At night, the stars are twinkling brightly.
A red top-of-the-line Ferrari whips past on the road, stirring up a gust of wind.
Inside a luxurious villa, where every detail is tastefully designed and every piece of décor is meticulously chosen.
From a bedroom, moans echo out.
On the plush, white bed, two naked bodies intertwine with one another, rhythmically engaging in the most primal of human activities.
"Ah Zheng, we can't Ah Zheng, this is your place, what if Tingting comes back?"
Upon hearing those two words, the man on top furrows his brows unhappily, increases his effort with even more vigor.
"Don't mention her, it ruins the mood!"
"Ah! Ah Zheng, no, hm, Ah Zheng..."
The woman, playing coy, sneaks a glance at the man's disgruntled face, taking some satisfaction in it.
Guo Ting, you're nothing more than a rich Missy, aren't you? Without that title, you're nothing!
Suddenly, the door gets kicked open with a bang. Two figures storm in, livid.
"What are you two doing?" Guo Ting rushes in, her fury skyrocketing as she takes in the view of two naked figures on the bed.
One is her best friend, who she treats like a sister, and the other is her husband of two years. It horrified her that they would take advantage of her absence to commit such an act.
"Ah!" The woman screams, hastily grabs a blanket to cover her naked body, fearfully hides behind the man, trembling uncontrollably but couldn't resist making an explanation: "Tingting, I'm sorry, don't blame Ah Zheng. It's you, you have yet to give birth to a child after two years of marriage. You know how much Ah Zheng wants a child, so he..."
Guo Ting's mind was blank. Was this all because she didn't bear him a child? He had gone to bed with her best friend because of that?
She found it amusing, it was Zhang Zheng himself who had said that her company had just taken off and he didn't want her to get pregnant because he worried about her being overworked. He thought the business should be put on track first.
She believed him, but what had started as a two-year contraception turned out into a distant relationship. The company was thriving but he always made excuses - too many tasks, being tired, and more - to avoid touching her. Excuse me, was it her fault? Could she not bear children, or did she refuse to give him a child?
She stared at the man on the bed deeply, needing to ask him: was this her fault?
"Enough!" Zhang Zheng casually put on his robe, gave a cold laugh, held Xiao Lu in his arms, and kissed her forehead gently in front of Guo Ting, saying softly, "Darling, wait for me to take care of this issue.”
Xiao Lu glanced at Guo Ting worriedly but nodded.
Watching them express their love so unscrupulously, Guo Ting charged over furiously wanting to slap both of them.
Zhang Zheng grabbed her hand swiftly and pushed her away harshly, saying with a disgusted face: “Look at your disgusting face, it’s completely unappealing! Guo Ting, I’ve had enough of you, we’re getting a divorce!”
Some white papers fell from the sky and landed on Guo Ting.
Seeing the word "Divorce Agreement" written on the white paper and thinking about what he had just said, that her disgusting face made him lose his appetite?
She couldn’t help but touch her own face. This face had always been her pride, because it was an alluring and captivating face that when she smiled, men around the globe would go crazy for her. When she cried, they shed tears for her. But now, this face nauseates him?
She looked at Xiao Lu subconsciously. Her face was not as disgusting, not coquettish, not bewitching, just pure. Her watery eyes were enough to hook any man's protective instinct.
So, it turns out Zhang Zheng liked this kind of women. She must have been blind to give up so many other good men and foolishly clung onto this twisted tree named Zhang Zheng.
She tightly gripped the divorce papers, stood up from the ground with a cold laugh: “Very well, Zhang Zheng, don’t regret your decision today. Don’t forget, Hua Cai Group is my Guo family's asset. Although my father has passed away, Hua Cai Group is still mine. Since you want to divorce me, be prepared to leave with nothing. You cheated and betrayed me today. I have a hundred ways to ruin you both, the adulterous couple!"
With that, she turned around determinedly and left.
"This is what you forced me to do! Without me, you're still the same penniless wretch!"
The path was suddenly blocked, behind, there was Zhang Zheng's faint laughter.
"Qian Liang! Why are you blocking me?"
Asking this question, an ominous premonition swept over her. Guo Ting was not stupid, she was even extremely smart. She couldn't possibly be oblivious to the situation, it was just that she hadn't taken the time to consider deeply.
Behind her, Zhang Zheng's voice rose again, "Do you think, that without my consent, you would know about my affair with Lu Lu?"
Guo Ting was taken aback, abruptly looked up at Qian Liang, "Qian Liang, have you been bought by him?"
Qian Liang, originally was her bodyguard left by her father, whenever she went out, he would definitely follow her and protect her, almost knowing everything about her. But she didn't expect that Qian Liang would betray her. She had been careless!
Qian Liang still raised his hand to stop her, but slightly lowered his head, not looking at her.
"Ha, you don't need to force him. He's just under my control. And you, today, unless you sign this contract, otherwise, you will not get out of this villa."
Looking at the contract in her hand, her pupils abruptly contracted, the contract for the transfer of Hua Cai Group's shares?
Zhang Zheng actually wanted to swallow up Hua Cai Group and take all of her fifty-eight percent shares. Without the shares, she would no longer be the chairman of Hua Cai Group.
"What if I don't sign? Do you want to kill me?"
Zhang Zheng propped his chin and thought for a while, mused, "It wouldn't be a bad idea to kill you, with you dead, your company will naturally be mine... but, how could I do such a thing as murder? It's just that your jailed mother, I don't know if she will survive until tomorrow! I heard she attempted suicide in prison again today, if rescue doesn't arrive in time..."
Her mother attempted suicide again!
Thinking about her mother who was sentenced to prison for intentional injury, she couldn't help but tremble all over. She clutched the contract tightly, almost tearing it to pieces.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and, while Qian Liang was distracted, she made a quick dash towards the exit.
As long as she could escape from this mansion, as long as she could get back to her company and immediately call the police, she could save both her company and her mother. She had to break out...
"Ahh!" A forceful push from a hand behind her sent her tumbling down the stairs. She rolled for several seconds before stopping, aching all over from the impact.
She watched as Qian Liang and Zhang Zheng approached step by step, their faces cold and ruthless, her heart wrenched with fear.
Zhang Zheng grabbed her clothes, threw her onto the floor like a lifeless corpse. An intense pain tore through her, and cold sweat soaking the back of her clothes.
With clamped jaws, she braved through the pain, refusing to cry out. She would not show weakness in front of this man!
Abuse — something she'd never experienced before. And today, she was beaten black and blue by the husband she loved dearly. She bore the pain, teeth clenched tight. She showed no signs of mercy, no compromise, no agony.
Blood pooled on the floor, her mind began to blur, and she heard the fear-ridden scream of Xiao Lu. Suddenly, she felt a pang of unwillingness to give up. Was she going to die here? She wasn't able to save her mother yet, nor was she able to fulfill her father's wishes. She couldn't die so easily.
Just when she thought she was going to die, Qian Liang suddenly grabbed her hair and whispered something into her ear...
