Chapter 1 — Caught Red-handed

Su Meng felt hot, very hot.
Her body felt as if it was ablaze in a wildfire. Her consciousness was slipping away.
All of a sudden, an icy touch brushed against her. Without a care, she clung onto the source.
How soothing....
She opened her eyes again and looked around the unfamiliar room. Her head was like mush. She couldn’t remember anything.
Yet, the scent in the air and her languid body reminded her of the sin that she had committed yesterday.
If her husband, Zhao Zhijun, knew of it, her life would be over!
As soon as this thought flashed across her mind, a loud knocking sound resonated. At the same time, she heard a known voice calling her.
“Su Meng, I know that you’re inside! Open up! Open this damn door right now!”
It’s him!
Her body shivered, and her mind went blank.
What to do?! What to do?!
Before she could come up with ideas to deal with the situation, the angry Zhao Zhijun broke through the door. A herd of people flooded the room.
Besides Zhao Zhijun, there were also Su Meng’s parents, relatives, and friends.
Without the need for an explanation, Su Meng’s current state already stated the obvious. Everyone knew what she had done last night.
His eyes reddened with fury, and a vein bulged from his neck. Zhao Zhijun glared at Su Meng as he raised a hand and struck her cheek. “You tramp! You shameless skank!”
His slap was quite forceful. Su Meng’s head was still ringing. Her face turned numb.
Ignoring the pain and shame, she wrapped the bed blanket around her, dropped to the floor, and hugged Zhao Zhijun’s leg. “My love, I’m sorry. I’m sorry! Forgive me, please! Aaah!!”
“You bitch! How dare you ask me to forgive you! I’ll beat you to death right now! How dare you cheat on me!” Zhao Zhijun raised his leg and viciously stomped her, rendering Su Meng immobile for a long while.
After they had witnessed this, the bystanders finally moved and rushed up to stop Zhao Zhijun, afraid that he would lose his rationality and kill her.
Restrained like an angry bull, Zhao Zhi Jun hollered at Su Meng, “Su Meng, we’re over! Don’t even think for a second that I’ll take you back!”
Su Meng’s heart ached with guilt and regret. Tears streamed down her face.
Despite the searing bruise on her chest, she nonetheless retorted with whatever breath left within her, “No!”
They had originally divorced to buy a house and promised each other that once the house was bought, they would remarry again. She had just received the house yesterday, so why did it turn out like this?!（TN* In China, the mortgage rate and down payment for people’s second house are significantly higher than that of the first one, and so many opt to get a divorce in order to bypass the policy and buy the house at a cheaper price.)
Just then, someone from among the crowd abruptly shouted, “Aunty!”
Su Meng’s mother was not in the best of health. Upon seeing her daughter do such a disgraceful act, she had passed out from mortification.
The scene became chaotic.
Beyond the hotel doors was the loud siren of the ambulance, but just a few steps back stood a calm Zhao Zhijun and a young woman locked in an embrace.
“Babe, what a brilliant scheme. After today’s commotion, our relationship can surface.”
If Su Meng was beside them, she would immediately recognize the woman in Zhao Zhiijun’s arms. The woman was none other than her university roommate, Liu Liyun.
With exquisite makeup on her face, she curved her bright red lips in a smug smile and kissed Zhao Zhijun. “Hubby, I love you. May we never part for life.”

Chapter 2 — Divorce

Hai City's Number One People's Hospital.
With reddened eyes, Su Meng nervously stared at her mom who lay motionless on the hospital bed, oblivious to the condemnation of her relatives.
The only thing that she wished for was for her mom to be alright. Otherwise, she would never be able to forgive herself.
Time ticked by slowly as if minutes were years. She hadn't known how long she had waited before she glimpsed her mom's finger twitch. Su Meng even thought that it was a mere trick of the eyes.
A moment later, her mom gradually opened her eyes, and Su Meng jumped for joy. "Mom!"
Upon hearing Su Meng, everyone surrounded them and began to chatter, "She's awake! She's awake!"
Su Meng helped her mom carefully sit up, noticed her chapped lips, and placed a cup to her mouth. "Mom, here. Have some water."
All of a sudden, Mama Su violently shoved her and chided, "Get out of my sight! Get out right now! I don't have a shameless daughter like you!"
Su Ment fell to the floor, and tears gathered in her eyes. "Mom..."
Mama Su pointed to the door and shouted, "Scram!"
Su Meng's stepfather held his quivering, ashen-faced spouse, looked at the pitiful Su Meng, and waved her away. "Meng Meng, you should leave. Don't make your mom any angrier."
The other relatives dragged her out the room and added, "Meng Meng, be good. Your mom's still not feeling well. Don't provoke her!"
Su Meng wiped the tears from her eyes and replied, "Mom, I'm leaving then. I'll see you later!"
Before Su Meng could finish, Mama Su had thrown a cup at her feet and screamed, "Get out!"
Fatigued, Su Meng returned home only to see a sullen Zhao Zhijun sitting on the sofa with two full suitcases by his feet.
Tears instantly streamed down her face. She gripped onto shoe shelf to prop herself up and pleaded, "I know that you won't believe me no matter what I say, but I have to say it. I was with Liyun last night at the hotel to retrieve something. It was Liyun who drugged me! To think that she was this conniving all along!"
Last night, Liu Liyun had called her to accompany her to get something from the hotel. The two of them had been roommates during their senior year, so Su Meng hadn't thought much about her request. When Su Meng had entered the room and drank a glass of water, she passed out shortly after.
She couldn't understand why Liu Liyun would do such an evil thing to her.
Zhao Zhijun coldly laughed. "Don't push the blame onto another person. I already packed your things for you, so get out! I never want to see your revolting face again!"
Su Meng's face instnatly paled. If not for the shoe shelf, she would falter.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the grief welling up inside of her, and responded, "I'll leave, but give the other house back to me. Our savings shall be equally split."
Zhao Zhijun looked at her as if she was psychotic. "You nuts?! We are already divorced! The house and money belong to me! What do you mean by equally split?"
Su Meng glanced at him in utter disbelief and snorted, "Our new house's down payment of 2,000,000 was paid by my father! It's his hard-earned money! The other house was also paid with my old house's demolition and relocation money! How can you be so cruel?!"
Su Meng was a native of Hai City. Her father had passed away when she was in university, and her grandmother had passed a year ago. Her mother and her father had divorced long ago; thus, her father's and grandmother's inheritance were passed onto her.
The old house which her grandmother had left her had been demolished this month. The indemnity was 8,000,000 and an apartment.
Recently, Hai City passed a policy that limited the number of houses one could buy. The housing prices inflated excessively from an average of 50,000 per square meter to 60,000 square meter.
Zhao Zhijun had said that with the rapid inflation, putting 8,000,000 into the bank was a waste and that they should invest in another house instead. The plan had been for them to divorce, use Zhao Zhijun's name to receive the 30% deduction in down payment, and Su Meng would be able to buy another apartment.
Noticing the boom of the housing market, Su Meng had instantly agreed to Zhao Zhijun's idea.
As a result, their circles of family and friends had joked about how they were obsessed with house buying.
Because it had been a fake divorce, the two had their divorce certificates but still lived together. Their money and houses had not been legally divided.
Who would have thought that something such as yesterday would ever happen.
Zhao Zhijun threw his phone on the table, crossed his arms across the chest, and glowered at her. "Don't even think about trying to take a cent away from me! Otherwise, the only thing that you'll get is this picture!"
Zhao Zhijun's phone displayed a picture of Su Meng. It was when Zhao Zhijun had coaxed her to take a picture of the bed scene.
Su Meng was flabbergasted.
Was this all his doing from the very start?

Chapter 3 — Leaving the Country

Dazed, Su Meng stood by the roadside with her luggages. She realized that she had nowhere to turn to.
Her mother was sitll angry with her, and she did not want to further upset her sick mother.
Not to mention, that wasn't her home. It was her stepfather's.
The keys to the two houses were in Zhao Zhijun's possession. She could not enter.
Therefore, the only place that she could stay at was the hotel.
She had just founded a nearby hotel and prepared to book a room, but then realized that she did not have sufficient balance in her Alipay account.
She could only shyly mutter to the desk receptionist who was growing more impatiently, "Sorry. Really sorry." Dispirited, she dragged her luggage out of the hotel.
She found an ATM machine and checked every single card in her wallet. To her dismay, most of her money had vanished. Her available balance had been reduced to two digits.
Holding her bank cards, she slid to the ground, buried her head in her arms, and sobbed miserably.
Zhao Zhijun knew the pass code to her cards, and they were all bound to his phone number. Therefore, he had to be one who had withdrawn all her money.
She had trusted him unconditionally in the past, but after today's ordeal, she had realized just how stupid she had been!
She and Zhao Zhijun had known each other for 8 years, dated for 6, and been married for only half a year. She had poured her heart out for him, yet he had treated her so cruelly. Did he really want her to end up with nothing?
Su Meng had continued to crouch down and cried until the phone rang.
She didn't want to pick it up at first. She just wanted to be at peace, but the phone continuously rang, and she eventually picked it up.
The caller was her best friend, Yuan Xinlei.
Upon hearing Yuan Xinlei's voice, her eyes grew misty again and she could no longer control the grievance welling up inside her. "Lei Lei, wah!"
Yuan Xinlei immediately grew anxious after she had her cry. "Where are you right now? I'm coming to get you. Stay there and don't move!"
Su Meng reported the address to her and within half an hour, she spotted her bright red sports car.
Yuan Xinlei looked at Su Meng pitifully standing by the roadside with luggage and bags around her. Her eyes immediately reddened, and she rushed up to hug Su Meng.
She then helped Su Meng put her belongings in the car and handed a tissue to Su Meng who was still tearing up. "What happened?"
Su Meng subsequently told everything that had happened to Yuan Xinlei.
Yuan Xinlei had always treated Su Meng like a sister. After she had heard her being bullied by Zhao Zhijun to this extent, Yuan Xinlei grew livid, turned her car around, and drove Su Meng to Zhao Zhijun's house. Along the way, she also called a few of her bodyguards over to help.
They knocked on the door, and to their surprise, the one who opened it was none other than Liu Liyun in a nightdress.
Su Meng immediately snapped out of her daze after she had glimpsed Liu Liyun and connected the dots.
Liu Liyun's apperance was the last straw for Su Meng. She grew so furoius that she completely lost her rationality and raised a hand to grab Liu Liyun by the hair. "Liu Liyun, you bitch! How dare you and that bastard Zhao Zhijun swindle me!"
However, Liu Liyun was no sheep either. She avoided Su Meng's grasp and, in retaliation, slapped her. "Su Meng, don't blame me just because you can't control your man! Zhijun was long sickened by your whiny, boohoo, princessy attitude!"
Yuan Xinlei could no longer tolerate the scene anymore and viciously kicked Liu Liyun. She then motioned the bodyguards behind her and commanded, "Smash this place up!"
The five to six burly bodyguards marched into the house and with no regard to the shrieking and growling of Liu Liyun and Zhao Zhijun, they made a complete mess of the room. While they were at it, they also brought back the phone stored with Su Meng’s photos.
Yuan Xinlei's family background was quite prominent, and she wasn't someone an ordinary person like Zhao Zhijun could afford to offend. With their house in a mess and their bodies injured, they could only quietly suppress their indignation.
Yuan Xinlei looked at the expressionless Su Meng smashing Zhao Zhijun's phone to smithereens and warily asked her, "Meng Meng, I already asked my lawyer. The chances of getting back your houses and money are slim. Do you want to travel abroad with me and put this all behind you?"
Su Meng glanced at the cloudless blue sky and nodded. "Yeah."
This place no longer had anyone nor anything worth lingering around for. Going abroad might be a good idea.
That day, at the international airport of Hai City, there was one more heart-broken woman on board the plane bound for F Country.
