Sister Hua was slightly stunned by Ling Chuxia’s sudden request, but she quickly recovered and nodded eagerly, "Of course, that’s okay."
Then, she took out a mobile phone from her pocket and handed it to Ling Chuxia.
Ling Chuxia held the phone in her palm, gripping it tightly, then she began to dial the numbers one by one before pressing the call button.
She brought the phone to her ear, the dial tone buzzing in her side.
After a long while, soone on the other end picked up, still that laid-back voice tinged with a hint of huskiness, the tone carrying its usual haughtiness, "Who is it?"
"Xinxin, it’s ."
"Xiaxia?" The voice on the other end flashed with surprise, "Why is it you? I saw this number and it’s so unfamiliar, I thought it was soone else."
Ling Chuxia did not have the strength to explain anything to Ji Xinxin. She just slowly continued, "Xinxin, I need your help with sothing."
Ling Chuxia’s voice was weak, and she spoke without energy. Ji Xinxin imdiately sensed that sothing was off with Ling Chuxia. Her elegant brows furrowed, yet instead of asking right away, she said, "Hmm? Tell ."
"Find a lawyer to draft a divorce agreent."
"What?" Ji Xinxin exclaid loudly, her eyes widened in disbelief, unable to imagine those words coming from Ling Chuxia’s mouth.
Over the years, Chuxia had done so much, made so many efforts to avoid divorcing Shi Che—all of which she had seen. How could she suddenly want a divorce agreent?
Ji Xinxin took a deep breath before speaking again, "Xiaxia, what... what do you need a divorce agreent for? Are you going to divorce Shi Che?"
"Yes, I want to divorce Shi Che."
Ling Chuxia’s answer was unequivocal. Even though she spoke slowly and her voice was frail, each word was spoken clearly and definitively.
Ji Xinxin gasped sharply at her firm response, completely stunned.
Sister Hua, who was standing nearby, was also shocked. From the mont she heard Ling Chuxia ntion finding a lawyer, she was shaken, not to ntion her final statent.
What was happening? Why would the Young Madam want to divorce the young master out of the blue?
My God... What on earth happened yesterday? How could things have changed so drastically overnight?
It took Ji Xinxin several minutes to regain her senses. She swallowed hard, her voice brimming with extre confusion, "Xiaxia, why do you suddenly want a divorce?"
At the last birthday party, Chuxia had told her that she had realized her true feelings, that she didn’t want to keep running from the fact she had fallen in love with Shi Che and was considering coming clean to him. How... how could she want a divorce in the blink of an eye?
Could it be...
Ji Xinxin’s eyes quickly flashed with astonishnt as if she had realized sothing, hastening to ask, "Xiaxia, have you already co clean with Shi Che? He... he didn’t accept... did he?"
"I don’t want you, I don’t want the child, Ling Chuxia, let’s get a divorce."
As Ji Xinxin spoke, Shi Che’s text ssage flashed rapidly through Ling Chuxia’s mind. She had thought she had seen through it all, yet it felt as though sothing was still viciously gripping at her heart, causing her almost suffocating pain.
Why bother with confession? His answer had been so direct, so brutal, so devoid of any compassion. Just like his usual cruel coldness.
It was she who had been delusional.
