Chapter 978: We’re Divorced

Zhou Xiaoxia had been very happy to read the newspaper for the past few days—if her sister could see it, she would be delighted too.

Yuan City would welcome a new dawn, and previous sins would be suppressed. It was too bad that the dead would never be able to experience that.

Zhou Xiaocheng had lived in the city’s darkest moments, and she had left with despair and pain.

“Thank you so much, Jiang Yao,” Zhou Xiaoxia said. “We haven’t spent much time together, yet you spent so much effort on my problems. You even put in more effort than my parents in Xiaocheng’s matter. This may sound very sentimental, but I think that you are the kindest person I’ve ever met in my life, even though you don’t talk about the things that you have done. I hope that you’ll visit me if you’re ever in Yuan City again, and I hope that we can stay friends.”

Jiang Yao did not expect Zhou Xiaoxia to decide not to go back to school after the matter was over. She wanted to persuade her, but she could not find the words.

When she looked at the lonely grave in her, Jiang Yao finally saw the emotions in Zhou Xiaoxia’s eyes. She knew that her friend was afraid that Zhou Xiaocheng would be lonely when she was back in Nanjiang City.

Zhou Xiaoxia could not let go of Zhou Xiaocheng, who had just passed away, nor could she let go of Zhou Xiaoguang, who had yet to grow up.

“You can take a leave of absence,” Jiang Yao said. “Sort out your emotions and think about it before making a decision.”

She patted Zhou Xiaoxia’s shoulder and left the mountains with Chu Sheng.

Che Sheng turned around to look out the rear window as the car headed back to the city. She only wrote a note to Jiang Yao when they reached the bustling city.

She asked, “Do you know why I insist on going abroad to study criminal psychology?”

Jiang Yao looked down at the note and smiled. She nodded but did not say anything.

Of course, she knew the reason; it was because Chu Sheng had hoped to bring all the criminals in the world to justice.

Chu Sheng had been hurt by those criminals when she was young. She had hoped there were no more criminals in the future.

Jiang Yao thought that she should learn more about the system—she wanted to use the knowledge to save poor people and use her profession to punish those who got away with it.

The case in Yuan City was still ongoing, and there were new reports about it daily. So, Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi decided to take a flight back to Jindo City first.

When Liang Yueze and Luo Ruoran knew that Lu Xingzhi did not have time to stay overnight in Jindo City, they made an appointment with a few of their brothers that afternoon.

Chen Xuyao had wanted to drag Chu Sheng with them, but she found an opportunity to run away before that could happen. Chen Xuyao was so angry that he was hopping mad.

They were at Longteng Restaurant, in the same private room, but they had ordered different dishes. Everyone was there except Gu Haoyu; even Zhou Weiqi was there.

“Why did you ask me to come here all the way from Jin City? I haven’t even started my annual holiday yet; I feel so bitter!” Zhou Weiqi asked as he attacked the pile of peanuts in front of him.

Luo Ruoran glanced at Liang Yueze, but he did not say anything.

Jiang Yao thought that the two of them looked cold when she arrived. They had not seen each other for months, but it seemed like the couple’s relationship was strained.

However, Zhou Weiqi acted as if everything was fine; he urged them again. “Are you guys going to tell us that Luo Ruoran is pregnant so that I can prepare a red envelope for the New Near? If that’s the case, I will despise—”

“Liang Yueze and I are divorced.”

Luo Ruoran suddenly opened her mouth and interrupted Zhou Weiqi.
