"Chu Zhi Xin, let's get divorced!"
When Sheng Ting Ye's voice came from behind, Chu Zhi Xin was cooking steak.
The sizzling hot oil splashed on her face, but she didn't feel any pain.
"Between you and me, there is only the title of husband and wife, no affection. The four-year deadline is up, it's time to end it."
The man's voice was cold, carrying a touch of aloofness.
Chu Zhi Xin bit her lip.
This day, eventually... it came.
Four years ago, the Chu family went bankrupt, and due to the unbearable burden, both her father and mother committed suicide, leaving a mess for Chu Zhi Xin to bear alone.
Chu Zhi Xin's grandfather and Sheng Ting Ye's grandfather were comrades-in-arms who had fought together. Chu’s grandfather once saved Sheng’s grandfather on the battlefield.
As he lay dying, Chu's grandfather was most worried about his granddaughter, and entrusted Chu Zhi Xin to Sheng's grandfather.
Thus, this nominal marriage came into existence.
However, she didn’t know when it happened, but she transgressed the boundaries in this contract marriage and gave him her entire heart.
She thought that as long as she played the role of 'wife' well, he would eventually reciprocate her love.
In the end, what she waited for was divorce!
"I will give you four billion and a duplex in Chang Tan district as compensation. This is the divorce agreement, if there are no objections, please sign it."
Sheng Tingye emotionlessly handed over a stack of documents to Chu Zhi Xin, his expression as cold and detached as if he were discussing a business deal.
Chu Zhi Xin took the agreement, her eyes tracing over the series of numbers.
Four years, four hundred million.
The Sheng family was as generous as usual.
"Is divorce the only solution?"
Chu Zhi Xin closed the agreement, her gaze lifting to rest on the man in front of her.
The man she had loved for four years had an incredibly handsome face, a towering physique, and a perpetually serious demeanor. He was always so restrained, like a high mountain flower, unreachable.
"Divorce is the only solution."
There was no hesitation in Sheng Tingye's cold tone.
Her heart ached slightly.
But she, Chu Zhi Xin, was never the type to dwell and whine.
Since she was determined to crash against this southern wall until her head bled, she should turn back now.
Well, four years of marriage in exchange for four hundred million, it was worth it either way!
"Alright, I agree."
Holding the pen, she efficiently wrote down her name on the agreement.
Sheng Tingye was somewhat taken aback.
In his memories, this woman had always been soft and weak, very indecisive, like a rabbit with zero survival skills.
Now, she seemed quite calm and collected.
Somehow, this made him a bit uneasy.
"I will notify you of the registration time, if possible, it would be best if you can move out tonight."
Ignoring his unease, Sheng Tingye coldly finished speaking and turned to leave the villa.
Clearly, regarding the divorce, he didn't come to consult with Chu Zixin, but just to notify her.
That night, the servants who usually had no kind face towards Chu Zixin, became even more arrogant upon knowing that she was being forced to divorce.
They directly threw her luggage out of the villa.
"You woman, you've been sucking the blood of the Sheng family for four years, it's about time you were kicked out, it serves you right!"
In the cold night, Chu Zixin squatted down to gather her scattered clothes all over the ground. She looked completely mortified.
At this moment, the sound of a car parking came from behind her. A tall woman stepped out of the car.
"Miss Lin, you're finally here, was it a hard journey?"
The servant who had just been shouting at Chu Zixin, now eagerly helped carry the woman's luggage.
Lin Yirou, holding her chin up, didn't even glance at anyone: "Be careful, my things are very expensive. If you break them, you can't afford to compensate."
Chu Zixin on the side froze for a moment, and then she understood.
