Chapter 62: Disgusting Even More Than Dog Poop

As for what he said about whether or not it would happen in the future, she just treated it like nonsense—if it stinks, it stinks, and she wouldn’t keep it in her heart.

Quickly folding the divorce agreement and slipping it into her pocket, Xie Yunshu felt much lighter. She curled her lips: “Don’t even bring up compensation. That’s what I deserve. You don’t think it’s a lot, right? Tsk, Lu Zhichen, don’t embarrass yourself.”

Compensation? What compensation?

Zhou Xinyue’s heart skipped a beat. She glanced at Lu Xueting, who also looked confused but didn’t care too much—it was probably just a few hundred yuan, not worth fussing over.

Although she didn’t want to give Xie Yunshu a single cent, now that the two were divorced, the position of Mrs. Lu was vacant. Except for Zhou Xinyue, no one else could take that place.

Lu Zhichen was about to become the vice dean, and she was finally going to regain her previous high-status lifestyle. From then on, even if Xie Yunshu regretted it, she wouldn’t get another chance.

The mediator didn’t want to stay for even a minute longer. It felt like having a fly in his mouth—what a job! Should he say the mediation succeeded? They just got divorced directly. Should he say it failed? Then they’d still have to go to court.

So was his work effective or not?

Out of the mediation room, the happiest person was Lu Xueting. She proudly looked at Xie Yunshu: “Xie Yunshu, from now on, you have nothing to do with the Lu family. Don’t regret it later! Whoever regrets it is a bastard!”

Xie Yunshu glanced at her casually: “Yeah, nothing to do with you anymore. So don’t bother me anymore; if you mess with me, I’ll hit harder.”

After being hit once, she had a lifelong shadow. Lu Xueting glared at her: “I’m too lazy to bother with you again!”

She was going to try hard to promote the relationship between Sister Xinyue and her brother so she’d have the kindest, gentlest sister-in-law. Then she’d still be the most favored person at home. Sister Xinyue would definitely be better and take better care of her than Xie Yunshu ever could!

“I’ll find someone to bring back the furniture from the wedding in a few days. I don’t want anyone to damage my things, or else there’ll be compensation.” Xie Yunshu was still thinking about the wardrobe that Fenglan had paid a fortune for at the wedding.

The wardrobe in the apartment building had been used for many years, with the door broken. Fenglan never wanted to replace it, just kept repairing it. She wasn’t going to let Lu Zhichen have it cheaply.

Lu Zhichen pursed his lips: “Fine.”

“There’s also the sewing machine, electric fan, and radio. I want to take those back too. Those were part of the dowry at the wedding, so they belong to me.” Xie Yunshu planned to use the radio to help Mingcheng learn English.

Before Lu Zhichen could say anything, Zhou Xinyue hurriedly spoke: “Yunshu, those things were bought by Zhichen, how can you take them all?”

Xie Yunshu glanced at her: “If you want to keep them, fine. But if you want to convert to money, it’s a thousand yuan total. Otherwise, shut up.”

Zhou Xinyue was angry inside. She already treated those things as hers, but she couldn’t say that directly. If Xie Yunshu took all the things from the Lu family compound, what would she have left when she moved in?

She felt heartbroken and reluctantly said, “But now that you’re divorced, those things technically belong to the Lu family.”

Xie Yunshu waved the divorce agreement in her hand: “Look carefully. It’s clearly written here — my things are mine, and I don’t care about what’s not mine!”

Lu Zhichen looked dazed. He only said quietly: “Fine, do whatever you want.”

These were just material possessions; he didn’t care. Besides, they were divorced but he hadn’t truly wanted to let go. Now Yunshu was angry, and he didn’t want a court battle that might cause permanent rifts if they reconciled later. So he signed.

If she wanted to take them, let her.

Zhou Xinyue cursed “idiot” in her heart. She had only wanted to ask Lu Xueting for help but hadn’t expected Lu Xueting to be even more straightforward.

“Sister Xinyue, those things aren’t worth much. Let her take them. She can buy new ones later! And that sewing machine, who even uses that? We always buy new clothes ready-made.”

Zhou Xinyue looked like a mute eating bitter medicine, unable to say anything and just sulking quietly. She couldn’t directly admit she was unwilling to give up those things. Especially after Xie Yunshu took the compensation money, she was already heartbroken, and now she wanted to take all the furniture and appliances too?

If that happened, how would she live in the Lu family? The small house she lived in didn’t even have a proper wardrobe. She had wanted to marry Lu Zhichen and live a glorious life as the dean’s wife, but now she’d have to buy everything herself? Did those things just fall from the sky?

At the courthouse entrance, Xie Yunshu got on her bike: “Don’t waste time. The street office is still open. Let’s quickly get the divorce registered.”

Lu Zhichen was silent for a moment, then repeated: “Fine.”

Just then, Shen Subai, who had just finished work, was pushing his bike over. He noticed the group and glanced briefly before looking at Xie Yunshu’s face: “Did you sign the divorce agreement?”

“Signed! Captain Shen, I haven’t thanked you for what you did just now! When you’re not busy, I’ll take you out to eat?” Xie Yunshu was in a good mood, winking and smiling brightly.

Lu Zhichen’s heart turned sour, and he asked: “Yunshu, who is he?”

Another man—he could sense the other’s excellence and the aura of someone who’s been rising steadily. Yunshu hadn’t talked much with him earlier, so he thought they just knew each other. But now hearing them speak, it was obvious they were close.

Xie Yunshu glanced sideways: “What’s it to you?”

A man with no sense of boundaries is more disgusting than dog poop.

Zhou Xinyue bit her lip: “Yunshu, Zhichen only cares about you. Don’t be so hostile. Women still need to keep some dignity, right? Don’t listen to gossip, okay? You and this gentleman should keep some distance…”

She sounded like she was advising Xie Yunshu but was really implying she wasn’t ‘clean’ enough.

But how could she say that with a straight face?

Xie Yunshu was almost laughing in anger. Just as she was about to retort, her shoulder was tapped. Shen Subai spoke calmly: “Just now, you weren’t keeping distance in this gentleman’s arms. It’s important to self-reflect. When you criticize others, look at yourself more.”

Zhou Xinyue looked timidly at Shen Subai, lowered her head weakly, and deliberately exposed her neck: “Comrade, I was only trying to save Yunshu. Don’t misunderstand me…”

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her pale face flushed. She looked so fragile as if a gust of wind could blow her over.

Shen Subai calmly stated the facts: “Before this, I saw clearly. The truth is you deliberately bumped into Comrade Xie Yunshu and then turned to precisely fall into this gentleman’s arms. Simply put, if you hadn’t bumped into her, no car would have driven recklessly.”

Zhou Xinyue’s face turned pale: “Maybe I was wrong.”

“Oh, say whatever you want.” Shen Subai didn’t argue, only nodded at Xie Yunshu: “See you tomorrow.”
