Chapter 1 Jin Qingyu, Let's Get a Divorce
Summer rains always come quickly and unexpectedly.
When Jiang Xingyao entered the room, still damp, her husband Jin Qingyu was covering the woman curled up on the sofa with a blanket.
The pregnancy test result in her bag seemed to have a chilling effect, penetrating the bag and seeping into every vein of Jiang Xingyao's body.
Jiang Xingyao stood at the door, not moving for a long time.
A cool breeze rushed into the room through the wide-open door. Jin Qingyu then looked at Jiang Xingyao, his thin lips parted slightly, but he only uttered two words: "Close the door."
Jiang Xingyao saw him lift the blanket again, covering the woman on the sofa even more tightly.
The howling wind, mixed with fine rain, lashed against Jiang Xingyao's already soaked back, making her shiver from the cold.
But how can the coldness in one's body compare to the coldness in one's heart?
Jiang Xingyao stared at the man in front of her, somewhat stiffly.
The car broke down on the road, and she called him countless times, but he didn't answer a single one.
She found a tow truck herself, came back soaked in the rain, and found him taking good care of her younger sister.
Even when the cold wind came in, he only remembered that Jiang Cancan was cold, and he couldn't see that she was in a disheveled state.
Jiang Xingyao didn't react for a long time. The man got up and brushed past her until the door slammed shut, at which point he finally stopped beside her.
Amidst the faint scent of ebony, Jiang Xingyao heard him ask somewhat stiffly, "Why are you so wet? Aunt Lin, take Madam to change her clothes."
"Shouldn't President Jin explain this to his wife? Is it not enough to keep her outside, so he simply brought her home?" Jiang Xingyao retorted.
When she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was terribly hoarse.
My head is a little dizzy.
Jiang Xingyao stared intently at the person in front of her.
This is the man she has loved for eight years.
The man was also looking at her, his delicate, thin lips twitching slightly: "So angry, did you suffer some injustice outside?"
His voice was somewhat casual. He raised his hand and casually brushed a strand of Jiang Xingyao's hair that was sticking to her face behind her ear, then added, "Jiang Cancan is your sister. She's just staying at our house. What other explanation does Mrs. Jin want to hear?"
Yes, Jiang Cancan is her younger sister. If it weren't for the fact that her grandfather's marriage contract specified her as the bride, it would have been Jiang Cancan who married Jin Qingyu back then.
Ultimately, she's the one who usurped the position, so what right does she have to be so aggressive here?
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Jiang Xingyao's lips as she suddenly felt utterly bored.
She had been married to Jin Qingyu for a whole year, and it all felt like a joke.
The man's heart always belonged to Jiang Cancan. No matter when, he would always be there whenever Jiang Cancan called.
Even in bed, he could withdraw at any time.
She always seemed like a clown, forever the one left behind.
She could bury her head in the sand before, but now that the person has been brought into her home, if Jiang Xingyao continues to pretend not to see them, she might as well be deaf and blind.
Pushing the man's hand away from her face, Jiang Xingyao said, "Jin Qingyu, let's get a divorce. I'll talk to Grandpa, you..."
"Divorce?" The man's eyes narrowed. "It was raining heavily today. Jiang Cancan got drunk at a business dinner, so I brought her back. That's all, you..."
Only then did he begin to explain.
Jiang Xingyao didn't want to listen anymore.
She just found it hilarious.
He knew the rain was heavy.
Even if he was busy before, now that he's back, he has time to take care of Jiang Cancan, but not time to ask her where this lady is.
Jiang Xingyao walked right past Jin Qingyu and went straight back to her bedroom.
The doctor's words still seem to echo in my ears.
"Congratulations, Ms. Jiang, you are one month pregnant and the baby is very healthy."
How delighted I was when I first heard those words, how ironic they are to Jiang Xingyao now.
The pregnancy test results were still in her bag, but she felt there was no need to take them out anymore.
I took a quick shower and dried my hair, but it was still completely silent outside.
Jin Qingyu should still be downstairs taking care of Jiang Cancan.
Jiang Xingyao didn't care anymore.
She will find someone to draft the divorce agreement tomorrow.
She's had enough of being Mrs. Jin.
Jiang Xingyao was woken up by the sound of the door opening in the morning.
Through her slightly blurry vision, she saw Jin Qingyu personally bring in a glass of milk.
She glanced at the time; it was 7:30. By this time, he should have been at the company long ago.
"Get up and drink your milk when you're awake. Let's talk." The man sat down on the edge of the bed, casually placing the milk on the bedside table. His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.
Jiang Xingyao didn't look at the glass of milk, but as for talking, she felt it was indeed necessary.
"I'll be done soon, you can go downstairs and wait for me," Jiang Xingyao said.
Jin Qingyu glanced down at his wristwatch and added, "Remember to drink the milk. Lin Ma just heated it up, with only three-tenths sugar."
Jiang Xingyao felt a bit ironic.
She couldn't understand how people could be as strange as Jin Qingyu.
He clearly didn't care that she got caught in the rain, but he remembered her habit of drinking a cup of hot milk with only three parts sugar every morning.
In the past, hearing these things might have moved Jiang Xingyao, but now…
She picked up the glass of milk and poured it directly into the toilet.
When Jiang Xingyao came downstairs, Jin Qingyu was sitting at the dining table alone; Jiang Cancan had already left.
The man was on the phone. Jiang Xingyao couldn't hear what was being said on the other end, but she saw his brow furrow slightly. After a moment, he replied, "I'll be there soon."
"Do you have something to do today?" Jiang Xingyao asked.
"Jiang Cancan was rear-ended, I'll wait a bit..."
"She rear-ended someone; there are traffic police and insurance companies involved. Do you really need to go and handle it?" Jiang Xingyao retorted.
She didn't want to drag it out any longer; all she wanted now was to finalize the divorce and extricate herself from the marriage as soon as possible.
“I’m going to the company later too, so it’s on my way,” Jin Qingyu said.
He glanced at Jiang Xingyao and added, "About yesterday..."
"Mr. Jin, if you have something to attend to, please go ahead. I will have someone draft the divorce agreement for you. I don't want a single penny of the Jin family's assets, I only want the house in Wangshan Manor," Jiang Xingyao said bluntly.
She got that house back from the Jiang family after she got married, and it was considered marital property. But it was the only thing her mother had given her, and she had to take it back.
When she married into the Jin family, she was all alone and penniless. However, her father demanded a staggering dowry of 500 million yuan from the Jin family. The marriage was a bargain for the Jiang family. Now that they are getting a divorce, she has no intention of asking for any share of the property.
"Jiang Xingyao, about the divorce..." The phone rang, interrupting Jin Qingyu's words.
Jiang Xingyao glanced at the lit-up phone screen; the three characters "Jiang Cancan" were dazzlingly bright.
She said, "My little wife is urging me again, Mr. Jin, you should go and get back to work."
"Jiang Xingyao! Why are you so harsh? Jiang Cancan and I..."
The phone screen went off and then lit up again; another call was coming in.
Jin Qingyu looked somewhat irritated. He picked up his phone and stood up, saying, "We'll talk about it when I get back."
