A week later, Cold Haocheng was discharged from the hospital.
Cheng Ying had someone prepare a feast, and the family was getting ready to celebrate.
Since Cold Haocheng had been in the hospital for so long, Cheng Ying couldn't keep it a secret. She even went to a temple to pray for Cold Haocheng's safety and made a generous donation for incense offerings to ensure his safe growth.
The morning after Cold Haocheng was discharged, Chu Yun woke up and was unexpectedly surprised to find that Cold Thunder had not gone to the office.
But today wasn't a weekend!
" Cold Thunder, are you worried about Xiao Bei? Don't worry, I'll be with him and watch over him these days," Chu Yun said, still the gentle wife.
"No need."
"What?" Chu Yun was somewhat confused.
"I said no need. You don't have to watch over him or accompany him; you won't need to do that anymore," Cold Thunder replied with a stern expression.
Chu Yun felt uneasy and forced a smile.
" Cold Thunder, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Cold Thunder didn't look at her but instead pulled out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Chu Yun.
When Chu Yun took it and looked at it, she was instantly stunned!
It was a divorce agreement!
" Cold Thunder —are you... are you going to divorce me?"
"Yes."
Cold Thunder did not want to say another word.
" Cold Thunder, why? Why do you want a divorce? Aren't we doing well? We've been together for so many years. I have been filial to your parents, and I have no regrets towards you or Xiao Bei. Why do you have to..."
Cold Thunder looked coldly at Chu Yun. "You say you have no regrets towards my dad and mom, and I agree, but when it comes to Xiao Bei, don't you feel embarrassed saying that?"
"I... Cold Thunder, are you still doubting that I was the one who injected Xiao Bei? You saw the needle was taken out; it doesn't match the ones in my box at all. It's not me!"
Chu Yun pleaded desperately.
Cold Thunder suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"Do you think I don't know about the things you've done behind my back? That box of needles was indeed taken from your drawer, but there wasn't a broken needle inside. That was a lie I made up. You were afraid of being exposed, so you deliberately went to the hospital while I was taking a shower and swapped that box of needles."
Chu Yun's eyes widened in shock!
"When I found a broken needle in my pocket, I knew for sure that you had switched it. If you weren't guilty, why would you do such a thing?"
"I..."
Cold Thunder raised a hand to stop Chu Yun from speaking.
"I don't want to hear anything more. When Xiao Bei was undergoing surgery, I silently vowed that as long as Xiao Bei could get through this ordeal, I wouldn't pursue anything further. I was willing to let go of all hatred and blame for Xiao Bei's sake. The reason I'm only bringing up the divorce now is that Xiao Bei is still in the hospital, and I didn't want to mention these messy matters."
"No, Cold Thunder, you can't treat me like this!"
Cold Thunder looked coldly at Chu Yun.
"What do you think I should do about you? A woman goes to great lengths to scheme against me, trying to marry into my family at any cost, plotting against my best friend, making her hate me and turning her into a stranger."
Hearing this, Chu Yun felt her legs weaken, and she had to lean against the wall to steady herself.
"I already know everything. Years ago, you tampered with Lu Kenian's car, causing the brakes to fail. The accident was your plan, and it was you who bribed the doctor to have my uterus removed because you have a congenital uterine deformity and cannot bear children."
Chu Yun felt despair wash over her; he knew everything!
"Chu Yun, we have been together for three years. If you had just told me about your congenital uterine deformity, I might have sympathized with you and married you. But instead, you chose such a malicious method!"
Cold Thunder gritted his teeth. He thought he could handle this calmly, but reality proved otherwise.
Chu Yun suddenly knelt before Cold Thunder.
" Cold Thunder, please listen to me! I had my reasons! Yes, I did those things, but don’t you think I’m pitiful too? I longed to be with you, to marry and have children with you, but then the doctor suddenly told me I could never be a mother. Do you know how devastating that is for a girl in her twenties?"
Cold Thunder closed his eyes in pain.
He could understand that it was a devastating blow, and he felt sympathy for her.
"I had no choice! My family was poor since I was little. At my poorest, I had to wear clothes patched up with dozens of stitches to school while being laughed at by classmates. My family favored boys over girls; I knelt at home for a whole day and night, bowing hundreds of times until my head bled just to get my parents to agree to let me go to college."
Chu Yun sat on the ground, crying uncontrollably.
"I really wanted to change my fate. I'm not bad-looking and I study well; why does fate treat me this way? Just when I thought I could marry you, it played such a cruel joke on me."
Chu Yun's voice was hoarse from crying.
" Cold Thunder, I truly love you. If it weren't for loving you, I wouldn't have done so many foolish things! Cold Thunder, I'm begging you for a chance. I promise I'll be a good wife, a good daughter-in-law, and a good mother."
Chu Yun clutched the pants of Cold Thunder, pleading desperately.
"You are indeed pitiful, and you could hide the truth about your infertility, but you absolutely should not have used my best friend!"
Cold Thunder finally began to roar.
"Is that my fault? You can only blame yourself for getting too close to her! Lu Kenian has always had her eyes on you. After graduation, she joined your company and is right under your nose every day. How could I possibly feel at ease? I'm afraid one day she will take you away, so..."
"So you thought of this two birds with one stone plan?! If we're talking about pity, Lu Kenian is more pitiful than you!"
Cold Thunder grabbed Chu Yun by the collar.
"Do you know how hard Lu Kenian worked to achieve everything she has today? She was just like you, wearing patched clothes in her teens, with parents who favored boys over girls. But she worked hard; she never took shortcuts and finally made it to where she is today, only for it all to be ruined by you!"
"I didn't mean to..."
"You still say you didn't mean to! Chu Yun, let's face it, it's because I have money that you're interested in me. If I were a penniless nobody, would you go through all this trouble to want to marry me?!"
Cold Thunder pushed Chu Yun down to the ground.
Chu Yun stared blankly.
"To be honest, I have never loved you. To me, you are just a substitute for Lu Kenian. I once tested Lu Kenian and knew she could never like me, so I chose someone very much like her—someone like you! I was going to break up with you, but unfortunately, you had an accident! I only felt sorry for you!"
