Shen Tang gave him a cold look, a sneer tugging at the corner of her lips.

"Director Li, could you please take a look and see if there's anything wrong with this marriage certificate?"

Shen Tang looked at Li Xiuying, the women's director, and handed her the marriage certificate.

Li Xiuying stepped forward and was about to take the marriage certificate when Lu Jingshen grabbed Shen Tang's wrist.

"Shen Tang, are you really going to..."

Lu Jingshen looked at Shen Tang in shock.

She publicly admitted that the marriage certificate was fake!

Are you going to destroy him?

Lu Jingshen lowered his voice and said, "Shen Tang, you'd better think this through before you speak."

"Release yourself!" Shen Tang said coldly.

She twisted her wrist, breaking free from Lu Jingshen's grip, and handed the marriage certificate to Li Xiuying.

Li Xiuying examined it and frowned, saying, "This seal is wrong. Look at the rough edges, and the size of the characters is wrong too. This marriage certificate is fake."

Shen Tang exclaimed in shock, "The marriage certificate was actually fake! Lu Jingshen, so you've been lying to me for the past three years! No wonder you wouldn't consummate our marriage; you just wanted to swindle all my assets and then abandon me, didn't you?! Lu Jingshen, how cruel you are!"

As Shen Tang shouted, the crowd erupted.

"Lu Jingshen seems so gentle, how could he be like this? He tricked someone into marriage, didn't even share a room with them, and the marriage certificate was fake!"

"That's absolutely inhuman! No wonder I heard his mother, Liu Jinhua, treats Shen Tang terribly!"

Someone lowered their voice and said, "Judging from this, he and Yang Xinyue might really be having an affair."

"Who says otherwise? Ugh! That's disgusting."

Yang Xinyue listened to everyone's discussion, gritting her teeth tightly.

No matter what, as long as Lu Jingshen and Shen Tang can get a divorce, anything goes.

She accepted this small injustice.

Lu Jingshen's face darkened.

He never expected that Shen Tang would publicize this matter in front of so many people.

He stepped forward and said to Shen Tang in a low voice, "Let's go home and talk."

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Shen Tang's wrist again, but Shen Tang took a few steps back to avoid him.

"I'm not going back. Lu Jingshen, let's make things clear in front of everyone today."

Lu Jingshen's hand froze in mid-air, then clenched tightly.

Shen Tang looked at everyone and said, "From the very beginning, Lu Jingshen never intended to live a good life with me."

When my parents passed away one after the other, the Lu family wanted the money they left me.

After I entered the house, my mother-in-law, Liu Jinhua, tried every means to take the property passbook from my hands.

Lu Jingshen went to the city the day after our marriage, leaving me alone in the countryside, where I was tormented by my mother-in-law every day.

Only now do I realize that even the marriage certificate was fake.

She paused, her gaze sweeping across the audience, her voice softening:

"Lu Jingshen earned a good reputation for being 'grateful' and then got a job at the garment factory. Later, he even developed feelings for Yang Xinyue, the daughter of the garment factory manager."

"Shen Tang, don't talk nonsense. I have absolutely no relationship with Yang Xinyue! I admit that the marriage certificate was issued under the circumstances at the time..."

"Lu Jingshen doesn't love Shen Tang at all!"

Before Lu Jingshen could finish speaking, Yang Xinyue stepped forward and said loudly.

Yang Aimin grabbed her arm. "Xinyue, what nonsense are you talking about? Go home right now."

Yang Xinyue broke free from Yang Aimin and took a few steps forward.

Her hands trembled slightly as she said, word by word, "There is absolutely no affection between Lu Jingshen and Shen Tang. Lu Jingshen doesn't like her in the slightest."

Lu Jingshen frowned.

They've gone mad, they've all gone mad!

Shen Tang has gone mad, and Yang Xinyue has gone mad too!

He looked at Yang Xinyue and said coldly, "What do you want to do?"

"Lu Jingshen, stop hiding. Explain things clearly today," Yang Xinyue said loudly.

Yang Aimin grabbed Yang Xinyue's arm. "Nonsense! Come back."

Yang Xinyue tried to break free, crying, "Dad, let me go!"

Shen Tang watched coldly.

Yang Xinyue is truly devoted; it's unclear what it is about Lu Jingshen that has her so captivated.

With Yang Xinyue making such a fuss, Lu Jingshen had no choice but to admit it.

Yang Aimin turned to Yang Chaoyang and said, "Come here, take your sister away."

Yang Chaoyang waved his fist at Lu Jingshen, "You'd better handle things properly, or my fists won't be blind."

He turned around and grabbed Yang Xinyue's arm. "Sister, let him handle it himself. Let's go."

Yang Xinyue turned to look at Lu Jingshen, but Lu Jingshen kept his eyes down and didn't meet her gaze at all.

Yang Xinyue's mother, Wu Meijuan, followed behind and said in a low voice:

"New Moon, do you even care about your reputation? The more you act like this, the more Lu Jingshen will despise you."

Yang Xinyue finally listened a little. She looked at Lu Jingshen with red eyes, gritted her teeth, turned around, and was pulled away by Yang Chaoyang and Yang Aimin.

Shen Tang looked at Lu Jingshen and said, "We are not legally married. Since this marriage never existed in the first place, let's end it completely today."

"I disagree!" Lu Jingshen said decisively.

"Shen Tang, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You've taken a liking to Huo Xiuyuan, that's why you're so determined to divorce me!" Lu Jingshen said.

Shen Tang smiled and said, "Lu Jingshen, you're not human yourself, so why do you blame others? You and I are not husband and wife. Even if I did fall for Commander Huo, so what?"

You and Yang Xinyue have been having a romantic relationship for a long time, shouldn't you take responsibility for her?

Lu Jingshen stood there as if he had been stripped naked. It turned out that Shen Tang had seen him and Yang Xinyue that night.

He swallowed hard, took a deep breath, but still couldn't find an answer.

Shen Tang looked at him and said, "Now things are very clear. The marriage certificate is fake, our marriage is fake, we have no feelings for each other in the past three years, and we have never even slept together. There is no connection between us."

Let's settle this matter now that everyone's here.

The murmurs from the audience rose again.

"It's better that it's over, since we never slept together anyway. It's just a pity for Shen Tang's reputation."

"Lu Jingshen is really good at hiding his true colors! I used to think Shen Tang wasn't good enough for him, but it turns out Shen Tang was just oppressed by his family."

"Shen Tang has joined the performing arts troupe, that's going to be great!"

"Lu Jingshen will regret this! He doesn't cherish such a good wife."

Lu Jingshen's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face was ashen.

Shen Tang looked at him and said, "You still owe me money. Now that things have been cleared up, let's not wait until later to pay it off. Let's settle the debt before I go to the cultural troupe."

Lu Jingshen looked at her intently. "Are you really sure? You won't regret it?"

Shen Tang raised her chin and said firmly, "No regrets."

"Fine," Lu Jingshen said fiercely, "Since that's the case, then I'll do as you say."
