Rebirth: Illuminating a Brilliant Life

Chapter 146 From Shattered to Reborn: Cheng Ran's Emotional Transformation

With Dong Haoying by his side, Su Xuan decided to focus all her efforts on dealing with the thorny issue of being set up. He understood that he was caught in an extremely complicated situation, and his immediate priority was to quickly sort out the clues and find the key evidence of being scammed. However, such matters are extremely difficult to explain without surveillance video.

Cheng Ran first carefully recalled the details of that night, leaving no possible clue unchecked. He tried to remember the other person's words and actions, the surrounding environment, and his own reactions. Then, he began contacting the people involved that night, hoping to obtain some useful information from them.

He also went to the scene of the incident to try and find any surveillance cameras. Unfortunately, there were no cameras there. This left Cheng Ran feeling very frustrated, but he did not give up.

Cheng Ran began searching online for relevant cases, hoping to find solutions to the problem from other people's experiences. He also consulted some professionals, asking them for advice on how to handle such situations.

Throughout this process, Cheng Ran constantly considered various possibilities. He knew that to prove he had been framed, he needed sufficient evidence. He hoped to find some clues to reveal the truth.

Despite the numerous difficulties, Cheng Ran remained steadfast in his pursuit of his goal. He believed that as long as he persevered, he would surely find a solution.

In the end, Cheng Ran successfully proved his innocence with overwhelming evidence. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that everything could get back on track, but when he looked at Su Xuan, he found that the trust in her eyes had vanished.

Holding the evidence, Cheng Ran hurriedly explained to Su Xuan, trying to salvage the situation. However, Su Xuan just stared at him blankly, her eyes filled with indifference.

She no longer believed what she was seeing; the trust she once had had had been replaced by the pain of betrayal. Cheng Ran was filled with helplessness and regret. He knew that even if he proved his innocence, he couldn't regain Su Xuan's trust in him.

Su Xuan was determined to get a divorce. Cheng Ran knew there was no way to change the situation, so he had no choice but to arrange for the law firm to draft the divorce agreement.

The law firm staff acted quickly, inquiring in detail about Cheng Ran and Su Xuan's various demands, including issues such as property division and child custody.

They meticulously reviewed every detail to ensure that the agreement not only complied with legal regulations but also maximized the satisfaction of both parties' wishes.

Throughout this process, Cheng Ran appeared dejected, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He understood that this was the result of his own mistakes and could only silently cooperate with the law firm. He was determined to draft the divorce agreement as fairly and reasonably as possible, ensuring that Su Xuan received the protection she deserved.

Su Xuan remained calm and resolute. She was utterly disillusioned with the marriage and only wanted to end it all as soon as possible. When communicating with the law firm staff, she was firm in her stance and clearly expressed her demands.

After much effort, the divorce agreement was finally drafted. Cheng Ran handed the agreement to Su Xuan, who took it, glanced at it, said nothing, and turned to leave the law firm.

Cheng Ran and Su Xuan kept their divorce a secret from their families. They were both busy with work and didn't communicate much with their families to begin with, and they didn't want to involve them in this emotional turmoil and add unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, even though they had gone through the divorce proceedings, no one around them noticed anything unusual. Cheng Ran continued to leave early and return late, busy with work, and Su Xuan also went to get off work and back as usual; life seemed to be going on as before. But the perceptive Nianci noticed the subtle changes in her parents' relationship.

Nianci noticed that her parents were communicating less and less, and were no longer as close as before. In the past, her parents would chat and laugh during meals, sharing the little things in their lives, but now they were just silent.

In the evenings at home, my parents no longer watch TV and chat together like before. Instead, they stay in their own rooms, as if there is an invisible wall between them.

This change made Nianci uneasy. She tried to ask her parents what had happened, but each time they brushed her off. Nianci was filled with doubt; she didn't know why her parents had become like this, nor did she know what to do.

Cheng Ran and Su Xuan were completely different. He used to be incredibly attached to his home, looking forward to going home early every day to immerse himself in the warm atmosphere of his family. But after the divorce, he seemed to have been reborn, throwing all his time and energy into his work.

At work, he gave it his all, immersing himself completely in the business. He would leave home before dawn every day and not return until late at night. He was either working overtime at the company or traveling to negotiate business deals. He seemed to be trying to fill the void in his heart with his busy work, trying to stop himself from thinking about the painful past.

He treats work as the core of his life, striving to improve his professional skills. He dedicates a significant amount of time and energy to his work, continuously learning new knowledge and skills. His efforts have earned the recognition of his colleagues and resulted in remarkable achievements in his work.

However, he unknowingly neglected the people and things around him. He no longer cared about his family as much as before, and his contact with friends became less and less frequent. His life became increasingly monotonous, with almost no other pleasures besides work.

Cheng Ran found solace in his work, but also lost a lot in the process. Although he tried his best to become better, he lost the joy and happiness he once had.

Amidst the busyness of work, Cheng Ran gradually grew accustomed to loneliness. He began to reflect on his past behavior and realized that he had made many mistakes in his marriage. He regretted not cherishing Su Xuan and not nurturing the relationship properly.

As time went by, Cheng Ran felt increasingly lonely and empty. He began to miss his past life and the days he spent with Su Xuan. He realized that what he truly wanted was not career success, but happiness in his family.

So, Cheng Ran decided to change himself. He took the initiative to contact Su Xuan, trying to repair their relationship. He apologized to Su Xuan, admitted his mistakes, and expressed his love and care for her.

However, Su Xuan was indifferent to Cheng Ran. She was not interested in his apologies and concern, nor did she want anything to do with him anymore. She told Cheng Ran that she had completely let go of the past and hoped he would stop bothering her.

Cheng Ran was disappointed, but he didn't give up. He continued to try to win Su Xuan's trust and forgiveness. He began to care about Su Xuan's life and help her solve some problems. He also frequently sent Su Xuan gifts to express his love for her.
