The 99th Divorce

Su Qianci heard the words and became silent. Someone alive. Was he referring to Lu Yihan? Indeed, over the years, she knew very well how Lu Yihan had treated her. She didn’t understand it before, but since Li Sicheng disappeared, Lu Yihan’s heart was almost exposed to her. He had always tried to ask her out, and she always had various excuses.

He also used to pick up the two little ones from the kindergarten, or help her cook at home, or teach the little ones to play games, use the computer, and read. However, the more involved Lu Yihan was, the harder it was for her to face him. It must have been at least two months since she last saw him? She knew that she owed him a lot, a lot…

The old man looked at her, sighed, and said, “Forget it, think about it yourself. I am not going to mess with your business.”

“Grandpa…” she whispered, lowering her head. She was about to say something, but was interrupted by the old man.

“However, Qianqian, I have something to trouble you with.” Grandpa took the cane next to him and stood up.

Su Qianci rushed forward and helped him. “Nothing is trouble from you. I will try my best for you.”

“Come on, help me back to the room.” The old man walked slowly with his cane.

After helping the old man back to the room, she saw the him taking an old pocket watch from the bedside cabinet and handing it to her. He said with a heavy heart, “Please give this pocket watch to the grandson of an old comrade. Over the years, I cannot let go of this. To save me, he stood in front of me. At that time, we were only in our twenties. Li Xiao was just a baby, and his child was only two or three years old. He died, but I did not find his body because of the battle. Just a few days ago, I finally found his family!”

Su Qianci took the pocket watch and opened it. At a glance, she saw a black and white photo which had yellowed. A young officer dressed in beautiful and neat clothes was sitting next to a woman. Because the photo had discolored, it was impossible to see the faces of the man and woman.

“This is the relic of the old comrade. You give it to his grandson on my behalf. I asked him to meet on the third floor of the Kingstown Convention and Exhibition Center.”

Su Qianci closed the pocket watch and felt that something was wrong. She said, “Grandpa, such an important thing, I think it is better for you to hand it over to him. Since it is his grandson, he should be quite young, slightly older than Sicheng at most – thirty or forty years old? Shall we invite him home and treat him to dinner?”

“No, he said that he is very busy at work and doesn’t have time to come here. That’s why we had agreed on the place. Since I was saved by his family, I can’t trouble him…” The old man said, glancing at her face and seeing that she was a bit hesitant. Then he reached out and grabbed the pocket watch. “It’s fine if you don’t want to go. At my age, I still have to do something like this. How miserable…”

Su Qianci could not listen to Grandpa say something like this. She quickly took the pocket watch back and said, “Grandpa, I will go. What time should I meet him?”
