Chapter 376: Let’s Settle the Divorce Procedure

The more Mu Jingzhe thought about it, the more indignant she felt. She hadn’t reached the peak of her life yet. She had just become a CEO and she hadn’t married a tall, rich, handsome man yet. Most importantly, she hadn’t spent all the money she had earned. She would earn a lot more money in the future. She hadn’t learned to splurge yet.

Could she not have any money because she had been born poor?

Mu Jingzhe couldn’t fall asleep and thought a lot. She waited bitterly for the results of the hospital checkup, hoping that they would tell her the diagnosis as soon as possible and say that she was not sick. That this was something that could be cured.

However, the doctor hadn’t found anything. On the other hand, Mu Jingzhe didn’t feel any pain, nor did she vomit blood like before, yet her body didn’t recover. She still felt weak.

After a busy day, there were no results. At night, Shao Qihai rushed to Ocean City, looking travel-worn. When he saw Mu Jingzhe’s pale face, his heart surged in his chest.

“Why have you lost so much weight? Have they found out what is wrong?”

“Not yet. Why are you here? Where are the kids?”

“I asked Mom to take care of them. I told Shao Dong and the others that I came to visit because I had something to attend to in Ocean City. They don’t know yet.”

Shao Qihai’s gaze landed on Mu Jingzhe’s face. “Are you alright?”

When he’d heard that Mu Jingzhe was sick, he had immediately called Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng was surprised to hear that Mu Jingzhe was really sick and was currently in the hospital. He had let it slip that he had slapped Mu Jingzhe. When Shao Qihai heard that he had actually slapped Mu Jingzhe, he felt shocked and furious. He’d almost fallen out with Jiang Feng.

Shao Qihai regretted not telling Jiang Feng the truth earlier and causing such a mistake.

Shao Qihai had told Jiang Feng over the phone that he and Mu Jingzhe had signed the divorce agreement long ago. He had scolded Jiang Feng, feeling extremely vexed. The more he’d thought about it, the more he had felt that something was amiss. In the end, he had helplessly rushed over.

When he saw Mu Jingzhe’s appearance, Shao Qihai was glad that he had rushed over.

“I’m not too well. I’m not feeling particularly unwell, but they haven’t found out what kind of illness this is. I feel uncertain.”

Mu Jingzhe suspected that she had some complicated illness that was difficult to diagnose.

“It should be fine. I’m sure it’s not a serious illness. It might just be a minor issue. Don’t be anxious.” Shao Qihai comforted her before asking hesitantly, “Does your face still hurt? Jiang Feng… I didn’t expect him to dare to hit you…”

“He didn’t just hit her. He even left her to die and made Jingzhe vomit blood, faint, and collapse on the ground. If I hadn’t rushed back later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

Ji Buwang walked through the door and saw that Shao Qihai’s expression was terrible. “It’s fine if Jiang Feng was angry, but if he left without a care in the world, I can’t accept it.”

Shao Qihai had already been shocked to hear that Jiang Feng had slapped Mu Jingzhe. He hadn’t expected there to be such an inside story.

“Jiang Feng left her to die? I… I didn’t even hear him say that.”

“It would be strange if he did say it.” Ji Buwang was furious at the mention of Jiang Feng.

“Jiang Feng might have thought that I was faking it.” Mu Jingzhe felt that Jiang Feng viewed women with enmity after his divorce. In his heart, all women were probably liars.

Although Mu Jingzhe said that she was fine, Shao Qihai ultimately dragged Jiang Feng to the hospital and asked him to apologize to her.

Jiang Feng hadn’t expected things to come to this, nor had he expected Mu Jingzhe not to be faking it and be really sick. When he came to the hospital and saw Mu Jingzhe, he apologized to her shamefully.

Since he had already apologized, it was even more impossible for her to slap him back now. Mu Jingzhe sighed. “It’s fine. Just don’t hit anyone casually in the future.”

Sigh… He used to be such a fine young man, but his failed marriage had tormented him so.

When Jiang Feng came to apologize, Xiao Wu also returned. Previously, Mu Jingzhe hadn’t told him. Now, he knew that it was Jiang Feng who had hit his mother and left her in the lurch. Initially, the children had liked Jiang Feng because he had always treated them very well.

But now, Xiao Wu decided that he would not like Uncle Jiang Feng for a while.

Mu Jingzhe didn’t notice the change in Xiao Wu’s attitude toward Jiang Feng. What she was most nervous about was her illness.

However, in the next two to three days, they still didn’t find anything. Mu Jingzhe was exhausted, and Ji Buwang also had dark circles under his eyes. Xiao Wu was suffering too and wasn’t in the mood to do anything else. Every day, he would look at Mu Jingzhe nervously, afraid that she would fall sick again.

After three days, Shao Dong and the rest started feeling that something was amiss.

Mu Jingzhe had developed a habit of finding time to talk to Shao Dong and the rest every day. As time passed, the kids sensed that something was amiss. Just as Mu Jingzhe was about to confess, the hospital finally reached a conclusion: The cause of the illness was still unknown.

The hospital staff had investigated every lead they could, but they still hadn’t managed to diagnose any illnesses. Mu Jingzhe didn’t have a relapse after that. Although she hadn’t fully recovered, her condition didn’t relapse or worsen. Since they couldn’t find any problems for the time being, they suggested that she recuperate first.

This result wasn’t good, but at least she didn’t have a terminal illness. Mu Jingzhe was discharged.

After being discharged from the hospital, she observed her body for a few days. Her condition didn’t worsen, and her strength seemed to be slowly recovering. Mu Jingzhe heaved a sigh of relief and returned to the county according to her previous plan.

If she still didn’t go back, Shao Dong and the rest would go to Ocean City to look for her. Only when they saw that Mu Jingzhe had returned safely did the kids feel at ease. However, when they saw that Jingzhe had lost so much weight, their hearts ached.

When Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng found out about this, their hearts ached and they were worried as well. Li Zhaodi specifically made a lot of blood-nourishing food for Mu Jingzhe so she could replenish her blood.

Perhaps it was because of maternal love, but after Mu Jingzhe ate it, she felt much better. Shao Dong and the rest felt much more at ease now. Only Xiao Wu was still very nervous about her and would stare at her from time to time. He wouldn’t be at ease unless he was looking at her.

“I’m really fine. Xiao Wu, don’t worry. Go to school like a good boy. It was not easy for you to come back to school.”

“But Mommy, you have to tell me if you feel unwell.”

“Mm, got it. Hurry up and go.”

Mu Jingzhe’s footsteps were light. She had fallen ill very suddenly, and the cause of the illness couldn’t be determined. Perhaps she would recover for no reason, just like this had started.

After sending Xiao Wu away, she contacted Shao Qihai and decided to get a divorce according to her previous plan.

When she saw Shao Qihai, Mu Jingzhe got straight to the point and said, “Shao Qihai, I want to go through the final divorce procedure.”

Shao Qihai’s mind went blank for a moment. He had actually been mentally prepared, but when he really heard Mu Jingzhe say that, his heart instantly felt empty. He couldn’t find his voice for a long time.

“Previously, we agreed to get a divorce when we found someone we liked, but this actually won’t do. Since only we know about this, it doesn’t seem right to outsiders, so I think it’d be better to get this settled first.”

Shao Qihai was silent for a moment. “Is it because of Jiang Feng?”

“I can’t say that it has nothing to do with him. Part of the reason is what happened with him. He was the one who reminded me that I shouldn’t let this drag on.” After saying that, Mu Jingzhe quickly explained. “But it’s not his fault. This matter can’t be blamed on him. It’s also my fault. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been such a misunderstanding. There’s no point in dragging it out anymore. Let’s go and take care of the procedure now.”
