Fang Jian and Dong Yan came to pick me up.
On the way, Fang Jian said to me, "Originally, Yu Fengshu wanted to come pick you up too, but his child is sick, so he couldn't make it. I came instead."
I smiled lightly and replied, "The child is sick?"
"Yes."
"Then he should take good care of the child."
Fang Jian glanced at me and asked, "You... still can't forgive him, can you?"
I chuckled softly, "There's nothing to forgive; this matter no longer concerns me."
Fang Jian sighed, "Ah, you two clearly love each other, yet it has come to this."
I smiled again and remained silent.
Dong Yan insisted that I stay at her place. She said to me, "It's a waste for me to live in such a big house alone, so you have to keep me company."
I didn't refuse.
That night, lying on the familiar bed, I quickly fell asleep. It was the best sleep I had in over a year.
After a good night's rest, I woke up the next day to find that Dong Yan had already gone to work.
I knew she had been busy with a major case recently, so I didn't disturb her.
After freshening up, I received a call from Yu Fengshu.
" Ma Jia, you're back in the country?" His voice was filled with surprise and excitement.
"Yes."
"Then... can I see you?"
"Yu Fengshu," I called out his full name, "In one week, it's our Divorce Case's second hearing."
There was silence on the other end of the line.
A few seconds later, he finally spoke up:
"Why won't you even give me a chance?"
His voice was filled with pain.
"Yu Fengshu, the first trial of the Divorce Case has been over for a year. This is the best evidence of the relationship breakdown."
"So what? Ma Jia, are you really so eager to divorce me?"
"Yes."
A heavy breath came from the other end of the line.
"Yu Fengshu, calm down."
"Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down?"
Yu Fengshu's voice was full of anguish.
" Ma Jia, how can you treat me like this?"
"I have already been more than fair to you."
"You plotted against me!" Yu Fengshu shouted.
"From the very beginning, you had it all planned out, didn't you?"
"If that's how you see it, then yes."
" Ma Jia!"
I hung up the phone.
The second trial verdict came down.
This time, Yu Fengshu and I directly ended our marriage.
Yu Fengshu looked completely defeated, his eyes bloodshot.
As for me, I let out a sigh of relief.
Finally... it's over.
" Ma Jia, are you happy now?"
"Whether I'm happy or not has nothing to do with you."
"But I hate you."
"Yu Fengshu, whether you hate me or not is no longer important."
I turned to leave, but Yu Fengshu suddenly caught up with me, gripping my wrist tightly: " Ma Jia, stop!"
I turned to look at him.
His eyes were bloodshot: "Do you even have a heart?"
"Yu Fengshu, why are you so fixated on this?"
"Tell me, do you really have a heart?" he asked insistently.
"Does it matter?"
"It matters a lot to me."
"Then let's say I don't."
I left.
As I walked out of the courthouse, the sky was overcast.
Just like when I left the country a year ago.
But that day, I had just left Yu Fengshu,
and today, I had completely ended things with Yu Fengshu.
I was going abroad for the second time.
This time, I stayed overseas for six months.
During those six months, I often kept in touch with Dong Yan.
Meanwhile, Yu Fengshu sent me an email while I was abroad.
He said he was sorry for me.
I replied, "Since it’s already wrong, what’s the point of saying sorry again?"
He took a long time to respond.
Later, I returned to my home country.
This time when I came back, I had been promoted and received a raise; my future looked bright.
Dong Yan joked with me, "You’re now doing the best among our group."
I laughed and said, "Of course!"
