Chapter 89 The empty bridal chamber, has she really left?
As Lu Yanzhi headed towards the villa halfway up the mountain, Shi Nian looked at the notifications on her phone.
"Will there be any trouble?" Fu Jinyan asked worriedly.
He himself didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, as the CEO of an entertainment company, he had no shortage of such gossip, and he was single, so he wasn't afraid.
However, the times placed high demands on female chastity, and the spread of such gossip was bad for Shi Nian's reputation.
Even though they both knew that their relationship was completely innocent.
No, not really... his feelings for her were unclear.
However, Fu Jinyan was a sensible person and did not do anything that could be misunderstood.
Whether at the hospital, Fu's Entertainment Center, or a dinner party, it was all within the scope of work and friends.
Beside him, Shi Nian shook his head.
"It's nothing, I'll just issue a statement," Shi Nian said, typing on her phone.
"Moreover..." Shi Nian's eyes were calm. Compared to her mutually beneficial working relationship with Fu Jinyan, Lu Yanzhi and Han Wei were...
However, Shi Nian didn't want to talk about this, so she paused for a moment and said, "In a few days, Lu Yanzhi and I will get our divorce certificate, so these things are nothing."
Lu Yanzhi called her many times and sent her many messages.
She knew this, so she had already blocked or muted the other party.
The reason I didn't delete or block them is because I still need to get the divorce certificate and take back the property after everything is settled, which requires further communication.
Shi Nian didn't want to completely enrage Lu Yanzhi before getting the divorce certificate.
Let's keep a low profile for now and wait until the certificates are issued.
Thinking it over, Shi Nian continued editing the statement she was going to issue.
Fu Jinyan looked at Shi Nian's profile, hesitated slightly, and finally spoke.
"What if he changes his mind?" Fu Jinyan said, "If either party changes their mind during the cooling-off period, the divorce will not be successful."
Shi Nian checked the content one last time and clicked publish.
“He won’t.” Shi Nian looked up at the scenery rushing past the car window.
"Han Wei only has six months left. If he wants to be with Han Wei, he has to divorce me."
Outside the car window, someone was getting married, leaving behind a pile of red firecracker paper.
Think about it, they've only been married for a year.
The hasty yet grand wedding a year ago still seems vivid in my mind.
The entire city of A was ablaze with red, surrounded by clusters of white roses.
Her priceless wedding dress.
He prepared everything for her, and even though it wasn't perfect due to the rush, he did his best at the time.
He carried her out of the house and made a promise to her that he would be with her for life.
She remembered that at that time, there was clearly some affection for her in his eyes.
But only a year has passed...
In fact, it took less than a year.
He was the first to go astray in their marriage.
never mind.
Shi Nian withdrew her gaze.
Seven years. It may be difficult to admit that she loved the wrong person, but once she realized it, she would not look back.
Shi Nian smiled and said to Fu Jinyan beside her, "Besides, I have always kept evidence. Even if he goes back on his word, I can still file for divorce."
Fu Jinyan looked at the smile on Shi Nian's face and nodded helplessly.
She's always like this, so strong it breaks your heart.
...
On the other side.
Aston Martin is heading towards the hillside villa.
During the journey, Lu Yanzhi's phone rang.
While waiting at the red light, he glanced at it and saw a special reminder from the Shi Nian platform account for the latest news.
Lu Yan stopped.
Shi Nian: Recent online rumors about a romantic relationship between me and Fu Jinyan are all false. Fu Jinyan and I have been friends for many years. I was previously signed to Fu's Entertainment. Our interactions were purely professional and friendly, and nothing more. There were other people present at today's dinner; it wasn't just the two of us with the child. I hope all media outlets will stop spreading these rumors.
The red light turns green.
Lu Yanzhi closed the page and continued driving.
This statement remained weak and unconvincing, failing to convince neither the media nor him.
The anger did not subside.
She's been acting really strange lately.
He needs to ask.
The scene of her crying and refusing at Mingyue Manor reappeared in my mind.
She has a new love, that's why she rejected him?
She used to really like it.
Many times she was very tired, but as long as he coaxed her, she would cooperate.
She never rejected him.
Except for the last time.
Was it because of Fu Jinyan or Lin Yuchen?
Or someone else?
Lu Yanzhi gripped the steering wheel tightly.
The Aston Martin drove all the way to the hillside villa.
Lu Yanzhi parked the car and then opened the door and went inside.
But as soon as he stepped into the house, he found it was pitch black again.
Even the small light in the entryway wasn't turned on.
Lu Yanzhi frowned slightly. He remembered that the last time he came here, it seemed to be the same, with all the lights off.
"Smack!"
He reached out and turned on all the lights, illuminating the house, but it remained quiet.
Something's not right.
He came by once before when he came to pick up supplements for his grandfather, but the effects weren't very noticeable then. However, this time...
Lu Yanzhi pursed his lips and walked all the way to the room.
Shi Nian was not in the master bedroom.
There wasn't even a trace of anyone having lived there recently.
Lu Yanzhi frowned even more.
She moved out of the master bedroom?
Thinking about it, Lu Yanzhi went to open the doors to the other rooms.
In the three-story villa, Lu Yanzhi opened the doors to all the rooms one by one, but there was no sign that anyone had lived there.
Unwilling to give up, Lu Yanzhi went to the restroom again, but there were only his belongings there.
The toothbrushes that used to be placed together by two people now stand here all alone, belonging to only him.
She's not here.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to face the reality.
Lu Yanzhi returned to the master bedroom and looked at the empty half of the wardrobe.
This place used to be filled with their clothes.
Half of it belongs to him, and half to her.
But now, only his own suit hangs there, looking cold and impersonal.
Judging from the signs in the house, she had moved out a long time ago.
However, aside from business trips, visits to Mingyue Manor, and living with him, she would always return here.
She said that she had no home after her father passed away.
Her mother led her through many hardships, and later she went to live with her stepfather, which made things even worse.
Even after her stepfather left, her relationship with her mother deteriorated.
She said this is her home, and even if he is very busy, she will take good care of it.
She said she would wait for him to come home, no matter how late it was.
Over the past year, she has purchased many things here, all of which she has carefully arranged. Every time he comes back, he feels warm and at ease.
But now, she has moved everything away.
The house was empty and cold, with only his belongings remaining.
His clenched fist trembled slightly.
An indescribable pain traveled from Lu Yanzhi's heart to his fingertips.
Has she really left?
Or is this also a setup she orchestrated out of sheer folly?
