Chapter Seven: Divorce

Sure enough, everyone looked over when they heard this.

Xu Zirui felt a tightness and a dull ache in his chest.

Zhang Shengtian approached, looking indignant.

"Dr. Xu, this guy is clearly deliberately causing trouble. I'll kick him out for you right now!"

Xu Zirui weakly waved his hand.

"No need, I'm tired and want to go back to rest."

Just as he was about to leave, Meng Chengze took a big step forward and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"Dr. Xu, don't rush off. Don't you want to chat with us a little longer?"

Jiang Xin's expression was complex and difficult to decipher.

"Cheng Ze, let's go first, don't waste time with him here."

Meng Chengze smiled.

"It won't delay. Besides, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to thank Mr. Xu for his kindness."

"Mr. Xu, I'll definitely book a separate table for you at our wedding and toast you properly!"

Xu Zirui's face grew increasingly pale, and his breathing became rapid and labored.

Zhang Shengtian couldn't listen to it any longer and took a step forward.

"That's enough, don't push your luck!"

Meng Chengze glanced at him.

"And where did you come from? Do you even have the right to speak here?"

Zhang Shengtian snorted coldly.

"Dr. Xu is a benefactor to the Zhang family. You'd better apologize to him properly, or you'll face the consequences!"

Meng Chengze was immediately amused.

"Xinxin, isn't this guy ridiculous? I was talking to Dr. Xu, what's it to him? He's really protecting his master."

"And you even asked me to apologize? Haha, you really think you're someone important, but you're just a clown."

Jiang Xin looked over, and her body suddenly froze!

Her gaze had been fixed on Xu Zirui, and she hadn't noticed Zhang Shengtian's presence.

"Okay, stop talking..."

Jiang Xin whispered a reminder.

"Um... Hello, Mr. Zhang."

Her tone was respectful.

Zhang Shengtian gave a cold laugh.

"So this is the person President Jiang recently found? I'm telling you, your judgment is really not very good."

Jiang Xin clenched her fists and didn't say anything.

As things stand, the Jiang Group does not yet have the strength to rival the Zhang family.

Meng Chengze's expression changed instantly, and he immediately moved closer, like a lapdog.

"So you're Mr. Zhang! It's a pleasure to meet you. I've been wanting to visit you for a long time."

He reached out with a forced smile, but was completely ignored.

"Visit me? You're not worthy."

"This……"

Meng Chengze stood there awkwardly, his hand frozen in mid-air.

“Apologize to Dr. Xu properly, or I’ll make sure you have nowhere to stand in Jinghai. If you don’t believe me, you can try me.”

Although Zhang Shengtian's words were plain, they contained an undeniable firmness.

Meng Chengze scratched his head, somewhat at a loss.

Just then, Xu Zirui spoke up.

"No need to apologize, it was nothing to begin with. I'm leaving now."

He turned and left, his back view showing his loneliness. Jiang Xin frowned, her heart filled with complicated emotions.

……

After returning home, Xu Zirui was troubled and his mind was constantly filled with images of that beautiful woman.

On the other hand, Jiang Xin's test results were all normal, and the symptoms in her legs had been almost completely cured.

Meng Chengze wrapped his arms around her waist.

"That's great, Xinxin, you're alright. I told you you're lucky."

Jiang Xin forced a smile, but she clearly lacked happiness.

Meng Chengze greeted the examining doctor.

"Thank you, doctor!"

The doctor merely glanced at him, his tone indifferent.

"No need to thank me, thank Dr. Xu instead, it's all thanks to him."

Both of them looked somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

After leaving the hospital, Meng Chengze affectionately held Jiang Xin's hand.

"Xinxin, now that we have nothing to worry about, let's hurry up and get married."

"You should get a divorce from Xu Zirui first. This can't be dragged on forever."

Jiang Xin didn't agree immediately; her eyes darted around, clearly showing some hesitation.

Meng Chengze put his arm around her waist again and spoke tenderly.

"Xinxin, we've been through so much together, and it wasn't easy for us to finally be together. What are you still worried about?"

"Are you still blaming me? I was really trapped back then and couldn't get out, but my sincerity towards you is as clear as day!"

After a barrage of sweet words, Jiang Xin fell for him once again.

"Yes, I will inform him to sign the divorce papers."

Meng Chengze grinned; his goal had been achieved.

"it is good!"

……

Meanwhile, Xu Zirui only rested at home for one day before returning to the hospital.

I originally planned to take a short holiday to rest, but now it seems that it's really unnecessary.

The reason is simple: he feels even more empty and lonely at home, and currently, only busy work can make him temporarily forget his pain.

He underwent three high-intensity surgeries in one go, and his breathing became rapid.

A colleague handed over a towel and a sweet treat to replenish his sugar levels.

"Go and rest. Your stomach problem isn't better yet. If you keep going like this, you'll ruin your health."

"Anyway, the dean has granted you leave, so take this opportunity to spend some quality time with your parents."

His colleague patted him on the shoulder, but didn't make his point too explicit.

Xu Zirui shook his head.

"It's okay, I'm just idling at home anyway, I can manage."

His colleague had no choice but to let him go back to the office to rest. As soon as he got to the office, his phone beeped.

Xu Zirui picked it up casually and took a look, but his heart couldn't help but tremble when he saw the contact information on it!

Upon opening the message, a line of text came into view.

"Come to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get the divorce papers done."

Xu Zirui took a deep breath, knowing in his heart that what was meant to happen would eventually come.

Civil Affairs Office.

Jiang Xin and Meng Chengze had been waiting for a long time.

Looking at Xu Zirui's weak face, Jiang Xin felt a mix of concern and a hint of smugness.

It seems that he is having sleepless nights and losing his appetite because he is thinking about divorcing himself.

Meng Chengze mocked.

"Oh my, it's only been a day, why does Dr. Xu look so pale? Could it be that you're reluctant to part with him?"

"Sigh, although I am very grateful to you, matters of the heart cannot be forced. Dr. Xu, you must adjust your mindset."

A wicked smile played on his lips, and his tone was full of sarcasm.

Xu Zirui gave only a perfunctory response.

"It's nothing. The hospital has been too busy lately, and I haven't had enough rest. Let's get the paperwork done quickly; I need to go back to work."

Jiang Xin didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a pre-prepared excuse.

Since neither party objected, the divorce proceedings were completed quickly.

For some reason, Jiang Xin felt a pang of pain as the stamp was finally applied.

Xu Zirui's heart was already riddled with holes, and he was in so much pain that he had lost all feeling.

"Alright, from now on we have nothing to do with each other, and we'll never see each other again."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Jiang Xin called out to him, and took out a property certificate from her bag. The certificate had several eye-catching characters printed on it: Jinghai Villa!

Jinghai Villas is a well-known upscale residential area in Jinghai, where everyone is either extremely wealthy or influential, and any property there is worth tens of millions.

Jiang Xin spoke calmly.

"Keep it; consider it my compensation to you."

Before Xu Zirui could speak, Meng Chengze snatched the property certificate back.

"Xinxin, that's not right of you. You're hurting Dr. Xu's pride."
