"I, I'm... going to the Civil Affairs Bureau for a divorce?"
"Haven't I already been divorced once?"
"No!"
"That didn't really happen, it happened in the future. I haven't divorced yet. I'm experiencing what will happen in the future!"
"I..."
"I can foresee the future?!"
...
Blue Island City.
In a taxi.
A man and a woman sat in the back seat.
The man lowered his head, silent.
The woman, despite her beautiful appearance, had some bruises on her face and her hair was slightly disheveled.
She stared blankly out the window, memories from college flashing through her mind, scenes of this man relentlessly pursuing her, making promises.
In the end, these memories turned into fragments, manifesting as a look of despair and mockery on her lips.
Just yesterday, Lin Ming had a big fight with her family, even getting into a physical altercation with her brother.
For Chen Jia, this was already commonplace, but yesterday's quarrel was the last straw for her.
Because when Lin Ming and her brother Chen Sheng fought, Chen Sheng accidentally pushed Lin Ming onto the table, hitting his head and knocking him unconscious, only waking up two hours ago.
Chen Jia was really scared!
Scared that if this continued, someone would end up dead!
So, she chose to divorce.
The two of them were now on their way to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The scenery around them hadn't changed from when they got their marriage certificate years ago, still walking the same familiar path.
Except now, they were getting a divorce certificate.
How ironic!!!
...
Lin Ming raised his head, looking at the woman beside him with a mournful expression.
The bruises and scars on her face and body made Lin Ming's heart ache.
"Snap!"
Lin Ming suddenly raised his hand and gave himself a slap.
Bastard, he was just a bastard! A beast!
Such a beautiful and virtuous woman, who had followed him devotedly, had endured countless acts of violence from him over the past few years!
It was damned!!!
The taxi driver was startled by Lin Ming's slap.
Chen Jia also snapped out of her daze.
However, she just gave Lin Ming a indifferent glance before turning her head to look out the window again.
How many times?
This ridiculous plea for forgiveness had already become a routine!
"Young man..."
The taxi driver had been holding back for a long time before speaking, "Actually, family trivialities are just small matters. A wife comes to accompany us to enjoy life. As men, we should pick ourselves up whenever we fall, no matter what happens, we shouldn't lay hands on women, right?"
The taxi driver was already an experienced person. From the moment Lin Ming and Chen Jia got into the car and stated their destination, he had guessed it.
Little did he know, his words almost suffocated Lin Ming.
Yes...
When Chen Jia refused countless suitors and agreed to marry him, Lin Ming would never forget the light in her eyes.
That was hope for the future, hope for himself!
Why?
Why did he become what he is now!!!
"Even if there's no great wealth, just living an ordinary life, she wouldn't complain, but I treated her like that..."
Thinking of this, Lin Ming's heart ached, slapping himself over and over again.
"Enough!"
Chen Jia finally spoke, "I've seen through your tricks countless times, forgiven you countless times, but all I got in the end was your worsening behavior."
It was unimaginable how angry and disappointed Chen Jia was when she said these words in such a calm tone.
"It's a good thing to change for the better. There's an old saying, 'A prodigal son returns home is worth more than gold'..."
The taxi driver glanced at Chen Jia sneakily.
'One who hasn't tasted the bitterness of others cannot advise others to be good.' He understood this principle, but he could only do so much.
Unfortunately, it seemed like Chen Jia hadn't heard.
Ten minutes later, the taxi stopped.
The tall building of the Civil Affairs Bureau came into view.
Lin Ming wanted to pay the fare, but after searching all over himself, he realized he had no cash. There was only one yuan fifty cents in his WeChat wallet.
All his belongings had been used as gambling capital, all lost...
"Master, here's your fare."
Chen Jia took out ten yuan and then walked straight down.
Lin Ming also wanted to get off, but the taxi driver said, "Young man, where else can you find such a good woman? You must cherish her. Don't end up like me, regretting too late after taking the wrong path!"
Lin Ming hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master, turn left at the next intersection."
"Huh? Aren't you getting off?" The taxi driver was a bit puzzled.
"I am getting off, but you must turn left, or rather, you must not go straight, understand?"
Seeing the taxi driver's puzzled look, Lin Ming added, "Even if you don't listen to me, if you get hit later, you must get off quickly, otherwise you'll be engulfed by a big fire soon."
After saying that, Lin Ming got off and closed the door.
"You little guy, I kindly reminded you a few words, and you cursed at me? Goodness goes unrewarded, what a bad omen!"
The taxi driver thought that what he said had offended Lin Ming, completely ignoring Lin Ming's warning, and drove straight ahead.
The next intersection wasn't far, about a hundred meters or so, and the traffic light was green.
However, as the taxi passed through the intersection, a dump truck suddenly rushed out from the right lane!
"Shh!!!"
The sound of urgent braking came.
Then, a loud bang, the taxi was pushed out more than ten meters away, almost tipping over.
Fortunately, the driver was wearing a seatbelt and the impact was on the passenger side, so there was hardly any harm.
While his mind was blank, the driver suddenly remembered what Lin Ming had said when he got off the car.
He unconsciously unbuckled his seatbelt and quickly got out of the car.
Just after he got out of the car, the car's gas tank suddenly caught fire.
In the driver's unbelieving gaze, the fire engulfed the entire car.
"This..."
The driver swallowed hard, his eyes subconsciously looking towards the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The young man who had saved him from disaster was nowhere to be seen.
"Immortal?"
These two words jumped out of the driver's mind.
...
Civil Affairs Bureau.
Waiting hall.
"Your head... sure it's okay now?" Chen Jia asked.
"Yeah, it's fine now," Lin Ming said.
Not only was it okay, but because of this collision, Lin Ming had an epiphany and gained the ability to foresee the future!
Chen Jia breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, now I can rest assured."
Before Lin Ming could speak, Chen Jia continued, "I calculated it. We owe a total of 820,000 yuan in debt, half for each of us. Although it's all your debt, we're still husband and wife, so it's our joint debt. My brother went too far, I apologize on his behalf."
After a slight pause, Chen Jia took a deep breath, as if she had exhausted all her strength, staring at Lin Ming.
"Xuan Xuan is only four years old, let her stay with me, I'm begging you, okay?"
