Chapter 40: Prenuptial Agreement
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It wasn’t even time for work yet, and she was already rushing to the office to look for her adulterer? Was their relationship really that passionate?
I couldn’t suppress my emotions, so I went to the washroom and found a cubicle. I locked the door, put on my earphones, and opened the surveillance software on my phone.
The image of the bald man’s office instantly appeared on the screen.
He was sitting behind his luxurious desk while my wife was standing in front of it.
Almost at the same time, his voice traveled into my ear. “Take this card. There’s 500,000 yuan on it. Go buy whatever you want to buy. Don’t mistreat yourself.”
My wife took it.
I watched with fury.
She was really willing to accept his money!
But it was also a good thing. The more money she had, the more compensation I would receive when we got a divorce in the future!
However, in the next moment, she did something unexpected.
With a crack, she snapped the card in half in front of him!
The bald man’s expression froze. After a while, he managed to utter, “Qingqing, what do you mean?”
The wife threw the card on the desk and said coldly, “Lu Derui, I’ve had enough! You’ve brushed me off again and again, and you’ve used money and gifts to tie me down. Who do you think I am? Do you think all I care about is money? I’ve endured all this time. But now, I don’t want to endure it anymore!”
The bald man’s expression changed. “Lower your voice! What do you want to do?”
My wife said heavily, “I’ve already told you very clearly what I want that day! It was because of you that I ended up like this today. What do you mean by this now? You promised me that you would get a divorce, but you delayed it for so long! You have to give me a clear answer today!”
I was dumbfounded.
But at the same time, I realized why my wife hadn’t gone to look for Qiqi the other day when he had gone missing.
That day, she had confronted the bald man and forced him to divorce his legal wife!
It was such an “important” matter. No wonder she refused to leave to find Qiqi!
Unfortunately, the bald man didn’t give her a clear answer.
At the same time, I understood why my wife had suddenly taken the initiative to ask me to move back to the master bedroom.
It wasn’t guilt or compensation!
She was doing it out of spite!
She was furious with him for refusing to get a divorce and wanted to use me to infuriate him!
Unexpectedly, I rejected her and she didn’t succeed!
This was trouble!
Was she really going to fall out with the bald man like this?!
Wouldn’t my plan fail then?!
The bald man suddenly stood up, walked to the door, and locked it.
Then he turned around and said unhappily, “Yu Qing, since when did you learn to use such methods? You didn’t mention it over the phone, you didn’t mention it at my place, but you came to my office to make a scene?”
My wife’s eyes reddened. “If I have a solution, would I need to say this? How long have you been delaying this matter?! Now that I have a child, my stomach will swell over time, but my child’s biological father can’t be with me. If I drag it out until the day the baby is born, will I let the child call that useless bum, daddy?”
I clenched my teeth so hard that I was about to shatter them!
After eight years of relationship, in the end, I was just a useless bum to her!
The bald man walked to her and hugged her gently from behind. He said gently, “Don’t I always accompany you and the baby now? I’ve been spending more time with you than with my wife lately. You should understand my difficulties.”
My wife choked with sobs. “What’s the use of just being with me? What the child needs is a legitimate father! In the future, when the child is born, will others call him a b*stard then?”
The bald man coughed softly. “Why would that be the case? No one knows that this child is yours and mine. Even if we aren’t married, don’t you still have Zhang Teng with you? Let him be a substitute father for the time being. Everything will be fine.”
My wife suddenly spun around and looked at him in disbelief. “What do you mean? Are you not getting a divorce?”
The bald man was shocked. “Of course not! Sigh, I wanted to wait until everything was settled, but since you’re so impatient, I better speak first.”
My wife asked in surprise, “What is it?”
The bald man said seriously, “You know that my wife is the reason why I managed to have my status and reputation today. So if you insist on getting a divorce now, there’s only one outcome.”
My wife subconsciously asked, “What will happen?”
The bald man said slowly, “I will lose all my assets and status. In other words, I can get a divorce for you, but once we get a divorce, we will have to live a tough life. All the houses, money, and assets will disappear. We can only stay in the new house you bought and live an ordinary life. Moreover, I will definitely not be able to find a good job. Therefore, our living expenses will have to come from the money I gave you.”
My wife asked in surprise, “Why?”
The bald man sighed. “You’ve heard of a prenuptial agreement, right?”
My wife exclaimed, “Could it be that you and she…”
The bald man hissed hatefully, “When I married her, she forced me to sign a prenuptial agreement. If I choose to get a divorce now, then I can only leave the marriage with nothing.”
My wife’s face turned pale and she didn’t know what to say.
How could I not understand her thoughts?
She had chosen the bald man for wealth and status.
If she lost all these, how could she accept living with an old man for the rest of her life?!
