The day his ex-wife, Liu Ruyan, kicked him out with nothing, Lu Jingming signed the divorce papers, surrendering all his assets. Soaked through in the pouring rain, he couldn't even hail a taxi.
Liu Ruyan said, "Lu Jingming, this is as good as your life will ever get."
Su Man said, "You worthless pauper. Get out."
Zhang Mingyuan said, "Ruyan, even saying one more word to a man like him is a waste of time."
They didn't know the Lu family's "bankruptcy" was a carefully planned scheme. Lu Jingming turned around and inherited a trillion-yuan fortune. Three months later, he became chairman of Jingming Group, owner of the tallest office tower in the city.
When his ex-wife wept in a bar and begged him to come home, when Su Man knelt and offered him a glass of wine, and when Zhang Mingyuan's company was driven to the brink, Lu Jingming only smiled and tossed a black, gold-embossed business card onto the table.
"Sorry, but one glass of wine from me now is worth an entire house to you."
But after the thrill of revenge faded, Lu Jingming met Wang Ruoxi, who wore slippers and ate hotpot. She didn't try to please him or fear him. When everyone else was scheming against him, she smiled and said, "You're a pretty nice guy, just a little quiet."
This is a story of betrayal and comeback, and also one of letting go and meeting again. When an old flame returns and a new love is by his side, Lu Jingming finally understands:
True untouchable status isn't about money or power. It's standing right in front of you, where you can no longer hurt me at all.
