Chapter 76: Divorce is the best option
Qin Qi tightly grasped the file bag in his hand, his eyes wide open, and he almost collapsed and yelled at Qin Hehai, "What do you want to do by taking out this thing!"
Shen Jun's face turned pale. She immediately thought of what Qin Qi was holding and shouted sharply, "He Hai!"
Seeing the two people's excited reactions, Kong Nanzhu really couldn't think positively. The file bag in Qin Qi's hand became Pandora's box. She was afraid to open it, but she wanted to understand.
Qin Hehai closed his eyes and looked at his son calmly, "Qin Qi, be a man and take responsibility for your actions. Today I want you to make it clear. Nan Nan has the right to know the truth." Shen Jun did not say anything else and slumped in his chair, not knowing how to face what was about to happen.
Qin Qi didn't dare to look at Kong Nanzhu's expression, and had no intention of handing over the documents.
Kong Nanzhu's heart was beating fast. She stretched out her hand and said, "Give it to me."
Qin Qi didn't move.
"Give it to me. Since Dad said I have the right to know, it must be related to me."
Qin Qi raised his eyes. He was eager to explain himself, but found that he had no idea where to start.
What should he say.
What can he say.
All explanations seem so pale in the face of the cold black and white words.
If the two of them had a stable relationship and lived a happy life, then this contract would not affect them, but the problem was that Kong Nanzhu was now even unwilling to communicate with him. Putting the contract out at this time would undoubtedly make things worse.
Kong Nanzhu spread out his hands stubbornly, "Give it to me."
Qin Qi finally handed the file bag to Kong Nanzhu.
This is a contract regarding the transfer of shares in Qin Qi's personal studio, which clearly states the responsibilities of both parties A and B and the obligations that need to be fulfilled.
The general meaning is that as long as Party B can fulfill the obligations in the contract, Party A will transfer 100% of the controlling rights of the studio to Party B, and will not interfere with Party B's personal career development before Party B turns 30.
Kong Nanzhu's hands were shaking slightly as she held the document. She read all the contents carefully, line by line and word by word.
One of the obligations is that Party B must become a legal couple with Ms. Kong Nanzhu after reaching the legal age.
Signed: Party A, Mr. Shen, Party B, Qin Qi.
The flowing font is exactly the same as the handwriting he usually uses when signing autographs for fans.
No wonder.
No wonder Qin Qi, who had been lukewarm during the relationship, actually agreed to get married with me on his 22nd birthday.
The earlier you get the certificate, the earlier you can hold the shares.
Kong Nanzhu didn't feel sad. She even found a reasonable explanation for the uneasiness and discomfort she had felt for a long time.
She found the answer to the question she hadn't been able to ask that day.
Qin Qi doesn't love her.
He loves himself.
Qin Qi was extremely nervous as he watched Kong Nanzhu silently put the documents back into the brown paper bag and her slender fingers wrapping the sealing cotton thread around the knot again and again.
The calmer Kong Nanzhu was, the more nervous the other three people present became.
Shen Jun couldn't hold it anymore. She walked around the table and held Kong Nanzhu's hand. "Nannan, please don't misunderstand. It's my fault. I shouldn't have written your marriage with Xiaoqi into the contract as a bargaining chip. Xiaoqi's feelings for you are real. Don't think too much."
For the first time, Kong Nanzhu pushed Shen Jun's hand away, and said calmly, "Mom, I didn't think much about it."
Qin Qi's eyes were full of hope, hoping that Kong Nanzhu would continue to trust him as always.
"I never thought that he chose to marry me because he loved me. I have always wanted to know how you got him to agree to get the marriage certificate with me when he didn't even want to go to the movies with me. Now I understand."
"How can you think like that!" Qin Qi was anxious. He straightened Kong Nanzhu's body and forced her to face him. But the moment they looked at each other, Qin Qi's words got stuck in his throat and he swallowed them back.
Kong Nanzhu's eyes were not red, nor was her expression very emotional, but her eyes were filled with tears. She didn't look sad at all, but she seemed to be so sad that she forgot to change her expression, and her tears flowed out uncontrollably.
"Nannan, I love you, I really love you. I admit that when I got married, my motives were not pure. I was selfish. I wanted to complete the contract and become independent as soon as possible. But this doesn't mean that I don't love you. I really want to live a good life with you."
Kong Nanzhu threw the file bag on the table woodenly, and said in a flat tone, "Qin Qi, do you think that if you really love someone, you will regard marriage with her as a bargaining chip to fulfill your dream?"
"I don't quite understand why you think you love me. You give me the feeling that you have always wanted to control me. You want to control my life, just like mom did to you."
After these words were spoken, Shen Jun and Qin Qi both froze.
Having said this metaphor, Kong Nanzhu no longer intended to save face.
Yes, she could not forgive, nor could she tolerate that her marriage was settled by a contract between mother and son. No one asked for her opinion, and no one asked her if it was okay to do so.
She loves Qin Qi, that's right.
She wanted to marry Qin Qi and be , that's right.
But this does not mean that Shen Jun can make the decision for her and use the marriage as a bargaining chip to make a deal with Qin Qi, nor does it mean that Qin Qi can use their marriage as a tool to exchange for benefits and freedom.
Qin Hehai finally spoke: "Nanzhu, I want to know your opinion on this matter."
"Qin Qi." Kong Nanzhu straightened her chest to make herself look less embarrassed. Although she felt like a clown who was kept in the dark, she had known since she was a child how to make herself look decent in such a situation.
"Let's get a divorce."
"I don't agree!" Qin Qi refused without thinking, and stepped forward to pull Kong Nanzhu into his arms, but was met with strong resistance from Kong Nanzhu. Kong Nanzhu raised his foot and kicked him on the shin bone. Qin Qi's back was numb with pain, but he did not let go.
"I don't agree to divorce. I can't divorce you! I was wrong about this matter. I shouldn't have kept it from you. If you are dissatisfied with me, I can change it!"
Kong Nanzhu looked at him coldly, two lines of tears slowly rolling down her cheeks.
"Qin Qi, what I am most dissatisfied with you is that you never listen to what I say. You only insist on your own opinion. If our roles were reversed, would you forgive me?"
Qin Qi gritted his teeth in pain and shook his head, "I was wrong, Nan Nan, I was wrong, I will change, I will respect your opinion, and I will not be like before, don't mention those two words again."
What face, what dignity, Qin Qi just wanted to tie himself and Kong Nanzhu together at this moment. He had never been so afraid of anything as he was now.
Yes, scared.
He was afraid of losing Kong Nanzhu.
Afraid that her gaze would never linger on him again, afraid that she would never smile at him again, afraid that he would never be able to hold her in his arms and fall asleep again.
Kong Nanzhu let her tears fall down.
I didn't expect that saying these two words would be so easy.
She no longer had to worry about how to change Qin Qi's ideas, nor did she have to worry about whether she was making a fuss, and she didn't have to care about what Qin Hehai and Shen Jun thought of her.
She doesn't care anymore.
No one cares about her feelings, so why should she care about others ?
Shen Jun realized the seriousness of the matter and kept apologizing to Kong Nanzhu. Kong Nanzhu felt uncomfortable, but she could tell right from wrong. After pushing Qin Qi away, Kong Nanzhu turned and looked at Shen Jun.
"Mom, I accept your apology, so please respect my decision." Kong Nanzhu took a deep breath. "Over the years, I have witnessed the struggle and entanglement between you and your son . I was just an outsider and should not have expressed any opinions. It was me who overestimated my own abilities and insisted on getting involved. Whether it was helping Qin Qi pay for his art exams or helping you persuade him to go home again and again, it was all my own will. But from now on, I don't want to have anything to do with this kind of thing anymore."
Qin Qi's mind was in a mess. He felt Kong Nanzhu's determination and realized that things had gotten out of control long before he was aware of it.
Shen Jun supported herself on the edge of the table with her hands. The capable and strong woman was shaky at this moment. She looked at Kong Nanzhu with a pleading look, "Nannan, it's all Mom's fault. Calm down and don't let this matter affect your relationship..."
"Our relationship started because of this incident." Kong Nanzhu's thoughts were clearer than ever before. "I hope my marriage is based on mutual affection and love, but now it is not pure anymore. I can't accept it, and I don't want to let myself be wronged."
"Dad, thank you." Kong Nanzhu wiped away her tears and tried her best to make herself look not that bad. In fact, she was the most open-minded among the four people present. "Thank you for telling me this."
Divorce is the best option.
