Shen Nanxin stumbled back a step, her high heels clicking against the marble floor as she gazed vacantly at the lawyer. "No... it can't be..." Her lips trembled, but no sound escaped.
She collapsed onto the ground, documents scattering like snowflakes around her. Instinctively, she reached out for something to hold onto, but found only emptiness.
The smell of disinfectant in the corridor suffocated her, and the bustling medical staff and patients blurred into a haze before her eyes, none of them noticing the woman who seemed to have lost her soul.
The lawyer bent down, emotionless as he gathered the papers from the floor. "Miss Shen," he said in a tone that remained formal, "please calm down. If you have any objections to the lawsuit, you can resolve them through legal channels."
With that, he turned and walked away, his black suit jacket slicing through the air behind him like a cold arc.
The fear of being utterly alone engulfed her like a tidal wave. She whispered to herself, tears silently streaming down her face, leaving two clear trails on her pale cheeks.
Sitting on the ground amidst the scattered papers, her gaze was hollow as if she had lost everything.
He Chengqing... he was all she had left now.
Panicking, Shen Nanxin fumbled for her phone to call He Chengqing, only to realize it had powered off at some point due to a dead battery.
Despair washed over her as she cried out. Yet all that answered her was the empty corridor and the echo of her own hopelessness.
Shaking, she managed to get up from the floor and stumbled toward the emergency room, only to be stopped by a nurse. "I'm sorry, ma'am, you can't go in."
"I need to see He Chengqing! Let me in!" Shen Nanxin struggled desperately, her voice sharp and piercing.
"Please refrain from shouting here; this is a hospital," a nurse approached with an annoyed tone.
Shen Nanxin lifted her head, tears blurring her vision as she looked at the nurse. Her lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a single word.
She sat slumped on the ground, staring blankly ahead.
A few days later, in court.
Shen Nanxin wore a simple black dress, her hair casually tied back. She looked haggard, her eyes vacant.
She hadn't eaten for several days, her body emaciated and weary, and her once radiant beauty had faded into dullness.
The glaring fluorescent lights made Shen Nanxin feel dizzy. She sat in the defendant's seat, her hands tightly clenched, knuckles white.
The judge's voice reading the indictment buzzed in her ears, but she couldn't absorb any of it; her mind was a blank slate.
"The plaintiff, Fu Ci Ye, accuses the defendant, Shen Nanxin, of maintaining an improper relationship with others during the marriage and of transferring and squandering marital assets... and of repeatedly using marital property to fund others, violating the relevant provisions of the Marriage Law..." The judge's voice echoed in the courtroom.
"I... I didn't..." Shen Nanxin wanted to defend herself but found herself too weak to argue.
"Silence," the judge rapped the gavel, signaling Shen Nanxin to remain quiet.
Fu Ci Ye sat in the plaintiff's seat, dressed in a tailored suit, his expression calm and devoid of any emotion.
Beside him was Lin Zhu, holding a USB drive, ready to present evidence at any moment.
Suddenly, the lights in the courtroom dimmed, and a video appeared on the projection screen.
In the video, Shen Nanxin and He Chengqing were seen in an upscale restaurant, behaving intimately and leaning on each other like a couple deeply in love.
The scene shifted to another hotel where Shen Nanxin personally placed an expensive diamond necklace around He Chengqing's neck while he proudly wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
Shen Nanxin's face turned pale, her body trembling slightly, her mind a blank. Everything around her became blurred, with only the judge's voice echoing in her ears, each word striking her heart like a hammer.
Biting her lower lip, she dug her nails deep into her palm. She wanted to argue, but found herself at a loss for words.
The video continued to play, each disturbing scene piercing her heart like sharp knives.
The next part of the video displayed even clearer evidence of Shen Nanxin and He Chengqing's intimate actions, including multiple records of Shen Nanxin transferring money to He Chengqing. The evidence was irrefutable, leaving Shen Nanxin speechless.
As the video concluded, the courtroom fell silent. Shen Nanxin's face was ashen.
The lights in the courtroom brightened again. The judge looked at Shen Nanxin and asked, "Defendant, do you have anything else to say?"
Shen Nanxin slumped to the ground, staring blankly ahead as tears silently streamed down her cheeks.
The judge struck the gavel, his solemn voice resonating in the courtroom: "I hereby pronounce the judgment for Shen Nanxin: the defendant has committed significant wrongdoing during the marriage; divorce is granted, and she shall leave with nothing!"
"Additionally, regarding He Chengqing's Driving Under the Influence incident, investigations revealed that He Chengqing is suspected of drunk driving and hit-and-run, as well as involvement in multiple fraud cases with substantial amounts." The judge added that He Chengqing's case would be handled separately.
Upon hearing this news, Shen Nanxin trembled all over, unable to believe her ears.
He Chengqing, the man she had loved for so many years, was actually a fraud!
Suddenly lifting her head, a flicker of terror crossed her eyes. It dawned on her that everything she once had—money, status, love—had turned to dust in that moment.
She raised her gaze towards Fu Ci Ye, her eyes filled with desperation.
The lawyer shook his head firmly. "I'm sorry, Miss Shen. Mr. Fu means that you are not qualified to see him right now."
Shen Nanxin helplessly collapsed onto the floor, documents scattered around her.
Despairing tears silently slid down, falling onto the cold floor.
She wanted to tear the documents in her hands apart, but her arms fell limply to her sides, and the papers slipped from her grasp, scattering across the ground.
The lawyer bent down to pick up the documents, brushing off the dust with a calm demeanor.
"Miss Shen, Mr. Fu's retaliation is more thorough than you can imagine. You should sign."
In the cold courtroom, the lawyer expressionlessly pushed a document in front of her.
Shen Nanxin numbly picked up a pen, her trembling hand signing her name on the paper.
She didn’t even bother to read the contents; she knew that no matter what it said, she was powerless to resist. Each word felt like a heavy hammer, striking hard against her heart.
Shen Nanxin collapsed onto the floor, as if all strength had left her. She looked around in confusion, a buzzing in her ears, feeling as though the entire world was collapsing around her.
The bailiff approached Shen Nanxin. "Please come with us."
Shen Nanxin walked out of the courthouse in a daze, the biting cold wind making her shiver slightly; she knew it was over for her.
As she was led out by the bailiff, people around pointed and whispered about her. Shen Nanxin kept her head down, silent, allowing reporters to surround and photograph her. All she wanted was to escape this suffocating place as quickly as possible.
In the crowd, Shen Nanxin's parents stood to the side, watching their daughter in such a pitiful state, their faces filled with disappointment and heartache.
