Speaking of the news, she remembered reading yesterday that the Lin family business went bankrupt and the company was put up for auction .
Pressure the military resulted in the Lin family’s rapid decline into obscurity .
The family lost its prestige and standing in society nearly overnight .
Wen He’s eyes turned cold . “Serve them right . ”
She switched to the national news channel .
Suddenly, she heard the microwave in the kitchen beep .
She hurried over, took out the heated pizza, and served it on a plate .
When she was back in the living room, the television was showing a familiar figure that captured her full attention .
It was Huo Chen .
He was in a live interview session .
The professional anchorwoman smiled and asked, “Officer Huo, what do you think about about Ms Wen?”
Huo Chen was in his military uniform . He was as cool as ever and looked at his interviewer with an icy gaze .
He seemed to have lost some weight, which made his profile look more hardened .
Upon hearing the question, he replied detachedly, “Let things go back to the way it was before . ”
“By that, do you mean you will never see each other again?”
“Yes . ”
“May I then ask, Officer Huo, if you have divorced Ms Wen?” The anchorwoman asked .
“No . ”
Huo Chen’s eyes looked unfocused despite looking straight into the camera .
“I have scheduled for us to sign the divorce papers the day after tomorrow . ”
The anchorwoman nodded . “I’m going to ask this one more question, but you do not have to answer it, Officer Huo . ” She paused before continuing, “Do you still love her?”
Huo Chen did not reply immediately .
Wen He stood still with bated breath . She bit down hard on her lower lip and waited .
After a long while, when it seemed that he would leave the question unanswered, Huo Chen spoke up calmly .
“I can’t love her anymore . ”
Crash!
The plate in her hands fell crashing to the floor, scattering hot pizza and broken ceramic pieces all over the place .
The anchorwoman and the audience thought that Huo Chen said that because he could not accept Wen He’s manipulation of him .
Only Wen He knew that it was because she had wounded his heart too deeply .
He could not love her anymore…
That was worse than simply not loving her .
“That’s the end of our interview, thank you again for joining us, Officer Huo . ”
The anchorwoman announced sweetly before the screen changed to a commercial .
Huo Chen’s face vanished from the screen . Wen He stood where she was for a long time before she finally dragged herself to the sofa and sat down .
She buried her head in her arms and muttered repeatedly to herself, “He can’t love me anymore, he can’t love me anymore…”
They would never see each other again .
She rubbed her dry, tired eyes .
Sometimes, one could feel so sorrowful that no tears would form .
That night, Wen He received a call from Yang Yi asking her to visit the civil administrative office the day after tomorrow .
The instruction was no surprise for her, so she accepted it calmly .
The day in question soon arrived . Early that morning, Wen He called Gu Jinzhi and asked him to give her a ride to the office . After all, she did not have a car .
If she hired a car instead, the driver would surely recognize her .
Gu Jinzhi hesitated for a while before finally agreeing to her request .
