Si Wan feels confused as grandfather Gong looks sullen, and when she sees the serious faces of Yan Xiuya and Gong Yanshen, with growing confusion, she doesn't know what to do.
"Si Wan, did Gong Siming come back yesterday?"
Helping grandfather climb stairs, Si Wan becomes stunned for a second after being asked and then she smiles, "Grandfather, are you looking for him? He has been very busy recently and returns home very late. I am afraid that he is not available early today."
Si Wan gets quick-witted. She doesn't want grandfather Gong to worry about her any more, given that Gong Siming doesn't belong to her, anyway. Considering this, she feels a little bitter in her heart.
"Busy, how busy?Busy staying out all night?" Grandfather Gong raises his voice, which makes Si Wan a little astonished. Suddenly remembering the gloomy faces of her parents-in-law, Si Wan frowns and guesses that grandfather has already known it. She tries to explain it.
"Don't defend him, I' m old but not silly." Looking at Si Wan, grandfather Gong feels sorry for her, "You little fool, why not tell me all the sufferings you have undergone? If you tell me, I am bound to support you."
"It's nothing, can't be regarded as suffering." Holding back her tears, Si Wan manages to hide the great bitterness inside her heart.
Looking at Si Wan who keeps silent, grandfather Gong gives a long sigh, "Good girl, you are a good girl. It is the Gong Family that owes you so much. Sorry that we made you aggrieved."
"Please don't say in that way, grandfather. Taking this opportunity, I also hope to talk with you." Holding back the bitterness in her heart, Si Wan forces a smile.
In the study room, the two sit opposite each other. Grandfather Gong allows Si Wan to speak first, after which Si Wan clears her throat and starts to talk without hesitation.
"Grandfather, I can almost guess what you'll tell me. But I think perhaps Gong Siming doesn't belong to me at all. It's time to call an end after such a long time."
Si Wan sits there with a straight back, if not maintaining the posture, she's afraid that her tears may drop. "If Feng Ling hadn't had the accident, he would not have married me so simply. As for Feng Ling, I have been living in guilt since her accident. Perhaps, to Gong Siming and me, a divorce is the best way to gain relief."
