1260 I Want to Make You Stay 138 (1/2)

Wen Lele stared at him hopelessly and asked, ”Are you compensating me on behalf of your daughter?”

”What… what are you saying?”

”I've already found out about everything. Bao'er was the one who had set me on fire. That's why you returned her to her mother. You're intimidated by her too, aren't you?” she said while observing Shi Shaochuan's facial expressions, which had given it all away.

”Bao'er has nothing to do with this…”

Wen Lele interrupted, ”Shi Shaochuan… the truth is as clear as day and yet you're still denying it. Is there a point in that?”

Shi Shaochuan took out a pen from his pocket and said, ”Sign your name here.”

Wen Lele knew that she was in no place to go toe to toe against him, especially since she was in such a state. ”Give me the money first.”

Shi Shaochuan answered, ”I've already transferred it to you just now. You should be receiving the notification very soon.”

Just as they were speaking, Wen Lele received a message on her mobile phone.

She opened it to see that it was a notification from the bank to inform her that she had received a sum of five million dollars.

”Can you sign it now?” he asked.

”I didn't expect you to be so pragmatic. I must have been blind to have married you. The decision to marry you was what ruined my life.”

”Aren't you mercenary yourself? Didn't you marry me because of my wealth? Don't try to deny it. You know clearly whether or not I'm stating facts.”

Wen Lele sneered, ”I'm not trying to deny it. If not for your wealth, why would I have married a divorcee like you who has a child?”

”Since we've decided to be honest with each other, there's nothing to say between us anymore. I married you for superficial reasons as well. I found you beautiful and I just wanted you to bear a child for me. But look what you've become. Frankly speaking, I don't even feel like touching you. I can't even bring myself to look at you. Why would I live with you? I've already given you the money, now sign the document.”

He stuffed the pen into Wen Lele's hand.

Wen Lele burst into tears while signing her name on the divorce papers.

Shi Shaochuan grabbed the signed document and said, ”I'll call your parents later and tell them to bring you home.”

Physically and mentally exhausted, Wen Lele laughed sarcastically and gibed, ”No wonder both your former wives decided to divorce you. Most women in this world often have the misconception that they possess the potential to make a scumbag change his ways. They always think that they'll be the last woman in his life. But in reality, scumbags will always be scumbags, no matter how hard they try and conceal their flaws with a prim and proper attire. However, I understood this too late. Way too late…”

”If I were a scumbag, I wouldn't even have given you five million dollars!”

”Shi Shaochuan, do you think you can overwrite the fact that you're a scum just because you gave me money? Get out. I'd like to be alone for a while,” she said, not wanting to say anything further.

In the end, Shi Shaochuan said, ”I'll call your parents now to tell them to pick you up.”

Wen Lele remained silent, as if she did not hear him at all.

She lay down and stared blankly into a corner, almost boring a hole through the wall.

She detested the person who had ruined her life!
