After the Divorce

Blurb:

Jiang Rongyu was pampered for more than thirty years: by her parents as a girl, and by her husband after she married.

She lived the ideal life of a modern woman: a successful husband, an adorable child, a home in the capital's most exclusive villa community, and leisurely afternoon tea with the other society wives every day.

Until one day, her husband cheated on her.

Jiang Rongyu wanted a divorce, but all her relatives urged her to put up with it. Men made little mistakes, they said. The child was still young, and at her age, she would never find a better man.

Her husband also refused to divorce her.

With everyone trying to stop her, her cousin advised: You haven't worked in years. Find a job first, then think about divorce.

After more than a decade as a pampered canary, she had nearly become a helpless, clinging vine. Starting out in the workplace was hard, both doing the job and fitting in, but thankfully her boss gave her all the help she needed.

Jiang Rongyu was grateful to him and worked harder and harder. She worked overtime on Valentine's Day, on her husband's birthday, and even on their wedding anniversary...

Unable to take it any longer, her husband stormed into Jiang Rongyu's promotion celebration and cursed out her boss: I knew you two were having an affair! You pretty boy, shamelessly going after my wife!

Jiang Rongyu took a deep breath and slapped her husband: We're getting divorced tomorrow. The child is coming with me.

After security escorted her ex-husband out, Jiang Rongyu apologized to her boss. Sorry, I dragged you into this.

He smiled faintly. It's all right.

Before Jiang Rongyu could breathe a sigh of relief, he added: Since you're getting divorced, how about giving me a chance?

Jiang Rongyu stared at him in stunned silence.

Chu Zhai had secretly loved a girl for ten years. Before he could confess after coming of age, she got married.

He watched her marry, have a child, and build a happy family... and jealousy drove him mad.

Just as he finally resolved to become the other man, her husband cheated on her.

His chance had come.
