This story illustrates how corporate power dynamics can be exploited by those in positions of authority, and how individuals can leverage their legal rights and financial independence to overcome workplace injustice. The protagonist, a company founder and largest shareholder, was publicly humiliated by her husband's assistant who was given authority by her husband. By asserting her legal rights as the majority shareholder (60% ownership) and exposing her husband's financial misconduct (embezzling company funds to support his mistress), she ultimately reclaimed her professional dignity and personal autonomy. The narrative demonstrates that understanding one's legal position and financial assets can provide the foundation for personal empowerment in situations of workplace injustice.
His assistant fired me! "I'm his equal." I fired them both! Sir, did you really not know it's mine?本站添加:
My husband's secretary threatened to fire me. The vice president, after 3 months of hard work, I finally won the bidding. Just before signing the contract, I suddenly got stomach pain and went to the tea room to take a pill, then closed my eyes for a 5-minute rest.
But I was publicly punished by my husband's secretary on the grounds of negligence in duty. A project has been going on for 3 months. If that's not slacking off, then what is it? With that kind of attitude and you're still getting such a high salary. What a waste of the company's training on you. You can get out right now. Please like this video and listen to my story till the end and let me know which city you're listening from. That way I can see how far my story has traveled. I held back the stomach pain and asked back, "Who gave you the right?" The girl lifted her chin and let out a cold snort. "Of course it was President Jin." President Jin said that whatever position he has in the company, that's the position I have. Position. Faced with the little girl's aggressive attitude, I let out a cold laugh and dialed my husband's number. Jin Shaoyun, when did my company become yours? Hello everyone. Welcome to Takada Novel Club. Today I'm sharing an interesting new story with you. I rubbed my temples, forcing myself to endure the wave after wave of cramping pain in my stomach. The computer screen before me had already blurred into a haze. 3 months for this project, I had been working overtime. Nonstop for a full 3 months. President Shin, we won the bid.
The other side just notified us that our proposal was accepted. Assistant Xiaoling rushed into my office, unable to hide the joy on her face. I let out a long breath and the tense nerves finally relaxed a little. This project is crucial to our company. If we can secure it, it means we won't have to worry about performance for the next 2 years.
And now it finally belongs to us. Great.
Notify the heads of all departments to meet at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow to discuss the follow-up implementation plan. I tried to stand up, but suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and had to steady myself by gripping the corner of the desk. Mr. Shin, you look very unwell.
Would you like to go to the hospital?
Kobayashi looked at me worriedly. I shook my head. It's the old problem again. My stomach's a little upset. I'll go back and rest after we finish signing the contract. I glanced at my watch.
What time is the client arriving?
They're scheduled to sign the contract at 4:30. There are still 40 minutes left. I took the pill bottle out of the drawer and shook it. Only one pill was left. I'm going to the break room to take a pill and rest for a while. Let me know right away when the client arrives.
The break room was empty. I poured myself a cup of warm water, swallowed the pill, then leaned back on the sofa and closed my eyes. For the first time in these 3 months, I allowed myself a brief moment of relaxation. The stomach medicine worked quickly and the pain gradually eased. I was almost drifting off to sleep in this rare moment of peace. Well, well, if it isn't Mr. Shin sleeping here during work hours. A sharp female voice pierced my eardrums. I opened my eyes and saw Jin Shi-yoon, secretary He Yang-ran, standing in front of me, arms crossed, looking down at me.
I'm waiting for the client to sign the contract. I answered briefly, not wanting to waste words with her, but He Yang-ran refused to let it go. She deliberately raised her voice so that the employees in the outer office area could hear. A project took 3 months to complete. If that's not slacking off, what is it? With that kind of attitude, you're still paid such a high salary.
The company's effort to train you is wasted. I frowned. When did this intern, who had only been at the company for a month, become qualified to point fingers at me outside the break room? Employees were already peeking in curiously.
Seeing this, He Yang Ran became even more smug, actually pointing at the doorway and saying, "Get out of here right now." I slowly stood up, the pain in my stomach seemingly returning. But, compared to the physical discomfort, what was even harder to bear at this moment was the absurdity of the situation. I am one of the company's founders and the largest shareholder.
Now, I'm being publicly humiliated by a mere assistant. Who gave you the right?
I asked each word slowly, my voice not loud, but clear enough for the people outside to hear. He Yang Ran lifted her chin like a proud peacock. Of course, it's President Jin. President Jin said that whatever his status is in the company, I am the same status. The office area fell into complete silence.
Everyone stopped working and turned to look at us all at once. Suddenly, I found all of this utterly ridiculous.
For the past 3 months, I have poured my heart and soul into the company, and yet my husband gave his little secretary such power to humiliate me. Instead of flying into a rage, I laughed. Taking my phone out of my pocket, I dialed Jin Shi Yun's number right in front of everyone.
I pressed the speakerphone button. The moment the call connected, my voice was chillingly calm. Jin Shi Yun, when did my company become yours? The entire office fell into dead silence. Even He Yang Ran's arrogant swagger froze on her face. After hanging up the phone, the entire office area fell so silent that one could hear a pin drop. He Yang Ran's face turned from red to pale, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her dress. Xiao Lin, my voice was not loud, but it was clear enough. Pull He Yang Ran's personnel file out. Now. He He Ran jerked her head up. You have no right. I'm the company's second largest shareholder and executive vice president. I cut her off. Do I need your approval to check an intern's file?
Kobayashi moved quickly and 5 minutes later he came back with the tablet. I glanced at the screen and let out a cold laugh. Interesting. A graduate of an ordinary second tier university with no relevant work experience at all, yet she can parachute in as the CEO's assistant with a monthly salary of 25000.
I looked up at He Yang Ran. The terms Jin Shouyun offered you are pretty good.
Sister Jong from the marketing department quietly leaned in and said, "Mr. Shen, in the 3 months you've been away, she's really been acting all high and mighty. Just last week she even drove away Mr. Jong from Chen Group saying he was an old fossil who didn't understand innovation." A fresh wave of stabbing pain twisted through my stomach. But sharper than the pain was the surge of anger rising in my heart.
The Chen family is an old client we've worked with for 5 years bringing in nearly 10 million in business every year. Xiao Wang from the finance department also said softly, "She reimbursed 120,000 yuan for a handbag last week saying it was a public relations expense. Mr. Jin approved it directly. I We all didn't dare to ask."
My phone started vibrating. The email from the private detective was like a knife slicing open Jin Shouyun's betrayal before my eyes. Three properties, countless luxury purchases, all from our joint account. The most recent one was yesterday, a diamond bracelet worth 150,000 yuan. Shen Wei, have you had enough? Jin Shouyun's voice came from the doorway. He was impeccably dressed in a suit, his brows tightly furrowed with He Yang Ran trailing behind him.
Her eyes suddenly red. I held up the tablet. Care to explain? Did you call me back just for this little thing, Jin Shi Yoon? Didn't even glance at the tablet before immediately starting to blame me.
Yang Ran is young and inexperienced, so why not just guide her a bit more? She's just a young girl. Why bother arguing with her? Here Ran hid behind him, flashing me a triumphant smile. A minor matter. My voice was soft, yet it brooked no doubt. Misappropriating company funds, driving away important clients, publicly humiliating senior executives. Manager Jin, you call this a minor matter? Jin Shi Yoon's expression changed. Watch your attitude. I'm the company's president. No. I opened my mobile banking records and let out a soft laugh. You're just a manager holding 20% of the shares, and I have 60%. He Yan Ran's smile froze on her face. Jin Shi Yoon's face instantly turned livid. He grabbed He Yan Ran's wrist and pulled her in front of me.
Apologize to Mr. Shin. His voice was low, but he could not hide the impatience in it. He Yan bit her lower lip, a hint of venom flashing in her eyes, and muttered perfunctorily, "Sorry. Is that good enough?" I let out a cold laugh and snapped the tablet shut in my hand. Mr. Jin, is this the capable assistant you've trained? The employees throughout the entire office area held their breath. The air seemed to freeze.
He Yan Ran's face flushed red, and her fingers tightly clenched the hem of her clothes. Shin Wei, don't go too far. The veins on Jin Shi Yoon's temples bulged.
Yang Ran has already apologized. What more do you want? What do I want? I stood up and looked him straight in the eye. I want her to pack her things immediately and get out of my company.
He Yang Ran suddenly looked up, tears streaming down her face at once. What right do you have to fire me? I was personally appointed by President Jin because I am the actual controlling shareholder of this company. I cut her off, my voice clear and cold. Because you, and in turn with no qualifications at all, have racked up 680,000 yuan in public relations reimbursements in 3 months. Fees. And because of the insulting remarks you just made to your superior, isn't that enough? Jin Shouyun quickly pulled He Yang Ran behind him and roared at me, "Shen Wei, don't forget who built this company to its current scale. Me." I chuckled lightly.
"Jin Shouyun, do I need to remind you?
The company's first round of financing was secured with a business plan I wrote through sleepless nights. The first major client I won after drinking until I had a bleeding stomach. And you," I pointed at He Yang Ran, who was crying pitifully behind him, and mocked, "Now you're using money from our joint account to keep someone like this." He Yang Ran burst into tears and turned to run toward the elevator. Jin Shouyun tried to chase after her instinctively, but I stopped him with a swift grab.
"Take one step and see what happens." I lowered my voice, each word sharp as a blade. "I'll have finance freeze all your accounts right now." Jin Shouyun froze in place, watching helplessly as He Yang Ran stepped into the elevator.
When he turned back, the tenderness in his eyes instantly transformed into fury. "Shen Wei, when did you become so harsh? Yang Ran is just a little girl who doesn't know any better." A little girl at 24. I gave a mocking laugh. "Jin Shouyun, have you forgotten? The year we started our business, I was only 22." He froze for a moment, then waved his hand impatiently. "Is that the same? Yang Ran is pure and kind, unlike you." "What am I unlike?" I stepped forward and stared him in the eyes. "Unlike me, who worked myself to the bone to keep this company afloat, unlike me, who was stupid enough to believe you would. Her Jin Shoyun was forced to step back half a step by my imposing presence, then became furious and embarrassed. You don't think you're so great just because you own a few shares. Without me, the company would have collapsed long ago.
Is that so? I pulled out my phone and opened a document. Then please explain why over the past 6 months the projects you handled had rate as high as 37%.
Meanwhile, the projects I was responsible for saw a 28% increase in profits. Jin Shoyun's expression changed drastically. Clearly, he hadn't expected me to investigate so thoroughly. He opened his mouth, but not a single word came out. I continued, "Whose wardrobe did all those luxury items that He Yang Yang claimed reimbursement for end up in? Shall I check the surveillance footage?" A few stifled gasps came from the office area. Jin Shoyun's face turned completely red with embarrassment. He suddenly raised his hand. "Shin Woo, that's enough." I looked at his hand hanging in midair and sneered, "What? You want to hit me?" He froze, slowly lowering his hand, but in the next second I raised my hand and slapped him hard across the face. Smack.
The sharp slap echoed loudly in the silent office area. Jin Shoyun covered his face, staring at me in disbelief.
"Are you crazy? This slap is to wake you up." My voice was eerily calm.
"Remember, 60% of the company's shares are in my name. You're just an employee.
If I ever catch you embezzling company funds to support your mistress again, I'll make sure you leave with nothing."
Jin Shoyun's face turned from red to pale. His lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word. I turned and walked toward the office, pausing at the doorway. "By the way, starting today, all your expense reimbursements will require my signature and approval. Also, if He Yang Ran dares to step into the company again, I'll sue her and you on charges of stealing company property.
The moment I closed the door, I heard Jin Shi Yoon smashing things outside.
Strangely, my stomach didn't hurt anymore. The stagnant resentment that had been bottled up in my heart for so many years finally dispersed on my birthday. The phone screen lit up and Jin Shi Yoon's message was as brief as it was glaring. Emergency meeting. Eat by yourself. I let out a scoff and flipped my phone face down onto the tablecloth. For the first time in 3 years, you remembered my birthday, yet you couldn't even bother to come up with a decent excuse. Just then, a multimedia message from an unfamiliar number popped up. In the photo, He Yang Ran was wearing the limited edition dress I had seen at the department store last month.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, behind her, golden fireworks were exploding across the sky spell out the two big characters Yang Ran. The caption reads, "Shi Yoon said he would set off fireworks just for me."
Much better than someone's lonely birthday. My finger lingered on the screen for 2 seconds before I suddenly laughed out loud. What a childish trick.
As if they were afraid I wouldn't know they were together. Just as he was about to put down his phone, his assistant Shi Yoon's message suddenly popped up.
President Shi "Look at Weibo." He Yang Ran had actually posted the fireworks video on social media with a caption so affectatious it was disgusting. The happiest night. Grateful for that.
Special him in my life. The comment section had already flooded with thousands of blessings. Oh my god, this must be President Shi's doing, right?
Today seems to be President Shen's birthday. So romantic. Seriously jealous of this fairytale love. I can almost imagine the twisted expression on He Yanran's face when she saw these comments. As expected, within 5 minutes, she angrily replied in the comment section. What President Shen? This was specially arranged by Shi Yun for me, what? Is that old woman anyway? This reply was like a massive stone thrown into a calm pool. Netizens immediately exploded. Wait, this tone is it the mistress? Mr. Jin is married. Who is this woman? Holy the scandal of the year. Setting off fireworks for the mistress on the wife's birthday. I leisurely logged into my long unused Weibo account and posted a photo I had taken 2 hours earlier in the airport VIP lounge. The caption was just a simple sentence. On a business trip. Thanks to the team for the surprise. Netizens instantly switched on detective mode. So President Shen isn't even in the local area. So President Jin went on a date with his mistress on his wife's birthday. Did this fireworks display cost at least a million? Using marital property to support a mistress. The trending search was shooting up at a visible speed. #JinGroupPresidentCheats# #ExtravagantFireworksMistress# #CheatedOnOnTheOriginalWife'sBirthday#.
My phone started vibrating non-stop. Jin Shi Yun's calls kept coming one after another and I muted them all. It wasn't until the 17th call that I finally pressed the answer button. Jin Shi Yun's furious voice exploded in my ears. Shi Yunwei, delete that Weibo post right now. Do you know how much this affects the company's image? I gently swirled my glass of red wine. What post? I'm in Shenzhen for a meeting. After a pause, he added, "Oh, and thank Miss He for me.
She saved me the money I would have spent buying a trending topic. Cut the act. His voice suddenly rose sharply. Issue a statement right now saying that those fireworks were set off for our partners. A statement? I sneered. Fine. I'll have the PR department draft a detailed statement including all of He Yanran's reimbursement records over the past 6 months and the transfer records showing you embezzled company funds to buy her bags. The other end of the line fell suddenly silent. 3 seconds later, Jin Shi Yun's voice dropped an octave. Shen Wei, we were husband and wife after all.
Now you remember we're husband and wife.
I cut him off. When you were shopping with He Yanran in Milan using our joint credit card, when you paid the down payment for her apartment with the company account, why didn't you think about our marital bond? Without waiting for his response, I hung up directly and dragged this number into the blacklist outside. It suddenly began pouring rain.
Raindrops striking the glass like countless tiny slaps, I raised my wine glass and clinked it lightly against the empty seat. Thanks for the birthday gift you gave me. It really showed me what shamelessness looks like. The moment the alcohol went down my throat, Weibo notification sounds kept coming one after another. He Yanran's profile had already been thoroughly exposed. The platinum bag she flaunted 3 months ago had an invoice clearly issued under the Jin Group. Her vacation photos from the Maldives showed a companion wearing cufflinks identical to the ones Jin Shi Yun often wore. The funniest part was that netizens dug up a video of her being eliminated from a talent show last year. The comment section was instantly flooded with curious onlookers. So she's a little celebrity who changed careers to become a mistress. No wonder her acting is so good. I put down my glass and sent a message to the company's legal department. Compile all evidence of Jin Yun's improper financial dealings. I want it by tomorrow morning.
So, the preliminary report. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but my stomach surprisingly didn't hurt at all anymore. Letting go of a long-held obsession works better than any stomach medicine. The legal department's report arrived sooner than expected at 3:00 in the morning. I sat in the study. The documents spread out before me were like sharp knives, dissecting Jin Sheoyun's betrayal until it bled profusely. In the past 6 months, he transferred nearly 20 million in joint marital assets. An apartment bought for He Yanran, jewelry, and even a shell company registered under her name. The most ironic thing is that most of these transfers happened on the nights I stayed up late working overtime. Mr. Shun, based on this evidence, we can absolutely sue Mr. Jin for misappropriation of assets in the course of duty. On the other end of the video call, Lawyer Chen pushed his glasses up. And the company shares you hold, I raised my hand to interrupt him.
First, prepare for the divorce lawsuit.
After hanging up, I somehow found myself opening the safe. At the very bottom were photos from the early days of our startup. Back then, Jin Sheoyun was squatting in the rental apartment eating instant noodles while I was working on a proposal on a second-hand computer. He often used to say back then, "Weiwei, once the company goes public, I'll definitely buy you a big diamond ring."
Now the diamond ring has indeed been bought, but unfortunately, it's on He Yanran's finger. Weiwei, the study door was suddenly pushed open. Jin Sheoyun stood at the doorway, dark circles hanging heavily beneath his eyes, his tie crookedly hanging around his neck.
He looked just as disheveled as he had back then when he begged me to start a business with him. "I was wrong." He fell to his knees with a thud. I really lost my head for a moment. I'll cut ties with He Yang Ran right away. I calmly closed the folder. Last Wednesday, you stayed at her apartment until 2:00 a.m.
the day before yesterday. You just transferred 500,000 to her as a breakup fee. I let out a soft laugh. Jin She Yoon, even your lies are this half-hearted. His face instantly turned deathly pale, then flushed red. You're spying on me. Do I need to spy on you? I pointed at the documents on the table.
Every transaction you make with the joint account sends me a text alert. He suddenly stood up, his eyes turning fierce. Shin Woo Don't go too far. If it weren't for me, would the company be where it is today? Those words finally ignited my anger. I grabbed that old photo and threw it in his face. Look, look. Back then, who was it that slept only 4 hours a day for 3 months straight? Just to When you were raising your first round of investment, who was the one who went to meet clients the day after having a miscarriage? Just because you said the company was about to collapse. He froze, clearly not expecting me to remember these things.
Now that the company has grown, you've learned to use my money to support your mistress. I opened my computer and pulled up a surveillance video. He Yang Ran was using his supplementary card to go on a shopping spree in luxury stores.
After the trending searches blew up yesterday, her reaction was to go buy three bags. That's truly deep and sincere devotion. Jin She Yoon's fists clenched with a crackling sound. What exactly do you want? Divorce. I threw a stack of documents at him. Given that you transferred marital property, I demand that you leave with nothing.
Don't even think about it. He swept the documents off the table in one motion and roared helplessly. Believe it or not, I can make you lose everything.
That was exactly the line I was waiting for. Pressing the remote, the projector lit up and screenshots of He Yanran's social media posts flashed by one after another. Each one was showing off the gifts Jin Shouyun had bought for her with captions full of my mister Jin.
According to article 47 of the marriage law, I said slowly, the party who transfers joint property may receive a reduced share or no share of the property. He played another recording where he was roaring about making He Yanran the CEO's wife. Jin Shouyun seemed as if his backbone had been pulled out, staggering back two steps.
You you knew all along. From the first time you used the company account to buy her a bag. I stood up, looking down at him. Jin Shouyun, all these years I've managed to establish myself in the business world. It wasn't by being naive. He suddenly lunged forward trying to snatch my phone. I had been prepared and sidestepped, pressing the emergency button on the desk. Two security guards immediately rushed in. Escort mister Jin out. I adjusted my collar. By the way, I'd like to remind him that starting today, his access card is no longer valid. As Jin Shouyun was dragged out with his arms held, he was still screaming at the top of his lungs. Shun Wei, don't regret this. I'll make you pay for it. In response, I signed my name on the lawsuit document prepared by the lawyer right in front of him. The legal department had just submitted the divorce lawsuit materials to the court when Xiao Lin hurriedly burst into my office. Mister Shun, something's wrong.
Mister Jin just went to the Fu Group.
The pen in my hand paused slightly. Fu Jinju, our biggest competitor. He has been causing us a lot of trouble over the years. Jin Shouyun is like a cornered dog, desperate and lashing out.
Three days later, in the evening, the front desk suddenly notified that Fu Jinju had come to visit Mr. Shun. "I've long heard of your reputation." I kept a cold face and did not respond. Over the years, the Fu group has snatched many projects from us, so I really don't have a good impression of him. He didn't get angry either, simply took a USB drive from the paper bag and plugged it into the conference tablet. The screen lit up, revealing a clear image of Jin Show Yoon sitting in the Fu group's conference room. "If Mr. Fu gives me the position of vice president, I can provide Shun's entire product roadmap for the second half of the year." In the video, Jin Show Yoon's voice was clearly audible, including the core algorithm of the Azure series. My fingernails dug deeply into my palm. The Azure series was the result of 2 years of hard work led by me, and it was set to launch next week. The best part is yet to come. Fu Jinju suddenly fast-forwarded to the end of the video. In the footage, he stood up, revealing a sharp expression I had never seen before. "Mr. Jin, it's truly despicable how you sold your wife's years of hard work for personal gain."
Jin Show Yoon's face changed dramatically. "What do you mean?" "It means" Fu Jinju took a voice recorder out of his pocket. "This conversation will be used as evidence and handed over to Shinwei in full." The video came to an abrupt stop. The meeting room was eerily quiet. I stared at the darkened screen, momentarily unsure how to react.
"Why?" I finally spoke up. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Fu corporation." Fu Jinju suddenly laughed. "Because I knew you 10 years earlier than I knew Jin Show Yoon." He paused. "All these years, I've been targeting the Shun group only because I couldn't stand Jin Show Yoon wasting your hard work." He handed me a document. This is the so-called confidential material provided by Jin Shouyun. I haven't even broken the seal.
I took the document and found that it was indeed completely untouched. A strange warmth rose from deep within my heart, but I quickly suppressed it. What do you want? Cooperation. He met my gaze directly. For next week's Azure series launch, the Fu Group is willing to provide full channel promotional resources. I was about to refuse when my phone suddenly vibrated. It was an email from Jin Shouyun with a divorce agreement attached. He asked me to give up all company equity and marital property. Looks like Mr. Jin can't wait.
Fu Jinju glanced at the screen and let out a light chuckle. Why not turn the situation to our advantage? I suddenly understood what he meant. Picking up the pen, I signed my name in a sweeping flourish on the agreement, took a photo, and replied with a note, "As you wish."
Less than 5 minutes later, Jin Shouyun's call came through. I put it on speakerphone, and his triumphant voice echoed through the conference room. "At least you're sensible, but it's too late to regret it now. President Fu has already I promised to give it to me."
Jin Shouyun, I interrupted him. I suggest you look back on the other end of the phone was Jin Shouyun's incredulous curse. "Fu Jinju, how could you?" "I forgot to tell you." I said calmly. "Mr. Fu has just become the exclusive partner for our Azure series."
Silence, thick as death, followed on the other end of the line. Then a loud crash as something was thrown. Fu Jinju gave me a sly wink, then suddenly spoke into the phone. "Mr. Jin, the video you just leaked containing company secrets. Do you need me to send you a copy? Should I keep it as a momento for you?" "You set me up, Shen Wei. You little slut." I hung up the phone immediately and, as an afterthought, forwarded the newly received video evidence to the company's legal department. Looking up, I met Fu Jinsu's smiling eyes. "Happy cooperation." He extended his hand. I hesitated for a moment before finally grasping that hand. "Why are you helping me?" "Because I've waited 10 years for this day." His thumb brushed lightly over the back of my hand. "Wait until you see for yourself who deserves to stand by your side." The day Jin Show Yun barged into the company. I was in the conference room discussing the final plan for the Villa Blue series with heads of various departments when the door was kicked open with a loud bang.
Everyone was startled. "Shen Wei, do you think it's over just because you signed the agreement?" His eyes were red and he waved the divorce agreement in his hand.
"Fu Jin Yu has already agreed to give me the vice president position. I will make you a nothing at all." The conference room fell into a dead silence. With everyone's eyes fixed on me, I slowly closed the folder, looked up, and said to my assistant, "Xiao Lin, turn on the projector." When Jin Show Yun's own voice came from the speakers, his expression shifted from anger to terror. In the video, he was fawningly saying to Fu Jin Yu, "As long as you give me the position, Mr. Fu, I can hand over all of Shen corporation's core secrets to you." "Is it exciting?"
I pressed the pause button. "This is the performance you put on in the Fu group conference room yesterday." Jin Show Yun's face turned deathly pale. "Th- This is fabricated." "Do you need me to invite Mr. Fu here to confront you face-to-face?" I picked up my phone. "He should be very willing to testify."
Murmurs began to spread through the conference room. The CFO, Sister Wang, suddenly stood up. "President Jin, the 500,000 yuan public relations fee you approved for He Yang Ran last month.
What was it actually used for? And last year's batch of problematic materials in the supply chain, the head of the purchasing department also stood up.
Clearly, the quality inspection failed.
So, why are you forcing us to accept the goods? Questions came one after another, and Jin Shou Yun staggered back two steps. I pressed the intercom and said, "Security, please escort this gentleman out. From today on, he is forbidden from stepping into the Shin Group building even one step." When the security guards held his arms, Jin Shou Yun finally broke down. "Shin Woo, you set me up.
Not even a fraction of what you did to me," I said coldly. "By the way, He Yang Ran asked me to tell you that she and you were never more than ordinary colleagues." The projection switched to her latest video. He Yang Ran cried tearfully into the camera, "I was coerced by Jin Shou Yun. He used his power to force me." Jin Shou Yun suddenly let out a roar unlike any human voice. Struggling to lunge forward, the security guards immediately dragged him out, and his curses echoed for a long time in the hallway. "The meeting continues," I calmly opened the file.
"Where were we just now? Oh, right.
About the issues found in the internal audit." The legal director took over the conversation. "Preliminary investigations have revealed that several close associates arranged by Jin Shou Yun are involved in serious embezzlement with the amount possibly exceeding 20 million. All cases will be handed over to the judicial authorities for processing." I signed my name on the meeting minutes. "Don't let a single one get away." As I walked out of the conference room, Xiao Lin caught up to me and whispered, "Mr. Shin, Mr. Fu asked if you're free for dinner tonight, zero." I looked at the bright sunlight outside the window. For the first time, I felt that this nightmare, which had dragged on for far too long, was finally about to end and a new story may have only just begun. The next day, I was buried in the company restructuring plan. Fu Jinju quietly walked over. Over the past month, he had come to keep me company almost every day, working overtime with me until late into the night. From the initial business cooperation, it gradually turned into I'm not sure what to call it. "What are you thinking about?" he suddenly asked.
"I wonder if some people showed up too late." I blurted it out, then awkwardly lowered my head and took a sip of coffee. Fu Jinju's hand suddenly covered the back of mine. "It's not too late, as long as it ends up right in the end."
There was a knock on the office door and Xiaolin walked in holding a court summons. "Mr. Shin, Jin Shi-yoon's case will go to trial next week." I flipped open the file and saw the indictment accusing Jin Shi-yoon of commercial espionage and embezzlement of office duties. Unexpectedly, I felt utterly calm inside. Three months ago, such a scene might still have broken my heart.
Now, all that remained was the cold detachment of handling business as business. In the courtroom, Jin Shi-yoon looked so haggard he was almost unrecognizable. When the prosecutor played the recording of his conversation with Fu Jinju, he suddenly sprang up and pointed at me, roaring, "It's all this woman's trap. I've given 10 years to the company and she's just so heartless."
The judge had to strike the gavel three times before he quieted down. I sat in the plaintiff's seat, calmly recounting how he had embezzled company funds and sold trade secrets. When He Yang Ran was mentioned, the public gallery suddenly erupted in commotion. No one knows who leaked her latest livestream video. On the screen, she was shrieking and cursing. "Jin Shi-yoon is just a freeloader. Those bags and jewelry were all forced on me by him. Why should I have to give them back now? The judge had no choice but to announce a temporary recess as she walked out of the courtroom. Reporters swarmed around her with cameras and microphones. Ms. Shen, we heard you're seeking to recover marital property. What do you think about He Yan Ran's claim that those were gifts? I stopped in my tracks, smiled slightly at the camera and said, "According to the marriage law, disposing of a large amount of marital joint property unilaterally during the marriage requires the other agreed. If Ms. He feels wronged, she can always sue Jin Shu Yun for fraud." The next day, the entertainment headlines prominently featured a video of He Yan Ran causing a scene in a luxury store with the title "Mistress Furious at Sugar Daddy, He Lied to Me" claiming he was a single tycoon on the day of the divorce verdict. I found myself inexplicably drawn to our old office from our startup days. This small suite in the old city district had already been purchased by me. It still looks just as it did back then. The whiteboard, now mottled with age, still bears the business plan we wrote all those years ago. That second-hand sofa in the corner is where we often fell asleep in each other's arms. I knew I'd find you here. Fu Jin Shu's voice came from behind. He held the verdict in his hand. Fu Jin Shu suddenly took out a small box from his pocket. "Would you consider starting a new relationship?" He opened the box revealing a simple key inside. "The key to my home. It's not a proposal. I just want you to know that I'm always always here." I took the key and suddenly realized the corners of my mouth were turning up. Just then, my phone started vibrating wildly. It was Jin Shu Yun's number. I pressed the answer button and his hysterical voice came through. "Shen Wei, are you satisfied now? I have nothing left now. He Yang Ran that. That even sued me for fraud.
I looked at Fu Jinju, whose eyes were full of tenderness before me, and said calmly into the phone, "Jin Show Yun, I once thought losing you would be the world apocalypse." Pausing for a moment, but now I finally understand. That was just the beginning of a new life. After hanging up the phone, I took Fu Jinju's hand. "Let's go. Take me to see your home." Three years later, at the moment the bell rang for the IPO, Fu Jinju took my hand under the gaze of everyone.
Camera flashes flickered. And the reporters' questions came one after another. "Mr. Shin, the company's market value has tripled. How do you feel about it?" I looked at the man in a well-tailored suit beside me, whose pride in his eyes was even stronger than my own. "I want to thank a special partner." I raised Fu Jinju's hand.
"Without him, there would be No Shin Technology today." Shin Shin Wei. A hoarse voice came from behind. I turned around and saw Jin Show Yun standing not far away, holding a waiter's tray there.
Suit he was wearing clearly didn't fit him. His temples had already turned gray, and he was a completely different person from the spirited young man in my memory. "How did you get in here?" Fu Jinju immediately stepped forward half a pace. Standing in front of me, Jin Show Yun's eyes flickered. "I I'm working as a waiter at the hotel now." He swallowed hard and said, "Wei Wei, can I talk to you alone for a few words?" The music had just ended, and the people around us began turning their attention this way.
I gently patted Fu Jinju's arm. "It's okay." The night breeze on the terrace was cool. Jin Show Yun's hands trembled uncontrollably. "I I know I was wrong.
Every day this past year, I've been filled with regret." "What about He Yang Ran?" I cut him off. "Didn't she accompany you to experience the hardships of ordinary life? His face twisted instantly. That she latched onto a real estate tycoon and even exposed our private affairs online.
I swirled my champagne glass and suddenly felt utterly bored. Wei Wei, for the sake of our 10 years together.
He suddenly grabbed my wrist. Could you let me go back to the company even if it means starting from the bottom? I gently pulled my hand back saying nothing with a faint smile. Jin Shi Xuan's face instantly turned deathly pale. You, how can you be so heartless? Heartless? I let out a light laugh. Jin Shi Xuan, do you know what He Yanran said when she testified in court? She said you had long planned to transfer assets and even on our fifth wedding anniversary, you were already with her. He froze in place as if struck by lightning. But I actually have to thank you. I took a sip of champagne. If it weren't for your betrayal, I would never have known my worth goes far beyond being just Mrs. Jin. The glass door was pushed open and Fu Jinzhu came out holding my shawl.
It's chilly outside. He naturally draped it over me. His fingers lingering on my shoulder for a second. Jin Shi Xuan's gaze moved back and forth between us and he suddenly let out a bitter laugh. So that's how it is. You two have already No. I took Fu Jinzhu's hand on my own.
We got together only after you were imprisoned. After all, not everyone is as shameless as you. I hooked my arm through Fu Jinzhu's and turned to leave.
Then suddenly looked back at Jin Shi Xuan and raised my glass. By the way, for the wedding between Jinzhu and me next month, you're welcome to come serve as a waiter. As we walked into the brightly lit hall, Fu Jinzhu whispered in my ear, "Do you really want me to invite him to serve?" I smiled and shook my head. "Just send him an invitation.
That's enough. Let him watch us exchange rings. I looked up into his gentle eyes.
I want him to remember forever what he lost and what I gained. Applause broke out and we embraced and danced in the spinning blur of vision. I caught a glimpse of the stooped figure on the terrace quietly leaving. A painful past has finally been completely put behind me and ahead lies the true peak of life that belongs to me. The end. The first story ends here. I hope you enjoyed it.
The next story will be even more exciting. Let's continue together and keep reading. A video surfaced showing that Lin Xue, Gong Jian Mingyu's childhood sweetheart, slashed her wrists in a suicide attempt and forced him to call off his wedding with me. After the incident came to light, people pointed at her and cursed her as a home wrecker and her illness grew even worse. Jiang Mingyu came to me with a divorce agreement asking me to pretend to divorce him. I placed a hand over the three-month-old baby in my belly and closed my eyes bitterly. His low voice sounded in my ear, "She's this sick because of me. I feel guilty and I can't just ignore her. Once her emotions stabilize after that, we'll remarry." I was tired of seeing how cautious he was in front of Lin Xue and I was sick of hearing him use guilt as an excuse to maintain an ambiguous relationship with Lin Xue. But I still kept going in this marriage of humiliation and compromise for the sake of the child in my womb. It wasn't until I overheard Lin Xue and her mother's conversation in the hospital. He'll use a fake divorce to trick Xue Juju into signing the divorce agreement, then have this child. By then, if Xue Juju wants to remarry him, it will be absolutely impossible. At that moment, I was in unbearable agony. At the same time, it also woke me up completely. I did as they wished and signed the divorce agreement. A few months later, Jiang Mingyu came to me begging to remarry.
Zhuzhu, I've thought it through. Let's get remarried. I want our child to have a complete family from the moment they're born. He looked at my flat belly. His brows tightly furrowed.
Where's the child? I smiled. It's been gone for a long time. We'll never get back together in this lifetime. When Jiang Mingyu rushed to the hospital carrying the unconscious Lin Xue, I had just finished my prenatal checkup. I clutched my stomach breaking out in a cold sweat as I hurried after him with a cold face and agitated emotions. He yelled at me in front of the doctors and nurses. How did you come here? Do you want to kill her? She's in very bad shape right now. Don't stimulate her anymore. Before I could tell him I was here for a prenatal checkup, he turned and followed the doctor away. When I was about to go back, I passed by the ward and overheard Lin Xue talking with her mother. Mom, I'm fine. Don't worry. My illness was cured long ago. I deliberately leaked this suicide video.
Brother Mingyu said he would divorce Zhuzhu and he would also make it public that his marriage with Zhuzhu had long since a shell in name only. This way, I won't be insulted as a mistress. There was some doubt in her mother's words, but she's still carrying his child. Can this marriage really be divorced? Lin Xue's tone was very confident. The child has to be born and the marriage has to end. I can't have children. So, in the future this child will be mine and brother Mingyu's.
Mom, don't worry. He'll use a fake marriage to trick Zhuzhu into signing the divorce agreement and then have this child. At that time, if Zhuzhu wants to remarry him, it will be absolutely impossible. The dull ache in my chest spread through my entire body all at once. I braced myself against the the with my hand to keep from falling. As early as 3 days ago, after Lin Shu's suicide video blew up and spread online, he came to me holding the divorce agreement, begging me, "Juju, let's pretend to get divorced. Once her condition stabilizes, we can remarry.
She's in this state because of me. I feel guilty toward her, and I can't just ignore her." I've already lost count of how many times Jiang Mingyu and I have argued over Lin Shu. Each time, we've hovered on the brink of a shattered marriage and a breakup. From our mutual affection in high school to officially becoming a couple in college, we survived the tough long-distance relationship and went through the long period of adjustment while living together. Now we also have a child. I thought the happiness of a family of three was waving at me, but all of this turned into a bubble in an instant. We had arguments, conflicts, even runaways, and silent treatment. But at the edge of it all, we would always each step back, then smile and hold each other in an embrace until Lin Shu appeared before us with a diagnosis of depression. Jiang Mingyu changed. I often ask myself, why is this? Why must I alone bear the grievances and pain of the bond between them? It wasn't until now, hearing the conversation between the mother and daughter, that I finally understood completely. My marriage to Jiang Mingyu had long since reached its end. He used me as part of a scheme, and even tried to deceive me into giving birth to their child. The bloody truth left me wounded beyond all recognition, but the pain made me painfully clear-headed. I sat on the bench, thinking back over the past few years of his history with Lin Shu.
As my best friend had said, Lin Shu's presence was the cancer of our marriage.
If Jiang Mingyu let this tumor keep growing, then my marriage to Jiang Mingyu would be a grave. Looking back, he had always been indulging her. He would prepare gifts for Lin Shu on her birthday, Valentine's Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day. On every holiday, he would have a gift ready. At the slightest word from Lin Shu that she felt unwell, he would immediately drop everything he was doing and rush to her side at the first possible moment.
Whether Lin Shu's depression was real or fake, in his eyes, it would never be fake. During the year when her condition was at its worst, he brought her home to take care of her. All because she heard the passionate sounds between me and Jiang Mingyue at night, she went crazy in the middle of the night, stood on the balcony, and threatened to commit suicide by jumping. He would kick me out of the house without even letting me change my shoes or clothes. All because he was afraid her emotions would spiral out of control and become difficult to soothe. When she destroyed my wedding dress, Jiang Mingyue stepped over the scattered pieces of the dress and ran to hold her tightly. He snatched the scissors from her hand, grasped her wrist, which hadn't broken the skin, and despite everyone's objections, took it.
She canceled the wedding and carried her to the hospital. And I knelt on the ground, picking up those shattered pieces that could no longer be put back together, feeling wronged and wanting to cry. Lin Shu's scissors cut my wedding dress to pieces, and Jiang Mingyue abandoned me at the wedding, tearing a deep wound in my heart. Just as I was about to give up, Jiang Mingyue came running back, held me, and begged for my forgiveness. He even coaxed me into calming down by saying he would give me the grand wedding I deserved. I have always been someone who never gives up when faced with difficulties, so I gritted my teeth and held on, slowly waiting for that wound to heal. What's tragic is that while I was healing myself, they were already planning to pour salt onto my bleeding wound. All these years of heartfelt devotion turned out to be a joke. I braved Jiang Cheng's most biting wind and the coldest rain and finally walked back to the home I had silently protected for 5 years. I took out my phone and sent him a message, "Come back. Let's talk." Jiang Minyu came back. Seeing me sitting on the sofa, my hair dripping wet as I sat in a daze, he tossed the car keys in.
His hand aside, hurriedly ran to the bathroom to bring me a towel and a hair dryer and wrapped me up just like just like when we first started dating. You dry my hair and blow dry it for me.
Where's Aunt Zhong? Have you eaten? I sent the nanny back to her hometown. You washed your hair but didn't dry it properly. You're pregnant. What if you catch a cold? I pushed his hand away and the hair dryer in my hand fell silent. I looked up at him with a dejected expression. Right now, in your eyes, all you can see is the child in my womb.
Isn't that so? His expression froze slightly. Perhaps he had never seen me this devastated before. At my most aggrieved, I would only cry for a moment, curse him a couple of times, and at most, in a fit of pique, throw a pillow at him and make him sleep on the sofa. Hair loss, I already said it was a fake divorce. How can you still make yourself suffer like this? And you still want to lie to me. My eyes were brimming with tears and the pain in my heart spread through my entire body once again. Jiang Minyu, we've argued for so many years. When have we ever talked about breaking up or getting a divorce?
Even if you think this time is fake, how could you say that in front of me? How could you bear to? After saying that, the tears still could not be controlled and fell down. I'm not as strong as I imagined myself to be. When something upsets or wrongs me, I just cry. And it's not just a few tears. It's the kind where I sob nonstop. That kind. The more you cry, the worse it feels. I bit my lip trying to stop myself from sobbing, but tears still kept streaming down my face. Her illness is fake. You can't not know that. Over the years, how many times has she threatened suicide? And when has she ever really died? What? If she truly became neither human nor ghost because she couldn't have the one she loved, she wouldn't be thinking about making you and me divorce. She would drag you down to die with her. He looked into my eyes, which seemed to widen endlessly, clearly catching the meaning behind my words. Juju, what's wrong? I think I might be depressed, too. Maybe I'm just like Lin Xiu now, wanting to be depressed, but unable to truly fall into it, only lingering endlessly on the edge. I really want to pretend for a while. Jiang Ming Yue, I think I'm sick, too. Are you still going to pretend to divorce me? He reached out to embrace me, his hot palm enveloping my hand, gently pressing against my ear. Juju, don't joke like that. Lin Xiu has already caused me enough guilt.
If I add you to that, how can I even live? I gave a bitter smile. In his heart, he would always believe only in Lin Xiu, no matter what Lin Xiu does, he will believe her. On this point, I lost long ago. So, no matter how hard I try to pretend, I can never be like Lin Xiu.
No matter how firmly I insist on not divorcing you, you will still divorce me for Lin Xiu's sake. It's a fake divorce.
He emphasized with force, held me tightly, yet I felt no warmth at all. I closed my eyes in his embrace, shed one last tear for him and for our marriage, then pulled away from his arms and extended my hand toward him. Give it to me. He frowned slightly. You agreed to a fake divorce. Really? I wiped away a tear from my face and lifted my eyes calmly to meet the slight excitement in his gaze. The words he was about to say were cut off, however. It stopped there.
I knew what he was going to say. I reached out took the divorce agreement from his hand. He grabbed my hand. Juju, thank you for your understanding. Just focus on safely giving birth to the child. Once Xiaoxiao's condition stabilizes, then let's get married again. When that time comes, I'll definitely give you a grand wedding. I said nothing, afraid I wouldn't be able to hold myself back and lunge at him to slap him. I won't be going home these next few days. I'm worried Xiaoxiao might get suspicious and think we're really divorced. Take good care of yourself, and if anything comes up, call me. His voice slowly faded away amidst the sound of me closing the door. I leaned against the door, supporting myself, and called my best friend while clutching my chest. I'm divorced, and I don't want the child either. I'll come to the hospital to see you tomorrow.
Because of that woman. No, for my own sake. After receiving my divorce agreement, Jiang Mingyu, in an effort to calm Lin Xue's emotions, obeyed without question and publicly announced our divorce on social media. The news spread quickly on social media after stepping down from the operating table. I weakly took the phone my best friend handed me.
This was the 17th call from my mom.
What's going on between you and Mingyu?
Didn't he say it was a fake divorce? Why did he post about it on social media? Is he planning to tell everyone? Have you two divorced? From what I see, this doesn't seem like it's for treating that woman's illness. It looks more like he really does want to divorce you. Is there really a problem between you two?
You'd better not hide it from the family. Okay, you know, after finally getting pregnant, this child is going to inherit Mingyu's property in the future.
You need to take good care of yourself.
I just heard Yingying say that you're in the hospital. The baby in your belly is okay, right? I know you're not in a very good mood. Don't overthink it. Mingyu loves you so much. He'll definitely find a way to handle this matter properly." I called out to her weakly, my face deathly pale and my voice choking. "Mom, how much money did you actually take from Jiang Ming Yu?" My mother's voice trembled slightly. "Wh- What money?" I gave a bit of smile. "Stop hiding it from me. Jiang Ming Yu didn't give you any benefits, so you wouldn't have agreed to my fake divorce with him, would you?" My mom, cornered by me, had no choice but to come clean. "It wasn't much, just 3 million. It would be foolish not to take it. So, don't you go eyeing my 3 million, you and him. Fake divorce, you must have gotten a lot out of it. 3 million is a small amount to you. Your dad and I are planning to take this money and travel abroad. You know your brother is useless. He's almost drained the family's money. We" Before my mom could finish speaking, I hung up on her. Ever since I was little, my mom has always been obsessed with money.
Back when I was dating Jiang Ming Yu, my mom was fixated on the fact that he owned a company and could make money, insisting that I settle down with him early, willingly marry him, and even gave up the opportunity to go abroad for further studies. Now they can even hurt their own biological daughter for the little money Jiang Ming Yu gives them. I never had much expectation of them or of this family of origin, let alone that they would be there in this. At that time, it brought me strength and warmth.
I swallowed the bitterness and turned off my phone. "That bastard Jiang Ming Yu planned all along to divorce you, and he even bribed everyone in your family.
I'm looking for" He went to settle the account. I held Ying Ying's hand. "Don't go. It's already over.
There's no use saying any of this." Ying Ying squeezed my hand, her heart aching for me. "What are you going to do from now on? If he really means it, then you won't be able to remarry him. Right now, you're still He hit his child. What if he I bit my dry lips, enduring the pain as I interrupted Yingying's words. I don't even want the child anymore. What use is he to me? After staying in the hospital for 3 days after having a nutritious meal with my bestie in the small town, I went home. Just as I got to the downstairs area, I noticed the lights were on at home. I had thought Jiang Mingyue had come back. Who would have known that as soon as I pushed the door open, I heard Lin Shu's sweet, coquettish voice. Brother Mingyue, don't touch there. It's so ticklish. I just stood there watching the two on the sofa. Lin Shu was sitting sideways, her bare legs resting on Jiang Mingyue's lap. Jiang Mingyue was massaging her calves, completely unaware that I had returned home. It wasn't until Lin Shu cast a provocative glance my way. Why is she still coming? Didn't you two get divorced? Jiang Mingyue looked up at me, and his face instantly went pale. He quickly put down Lin Shu's legs and walked toward me. Didn't you go on a trip? Why are you back after just 3 days? While I was in the hospital, Jiang Mingyue had called me. I said I was traveling abroad, and he actually believed it. While I was away from home, he even brought Lin Shu in. Xiaoshu has been discharged from the hospital. She said it feels comfortable living in this house, and the doctor also said she should be kept in a cheerful mood. This will be very helpful for her recovery. I thought she would want to stay away a bit longer, so I let her. Brother Mingyue, you lied to me again. You never divorced her at all. You two Lin Shu became emotional again. The old routine, crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang herself. She flung her hand and started smashing things on the floor. In her hand was exactly the couple's mug that Jiang Mingyue and I shared. It shattered all over the floor.
Smash it. Anyway, I don't want any of it. I'll have the housekeeper clear it all out later. Jiang Ming Yue rushed over and hugged her tightly. Xiaoxu, don't get worked up. Listen to my explanation. We really are divorced. In a couple of days, we'll go get the divorce certificate. Lin Xue's expression noticeably steadied upon hearing the words. Divorce certificate.
She hugged Jiang Ming Yue back. Ming Yue, I want to go with you. I want to see you get the divorce certificate with my own eyes. Jiang Ming Yue affectionately patted her head. Okay. He carried her into the guest room and Lin Xue nestled in his arms, feeling quite smug by the time he had comforted Lin Xue and come out. I had already washed up and was ready to go to bed. He came in and took his pajamas from my room.
Tonight, I'll sleep on the sofa. Afraid that Xiaoxu might overthink it, I didn't reply to him and continued scrolling through my phone. Not long after he left, a message from him popped up on my phone. Juju, I'm sorry you had to go through that today. Tomorrow, I'll have someone come help you move your things.
Where would you like to stay? Is he trying to drive me away? I replied right away. This is my home. I'm not going anywhere. He responded very quickly.
Don't do this. Xiaoxu has only just gotten a little better, so let's not upset her. You and I living together in this house is not appropriate. The suburban villa is quiet and comfortable, suitable for resting during pregnancy.
I'll take you there tomorrow. Seeing the message where he was driving me away again, I let out a self-mocking laugh and my emotions surged up in an instant.
Jiang Ming Yue, I've told you. This is my home. I live here and I'm not going anywhere soon. He knocked on my door, looking very impatient. Why won't you listen? Do you want what happened tonight to happen again? Your presence is only provoking her and she could get hurt. I gave a faint smile, tossed the phone aside, and burrowed under the blanket. She's so good at pretending.
She won't let herself die like this. A cold glint tightened in his eyes. Do you even understand? I could never gamble with her life against yours and I would never use her life to prove a point to you. Is she really pretending or not?
His cold stare stabbed me again and I looked back at him coldly. My tone hardening. I'll say it again. This is my home. The ones who should get out are you. He frowned deeply, unable to believe I would say such things to him.
Shu Jiu Jiu, how have you become like this now? Do you have to see Xiao Shu dead before you're happy? I snorted coldly and threw the pillow beside me at him. Yes, I want her dead. He was thrown back two steps by me and his face darkened as well. You're becoming more and more unreasonable. He picked up the pillow from the floor and threw it toward the sofa by the window as if he had nowhere else to vent his frustration. Finally, he slammed the door shut, stood outside for a few seconds, and then softened his tone.
Fine, you stay here. Don't get upset.
Don't harm the baby in your belly. The next day, Jiang Ming Yue took Lin Shu out on the pretext of going on a trip to help her relax. He coaxed Lin Shu into leaving. I immediately had the nanny clear out all of Jiang Ming Yue's and Lin Shu's belongings. I took a photo and sent it over and also told him that all of his and Lin Shu's things had been sent to his office together. Executive, what do you mean by that? Since you and I are already divorced, let's make it clean and final. Don't even think about leaving your things at my place. As for Lin Shu's things, that's even less likely. He replied quickly, his tone clearly urgent. I've told you, it's a fake divorce. Do Do really have to take it so seriously? I sneered silently to myself, Jiang Mingxu. I don't have time to play your fake divorce game. After I went back, Jiang Mingxu's call came through very quickly. His voice obviously panicked. What do you mean? I gave a faint smile and raised my voice toward the phone. Go keep your little shoe company then. After hanging up the phone, I blocked all his contact information. Soon, I received a call from the real estate company. Ms. Xu, the valuation of the property under your name has come out. It's 100 million.
Then I called my lawyer. Ms. Xu, according to your calculations, after liquidating the assets and company shares under your name, you would receive 270 million yuan. I dialed another phone number. Mr. Wen, is your company still in need of a partner? The kind that comes with a dry share. What's the matter? Thinking of coming to me with the money your ex-husband gave you.
Just tell me, can you take me in?
Couldn't ask for more. 1 month later, I saw Jiang Mingxu again at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Behind him was Lin Xu, dressed head to toe in Chanel, with a new hairstyle. And the pink diamond ring on her hand was dazzling. No matter how you looked at it, there was no sign of illness in his mental state. He walked toward me. You sold the house. I nodded. My things, I have the right to decide what to do with them. He glanced at Lin Xu, who was watching him from not far away, and lowered his voice. That was our wedding home. How could you bear to sell it? I didn't answer him. I just pulled my collar closed, feeling a little cold from the chilly breeze. Didn't you think to wear more? You're pregnant, after all. He was about to take off his coat, but then thought of the people watching behind him. He lowered his hand from the buttons. Took, if you're taking out your phone, you need to make a call. I'll have the driver take you back. No need.
Someone has come to pick me up. When Li's car arrived just in time, I waved to indicate my location. Jiang Ming Yue frowned. When Li is back in the country?
I nodded. I was getting ready to leave when he grabbed me by the arm. Jiang Ming Yue's expression instantly turned anxious with no regard at all for Lin Shu who was watching him from behind.
When did he come back? What do you mean by this now? Didn't you promise me you wouldn't contact him anymore? Jiang Ming Yue, I only have a few acquaintances in Jiangcheng. Is divorce something to be happy about? I care about my reputation, unlike you who made it known to everyone before even getting the marriage certificate. But why did you have to choose him? What's wrong with him? What about him is bothering you? Before you showed up, he was the one who treated me best around me as my friend. Friend, Jiang Ming Yue's emotions instantly became agitated. From the time I met him until now, whenever he hears the name Wen Li, his emotions become unstable.
Wen Li pursued me, but at that time, because of Jiang Ming Yue's heroic rescue, I quickly developed feelings of love. I parted ways with my beloved roommate, Wen Li, who went abroad for several years. Only 2 months ago did he return to Jiangcheng to pursue his career and through Ying Ying, he got in touch with me. But we've always kept our distance. I heard from Ying Ying that he has a very beautiful foreign girlfriend overseas. What happened before would no longer be mentioned by anyone and we would still be good friends. As for why Jiang Ming Yue's hostility toward Wen Li was so strong, it was probably because Wen Li was walking toward me at that moment holding a very large bouquet of roses.
I wanted to break free from Jiang Ming Yue's hand, but he wouldn't let go. Your little sister is coming after you. It's not appropriate for you to be entangled with me like this. Hearing me say that, he looked back. Lin Shu was frowning, staring fixedly at him. Gripping me tightly, he loosened his hand, and his steps toward him grew faster and faster.
He immediately let go when Li handed the rose to me. It was my favorite pink rose. A cheerful smile spread across his handsome, mature face as he pulled a cigarette from his pocket and offered it to Jiang Mingyue, old classmate, happy divorce. Jiang Mingyue's face darkened.
He didn't take the cigarette, and it seemed like he wanted to say that we were only pretending to divorce. Before he could get the words out, Lin Shu, who had caught up, linked her arm with his.
Brother Mingyue, it's so cold outside today. Let's hurry back. Jiang Mingyue awkwardly made Lin Shu let go of his arm. She simply refused, clinging even more tightly that challenging gaze never left me from start to finish. Suddenly, I felt a tight grip on my shoulder as Wen Li took off his coat and draped it over me. It's really cold today. Let's head back early. I smiled and nodded, and he wrapped his arm around my shoulder as we walked away, turning back to smile at Jiang Mingyue, whose face was dark with annoyance. Old classmate, remember to treat me to a farewell meal another day. I'm back in the country now and have plenty of time. I didn't see what expression Jiang Mingyue had when Li said, "Black as Judge Bao, ugly as sin." It seems Wen Li truly matured during these years abroad. His company made it onto the Jiangcheng business list in just a few short months. With the sudden rise of Wen Li, the big shots in the business world began to turn their attention to it. So, the investment I put in, even that little bit of money has started multiplying. I was happily browsing through how people on the internet hype up this promising stock in the business world, an unfamiliar number called in. I didn't want to answer it, but I accidentally pressed the answer button. Juju, it's me. Where are you now? It was Jiang Mingyu's voice. Anything. Jiang Mingyu must never have imagined I would speak to him in such a cold tone. He hesitated slightly. Juju, I know you're still angry with me. What do I have to do to get you to bring me back? I've already It's been a while since I last saw you and the kids. How are our children doing? I'm a little worried about you.
Let me see you and the child. Okay. I lowered my head and looked at my flat abdomen, and the pain in my heart once again spread violently throughout my body. The child has already taken shape.
I was the one who gave up on him, who took him away with my own hands. I took a deep, trembling breath. I'm doing fine. I'm busy right now. Do you need something? If not, I'm hanging up. Wait.
Juju, I ordered a set of jewelry for you. Give me your address, and I'll send it over to you. I even gave back the wedding ring he gave me. Would I still want the jewelry he gave me now? No need. If your little Shu finds out later, she'll make a scene again, and I don't want you to use her life to coax me. Jiang Mingyu eagerly interrupted me.
I won't let her know. Just tell me the address, and I'll bring it to you tomorrow. I'd also like to see you and the child. He mentioned the child again, intensifying the pain in my heart once more. I was about to hang up the phone with trembling hands when Wen Li shouted interrupted me. Juju, bring me the bath towel. Suppressing my emotions, I got up to fetch the bath towel. The person on the other end of the phone had already exploded in anger. Who? Him? Are you two together now? Shu Juju, we had a fake divorce, and now you can't even wait to be with him. How can you do this to me?
How can you do this to our child? Jiang Mingyu's words once again stabbed fiercely into my heart like thorny vines. What Lin Xu said. To her mother in the hospital was still ringing clearly in my ears. I raised my voice directly into the phone. Jiang Mingxu, don't always use the child as an excuse.
If you like children so much, why don't you have your little Xu have one for you? Or is it that she can't have children? I finally managed to say those words. It felt incredibly satisfying.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a long sigh, his tone also softened. All right, Juju, don't get upset. I won't argue with you.
Give me your address now, and I'll come pick you up right away. I hung up the phone directly. No matter how many times he called back, I kept hanging up. When Li walked towards me, holding Nemo in his arms, it took you so long to get a towel. I've already blow-dried Nemo directly. Nemo is the pet dog he gave me, a sort of comfort for the loss of that child. I quite like him. It's my first time raising a pet, and it feels a bit like raising a child. I'm not very skilled at it when Li lived nearby and would come every night to help me bathe Nemo. Jiang Mingxu. I nodded. When Li set Nemo down from his arms and sat down next to me, seeing me repeatedly hang up the phone, he snatched it directly from me, and the screen was paused on a color ultrasound image. He simply turned off my phone and tossed it aside. I glared at him with reddened eyes. He smiled, shrugged at me, and puckered his lips to tease me. Shuju too. You look so ugly right now. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So, I reached out and gave his arm a hard punch. Bastard. Bastard.
Bastard. Tears began to fall uncontrollably. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into his arms, holding me tightly. Don't punish yourself like this. It wasn't your fault. Believe me, the baby will understand you. I was the one who didn't want him, who gave him up, who personally took him away. No matter what I do, I can't forgive myself ever since the miscarriage. Many times I have woken up crying from my dreams.
Although I couldn't see the baby's face in the dream, I knew he was the baby I had not wanted. He was crying so heartbreakingly, and every cry stabbed painfully at my heart. I wanted to hold him, but he was always far away from me.
I reached out and he ran away crying. No matter how hard I chased him, I could never catch up. I knew he hated me. He hated me for my ruthless abandonment of him, and he could only punish me in my dreams with his agonized, helpless sobbing. I lifted my tear-red eyes from his embrace. Will he truly understand me? When Lee's solemn gaze held a faint, comforting smile, like a ray of sunlight, a mother and child share a deep bond. He felt your pain and left only temporarily, not wanting to be a burden to you. Believe me, the day will come when you meet again, Juju. You need to be strong and bravely face all of this before you have a chance to meet your baby. That day, I cried for a long time, and I also began to try to believe when Lee's words that night in my dream, my baby finally smiled at me after crying and crying.
Later, he came closer to me, finally letting me see what he looked like. He looked very fair and clean, very cute, smiling. He waved at me and said to me in a soft, childlike voice, "Mom, wait for me." When I woke up in the early hours of the morning, I was sleeping on the sofa, and a familiar face appeared right before my eyes. When Lee sat on the ground and kept watch over me all night, awake, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and struggled to get up from the floor.
I sat up and realized that the coat covering me was his. I straightened the coat I was wearing and handed it to him.
"Why didn't you leave?" "I forgot." He stood up, stretched, took the coat, and struggled a bit to put it on. It seems my arm was hurt by my pillow last night.
Thank you. When Li, at my sudden thank you, he gave a slight tug to his lips.
I'll come over for dinner again tonight.
I don't know what method Jiang Mingyu used to find my place. He knocked on my door. Juju, I've thought it through.
Let's get remarried. I want our child to have a complete family from the moment they're born. I looked at the joy and anticipation in his eyes at this moment.
He kept saying he wanted to give the child a complete home. Surprisingly, my heart no longer ached and my emotions remained completely unchanged. His gaze quickly fell on my lower abdomen. It had been 3 months since the divorce and my stomach was not swollen high but remained flat instead. The joy in his eyes vanished instantly as he asked in panic, "Where's the child?" I smiled calmly at him. "It's long gone and we can never remarry in this lifetime." His expression instantly darkened and a surge of fury churned endlessly in his eyes. "Why?" "There's no why. We're already divorced, so there's no need for him to keep it anymore." His grip tightened on my hand as he grabbed me hard. "I've told you so many times.
We're only divorcing on paper. Why did you have to abort the baby?" His eyes were bloodshot and the veins on his forehead throbbed violently. "Because of Wen Li. You couldn't wait to be with him, so you aborted my child. How could you be so heartless? Do you know how long I've been waiting for this child to be born? Xu Juju, how dare you get rid of my child?" He shoved me hard against the wall. My lower back pressed into the shoe cabinet by the doorway. In an instant, a sharp pain spread through my whole body and a cold sweat broke out on my back. Suddenly, the pain was so intense that I couldn't even straighten up it. Seemed he realized that his crazed shove had hurt me and he hurried over to help me up. Juju, I didn't mean it. I shook off his hand, looking at him with a deathly pale face, and enduring the pain, spoke word by word, "What right do you have to accuse me? Do you want me to give birth to this child and have him call Lin Shu mom? Jiang Mingyu, you're really well. Lin Shu can't have children, so you want me to bear one for you. I'm not that stupid. Get out right now, or I'll call the police." I pointed toward the door and told him to get out.
He furrowed his brow, the guilt in his eyes growing deeper. "Juju, where are you hurt? Let me see." I gritted my teeth. "Get out." I pushed him out forcefully, closed the door, and leaned against it, gasping for breath from the pain in my lower back. Jiang Mingyu was still knocking incessantly on my door outside. I took out my phone and immediately called the property management. Jiang Mingyu was finally taken away by the property management upon learning about my injury. When Li came over quickly, he carried me to the hospital after taking an X-ray. The doctor said I had injured my lumbar spine and needed to stay in bed for a few days. Ying Ying was so angry, she wanted to call the police. I stopped her and told her to let it go. I really don't want to see Jiang Mingyu right now. I don't even want to hear his name.
I don't know why. The more I don't want to hear it, the more this name keeps drilling into my ears. Miss Lin from room 1125 is a regular here. I heard she has depression, and it's been years.
She's had several episodes, committed suicide. Why again this time? I didn't hear much, but it seemed to be Mr. Jiang from Chaiyuan International who had brought her to the hospital every time.
They got drunk last night, and after having a relationship, Mr. Jiang refused to take responsibility, so Miss Lin slit her wrists. I paused for a moment, and my best friend ran over. Don't listen to their nonsense. People in our hospital just love to gossip. I pursed my lips and smiled indifferently. It's fine.
Even if it's Jiang Mingyue, it doesn't matter. We're already divorced, so I won't care about these things. My best friend still wasn't rest assured about me and insisted on calling Wen Li to the hospital to keep me company. Wen Li watched me closely, hardly letting me out of his sight for a moment. Can you stop looking at me like I'm a criminal?
I was ordered to come here, so I wouldn't dare be careless. I'm not the one with depression. I've already divorced him, so don't worry. I won't go around trying to kill myself. I drove Wen Li off to the company. I took a nap in the afternoon. When I woke up, a familiar face came into view. I propped myself up and sat up on the edge of the bed. Lin Xue had gauze wrapped around her wrist and her face looked extremely haggard. Right off the bat, she told me that she was going to marry Jiang Mingyue. Congratulations. You got what you wanted. She gave a faint, knowing smile and sat down on the sofa opposite me. Her face was haggard, but her mental state was actually quite good. It's just returning what belongs to its rightful owner. Xue Jiuju, you occupied Mingyue Ji for so many years. I really wanted to get back at you, but you're very smart.
You pulled away so quickly and even took half of Mingyue Ji's assets with you. I smiled. You're just as superficial as I thought. Going after Jiang Mingyue's money, I thought you truly loved him, that you simply could not live without him. Lin Xue's expression changed slightly. I naturally love brother Mingyue, and if I love him, I'll love everything about him, including his money. I didn't really want to hear about things between them, so I waved my hand at her impatiently. Lin Xue, if you came to see me today just to say this, then I think you should go back. Don't stay here with me. That's a waste of time. Not only did she not leave, but she sat down instead. I came here today to tell you that. Brother Mingyu is mine. You don't have a chance anymore.
Brother Mingyu owes me something, and he'll never be able to repay it in this lifetime. You must have known long ago that I had recovered from my illness. I was pretending to be sick.
Unfortunately, Brother Mingyu doesn't believe you. Do you know why he doesn't believe you? Because for the rest of his life, he can never forgive himself for the harm he caused me. Jiang Mingyu never told me about Lin Shu's ordeal. I asked, too, but Jiang Mingyu always became so emotionally overwhelmed that he couldn't say anything.
Later, seeing how much pain he was in, I stopped asking, but I never expected things to turn out like this. Back then, Lin Shu was raped by Jiang Mingyu's father. She later became pregnant, had a miscarriage, and could never have children again. For the sake of Jiang Mingyu's future, his mother couldn't send his father to prison, so she had to make Jiang Mingyu marry Lin Shu. Looking back now, these events happened right around the time Jiang Mingyu and I had just started dating. I listened to the last part she said with my eyes wide open. I used to think Lin Shu only knew some petty tricks of coercion and bribery. I never expected that her scheming and tactics had already surpassed what one would expect at her age. She walked up to me again triumphantly. Brother Mingyu drank a lot last night. We were finally together.
Even though he kept calling your name all night, I don't care. One day, he'll slowly get used to you not being by his side, and he'll slowly get used to me.
After Lin Shu left, I put away the recording. I didn't know whether I should let Jiang Mingyu know about this recording, nor did I know if Jiang Mingyu would still believe Lin Shu's words as he always had. It wasn't until 3 days later that Jiang Mingyu came to me, filled with guilt. I've already been discharged from the hospital, and he knows my current address. When he came, he was holding a huge bouquet of roses in the color I like. When he was pursuing me back then, he would send me pink roses every day. The dorm was almost full of them. My roommates were so jealous and kept making sarcastic remarks at me. Later, I lied to him and said I didn't like flowers and told him not to give them to me anymore. He believed me, and from then on, he never gave me any again. Now that he's holding roses and coming to me, he must have remembered our past. Then again, looking at the roses in his hands, I also remembered our past. But now, thinking back, I feel nothing at all. Juju, I'm sorry. What else do you want? Just name it, and I'll fulfill it for you. Is he coming to pity me, burdened with guilt?
Jiang Mingyu, I am not Lin Shu. You don't owe me anything. When we divorced, you gave me everything you should have.
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage to Lin Shu. A flicker of crimson flashed in his eyes. I Juju, I love you. In this life, I truly have only ever loved you. I know you don't believe me, and I'm also not worthy of your trust. Take these. I I'm leaving.
He left me 40% of the shares in Chaoyuan Company under his name. Does that mean he's giving the company to me? I ran after him, but he had already gotten on the elevator. The moment the elevator doors closed, I saw tears in his eyes. At that moment, tears also welled up in my eyes. I had thought there would be no further connection between Jiang Mingyu, Lin Shu, and me.
Until that afternoon, after my best friend and I finished afternoon tea and were just about to leave, I stood up only to have a cup of coffee splashed all over me. Everyone, come take a look at this shameless woman. Her ex-husband is about to marry my daughter and she's clinging to him and won't let go even seducing her ex-husband so that he gave her the whole company. Now my daughter cries herself to sleep every day. What nonsense are you spouting here? Jiang Mingyu's company was personally handed over to Juju by him. When your daughter was seducing someone else's husband, why didn't you speak up then? Now that your daughter, the mistress, is trying to move up and take the wife's place. Jiang Mingyu no money left. So you're taking it out on Juju. Ha, I see you mother and daughter are just asking for a beating.
Yingying picked up the coffee on the table and splashed it right back then grabbed mine and was about to leave. Lin Shu rushed over and fell to her knees in front of me with a thud. Juju, I'm sorry. Please, for the sake of my illness, give the company back to Mingyu brother. Ha, I suddenly found it funny.
Looking again at Lin Shu's pitiful, delicate appearance. Was this really the same scheming Lin Shu I had seen in the hospital? Who was this show of weakness supposed to be for? Soon people around us gathered and started taking photos and talking about it. Sure enough, the video of my confrontation with Lin Shu was quickly uploaded online. The comment section instantly lit up. This ex-wife really is something. After getting divorced, she can still make her ex-husband hand over his own company to her with his own hands. Now his ex-husband's girlfriend is really quite pitiful. I heard she even developed depression because of it. Comma. Yeah, I saw a video from another account about his ex-husband's girlfriend attempting suicide due to depression. I turned off my phone and sat on the sofa when a message popped up on the screen. I don't know how Lin Shu got my number. Shu Juju, this is just an appetizer. If you don't want to be exposed online, then return Mingyu's company shares sooner rather than later. I held my phone and sneered coldly, typing a few words in reply. If you want the company shares, let Jiang Mingyu come and get them himself. She immediately snapped back, full of arrogance, don't get smug for too long. I'll make you hand it over obediently soon enough, Lin Shu. I advise you to stop while you still can, Shu Jujiu, throwing out threats, are you? You can't beat me. Let's wait and see, I sighed deeply in my heart. There were some things I didn't want to take to extremes, but some people just had to challenge my bottom line. I don't know what video Lin Shu posted online to pressure me through public opinion. I have prepared a big gift for her. She and Jiang Mingyu were finally going to hold their wedding. I went there that day, too. The wedding venue was decorated beautifully, just like mine back then, with roses flown in by air and festive balloons. Their wedding photos were enlarged and displayed right at the hotel entrance. Jiang Mingyu should go see an eye doctor. I really didn't know how to respond to Wen Li's sudden comment. He smiled and slightly cupped his hands toward me, and I naturally hooked my arm through his.
Soon, the wedding ceremony began. Jiang Mingyu in a black suit and Lin Shu in a white off-shoulder wedding dress stood out brilliantly in the crowd. Just as the main characters were about to exchange rings, something unexpected happened on the large screen behind them. Lin Shu's clear, melodious voice, tinged with a hint of triumph, echoed in everyone's ears. I don't remember much about what happened back then. What I said earlier was just what brother Mingyu assumed to be true. Actually, back then, his drunk father didn't succeed. I knocked him out and faked the scene of my rape. Just to deal with the child in my belly. I'm going to use this child to force Mingyu Ji to marry me. At this, everyone looked at her in surprise, including Jiang Mingyue. Lin Xuebai shouted with a pale face for someone to turn off the recording, but Jiang Mingyue coldly barked that no one was allowed to.
I didn't want to, either. If people found out I got pregnant, how could I ever marry Mingyue in the future?
Brother, that day, I wanted to drug Mingyue, but he didn't give me the chance. Instead, I ran into his drunken father. I know his mother cares most about face. For Mingyue's future, she would never let him have a father who is a rapist. I took the opportunity to make a condition to his mother. I wanted to marry Brother Mingyue. His mother begged Brother Mingyue to marry me. Mingyue, he just refused, and later I threatened him with my life. After falling into the water, I miscarried and also developed depression. Depression can be cured, but I told myself that I must not get better from this illness. Without it, I would without Brother Mingyue. As long as I have this illness, Brother Mingyue will never abandon me. And you, one day, will leave Mingyue because of me. So, that day at the hospital, I deliberately made up that Brother Mingyue wanted to use a fake divorce to trick you into signing that. One thing I know is that, given your dissatisfaction with me over the past few years, you'll quickly start associating me with Brother Mingyue. It was already unclear long ago. Your fiery temperament would inevitably turn this fake divorce into a real one. Jiang Mingyue stared in disbelief at Lin Xue, whose face was deathly pale. Lin Xue shook her head, panicked and flustered.
It's fake. It's all fake. Someone is trying to frame me. Brother Mingyue, I didn't say those things. You have to believe me. The recording is so clear.
How could it be fake? Lin Xue, I never expected you to be this kind of person.
Exactly. We even felt sorry for you, thought you were wronged and pitiful, but we never expected you to be this bad, this disgusting. I'll post all of this online and stand up for sister Ju Ju. Lin Shu shook her head desperately while crying. No, it's not like that.
Ming Yu Ge, you believe me, right? You can't not believe me. If you you don't believe me, then I can only go die.
Jiang Ming Yu stood still, his face grim, his voice cold to the extreme.
Then go die. Lin Shu widens her bloodshot eyes, tears trembling in her sockets. Even at the last moment, she was still betting with her life. She was seen lifting her skirt and about to crash into the hotel pillar. Her mother rushed forward and grabbed her. Just when she thought it was Jiang Ming Yu who had stopped her, Jiang Ming Yu's mother stood below the stage and shouted, "Let her die." When Li and I walked out of the hotel, we hadn't gone far when we heard someone behind us asking, "Where is Ju Ju? Have you seen Ju Ju? Please, tell me quickly. Where is Ju Ju?" I watched Jiang Ming Yu frantically searching for me everywhere.
Smiled in relief. What happened between Jiang Ming Yu and me may be just as Lin Shu said. She is the biggest crack in my marriage with Jiang Ming Yu, but what I care about is not these cracks. It's Jiang Ming Yu's position in the matters between me and her. It's his attitude toward me as the attitude of a model husband, and he never once stood in the right place for himself.
