At an auction, Lin Mu bid to keep the lights on and snatched a diamond necklace worth tens of millions from Fu Yunxi.
She had designed the necklace, but he had bid against her just to please the woman he loved.
He accused her of spending his money, but his assistant told him that his wife was worth a fortune and hadn’t spent a single cent of the Fu family’s money.
He suspected she had another man.
She placed a divorce agreement in front of him.
“I’ll leave with nothing. I just hope you’ll sign quickly.”
Did she really want to be with another man? He wouldn’t let her have her way, but she fought him with her life.
He mocked her with the cruelest words he could find, every one of them cutting to the bone.
She didn’t bother arguing. She knelt in the Fu family ancestral hall for twelve hours to show how determined she was to leave.
At last, he flung the divorce agreement at her face and told her to get out. She was never to set foot in the Fu family home again, lest she sully its floors.
She smiled calmly, took the agreement, and left without looking back.
The moment she stepped out of the Fu home, she was free, with the worst behind her.
He regretted it, but his pride kept him from backing down.
Later, he humbled himself and begged her to take him back.
She raised her chin, wearing the victorious air of a winner, and simply asked, “Mr. Fu, affection that comes too late is worth less than grass.”
