Chapter 2: The Weather Is Good, Let’s Get a Divorce

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Su Lu took the elevator to the parking lot.

She curled up and lay in the back seat of her car. It was only then that she seemed to release all the tension in her body. Tears poured down, and her whole body trembled.

Su Lu knew that Bo Jingshen was a passionate person.

Like a blazing fire, he would warm you when he loved you but scorch you when he hated you.

Since he had vowed to make her pay the price, Su Lu knew he would do it. But Su Lu didn’t expect such revenge.

When they were in love, he cherished her so much that he refrained from touching her. He wanted to save it for the day of their wedding and give her a perfect experience.

But now, he hated her, so he could have her without any mercy in the washroom cubicle.

Su Lu felt a mix of heat and coldness, and in a rush, she sent a message to Secretary Xu: “Yunding underground car park B-137, come quickly.”

Then, she lost consciousness.

Bo Jingshen stood by the window, next to the elevator, with a lit cigarette between his slender fingers.

There was a deep bite mark on the back of his hand that was almost bleeding.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t sensed it before, it was just hard to believe that Su Lu was still… a virgin.

Could it be that the man had never touched her?

The next day, when Su Lu woke up, she saw missed calls and a WeChat message from Gu Xin on her phone.

Glancing at the sunny weather, Su Lu called back, “Gu Xin, the weather looks good today. Let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce.”

Gu Xin paused for a moment and then laughed, “Alright. The weather is indeed nice. I’ll see you later.”

Just as their marriage was a deal between the elders of the two families, their divorce seemed like a joke.

The shackles of their five-year marriage were finally released.

Both of them appeared more jubilant than those who were getting married.

After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Gu Xin reached out his hand to Su Lu, saying, “Su Lu, it has been a pleasant cooperation.”

Su Lu looked at the divorce certificate in her hand and smiled as she shook hands, “Pleasant cooperation.”

She felt relieved.

A woman approached from the side and held Gu Xin’s hand. The woman wore a mask, but her eyes were stunningly beautiful.

It was Chen Yaxi.

Chen Yaxi’s eyes curved as she said, “Well, I’ll take this man then.”

Su Lu smiled and said, “Hurry and take him away. I’m sorry for delaying you both for five years.”

Chen Yaxi looked at Su Lu for a moment and said, “Su Lu, I wish you happiness soon.”

“Thank you for your kind words.” Su Lu nodded.

Then, Gu Xin happily followed Chen Yaxi into the Civil Affairs Bureau. The two of them were about to obtain their marriage certificate immediately.

Su Lu couldn’t help but feel envious.

How wonderful it would be!

To be released from the shackles and be able to turn around and embrace happiness.

But she…

Su Lu suddenly heard the cold voice of a man in her mind.

“I will make you pay the price.”

“Play with me today.”

Her father, Su Yukang, called.

“Come to the Shengyan at seven o’clock in the evening. There’s a dinner party.”

For the past few years, Su Lu had been managing a company on her own. It could be considered her dowry, but the company was not of great significance to the Su family.

Nevertheless, she was still the daughter of the Su family and the daughter-in-law of the Gu family.

Occasionally, her father would ask her to attend some business dinners.

After thinking it over, Su Lu realized that she should tell her divorce with Gu Xin to her father, so she agreed to attend.

At seven o’clock, she arrived at the Shengyan on time.

In the private room, Su Yukang’s voice was stern. “You didn’t even discuss the divorce with me! Do you still remember I’m your father?”

“What’s there to discuss? The agreement clearly states five years.” Su Lu understood her father’s attitude very well.

She was just an insignificant daughter. The family business was the priority.

“I was hoping that you and Gu Xin would live well. The two families could continue to cooperate but look at you! Was Gu Xin’s recent scandal true? You can’t even hold onto a man!”

Su Yukang was furious. He waved his hand and said, “Forget it. You two haven’t made any progress in these years. President Liu is here today. You can have a few drinks and chat with him.”

Su Lu also knew about President Liu. He was forty-two years old, divorced, had a ten-year-old son, and an illegitimate child. Moreover, his ex-wife was a very difficult person to handle.

And Su Yukang thought he would be a suitable match for her remarriage?

Su Lu sneered. “You’re too scheming.”

Su Yukang furrowed his brow. “What kind of attitude is this? President Liu’s company has been doing well these past few years, and he is older and caring for others.”

“If he’s such a great person, why don’t you let Su Jiao go instead?” Su Lu asked coldly.

“Jiao Jiao is still young! Besides, you’ve been divorced once. What’s there to choose?”

Su Yukang waved his hand. “Let’s not talk about that now. This dinner is important. Not only is President Liu here, but there’s also a returnee boss who is preparing to enter the domestic market. If we can collaborate, the prospects are very promising.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the private room opened.

The bald and pot-bellied President Liu politely welcomed someone in. “Please come in!”

“President Liu, you’re too polite. It’s my honor to be appreciated by you.” A deep and magnetic voice sounded, cold and distant, without losing any politeness.

Su Lu’s body froze instantly, and her heart skipped a beat.

Bo Jingshen walked into the private room.

Su Yukang whispered to Su Lu, “This is Bo Jingshen, the boss of the overseas returnees. You should toast to him later.”

Su Lu looked at her father in disbelief.

Back then, her father had used every means to force her to break up with Bo Jingshen in order to make her obediently marry into the Gu family.

She had endured excruciating pain for five years, and now Su Yukang had completely forgotten?

Su Yukang stood up and said, “President Bo is truly talented!”

“You flatter me,” Bo Jingshen looked over indifferently, and his gaze froze when he saw Su Lu.

How could she be here?

President Liu quickly provided him with an answer, “President Bo, this is Mr. Su Yukang, whom I mentioned to you earlier. And this is his eldest daughter, Su Lu.”

Bo Jingshen raised an eyebrow, “Nice to meet you.”

Su Yukang said, “Nice to meet you too.” He quickly made arrangements. “Come, President Liu, sit next to Little Lu, and she will accompany you for a few drinks later.”

President Liu was a slick person. Although he knew that Su Lu was the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, with the recent rumors about Gu Xin and hearing Su Yukang’s words about matchmaking, he understood Su Yukang’s intention.

President Liu looked at Su Lu’s beautiful face and became delighted, his bald head even glowing. He quickly walked over and said, “Alright, I’ll sit next to Little Lu.”

Several more people arrived shortly after, and everyone took their seats.

In the past, Su Lu could always indifferently go through these social events arranged by her father, no matter what they were. But today, with Bo Jingshen present, she couldn’t remain indifferent. She simply wanted to leave.

President Liu was attentively trying to please her, which made Su Lu very uncomfortable.

Bo Jingshen’s meaningful gaze occasionally fell on her, making her feel extremely uneasy.

Bo Jingshen was the focus of this dinner party. There were inevitably people who teased him. “I heard that President Bo is still single? If I had a daughter, I would marry her to you.”

“Doesn’t Mr. Su have a daughter?” someone jokingly remarked.

Upon hearing this, Bo Jingshen, who had been reticent, suddenly looked up and glanced at Su Yukang. “Is that so?”

Bo Jingshen cast a glance at Su Lu.

Su Yukang didn’t notice Bo Jingshen’s gaze and happily said, “Ah! My youngest daughter, Su Jiao, is of the right age, but she is willful and ignorant. I’m afraid President Bo wouldn’t like her.”

Su Lu sneered inwardly. No wonder her father wouldn’t let Su Jiao go for someone like President Liu. It turned out that he had grander ambitions.

Bo Jingshen curved his lips, and a smile appeared in his eyes. “Is that so? Then let’s forget about the youngest daughter. I think your eldest daughter is not bad.”
