Mr. Shen, your love-struck wife doesn't want you anymore!

Although the new house wasn't very big, Jiang Yu still cleaned it from top to bottom.

Three hours later, she collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted, and fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up at 2 a.m. because I was hungry.

Jiang Yu didn't want to move, but she was hungry. Her mind was in turmoil, debating whether to order takeout or wait it out, when she fell asleep again.

The next day, when Zhong Shuangshuang came over and saw Jiang Yu looking dejected and listless, she was shocked: "My God, you look ten years older all of a sudden! You look so ugly!"

Jiang Yu: "..."

Thank you.

Zhong Shuang was carrying large and small bags, all filled with food and drinks.

She walked around the studio apartment and exclaimed sincerely, "It's so small! The living room isn't much bigger than the bathroom in your villa."

As Jiang Yu ate the food she had brought, she said, "That villa isn't mine."

Zhong Shuang's eyes darted around, full of gossip: "We're not sisters, you're really getting a divorce?"

"We've already found a lawyer, what do you say?"

"Would you be willing to give up your former life as a wealthy woman?"

"I can't bear to part with it. Go and get all of Shen Chengyan's money for me."

Zhong Shuangshuang: "..."

How could a perfectly healthy person suddenly go insane?

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

"I'm starving. That bastard deliberately picked a fight with me when I was making sandwiches, so I didn't get to eat a single bite."

"..."

Unable to vent her resentment, Jiang Yu could only pour out her grievances to her best friend.

"I sold those old clothes and that beat-up car, why is he so angry?"

"He also said that the money from the sale was joint property, and he had the right to know."

"Then the money he earns is also joint property, why doesn't he give me half!"

"He says I didn't refuse to let Shen Mo recognize Hu Youyue as his godmother. Why doesn't he use his brain? Could I refuse?"

"His mother is stubborn and he doesn't side with me, so how can I say no?"

"I'm not valued in the Shen family. If I can't even be magnanimous, how can I establish myself?"

"He said I was putting on an act in front of him every day, that I was so amazing, and that I'd been doing it for five years straight. Why doesn't he give me an Oscar?!"

"You say I'd do anything for money? Then why don't I stay in this marriage for the money's sake?!"

Zhong Shuangshuang was tired of hearing her complaints, so she picked up a grape and popped it into her mouth: "If I were you, I definitely wouldn't leave."

"You're just going to throw away your young, handsome, rich husband who's chaste and doesn't cheat on you? You're being foolish."

Jiang Yu sneered: "How do you know he doesn't mess around outside?"

"That's what my husband Lao Xu said. He said if he had a daughter, he'd pay a dowry to win over Mr. Shen."

"..."

Chung Shuangshuang's father's husband is also in business. These business people are in the same circle, and everyone knows what kind of character these young talents have.

Shen Chengyan has a well-regarded reputation in the industry.

If he hadn't married young, everyone would have wanted to marry him.

Jiang Yu snorted through her nose: "He doesn't mess around outside, he messes around at home."

"You mean that fox spirit?" Zhong Shuangshuang pouted. "Only you can get this angry with her. If I were her, knowing you were getting a divorce, I'd be laughing my head off at home, hahaha."

"Stop talking. Just thinking about her grinning from ear to ear at home is making me angry."

Zhong Shuangshuang was overjoyed: "Then why don't you get a divorce!"

"I can't bear to watch them go without leaving."

"You should learn from me. Forget about flirting, I wouldn't mind even witnessing them hugging and kissing, as long as the money is right."

Jiang Yu immediately lost her appetite: "Can't you have any requests?"

"Oh my god!" Zhong Shuangshuang was shocked. "Sister, are you really that innocent?"

Jiang Yu: "..."

"These days, the worst people are those who don't care about money," Zhong Shuangshuang said earnestly. "Don't be after his love, just his money, and you'll live a much easier life."

Jiang Yu was stunned.

After a long pause, she finally managed to say, "I didn't want his love."

She had never seen love, such an ethereal and intangible thing, in her entire life.

Zhong Shuangshuang smiled enigmatically: "If you're not after money, and you're not after love, then what are you after?"

Jiang Yu was speechless.

Zhong Shuangshuang snorted: "Everyone laughs at me for marrying an old man, and says I'm only after Lao Xu's money. What a joke! Lao Xu is after my youth and beauty too. It's a marriage of convenience, what's with all this talk of pure love?"

Jiang Yu lowered her eyelashes and thought.

What about Shen Chengyan?

What are you plotting against her for?

Seeing her confusion, Zhong Shuangshuang decided to act as a mentor: "If your husband didn't have a lot of money to begin with, but only a lot of love, would you still marry him?"

Jiang Yu tried to argue, "I've already said I'm not after money."

Zhong Shuangshuang was convinced: "You're really stubborn."

Jiang Yu: "..."

Zhong Shuangshuang then asked, "And what if he didn't have a lot of money, but only a lot of love? Would you still divorce him?"

Jiang Yu's mind went blank for a moment: "Wait, are you still the same big-breasted, brainless, fake best friend I know?"

Zhong Shuangshuang glanced at her: "I knew you were jealous of my big breasts."

"..."

The two chatted and joked for a long time, and Jiang Yu's mood improved a lot.

After Zhong Shuangshuang left, Jiang Yu had eaten and drunk her fill. With nothing to do, she continued to lie down.

A funny variety show was playing on TV, but my mind kept going back to the two questions Zhong Shuangshuang had asked.

She thought about it carefully and seriously for a long time, and the answer she came up with shocked her.

Because the answer to the same question is the same.

She was lost.

Was she too greedy?

People only fall into endless suffering when their desires are not satisfied.

If her mindset were the same as before she got married, would she not care so much?

Perhaps Zhong Shuangshuang is the most clear-headed.

Making money is easy, but finding love is difficult.

Shen Chengyan can give her a lot of money, but he won't give her much love.

Because he simply didn't like her.

I was able to get married to him so smoothly back then.

It's because she's pregnant.

The day after they had sex, he took out a ring and told her he would take responsibility, but he never proposed to her.

For the two months after receiving the ring, Jiang Yu was filled with both anxiety and anticipation.

She even dreams about how he will propose and how he will give her a grand wedding.

However, none of these apply.

Even the night before she found out she was pregnant, she subtly suggested that he could choose an auspicious day, but he pretended not to understand.

Shen Chengyan came home very late that night, and he had drunk a lot of alcohol.

Since Jiang Yu and he had a relationship, they have been living together, and she moved into his apartment.

He is usually very busy with work and social engagements, but he has never gotten that drunk before.

That night he drank a lot of alcohol and got so drunk that he kept entering the wrong password. He lost patience and started knocking on the door.

Jiang Yu didn't recognize him at first. The loud knocking startled her, so she went to the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and called Shen Chengyan while keeping an eye on the door.

She only lowered her guard and cautiously looked through the peephole when she heard her phone ringing outside the door.

She opened the door, and the drunk man collapsed onto her.

He was so tall, like a mountain pressing down on him, how could Jiang Yu withstand it?

She used all her strength to help him to the living room, hoping he would lie down on the sofa, but he refused to sit there. Instead, he stubbornly held her, burying his face in her neck, his breath, heavy with the smell of alcohol, wafting onto her skin.

He muttered under his breath, complaining about why it took her so long to open the door; his hands were sore from knocking.

He usually presented himself as a composed and mature elite in front of her, so it was quite a novel experience for Jiang Yu to suddenly reveal such a childish and unreasonable side of him.

She stood with her legs apart, supporting his tall frame, and hugged his waist, trying to keep them both balanced: "You only hurt your hand from hitting, I was almost scared to death, I thought debt collectors had come to collect, I even took out a knife, don't scare me like that next time."

He laughed at her for being timid.

Jiang Yu snorted unhappily: "If you grew up in a fearful environment, you would also be timid."

He suddenly stopped talking, and his unsteady steps came to a halt.
