When I received the news of Gu Yi's passing, I was in the middle of reading the script with a few actors.

The quiet scene instantly erupted into chaos.

"Gu Yi is dead!"

Ling Yar, who played the third female role, was the first one to speak up.

Immediately after, there was a commotion, with people grabbing their phones and gasping in shock.

I ignored them and continued to read my lines.

I'm sure everyone knew that Gu Yi and I had recently been going through a divorce.

So, they all cast sympathetic looks in my direction.

I closed the script and explained, "It wasn't me."

Besides, how could he really be dead.

During this time, in order to prevent our divorce, Gu Yi has fainted in front of me at least ten times.

I've gone from being afraid at the beginning to being indifferent now.

To avoid any delays, I reminded everyone to pay attention to the time, quickly adjust their own state, and continue with the script reading.

I don't know if it's because I'm taking this movie too seriously, but my tone was filled with urgency and seriousness.

My attitude like this also drew dissatisfaction from everyone.

Ling Yar continued to be indignant.

"Qingru, your husband is dead, and you still have the mood to read the script?"

I tapped on my script, my tone even colder, with a hint of defiance.

"It's not like I'm the one who died."

Seeing that everyone was completely out of focus, I stood up with the script and went to the next room.

After about half an hour, Gu Yi's lawyer called.

I preempted him and asked, "So, did he agree to the divorce?"

Lawyer Chen nodded.

"Yes, Mrs. Gu."

Hearing Lawyer Chen say this, I suddenly felt a sense of loss.

Isn't this still a divorce?

What he said before about never getting a divorce was just a man's empty words.

Regaining my thoughts, I told Lawyer Chen,

"I have time tomorrow at three in the afternoon, tell him to wait for me at the civil affairs bureau."

"And tell him not to play tricks anymore. I'll find someone to help delete the news about his death online later, and I'll pack up things at home in the next few days."

After saying that, I was about to hang up the phone.

But Lawyer Chen interrupted me.

"Mrs. Gu."

"Yes."

I seemed to quite like being called Mrs. Gu, my tone slightly warmer.

"Mrs. Gu, you haven't seen the post, have you?"

I responded with a sound, "No, I'm busy."

Lawyer Chen suddenly sighed.

"Do you really not love Mr. Gu anymore?"

As the topic returned to this question, I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"Lawyer Chen, there's nothing more to say. I'll hang up now."

"Wait, Mrs. Gu."

"Please come down and I'll hand over Mr. Gu's things to you."

I furrowed my brows, looking at the scripts I still had in my hands, and left Lawyer Chen with one last sentence before hanging up.

"I'll be home tonight. You can have him give me his things in person."
