Chapter 9

After divorcing Gu Ze, I sold off some of my properties and enthusiastically started my own studio.

Choosing a location, decorating, hiring, promoting, finding partners-I was so busy I barely had time to breathe.

Often, with my hair tied up, a quick swipe of makeup, and a bun in my mouth, I’d rush straight to the company and dive into work.

When Su Qing stormed in looking for me, my studio team and I were popping champagne, celebrating the successful completion of our first major project.

“Shu Jia, you wretch, what was your intention in sending those things to my mentor and parents?!”

I casually cleaned my ear and replied softly.

“Why so loud? Is it something to be proud of?”

Su Qing was taken aback by my words. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed my studio colleagues craning their necks from the second floor to watch the drama unfold. She took several deep breaths and cursed quietly.

“If you have the guts, come at me directly. Playing dirty tricks and dragging my parents into this-are you trying to drive them to despair?!”

After the divorce, I specifically spent money to investigate Su Qing’s family background and academic situation.

Upon learning that Su Qing’s parents ran an educational training institution, I wasted no time in printing and organizing her chat records with Gu Ze, along with video and audio from the dashcam, and sent them to her parents.

When I found out that Su Qing had neglected her studies since being with Gu Ze, and her mentor was already dissatisfied with her, I quickly sent a copy to her mentor as well.

B University, a prestigious institution with a century-long history, places great importance on student conduct. Su Qing’s situation caused quite a stir on campus.

The school decided to expel her, destroying years of hard work in an instant.

Moreover, Su Qing’s parents’ training institution lost its clientele due to her scandal and is now facing closure.

Su Qing’s father was so furious he fell ill, while her mother cried at home, too ashamed to show her face.

These matters, even if Su Qing hadn’t come looking for me, I was well aware of.

Looking at the furious Su Qing in front of me, I smiled and said.

“Didn’t you tell me you didn’t care about these worldly rules? Why are you so upset now? Is your ‘true love is innocent’ theory not being recognized?

“Now you want to be a filial daughter, but when you were interfering in someone else’s relationship, being the other woman, did you not consider your parents’ reputation? Since you made those choices, you must naturally face the consequences.”

Su Qing, provoked by my words, lunged at me to fight.

I glanced at her slightly protruding belly and swiftly dodged to the side.

“If you’re smart, you’ll keep a low profile and protect the child in your belly, clinging tightly to Gu Ze like a lifeline. Otherwise, you might end up with nothing.”

Upon hearing this, Su Qing calmed down, glared at me fiercely, and gritted her teeth.

“Shu Jia, you won’t be smug for long. I’ll soon become Mrs. Gu, and I’ll be a hundred times more glamorous than you!”

I smiled and replied.

“Then I’ll be waiting to see.”
