Seven Years of Lies, I Ruined His Life - Chapter 24

At first, I thought Guan Qin agreed to divorce without separating because she regretted the divorce.

Later, I thought it was because of her family issues, that she was forced to compromise.

Now I finally understood.

Guan Qin was giving our son a buffer period.

Although we had tried our best to act normal in front of him these past few months, we had inevitably grown more distant, more deliberate.

Guan Qin had told me countless times, “Xiao Yu is very smart.”

I always responded dismissively, thinking it was just a mother’s bias towards her child.

Besides, in an era where connections and money mattered most, what difference did being smart make?

But now I finally knew.

Our son was very smart.

So he had been observing us in secret and processing it all on his own.

That night, I didn’t sleep at all.

A few days later, one morning, Guan Qin was taking our son to school.

I specifically told her to come home first afterward, that I would be waiting for her.

I wanted to talk to Guan Qin.

If Guan Qin could stop being so emotionally volatile, if she would no longer argue with me endlessly.

Perhaps we could remarry.

We didn’t have love, but at least we had a familial bond.

For our son’s sake.

What was wrong with both of us taking a step back?

I didn’t wait for Guan Qin to return.

Instead, I received a call from a friend. “Brother Jiang, have you and Sister-in-law completely separated?”
