After three years of misplaced affection, Mrs. Yu is no longer willing to pretend to be obedient.

"What? You're getting a divorce?... Do your parents know about this?"

"Shh, keep your voice down..." Jian Ailing raised her index finger, signaling the person opposite her to keep their voice down.

The woman sitting opposite her was her college friend and also Yu Yunting's cousin, Zhu Yan. The two were in a small, sparsely populated coffee shop.

"Did you and Zhou Zean offend him last night?" Zhu Yan put down her iced Americano and looked at Jian Ailing, whose complexion was not good, with concern.

Although she wasn't there last night, she knew a little about it. "What should we do, Lingling? Why don't you try talking to your cousin again?"

They've never been the image of a loving couple, so why is Yu Yunting so angry?

"You've got it wrong." Jane Ailing rolled her eyes and looked at the oatmeal latte in front of her.

"It was I who suggested it."

"What?" Zhu Yan, who was drinking coffee, almost choked. "You...you want to divorce him?"

That's her third cousin! The heir to one of the top wealthy families in Longcheng, with top-notch looks and family background.

Even if he could win her heart, becoming her wife would certainly satisfy his vanity to a great extent.

How could someone like that... actually get divorced one day?

"You know very well that I don't get along with him," Jane Ailing said with a wry smile.

As Jian Ailing's closest friend, Zhu Yan naturally had some understanding of their married life and knew how they got together.

Like drinking water, only the person drinking it knows whether it's hot or cold. Only the people in front of her know whether being Mrs. Yu, whom everyone envies, is truly easy or not.

"I understand... I just didn't expect you to be so brave."

Zhu Yan witnessed firsthand how unhappy her marriage was and how much her good friend suffered.

She nodded emphatically to Jane Ailing, "I think you've been thinking about this decision for a long time, and I definitely support you!"

"Thank you." Jane Ailing smiled and looked finally a little happier.

In this marriage filled with compromises and calculations, only Zhu Yan and Zhou Ze'an truly cared about her well-being. Receiving support from her friends at this time was an encouragement to her.

"What did my cousin say... he agreed too?"

"No." Jane Ailing stirred the ice in her coffee with a straw, and couldn't help but sigh. "He doesn't agree."

"Oh?" Zhu Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Did he say why? Could it be that he's developed feelings for you and doesn't want you to leave?"

"That's impossible, you're overthinking it." Jane Ailing immediately waved her hand.

"He's always looked down on me, and he probably got angry that someone like me dared to bring up divorce." She said with some helplessness, "But I think he'll come to his senses later."

"Okay." Zhu Yan shrugged. "Have you hired a lawyer? If your cousin wants to drag this out, it'll probably take at least a year and a half to get to the bottom of things. The division of assets alone will take a long time, right?"

"Lingling, if you really succeed in getting a divorce, will you become a rich woman overnight?" Thinking of this, Zhu Yan's eyes lit up, and she began to imagine the scene of her friend becoming rich overnight.

"No need to make it so complicated, I'll just leave with nothing." Jian Ailing shook her head. "He has already helped Chaoyuan Group more than enough."

This marriage has already brought enough financing to the Chaoyuan Group, and she has no right or standing to ask for more. Besides, she's the one begging Yu Yunting to agree. She just wants to end this as soon as possible and doesn't want to drag it out any longer.

"Hmm... okay." Zhu Yan shrugged regretfully. "Do your family know about this?"

"I don't plan to tell them yet," Jane Ailing replied somewhat vaguely, turning her eyes to the window.

It's obvious what their attitude is.

They would do more than just oppose her; they'd probably want to tear her to pieces.

"Let's talk about it after things have settled down."

Jane Ailing knew very well that as long as Yu Yunting nodded, no matter how much her parents objected, it wouldn't matter.

As long as they don't know that she was the one who suggested it, that's fine.

"The most important thing now is to get Yu Yunting to agree first; everything else is secondary." Jian Ailing rested her chin on her hand, squinted her eyes, and thought carefully.

She didn't want to just sit and wait to die; she had to take the initiative and do something.

Yu Yunting is meticulous in his work, a fact that Jian Ailing has heard of. It's estimated that finding fault with him at work would be virtually impossible.

What about lifestyle?

"Yan Yan, do you think it's possible for me to hire a private investigator to take photos of Yu Yunting cheating on me?"

"Cheating? Are you serious?" Zhu Yan swallowed hard, as if she had heard something incredible.

Recalling her third cousin's noble, dignified, aloof, and ascetic appearance, Zhu Yan had only heard rumors that he was not interested in women.

"If I can find something to hold against him, then he'll be the one at fault in the marriage. Would that make me agree to a divorce?" Jane looked at her friend earnestly.

"That's true, but do you really think you can find something to use against him?" Zhu Yan expressed doubt. "Do you think... he would do such a thing?"

"Of course I can." Jian Ailing hesitated for a moment, then took out her phone and handed it to Zhu Yan.

"This... is the trigger that made me want a divorce."

Zhu Yan took the phone in a daze. It showed a photo of Yu Yunting with another woman.
