Chapter: 2491

In that case, all his efforts for half a lifetime would go up in smoke.

As soon as he thinks about this, Su Shoudao's teeth ache with rage!

"What for?! What for some old guy makes trouble and lets me take the blame?!" "What for an old guy makes my daughter disappear, leaving her life or death uncertain, but forces me to suffer eternal damnation?!"

He couldn't help but curse out loud and grabbed a nearly empty bottle of vodka on his side and suddenly threw it into the churning sea below.

Just then, his phone rang.

As he looked at the name on his phone screen, he was completely stunned.

"Old wife?" Su Shoudao was initially puzzled and then quickly grabbed the phone and answered, saying "Old wife! You're finally willing to call me!"

Duhaiqing's voice on the other end of the line was calm, saying "Su Shoudao, I'm calling because I want to talk about divorce. You're currently in Australia and won't be able to come back anytime soon, so why don't you appoint a lawyer to handle the relevant procedures?"

Su Shoudao was taken aback by Duhaiqing's purpose for calling, feeling an instant surge of anger rising from his heart.

He couldn't help but coldly say "Duhaiqing, as long as we haven't divorced, we're still husband and wife. You ran off to Jinling without my consent during the period when our marriage was still intact, and I didn't stop you or blame you. That's already given you face."

"But you're calling me from Jinling now, suggesting that we divorce. Isn't this a bit too much? Don't you care at all about the emotional bond between us after more than twenty years of marriage?"

Duhaiqing listened to Su Shoudao's rebuke without getting angry, saying instead in a calm tone "Su Shoudao, if you had any self-awareness, you should know that you're standing at the moral low point right now. If you insist on occupying the moral high ground at this moment, it would be extremely disappointing."

He continued, "Emotional bond is not something to be fought for with words, but rather through actual actions. I'm just suggesting we get a divorce, and you feel like I don't care about our marital bond. But have you thought about our children outside? They're already over twenty years old. What about all the years you've hidden things from me?"

Su Shoudao listened to Duhaiqing's words and his entire person suddenly slumped in despair.

"Ah... right now, criticizing you doesn't mean anything. It's almost like I'm hitting myself. After all, I've been doing wrong for twenty-odd years... one mistake after another..."

Just as he didn't know how to respond to Duhaiqing, she let out a faint sigh: "Oh, don't say all these things, I'll just call you and get the divorce settled as soon as possible. The reason is that I want to settle down in Jinling, even if it's not settling down, at least I want to stay there for some time. So I'm considering your feelings, so you won't have to worry about what others will say."

Duhaiqing didn't speak too clearly, but Su Shoudao had already grasped the implicit meaning.

Duhaiqing meant that she wants to settle down in Jinling, and if people from the big families in Yanjing knew this, everyone would guess why she's staying there - it's all for Ye Changying.

If Duhaiqing and Su Shoudao were still married, then Duhaiqing settling down in Jinling for Ye Changying would indeed affect Su Shoudao's reputation to some extent.

But if they got a divorce, it would at least allow Su Shoudao to retain some dignity.

Su Shoudao was inwardly furious but couldn't find any words to criticize or oppose.

He had already clearly recognized that he no longer possessed any means of winning Duhaiqing back - this woman has made up her mind to get a divorce from him...

Thinking about this, his hatred for Ye Changying grew even stronger.

"Ye Changying, this scoundrel, really won't rest in peace!"

"He's been dead for so many years, yet he's still deeply affecting Duhaiqing." JrNovels.com
