At a divorce announcement broadcast live across the internet, I became the adulterous wife everyone despised.
My ex-husband coldly pressured me to leave with nothing, while my white-lotus stepsister smiled and handed me a pen.
I signed, then smiled faintly at the livestream camera.
"Mr. Gu, remember today. Within three years, I'll make you beg on your knees to take me back."
The crowd erupted as I turned and walked away.
No one knew that the adorable twins holding my hands were a boy and a girl. The older brother was the king of dark-web hackers, remotely controlling the giant screens at the venue.
His sister was a medical genius, carrying a DNA report that would ruin my stepsister's reputation.
Even fewer people knew what the text message I'd just received said:
A project I'd casually invested in three years ago had now returned 1,824 percent, with a market value of a hundred billion.
Later, my business empire swept across the globe.
My ex-husband was crushed by me at a bidding meeting, then waited all night in the rain, eyes red.
With my handsome new boyfriend beside me, I lowered the car window. "Mr. Gu, you're in the way."
But he stared fixedly at the two adorable children beside me, who looked exactly like him.
My genius son swung his phone. "Mommy, can I take apart the Gu Corporation's firewall for fun?"
My genius daughter held up a test tube. "Mommy, I've finished making the potion to disfigure that bad auntie!"
Later still, at the awards ceremony of a global summit,
I accepted an interview draped in glory. The host asked, "Miss Su, what would you like to say to your ex-husband, who's rumored to still be pursuing you like crazy?"
Under the spotlight, I smiled sweetly at the camera.
"Gu Tingchen?"
"Want to win me back? Sure."
"Start as an intern at my company."
Mr. Gu
