Chapter 7: Let’s Talk

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Meng Nianyao was sprawled on the ground. Her mouth was filled with the stench of blood, and the half of her face that had been slapped was already numb.

After a long time, Meng Nianyao looked up at Meng Haotian. Meng Haotian’s eyes were dark and filled with undisguised disgust and indifference. In an instant, Meng Nianyao suddenly grinned. Her laughter grew louder and louder, more and more mocking, as if she had gone crazy.

Meng Haotian, Jiang Shanshan, and Wang Shulan had goosebumps all over their bodies when they heard Meng Nianyao’s laughter. They did not know how to react.

Meng Nianyao slowly got up from the ground. “Meng Haotian, I must have been blind to fall in love with you and love you for so many years! Today, I, Meng Nianyao, swear that if I have any more feelings for you, I’ll jump off this building and die!”

As she spoke, Meng Nianyao’s gaze fell on Jiang Shanshan and then on Wang Shulan. “I will remember everything you have done to me. I will return the humiliation today a hundredfold in the future!”

Jiang Shanshan and Wang Shulan felt a chill run down their spines from Meng Nianyao’s stare. Before they could say anything, Meng Nianyao turned around and left without any hesitation.

The rain outside had gotten heavier, and it was pouring heavily, just like Meng Nianyao’s mood.

As if she couldn’t see the heavy rain outside, Meng Nianyao walked out without any scruples. The moment the rain hit her, the tears in her eyes fell.

Not far away, a black Cayenne stopped in the rain. The assistant turned to look at the man and handed him a stack of documents. “President Gu, the results of the investigation are out. There’s no information pointing to Meng Nianyao being one of them. Are we going back now?”

The man shifted his gaze away from the documents and looked at Meng Nianyao’s thin figure in front of him. He coldly acknowledged her.

It was raining heavily outside. By the time Meng Nianyao found a place to settle down, she was already drenched. She ignored the probing gazes from the front desk and opened the door with her room card. After entering the room, she sat there for the entire night.

The next morning, Meng Nianyao moved her numb body stiffly. Was she going to continue being dispirited? Was he going to continue torturing himself for a bunch of scumbags? No, she didn’t want to. She couldn’t… She still wanted to live well and see them suffer retribution!

Meng Nianyao struggled to get up from the ground and touched her forehead. It was very hot… She took a taxi to the hospital.

After a whole day, Meng Nianyao’s fever subsided. The nurse came in and said with a smile, “You’re awake? The IV drip is done. I didn’t wake you up because you were sleeping soundly. After you pay the medical fees, you can be discharged.”

“Thank you.” Meng Nianyao responded and got off the bed to settle the bill.

“I’m sorry, this card can’t be used.” The staff at the payment counter returned the card.

“Hm?”

“This card is frozen.”

“Frozen?” Meng Nianyao’s mind was still in a daze. She looked down and saw that this bank card was Meng Haotian’s supplementary card. They had really gone to great lengths. She took out another bank card from her bag. Some time ago, she had accepted a design job. She had wanted to buy Meng Haotian a gift for his birthday this month. She had to thank herself at that time. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even be able to afford the medical fees now.

After leaving the hospital, Meng Nianyao was about to hail a taxi back to the hotel when her phone rang. It was Meng Haotian.

Meng Nianyao, let’s talk.” Meng Haotian’s impatient voice was heard as soon as the call connected.

“Sure.” Meng Nianyao sneered.

Ten minutes later, Meng Nianyao arrived at the place Meng Haotian mentioned.

Meng Haotian didn’t even look at Meng Nianyao. He handed her a bank card and said, “Here’s 20,000 yuan. Consider it my compensation for all these years. Our marriage has come to an end. If you’re sensible, divorce me.”

Meng Nianyao held the bank card and sneered. “I’ve been with you for six years, and you’re sending me away with 20,000 yuan?”

Meng Haotian frowned. “Meng Nianyao, if you know what’s good for you, you’d better get the money and get a divorce. Otherwise, you won’t get a single cent.”

Meng Nianyao threw the bank card at Meng Haotian’s face. “Is that so? If your sincerity is worth only 20,000 yuan, then I won’t get a divorce.” After a pause, she continued, “Of course, I can get a divorce if you want. We’ll split our assets equally. I want my share.”

Meng Haotian didn’t expect Meng Nianyao’s request to be so excessive. He suppressed his anger and said, “Meng Nianyao, don’t go too far. I’ve already done my best by giving you 20,000 yuan!”
