Song Wanwan slowly knelt on the ground, holding the ruler high, tilting her head back, and slowly shifting her gaze from Gu's mother to Gu's grandfather.

Although they looked very surprised, they were still in good spirits.

She repeated herself: "Gu Tingzhou and I are already divorced."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu's mother began to sob softly, "Wanwan, weren't you and Tingzhou getting along well just a few days ago? How did things come to this? And didn't you promise Grandpa that you would wait a little longer? Did Tingzhou do something to upset you again?"

Grandpa Gu said angrily, "Call that kid back. He made such a big decision on his own. Does he even care about us elders?"

Hearing their conversation, Song Wanwan's heart sank. Gu Tingzhou's return would complicate matters further, and it was uncertain when she could move out of the Gu family's old house.

It's best to solve it by yourself.

She said somewhat urgently, "Mom, Grandpa, please don't call him back. It was my insistence to get a divorce. I even waited for him all morning to get the divorce certificate. Please don't blame him; it was all my idea."

Grandpa Gu said somewhat angrily, "Wanwan, didn't you promise me that we'd wait a full year before considering divorce?"

Song Wanwan said with some guilt, "Grandpa, I'm sorry, there's no affection between Gu Tingzhou and me. Staying for another month won't change anything."

"I came back today to ask for my grandfather and mother's forgiveness, and I also ask for your permission to leave the Gu family and move out of the Gu family."

“I know I have let you down, but I really persevered, but I really can’t go on. I feel like I can’t breathe every day, and I’m living in agony.”

Mother Gu helped Song Wanwan up with a pained expression, gently patting her back. "Wanwan, it's not your fault. It's all Tingzhou's fault. He doesn't know how to cherish you. He'll regret it sooner or later."

Grandpa Gu stood with his back to Song Wanwan, his straight back conveying a sense of suppressed resentment. He sighed and said helplessly, "So be it. It was destined that you two would end up like this. Since he doesn't cherish you, let him regret it someday."

After saying that, Grandpa Gu glanced back at Song Wanwan and then walked out of the study.

Mrs. Gu pulled Song Wanwan to sit on the sofa and said reluctantly, "Wanwan, what will you do all by yourself in the future!"

Song Wanwan comforted her, "Don't worry, Aunt Gu, I can take care of myself. I have a job now and I can support myself."

Still worried, Gu's mother asked, "Where will you live from now on, in the hillside villa?"

Song Wanwan shook her head and said, "No, I live in my mother's faculty room at Peking University. That's where my mother and I used to live. I want to go back and stay there for a while."

Mrs. Gu nodded. "Okay, then send me your location later. I'll come see you when I have time."

Song Wanwan said, "Okay, Aunt Gu. I'll go back to my room to pack my things, and I'll move in as soon as I'm done."

Mrs. Gu said unhappily, "Anyway, it's the weekend tomorrow, so take your time packing, there's no rush. Have a meal with us today, and we'll move tomorrow."

Faced with Gu's mother's expectant gaze, Song Wanwan couldn't refuse and agreed.

She went back to her room and started packing. Aunt Liu saw her packing and asked, "Young Madam, why are you packing so much luggage? Are you going back to the villa on the hillside?"

Song Wanwan said, "Aunt Liu, I won't be living here anymore, and I won't be staying at the villa on the hillside either. I've found a new place to live."

Aunt Liu asked with some doubt, "Are you going to separate from the young master?"

Song Wanwan explained, "Aunt Liu, I've already divorced Gu Tingzhou, so it's not appropriate for me to live here. I don't want to live in the villa on the hillside either; it's too quiet living alone."

"By the way, go to the villa on the hillside tomorrow and pack up all of Gu Tingzhou's personal belongings and books."

Many of the clothes in the villa were bought by Song Wanwan for Gu Tingzhou. He rarely wore them, and now that they're divorced, she'll have to clean them out tomorrow and see what to do with them.

Aunt Liu was still somewhat surprised. "Young Madam, you're not just saying this out of anger, are you? Couples fight in bed and make up before they get out of bed. How could you and the young master get divorced? You cared so much about the young master before, and did so many things for him. How can you just get divorced like that?"

Aunt Liu is an honest person, and what she said to Grandpa Gu and the others simply didn't make sense.

She then said, "Aunt Liu, as you know, Gu Tingzhou doesn't like me at all. I'm still young, and I don't want to waste my whole life on him. Don't you think so?"

Aunt Liu wanted to retort: ​​"But..."

But after a long time, she couldn't say anything. She was just a servant, and her voice carried little weight.

After a long day of work, Song Wanwan finally finished packing her clothes and other belongings. She was only staying here temporarily, so she didn't bring too much with her; most of her things were still on the hillside.

These luggage can be loaded into the car as soon as I get up tomorrow morning.

She lay comfortably on the sofa and told her grandfather that she had received her divorce certificate.

Then she called Shen Yunqing and told him that she and Gu Tingzhou had gotten their divorce certificate that day.

Shen Yunqing remained calm on the other end of the phone, "You went back to the seaside villa last week, right? Dad told me. My apartment downstairs is still empty. Why don't you move in with me? If you cry, I can hand you a tissue to wipe your nose."

Song Wanwan said with dissatisfaction, "Uncle, do you look down on me that much? Who would cry?"

Shen Yunqing then advised, "Really, your older sister's house is too old. It's not safe for a girl like you to live there alone."

Song Wanwan retorted, "Who said it's unsafe? That's the faculty building of Peking University, right next to Peking University, and there are security guards patrolling there."

"Moreover, my graduate advisor contacted me and asked me to help her supervise her students' research projects during my weekend break. I don't know how busy I'll be then, so I won't have time to be sentimental."

Shen Yunqing paused for a second on the other end of the phone, then said, "It's good to be busy. When you're busy, you won't overthink things."

Song Wanwan pouted unhappily, "Uncle, don't make me sound like I'm so fragile. I feel like I've been reborn. Besides, there are so many handsome young men in college, I can't even keep up with them all. I don't have time to think about anything else."

"I need to be fully committed to my work. The more I invest in love, the less free I feel; the more I invest in work, the more free I feel."

Shen Yunqing chuckled on the phone, somewhat relieved. "Alright, the fact that you've come to this realization means you've let it go. I'll come help you move your things tomorrow morning and take you to Peking University."

Song Wanwan agreed, "Sure, there's free labor available, might as well use it."

Shen Yunqing asked again on the phone, "Are you really alright?"

Song Wanwan said firmly, "I'm really fine."
