After seeing the true nature of the woman he had been pursuing, the CEO's wife cried and begged

Chapter One: Divorce

On television, the bell of the Jinghai Stock Exchange rang.

A strange bittersweet feeling welled up in Xu Zirui's heart.

On screen, Jiang Xin has fair skin, wears a well-tailored Chanel-style suit, and exudes an elegant aura.

Reporters in the audience seized the opportunity and rushed to ask her questions.

"Ms. Jiang Xin, we heard that you were paralyzed for a period of time due to an injury. Could you tell us how you overcame that difficult period?"

"Rumor has it that your husband is a famous hospital specialist. Did you two get together during your treatment?"

"Ms. Jiang Xin, why didn't you bring your husband today?"

On the television, Jiang Xin smiled radiantly and only answered the last question.

“He has his job, and I have my career, so I only brought a good friend with me today, but I think he will be happy for me.”

Reporters offered their congratulations, but only Xu Zirui noticed that the man standing behind his wife was staring intently at Jiang Xin's back.

He is Meng Chengze, the white moonlight buried deep in Jiang Xin's heart.

Four years after their marriage, Xu Zirui became the attending physician and performed surgery on Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin's surgery was very successful, but before he could even rejoice, he heard Jiang Xin, who was under general anesthesia, calling out Meng Chengze's name again and again in a half-awake state.

His heart had long been shattered into pieces.

In Jiang Xin's eyes, their marriage agreement was nothing more than a contract.

So she had already made her ugly point clear beforehand.

"We only have a contractual relationship."

"The term is only eight years, but if Meng Chengze comes back, we will immediately terminate it and get a divorce!"

After so many years of marriage, there has been no news of Meng Chengze whatsoever.

Gradually, under Xu Zirui's doting and tireless care, Jiang Xin's emotions stabilized, and the treatment became effective.

She really got back on her feet!

After recovering, Jiang Xin immediately threw herself into work and quickly took over the company.

Just when he thought everything was finally going in a good direction, Meng Chengze, who had disappeared, suddenly returned.

Jiang Xin, who was initially sulking, believed everything he said just because he said "I had no choice".

He said that he was taken abroad by his family and kept under surveillance, which is why he was unable to come and take care of her.

At this point, the love she had kept hidden in her heart was finally released from its cage...

In fact, Xu Zirui had already taken leave from the hospital and planned to accompany Jiang Xin to the stock exchange to ring the bell today.

But after she returned from her conversation with Meng Chengze, she became a completely different person, treating him with extreme coldness.

“Cheng Ze has returned to China. I promised him that if the company goes public, I would ring the bell with him… so you don’t need to go.”

Seeing his wife's troubled expression, he felt a dull pain in his chest, but he pretended to be nonchalant.

"I'm fine with anything. There's surgery scheduled at the hospital, so I won't join in."

Jiang Xin breathed a sigh of relief and left home early this morning.

But when Xu Zirui actually saw her standing with Meng Chengze on TV, her fingers still dug tightly into her palm.

After an unknown amount of time, as dusk approached outside, a sound finally came from the door lock.

Xu Zirui slowly got up and walked towards the door.

"came back?"

Jiang Xin put down the car keys and gave a soft "hmm" as a response.

"Please sit on the sofa and wait for me a moment. I need to talk to you about something."

A short while later, Jiang Xin came over with a document and handed it to him.

When Xu Zirui saw the words "Divorce Agreement" in large characters on the document, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was completely shattered.

In an instant, his whole body stiffened, and his heart felt as if it were being stabbed with needles.

Seven years ago, Jiang Xin was the school beauty, adored by everyone, and the rightful heir of the Jiang family.

She and Meng Chengze fell in love freely; they were a perfect match.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xin was later involved in a car accident.

Xu Zirui happened to be passing by, but by the time he could take her to the hospital, it was already too late.

Because the best time for treatment was missed, the blood clot in her brain compressed her nerves, resulting in paralysis of her lower body.

Overnight, the once-proud and beautiful girl became a cripple.

Those suitors who used to regard her as an unattainable ideal and dared not approach her have become bolder. Even her family driver prepared a large bouquet of roses in a vain attempt to pursue her.

But the last straw that broke her came when her boyfriend of many years, Meng Chengze, suddenly went abroad and disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Xin became increasingly depressed, and her emotions became unpredictable and volatile.

To save face for the Jiang family, they opted for a contract marriage instead of finding a partner.

Xu Zirui's father was seriously ill and needed money for treatment, so he naturally became the easiest marriage partner to win over.

"divorce?"

A resolute look appeared on Jiang Xin's beautiful face.

"Xu Zirui, I won't beat around the bush. Over the years, if it weren't for you, I probably would have become a cripple long ago. I'm really sorry..."

"After the divorce, I will give you everything you are entitled to. In addition, I will give you another 30 million as compensation."

Jiang Xin felt guilty.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.

Over the years, Xu Zirui has been gentle and considerate to her, and has tried his best to treat her legs. She has seen all his kindness and care.

Gradually, she stopped resisting as much as she had at the beginning.

Sometimes I even feel that it would be nice to continue walking with him like this.

But the moment Meng Chengze returned, she realized that gratitude and love are not the same thing!

The person she has always loved is Meng Chengze!

After a long silence, Xu Zirui spoke calmly, "Alright, the agreement was originally only for eight years, and it's about to expire."

There was no argument or hysteria as I had imagined.

Xu Zirui readily agreed and even signed his name at the end of the document.

Finally, he looked up at her and asked, "When are we going to get a divorce?"

Jiang Xin stood there, seemingly not having reacted.

Xu Zirui's reaction was too calm, as if they weren't signing divorce papers.

Shouldn't he be angry, furious, or even jump up and accuse her of being ungrateful?

Xu Zirui handed back the signed contract, as if chatting casually: "I saw the news today. You and him are a perfect match."

Jiang Xin snapped back to reality, feeling something stuck in her throat. "I..."

After a long pause, Jiang Xin finally managed to squeeze out, "I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize. Our relationship is a contractual marriage, and my liking you is my own business."

"Moreover, you cured my father when I was in my most difficult time. Now that the company is listed, I don't have to worry about being embroiled in scandals. So, now is the best time."

"The contract has expired, and I have no right to resist the capitalists, right?"

Xu Zirui spoke in a relaxed tone, joking with Jiang Xin like a friend.

But Jiang Xin's expression was complicated.

Everyone says that Xu Zirui loves Jiang Xin to the core, which is why he can tolerate everything about her.

But she filed for divorce, so why was he so calm?

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat tense.

Suddenly, Jiang Xin's stomach rumbled, breaking the silence.

Xu Zirui teased, "Hungry?"

Jiang Xin covered her stomach somewhat embarrassedly, "Yes, a little."

"Then you sit down, I'll go and cook you one last meal."

Xu Zirui got up, but his steps betrayed a barely concealed panic as he hurried into the kitchen.
