Qin Zhuzhu glanced at her watch; it was evening. She had been anxiously checking her watch as if something important was coming.
She was in a taxi, heading towards her house which she shared with her husband, Xu Meng. Today was their anniversary. Every anniversary, she would bake a cake and prepare for a small celebration for her husband.
She opened the door and saw how messy the house was. The cushions on the couch were thrown to the floor and the newspapers were scattered everywhere. She was shocked; Xu Meng was a neat person. He wouldn't throw things about even if he had a tantrum.
She looked in all the other rooms but couldn't find her husband. Finally she threw her handbag onto the couch and went upstairs where she saw a closed door. It wasn't locked so she turned the knob and pushed open the door.
She found her husband Xu Meng sitting on the bed, alone. She had expected him to be in the arms of another woman whom she had seen him with. They looked intimate. Her fears of him cheating on her were over. She sighed in relief. She walked over to him.
"What's wrong?" She asked in a gentle tone.
He looked up and suddenly snapped at her, "What's wrong? You are what's wrong!" He stood up. She was taken aback. What?
Before she could do anything, he continued with his raging, "You're nothing but a jinx. I've been married to you for five years and all you can give me is just your fake concern! I feel like I'm working my ass off!" He thundered at her.
Qin Zhuzhu blinked her eyes, recovering from her shock.
"What are you talking about, Xu Meng? I don't understand," she was confused.
"Qin Zhuzhu, last time I only married you was because of my grandfather's words. But now he's sick, I don't have to listen to his orders anymore. The marriage between our two families was only for mutual benefits. Now it's over. I already have someone I love," Xu Meng said coldly.
Those cold words stabbed her heart, leaving a sharp scalding pain in her chest.
"Xu Meng, what are you saying? I married you not for your wealth, I have liked you since high school, it was not because I was listening to my family and your grandfather's arrangements. Let me explain-"
"No need!" He interrupted her ruthlessly.
Suddenly something flashed in Zhuzhu's mind. A few days ago, she saw Xu Meng with another woman. They seemed close and intimate. Qin Zhuzhu approached her husband and asked who that woman was. Xu Meng told her that she was his client and scolded her not to bother him. He even berated her and called her a jealous controlling-husband wife.
Could that woman be the one who he was having an affair with? So he cheated on her while they were still husband and wife. Qin Zhuzhu felt anger burning through her veins.
"I married you because you were the Heiress to the Qin Group. But your family has gone bankrupt and you're useless as a piece of shit to me," his cruel words stabbed her heart.
"You don't need to hang around me anymore and I don't need to be graced by your worthless presence. We are not compatible. Bai Qianhua is a thousand times better than you!" He continued to scold her.
Tears welled up from Qin Zhuzhu's eyes as she listened to his heartless words. He was the reason her family went bankrupt! She spent thousands and millions to get Xu Meng out of a lawsuit that could damage his name and company's reputation.
She looked up at him, tears threatening to fall but she forced herself not to cry in front of her scumbag husband. All these years, he had treated her badly. Never once had he given her anything on her birthday or stayed with her for an hour. If he did, it was only to show his grandfather that he was having a good relationship with her.
This kind of man wasn't worth her time and youth! Qin Zhuzhu clenched her fists and straightened her back. Him seeing her crying over him will just make him happy.
"You're right. We are not compatible. Bring out the divorce papers," she spoke out loud.
Xu Meng was shocked with her sudden change. Earlier, she acted like she couldn't leave him. Now she was willing to divorce him? He scoffed, thinking that this poor heiress probably just wanted to take his money and properties as a compensation for marrying her for many years.
"Fine. Let's get this done quickly," he scowled and took out a few documents from his drawer. It seems like he had already prepared the papers a long time ago. Then he threw the divorce papers at her face. He felt sick just by looking at her pitiful face.
Qin Zhuzhu took a deep breath and picked up the papers. She took out a pen.
"I'll sign it. You don't have to give me any compensation. I only married you because of grandpa. I never said I had feelings for you or anything, Xu Meng. So don't overthink," she said coldly. Xu Meng was surprised at her sudden icy attitude but he thought that she was playing hard to get.
After she signed, Xu Meng signed his name. He watched her expression but she had become cold and aloof.
Why should she waste time on her useless husband? Xu Meng was a billionaire yet he never spent a single cent on her. It was she who spent millions on him to save his life yet he repaid her with ungratefulness. That day, he begged her and only treated her nicely because of her money.. She was the key to saving his reputation and business. But once everything was good, he ignored her and treated her like trash. Even the servants and maids treated her the same way their master did. The least he could do was to stay faithful to her or send her some gifts so that she won't feel lonely.
Instead, Xu Meng spent his money on some other woman. Zhuzhu realized that he had never loved her. It was only because she was rich and had a good reputation that he married her.
"From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. I hope you won't interfere with my life from now on. Let's get the divorce certificate today!" Qin Zhuzhu announced.
