Chapter 3: Learning the truth

Lu Junxuan held onto the divorce agreement as if he had just received a fortune. He announced coldly, “It is stated in the agreement that you will clean out the house. Move out tomorrow. Except for your personal belongings, nothing else can be taken away.”

Cheng Liyue's tears flowed down her cheeks, her whole body was frozen stiff.

That night, she packed up her things and moved out of her matrimonial home. She checked into a hotel and contacted her aunt who was living in R country who advised Liyue to stay with her.

Cheng Liyue was weary of the people and the matters here. However, she just came to the realization that her pa.s.sport was at the Lu residence.

She had no choice but to catch a cab back to the Lu residence.

As she rounded the garden, she heard somebody chatting in the grove. By the sound of it, it was her mother-in-law, Chen Xia, laughing gaily with another. “Are you satisfied now? My Junxuan is finally single, you needn't feel wronged any longer.”

Cheng Liyue's heart skipped a beat. She approached the thicket and saw that there was a lady opposite her mother-in-law. It was Shen Junyao. She was shyly nodding her head seemingly appeased. “En, aunt, my father has agreed to become a shareholder of the Lu group.”

“That's great. With your father joining, it will be like adding wings to a tiger[1] for our Junxuan, and you will be my favorite daughter-in-law.”

“Thank you for your help, aunt.”

“Still calling me aunt?”

“Mother…” Shen Junyao sweetly uttered.

“Ai! That's my good daughter-in-law. I'm very fond of you.”

Cheng Liyue's face instantly turned white as a sheet of paper. It seemed like her heart had been severely stabbed with a knife. She exploded in rage.

Everything made sense now. She had been brought to the cafe by Shen Junyao! With only two gla.s.ses of drink, she then became muddle-headed. After she had woken up, it was already morning at that hotel.

All of this… was a calculated scheme by Shen Junyao and her mother-in-law to push for a divorce between her and Lu Junxuan.
