Chapter 2595: Suffering for a Lifetime?

Zhao Da gave a bitter laugh, sighed low, and then said very seriously: "Little Brother Zhao, you know, this ailment of mine, it can't be cured in a lifetime. Your sister-in-law, following me, is only destined to suffer for a lifetime. Since she formed this family with me, I have never seen her laugh heartily even once..."

"Brother Zhao!" Zhao Desan heard the bitterness in Zhao Da's heart and didn't know how to comfort him. Regarding Zheng Jie, he already felt very guilty toward him. After thinking for a while, Zhao Desan continued the conversation: "Actually, for a couple living together, as long as life is stable, other things are not big problems. Although your sister-in-law hasn't laughed, how do you know if she isn't happy and stable in her heart? She has been with you for so long and hasn't left you, which shows she values this family very much! Brother, I also admire you two as a couple for this..." Zhao Desan laughed bitterly in his heart. Although he loved Zheng Jie to the extreme, he had to turn around and persuade the couple to live in harmony; it really wasn't a good feeling.

Whether Zheng Jie had ever laughed in front of Zhao Da, Zhao Desan didn't know, but when facing him, Zhao Desan, Zheng Jie's smiles were not only frequent but also very radiant... If Zhao Da knew about this, he might be angered to death...

Zhao Da shook his head. Zhao Desan's comfort didn't have any effect; instead, it made his mood even lower. He sighed bitterly: "Little Brother Zhao, listen to me finish! Your sister-in-law, in this life, following a useless person like me, has lived too bitterly. Although she has no complaints at all, I really feel guilty toward her, guilty toward the child... Brother, I really don't want to go on like this anymore. You... after you cure your sister-in-law's illness, strike while the iron is hot and be alone with her... alone like that, help me persuade her to agree to sign a paper!"

If the phrase 'alone like that' in Zhao Da's mouth made Zhao Desan blush and feel extremely embarrassed, then the subsequent phrase 'let her agree to sign a paper' absolutely made Zhao Desan's heart jump with fear. A strong, ominous premonition grew in his heart. He had just handled the Chen Man matter, and now he was saddled with this; his head was truly spinning.

"Sign? Sign what? Brother Zhao?" Cold sweat trickled down Zhao Desan's back. The words Zheng Jie had said to him before floated in his mind again. Could it be that Zhao Da was planning to commit suicide or something?

Zhao Da began to hesitate again. The expression on his face was painful one moment, dejected the next, then unwilling, then relieved. He was just like a skilled actor, his complexion changing rapidly and colorfully. Finally, he gritted his teeth, stared at Zhao Desan's face, and said in a deep, word-by-word voice: "Little Brother Zhao, I have decided. After your sister-in-law's illness is cured, I will ask her to sign the divorce agreement and let her go live the life she yearns for... Little Brother Zhao, there's no need for us to say anything else. You must help me persuade her to agree to this one request of mine! I... I don't have the ability to take good care of your sister-in-law; I'll entrust her to you from now on! You must promise me!"

"What?" Zhao Desan couldn't believe his ears. He was greatly shocked and blurted out a loud cry.

Zhao Da's words were simply too earth-shattering!

From the bottom of his heart, if he himself was willing to give up Zheng Jie, perhaps this was a relatively good result for Zheng Jie, for Zhao Da, and for Zhao Desan. However, could he agree to such a request? Although Zhao Desan wanted to open his mouth and agree right then and there, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Should he agree, or refuse?

Zhao Desan himself didn't know what kind of complex mood he was in when he walked out of Zhao Da's room. Regarding his almost tempting proposal, Zhao Desan almost nodded directly. However, regarding his understanding of Zheng Jie, Zhao Desan knew her even better than Zhao Da. If he agreed to Zhao Da's request to help persuade Zheng Jie, the final result might just be two people sulking and ignoring each other.

Therefore, Zhao Desan ultimately did not agree to Zhao Da's request. When walking out of the room, Zhao Desan could hardly understand Zhao Desan's incredibly complex expression.

"What are you two chatting about?" Seeing Zhao Desan come out, Du Xiaochan was the first to ask. Regarding Zheng Jie, besides a little jealousy, Du Xiaochan felt more of a heartfelt admiration. If it were herself, she asked herself if she had the ability to achieve Zheng Jie's patience and tenacity.

"Nothing much, just chatting casually." Zhao Desan smiled faintly. Naturally, he wouldn't tell Du Xiaochan the content of the conversation. Even if she wasn't a jealous person, hearing such words, she probably wouldn't give Zhao Desan any more chances. For Zhao Desan, he had always regretted not being able to win over Du Xiaochan; the good cabbage had been arched by Director Xu. As he spoke, Zhao Desan continued to ask her in a low voice: "Xiao Chan, how have you and Director Xu been lately?"

"I... I haven't been with him for a long time." Speaking of this matter, Du Xiaochan immediately became shy.

"Why?" Zhao Desan asked in surprise.

"He's already married, so what's the point of me always being with him." Du Xiaochan turned her head as she spoke. ===== CHAPTER 2596 =====
