Marital problems spiral out of control

Fu Shishen frowned.

This time, Wen Hua took the initiative, staring intently at Fu Shishen.

"Fu Shishen, you're suddenly being nice to me. Are you trying to use me to provoke Jiang Ruan? To make her come back and submit, is that it?" Wen Hua asked directly.

She even looked intently at Fu Shishen, with a certainty in her eyes.

Fu Shishen did not answer, but stood there calmly.

This attitude made Wen Hua realize that she had guessed correctly.

She chuckled softly, a sound of sarcasm.

But her eyes never left Fu Shishen, patiently waiting for his answer.

Wen Hua was surprised when Jiang Ruan turned and left without hesitation.

But once she calmed down, she realized that Jiang Ruan was forcing Fu Shishen to compromise.

Jiang Ruan had used similar tactics when she married Fu Shishen.

At that time, Fu Shishen had no other choice.

On their wedding day, Fu Shishen flew abroad to find Jiang Ruan.

She naively believed that Fu Shishen was doing it for work.

It wasn't until later that I found out it was because of Jiang Ruan.

She's the biggest joke.

The situation is completely different now.

It's only natural that she and Fu Shishen would pursue Jiang Ruan since they were getting a divorce.

Wen Hua and Fu Shishen have been married for seven years; she has loved this man for such a long time.

She knows Fu Shishen's every move too well.

This person doesn't have much patience.

Even if you love someone deeply, you won't allow them to act recklessly.

Jiang Ruan's actions crossed Fu Shishen's bottom line.

She forced Fu Shishen to compromise in this way, so she won't compromise easily.

In a stalemate between the two sides.

Jiang Ruan was naturally no match for Fu Shishen.

And she was Fu Shishen's best tool.

She still holds the position of Mrs. Fu, which is what Jiang Ruan has always dreamed of.

Naturally, Jiang Ruan hated her to the core.

As long as Fu Shishen treats her well, Jiang Ruan will become restless, and she will naturally come back.

Therefore, the initiative now lies with her, not with Fu Shishen.

"Wen Hua, are you negotiating with me?" Fu Shishen asked in a deep voice after a long while.

Wen Hua didn't deny it, and continued, "Yes. Fu Shishen, the initiative is with me now, not you, unless you're going to give up Jiang Ruan, right?"

Fu Shishen's gaze deepened.

Wen Hua didn't mind and continued watching.

"You won't actively beg Jiang Ruan because you won't allow anyone to act recklessly towards you. But Jiang Ruan is sensitive and unwilling to compromise, and she's pregnant, so you're worried about her. Therefore, the only way to achieve the best of both worlds is for you to force Jiang Ruan to come back on her own. And I'm the perfect tool to provoke Jiang Ruan, make her feel scared, and make her give in, isn't that right?"

Wen Hua spoke directly, revealing Fu Shishen's thoughts completely.

"And then?" Fu Shishen asked unhurriedly.

He stood with his hands in his pockets, staring intently at Wen Hua.

The Wen Hua before him was confident and arrogant, unlike the gentle and cautious woman he used to know.

Shining brightly.

In Jiangzhou, you can no longer find people who can confront you directly and negotiate terms without backing down.

I was initially attracted to Jiang Ruan because of her poise and confidence.

His dislike for Wen Hua stemmed from her submissiveness and lack of temper.

But at that moment, Fu Shishen felt that Wen Hua was different.

It felt like we were back when she had just gotten married, before Wen Hua had given up her work.

Confident and radiant.

But on the surface, Fu Shishen remained calm and composed.

Wen Hua's voice came from beside my ear: "I can cooperate with you. But the premise is that you have to sign the divorce agreement first. Three months later, after the child is born, this agreement will be effective immediately. At that time, it will no longer affect your acquisition of the shares."

These were the conditions, and she didn't try to hide them.

"You know very well that Jiang Ruan can't wait that long. And you're even more afraid that something will happen to Jiang Ruan." Wen Hua pinched Fu Shishen's weak spot. "Therefore, the conditions I proposed don't make things difficult for you in any way, and they are the most reasonable solution right now."

Wen Hua remained calm throughout the entire conversation.

But only she knew that when she said those words, her heart was breaking.

After all, we've loved each other for so many years.

Even if it's filled with hatred, it's hatred born from love.

These words are like tearing open one's own wound completely, letting the scabbed wound bleed again.

How could it not hurt?

But by the end, the pain has become so intense that you're probably numb to it all.

She just wanted to leave.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Hua stared intently at Fu Shishen.

Suddenly, Fu Shishen took a step closer, and Wen Hua subconsciously stepped back.

But before she could back away, Fu Shishen grabbed her chin. She frowned but didn't say anything.

"Are you absolutely determined to divorce me?" Fu Shishen asked calmly, his tone devoid of emotion. "Aren't you afraid I'll treat this child badly in the future?"

"Once the child is born, the paternity test results will primarily be yours. Even if you don't like him, you'll still raise him to adulthood," Wen Hua said calmly. "I have nothing to worry about. If Jiang Ruan can't accept this child in the future, he can come to me, and I won't refuse."

It seemed that Wen Hua had considered every possible scenario.

As Fu Shishen listened, his displeasure became even more palpable.

He chuckled and released Wen Hua.

Wen Hua staggered for a moment before regaining her balance, and continued, "Besides, a relationship between three people is too exhausting, and I don't want to get entangled with it anymore."

In the end, her voice was flat and devoid of any emotion.

Because I was truly exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Fu Shishen did not speak.

Wen Hua suddenly laughed: "Fu Shishen, the way you are makes me think you're reluctant to get a divorce."

She took the initiative to step forward, and Fu Shishen did not dodge.

"It can't be that you suddenly realized you have feelings for me, can it?" Wen Hua herself found this statement laughable. "Fu Shishen, your feelings for me are only for the shares. And you're just unhappy because I initiated the divorce. Jiang Ruan is your true love, the one you cherish most."

"Heh—" After a long while, Fu Shishen gave a faint laugh.

His gaze towards Jiang Ruan turned sharp and sinister: "Wen Hua, don't flatter yourself. Don't you know your own limitations?"

"I know," Wen Hua replied.

The more she cooperated, the more unhappy Fu Shishen became.

It was as if the pride of a grown man had been shattered by Wen Hua in an instant.

He would rather see Wen Hua in unbearable pain because of him.

Instead of the open and confident demeanor she displays now.

It was completely beyond my control.

Therefore, he couldn't give a straight answer, and was left speechless by Wen Hua's sharp retort.

If I continue to dwell on this, it will truly be a case of me being unable to let go of Wen Hua.

That's absolutely impossible.

"So, Fu Shishen, let's let each other go. At least after seven years of marriage, leave me a way out." Wen Hua's last words were not humble, but helpless.

After a long silence, Fu Shishen asked Wen Hua in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

"Yes." Wen Hua's answer remained unwavering.

"I'll have my lawyer give you the divorce papers." This time, Fu Shishen's answer was concise and to the point.

Then he turned and left, leaving Wen Hua standing there alone.

Until Fu Shishen disappeared from sight.

Wen Hua breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the armrest.

This is the most peaceful time they have had in a long time.

She thought that this time it should really be over.
