I married into the family three years ago, and everyone treated me like a good-for-nothing.
I slept in the storage room, ate leftovers, and even had to watch my mother-in-law’s mood just to get two hundred yuan of spending money.
At the wedding, my brother-in-law called me “the former live-in son-in-law” in front of everyone. On the big screen, a humiliating video showed me being slapped and forced to kneel and wipe up spit.
The crowd’s laughter surged like a wave. I was only fit to scavenge discarded leftovers beside the trash can.
My mother-in-law sneered. “My daughter married the heir to Zhao Group. What can you give her?”
My wife, Lin Wanqing, stood arm in arm with the groom. When her gaze swept over me, she looked right through me.
Then news arrived that my family had been wiped out, and the scar at the corner of my right eye began to burn.
The jade pendant my mother left me began to glow. A cold, mechanical voice exploded in my mind:
[Business God System forcibly activated. Sole heir to Longmen, Chen Fan. Verification successful.]
My Eye of Data opened. I scanned my wife: business value, A-; loyalty, F.
A secret agreement: 30% of the Lin family’s shares in exchange for a five-billion-yuan investment from Zhao Group, with a one-billion-yuan penalty clause binding her to the marriage.
I scanned Zhao Group next. Its financial statements overstated revenue by 15.2 billion yuan. Customs records showed actual exports: zero.
Clutching the divorce papers, I stood up from the back row.
My canvas shoes stepped onto the red carpet, my back straightening. The stoop I had carried for three years was forcibly set right in that instant.
The spotlight followed me. For the first time, my wife looked panicked onstage.
I raised my old phone and aimed its screen at the big screen:
“Mr. Zhao, is your family’s mine in the sky?”
The comparison between the customs data and financial statements was like a streak of blood. A securities regulator investigation team was already on its way.
The System displayed a cold mission: SSS-rank, Wedding Counterattack: Reveal the evidence, complete
