On my wedding day, I held a One Million Cash in my hand and handed the Room Card to my husband's first love.
"I've already gotten her drunk; you can just go in."
Lin Chuchu looked at me in disbelief.
"You really gave A-Xing up for a million?"
I blinked. In this day and age, even being a good person raises suspicion.
I took out the small box that the front desk had just delivered and handed it to her.
"Don't worry, he's sound asleep inside. If you're afraid of getting pregnant, just use this."
Lin Chuchu...
With the freshly acquired million in my pocket, I felt overjoyed.
I was already dreaming about buying a house, getting a car, and enjoying life with a young handsome guy.
But just as I took a couple of steps, Lin Chuchu's scream echoed behind me.
My heart skipped a beat. The hotel had such good soundproofing that her voice managed to carry out. Fu Xing truly was the dream husband of all the girls in B City; he was impressive.
Just as the elevator reached the first floor, my old phone in my bag rang.
I pulled out my phone and saw that it was Fu Xing calling.
I had barely been downstairs for two minutes when he was already done?
It seemed I needed to take back what I just said.
"Hey..."
As soon as I pressed the answer button, a man's frantic voice came through the phone.
"Song Shiyu, you really are generous, sending someone to your husband's bed on your wedding day."
"Isn't it right? You waited three years to marry her, and she hasn't married anyone in three years. You two should be together, and I wish you both well."
There was a moment of silence on the other end before his teeth-gritting voice broke through.
"Song Shiyu, if you don't want to die, come back here."
"Alright, alright, I'm coming back right away..."
I said while running out of the hotel.
Ugh, only a fool would go back.
I’m out here living my life with money as the main wife; isn’t that better?
Everyone who knows Fu Xing is aware that he likes Lin Chuchu, but he married me just to please Old Master Fu.
At the beginning of the proposal, I thought the ancestral grave of the Old Song Family was smoking. How could Fu Xing, who commands power in B City, actually say he wanted to marry me?
But soon reality hit me hard. On the day of our engagement, Fu Xing went missing.
Guests and I waited in the hotel for over ten hours before he finally arrived, casually saying, "Sorry, I had something to take care of."
Later, I heard rumors that he had flown abroad to celebrate his white moonlight's birthday, which was why he was late.
I may be poor, but I still have my pride.
I refuse to go through with this marriage!
Right now!
Immediately!
I want to call off the engagement!
But Fu Xing held up the agreement we had signed earlier, which stated that if the Song Family did not go through with the marriage, they would owe an eight million compensation fee.
I was stunned. Who signed this?
My parents lowered their heads among the guests, not daring to look at me.
Suddenly, I realized that I had been sold.
On my engagement day, I, Song Shiyu, went from being the most envied woman in all of B City to a mere clown.
The young ladies who once adored me were now secretly mocking me.
They said I was nothing more than a plaything for Old Master Fu.
I could endure a lot, but this was too much.
So on my wedding day, I handed Fu Xing over to Lin Chuchu in exchange for one million.
As I looked at the money in my hands, I couldn't help but smile broadly.
Before long, I had earned enough—eighty million—to pay off the breach of contract and kick that scumbag Fu Xing out of my life.
Knowing how to make money, I realized that the entertainment industry was currently the most lucrative path.
With my one million, I entered the the Qin Family's entertainment company, which was as renowned as the the Fu Family, ready to become an artist.
Just as I took off my sunglasses to prepare for the audition, I was struck with terror at the sight of the judging panel across from me.
Could someone please explain why Qin Xu, Fu Xing's sworn enemy, was sitting there?
Why was this prince charming not out enjoying life or chasing girls but instead reduced to supporting his own company's events?
Qin Xu looked at me with a hint of amusement and said, "Miss Song, didn't you just get married today? What brings you here?"
I opened my mouth but suddenly found myself at a loss for words.
But people die for wealth, and birds perish for food. To gather the remaining seventy-nine million, I was determined to give it my all.
In that moment, I forced a smile, my heart steady and my face calm as I said, "Yes, President Qin, I just got married today. I left Fu Xing behind to come here for the audition."
I hoped Qin Xu could sense my love for money... oh no, my dedication to my craft.
"Miss Song, please don't joke with me. Next—"
With that, Qin Xu turned to the actors behind me.
But how could I let this opportunity slip away?
As the security guard was about to enter and escort me out, I made a bold move and clung to Qin Xu's leg, crying out, "Qin Xu, have some pity on me!"
"That heartless Fu Xing is celebrating his birthday with his white moonlight during our engagement, and today he’s spending his wedding night with her too. We signed an unfair contract before marriage, and I can't afford the penalty fee. I'm going to end up old and alone in the the Fu Family..."
"What does your fate in the the Fu Family have to do with me?"
Qin Xu replied coldly.
...I didn't expect this man to be so heartless. Gritting my teeth, I shouted, "How can it not be related? I'm carrying your the Qin Family's child!"
The entire room fell silent...
Qin Xu glared at me, gritting his teeth as he said, "Song Shiyu, how did you become even more shameless after marrying into the the Fu Family?"
Seeing that he still wanted the security to take me away, I closed my eyes and pretended to faint.
After a long while, Qin Xu's voice finally broke the silence. "Everyone has left. Song Shiyu, stop pretending."
Qin Xu had grown up with me, so he naturally knew the extent of my stubbornness, unmatched by anyone before or after. To avoid any misunderstandings, he had to send everyone else away.
However, after I agreed to marry his arch-nemesis, Fu Xing, our friendship had come to an end.
I cautiously squinted my eyes and, noticing that the surrounding people had indeed left, I quickly got up from the ground and sat down on the bench next to Qin Xu.
"Qin Xu, I want to enter the entertainment industry."
...
"The the Fu Family is powerful and influential. Why would Miss Song want to lower herself to my the Qin Family?"
"I want a divorce, but the contract states that any money obtained through the connections and channels of the the Fu Family does not belong to my personal property. This is all I have left."
I placed a stack of cash weighing over thirty pounds in front of Qin Xu. This was the money I had earned by selling out Fu Xing.
Of course, according to the terms of the contract, this money didn't belong to me either, so giving it to Qin Xu posed no burden.
"What do you mean by this?"
Qin Xu knew my obsession with money. Seeing me offer him such a large sum was akin to arranging my own affairs after death; his expression turned somewhat grim.
"I want to invest in a company. I want to make money and break free from the the Fu Family's contract, becoming a single noble!"
Qin Xu looked at me with a face full of suspicion.
"If I had known this would happen, why did I marry Fu Xing in the first place? Could it be that I..."
At this point, Qin Xu suddenly stopped speaking. I blinked at him, wondering what was wrong.
"Never mind, take the money back. Uncle Song and Auntie are not in good health; buy them some nutritional supplements. Remember to report to the company tomorrow."
I looked at Qin Xu with teary eyes. This brother was truly amazing. If it weren't for the fact that rabbits don't eat the grass by their burrow, I wouldn't have married Fu Xing at all. Marrying Qin Xu and playing games with him every day would have been so much better!
The next day, I went to work wearing sunglasses, while the trending topics had exploded.
"Shock: Fu Xing slept with Lin Xiaohua on his wedding day."
"Rumor has it that the the Fu Family bride went crazy, causing a scene at the the Fu Family's rival company and claiming she is pregnant with their child."
...
I couldn't help but smirk as I read the notifications on my phone. It's a shame these netizens aren't writing novels instead.
Fu Xing became famous because of his wealthy family, while Lin Chuchu was a rising star in the entertainment industry. As for me, I was just an unknown nobody who didn't even deserve a photo. But this actually made it easier for me to break into the entertainment world.
The the Qin Family truly lived up to its reputation as a powerful company; they took care of everything a newcomer needed.
Since we were going to be on a variety show, the company arranged for us to be trained by a teacher for three months.
During this time, Fu Xing kept calling me, but I rejected all his calls. I didn't have time to battle with him right now.
Men only affect the speed at which I make money.
After we all trained hard, we finally made it to the screen of the Orange Stage. However, as I looked at the judges seated before me, I suddenly lost the desire to participate in the show.
There were four judges in total, three of whom I recognized.
Sitting in the middle was a charming man exuding male charisma with every word and smile; he was not my husband, Fu Xing, who was worth a million.
Next to him sat Qin Xu, and at the end was Lin Chuchu.
I should have been someone of significance in this relationship, yet standing on that stage, I felt diminished, reduced to an idol trainee, wishing I could just turn around and leave.
This show shouldn’t be called "Cheer Up, Girls"; it should be renamed "Die Socially, Original Partner."
When the guests were introduced, Fu Xing initially wore a relaxed smile.
But when the host announced my name, Fu Xing could no longer maintain his composure.
He sat there as the judge coldly pronounced my name.
"Song Shiyu!"
It wasn’t a question but an accusation; even from a distance, I could feel Fu Xing's fury.
The host still hadn’t realized the gravity of the situation and cheerfully asked, "Teacher Fu, do you know our little fairy here?"
His words undoubtedly rubbed more salt into Fu Xing's wounds.
The the Fu Family's wealth was enough to rival nations, yet my newlywed wife insisted on singing and dancing to rap on stage. Where could the the Fu Family save face?
As expected, Fu Xing's expression darkened instantly.
"I know her."
His simple statement drew everyone's attention, and the host looked at me in surprise; after all, not just anyone could catch his eye.
But there I was on stage, muttering "Amitabha."
This man truly had a way of haunting me. There were countless ways to show affection with Lin Chuchu, yet he chose this one.
Sigh, he was the CEO; he had to be ostentatious.
He insisted on participating in the same program as this white moonlight while running into his new wife. This melodramatic plotline was something even novels wouldn't dare to write.
I cast a questioning glance at Qin Xu, hoping he would explain what was going on.
Yet he seemed completely oblivious to my presence, tilting his head with an annoyed expression as he glared at Fu Xing, practically wishing he could kick him off the judging panel.
So on this stage, I was the only one left wounded...
