Chapter 36 There's nothing left to exploit.
Yun Zhaozhao's face paled, but she quickly regained her composure and glanced at the document with disgust. "Do you think I'd believe that?"
Although Pei Jiuyan was a scoundrel, she was more willing to believe him than the document.
The clerk chuckled: "He has a red mole on his thigh, another on his vest, and a scar on his shoulder blade..."
"Enough!"
Yun Zhaozhao suppressed her disgust and said, "I have no interest in the details of the two of you sleeping together, so there's no need to say more. If you really want to share, you can film a clip next time, and I guarantee I'll make you the number one AV star. Trust me, I have the ability, and I'm willing to spend the money."
The clerk's face was contorted from being teased, but after a moment's thought, she quickly regained her arrogant demeanor.
"I'm saying this just to say that we were together before, and it was only because of you that we broke up."
"Oh, that's because you're not charming enough."
Yun Zhaozhao said absentmindedly.
"Hmph? Why do you think Jiu Yan is with you? Just because you're the Yun family's little princess. If you were just an ordinary person, do you think he'd even give you a second glance?"
The clerk spoke with a face full of jealousy, wondering why it was so unfair. Some people were born into privilege, while she couldn't even afford an apple and had to constantly try to please others.
I thought these words would be a huge blow to Yun Zhaozhao, but to my surprise, she remained calm and composed.
"I know."
Yun Zhaozhao smiled and said, "I spend money, he puts in the effort. Being kept also costs money."
"You're jealous? Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Being born into the right family is a skill. If you're bad at it, you'll just have to practice more."
Yun Zhaozhao had a smile on her face and seemed unaffected.
She already knew.
After the incident at the Yun family, Pei Jiuyan became increasingly indifferent to her, and she gradually came to realize it.
She just didn't want to admit it before, but now she's figured it out. Where does so much sincerity come from? It's all about mutual benefit.
She provided Pei Jiuyan with connections and the support of the Yun family, while Pei Jiuyan provided her with emotional support, making her happy and keeping her joyful for six years.
It's good that the money and goods are exchanged now; it's very fair.
The clerk was taken aback by Yun Zhaozhao's calm demeanor.
"Keep up the good work, and don't hang around in front of me unless it's absolutely necessary. You and Pei Jiuyan both disgust me."
As she spoke, Yun Zhaozhao made a vomiting gesture and closed the door while the document writer was jumping up and down in anger.
The moment the door closed, the smile vanished from her face. She ran to the bathroom and started vomiting, throwing up everything she had just eaten. The words from the document echoed in her ears, making her feel utterly disgusted.
Pei Jiuyan had actually been with Wenshu for a long time, making her the other woman.
"Zhaozhao, what's wrong? Is your stomach upset again?"
Pei Jiuyan had just finished talking with his mother when he returned to find the room empty and heard vomiting coming from the bathroom. He rushed in and saw Yun Zhaozhao hugging the toilet and vomiting.
“Zhaozhao…”
He tried to help Yun Zhaozhao up, but she pushed him away, saying, "Get out! Don't touch me! Pei Jiuyan, you disgust me."
He lost his balance, and with Yun Zhaozhao being quite strong, he staggered from the push, and his anger flared up immediately.
"Enough, Yun Zhaozhao, who can stand your temper? One day you'll ruin yourself."
He had been holding back his anger while eating, but he had been suppressing it because he was concerned about Yun Zhaozhao's health. Now, it had completely exploded.
"I'll kill you before I die."
Yun Zhaozhao said fiercely.
Upon hearing this, Pei Jiuyan's anger subsided considerably. He loved Yun Zhaozhao's spirit; how could anyone not like it?
“Baby, stop crying, I’ll go get you some water.”
"Pei Jiuyan!"
Yun Zhaozhao called out to him, "My parents are gone, and my brother is gone too. You don't need me anymore, so let me go."
Yun Zhaozhao's voice was low and trembling if you listened carefully, but Pei Jiuyan, who was in a fit of rage, did not notice it. He felt as if he had been stabbed hard.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and after a long pause, he finally said, "What are you saying?"
"I have nothing left for you to use, Pei Jiuyan. For the sake of how well I treated you before, let's leave it at that."
Yun Zhaozhao was truly exhausted.
She wanted a peaceful breakup; she didn't want things to end badly. She wanted to leave some beautiful memories between them, so that at least they wouldn't look back on it as a mess.
However, Pei Jiuyan insisted on making her unable to hide even the last bit of beauty, forcing her to tear off that beautiful exterior and reveal the festering wounds inside.
How could he be so bad?
Pei Jiuyan stared at Yun Zhaozhao without saying a word. After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a question: "Yun Zhaozhao, is your heart made of stone?"
Is this how she's thought of him all these years?
Can't she see all that he's doing? Or is it because her heart has never been with him?
Thinking back to the conversation he overheard between her and Zhou Xiao more than a year ago, his expression turned cold.
"Yun Zhaozhao, all you want is a divorce, right? I'll grant your wish."
"We'll go sign tomorrow."
He used to think the most hurtful thing was Yun Zhaozhao wanting a divorce, but today he realized there were even more devastating things to say.
Pei Jiuyan did not return to his room that night. Yun Zhaozhao did not know whether he went out or was in another room. She did not care. She placed her hand on her lower abdomen and hesitated.
This child is really tough; several times she thought the child was doomed, but who knew it would still be alive and well.
She was afraid that Pei Jiuyan would not agree to a divorce if he knew about the child, but now that Pei Jiuyan has agreed, should she still have the child aborted?
After the divorce, she could go somewhere else and secretly give birth to the child. Pei Jiuyan would never know that they had a child together, and it wouldn't affect her life.
My previously firm resolve began to waver for the first time.
She was all alone; if the child was born, she would have family again.
That night, Yun Zhaozhao fell asleep at some point, her mind preoccupied with something. She woke up early the next morning to find the downstairs empty.
She removed Pei Jiuyan from her blacklist and dialed his number, but no one answered.
That bastard might have changed his mind again, right?
Finally, she asked the housekeeper and found out that Pei Jiuyan was in the study. Yun Zhaozhao went straight there. When she got to the door, she was about to go in when Pei's mother's voice came from inside.
“Jiuyan, since she brought up divorce, you agreed. Over the years, you have done more than enough for her.”
Yun Zhaozhao paused on the doorknob, then scoffed. "What a fine line," she thought. She didn't rush in, but wanted to hear what Pei Jiuyan had to say.
Soon, Pei Jiuyan's voice came: "Mom, I know what I'm doing."
"What sense of propriety do you have? I think you're completely entangled. You said before that you were only with Yun Zhaozhao because you wanted revenge, and that you would dump her once you had taken over the Yun family. Now that the Yun family is gone, what are you still hesitating about?"
"I want half of her assets in the divorce settlement."
Pei Jiuyan's voice rang out again.
Just as Pei's mother was about to speak, the study door was suddenly pushed open.
