Shen Feiwan had prepared the divorce agreement in advance.
The news that Bai Zhi would be returning to the country had been circulating for a few months now.
During this time, she had sought advice from a lawyer and drafted an agreement that she believed was both fair and impartial, which she left on the living room coffee table before going out last night.
"You're really bold," Fu Shiyan scoffed.
"I didn't claim any of the property we had before marriage. What I'm asking for is the entire marital shared property for the three years of our marriage. Now that we're divorcing, it's only fair to split it equally," Shen Feiwan reasoned confidently, believing that Fu Shiyan was unhappy with the property distribution.
"Shen Feiwan, did you try to investigate my assets in secret? Can you clearly distinguish between pre-marital and post-marital property? What, did you plan to divorce me the moment we got married?"
Shen Feiwan did not deny it.
Neither of them were satisfied with their marriage from the start, wasn't their divorce just a matter of time?
She was just preparing ahead.
"Don't even think about it," Fu Shiyan rejected the notion without needing to listen to more of Shen Feiwan's bullshit.
"Then how do you propose we divide things?" Shen Feiwan counter-offered.
She was also prepared to bargain with Fu Shiyan.
"You're not getting a single penny!" Fu Shiyan shot back.
Shen Feiwan was furious.
"I'm not planning on getting a divorce," Fu Shiyan stated.
"You..."
"You don't have the right to propose a divorce."
"I..."
"And one more thing," Fu Shiyan didn't give Shen Feiwan a chance to speak, "I don't want to see that reason for divorce ever again."
After he finished, he tossed the divorce agreement onto the table in front of Shen Feiwan.
Then he turned around and left in large strides.
Shen Feiwan angrily grabbed the agreement she had been working on for several months, and her eyes fell upon the bolded line stating the reason for divorce: irreconcilable differences in their marital relationship.
She wasn't lying.
Once a month, every time it felt as if she was just mating with an animal.
It was an act of kindness on her part not to accuse him of sexual violence.
Shen Feiwan got up from the bed.
She had drunk heavily last night and she was still feeling the brunt of it.
But now that her divorce was imminent, she needed to look out for herself.
After all, she had been a full-time housewife since marrying Fu Shiyan.
It wasn't that she didn't want to work, but the Fu family would not allow it.
The reason being that the young mistress of the Fu family was not supposed to work.
Shen Feiwan found the reason amusing. Who, apart from a few people, knew that she was Fu Shiyan's wife?
When they occasionally ran into each other outside, they had to pretend not to know each other.
Despite being his legitimate wife, her life felt like that of a mistress.
After washing up and leaving her room, she picked up the car keys from the hall.
Her eyes suddenly paused, "Mrs. Wu, where are the car keys?"
"The young master had me put them away," Mrs. Wu responded indifferently.
Mrs. Wu was the one who had raised Fu Shiyan. Following their marriage, she had moved back with Fu Shiyan to take care of him at the Fu Mansion. Since Shen Feiwan and Fu Shiyan's relationship was rather strained, Mrs. Wu's attitude towards Shen Feiwan was always cold.
"The young master says if the young mistress indeed wishes to divorce him, then she should not be using the young master's stuff."
Damn it, that bastard.
"To think that the young mistress doesn't know how blessed she is. With a man as privileged as our young master, you'll never find another in this, or perhaps in eight lifetimes. You'll regret this for the rest of your life," Mrs. Wu taunted.
Shen Feiwan generally did not want to fuss with Mrs. Wu considering her age, but some people just enjoyed being disrespectful and pushing boundaries.
"Mrs. Wu, you've been single and childless for all these years. Have you taken a liking to Fu Shiyan?"
"What...What nonsense are you talking, I...I see the young master as my kin, how dare you slander me like this..." Mrs. Wu reacted vehemently.
"Mind your status, your relationship with Fu Shiyan is that of an employer-employee. What gives you the right to talk about kinship? What, you wish to be a sister-in-law to Mrs. Fu?"
It was well known that Mrs. Fu was strict about social hierarchy.
With Shen Feiwan's biting words, Mrs. Wu could only be silent in her raging anger.
"Stop pretending to be important with nothing," Shen Feiwan snapped, and stormed out.
As she was leaving, she called Lin Nuannuan to come pick her up.
Lin Nuannuan was reliable and quickly arrived in her car.
No sooner did Shen Feiwan get in the car than she heard Lin Nuannuan exclaim, "Fu Shiyan is a bastard. Is he out of his mind or blind? How could Bai Zhi be any better than you? Sure, she might resemble you a bit, but wouldn't it be clear as day who the original and who the fake is? Besides, Bai Zhi is a low-end copy at that!"
"And now he wants to divorce you for Bai Zhi?" Lin Nuannuan was growing increasingly exasperated.
"He doesn't want to."
"What?!" Lin Nuannuan turned to gaze at her in surprise.
"I proposed the divorce, he didn't agree." Shen Feiwan stated the facts.
"Why didn't he agree?!" Lin Nuannuan, now puzzling over this, asked, "Won't this mean he can openly be with his first love?!"
"His male ego won't allow it."
That was the only reason Shen Feiwan could think of.
How on earth could a man as arrogant and aloof as Fu Shiyan tolerate being dumped by a woman over and over again?
Yeah, right.
Initially, it was Bai Zhi who dumped him.
Everyone in Rong City knew that Bai Zhi broke up with Fu Shiyan to train abroad.
If Fu Shiyan hadn't drowned his sorrows in alcohol at a nightclub that night, she wouldn't have bumped into him and ended up sleeping with him out of chaos!
She deeply regretted her actions.
"Damn man." Lin Nuannuan cursed again, "So what now? You continue to live with him? Will you allow him to keep making a fool of you?"
"I'll move out first."
"Where will you go?" Lin Nuannuan asked, "Do you have a house?"
"Can't I buy one?" Shen Feiwan retorted.
"That's true, it's a waste not to spend his money while you still can."
Shen Feiwan was thinking the same.
If she couldn't secure a share of the property, she had to at least prepare a backup plan for herself.
"Would you accompany me to a place?" Shen Feiwan directed Lin Nuannuan to drive.
When they arrived at the destination.
Lin Nuannuan looked around, "What place is this?"
"The place where I'm going to work."
"You're going to start your own business?"
"Yes." Shen Feiwan nodded.
"Woman, you're impressive!" Lin Nuannuan admired.
They walked into the towering building.
The entire floor was bought by Shen Feiwan. She had planned everything from the moment she learned that Bai Zhi was returning to the country.
"What are you planning to do?" Lin Nuannuan asked, looking at the nearly 1000-square-meter space.
"Become a streamer."
Lin Nuannuan was stunned, "You want to become a web celebrity?"
"Can you think on a broader scale?"
"So?"
"I will be the boss."
"Oh, that makes sense. Of course, with all that money Fu has, starting a business is a breeze."
As they were conversing.
A group of muscular men entered from outside the door.
Their bulging muscles seemed about to burst through their shirts.
Lin Nuannuan's eyes were fixed on them.
"Who are they?"
"The male models I found at the banquet last night, they're here to perk up the atmosphere in the livestream room."
Sister, is this employment selection or a pageant contest?!
All she wanted to do then was to spam the 666 emoji.
