Chapter 1964: Pained Her
“Lanlan, are you sure?” Xiao Yuqian asked. “Su Jimo went through a lot to get to where he is today… This scandal has already affected his fame, you leaving him will only break him.”
Nie Zhenglan stirred her coffee and remained silent for a while.
She then raised her head and said, “I’m sure. I have been in his shadow all the time so that he could succeed. I left my family, lost my friends… I’ve sacrificed way too much for him, to the point where I forgot that I need someone to give me the love the way I gave it to him.”
Xiao Yuqian could see the balance in their relations.h.i.+p had been toppled.
“I know, but he’s an actor, he has to live in front of a camera for the rest of his life. He can’t defy the company either. You can’t blame him if he can’t be with you all the time…”
“You don’t get it…” Nie Zhenglan shook her head. “It’s not about being with me anymore. I don’t want to wait for him anymore. You might not know the feeling of waiting for someone only to be disappointed, but it broke me. The divorce would give both of us the freedom we wanted.”
Xiao Yuqian could tell from Nie Zhenglan’s words that she had already made up her mind. Even though Nie Zhenglan still loved Su Jimo, she was at her limit.
“Why don’t you take a break, away from all these scandals?” Xiao Yuqian suggested. “Let us talk again once everything subsides.”
Nie Zhenglan did not respond.
Xiao Yuqian then took her phone out and played the video of Su Jimo apologizing for Nie Zhenglan.
“Have you seen this?” Xiao Yuqian asked. “The moment he acknowledged the relations.h.i.+p between both of you, he was ready to give up all the fame he worked hard for. It shows that you’re the most important thing to him. Can’t you see that?”
Nie Zhenglan looked at Xiao Yuqian’s phone. Su Jimo was staring at the camera, his eyes filled with sadness.
Seeing him like that pained her.
She scolded in her head, asking why Su Jimo had to say all those words after she had made up her mind to leave him.
But it did not matter anymore.
Nie Zhenglan knew that as long as Su Jimo remained an actor, the distance between them would always be there.
She knew that Su Jimo loved her. Or else it wouldn’t explain why he would give her the house and most of the savings if they really got divorced.
What hurt Nie Zhenglan was that Su Jimo agreed to the divorce without blinking twice. That broke her heart.
To Nie Zhenglan, Su Jimo apologizing in the video was just an act for the public.
Nie Zhenglan did not react to the video.
Instead, she took Xiao Yuqian’s hand and said, “Qianqian, stop. Just give up. I’ve already made up my mind. You’re right. I should go on a trip. Why don’t we go shopping first?”
Nie Zhenglan got up and left, giving Xiao Yuqian no choice but to chase after her.
“How’s your family? I’m sorry that I couldn’t help you when you needed it the most…” Nie Zhenglan apologized on their way to the mall. If she’d never left her family, she would have had the money to help Xiao Yuqian with her de
