After leaving Old Master Zhang's house, Zhang Zhentian returned to his own place. He had been pondering his father's words all day. Would he really not regret this decision? If one day he found himself regretful, would anyone offer him a pill of remorse that could bring his wife back to his side? He thought it over and over, and finally concluded that he couldn't allow himself to regret. He couldn't abandon the wife who had stood by him through thick and thin, and he couldn't let a lie cast her adrift in a foreign land.
While Zhang Zhentian was alone at home, thinking things over as the moment of decision drew near, bad news arrived. Xia Jing had left without waiting for Zhang Zhentian to tell her he didn't want a divorce.
Zhang Zhentian went to Xia Jing's house to find her. He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. Only then did he learn from Xia Jing's neighbor that she had left a week before. Even her neighbor didn't know where Xia Jing had gone.
