My Doctor Husband Left Me to Die for His Mistress

My husband is a doctor who claims to love me desperately, saying he adores my bright smile.

But later I discovered he fell in love with a melancholic, delicate little white flower nurse.

I went to the hospital to confront him, only to encounter a medical dispute riot.

When the patient's relative charged forward with a knife, the little white flower pushed me from behind.

I panicked, wanting to ask for his help, but he only pulled the little white flower behind him to protect her.

I was stabbed dozens of times, dying from excessive blood loss, and he inherited all my property.

Opening my eyes again, I returned to the day I went to confront him at the hospital.

This time I want to see if without his job, these two would still be so in love!

"Jiang Chenfeng! You quack! Give me back my wife and child's lives!"

Following the roar came several screams.

I felt somewhat flustered.

Jiang Chenfeng is my husband, also a doctor at this hospital.

I came to find him because an unknown phone number sent me a photo.

It was Jiang Chenfeng and a little nurse from his hospital named Li Mengqi.

The two stood shoulder to shoulder looking at medical records, appearing especially intimate.

I was unwilling to believe Jiang Chenfeng would cheat.

After all, all our friends said he loved me immensely.

So I came to find him wanting to ask clearly.

After all, it was just a photo.

What if it was taken from a misleading angle?

Not just anyone could drive a wedge between our feelings.

As long as he explained, I was willing to believe.

But unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the hospital, I encountered such a medical dispute riot.

And the target of the riot was my husband.

Seeing the gleaming knife in the man's hand, I felt somewhat dizzy.

Although several security guards held riot forks against him, who would dare to risk their life in this situation?

The man was clearly red-eyed, and we couldn't expect him not to harm innocents.

I found Jiang Chenfeng in his office.

And Li Mengqi.

"Chenfeng, are you alright? Why are you still here?"

"That medical dispute rioter is about to charge over here. Hurry and leave with me."

As I spoke, I reached for Jiang Chenfeng's hand.

Jiang Chenfeng walked two steps with me, when Li Mengqi, cowering in the corner, suddenly spoke.

"Dr. Jiang..."

Jiang Chenfeng subconsciously wanted to turn back.

Now I had no mind to pay attention to whether there was anything between them.

The screams and roars outside grew closer.

I only wanted Jiang Chenfeng to be safe.

"Miss Li, do you want to get Chenfeng killed?"

I left a sentence and pulled Jiang Chenfeng, wanting to leave.

But I was still a step too late.

Just then, the office door was kicked open.

The man holding the knife walked in with a sinister grin.

His gaze fell on Jiang Chenfeng.

"Dr. Jiang, you were hard to find."

We retreated to the window.

Just as I was thinking about what to do, the man lunged forward.

At the same time, I felt Li Mengqi, standing diagonally behind me, reach out and push me!

All my attention was focused ahead, completely unaware of what was happening behind me.

So she didn't need much force to make me stumble forward.

I walked right into the man's knife point.

Amid Li Mengqi's screams, I heard Jiang Chenfeng calling my name.

It looked as if I had主动 thrown myself forward to block the man.

The man was already red-eyed, not caring whether the person before him was his target for revenge.

I subconsciously turned back, wanting to ask Jiang Chenfeng for help, but saw him protecting Li Mengqi as he retreated.

"Close your eyes, don't look."

He could still spare the thought to comfort Li Mengqi.

I was pushed to the ground by the crazed man, stabbed dozens of times, and died on the spot from excessive blood loss.

I never expected to die so suddenly.

After death, my soul floated in mid-air, watching as the man was controlled by the late-arriving police.

My body was carried away, while Jiang Chenfeng comforted the frightened Li Mengqi.

Although I lost my life, Li Mengqi was frightened.

After my death, I watched as Jiang Chenfeng inherited my estate and married Li Mengqi.

My death didn't affect him at all.

2

Perhaps from too much unwillingness, I opened my eyes again.

The taxi driver in front reminded me.

"We're here."

I paid the fare, and even after getting out of the car, my mind was still somewhat chaotic.

Until I saw the hospital sign before me, I came back to my senses.

I took out my phone and checked the date.

October 17th, the day from my previous life when I went to confront Jiang Chenfeng and was hacked to death in the medical dispute riot.

Thinking of my previous life, I felt there was no need to go confront him.

They say a person's first reaction in a crisis reveals their true thoughts.

When I died, Jiang Chenfeng was protecting Li Mengqi.

So in Jiang Chenfeng's heart, Li Mengqi was more important than me.

I had already gotten the answer I wanted.

This time I didn't want to foolishly rush forward to be a scapegoat again.

But I was still curious—what would Jiang Chenfeng's outcome have been if I hadn't come in my previous life?

So I still walked into the hospital.

The hospital was just as chaotic as when I came in my previous life.

I avoided the rioting man and hid in the staircase on the corridor.

From here I could just see the door to Jiang Chenfeng's office.

I watched as the man broke through the heavy siege and burst into Jiang Chenfeng's office.

Li Mengqi's scream came from the office.

Then followed the sounds of various tables and chairs colliding.

Jiang Chenfeng and the man wrestled together.

Is this the power of love?

In my previous life, when I was hacked to death by the man, why didn't I see him show such courage?

The man with the knife after all held a weapon and fought with desperation, quickly gaining the upper hand.

He pinned Jiang Chenfeng to the ground.

Watching him stab the knife into Jiang Chenfeng's shoulder, I felt some satisfaction.

Jiang Chenfeng's hands gripped the blade tightly, blood flowing from his palms, staining his white coat red.

The two remained deadlocked.

The police soon arrived and subdued the man.

I watched as Jiang Chenfeng was carried away on a stretcher.

His chest was still rising and falling—clearly not dead. Li Mengqi was wiping tears beside him.

It seemed he wouldn't die. What a pity.

I sighed and turned to leave.

After leaving the hospital, I called my best friend Chen Siyu.

"Do you still have Attorney Lin's WeChat, the one whose sister got divorced? Push it to me."

Chen Siyu was somewhat surprised.

"Attorney Lin specializes in divorce cases. What are you planning?"

"You want a divorce?"

"Hmm... huh? What? You want to divorce Jiang Chenfeng?"

Chen Siyu took a taxi to find me. After getting out of the car, she immediately reached out and felt my forehead.

"No fever. Why do you suddenly want to divorce Jiang Chenfeng?"

We found a nearby milk tea shop and sat down.

"You might not believe me, but I discovered Jiang Chenfeng is cheating."

I was already prepared for Chen Siyu to try to persuade me.

But she just nodded and pushed Attorney Lin's WeChat to me.

I looked up at her.

"You're not going to persuade me?"

After all, in my friends' eyes, Jiang Chenfeng was a good man.

Chen Siyu had often expressed wanting to find a capable and loving man like Jiang Chenfeng.

Hearing my question, Chen Siyu shook her head.

"What's there to persuade? A cheating man, no matter how good, is not worth keeping."

She was firmly on my side.

I was somewhat moved.

Chen Siyu helped me arrange a meeting with Attorney Lin.

Attorney Lin was a very capable older sister.

After listening to the whole story, she gave me some advice.

Mere cheating was insufficient for a court to grant a divorce, let alone my request for him to leave with nothing.

She suggested I negotiate a divorce with Jiang Chenfeng.

For a negotiated divorce, I needed to catch Jiang Chenfeng's mistakes and strike him hard.

Under her hint, I went to find a private investigator.

Just now when Li Mengqi followed Jiang Chenfeng's stretcher crying, the people around didn't show any surprised expressions, even seeming accustomed to it.

It seemed their relationship, while not widely known in the hospital, wasn't particularly hidden either.

Only I, in my previous life, was kept in the dark like a fool.

4

The private investigator was very efficient.

He soon brought me evidence of Jiang Chenfeng and Li Mengqi's affair.

I looked through the photos one by one.

There were photos of them kissing together, walking hand in hand shopping, and going to hotels together.

I didn't expect they had reached this stage.

Besides these, there were also some receipts—gifts Jiang Chenfeng bought for her.

I calculated that in just half a year, he had spent nearly one hundred thousand.

We weren't a wealthy family, and this one hundred thousand was our savings for a long time.

I lived quite frugally, but the money I saved was spent by Jiang Chenfeng on Li Mengqi.

All of this was marital property, which I organized item by item, preparing to demand back from Li Mengqi.

Besides this, the private investigator also brought me new information.

The medical dispute was indeed Jiang Chenfeng's fault.

He had prescribed the wrong medication dosage, causing Li Mengqi to inject the patient with drugs that led to the patient's shock.

But he discovered that after the patient failed to be resuscitated, the medical order had been altered once.

I thought for a moment.

"You mean, perhaps initially his medical order wasn't wrong, but someone later altered his medical order?"

Regardless of whether the initial medical order was wrong, only two people handled it.

Jiang Chenfeng and Li Mengqi.

It seemed one of them would have to bear legal responsibility no matter what.

I added more money for the private investigator, insisting he investigate this matter thoroughly and find a way to bring it to the police's attention.

Because as far as I knew, the patient's death had not been ruled a medical accident.

Someone must have manipulated things.

The patient's family had nowhere to turn for help, which led to this riot.

5

After arranging all this, I finally went to the hospital to visit Jiang Chenfeng.

He didn't die, but he was seriously injured.

At this moment, he was staying in a single room arranged by the hospital.

Li Mengqi was taking care of him.

Seeing me enter, Li Mengqi hesitated, exchanged a glance with Jiang Chenfeng, then got up and left.

Both of Jiang Chenfeng's hands were wrapped in thick bandages.

I heard his hand nerves were damaged, and even if healed, there would be aftereffects.

The hospital was already considering moving him to a second-tier position.

"Wanqing, why did you only come now?"

His voice carried a slight complaint.

I calmly pulled a chair and sat beside him.

"Weren't you quite happy without me coming?"

Jiang Chenfeng's face stiffened.

"Wanqing, there's nothing between us."

His words were tantamount to confessing without being pressed.

I laughed.

"Jiang Chenfeng, I haven't said anything yet."

Jiang Chenfeng realized he had misspoken and fell silent.

I took out the divorce agreement and placed it by his bed.

"It's alright, I'll give him to you, saving you the trouble of hiding it from me."

Jiang Chenfeng expected me to cry and make a scene, but never expected I could directly produce a divorce agreement.

"Wanqing, don't make trouble, take it back."

"You can't casually say divorce just because you're unhappy."

I just continued smiling at him.

Until Jiang Chenfeng realized I wasn't joking.

"Su Wanqing, you want to divorce me over such a small matter?"

I had no way to explain to him.

This wasn't a small matter—I had even died once because of his favoritism.

I've never been able to tolerate sand in my eyes.

But saying these things would make me seem unreasonable.

Jiang Chenfeng carefully examined my expression, wanting to find evidence that I was just throwing a tantrum.

But he was disappointed.

I was serious.

"Wanqing, we're already married, don't let such a small matter destroy our relationship, okay?"

"I promise, I will never do anything to betray you again."

I stared at Jiang Chenfeng.

What happened later in my previous life allowed me to clearly understand Jiang Chenfeng's thoughts.

His urgency to win me back now wasn't because of love, but because of my inheritance.

My grandfather left me an inheritance when he died last year.

Though not substantial, it was enough to save someone ten years of struggle.

And before he died, Grandfather specially made a will stating this property belonged to me alone.

So even if we divorced, Jiang Chenfeng couldn't get the money.

Jiang Chenfeng was reluctant to part with this money.

Seeing I wouldn't be moved, Jiang Chenfeng became somewhat frantic.

He picked up the divorce agreement and tore it to shreds.

"Su Wanqing, I don't agree to divorce."

"Tear it all you want."

I stood up.

After so many years together, I thought he would accommodate me and give our separation some dignity.

I turned and walked out of the hospital room, but I couldn't help looking back through the glass at Jiang Chenfeng.

Jiang Chenfeng leaned against the headboard, lips tightly pressed, looking out the window.

Sunlight through the glass shone on him, casting a warm-colored halo over his entire person.

This scene was hard not to make me think of the day we first met.

Originally, I was the one who pursued Jiang Chenfeng.

My profession is photographer.

A friend at the newspaper office asked me to go to the hospital to take a series of documentary photos about doctors' daily work.

For the not-insubstantial compensation, I readily agreed.

After greeting the dean, I carried my camera and walked through the hospital corridors.

I took several photos in succession but felt somewhat dissatisfied.

I always felt something was missing.

Until I met Jiang Chenfeng.

At that time, he had just finished a surgery lasting over ten hours.

He walked out of the operating room, exhaustion in his eyes that couldn't be concealed.

But at that moment, he was smiling.

His face carried the joy and satisfaction of success.

Genuinely happy for the surgery's success.

The patient's family surrounded him, asking about the patient's condition.

Jiang Chenfeng was clearly exhausted, leaning against the wall, but still patiently answered their questions.

At that moment, I felt he was a good doctor.

And I got the photo I wanted.

When that newspaper issue was published, I made an excuse to send Jiang Chenfeng a copy.

Under my deliberate approach, we gradually became familiar.

Jiang Chenfeng wasn't an proactive person; he was even somewhat introverted in emotional matters.

So both confession and proposal were initiated by me.

After all, I was the one who liked him more.

When I first saw him, he had a glow about him.

After marriage, Jiang Chenfeng gradually revealed his love for me, becoming the good man our friends spoke of.

But how did it become like this now?

I was somewhat confused.

The current Jiang Chenfeng felt somewhat strange to me.

He seemed different from the person I first knew.

Perhaps it started with Li Mengqi's employment.

Li Mengqi came to Jiang Chenfeng's hospital for internship in the third year of our marriage.

That day Jiang Chenfeng came home from work and couldn't help pulling me to complain.

"Wanqing, let me tell you, several intern nurses came to our department today."

"Old Liu also said the nurse's station finally wouldn't be so busy."

"You know how newcomers are most energetic in their first few days."

"But one of them, I don't know what was wrong, looked completely lost and made quite a few mistakes."

"She even walked into the wrong room just delivering medicine."

"This made the head nurse so angry she almost sent her back to school on the spot."

Listening to Jiang Chenfeng's words, how much this resembled the first encounter between male and female leads in romance novels?

But I quickly shook my head and dismissed this thought.

Jiang Chenfeng and I had a good relationship; he was just complaining about work matters to me. I shouldn't have such strange thoughts.

So this matter was soon forgotten.

7

But not long after, Jiang Chenfeng mentioned Li Mengqi again.

This time, his face was full of guilt.

"Today I overheard several nurses chatting about that Li Mengqi."

"I heard her family has always been in difficulty."

"Her mother left home because she couldn't stand her father's domestic violence when she was young."

"Her father died from alcoholism a few years later."

"She always lived with her grandfather, but her grandfather also died from a brain thrombosis in the first few days of her work, which is why she was so lost and kept making mistakes."

"I even criticized her about her work back then."

I comforted Jiang Chenfeng at that time.

"You didn't know back then, and besides, you two weren't familiar then."

After comforting Jiang Chenfeng, I inexplicably thought of an internet meme.

So I half-jokingly asked him.

"Do you wake up in the middle of the night and want to slap yourself twice?"

After saying this, I felt the joke was somewhat inappropriate.

Fortunately, Jiang Chenfeng didn't hear clearly what I said.

But I didn't expect my joking words became reality.

Jiang Chenfeng truly began to feel pity for Li Mengqi from his heart.

And pity is the beginning of a man's favoritism.

I always believed in Jiang Chenfeng.

Because we loved each other.

He would take detours on his way home from work to bring me my favorite snacks.

He would also kiss my eyes during our intimate moments.

He said.

"Wanqing, I love you."

He also said.

"Wanqing, you look beautiful when you smile."

Jiang Chenfeng wouldn't say too many moving love words, only expressing his love through actions.

I often felt how fortunate I was to have met him.

Until I received that anonymously sent photo.

My first reaction was still to believe.

I found several excuses for Jiang Chenfeng, wanting to defend him.

But ultimately, I couldn't deceive myself.

I was too familiar with Jiang Chenfeng; the feelings under his gentle smile couldn't be hidden.

I looked at that photo, my thoughts churning.

From initial confusion and helplessness, to later anger.

And finally, tears streaming down my face.

After sitting at home for a night, I decided to go ask Jiang Chenfeng.

I can't tolerate sand in my eyes, but so many years of feelings still made me willing to hear Jiang Chenfeng's explanation.

Unfortunately, I never heard his explanation and died under the rioter's knife.

8

Jiang Chenfeng in the hospital room still maintained his posture sitting and looking out the window.

I sighed and was about to turn and leave.

But before I took a few steps, someone blocked my path.

"Miss Su, can we talk?"

It was Li Mengqi, standing before me, looking at me somewhat hesitantly.

I looked down at her.

Come to think of it, this was the first time I faced her directly.

Li Mengqi was half a head shorter than me, making her appear very petite.

Whether intentional or not, when Li Mengqi looked at me, her eyes were slightly red, looking as if she might cry at any moment.

She wasn't particularly good-looking, but her temperament and style perfectly captured the little white flower look.

For her, I really couldn't put on a good face.

"What is it?"

Li Mengqi looked around, pursing her lips.

"Can we talk somewhere else?"

I wanted to see what tricks she wanted to play before me, so I agreed to her request.

Li Mengqi led me to the hospital's stairwell.

Before I could say anything, Li Mengqi suddenly knelt before me.

"Miss Su, I'm sorry, Dr. Jiang was injured because of me."

"If you want to blame someone, blame me. Don't argue with Dr. Jiang."

I sat on the steps before her, looking down at her.

"I know."

Li Mengqi was stunned for a second, then sat on the ground and began wiping her tears.

"I never wanted to interfere in your family."

"I just have no relatives left, and only Dr. Jiang has been taking care of me since I started working."

"I love him, I want to be with him..."

She cried, describing how pitiful she was, how much she loved Jiang Chenfeng.

She also said that as long as I was willing to give Jiang Chenfeng to her, she would do anything.

At this point, I even felt powerless to complain, even wanting to laugh.

Li Mengqi seemed to place herself in the position of the disadvantaged group.

Her crying before me made me seem like the villain breaking up the mandarin ducks.

I no longer cared who initiated it before the two got mixed up together.

Whether it was Jiang Chenfeng first giving Li Mengqi attention that could be misunderstood, or Li Mengqi approaching with ulterior motives from the beginning.

So I smiled and reached out to pat her face, flushed from crying.

"Begging me won't work."

"I just told Jiang Chenfeng I want a divorce."

"He doesn't agree."

"If you want me and Jiang Chenfeng to divorce so you can be with him, you'd better find a way to work hard yourself."

Li Mengqi finally stopped crying.

A trace of doubt and thought flashed through her eyes.

I stood up and left.

I even somewhat hoped Li Mengqi would go make trouble with Jiang Chenfeng, occupying his energy.

So I could think carefully about how to give Jiang Chenfeng a "dignified" separation.

9

I went to find Attorney Lin again.

After all, she had been a divorce-specialized lawyer for many years and must have seen many things.

Just as we were talking, the door to Attorney Lin's office was pushed open.

"Sis, I brought you lunch."

I subconsciously turned back, unexpectedly seeing a familiar face.

"Lin Ziyao?"

"Senior schoolmate?"

Lin Ziyao was a junior I knew from the university photography club.

He had previously pursued Chen Siyu, so we were quite familiar.

No wonder I found Attorney Lin familiar when I saw her.

Lin Ziyao plopped down on a nearby sofa.

After hearing about Jiang Chenfeng and me, he spoke his mind directly.

"Doctors care a lot about their professional reputation, right?"

"If you have someone go to his workplace and publicize the truth,打击打击 him a bit and maybe..."

"Ziyao!"

Attorney Lin stopped him from continuing.

But she didn't say this method wouldn't work.

I understood.

Immoral, but effective enough.

Leaving the law firm, I had just opened my door at home when I heard someone cursing me.

"Where did that bitch Su Wanqing run off to? You're discharged from the hospital and she doesn't even come pick you up."

"Yeah, brother, I don't know what you see in her."

It was my mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Seeing me return, they both rolled their eyes at me in unison, continuing to surround Jiang Chenfeng, asking after his well-being.

Mother-in-law wiped tears while glaring fiercely at me.

"Why are you only now back? Hurry up and cook. Do you want to starve my son?"

Mother-in-law never really liked me.

Because her plan for Jiang Chenfeng was to marry a gentle, quiet only daughter from within the system, which would help his life and career.

But Jiang Chenfeng, who always listened to her, rarely defied her wishes.

So every time she saw me, she was displeased.

And to not make things difficult for Jiang Chenfeng, I always tolerated her in every way.

Since I was now preparing to divorce Jiang Chenfeng, naturally I no longer gave her a good face.

"Save it. Don't put on that elder act with me anymore. I'm already preparing to divorce your son."

Jiang Chenfeng stood up wanting to say something, but was pulled back by his sister.

Mother-in-law's eyes widened, and she stood pointing at my nose.

"Divorce! Quick, immediately!"

"There are plenty of good women waiting to marry my son. Just you, a hen that can't lay eggs, occupying this position."

Jiang Chenfeng couldn't bear it and shouted.

"Mom!"

Then he looked at me.

"I said, I don't agree to divorce."

Mother-in-law and sister-in-law looked at him in astonishment.

They had just thought Jiang Chenfeng had finally come to his senses and wanted to divorce me.

In their minds, they never expected I would actively seek divorce.

I kindly explained to them.

"Jiang Chenfeng is having an affair with a little nurse at his hospital. He was injured because of that little lover."

Sister-in-law glared at me fiercely, as if I were the villain ruining her brother's reputation.

Suddenly she picked up a vase from the table and threw it at me.

I dodged.

The vase hit the wall, shattering into several pieces.

She wanted to rush forward and fight me, but I grabbed her hair.

She struggled to scratch me, but I kicked her, sending her flying out the still-open door.

Seeing her daughter at a disadvantage, mother-in-law also rushed forward to help.

I threw her out too.

Mother-in-law sat on the ground and began wailing.

"Come see, the vicious daughter-in-law is beating her mother-in-law..."

Unfortunately, this apartment has two units per floor, and the neighboring unit was unoccupied, so no one came to watch her performance.

I looked at the silent Jiang Chenfeng.

"Now, take your mother and sister and get out of my house."

This apartment was bought before I married.

Although Jiang Chenfeng's salary as a doctor was high, housing prices in this city were not low.

Jiang Chenfeng opened his mouth, finally only saying.

"I'm sorry, my mom and sister were too impulsive."

"We'll talk about our matter when I return."

He wanted to say more, but mother-in-law blocked the door, making a scene.

He left with a dark face.

10

I didn't plan to continue living in this apartment.

Besides, I had long wanted to travel and relax.

I contacted a real estate agent, preparing to sell the apartment.

Passing the hospital entrance, I saw an elderly couple holding banners and crying at the hospital entrance.

Many people stood not far away, pointing and discussing.

I asked a security guard about the reason.

This elderly couple were the parents of the man involved in the recent medical dispute.

Their daughter-in-law was hospitalized to protect her pregnancy, but was killed along with her unborn child due to the wrong medical order.

Now their son was also detained for injuring people during the medical dispute.

This elderly couple didn't appear wealthy, wanting justice for their daughter-in-law but not knowing where to start.

Someone with a sense of justice posted this matter online.

Online attitudes toward medical dispute rioters are generally negative.

So this elderly couple was condemned by thousands.

I secretly had someone deliver Jiang Chenfeng's medical order to the elderly couple.

And taught them how to livestream.

Based on my internet experience.

When facing medical dispute rioters, although most people detest them, once someone posts information favorable to the rioters, revealing the doctor's mistakes, the online sentiment immediately shifts.

As if everything the rioter did became justifiable.

Many people went to the hospital's official account to ask about the truth.

The hospital didn't want to incur public wrath, and after verifying, fired Jiang Chenfeng.

Jiang Chenfeng was completely unemployed.

After such an incident, it would be extremely difficult for him to find another job in the medical system.

The elderly couple also received the compensation they deserved.

But their son's knife assault was also a fact, and he couldn't escape legal punishment.

On the day Jiang Chenfeng was fired, his aunt called me.

Her words carried accusation, saying Jiang Chenfeng and I could only share good times, not bad.

It turned out mother-in-law had been crying in the family group, saying I wanted to abandon Jiang Chenfeng after he lost his job.

Perhaps she also realized Jiang Chenfeng's reputation was now ruined, and if I divorced him, he might not be able to marry another daughter-in-law to her satisfaction.

I never looked at the family group, not expecting mother-in-law to cry there, letting other relatives persuade me.

I immediately posted the photos the private investigator sent me to the group.

It's not whoever cries first who is right.

After seeing this conclusive evidence, the others fell silent, leaving only mother-in-law still relentlessly posting in the group.

11

Li Mengqi probably truly loved Jiang Chenfeng.

Despite things becoming like this, she remained devoted to Jiang Chenfeng.

This greatly moved Jiang Chenfeng.

Jiang Chenfeng finally relented and agreed to divorce me.

On the divorce day, mother-in-law and Li Mengqi also came.

Seeing me, mother-in-law disdainfully rolled her eyes at me, then supported Li Mengqi's arm and said loudly.

"Mengqi, be careful, walk slowly. My grandchild cannot be harmed."

I imperceptibly glanced at Li Mengqi's stomach.

So she was pregnant. No wonder.

After Jiang Chenfeng resigned, he contacted me several times, wanting to reconcile with me.

After I blacklisted him, he borrowed others' phones to send me messages.

Until I couldn't bear it and replied: [Jiang Chenfeng, stop being so shameless.]

Only then did Jiang Chenfeng settle down.

The next time I heard from Jiang Chenfeng was that he agreed to divorce.

Whether out of guilt or something else, Jiang Chenfeng signed the divorce agreement requiring him to leave with nothing.

Jiang Chenfeng looked very bad now, unshaven, with a decadent appearance.

Seeing me, his eyes brightened.

"Wanqing..."

He called my name while taking a few steps toward me.

Li Mengqi dissatisfiedly tugged his arm, and only then did he remember he was here to divorce me.

Jiang Chenfeng lowered his head, the decadence around him deepening.

He silently received the divorce certificate, then took Li Mengqi to register their marriage.

Probably the happiest person throughout was Li Mengqi.

As they walked toward the marriage registration office, she looked back triumphantly at me.

This Jiang family pit of fire—probably only she was willing to jump into it now.

"Wait."

I called out to the two of them.

Jiang Chenfeng somewhat impatiently looked back at me.

I took out a stack of receipt photos from my bag.

"You spent quite a bit of money on Li Mengqi before we divorced."

"I'll round it down to exactly one hundred thousand."

"This part is also our marital property. Shouldn't you return it?"

Jiang Chenfeng's lips moved, his face turning a few shades paler.

But considering he left with nothing, I agreed to his request to write an IOU.

Before parting, I left Jiang Chenfeng a gift.

It was evidence that Li Mengqi had altered his medical order.

Jiang Chenfeng had never investigated the medical order matter thoroughly.

He always thought it was his momentary mistake, writing the wrong medication dosage.

I was somewhat curious—what would Jiang Chenfeng do if he knew it was Li Mengqi who caused his injury and unemployment?

But I didn't wait to watch the excitement at Jiang Chenfeng's home.

I bought a recent train ticket, planning to wander around casually.

On the train, I had just put on my headphones when someone sat down beside me.

"Senior schoolmate? What a coincidence."

I turned to look—it was Lin Ziyao.

Lin Ziyao showed me a big, bright smile.

He said he was traveling and asked if I wanted to join him.

I happened to have no destination, so I readily accepted his invitation.

Just like that, we traveled and played for a whole year.

Until the real estate agent notified me that the apartment had sold, I reluctantly returned.

12

After returning, Chen Siyu told me what had happened at Jiang Chenfeng's home during this time.

She always loves gossip, especially about seeing her ex-husband's miserable experiences.

Jiang Chenfeng's home had been quite chaotic lately.

Just after Jiang Chenfeng saw the evidence I gave him, he had a fight with Li Mengqi.

But considering the child in Li Mengqi's belly, he eventually let the matter drop.

Not a few months later, Jiang Chenfeng's mother somehow learned about this.

The matter of Jiang Chenfeng leaving with nothing was also exposed.

This enraged her. She spent all day pointing at Li Mengqi's nose, calling her a jinx.

Li Mengqi also changed from her previous weakness, arguing back.

Jiang Chenfeng ignored both of them, hiding outside all day for peace.

His sister naturally sided with his mother.

The verbal sparring between these three women soon escalated from quarreling to physical fighting.

Li Mengqi, unable to fight two opponents, prematurely gave birth to a son.

Unfortunately, this child had a congenital cleft lip and would need a large sum for surgery.

Within two months, Li Mengqi quietly took jewelry and cash from home and ran away.

Jiang Chenfeng couldn't bear to part with the child and couldn't find work, so he went to work moving bricks at a construction site.

Li Mengqi appeared again in a social news report.

She had become someone's mistress and was beaten on the street by the original wife bringing her brothers.

A passing truck failed to brake in time, rolling Li Mengqi under its wheels, killing her on the spot.

Chen Siyu mysteriously asked me.

"Do you know whose mistress Li Mengqi became?"

I cooperatively showed a puzzled expression.

"Who? Don't keep me in suspense, hurry up and tell me."

"It was Jiang Chenfeng's former dean."

Li Mengqi had long been involved with him, which was also why no one was fired over that medical incident.

It was the dean who helped Li Mengqi suppress the matter.

I felt somewhat sighing.

One mistake had led to so much drama.

After completing the apartment transfer procedures, I ran into Jiang Chenfeng on the street.

A year without seeing him, he had completely changed.

Jiang Chenfeng looked ten years older, his entire body somewhat stooped.

Heavy physical labor had left its marks on him.

If he hadn't suddenly stopped and looked at me, I might not have dared to confirm it was him.

He was no longer that person with a glow about him.

"Wanqing..."

He took two steps forward, but seemed at a loss for words.

After a long pause, he finally asked: "How have you been recently?"

I spread my hands.

"Obviously, much better than you."

A tear seemed to trace down his face.

"All this time, I've thought of you almost constantly."

"I feel I owe you an apology."

"I'm sorry."

Facing him now, I was completely calm, and this apology wasn't that important to me anymore.

I nodded, accepting his apology.

"Anything else? If not, I'm leaving."

Just as I turned, Jiang Chenfeng grabbed me.

I somewhat unexpectedly understood the look in his eyes.

He wanted to reconcile with me, but understood he had no standing or conditions.

His life was now a mess of mud, and he had no right to drag me in too.

"Senior schoolmate!"

Lin Ziyao ran to my side holding a stack of documents.

Jiang Chenfeng looked at me and then at him, finally letting go and turning to leave.

I let him wonder about my relationship with Lin Ziyao.

"Senior schoolmate, who was that?"

"I don't know, probably mistook me for someone else."

Lin Ziyao didn't dwell too much on Jiang Chenfeng's identity, handing me the documents in his hand.

"Senior schoolmate, it's all settled."

Since the divorce, I had developed considerable interest in the private investigation profession.

Lin Ziyao and I hit it off.

We established a firm specializing in helping women who had suffered betrayal in marriage.

The documents he just gave me were our rented office space.

Holding the documents, I completely forgot about Jiang Chenfeng and discussed the firm's development matters with him.

Those past matters could no longer affect me.
