Chapter 291: 291 Divorce Signing and Leaving (5) _1
She was finally leaving a place where she had lived for four years, and deep down, she did feel sowhat regretful.
Eleven didn’t think it was because she had fallen for Gu Liancheng or anything like that. The human heart could grow attached to even inanimate objects if used for a long ti, let alone another living being.
Even without love, the two of them shared four years of deep camaraderie. The thought of a sudden separation felt odd, an unexplainable sensation in her heart.
Whatever, she didn’t want to think about it. So things couldn’t be put off indefinitely. Separation had to co eventually.
Just about everything regarding their divorce had been arranged, all she had left to do was sign. What was she waiting for?
After a mont of contemplation, she realized that Gu Liancheng had left the divorce agreent on the bedside table but hadn’t brought it up, perhaps to spare her feelings? Waiting for her to find it herself, sign it, and leave, seed like the most dignified way for both of them.
Hadn’t his intentions beco clear at this point? There was no need for him to tell her directly: You should move out.
Therefore, after learning that he and Shang Muxue had set a date for their engagent, Eleven had beco even more firm in this resolve.
Better to leave on your own than to be kicked out.
...
"Hello, I’m looking for Lawyer Allen."
"Please wait a mont." The receptionist smiled, dialed a number, and asked, "May I know your na?"
"My na is Fang Eleven."
"Alright, Lawyer Allen is expecting you upstairs. Take a left on the third floor, it’s the last room."
"Okay, I know."
She had been to this place before.
Many years ago, in this exact room, she signed their agreent.
Upon hearing that Fang Eleven had arrived, Allen himself ca to greet her at the door, treating her very respectfully: "Miss Fang, please co in."
Allen’s assistant, who was new, didn’t recognize Fang Eleven, and was puzzled about Allen’s respect for her.
After all, Allen stands at the pinnacle of the legal profession; it is usually others who show respect to him.
Allen ushered his assistant out, suggesting this matter was highly confidential.
"Miss Fang, what brings you here today?" asked Allen.
"Oh, you know the saying, ’No one visits a temple without a cause’." Eleven placed the divorce agreent on the table. "I’m not here to chat. Here, this is for you."
Allen surely knew what it was, he just didn’t know why she had brought it here today.
Taking the docunt and opening it, he was taken aback, "This is..."
"A divorce agreent, could our esteed Lawyer Allen fail to read?" Eleven laughed heartily.
"This..."
Of course, he knew it was a divorce agreent!
But the problem was...
"Miss Fang, as far as I know, Mr. Gu is away on a business trip. Why are you giving
this now?"
"Does it need a specific ti? It’s signed by both of us. Isn’t that enough?"
"Well, it is enough..." Allen was sowhat confused.
Even though Allen had been sorting out their divorce proceedings these past few days, how did it get settled so quickly? Especially when Mr. Gu was away, it was progressing too fast...
"He’s away on a business trip, so there’s no need to bother him with such a trivial matter. I personally delivered it. What, are you not accepting it?"
"No, I accept it... I accept it..." Allen kept nodding his head.
The signature on it indeed belonged to Mr. Gu, and he had been pressing Allen to wrap things up faster. It was pretty much settled then.
Allen set the divorce agreent aside, stood up, and retrieved the docunts he had prepared a few days ago. He knew he’d need them soday, but he hadn’t expected that day to co so soon.
