Chapter 1686
The old lady’s decision stunned Neo. Neo looked straight at the old lady without blinking. “D*mned old woman, you truly are very arrogant! Watch if I don’t...”
Just as the old man was about to make a move, he turned around and saw that the old lady was holding a cleaver in her hand.
“It’s just slaughtering pigs, right? I am a butcher’s mother! I know how to do it! ” The old lady looked at the old man with an expression as if she was looking at a stranger.
Neo was shocked. He did not expect that the old lady was being serious. She returned to her room and wasted no time packing up all her things. It was just a duffel bag full.
“It’s all of my clothes in this bag and nothing else,” said the old lady. She left after that. She had already thought it through. She had stolen fifty thousand dollars from the old man to pay for the grandson’s tuition fee, so she wouldn’t mind going to jail. After she had left that house, the old lady found a hotel and stayed here.
The following day, she waited for two hours at the city hall. When she saw that the staff were about to clock out, the old lady then made a call to Neo. “Why haven’t you come to process our divorce?”
On the other end of the line, Neo was a little panicked. “You...you truly want to divorce me?”
“Have you gone nuts?” said the old lady patiently.
Neo ignored the question. “You won’t even have a place to stay if you divorce me, so why are you being so arrogant?”
“Does it matter to you whether I have a place to stay or not?” asked the old lady in return.
Neo was speechless. The old lady continued. “I have inquired with others just now that if you don’t come over to get divorced, I can unilaterally go to court and file for divorce. If you are not present, our divorce will automatically take effect two years from the date I file my suit.”
The old lady hung up as soon as she said that. Neo called again right after. “Do you... want to reconsider? I...can forgive you for many things. As long as you come back and admit that you were wrong, I can then forgive you, alright?”
The old lady smiled and said in a contemptuous and self-deprecating manner. “Mister Teacher! Are you pretending to be confused? You are an educated person! It’s me who left your house now. I have already moved my things away, and I am waiting for you at the city hall to get divorced! It’s not me who goes to you to admit my mistakes and then beg for your forgiveness. Do you hear me?”
After saying that, she immediately hung up the call. She truly had had enough! An hour later, the city hall was already closed. Only then did Neo come slowly and later. There were also two managers, a man and a woman, from the accommodation for the faculty member, who came together with him.
“Madam Cecilia, what are you doing? How can you be so dramatic?” The female manager was calling the old lady’s name and pulling on her arm to lead her out of the city hall’s lobby.
