he roared loudly.

How could Zhang Xueqiao do this, like a butcher dismembered the shining points of his body one by one, he was young, he was good-looking, and he was a movie star, every bit more was more bargaining chips.

He yelled at Su Yan like he was selling pork in a vegetable market, erasing everything that was not good for him—belittled his Su Yan, belittled their feelings.

Thinking of Su Yan sitting there alone, listening to Zhang Xueqiao's inexplicable slander and accusations, he became so angry that he lost his mind.

"Listen to me clearly, no one forced me to get married back then."

He almost gritted his teeth and stared at Zhang Xueqiao and said, "I married Su Yan because I wanted to, because I fucking liked him--do you understand? You think I will really because of the 3000 million, because Is it because you want to save you and save Chu Tianlan's shit business?"

"How much affection do you think I have for you and Chu Tianlan? If it weren't for my liking for Su Yan, even if Chu Tianlan's company went bankrupt, even if the two of you filed for bankruptcy together and went to live in low-rent housing, I would only talk I'm sorry, but I'm not going to marry anyone for you."

"I'm not forced, I made my own decision - you can't control me, so you don't care about my business now, don't ask Mr. Su again, don't question him about anything, do you hear?"

Xia Tingwan panted heavily, this was the truth he had never said.

Times have changed, and Su Yan heard it in this situation, so embarrassing, so embarrassing, like a clumsy trick he played, a deliberate repentance, but he was sincere——

He almost wanted to cry, he wished he didn't say it at this moment, would Su Yan still believe it, would he care?

He really likes him, he is not forced.

-

Maybe it was because of Xia Tingwan's harsh words, or maybe it was because of Xia Tingwan's rare excited expression at this time.

Zhang Xueqiao didn't speak for a while, her eyes widened, her chest heaved slightly in astonishment, her gaze shifted from Xia Tingwan to Su Yan, as if she didn't know what to say for a while, and the atmosphere fell into embarrassment.

"aunt."

It was Su Yan who broke the silence first, his voice was steady, and he still called Zhang Xueqiao 'Auntie' as before. The fierce quarrel just now didn't seem to have caused any fluctuations in him: "I'm sorry about the divorce."

After he said these words, he seemed to be thinking about what to say next.

Xia Tingwan couldn't help turning his head to look over, Su Yan's eyes were a little empty, he didn't look at Zhang Xueqiao, he was silent for a while before continuing: "I made an oath when I married Tingwan—whether rich or poor, no matter day or night Fufu, healthy or not, will always love and cherish him until death. What he said at that time is true.”

Hearing the oath, Xia Tingwan's nose suddenly became sore.

He also said the same oath when he got married. He was too young that year, he just thought it was old-fashioned and plain, and didn't take it too seriously.

But hearing it now, it almost made him unable to breathe.

Su Yan studied abroad for many years when he was young, and he said the oath once in Chinese and then again in English

"Tilldeathdouspart." Su Yan said, he felt that the original English meaning was more meaningful.

"I'm sorry for not being able to keep my promise." Su Yan lowered his head, not knowing whether he was speaking to Zhang Xueqiao or Xia Tingwan.

The way his eyelashes drooped, he looked a little sad.

Stop saying sorry.

Xia Tingwan thought heartbreakingly, Su Yan, please, don't be sorry.

When he looked at Su Yan under the light, he suddenly found that Su Yan had lost weight.

The few meetings with Su Yan recently were very hasty, and every time he almost ran away as the end, he didn't even have time to look at Su Yan carefully.

He didn't realize it until today——

He used to like Su Yan's chin the most. It was square, a little fleshy, and usually looked deep.

But when he smiles, his chin lifts slightly, and the gap in the middle appears more charmingly. His teeth are white, exuding a kind of radiant and cuteness.

At that time, he often hugged Su Yan, bit Su Yan's chin, and teased him: "Su Yan, do you know that when you smile, you have the innocence of an old man."

But Su Yan lost weight, and his chin became thinner, so he was no longer so energetic, and he looked haggard when he lowered his head.

Xia Tingwan's heart was also tugged because of this.

"I can understand my aunt's dissatisfaction. You asked me to explain, and I came here, but the divorce has been decided. After I have officially explained to you tonight, I will not come again."

Su spoke very slowly, and his expression was very polite.

He stood up while talking, as if he had thought of something, and added: "Also, I didn't have an affair in marriage, we divorced peacefully. If my aunt doesn't believe it, you can ask a private investigator to investigate. If you find out, even Get a lawyer to sue me."

Compared with the aggressive Zhang Xueqiao, Su Yan was always calm.

After all, they are not people of the same class. When Zhang Xueqiao went crazy, she didn't even want to be ashamed. She even brought up the matter of receiving 3000 million yuan back then, and she also wanted to catch wind and shadows about her cheating. Like pulling it in.

But Su Yan was different, even if he was accused like this, he only firmly denied the cheating.

He knew that Zhang Xueqiao was at fault for the marriage, but he didn't dispute a word, whether it was disdain or consideration for Xia Tingwan's mood, he was still the restrained Su Yan.

Zhang Xueqiao stood there at a loss, until Su Yan had turned and left, unable to hold back even a rebuttal.

Xia Tingwan couldn't tell what it was like, he glanced at Zhang Xueqiao, although he was here to talk about the house tonight, but in this case, he felt that there was really nothing to talk about.

He didn't say anything, just turned his head and quickly chased outside.

In fact, he didn't know what to say to Su Yan, but he just wanted to take another look at Su Yan and say another word, even if it was just to say goodbye.

When Xia Tingwan chased him out, he realized that it was already raining heavily outside at some point, and the bean-sized raindrops were falling down with an astonishing force.

Su Yan was standing under the porch, as if waiting for the driver to bring the car over.

Xia Tingwan strode over, "Su Yan—"

He just opened his mouth to call out, but Su Yan hasn't turned his head yet.

At this moment, a flash of lightning cut through the night like a sharp sword, and the intense light turned the world into day at that moment.

And Su Yan's black Maybach was slowly driving forward, the light of lightning flashed across the glass window, and reflected in front of Xia Tingwan's eyes in a more dazzling form.

"Boom" sound.

Xia Tingwan felt as if his body had been pierced by lightning, and his heartbeat stopped for an instant.

Reflection of glass, glass...

It seemed that the scene before the car accident that day appeared before his eyes again, the rapid and sharp sound of brakes, the severe pain as if his body was being torn apart, and the sound of glass shattering.

His body went limp and he fell to the ground.

After a brief absence, Xia Tingwan felt that he was being surrounded by a familiar smell, which was faint but made people feel very safe.

He couldn't help but took a deep breath, only to realize that it was the cologne scent on Su Yan's body.

"It's okay, it's lightning..."

Su Yan gently covered his eyes with his hand to prevent him from seeing those dazzling and frightening lights. With the other hand, he protected him in his arms and whispered, "Don't be afraid."
