This number left Song Jiaye speechless in shock.
After regaining his senses, his tone instantly turned angry.
"What did he do to you?"
Li Qiyu forced a bitter smile and replied, "He just took advantage of me and then abandoned me, kicked me down after using me, and ruined my family."
The calmer Li Qiyu's tone was, the heavier the weight on Song Jiaye's heart became.
Abandonment after taking advantage, kicking someone down after using them, and family ruin.
Any one of these words was enough to ruin a woman's whole life.
He instantly understood why Li Qiyu was so insistent on getting a divorce. Now, he didn't even have the courage to try to persuade her to stay.
"Do... do you hate him?" Song Jiaye asked nervously, his voice cautious.
"I hated him before, but I don't anymore." Li Qiyu couldn't hold back her tears. These tears were not shed for the humiliation she endured in the ancient times, nor for her husband's betrayal.
She shed them for the 124 lives of the Li family, for making Zhou Donglin wait for a lifetime, and for the carefree Miss Qiyu who had passed away.
Her voice trembled.
"Before I jumped off the building, I told him that if there was an afterlife, I didn't want to be his wife. I just didn't expect..."
She didn't expect that fate would play such a trick on her. She didn't die but instead time - traveled and became "Song Jiaye"'s wife.
"Don't say it." Song Jiaye couldn't bear to listen anymore.
Every word was like a knife stabbing at him.
Every word made him feel heart - wrenching pain for her.
With 124 lives at stake, Song Jiaye could understand her. She probably didn't want to see him at all. He had the same face and the same name as the ancient Song Jiaye, and seeing him around every day must have been really hard for her.
Song Jiaye's heart ached. He gathered all his strength to say those three words.
"I agree."
Li Qiyu didn't expect the negotiation to go so smoothly. She thought Song Jiaye would need some time to consider.
Song Jiaye said whatever came to his mind, stuttering as he gave his instructions:
"I'll draw up the divorce agreement. You can find a lawyer. When we sign it, just ask him to check it for you."
"Okay."
"We can't get the divorce certificate yet. I'll find a way to speed up the listing of the Li Corporation as soon as possible. I'll return the Li Corporation to you intact. I thought your amnesia would improve quickly before, so I set a six - month deadline. But now, I don't know how long it will take. When you're fully familiar with the company's operations and can handle things on your own, I'll go with you to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate."
Hearing this, Li Qiyu hesitated a bit. But Xiaohuan and the lawyer had also said that with a divorce contract, as long as the property division was done properly, getting the divorce certificate was just a formality.
Moreover, she didn't care about the property at all. After all, it was all built up by Song Jiaye, and she didn't understand it at all. If Song Jiaye wanted it all, he could take it.
So, Li Qiyu nodded in agreement with Song Jiaye's proposal: "Okay."
Finally, and most importantly, Song Jiaye hesitated for a long time before saying:
"After the company is listed, I'll move out of Xiyu Villa."
Li Qiyu was silent for a while. She thought she would feel relieved and relaxed when she heard this result, but now she just knew that she wasn't happy at all.
She didn't feel relaxed either, and she just couldn't say the word "okay".
Just then, Sister Liu came over.
She saw that their car had already returned, but they hadn't gone inside, so she came to the garage to see what was going on.
Her appearance interrupted Song Jiaye and Li Qiyu's conversation.
Song Jiaye got out of the car with a solemn face and went straight to his room.
This was the first time he didn't wait for Li Qiyu.
It wasn't out of anger but rather a hasty retreat. He didn't know how he should face Li Qiyu.
He was also ashamed.
Even though he didn't do those things.
But just having the same face as Song Jiaye, he felt ashamed.
Sister Liu looked at Li Qiyu, who still had traces of tears on her face. She asked with concern, "Xiaoyu, did you and Mr. Song quarrel?"
Li Qiyu shook her head, but her red nose and hoarse, choked voice completely betrayed her bad mood at the moment.
"Sister Liu, I'm tired. I won't have dinner. You can eat with Tongtong."
After giving her instructions, Li Qiyu went back to her room on her own, leaving Sister Liu behind, sighing repeatedly.
They were fine in the morning. Why did this young couple suddenly become like this?
Li Qiyu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep all night.
She thought about Song Yunsheng, who claimed to be Zhou Donglin. His smile always made people feel creepy, as if he was hiding many conspiracies.
But she thought more about Song Jiaye.
She wondered if she had gone too far. This Song Jiaye was completely different from the ancient one. Maybe she shouldn't have proposed divorce so abruptly and should have done it gradually.
Saying she was in such a hurry to get a divorce, did it make him misunderstand that she hated him?
As Li Qiyu was thinking, she looked at the ceiling. Above the ceiling was Song Jiaye's study. She knew Song Jiaye wasn't asleep yet. They were only separated by a wall.
In fact, Li Qiyu's guess was right. This was exactly what Song Jiaye was thinking.
"Xiaoyu... no, Qiyu must hate me to death now."
If it were someone else, they would probably think it was an unexpected disaster, but at this moment, Song Jiaye's heart and mind were completely filled with Li Qiyu.
He didn't even have the heart to think about whether he was wronged. He just thought that Qiyu must be very uncomfortable, and he was the source of her discomfort.
Song Jiaye couldn't sit still anymore. He dialed his secretary's phone number.
The secretary was having hot pot with the deputy general manager at the moment. When she saw Song Jiaye's call, she was greatly shocked.
She exchanged a look with the deputy general manager, who couldn't help but scold:
"Isn't Song Jiaye busy accompanying his wife at home now? Why is he always calling in the middle of the night when he's not working?!"
Even though no one wanted to work overtime, they still didn't dare not answer the boss's call.
The secretary walked to a quiet tree and answered the call.
"Hello, Mr. Song." The secretary thought Song Jiaye would just ask her to buy some phones, skin - care products for his wife.
Unexpectedly, this time it was really about work.
"Did the reviewers say anything after examining the company's documents?"
"They didn't say anything. They just told us to wait for the news. But the listing process is usually very slow."
"Have you inquired about any way to speed it up?"
At this time, the deputy general manager also chased after her. In the past, when Song Jiaye called in the middle of the night, he would usually just give a few instructions and then hang up. But now that he had been talking for so long, it seemed that he had encountered a difficult problem.
When the secretary saw the deputy general manager coming, she brightened up as if she had seen a savior.
