Chapter 15

Returning home, I took two bottles of wine to Mo Shu’s place.

“Fu Shen is a bastard.”

Mo Shu slammed her glass down, cursing Fu Shen with a face full of anger.

“If I had known he was this kind of person, I shouldn’t have helped him when he proposed to you.”

I continued pouring wine into our glasses, shaking my head with a smile.

Who can predict the future?

No matter how passionately love begins, in the end, it all comes down to conscience.

I am just grateful that I discovered it not too late, and everything is still manageable.

“I heard that during the five days you were gone, Fu Shen didn’t even go to the company. He handed everything over to Lu Yifeng and waited for you at the hospital entrance every day.

“If you disappear for five days and he’s like this, what if you really go abroad? He might go crazy.”

Mo Shu’s tone carried a hint of schadenfreude.

But how Fu Shen would face my departure, I couldn’t care less.

“All I can think about now is how to help Professor Li with experiments after going abroad and worrying about Fu Shen standing me up on the day we get the divorce certificate.

“Everything else is not within my consideration.”

Mo Shu raised her glass to clink with mine.

“Alright, alright, you’re totally career-minded, I love it.”

The next day, after waking up from a drunken night, I received a call from the agent.

They told me the house had found a buyer, and they bought it in full without bargaining a single penny.

I was very pleased; finally, some good news. I asked the agent to expedite the transfer procedures.

In the days that followed, I was busy with hospital handovers and preparing to go abroad.

Fu Shen occasionally called me.

Always asking about trivial things like where his clothes or ties were.

After a while, I just stopped answering.

If it weren’t for the divorce certificate, I would have blocked him immediately.

Later, Lu Yifeng came to see me once, telling me Shen Xinyue had been fired by Fu Shen.

He also mentioned that Fu Shen had been in a bad state recently, got drunk yesterday, and got into a fight.

I really have no fondness for Lu Yifeng, so I coldly said, “If he’s hurt, he should go to the hospital. Telling me is useless.”

I understood his intention, merely trying to plead for Fu Shen.

But the root of the issue was never Shen Xinyue.

Shen Xinyue is certainly despicable, and even if she is scorned by everyone, she is not worthy of pity.

But the man who cheated is the true source of sin.

Without Shen Xinyue, there would still be others.

Once a man indulges in lust, it’s not so easy to quit.

And I have no interest in being a resentful woman.
