“Trash, all of you are trash. If you can’t even handle such a small matter well, what’s the use of me raising you?!”
On the top floor of the Wei Corporation’s office building, the President’s office echoed with a man’s furious scolding. The staff outside knew their boss was genuinely enraged today, surprised by the contrast with his usual smiling demeanor.
Liu Su took a direct hit from a flying cup, causing an instant swelling on his head. The force behind the cup’s throw was evident.
Holding his swollen forehead, Liu Su gazed at the ferocious man seated behind the desk. The man continued to berate the employees for their incompetence.
As the man’s assistant, Liu Su couldn’t help feeling despondent. He had thought that the person to lead the Wei Corporation to prosperity would be the man before him, but now he realized the true driving force was the man’s wife, Lin Wan, the eldest daughter of the Lin family. As the head of the Wei family, this man was merely a clueless individual devoid of business acumen.
In that moment, Wei Nan remained fixated on the public relations team led by Liu Su, unable to quell his anger over the events that transpired eight years ago. With the entire alliance’s attention focused on the matter, families of the soldiers involved from eight years ago had taken the lead in boycotting mental strength potions and other products produced by the Wei Corporation. Overnight, the market value of the corporation plummeted by 5%.
Adding to his disdain, the incident of him defying the police and forcefully crossing through a restricted zone a few days ago had not been suppressed. Instead, it had become a trending topic.
Just as Wei Nan seethed with anger, a knock resounded on the office door. The secretary informed him of a document sent by Lin Wan.
“Bring it in.” Hearing that it was from Lin Wan, Wei Nan managed to temporarily quell his anger and instructed the secretary to bring in the document.
However, when he opened the document bag, Wei Nan was taken aback to find a divorce agreement. His anger surged even further. He immediately reached for his Al device to contact Lin Wan, only to discover that he had already been blacklisted by her.
“What is this woman trying to do? Didn’t I just say a few words to her in a fit of anger that morning? Is there a need to ask for a divorce?” Wei Nan tore the divorce agreement apart without thinking and threw it into the trash can. He instructed his secretary, “Prepare the car and return to the old residence.”
“Alright, President Wei.”
Half an hour later, Wei Nan arrived at the Wei family’s old residence. As soon as he stepped out of the flying car, he hurriedly made his way to the main hall. Just as he was about to summon the butler to bring out Lin Wan, he noticed that she was already seated on the sofa, elegantly dressed, waiting for him.
“What’s the matter with you? Just because I uttered a few words to you in anger this morning, you lose your temper and threaten me with a divorce? Do you really expect me to apologize?” Wei Nan’s words caught Lin Wan off guard as she reached for the coffee on the table. She paused for a moment, clearly not anticipating his response. After a while, she burst into laughter. “After being married for so many years, is this how you show your longing for me?”
Wei Nan displayed a look of disdain. “Am I in the wrong?”
As Lin Wan gazed at the familiar face before her, memories flooded her mind— how they had known each other since their youth, how they fell in love during their younger days, and how she used to believe that simply looking at him was enough. Indeed, the human heart was the most fickle of all things.
A sharp pain pierced her heart, as if her body was aiding her mind in forcefully eradicating the good times they once shared.
In disappointment, Lin Wan closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her eyes held nothing but indifference. “You are wrong. I have made up my mind to divorce you. I don’t need you to offer meaningless apologies.”
Wei Nan stared at Lin Wan, hoping to detect any trace of remorse in her expression.
Taking a sip of her coffee, Lin Wan allowed him to scrutinize her. After setting down the cup, she continued, “Mr. Wei, have you seen enough? If you’re done, sign the divorce agreement on the table. I have important matters to attend to.”
Confronted with Lin Wan’s calm and detached gaze, Wei Nan realized she wasn’t joking. Panic surged within him. “Wan, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have lashed out at you in anger. I shouldn’t have…”
“It is too late, Mr. Wei, I don’t love you anymore. In order not to affect the pursuit of your own happiness, let’s get a divorce.” Lin Wan interrupted him with a determined expression..
