My life is ending, and my aloof CEO wife is taking revenge on me.

Chapter 21 Song Yafei, let's get a divorce!

buzzing.

My phone started vibrating incessantly. This time, I didn't even look at the screen before I pulled out the SIM card and threw it out the window.

Xu Hu gripped the steering wheel, glanced at me, and asked, "Brother, are you really not going back to your wife's place?"

"I'm not going back. I'll never go back again."

I smiled faintly and turned my gaze to the scenery outside the window.

Soon, we arrived at Xu Hu's place.

This is a tenement building in the old city. The soundproofing is not very good, and the people living here are all struggling to survive.

However, they were quite familiar with Xu Hu. Wherever we went, people greeted him, which was a rare sight of human warmth.

"Brother, this is a one-bedroom apartment. You can stay in the bedroom inside, and I'll stay in the living room outside."

Pushing open the door, the room was somewhat old and simple, but Xu Hu had decorated it very warmly, and a faint smell of laundry detergent filled the air.

"That's too much trouble, I'll just stay in the living room."

"Brother, if you argue with me about this, then you're treating me like an outsider! Listen to me, you should go live in the bedroom. I go to work early every day, so it's convenient for me to live in the living room and it won't bother you."

As Xu Hu spoke, he put my light luggage into the inner room.

I was rushed into this hospital visit and didn't bring much with me except for a few sets of clothes and toiletries that Song Yafei had someone bring from home.

All the items combined didn't even fill a single schoolbag.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is all that truly belongs to me in the villa.

Previously, they could still have some custom-made suits, watches, tie clips, or other items that represented their status. But ever since Yu Chengliang appeared, he has borrowed these items under various pretexts and never returned them.

Just like my place in Song Yafei's heart, I was gradually squeezed out and then openly replaced.

"Brother, it's too late today. Let's just have a bowl of noodles for now and go out for a better meal tomorrow."

Xu Hu placed the cooked egg noodles in front of me and smiled sheepishly.

"Nothing tastes as good as home-cooked food; this is the best wedding feast."

I smiled as I picked up the bowl of noodles, and the warm soup warmed me right to the core.

"Brother, what are your plans for the future?"

"I'm going back to my old trade, but I've been away for a while, so I need to go into seclusion for a few days to pick up my old skills again."

"Brother, I have faith in you. There's nothing you can't do if you set your mind to it."

Xu Hu is an honest and simple man. He has always been like this since he was a child. No matter what I say, he always supports and trusts me unconditionally.

But as his older brother, I entered society earlier and live a glamorous life, yet I haven't been able to help him at all, which is truly shameful.

I placed my hand on his shoulder and patted him earnestly. "Xu Hu, if I can make a comeback, come and help me."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, brother."

We smiled at each other, as if we had returned to the days we spent together in the orphanage.

With goals and friends, I studied even harder, absorbing knowledge like a sponge from the gaps in my knowledge accumulated over the years.

Before I knew it, it was almost time for my appointment with Uncle Feng.

Lin Qiuran should be back from his business trip soon, so I thought I should contact him first and went to the commercial street to get a replacement phone card.

I found his number in my cloud contacts, and as soon as I turned on my phone, I called him.

"Hello, it's me..."

"Zhang Tian! Where have you been? Do you know how worried we've been these past few days?"

As soon as I spoke, Lin Qiuran on the other end of the phone immediately recognized my voice and reprimanded me in a trembling voice.

"Where have you been all these days? The first thing I did when I got back was go to the hospital to look for you, but they said you had already been discharged. Even President Song couldn't find you, and the villa's security guards hadn't seen you either. We even went to the police!"

It felt so good to be cared for. I smiled for the first time in days and apologized, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you beforehand and made you worry. I've been staying with my friend recently."

Lin Qiuran breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as you're safe, that's all that matters. How have you been feeling these past few days? Have you been feeling unwell anywhere?"

"I'm fine, and I have no health problems whatsoever."

"That's good! I can finally relax knowing you're alright. You little rascal, were you trying to scare me to death these past few days?"

Lin Qiuran's tone relaxed slightly. They walked to a secluded spot and whispered, "You left so suddenly this time, and you didn't go back to the villa. Have you already made a decision?"

"Ah."

We both understood each other implicitly; we both knew the unspoken meaning of those words was to completely sever ties with the past.

Hearing my answer, Lin Qiuran remained silent for a long time before sighing, "That's for the best, let's both let each other go."

"Zhang Tian, ​​now that you've made your decision, don't look back. Move forward with big strides. Ignore the voices from the outside world and just be yourself."

"Thank you."

"Okay, I'm going to work now. Call me if you need anything."

"Ah."

Actually, I wanted to talk about repaying the money so he wouldn't worry, but he didn't say anything about money.

Such profound trust brought tears to my eyes.

His and Xu Hu's trust in me is what motivates me to keep going.

For their sake, I must live well!

......

In the afternoon, I brought takeout home and found Xu Hu sitting on the sofa with his phone, seemingly on the phone.

He turned and glanced at me, his expression somewhat strange.

Before I could ask him what was wrong, a familiar voice came from his cheap, knock-off phone.

"Give him the phone."

"...Brother, it sounds like it's your wife on the phone."

Xu Hu looked at me awkwardly and timidly handed me his phone.

"Yeah, it's nothing."

I patted him on the shoulder to indicate that he didn't need to feel guilty.

With Song Yafei's connections and abilities, she can find me anytime, anywhere if she wants to; it's just a matter of whether she's willing to or not.

"Hey."

I put my phone to my ear.

"Come back, I've already had Yu Chengliang move out."

Song Yafei on the other end of the phone got straight to the point, her tone still carrying an air of superiority.

It's as if I'm just a child who wants a toy, and she's finally agreed to buy it for me.

But she didn't know that I no longer wanted it.

"Yafei, I'm not going back."

"Zhang Tian, ​​there's a limit to being unreasonable. I've already made concessions, what more do you want!"

Song Yafei lost her patience, and her voice suddenly rose.

In her mind, everything I'm doing now is just competing with Yu Chengliang for her favor.

But I'm really tired.

"Song Yafei, let's get a divorce."
