Chapter 1 She is still a legal wife

This was not the first time Chi Yuan had dreamed of that night.

It was the birthday party of the old man of the Qi family. In the bedroom of the old house, people were coming and going in the corridor outside. Inside the door, Chi Yuan was wearing a backless long dress, which made her cartoon-like figure look exquisite and charming, making people feel distracted.

She sat astride Qi Wang's legs, her tone soft, commanding yet pleading: "Give it to me..."

The man under her drank the same wine as her. He stared at her with deep eyes. She couldn't see the emotions in them, so she tilted her head and kissed his lips.

"You can't..."

The man's body stiffened, and the big hand that had been pulled over and placed on her waist remained motionless. "Chi Yuan, look carefully at who I am."

Chi Yuan looked up, his somewhat dilated pupils emitting boundless enchantment that captivated his heart.

The jewel in the crown of the Chi family, 19-year-old Chi Yuan, has been spoiled since childhood. Every inch of her skin is exquisite. She will definitely get what she wants.

Including the man beneath her.

As if he had lost his patience, Chi Yuan ordered again, "Give it to me..."

Qi Wang stretched out his hand to press her neck and kissed her domineeringly, as if he wanted to tear her apart and eat her into his stomach. She couldn't breathe and could only make sounds like a kitten.

It's not enough at all.

She wanted more...

"Qi..."

Before she even said her name, the man took the initiative and pressed her under him.

When she reached out to hold the head of the bed, Chi Yuan's eyes seemed to see something falling down. Her distraction made Qi Wang dissatisfied, but the next second she frowned tightly.

Chi Yuan subconsciously bit her lips, leaving obvious teeth marks on her plump lips, and then tears rolled down.

The next second, the man stretched out his slender fingers, and his cold fingertips with slightly calloused texture brushed the corners of her eyes.

"Xiaoyuan, don't cry."

Chi Yuan was awakened by the vibration of his cell phone.

She opened her eyes, and everything in her dream shattered. The originally luxuriously decorated European-style ceiling turned into the old and peeling walls of the rental house.

I took a look at the express delivery at the door and found that it was the divorce agreement sent by Qi Wang and the notice of the court's auction of ancestral property.

Chi Yuan stared at the document written in black and white. Qi Wang's name had already been signed at the end. It would only take effect after she signed it.

Her mouth felt bitter, and she laughed for a long while.

As soon as the Chi family declared bankruptcy, the divorce agreement was delivered to her by express delivery within the city. Qi Wang was even too lazy to come in person.

But there's nothing surprising about it.

After all, it was Qi Wang who drank the cup of spiked wine, which was originally intended for Qi Wang's half-brother, which led to Qi Wang being forced to marry her under pressure from the Chi family.

During the four years of marriage, Qi Wang endured humiliation in the Chi family.

Qi Wang was the illegitimate son of the Qi family and was later recognized by Old Man Qi. But even with the identity of a member of the Qi family, not many people looked up to him. After marrying her, unpleasant words came out one after another, such as "gigolo" and "gigolo", which were already the mildest ones.

She slept with the wrong person and regretted it so much that she took out all her dissatisfaction on Qi Wang, to the point that she didn't even go to the wedding. In the four years after marriage, she had been bothering him a lot and was even unwilling to share a room with him.

But that dream haunted her every night, making her recall that absurd night again and again.

Chi Yuan held the pen, with the tip of the pen hovering over the signature column, and was hesitant to press it down.

When she married Qi Wang, the Chi family was at its peak.

Now, the Chi family has fallen, all its properties have been auctioned off, and it still owes a huge debt. However, Qi Wang, who was bullied by everyone in the past, has quietly accumulated his strength and established a firm foothold in the Qi family. He even set up his own company and took most of the economic lifeline into his own hands.

Chi Yuan's eyes fell on the property division at the end of the agreement. She was given 50 million as divorce compensation.

Unfortunately, these 50 million are just a drop in the bucket compared to the current debt owed by the Chi family.

Suddenly, there was a creaking sound, and the door was pushed open. Father and Mother Chi came back exhausted.

Chi Yuan instinctively grabbed the divorce agreement and stuffed it into the stack of documents, but it was still seen by Chi's father.

"It's from the court."

Chi Yuan had no choice but to hand over the subpoena informing him of the judicial auction. "They said they were going to auction the manor in the west of the city."

Mother Wen Yurong clutched the subpoena in a daze, her voice filled with tears: "This piece of land can't be sold. It's our family's ancestral property, passed down from your great-grandfather's generation. No matter what, it can't be sold..."

The atmosphere suddenly became suffocatingly heavy.

This time, Mr. and Mrs. Chi went out to ask for help from their former investment partners, hoping to ask them to see if they could give them some help. However, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down. When the Chi family was in power in the past, those people gathered together quickly, and now they run away just as quickly. Their Chi family is now a hot potato.

Father Chi was hunched over, smoking one cigarette after another, and remained silent for a long time.

In just a few days, the once high-spirited Mr. Chi looked dozens of years older, with a haggard appearance and fine white hair growing on his forehead.

Chi Yuan felt a pang of pain in his heart and hid the divorce agreement inside again.

"Yuanyuan, go and ask Qi Wang to help our family, okay?"

Wen Yurong's hands were full of strength, as if she had grabbed the last straw. "I heard that Qi Wang's business is doing well now. If he is willing to help, there will be no problem! We have treated Qi Wang unfairly in the past, but you have been husband and wife for four years after all. Even if it is just to let him keep that piece of land, it will be fine!"

Chi Yuan was stunned.

Before she could speak, Father Chi had already stamped out his cigarette and muttered, "No!"

"You also know that our family has treated Qi Wang unfairly in the past, yet you still let Yuanyuan go and beg him. I wonder how humiliated she will be!"

Wen Yurong dejectedly let go of her hand, fell to the ground, and murmured, "What else can I do? Just watch my ancestral land being sold off?"

Father Chi stopped talking and went to get another cigarette, but the box was empty.

Everything was gloomy and sad. Chi Yuan bit his tongue, not knowing why he was still being so pretentious.

The family is already in such a state, why is she still clinging to her airs as the eldest daughter?

How much can face be sold for?

Chi Yuan wiped Wen Yurong's tears with a tissue and whispered, "Mom, I'll go find Qi Wang right away."

After arriving, Chi Yuan stood downstairs with his heart churning.

Qi Wang's company is located in the newly built commercial district, but Chi Yuan has never been there before and has no idea which floor Qi Wang's office is on, so he can only bite the bullet and ask the front desk.

The receptionist smiled sweetly: "Excuse me, do you have an appointment with Mr. Qi?"

Of course not.

Chi Yuan was hesitating whether to take a photo of the divorce agreement, but a soft female voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Xiao Xu, what else does Miss Chi need to make an appointment with Mr. Qi?"

Chi Yuan was stunned, and when he turned around, he saw a slender figure.

The woman in front of him was wearing a white cotton dress, her long hair casually draped behind her. Although she was smiling, her eyes were like a knife, sweeping over her inch by inch before she spoke slowly: "After all, before the divorce agreement takes effect, Miss Chi is still Ah Wang's legal wife, isn't she?"
