Tonight, there was a charity gala.

I’d been bidding for a project, and I heard the client would be there, so I went with my assistant.

Chen Zhinan was there too, with Qiao Lu by his side. She was wearing a mermaid dress, looking stunningly beautiful.

She linked arms with Chen Zhinan. Someone who didn’t know the situation asked him, “Is this your wife?”

Chen Zhinan smiled and didn’t deny it.

Qiao Lu looked at me triumphantly, but I ignored her and started talking business with the client.

It was just a preliminary meeting, but the client was interested in our ideas and had a few more drinks with me.

I’d achieved my goal. But then Qiao Lu walked over to me. She was indeed beautiful—petite and delicate, looking very dependent. She whispered, “Zhinan哥 didn’t deny that I’m his wife just now.”

I said, “So what?”

She sneered, “What Zhinan哥 likes is someone who can care for him and give him warmth—not a cold working machine.”

I laughed. “I can make him successful in his career. Can you do that?”

She laughed as if she’d heard a joke. “Men— the stronger you are, the more inferior they feel. They like women who are weaker than them, so they can feel superior. How about a bet?”

“What bet?”

“Bet who he’ll save?”

Before I could respond, she pushed me into the swimming pool and jumped in after me.

In the end, Chen Zhinan saved Qiao Lu.

I was rescued by a young man.

Qiao Lu looked wronged and said, “I was apologizing to Sister Wanwan, but she doesn’t like me, so she pushed me into the water. I grabbed her, and we both fell in.”

Everyone accused me of being petty. But the young man who saved me said, “Then let’s check the surveillance footage.”

A staff member said, “This is a blind spot of the surveillance camera. We can’t find anything.”

In other words, there was no way to prove Qiao Lu had framed me.

Chen Zhinan pointed at me and said, “Jiang Wan, I never thought you’d be such a vicious woman. I misjudged you.”

I sneered, “Chen Zhinan, I’m your wife! Yet you’re holding someone else and accusing me. What do you mean by that?”

Chen Zhinan said, “Qiao Lu is my sister. Don’t talk nonsense.”

With that, he carried Qiao Lu and left.

The young man who saved me held me in his arms. I said, “Yu Que, let me go. I can walk on my own.”

Yu Que said, “No.”

He carried me to a room, made a phone call, and soon his sister arrived with a change of clothes.

His sister Yu Qingqing was my best friend. She said, “I told you that husband of yours was no good, but you didn’t listen. Now you’ve hit a wall, haven’t you?”

I forced a bitter smile.

“He’s not even as good as my brother.”

After changing clothes, I thanked them and went home.

Because of this incident, my project fell through.

A few days later, Qiao Lu showed up at my door with a swollen belly.

She said, “I’m pregnant. It’s Chen Zhinan’s child.”

I said, “So?”

She said, “If I were you, I’d divorce Chen Zhinan willingly. Otherwise, it’ll be embarrassing for everyone.”

“You’ve been married for five years and still haven’t had a child. How ridiculous.”

“Could it be that you’re infertile?”

I said, “Are you done? If so, please leave.”

A few days later, Chen Zhinan came home—he’d come to ask me to sign the divorce agreement.

He said, “Lulu is pregnant. After all these years, you still haven’t given birth to a child. My mom wants a grandson, so she’s telling me to divorce you.”

I looked at the divorce agreement. He actually wanted half of my property.

I said, “I’ll agree to the divorce, but all the property goes to me. You leave with nothing.”

He gritted his teeth and said, “Fine.”

I said, “This house is yours. You can keep it.”

I signed the papers and completed the divorce procedures.

Before I left, I gave him a gift—his infertility test report.
