Chapter 507: Pleasure
Xu Pingfei really wanted to divorce Fang Pingjue.
When this news spread, it was shocking.
When Fang Yusheng heard about this, Xu Pingfei and Fang Pingjue had already gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Those who collected their marriage certificates now went to queue up early in the morning, all wanting to register their marriage in the morning. Usually, those who collected their divorce certificates did not have to follow many rules. When Fang Pingjue and Xu Pingfei appeared at the Civil Affairs Bureau, it was three in the afternoon, and the two of them went to take pictures separately.
Holding her single photo, Xu Pingfei suddenly recalled the scene of the two of them sitting on the long bench and taking photos twenty years ago when she and Fang Pingjue got married.
In the same room, the long and flat bench was there, but the people sitting on it were alone.
Fang Pingjue’s face darkened the entire time. When he signed his name, he still looked up at Xu Pingfei. Xu Pingfei was also looking at him.
For a moment, Xu Pingfei thought that Fang Pingjue would give in and apologize.
However, he said, "It’s not too late to regret it now."
Xu Pingfei, who was originally a little hesitant and couldn’t bear it, quickly wrote her name on the paper as if she was on steroids.
Fang Pingjue narrowed his eyes and wrote his name.
When he signed it, he used so much strength that the pen tip almost cut the white paper.
When they walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Xu Pingfei said to Fang Pingjue, "From today onwards, I won’t be going back to live with you. I’ll get someone to collect my things tomorrow. You can just ask Wan Lang to open the door for them." With that, Xu Pingfei walked with her sports shoes and got into her car.
Wan Lang stood beside Fang Pingjue and saw that his hand that was holding the walking stick seemed to be trembling. He asked softly, "Sir, if you really can’t bear to part, don’t sign the divorce agreement."
Fang Pingjue glared at him and said with a long face, "Who can’t bear to! This woman is stuffy and annoying. I want to see what tricks she can play."
That night, Xu Pingfei really did not go back.
The couple was divorced, and the two biological children did not even call.
The huge Fang family had four spacious and luxurious buildings, but only Fang Pingjue, Wan Lang, and two or three helpers lived in them. Fang Pingjue sat in the courtyard and could not help but think of the good times a few years ago. At that time, Fang Yusheng had just formed a family, and Fang Mu’s family was beautiful. Qingqing and Yu An were still studying and had not gone out to start independent families. Fang Pingjun would occasionally bring his children and wife home for dinner.
At that time, there were so many people in the dining room that they could barely sit.
Unlike now…
The next day, two men and a young lady really drove a small van and appeared at the Fang family’s entrance. They
He watched the youngsters enter and leave his house. Every time they went out, the house would become more spacious.
Xu Pingfei’s things were stuffed into the minivan.
When they left, the three of them even politely bade farewell to Fang Pingjue.
After the small van rumbled out of the Fang residence until there was no more sound, Fang Pingjue used the walking stick in his hand to smash the cups, teapots, and expensive oil paintings on the wall into pieces.
Wan Lang stood quietly outside the door. When he was done smashing the things in the house, he sighed.
"This family is broken up."
He looked up at the sky and thought of his grandfather, who had passed away many years ago. He said, "My family is broken up. There’s no need for me to stay, Old Sir."
When Fang Pingjue saw Wan Lang enter, he ordered him to call someone over and tidy up the house.
Wan Lang nodded.
After a while, a servant came with a box to settle the mess.
After the servant left, Wan Lang waited for Fang Pingjue to finish dinner alone. After he took a shower, he sat by the bed and drank the blood-pressure medicine. Only then did Wan Lang knock on Fang Pingjue’s door.
"What do you want?"
Wan Lang was the only one qualified to knock on his door.
Fang Pingjue sat by the bed and did not get up. He said to Wan Lang, "Just say it."
There was a moment of silence outside the door.
After a short silence, Wan Lang spoke. "Sir, I plan to resign and retire." He was already in his sixties. After serving the Fang family for half his life, it was time to enjoy life.
The house was especially quiet.
Wan Lang added, "My daughter is about to give birth. I want to go home and take care of my grandson and enjoy life."
Wan Lang and his wife could not give birth, so they adopted a girl when they were 39 years old. The girl was already 26 years old and was more than seven months pregnant.
Fang Pingjue said in a muffled voice, "Okay."
The next day, Wan Lang resigned. When the new butler arrived, he left.
The new butler was a man in his thirties. He was wearing a neat tailcoat and was an outstanding butler who had graduated from the Dutch International School of Butlers. He was indeed outstanding and did things meticulously. He was polite, but he looked stiff and official.
Every time Fang Pingjue saw this new butler, he would have a feeling in his heart that he was a lonely old man.
This side of the Fang family was sorrowful but the other side of the Fang family was happy.
After Fang Yusheng’s family heard about what happened around Fang Pingjue, Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng remained silent. Lisa frowned, and only Chi Baoguang smiled coldly. Then, she said, "He deserves to be ditched by his wife and children."
Fang Pingjue’s pitiful lonely life was accurately described.
On the other hand, Fang Zikai sighed disconsolately after knowing that Second Grandpa and Second Grandma had divorced. "Then, can we still see Brother Shan Shan again in the future?"
When Qiao Jiusheng heard this, she quickly asked Fang Yusheng, "Who’s taking care of Fang Shangui?"
Fang Yusheng said, "Aunt Xu took him away."
"I see…"
Seeing Fang Zikai looking at her expectantly, Qiao Jiusheng said, "Perhaps you can call and invite your Brother Shan Shan to our house to play."
"Really?"
Fang Zikai was very happy. He grabbed Qiao Jiusheng’s hand and was about to ask for Second Grandma’s number to call Brother Shan Shan.
Qiao Jiusheng told Fang Zikai the number and watched him run to make the call. She sighed and said, "I didn’t expect Aunt Xu to have a divorce just like that. I couldn’t tell."
Fang Yusheng did not comment.
He felt that Xu Pingfei was truly living the life she wanted now.
"Oh right, did you call Zhuang Long again? Did you ask Sister Yan about her condition?" Yan Yu was injured because she wanted to save Chi Baoguang. Logically speaking, they should call and ask about her. Fang Yusheng said that he did. "Ah Nuo is going to America today to pick Sister Yan up."
"Then what about Major General Sha?"
"They’re not married yet."
"That’s true."
Yan Nuo was indeed going to America to bring Yan Yu back.
After settling the matters in Mumbai, he boarded the plane to America..
