234 Falling Out
Chuchu had not called Chen En for a long time, and Chen En did not seem to have made any big moves.
Recently, Qu Zhi and Mrs. Chen had been talking more.
Mrs. Chen was quite calm when she talked, as if she was still in her gallery, drinking tea with Qu Zhi and talking about ordinary things.
Mr. Chen’s condition wasn’t as serious as before. The doctor said that he would be almost fully recovered after a period of rest.
However, when Mrs. Chen was helping Mr. Chen pack his luggage, she found Mr. Chen’s diary.
Her curiosity drove her to open the thick book and read it page by page. He didn’t expect it to record not only the company’s trivial matters but also the stories of other women.
The strange and seductive names in Mr. Chen’s diary were colorful. It was a world that Mrs. Chen had never known, nor could she imagine.
The cruel story was written all the way until he fell sick.
In the last will, it was obvious he was not feeling well, so she only wrote half of it. However, it clearly stated the distribution of property and the child’s custody would be clear on the will.
The inheritance would not be left to Mrs. Chen, but all to the child. If Mrs. Chen asked for a divorce before that, she wouldn’t be able to get custody of the child.
Everything was planned so flawlessly she didn’t get any benefits.
Mrs. Chen read it all, and every word hit her heart. The more she read, the colder her heart felt.
It wasn’t over yet, but from the way it was written, she was pretty sure Mr. Chen didn’t think about her situation at all. He just cared about his own interests.
In conclusion, if Mrs. Chen were to file for a divorce, she would not be able to get the child or the assets.
Mrs. Chen even forgot how to cry.
When Qu Zhi called her, she also looked listless and hung up after a few words.
When they said they were going to visit Taiwan in August, she had happily spent a few days working on a strategy guide, but now she had lost all interest.
She had a bitter taste in her mouth all day long, as if she would spit it out at any time. Mrs. Chen looked at the busy nannies and felt that they were laughing at her behind her back.
Mrs. Chen’s world turned grey.
She looked at her husband, who was recovering day by day, and an unknown emotion surged in her heart.
If he recovered, would what he said to be invalid?
Or could it be his heart was originally ruthless and black, treating his wife as a chess piece that he could throw down at any time and replace with a new one?
Mrs. Chen couldn’t sleep or eat at night. She was exhausted both physically and mentally.
Finally, one day, when Chen En was calling Chuchu, she suddenly knelt on the carpet and hugged her son from behind. “I’m sorry, baby. I’m so useless.” As she said that, tears fell.
First, she sobbed softly, then she burst into tears.
It was Chen En’s first time seeing his mother like this. He could not do anything but Pat her back gently. “It’s okay. It’ll get better.”
This was what Chuchu had told him. Chuchu said that she believed that things would turn for the better if things turned for the better. Chen En was deeply convinced.
Hearing Mrs. Chen cry, the daughter didn’t say anything. She just felt Mrs. Chen was too emotional and her behavior was too neurotic, so she closed the door with a bang.
Even the housekeepers who were sweeping the floor did not look at her.
Everything seemed to be going according to plan, and her feelings were so cheap they had no place in this family.
Mrs. Chen held her son’s soft face, and a strong voice in her heart gave her the strength to speak again. “Baby, are you willing to go back to the mainland with mom?”
For some reason, she thought of her own gallery.
At least there was a place for her there. No one would chase her away, and no one would come to take away what belonged to her.
Even though she had nothing and her standard of living was not as good as in Taiwan, at least she was happy.
Chen En looked into her eyes and nodded seriously.
“All right, let’s go pack our luggage.” Mrs. Chen staggered to her feet, her voice trembling with excitement. we’ll go back tomorrow.
Of course, Chen En was pleasantly surprised. He would be able to see Chuchu once he returned to the mainland.
Just then, the nanny came out of the bedroom. “Madam, President Chen is looking for you.”
Mrs. Chen didn’t think much of it and pushed the housekeeper away. “I’m not free.”
