Chapter 90
Hearing the other person's drunken words, Fu Xingyun's heart softened completely.
"Because you don't like it?"
Lin Qiong nodded, but it was unclear who she was nodding to.
"I want a divorce."
"That's it again," Fu Xingyun said, raising a hand to pinch the bridge of her nose. "Why do you want a divorce? Has Fu Xingyun not treated you well?"
Lin Qiong didn't reply for a moment, and this pause made the man waiting for an answer feel a little anxious.
He asked again, "Is he not good to you?"
Lin Qiong then slowly said, "Okay."
He continued, "He spends money on me."
Fu Xingyun: "Spending money on you means I'm doing you a favor?"
Lin Qiong hummed, "Yeah, what I like most is money."
He gestured with his finger in the air, saying, "You know, money can buy a lot of good things."
Fu Xingyun listened carefully, but a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart, "Besides Fu Xingyun, is there anyone else who gives you money to spend?"
"Yes, I have."
The man paused for a moment, then asked, "So, do you like it?"
Lin Qiong answered without hesitation, "Of course."
Fu Xingyun took a deep breath instantly, "Who is it?!"
Lin Qiong: "The nation."
"..."
He grew up in an orphanage without parents, worked incredibly hard to get into school, and won several scholarships, as well as government subsidies.
Every time I received money, it felt heavy in my pocket, and I couldn't be more satisfied.
Lin Qiong sometimes wondered why other people were so lucky, born with parents and money.
But gradually, he stopped thinking about it and couldn't figure it out anymore.
Fu Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then began to coax the other party, "What if he stops giving you money after you get a divorce?"
Lin Qiong had drunk a lot and was calculating her next move. She was completely unsuspecting. "It's okay, I have the property I received in the divorce settlement."
Fu Xingyun: ...
Upon hearing the other party's escape route, the man remained silent for a long time.
Lin Qiong didn't even know how she hung up the phone, and in a daze, she went back to the hotel with Wang Cheng.
I woke up the next morning with a splitting headache and lay in bed groaning for a long time.
Fortunately, the work is tomorrow, otherwise I wouldn't be able to recover.
Lin Qiong tossed and turned in bed for a long time before finally getting up. Not long after washing up, she heard a knock on the door.
Lin Qiong walked towards the door, only to find a stranger standing there when she opened it.
"Hello, Mr. Lin."
Lin Qiong was taken aback. "Hello."
Before Lin Qiong could even ask, the man introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Mr. Fu's lawyer, here to discuss divorce with Mr. Lin."
divorce? !
If you're going to talk about that, then I'm no longer sleepy.
Lin Qiong immediately perked up, stepped aside, and said, "Please come in."
The lawyer nodded politely. "Excuse me."
Once inside, Lin Qiong poured the lawyer a glass of water, but the lawyer didn't drink it and went straight to the point.
"As far as I know, it was Mr. Lin who proposed the divorce."
Lin Qiong nodded. "That's right."
She asked somewhat nervously, "Do you think I can get a divorce?"
The lawyer nodded. "Of course, marriage is a matter of personal freedom."
As she spoke, she took out the prepared document, thinking about what Fu Xingyun had told her, "But if Mr. Lin gets a divorce, he will lose a lot in terms of property division."
Lin Qiong didn't seem to mind. "It's nothing."
The lawyer swallowed hard. "It's probably only a drop in the ocean."
Lin Qiong's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this, "Really? That's great!"
Even a drop in the ocean for an entrepreneur like Fu Xingyun would be enough for him to live on for several lifetimes.
lawyer:……
"I was just using an analogy; Mr. Lin will receive much less money than that," the lawyer began to try to salvage the situation.
Lin Qiong: "Is it possible to not get even a single point?"
The lawyer shook his head. "No, because family contributions are a matter for both of you. If he has contributed, you have contributed too, so it's fair to divide the property among you."
Lin Qiong breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as I get a share of the money, that's fine."
The lawyer immediately changed his tune, saying, "But how many things in the world are truly fair?"
"..."
Lawyer: "May I ask what caused the breakdown of your relationship with Mr. Fu?"
As far as he knew, the two were in a very healthy marriage, with no worries about money or daily necessities, and no third party involved.
Lin Qiong shook her head. "It's not broken."
The lawyer was puzzled after hearing this, "Then why get a divorce?"
"Because there is no emotion."
"..."
Lin Qiong felt ashamed and remained silent for a while before saying, "Could you please pass on my message to him?"
Lawyer: "I can't."
Lin Qiong: !
The lawyer then took a recording pen out of his pocket, "But it can."
"..."
"What is it that you can't say to Mr. Fu in person?"
Lin Qiong gripped the fabric of her clothes tightly, "I can't say it because I'm ashamed."
His marriage to his partner was a ridiculous thing he did from the very beginning because he loved money and valued his life.
He felt it was time to tell the other person, but for some reason he didn't have the courage to say it in front of them.
He was afraid, afraid to see the expression on the man's face. Although it had never happened, Lin Qiong had imagined it countless times: disappointment, disgust, anger, sadness...
He knew he would make excuses for himself after he finished speaking, but those excuses were just that—excuses. Nothing he said would change anything, and he felt that this absurd affair should come to an end.
Fu Xingyun has the right to know these things, even if he only gets a few thousand yuan in the divorce settlement, he wants to tell Fu Xingyun all of this.
Seeing the lawyer turn on the recording pen, Lin Qiong nervously swallowed and spoke in the name she had used for over a year, "Xingyun".
After saying that, he remained silent for a long time before continuing, "I'm sorry for lying to you. Actually, I didn't marry you because of love at first. I was just making that up. I only married you for money. I'm sorry."
She took a deep breath and said, "But I am also very grateful for your care during this time. You have given me a lot and allowed me to live the wealthy life I had always imagined. I know this is not fair to you, but don't think that it is all my fault. I am so naughty."
"After hearing these words, you may not want to see me again. I promise that I will never appear in front of you after the divorce. I will disappear completely."
Finally, unsure how to end the conversation, Lin Qiong softly said, "I'm sorry."
The lawyer saw that the other party turned off the recording pen after speaking.
Lin Qiong: "Thank you for your trouble."
The lawyer waved his hand, "No trouble at all."
They turned a deaf ear to Lin Qiong's scumbag behavior. After all, they were lawyers and had seen all sorts of disgusting cases. These were just ordinary cases on a daily basis.
As she finished packing her things, she stood up and said, "I will help convey this to Mr. Fu. Thank you for your cooperation today."
The moment the door closed, Lin Qiong seemed to lose all support and collapsed onto the sofa.
He's already said it all.
He finally spoke out all the words that had been bottled up inside him, words that had tormented him for countless days and nights.
Every time I think about it, I feel sorry for Fu Xingyun. The guilt has been weighing on my heart, but it finally came out after I said it just now.
Lin Qiong lay on the sofa, her eyes fixed on the green plants not far away.
——
Fu Xingyun's eyes darkened as he looked at the recording pen in front of him.
"He asked you to give it to me?"
The lawyer nodded. "Mr. Lin has something he doesn't dare say to you in person, so he asked me to pass on a message."
"You can go out now."
The lawyer took a step forward but hesitated for a moment. "Mr. Fu, should I bring you the medicine?"
Fu Xingyun glanced at him and said, "I'm in great shape right now."
The lawyer hesitated for a moment, "I'm afraid you won't be in a good state after hearing this."
"..."
It's easy to imagine how impactful this recording was.
After the lawyer left, Fu Xingyun stared at the recording pen for a long time, and even made a simple guess before turning it on.
Could it be that Lin Qiong is hiding something from him?
Or did you do something wrong?
Finally, I pressed play, and the other person's voice came through repeatedly.
Hearing the other person call his name calmed Fu Xingyun down a bit, but the more he listened, the tighter his grip became, and his face started to look grim.
After listening to the recording, Fu Xingyun closed his eyes and leaned back in his office chair, the other person's words echoing in his mind.
She married him for money.
He was deceived by Lin Qiong.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Lin Qiong genuinely cared about him in real life or was just putting on an act.
He knew perfectly well on their wedding day that his wife was marrying him for money, but in the end, he lost himself in her constant expressions of love and affection after the marriage.
He truly believed Lin Qiong, and truly believed the feelings Lin Qiong spoke of for him.
He then raised his hand and swept everything on the desk onto the floor.
Those expensive items instantly shattered into pieces, making a crackling sound.
——
The next day, Wang Cheng knocked on Lin Qiong's door at six o'clock in the morning, saying, "Get ready, we're going to the activity venue in a bit."
Lin Qiong changed her clothes, still half asleep, then packed her things and went out.
After getting into the car, Wang Cheng noticed how sleepy the person looked and said, "Just hang in there a little longer. There's a separate rest room for you when we get to the event venue, where you can catch up on your sleep."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong forced herself to keep her eyes open.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the lounge, he buried himself in the sofa.
The stylist standing nearby glanced over and asked, "Aren't you going to style your hair?"
If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but this stylist's voice was too familiar, so Lin Qiong raised her hand and symbolically patted her head a few times.
Stylist: ...
After proving that he could handle it himself, the stylist left the dressing room.
Wang Cheng went out to get the process sheet, and on his way back, he spotted the man in front of him.
It wasn't that he wanted to see it, it's just that the other person was too eye-catching.
The other person had broad shoulders and long legs, and looked very charming in a black suit. He was tall, with a V-shaped waist, and a typical inverted triangle physique.
He then stole a glance at the other person's appearance. Unlike the pretty boys popular in the industry now, he had delicate features but was also rugged and dignified, exuding masculine hormones.
With such outstanding physical attributes, it's hard to find another person in the industry with such charisma and presence.
If this person were to enter the entertainment industry, they would definitely become a star.
The other person strode forward, and Wang Cheng originally thought that the other person was just wandering around, but unexpectedly they ended up in the same place.
Just as the door to the lounge was about to open, Wang Cheng, the agent, strode forward. He wanted to question the other person, but the pressure was so strong that he abruptly changed his tone, "Who...who are you looking for?"
Fu Xingyun succinctly replied: "Lin Qiong."
Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng asked, "You're his fan?"
Fu Xingyun paused for a moment, then nodded.
Wow, it turns out to be a fan sneaking off to see their idol! After looking the person up and down, I never expected Lin Qiong to have such a serious fan.
Then Wang Cheng tentatively asked, "What do you like about Lin Qiong?"
"everything."
Ha! That's insane.
Seeing the other person's imposing presence, and considering that Lin Qiong had been secretly heartbroken recently because of her divorce, wasn't this a perfect opportunity to introduce her to someone?
To pull someone out of the gutter is to let them see the light.
The man was wearing an expensive suit; he looked very wealthy.
Wang Cheng: "To be honest, Lin Qiong, whom you like, has been going through a sad time lately."
The man frowned after hearing this. "Why?"
Wang Cheng sighed, "You don't know this, but his experience was actually very tragic."
Fu Xingyun froze upon hearing this. Had Lin Qiong experienced something bad?
"He went astray before and married an old pervert who was both old and crazy."
