"Shaoze, Mom knows you think we have deceived you, and it must be hard for you..."
"Mom, what exactly was the deal?" Rong Shaoze asked with an expressionless face.
Rong's mother hesitated before saying, "It's just, she agreed to take the blame for all the mistakes, to preserve your reputation. I... I helped her escape from you..."
"What else?" he asked coldly, the first time he had ever spoken to his mother with such a countenance.
Rong's mother felt a deep sorrow, yet she straightened her back and said, "And to help her divorce you, and to erase her records from the bureau."
Even though he had guessed this would be the outcome, hearing it still made him catch his breath.
"So the file you asked me to sign yesterday actually included a divorce agreement, didn't it?"
"Yes."
"Mom." Rong Shaoze looked at her, his dark and deep eyes giving away no emotion, "I never thought you would scheme against me too."
