Chapter 562 Farewell
Mu Qing cleared his throat and said, “That’s right. I wanted to see you.”
Liang Zhou looked at him calmly as she said, “Alright, I’m here now. If you have anything to say, just say it. When you’re done, please sign the papers.” “Liang Zhou, I’m sorry,” Mu Qing said in a slightly hoarse voice.
Liang Zhou was momentarily stunned. When she recovered her senses, she laughed before she softly said, “Mu Qing, when we first met, I told you that the thing I hate most is apologies. That’s why I never apologize to others. Even if I’m not wrong, I also hate it when others apologize to me because I’ll never forgive them. If one makes a mistake, and one can obtain forgiveness just by apologizing, don’t you think the price of making a mistake is too low?”
“It’s a pity that you don’t remember my words. You and I have been together for more than twenty years. My soul was slowly chipped away, leaving only my physical body on auto-pilot. You’re really amazing. You molded me bit by bit, making me your accessory. I haven’t been myself for a long time now. Liang Zhou is no longer Liang Zhou. Now that I’ve sobered up, let’s put an end to this. Don’t blame me for adding salt to injury at this time. There’s no love between us anymore.” Mu Qing placed one hand on the table and used the other to rub his face before he said, “Liang Zhou, I’m truly sorry. All these years, I’d been fighting for my goals, and you’ve stood by my side without any complaints. I thought you understood me. I thought that you supported me unconditionally…”
Liang Zhou interjected, “I did understand you, and I did support you. However, all those things were born out of love. Mu Qing, you don’t love me; you’re just using. Do you understand? Your Liang Zhou died when she found out that you had women outside. She’s gone and no longer exists.”
Liang Zhou’s expression was very calm. It was as though she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her at all.
A piercing chill seeped into Mu Qing’s heart as he looked at Liang Zhou. The Liang Zhou in front of him now was like the Liang Zhou from more than twenty years ago; the Liang Zhou whom he had fallen in love with. He knew better than anyone that the Liang Zhou he had fallen in love with would never turn back. With that, Mu Qing slowly picked up the pen and signed the papers with great difficulty. This was the first time his heart had felt so heavy when signing something.
After a while, Liang Zhou reached out and took the divorce papers. Then, she smiled and said, “Thank you.”
Subsequently, she motioned Xiao Yu to push her out. At this time, Mu Qing rose to his feet and grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair from across the table. Then, he said, “Liang Zhou, treat yourself well. Don’t worry about money. If there’s a need, you can go overseas for treatment. The doctors and environment there are better. You have to live well…”
Xiao Yu stopped moving.
Liang Zhou turned around and met Mu Qing’s concerned gaze. Then, she said with a smile, “There’s no need to act anymore. Our relationship ends here. You should save such warm words for others to hear.”
Mu Qing said with a helpless expression on his face, “Liang Zhou, believe me. I’m sincere.”
Liang Zhou looked at him intently as she said, “Once you’re unfaithful, it’s not enough even if you atone for it 100 times. In certain ways, Mu Qing, we’re the same kind of people.” Mu Qing finally withdrew his hand.
As Xiao Yu pushed Liang Zhou out, Liang Zhou did not turn back at all.
Mu Qing sat down dejectedly before he ran his fingers through his hair. For some reason, when Mu Chen had told him that he had gotten rid of all his spies in the Mu Group, he did not feel as terrified and sad as he did now. He felt as though a piece of his heart had been gouged out, and it hurt.
He wondered what he had been doing all his life? He had carefully planned every step, but every step was not in place. Along the way, he had lost more than he had gained. This time, he knew it was his and Liang Zhou’s farewell.
