Chapter 569: Chapter 569

What was President Shi doing with a divorce agreement? Could it be that he wanted to destroy it? But looking at his expression... it didn’t seem like he was going to destroy it.

Could it be that he was going to... sign it? Was he, was he going to divorce Young Madam?

Xiao Zhao’s eyes widened uncontrollably, filled with disbelief.

Shi Che had his eyes downcast, continually staring at the divorce agreement, until his eyes ached and his vision blurred. Then, he abruptly grabbed the pen, swiftly flipped to the last page, and without looking, signed his name.

Then, he picked up the divorce agreement and handed it directly to Xiao Zhao, saying in a deep voice, "Go take care of it."

Xiao Zhao was still frozen in place, unable to react for a long time. He blinked, swallowed hard, and didn’t dare to take the agreement from Shi Che’s hand, only stammering, "President Shi, what... what are you doing?"

Why sign it just like that?

Could it be that in Lin City he and Young Madam had not come to an agreement? Even if they hadn’t, they could still talk things over. Rushing into a divorce would truly end everything!

He couldn’t help but say, "President Shi, although I don’t know what happened between you and Young Madam in Lin City, you need to think this through. This... this divorce is irreversible." Newest update provided by novel·fiɾe·net

The hand holding the divorce agreement trembled violently, a hint of moisture flickering in his eyes. He closed his eyes, his voice deep and resolute, "I said, go take care of it!"

He had nothing left that he could do for Chuxia; he had said he would let go, and he couldn’t go back on his word.

This was his last way of loving her.

Shi Che said no more, heavily placing the divorce agreement on the desk, then stood up and strode toward the door. Xiao Zhao hurriedly tried to follow, but Shi Che’s voice sank again, "Don’t make me say it a third time!"

Xiao Zhao’s step halted there and then, and even with his worries, he could only watch as Shi Che left.

The office quieted down again, Xiao Zhao slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on the agreement on the desk, and he sighed heavily.

It seemed that President Shi and Young Madam had indeed... reached the end of the road.

Shi Che descended the stairs, and Old Zhu quickly opened the rear car door for him. Shi Che bent down to sit inside. After closing the door, he quickly moved back to the driver’s seat and then asked, "Young Master, back to the villa?"

Shi Che leaned back in his seat, his eyes looking out of the car window, his dark pupils deep yet unfocused. He remained silent for a long while, so long that Old Zhu thought he wouldn’t speak at all, then he faintly said, "Back to the old residence."

Mrs. Shi had already returned to the old residence to recuperate, and her condition was gradually getting under control.

As Shi Che stepped into the old residence, Sister Hua saw him and immediately came over, her eyes and smile curving, "Young Master, you’re back from your business trip?"

Shi Che looked up slightly, scanning around and not seeing Mrs. Shi. "Where is Mom?"

Sister Hua chuckled lightly, "Madam is resting in her room. This morning, she was telling me repeatedly about when you would return. Imagine our surprise that you’re here now. You and Madam really are connected by heart. She will be delighted to see you."

Shi Che’s expression remained faint as he nodded at Sister Hua and then walked toward Mrs. Shi’s room.

Mrs. Shi was listlessly listening to a servant read the newspaper, but upon seeing Shi Che’s tall and upright figure, her eyes instantly brightened.
