Get divorced!
"Chu Zhixin, let's get a divorce!"
Sheng Tingye's voice came from behind when Chu Zhixin was frying a steak.
The 'sizzling' hot oil splashed on her cheek, but she didn't even feel the pain.
"Between you and me, there is only the name of husband and wife, but no conjugal affection. Now that the four-year period has expired, it's time to end it."
The man's voice was cold and distant, naturally carrying an aura of detachment.
Chu Zhixin bit her lip.
This day had finally come...
Four years ago, the Chu family went bankrupt. Unable to bear the burden, Chu's father and mother jumped off a building, leaving a mess for Chu Zhixin to handle alone.
Chu Zhixin's grandfather and Sheng Tingye's grandfather were comrades-in-arms who had fought together. Chu's grandfather once saved Sheng's grandfather on the battlefield.
On his deathbed, Chu's grandfather was most worried about his little granddaughter and entrusted her to Sheng's grandfather.
Thus, this unworthy marriage was arranged.
However, sometime unknown, she had crossed the line in this contractual marriage, giving her heart completely.
She thought that there was still plenty of time, and as long as she played the role of a 'wife' well, one day, she would win his true heart.
But instead, she got a divorce!
"I will give you four hundred million yuan plus a penthouse apartment in Changtan District as compensation. Here is the divorce agreement. Sign it if you have no objections."
Sheng Tingye handed a stack of documents to Chu Zhixin with a poker face, his brow cold as if he was negotiating a business deal.
Chu Zhixin took the agreement and looked at the series of numbers.
Four years, four hundred million.
The Sheng family was still as wealthy and arrogant as ever.
"Is a divorce absolutely necessary?"
Chu Zhixin closed the agreement and looked up at the man in front of her.
This man, whom she had loved for four years, had an exceptionally handsome face and an upright posture. He was always so serious and restrained, like a flower on a high mountain, unreachable.
"Absolutely necessary."
Sheng Tingye's cold voice had no hesitation.
Her heart ached slightly.
But Chu Zhixin was never the type to linger or be indecisive.
Since she had blindly pursued this and bumped her head against a brick wall, bleeding and in pain, it was time to turn back.
Alright, four years of marriage in exchange for four hundred million yuan was worth it, anyway!
"Okay, I agree."
She took a pen and neatly signed her name on the agreement.
Sheng Tingye was somewhat surprised.
In his memory, this woman had always been weak and indecisive, like a little rabbit without any survival skills.
But now, she seemed very decisive.
Somehow, he felt uneasy.
"I'll notify you of the registration time. If possible, you should move out tonight."
Ignoring the discomfort in his heart, Sheng Tingye said coldly and turned to leave the villa.
It was obvious that regarding the divorce, he was not coming to discuss with Chu Zhixin, but only to inform her.
That night, the servants who had never given Chu Zhixin a good face knew that she was forced into a divorce and became even more arrogant.
They directly threw her luggage out of the villa.
"You woman, after sucking the Sheng family's blood for four years, you've finally been kicked out. You deserve it!"
On a cold night, Chu Zhixin crouched on the ground to pick up her scattered clothes, looking extremely embarrassed.
At this moment, the sound of a car stopping came from behind, and a tall woman got out.
"Miss Lin, you're finally here. Did you have a tough trip?"
The servant who had shouted at Chu Zhixin earlier was now eagerly helping the woman carry her luggage.
Lin Yirou lifted her chin and didn't even look at the servant. "Be careful, my things are very expensive. You can't afford to break them."
Chu Zhixin stiffened beside her and instantly understood everything.
