Chapter 8

“I want a divorce!”

“What?”

“Jiang Ye cheated!”

“What? Wasn’t he on a business trip?”

I chuckled softly, “He went on a business trip with his lover!”

Early in the morning, my three sentences directly stunned Jiang Yuan on the spot.

“Wait, let me get this straight! Are you saying Jiang Ye cheated, and his so-called business trip was actually with his lover? How did you find out?”

I tossed my phone to Jiang Yuan, showing her Tao Meng’s WeChat moments from this morning.

Jiang Ye was dragging a suitcase with one hand and holding her hand with the other.

She happily wrote: [Eloping!]

Actually, I added her just to try my luck.

Unexpectedly, she really accepted.

Whether she knows the person who added her is me or not, it doesn’t matter.

I said to Jiang Yuan, “Jiang Ye is on a three-day business trip. Can I get the divorce agreement in three days?”

Jiang Yuan’s face turned grim, “I’ll draft it for you myself!”

I nodded and reminded her, “Don’t tell Zhou Yiqin!”

Jiang Yuan is Zhou Yiqin’s wife. It’s said that it wasn’t easy for them to be together, and I got to know her through Jiang Ye.

Unexpectedly, we became good friends over time.

Fate is a mysterious thing.

Some people remain strangers forever, while others become close friends instantly.

“I know, don’t worry. Actually…”

“What is it?”

Jiang Yuan hesitated, but finally shook her head.

“Nothing, we’ll talk about it later. How are you? Do you need me to accompany you?”

I declined, smiling bitterly with a sigh.

“I have a flight at ten, I need to go on a business trip too!”

This is the adult world.

Even when you’re sad, you have to find time for it.

I handed Jiang Yuan the photos I took from Jiang Ye’s phone and the surveillance backups.

As well as the details of our joint assets.

The only consolation is that we don’t have children.

Jiang Yuan is very efficient. The afternoon I returned from my business trip, she had already drafted the divorce agreement.

“Even if he’s at fault, it’s impossible for him to leave with nothing. But I’ll try to get you the best deal.”

I opened my mouth.

Jiang Yuan interrupted me.

“Don’t say you don’t want it. He’s at fault, he should make amends. Including the money he gave to the mistress, it can be recovered. Mistakes should have consequences!”

I smiled lightly and hugged her, “I want it, I didn’t say I don’t. Jiang Yuan, thank you!”

She gently patted my back.

“It’s no big deal, just a divorce. I’m here with you!”

That night, Jiang Yuan accompanied me, drinking one glass after another.

We talked about many things.

About the past, the future, hopes, and regrets.

Until we both got drunk and fell asleep on the carpet.

The next morning, I was awakened by the alarm clock.

I took a day off and applied light makeup.

Even if I’m not in the best state, I have to go out.

I need to meet Jiang Ye.
