Looking at the message from my father-in-law, I couldn't help but feel a mix of anger and amusement. I directly replied to him with a photo of my mother-in-law looking for a gigolo.
"You old fool, you really are double-standard," I typed. "Your daughter cheats, and it's my fault for not trying hard enough? Take a good look; isn't this your problem?"
Soon, the day of the cooling-off period came to an end. At the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Qian Mengyao and I processed our divorce with cold expressions. She looked at me with a conflicted face.
"Honey, Liu Guangxiang is about to die," she said. "Can you give me another chance?"
"When he dies, I'll get back together with you," I replied coldly.
I scoffed. "Qian Mengyao, stop dreaming."
"Just sign the papers; don’t waste my time."
In terms of assets, I received eighty percent, and we split the house down the middle. Once everything was settled, I finally let out a sigh of relief. I had finally freed myself from Qian Mengyao.
However, to my surprise, less than two days after the divorce, Qian Mengyao posted her marriage certificate with Liu Guangxiang on her social media. The caption read: "I will love you for the rest of my life."
This announcement instantly set off a storm among those around us. Many were discussing how Qian Mengyao could choose that bastard Liu Guangxiang, who had bullied her in the past.
After divorcing me, she immediately married Liu Guangxiang. Isn't that just pure malice?
I was somewhat surprised. I didn't expect Qian Mengyao to announce it so quickly. Even more unexpected was that she actually dared to marry Liu Guangxiang.
Back in high school, Liu Guangxiang liked to cling to Qian Mengyao. On the anniversary of his mother's death, he gathered a few thugs and surrounded Qian Mengyao, singing and dancing with a smug grin.
Qian Mengyao sat in the middle, crying uncontrollably. I couldn't stand it any longer and ended up fighting Liu Guangxiang. As a result, he left a scar on my forehead with a knife. Because of that scar, I couldn't even get into military school.
Afterward, Qian Mengyao sent a balm to Liu Guangxiang. I thought she was trying to help me out. Little did I know, despite her pure appearance, her heart had long been twisted. She liked Liu Guangxiang, which is why she could still hold onto him even after being bullied by him. And I was just a victim in their romantic saga.
Soon enough, I arrived at my new company for my first day. To my surprise, one of my colleagues was He Lili.
"Long time no see, Master," she said, winking at me with a cheerful smile.
I scratched my head and asked, "Why... didn't you take over your family business?"
He Lili casually replied, "My dad is still in great health."
"I'm out here making my way; if I can't make it, I can always go back and inherit the family business later."
After saying that, she leaned closer to me.
"Master, let's go fishing together tonight."
I sighed a little and replied, "Don't call me Master anymore."
"What should I call you then?"
"You can call me Brother."
He Lili smiled brightly and placed her hand on my shoulder.
The colleagues around us joined in the teasing.
"Oh, Zeng Huayu, you're really lucky."
"With such a beautiful sister like He Lili, you must be secretly delighted!"
"It's always the droughts that die of thirst and the floods that drown."
I looked at these seasoned jokers with a bit of exasperation.
Zhao Bing occasionally chimed in as well.
"Hey, Old Zeng, let me ask you something."
"Are you planning to be a teacher or a husband?"
I shot him a glare and said irritably, "Go play somewhere else."
Zhao Bing stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Well, that's quite the question."
"But He Lili is a real beauty; if you don't seize the chance, someone else might take her away."
I couldn't be bothered to respond to him.
Yet deep down, I felt a bit conflicted.
After all, it was undeniable that He Lili had feelings for me.
I just hadn't figured out whether I should accept her affection.
After all, I had just gotten divorced.
