Chapter 23 Preparing for Two Scenarios: Filing for Divorce

Shi Nian's statement was released in the afternoon.

I'm using an account that hasn't been used in a long time.

The statement was also very simple.

Shi Nian: The speculation about the love triangle between me, Lu Yanzhi, and Han Wei on the internet has continued to expand. Currently, Lu Yanzhi and I are still in the process of marriage. I would like to make this statement in the hope that all this farce can stop. As for the rest, things will become clear in the future.

The post had barely been published when, as expected, negative comments began to pour in.

"What can stop? What will become clear in the future? Why don't you just step down?"

"Yeah, yeah, Han Wei is almost dead, can't you be kind and get a divorce yourself?"

"This is disgusting. What's the point of posting this? Are you telling everyone you're the one in charge, and blaming Han Wei? If you don't have the charm to keep your husband, who else can you blame?"

"Emphasizing the duration of the marriage? Everyone knows what you're really thinking."

"I hate people who do things in secret. Han Wei said she liked Lu Yanzhi openly and honestly before."

"That's right, and Han Wei and Lu Yanzhi didn't do anything. Han Wei just went to pick Lu Yanzhi up for work. According to the photos and times provided by the reporters, Han Wei only went upstairs for a short while, unless Lu Yanzhi was a 'second'..."

"Upstairs, our CEO Lu couldn't possibly be a flash!"

...

A barrage of negative comments followed, and Fu Jinyan, sitting in the hospital room, looked at Shi Nian with a conflicted expression.

He said, "Aren't you just giving them an outlet for their frustrations?"

Shi Nian put down her phone and said calmly, "Even if they don't comment here, they'll comment on other videos. It's the same, there's no difference."

Fu Jinyan frowned slightly: "I don't understand. This statement is so weak and ineffective, it doesn't even have a lawyer's letter. Why did you issue it?"

Shi Nian looked up at Fu Jinyan: "This is exactly the effect I wanted."

"This is just a statement."

"It serves no other purpose than to leave a record."

Fu Jinyan still didn't understand, but he trusted Shi Nian. If she was confident in her abilities, she would do it, and this statement wouldn't affect the company.

After all, it was "Yan" and "Yining" who signed the contract with the company, so what business is it of Guan Shinian's?

Shi Nian put down her phone and focused on preparing the song for the first live broadcast of "The Voice of Heaven".

Shi Nian didn't tell Fu Jinyan that she was making preparations for both scenarios.

This statement at least represents:

First, Shi Nian learned about the love triangle that was causing a stir online and saw a lot of negative comments.

Second, Shi Nian has already issued a statement to remind and warn Lu Yanzhi and Han Wei about their behavior.

Third, the more negative comments there are under this post, the greater the harm she has suffered as a result, and the more comprehensive the evidence of the breakdown in the relationship.

It would be best if the divorce could proceed smoothly after the 30-day cooling-off period.

If the divorce doesn't go through, Shi Nian is prepared to file for divorce.

She absolutely had to leave Lu Yanzhi!

...

On the other side.

There was a knock on the door of the CEO's office at the Lu's Building.

Lu Yanzhi looked up and saw Secretary Zhou.

"What's up?"

Secretary Zhou walked over and handed the tablet to Lu Yanzhi.

Secretary Zhou said, "Mr. Lu, your wife has issued a statement using her own account."

He frowned slightly when he realized it was her account.

After they got married, he had already discussed with Shi Nian that she needed to consult him before posting any updates on her account, because she was no longer just Shi Nian, but also Mrs. Lu. But now…

Lu Yanzhi glanced at his phone; she still hadn't sent him a message.

Therefore, this was her own decision.

Lu Yanzhi reached out and took the tablet, where he saw the statement.

He clicked on the comments below and saw the negative ones.

The company has a public relations department to handle things online, so he usually doesn't pay much attention to them. This is the first time he has carefully looked at what netizens are saying.

My first thought was that this was indeed posted by her, which means she wasn't seriously injured after falling down the stairs.

My second thought was that she was indeed making a scene.

Instead of sending him messages, she used this account to tell him that they were not yet divorced.

She knew perfectly well that he would know as long as she posted something using this account.

"Mr. Lu, should we contact your wife to do some public relations?" Secretary Zhou asked from the side.

Lu Yanzhi placed the tablet on the table.

"Ignore it."

Secretary Zhou put away the tablet and nodded, saying, "Then what about Miss Han..."

Lu Yanzhi tapped the table lightly with his left hand: "I'll handle it."

He paused briefly, then glanced at Secretary Zhou: "What is Li Yanqing doing right now?"

Secretary Zhou was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and unconsciously lowered his voice: "He went back to his hometown. With your orders, President Lu, he dared not return to City A."

Secretary Zhou glanced at Lu Yanzhi again and continued, "With your instructions, Mr. Lu, he won't have an easy time anywhere."

Lu Yanzhi hummed in agreement.

Secretary Zhou took the tablet and left. Lu Yanzhi looked up thoughtfully at the view outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Even on the top floor of the Lu Group building, he could still feel the wind howling outside.

The wind is still very strong in City A.

This gale that swept across half the country has not yet stopped.

The city continues to operate at high speed, and everyone follows a different path.

Even on windy days, the buildings were still bustling with people.

The flowers that had just bloomed in April were blown down and then swept up by the strong wind, and the rain of petals flying all over the sky looked both romantic and desolate.

But in the end, the wind stopped.

Three days passed quickly.

Although Shi Nian's body has not yet fully recovered to its previous state, it has improved a lot, especially the dizziness caused by the mild concussion.

During these three days, she prepared the content for the first performance of "Heavenly Voice" and finalized the costumes and makeup.

Because she had recently miscarried, she couldn't be exposed to wind, cold water, or spicy and raw food, so even though the weather was gradually getting warmer, she still had to wear long sleeves and pants.

For the past three days, Shi Nian has been bedridden and has given a statement to the police.

They provided relevant information, hoping the police could solve the case as soon as possible.

Everything seems to be getting better, like the weather slowly warming up after a strong wind.

She will get better.

On the sixth day of the divorce cooling-off period, which was also the day of the first live broadcast of "The Voice of Heaven", Shi Nian got up, washed, and went to the mirror.

On the shelf next to it were performance costumes that were being prepared in full swing. Layer upon layer of roses were piled on the bright red dresses. The unique and exquisite design made these roses cluster together to form a reborn flame.

There was also a mask carefully hidden next to the skirt.

The dress, paired with a mask adorned with exaggerated rose elements, makes her look both beautiful and dangerous.

All of this contrasted sharply with the pale and thin Shi Nian standing beside him.

In just a few days, she lost 10 pounds.

This made her, who was already thin, look even more like a paper doll.

Wearing a red dress and matching exaggerated rose tassel earrings, Shi Nian finally reached out and took the mask.

Without hesitation, she put on the mask.

The mask fit perfectly, hiding Shi Nian's face behind it.

When I looked up again, the person standing in the mirror was a completely different person.

Yining.
