The evidence was overwhelming, and with my father's furious intervention, Lu Jianjun was completely panicked. He knew that with things escalating to this point, divorce was a foregone conclusion. Moreover, if the truth about him delaying my college education got out, his reputation and future would be ruined!
In the end, he could only grit his teeth and agree to the divorce.
With my father's strong involvement, the divorce proceedings were completed swiftly. As for the division of assets, I didn't want that dilapidated house in the family compound; I only took back my dowry and insisted that Lu Jianjun pay me five hundred yuan as "compensation for emotional distress" in exchange for not pursuing the notification incident.
The moment I received the divorce certificate, it felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from my shoulders, and the sky above me had turned bright!
Goodbye, Lu Jianjun! Goodbye to that nauseating past!
I didn't leave the military immediately; instead, I continued running my Su's Bun Shop in town. Business flourished, and I opened several branches. I even started considering other ventures, like clothing manufacturing and wholesale of small goods. In the 1980s, opportunities were everywhere for those with vision and courage!
Seeing my business thrive, my father was completely at ease and supported me wholeheartedly. My mother transformed from being worried to feeling proud. My younger brother looked up to me as an idol.
Occasionally, I would hear news about Lu Jianjun and Bai Ling.
It was said that Lu Jianjun became increasingly despondent and irritable due to the pressure from my father after our divorce and his damaged reputation that left him with no hope for promotion.
As for Bai Ling, without my "support" and losing Lu Jianjun as her backing, her life became quite miserable. I later heard that she was unwilling to accept her fate and tried to seduce other officers but ended up getting beaten by someone’s wife, causing quite a stir before she left the military in disgrace and vanished without a trace.
As for Wang Guixiang and Lu Jianguo, their lives worsened without Lu Jianjun as their pillar of support.
Hearing all this brought no stirrings in my heart. Evil people have their own downfall; their fate was self-inflicted.
Time flew by quickly, and before I knew it, several years had passed.
My business empire had long surpassed that little bun shop. I seized the wave of reform and opening up by establishing a clothing factory, investing in real estate, and even venturing into the emerging electronics industry. My Su's Enterprises had become a well-known private enterprise within the province. I, Su Qinyu, transformed from a despised abandoned woman into a respected and confident independent businesswoman.
My parents had long retired and were enjoying their later years in a big house I bought for them in the provincial capital. My younger brother graduated from university and joined my company as a capable assistant.
I did not remarry. After experiencing one failed marriage, I viewed relationships with indifference. Perhaps I would meet someone suitable in the future, but for now, I enjoyed the feeling of being in control of my own life.
Occasionally, I would return to that small town where I once suffered pain due to the military base. The town had changed significantly; tall buildings rose up everywhere, and traffic filled the streets. The old Su's Bun Shop was still operating, now a landmark managed by one of my loyal employees whom I had hired back then.
One day at the entrance of the old shop, I unexpectedly ran into Lu Jianjun.
He looked much older now, dressed in worn-out clothes with thinning gray hair and murky eyes—no longer resembling the spirited officer he once was. It was said that he suffered an injury during a training accident later on and retired early with a meager disability pension; his life had become quite miserable. When he saw me, his gaze was complicated; he opened his mouth as if to say something but ultimately just lowered his head and walked away silently.
In that moment, I felt neither hatred nor pity—only a profound sense of calm.
We were now people from two different worlds. The entanglements and revenge had long lost their meaning.
Looking at the bustling scene before me and reflecting on every detail since my rebirth filled me with emotion.
It was that desperate death that gave me a chance to be reborn; it was that deep-seated hatred that fueled my drive to change my destiny. Yet, in the end, I was not consumed by hatred; instead, I transformed it into fuel for my journey forward.
Relying on my own wisdom and hard work, I gradually reversed the course of my life, punished the wicked, protected my family, and realized my own worth.
The sunlight poured down on me, warm and comforting. I knew that my extraordinary life was just beginning. The road ahead is still long, and there may be storms to weather, but I am no longer afraid.
Because I have learned how to ride the winds and waves, mastering my own course.
In this vibrant decade of the 1980s, this fiery era will ultimately leave behind a brilliant mark belonging to me, Su Qinyu!
