Chapter 2584
Yan Aohan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Zhi Bin, do you want to see your ex-wife? After all, she caused your disability. You have a karmic connection with her."
Zhu Zhibin pondered for a moment. "Then I will go once. It is better to clarify some things face to face."
Zhu Zhibin was not someone who held onto the past. To her, if Nuan Nuan could not bear the loneliness and wanted a divorce, she could understand. After all, as a researcher, she spent more time in the lab than at home. she understood if she could not endure it. However, she did not understand why she could not bear it now, especially since they had two sons and a daughter, and their children had even given them grandchildren.
Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Zhibin for a long time. "Human hearts are hard to predict. So you must understand this karma personally. Whether you let her go or punish her is up to you. Consider it a farewell to the past."
"I just want to understand how she felt when she agreed to harm me. As for punishment, it is unnecessary. No matter what, she gave birth to my children. My children are very filial to me. They have been unwilling to associate with her these years." Zhu Zhibin’s only relief was that her children were filial.
For the sake of the children, Zhu Zhibin did not plan to punish his ex-wife. But he still needed to make the trip, to sever this emotional tie.
Originally, they had planned to go to other countries. But they found out that Zhu Zhibin’s ex-wife had returned to the country.
Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi accompanied Zhu Zhibin there.
Nuan Nuan looked at their former home, which was now empty. She could only smile bitterly. Her husband was gone, her children were gone. Now she returned only because of someone else’s schemes.
Walking out of the courtyard, she saw Zhu Zhibin standing at the door of the coffee shop opposite. She walked over unconsciously.
"You are healed?" She had felt some reluctance when she harmed her, but she had done it anyway.
"My sister returned, so I naturally healed." Zhu Zhibin looked at Nuan Nuan. "Let’s go. This coffee shop was once our favorite place. Let’s have one last cup."
"Okay." Nuan Nuan said nothing, but she sent a message.
Yan Xibei, who was in a meeting, received the message and said hurriedly, "Pause the meeting. We will continue in the afternoon." He rushed out. He had to see Zhu Zhibin. He had to.
Zhu Zhibin and Nuan Nuan sat down. Zhu Zhibin said to the waiter nearby, "One Blue Mountain coffee. What about you?"
"One Vienna coffee," Nuan Nuan said. "I am not used to pure bitterness. I prefer more milk flavor. It suits me better."
Zhu Zhibin nodded. "Because you cannot bear bitterness, you chose Vienna coffee with milk. I understand."
She had spent years in the research institute. Although her family did not complain about Nuan Nuan, she felt that life without her husband’s company was very bitter. So when Yan Xibei offered an olive branch, she agreed.
There was no other reason. It was simply because she could not bear bitterness.
Actually, when she chose her coffee, she should have noticed her character. she had not paid attention before, but now she understood.
"So now, do you still think it is not bitter?" Zhu Zhibin asked. "Coffee is coffee. No matter how much milk flavor it has, it will still have an aftertaste. Otherwise, the coffee would not taste good."
"Yes, coffee is still coffee. In the end, it is still bitter." Nuan Nuan smiled bitterly. She had no home in the end. How could it not be bitter? But she could not say that she did not feel bitter.
Nuan Nuan looked at Zhu Zhibin. "What are your plans for the future?"
"You came back because you knew I was taken away by my sister and brother-in-law, didn’t you?" Zhu Zhibin looked at Nuan Nuan. "Since you know, why pretend not to?"
"If you know, why did you come?" Nuan Nuan asked.
"I came only to understand the karma between us." Zhu Zhibin looked at Nuan Nuan. "Since I plan to leave here, I do not intend to return. It is good to understand some things."
"Did you hate me?" Nuan Nuan asked.
Zhu Zhibin smiled lightly. "It does not matter if I hated you or not. Actually, if you had not drugged me, I had no intention of competing. I preferred research over other things. It was just that someone was not reassured, so they asked you to act."
She paused and continued, "And you did act. When you acted against me, I stopped hating you. Because your action proved you no longer loved me. Why should I waste emotions hating a woman who does not love me?"
Zhu Zhibin was a genius. In the field of genius, there was never room for romantic entanglements. So Zhu Zhibin could tell Nuan Nuan this answer directly.
Nuan Nuan looked at Zhu Zhibin, her face turning pale. "Do you know why I harmed you? Because your love for me was not as strong as your love for your research. I thought if you could marry your research project as a wife, you probably would."
Zhu Zhibin smiled lightly. "You are overthinking it. Men of the Zhu family are very cautious about marriage. If we like someone, we marry them, love them, and take responsibility. I just did not expect you to have so many thoughts. But it is good this way. We are separated, and everyone is clean."
After finishing the last sip of coffee, he said, "Live well in the rest of your life. People live longer now, so cherish the present. If you find a companion for your twilight years, do not refuse. Also, forget me and my children. We will not appear before you again."
"Where did the children go?" Nuan Nuan asked.
Zhu Zhibin knew his children and all the family members had gone to Sicheng Town. So he said, "You do not need to know. You just need to know they will not appear before you again."
Zhu Zhibin stood up. "I will not say goodbye. We have met. I have understood the karma. I can leave now."
"Wait." Nuan Nuan said. "Did you not see him?"
"There is no need to see him. His parents will not see him again. As an uncle, I certainly will not. Besides, the moment he asked you to harm me, our past feelings were gone." He walked out the door. As he stepped out, Yan Aohan personally picked him up on a cloud vehicle. To others, he disappeared instantly at the door.
Yan Xibei got out of his car and saw this scene. "Uncle, wait."
Unfortunately, words could not stop a person.
Zhu Zhibin, in the air, saw Yan Xibei below looking regretful. She asked the Zhu Yanyi couple beside her, "Really not see her?"
"There is no need to see her," Zhu Yanyi said. She felt a前所未有的 lightness in her heart, as if this burden should have been put down long ago.
