BXBX NOVEL Chapter 158: Her Rebirth 1
The divorce proceedings were finished very quickly.
Holding the divorce certificate, Hai Xiaotang suddenly felt a lightness in her body and mind.
Her heart was also filled with endless emotions…
“Thank you, I won’t bother you again.” she said to Dongfang Yu, her tone was indifferent.
The man remained expressionless throughout, his emotions unreadable.
He handed her a blank cheque. “This is your compensation. Write any amount you want.”
Hai Xiaotang took it and immediately tore it up. “You owe me nothing. From now on, we owe each other nothing.”
“So much the better!” Dongfang Yu turned and left.
“Wait…” Hai Xiaotang caught up with him. “The design for the orphanage… I don’t think 1 need to do it anymore. But Qiao Ning…”
“I’ll find someone else to do it. Whether she continues filming or not, is up to her.” Dongfang Yu didn’t even glance at her before he left.
Ever since he agreed to divorce her, his aura had been very somber.
He intentionally kept their conversations brief, not saying a word more than necessary.
Hai Xiaotang knew he bore resentment towards her. He would likely ignore her if they crossed paths in the future, but it didn’t matter to her anymore.
Becoming strangers could also be a good thing.
Standing in place, Hai Xiaotang couldn’t help but look up at the sky above.
Her gaze was warm and radiant.
She smiled. From today onward, her real rebirth would begin.
Pulling out her phone, Hai Xiaotang dialed Qiao Ning’s number. “Qiao Ning, are you free? Let’s go grab a drink. There’s something to celebrate today.”
Qiao Ning wasn’t aware of the good news.
It wasn’t until she arrived at the restaurant that she found out Hai Xiaotang had divorced!
Qiao Ning was astonished, “Just like that… You’re divorced…”
Hai Xiaotang poured two glasses of red wine, smiling, “I said I would divorce him long ago.”
“But I didn’t expect it would happen so quickly. And Dongfang Yu is a good man too, I thought you would hesitate…”
“Yes, he is a good man, but 1 didn’t hesitate.” Hai Xiaotang raised her glass, “To celebrating my rebirth, cheers!”
Qiao Ning laughed, “So this is your idea of rebirth?”
Hai Xiaotang nodded seriously: “Yes, this truly is my rebirth. Qiao Ning, you don’t know what my past meant to me, but today, I’ve finally let it all go.” All the love and hate, she had laid them all to rest.
From now on, her world would no longer include Dongfang Yu, or Lin Xinxin.
They would no longer impact her life.
Though Qiao Ning did not know about her past, she could sense a feeling of release from her.
She grinned, “Alright then, to celebrate your rebirth and a better life tomorrow, cheers to that!”
The two cheerfully clinked glasses and emptied their red wine in one gulp. “Xiaotang, what do you plan on doing next, studying?” Qiao Ning asked her. Hai Xiaotang nodded, “Yes, I’m going to study. Even though Dongfang Yu gave me the opportunity to go to college, I didn’t take it. I’m also not going to do designing anymore. However, you can continue with the filming; Dongfang Yu didn’t object.”
Qiao Ning shook her head, “I don’t want to film that anymore. I’ve already thought about what 1 want to film.”
“What?”
“A documentary on the orphanage, about the children’s lives and the current situation. 1 feel that it would be better than filming the transformation of the house.”
Hai Xiaotang nodded, “That’s a better idea. Since you have already decided, go ahead and do it.”
“Okay! And what about you, what do you want to study?” Qiao Ning asked in return..
