The golden sunlight spilled over the delicate beach, while the waves gently lapped at the shore.
This was how life should be.
Unlike before, when every day was filled with endless anxiety and self-doubt.
“Wan'er, what do you plan to do next?”
Zhao Ya turned her head, concern evident in her eyes.
“I don’t know.”
Lin Wan'er shook her head lightly, her gaze somewhat lost.
“Do you remember our promise to travel around the world during college?”
Zhao Ya suddenly exclaimed with excitement.
“Let’s set off right now!”
“Around the world trip?”
Lin Wan'er paused for a moment, then let out a wry smile.
“Where would we get the money...?”
“You don’t have any money? Are you kidding me?”
Zhao Ya looked at her as if she were an alien.
"You are now a super-rich woman with millions!"
Lin Wan'er suddenly remembered that after her divorce, she could indeed claim half of their joint assets, which meant she could get around sixty million in cash. She needed to transfer that money immediately.
Originally, she had planned to cut all ties with Sun Yu and not take anything.
But then she thought, why should she give it up?
This was rightfully hers!
"Then... shall we go for it?"
"Absolutely!"
Zhao Ya exclaimed, jumping up from her beach chair in excitement.
"I’m going to post this on social media! Those people who constantly flaunt their kids and husbands will be so envious!"
As she spoke, she pulled out her phone and started snapping pictures of Lin Wan'er enthusiastically.
Lin Wan'er shook her head helplessly, but a smile crept onto her lips.
This kind of life was truly wonderful...
Meanwhile, Sun Yu rushed back to the office like a madman and called his secretary, Xiao Li, into his office.
"Mr. Sun, you called for me?"
Xiao Li trembled as he asked, his body slightly shaking.
"I ask you, what happened to the sixty million in my account? Did you touch it?"
Sun Yu's eyes were bloodshot as he glared fiercely at him.
Xiao Li looked completely bewildered.
"Mr. Sun, I... I don't know..."
"You don't know? Who else besides you knows my bank account password?"
Sun Yu shouted angrily.
"I'm telling you, hurry up and transfer the money back to me, or I'll make sure you regret it!"
"Mr. Sun, I really don't know!"
Xiao Li was so scared he was on the verge of tears.
"I'm just a small secretary; how could I have that kind of power..."
"Then tell me, where else could this money go?"
Sun Yu grabbed Xiao Li by the collar and lifted him off the ground, as if he were holding a small chicken.
Xiao Li struggled to breathe, his face turning red from the pressure, his feet kicking wildly.
The office door swung open with a loud bang.
Han Xue hurriedly walked in.
"Ah Yu, don't be impulsive!"
She quickly pulled Sun Yu back.
"This matter can only be the work of that b*tch Lin Wan'er!"
Sun Yu trembled with anger.
"She must have deliberately retaliated against me by transferring all my money!"
"But... how did she know your bank account password?"
Han Xue asked cautiously.
"I..."
Sun Yu was at a loss for words.
Indeed, how could Wan'er know his bank account password?
Suddenly, he remembered that he had previously shared the password with Wan'er for convenience...
Could it really be her?
"Impossible!"
Wan'er is so kind; she could never do something like this!
There must be some mistake!
Yes, it has to be that way!
"I can't wait; I need to call Wan'er and get to the bottom of this!"
"Hold on a second,"
Han Xue said, her eyes glinting with a sudden idea.
"We can do it this way..."
She leaned closer to Sun Yu and whispered a few words in his ear.
Sun Yu's eyes immediately lit up.
"Great, let's do it!"
He slammed his hand on the table, a cunning smile spreading across his face.
Half an hour later, Sun Yu used an employee's phone to dial Lin Wan'er's number.
"Hello, who is this?"
The familiar voice of Lin Wan'er came through the phone.
"Wan'er, it's me, Sun Yu."
Sun Yu struggled to suppress the anger boiling inside him, trying to keep his tone as calm as possible.
"Sun Yu?"
Lin Wan'er's voice remained steady and unruffled.
"Is there something you need?"
"Wan'er, I know you're still angry with me."
Sun Yu took a deep breath.
"But we were once husband and wife; you can't treat me like this!"
"What have I done to you?"
Lin Wan'er scoffed lightly.
Sun Yu attempted to play the victim to elicit sympathy.
"I know I've done many things to hurt you in the past. I'm a jerk, I'm not worth anything. Can you forgive me?"
"As long as you come back, I'll do whatever you say."
"I promise I will never associate with Han Xue again. I will transfer all my shareholding to your name. I swear!"
His tone was sincere, as if he was about to kneel and bow to Lin Wan'er.
"Sun Yu,"
Lin Wan'er interrupted him, her voice filled with disappointment.
"Do you still think I left you for money?"
"I... I didn't mean that..."
Sun Yu began to panic.
"What you mean no longer matters."
Lin Wan'er's voice was as cold as ice.
"I have already divorced you."
"Divorce? What divorce?"
Sun Yu was taken aback.
Lin Wan'er said calmly, "Our divorce agreement is tucked inside the share transfer document you signed earlier."
"What did you say?!"
Sun Yu felt as if struck by lightning, recalling the times Lin Wan'er had asked him to sign the equity transfer documents. There were indeed a few papers he hadn't examined closely.
Could it be...
"You had this planned all along, didn't you?"
Sun Yu's voice trembled.
"You tricked me into signing those documents just to divorce me and take my assets!"
"Yes."
Lin Wan'er did not deny it.
"This is what you owe me."
Sun Yu laughed in anger.
"What do I owe you?"
"What do you owe me?"
Lin Wan'er's voice suddenly rose an octave, filled with suppressed rage.
"I stood by you as we built everything from scratch together. We've been married for five years, and I've taken care of you like a maid, looking after your every need. And what about you?"
"Have you ever cared about me?"
"Do you know how much suffering I endured to conceive your child? How many hardships I faced?"
"I take medicine every day, those bitter traditional herbs that make me want to vomit just by seeing the bowl!"
"Every month, I have to go to the hospital for check-ups, enduring those cold instruments going in and out of my body. Have you ever experienced that kind of pain?"
"But what about you? Besides complaining that I can't have children, what have you done?"
"You wouldn't even accompany me to the hospital. You think it's all my fault, that it has nothing to do with you! Don't forget, I was once pregnant too; I lost the baby while protecting you from drinking!"
"And then what happened?"
"Then you cheated on me, getting involved with your childhood friend."
"You think I didn't know?"
Lin Wan'er's voice gradually softened.
"I knew long ago! I just didn't want to expose you!"
"I thought, I thought you were just confused for a moment, that you would eventually come back..."
"But what did I end up waiting for?"
"It was your escalating hurt! It was your reckless betrayal with Han Xue!"
Lin Wan'er poured out the grievances she had harbored for years, tears streaming down her face.
On the other end of the line, Sun Yu fell silent.
He had never realized that Lin Wan'er was hiding so much pain inside her.
"Wan'er..."
Sun Yu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found himself at a loss for words.
"Sun Yu,"
Lin Wan'er's voice rang out again, now calm and composed.
"You don’t need to say anything more. It's over between us."
"Let the past be the past."
"From now on, we go our separate ways and wish each other well."
With that, she hung up the phone abruptly.
Beep... beep...
Listening to the busy tone on the line, Sun Yu completely broke down.
