You Said You'd Stay with That Freeloader, So I'll Leave You Alone

On their third wedding anniversary, Lu Chenzhou prepared a whole table of dishes and waited until the steak went cold and the candles burned to ash.

A photo popped up on his social feed: his wife, Liu Ruyan, was throwing a celebration banquet for Chen Mingyuan, the intern she sponsored. The two raised their glasses, smiling brightly. The intern “accidentally” spilled wine on her shoulder, then lowered his head to wipe it away, his fingers brushing her collarbone.

Lu Chenzhou stormed over and punched the intern in the face.

Liu Ruyan stepped in front of him. “Apologize! Or we’re getting divorced!”

Lu Chenzhou smiled. “Fine. Let’s divorce.”

After the divorce, he founded a new company and married the second female lead, who had secretly loved him for years and knew how to respect boundaries.

Then he began a carefully calculated revenge.

Liu Ruyan embezzled company funds for the intern? He left her millions in debt.

Liu Ruyan forgot her mother-in-law’s death anniversary because of the intern? He made her lose everyone around her.

Liu Ruyan said, “He’s more pitiful than you”? He left the intern to freeze to death on the street, where his body went undiscovered in a garbage heap for three days.

At last, Liu Ruyan came to her senses and knelt in the rain, begging him to come back.

With his pregnant wife in his arms, Lu Chenzhou said calmly, “Ms. Liu, shall I recommend a lawyer? It seems you’ve been sued again.”

“Every tenderness you so casually give to someone else is flesh torn from the person who loves you. And by the time you look back, the person who once bled for you has already learned to point the blade at you.”
