When I Saw the Bullet Comments About My Vegetative Husband

After caring for my husband in a vegetative state for three years, when I sold our property to hire an expert from Country D to treat him, I saw bullet comments.

[This is the final test. As long as the supporting female character uses all her property to bring in an expert from Country D, the male lead will believe she wasn't just with him for money and will immediately wake up to take her back to inherit his hundred-billion family fortune.]

[Stop dreaming! If she brings in the expert, how can our sweet female lead continue with the male lead who's pretending to be vegetative?]

[Exactly, I'm still waiting to see the male lead sneak kisses with the female lead at night for those sweet moments.]

I couldn't believe it as I looked at Fu Hanyu lying quietly there. He, was he actually faking it?

1

No, impossible. I went back to find the attending doctor to examine Fu Hanyu. The answer the doctor gave me was the same as before.

"Miss Jiang, Mr. Fu still shows no signs of awakening."

I breathed a sigh of relief. I knew Fu Hanyu couldn't be deceiving me.

But the next moment, bullet comments appeared again. [Just now I almost suspected the supporting female character knew something. But thankfully, the doctor didn't reveal anything.] [My heart was in my throat too. I almost thought the male lead pretending to be vegetative was about to be discovered!] [Don't worry～ Don't forget that the male lead Fu Hanyu is the crown prince of the capital's elite circle. The hospital has already been arranged. Without his permission, no one would dare reveal he's pretending to be vegetative. The supporting female character will never discover he's faking it.]

Seeing these bullet comments, my heart grew cold. I looked at the doctor who had examined me. He avoided my gaze and comforted me: "Miss Jiang, for these three years, you've taken good care of your husband. As long as you persist, I believe he will wake up soon."

How soon is soon?

I didn't answer the doctor but called out to Fu Hanyu. Call after call, just like when we were dating. I cried as I recounted our dating past, asking him to wake up and see me, but he still showed no reaction.

I cried for a long time. After letting out my emotions, my mind cleared considerably. Although I didn't know what these bullet comments really were, what they said hadn't been proven. I refused to believe that Fu Hanyu, who had supported me through thick and thin, would deceive me.

I had already sold the property, and I had bought tickets for this afternoon. I wiped the tears from my face and got up to pack my things.

2

In the past two years, to care for Fu Hanyu, I had moved many things to the hospital room. After the house sale was completed, I moved the few remaining things here too. This trip to Country D was a long journey. While packing my luggage, I talked to Fu Hanyu.

"The first time you celebrated my birthday with me, my wish was to visit Country D. You said you would go with me then, but I never thought that going now would be to find someone to save you. If I had known going to Country D was to find someone to save you, I wouldn't have made that wish back then."

"Hanyu, I'll be gone for at least a week this time. I've already found an auntie to care for you during this week. When I come back, you'll definitely be awake!"

But bullet comments appeared again: [The supporting female character is leaving for a whole week? Then the male lead and our sweet female lead can be together for a whole week and unlock so many places!] [Exactly, with the supporting female character gone for a week, the male lead and female lead can kiss passionately in the hospital room again. Maybe they can even unlock some citrus scenes. I love watching that!] [You two upstairs, stop dreaming! The supporting female character won't even make it a week because she'll be in a car accident on the way to the airport, miss her flight, and completely lose her chance to hire the expert. Because of this, she'll fail Fu Hanyu's test, and Fu Hanyu will stop believing in love and only enjoy desire, achieving a happy ending with our sweet female lead.]

My hands paused while packing my luggage. I would be in a car accident?

Although what the bullet comments said hadn't been proven, they spoke with such certainty. Could everything really unfold as the bullet comments predicted?

I was still unwilling to believe these suddenly appearing things over Fu Hanyu, whom I had dated for years, could be a deceiver. So I was willing to verify what the bullet comments said.

With my luggage, I got into a taxi heading to the airport. After getting in, the first thing I told the driver was to drive carefully.

But the car still had an accident. At the corner, a car with failed brakes crashed into several vehicles, including our taxi, causing serious damage. Although the driver and I weren't seriously injured, traffic was blocked at the scene. I was trapped on the elevated highway waiting for rescue and missed my flight to Country D.

Just as my heart turned to ash, bullet comments appeared again: [Wow! As expected of the male and female leads from a pure, wild story. This is too crazy. Even on the rooftop? The male lead's body is amazing!] [Role-playing, little nurse and patient. Although taboo, it's genuinely sweet!] [To be fair, although this secret relationship feels thrilling, I still hope the supporting female character exits soon so the male and female leads can have passionate scenes for us every day.] [Don't worry upstairs, the supporting female character has already been in a car accident. She can't bring in the expert and is already out. She'll be kicked out in a few days! We need to be patient!]

The content on the bullet comments was shocking. I ignored my injuries and hurried back to the hospital.

Fu Hanyu and I were in a loving relationship.

The first time I met him was during a work-study job. He seemed to have broken something and didn't know how to handle it. Seeing his distressed expression, I kindly helped him deal with the broken items and found the boss to discuss compensation.

Fortunately, the item wasn't valuable, and the boss didn't ask for much compensation. After paying, he returned to school with me.

Only then did I learn he was at the same school as me, and like me, he was a student from a difficult family background working part-time to pay for tuition.

I had been orphaned young, relying on my grandparents and my own hands to get to school. I felt extra goodwill toward those in similar situations. Plus, he was quite talkative, so I added his contact information, and we shared many part-time job opportunities.

Through this back and forth, we established a romantic relationship.

Our relationship was simple, plain, and fulfilling. There were no grand passions or storms, no difficult obstacles—which was just as I had imagined a relationship would be. I was very satisfied.

In the third year of our relationship, he proposed to me. He said his family background was ordinary, he had no assets, only a face that looked decent, and he hoped to marry me and live an ordinary, peaceful life together.

I didn't care about his family background or his looks. I loved him because his personality matched mine perfectly.

I accepted his proposal, but in the second month of our marriage, he was in a car accident. The doctor said he unfortunately became vegetative and might lie in bed for life, but he was young. If I persisted with treatment and worked hard to help him recover, there was a high probability he could wake up.

So for these three years, I had been working hard to care for him, turning down opportunities to join large companies and selling all the property my grandparents left me to pay for his treatment.

But now, the bullet comments told me. All my sacrifices and efforts were just his test of me. And I was just the venomous NPC in his story who couldn't win his love, turned from love to hate, and finally darkened, acted recklessly, and disappeared.

It was evening when I reached the hospital. Fu Hanyu was indeed not in the hospital room, just as the bullet comments had said. The nurse on duty saw my injuries and was startled as she came to help me.

My heart had already turned completely cold. Leaning against the wall, I turned back to ask the nurse: "Where is my husband?"

The nurse looked at the hospital room, puzzled: "That's right, where is your husband? He was there when Sister Li did her rounds, and the auntie you hired went home long ago. Where did your husband go?"

I leaned against the wall without moving. The nurse probably saw how disheveled I looked and quietly comforted me: "It's okay. Everyone at the hospital knows your husband. Plus, with his condition, no one could take him out. He couldn't have gone anywhere else. They'll find him soon. Why don't you get your injuries treated first?"

I waved her away, saying each word deliberately: "I want to know where he is now!"

Seeing my condition, the nurse, though worried, went to call people to look for him.

I leaned against the wall, exhausted. But at that moment, those bullet comments appeared again. [Wow, so exciting! The supporting female character is in the hallway, while the male lead and female lead are kissing next door. They're kissing so passionately.] [Fu Hanyu's lips are bleeding. I didn't expect our sweet female lead to be such a little lioness!] [You upstairs must be new, right? Our female lead baby not only bit through Fu Hanyu's mouth but also left marks in other places.] [The couple I ship is just perfect! The sweet and soft female lead pins Fu Hanyu to the table to kiss him. This contrast is so satisfying.]

A "bang" came from the next room—something had fallen to the ground. My body stiffened.

The bullet comments continued. [The female lead baby saw the returning supporting female character and still dared to make such a big noise. She's so bold, but so brave!] [I think she's brave too, but they're so intense. Will the supporting female character discover them? I'm so worried!] [Don't worry, she won't discover them. They locked the door when they went in. The supporting female character can't open this door!] [I mean, when the supporting female character discovers the male lead is missing, will she discover he's deceiving her? I don't want the male lead to be wrongly accused of being a scumbag!] [You mean this? She won't discover it! The hospital has doctors specifically cooperating with the male lead. When they're done, a doctor will wheel the male lead back in a wheelchair, saying they took him for muscle relaxation and rehabilitation. With a doctor's cooperation, the supporting female character is so stupid she'll definitely believe it.] [The male lead actually prepared so thoroughly?] [Of course! If he hadn't prepared meticulously, how could he have deceived the supporting female character for so long?] [The male lead baby is too amazing!]

Confirming what the bullet comments said, Fu Hanyu was indeed pushed back in a wheelchair by a doctor.

I asked the doctor, and he gave me the same answer as the bullet comments.

I held back the tears in my eyes, thanked the doctor, put Fu Hanyu on the hospital bed, then got water to wipe his body. At the same time, I examined his body.

His lips were broken, and there were obvious kiss marks on his neck. Apparently, the so-called sweet and soft female lead from the bullet comments had really been angry and left marks on Fu Hanyu's chest too—not just one.

Everything matched up.

Originally, I had been convincing myself that everything was a coincidence, that Fu Hanyu couldn't be deceiving me, but now all the coincidences were confirmed one by one.

At this moment, what was there to struggle about? My vegetative husband, for his so-called test, had been lying in bed pretending to be vegetative, deceiving me for two years, watching me struggle to make ends meet to cure his non-existent illness, resigning from my job and selling my family property, and even having an affair with his mistress during this time.

I should have noticed the clues long ago. For example, why did someone who had been bedridden for two years still maintain such a perfect, muscular physique? Or why hadn't his handsome face become gaunt? Or why could I always smell a faint fragrance in the hospital room? Or those inexplicable red marks that appeared on his body...

Everything had traces, but I was too focused on the car accident, too focused on when he would wake up, so I ignored these details.

Ridiculously, I gave everything for him, while he just lay in bed, watching me struggle hard and rush about for him in the shadows, finally categorizing this torment as a test of me.

A test? I laughed, but laughing turned to crying, crying at my own stupidity and hating Fu Hanyu's indifference.

Some bullet comments said I was actually quite pitiful, having been in a car accident with untreated wounds, yet I came straight to find Fu Hanyu, saying I sold all my property to save him, proving I truly loved Fu Hanyu.

[Are some people so used to kneeling they can't stand up? What kind of dog-licking talk? The supporting female character has only done this much for Fu Hanyu, and that shows true love? Can the dog-lickers please get lost?]

[That's right! The male lead has a hundred-billion family fortune. What's the supporting female character's little contribution? If she had passed the test, the hundred-billion fortune would have been hers. She's just incompetent!]

[Can't you see the fakeness? If you don't need your eyes, you can donate them. She just looks good now. When she discovers the truth and turns from love to hate to harm the female lead, you'll know how venomous she is!]

Seeing this, I went from crying to laughing again. I sold my grandparents' lifetime savings for him, resigned my job for him, stayed by his side for three years.

I had thought we were both ordinary people doing our best for life, but who knew I was just a joke. Yet some bullet comments told me I had been deceived but couldn't have my own feelings?

Some people on the bullet comments raised the same question as me, but they were refuted.

6

[Ridiculous, right? It's because the supporting female character didn't fulfill her duties. Life itself is a gamble. She bet wrong and couldn't accept losing, then blamed the female lead baby. If she's not venomous, who is?]

[It's just because Fu Hanyu likes the female lead that she drove her car into the female lead. Did our female lead baby do anything to her?]

[What else could it be? She couldn't hurt the male lead, and she felt sorry for him, so she blamed the female lead!]

[I get it. It's the typical female competition plot from early stories where the venomous supporting female character, having no ability, blames the female lead. Disgusting!]

Female competition? Disgusting? Couldn't blame the female lead?

I forced myself to calm down. Indeed, I didn't know this so-called female lead, nor did I know what was really between her and Fu Hanyu. Fu Hanyu had deceived me for so long; he could deceive others too.

What I needed to figure out now was the female lead's identity, and whether this so-called female lead from the bullet comments knew Fu Hanyu was a deceiver, knew he already had a wife.

I didn't make a scene. I helped Fu Hanyu get dressed, packed my things to clean my wounds. My injuries weren't serious—just some scrapes that looked scary. A simple cleaning would suffice.

The nurse treating my wounds knew me. Seeing my wounds, she opened her mouth several times but only advised me: "Ms. Jiang, your own health is most important. You must protect your body well."

I was stunned and looked up at her, but she had already turned her face away. Probably because I now knew Fu Hanyu was pretending, even hearing the nurse's words felt like she was giving me hints.

I pushed these wandering thoughts away. Leaning on the wall, I left the emergency room.

Unexpectedly, I met a junior from our school in the elevator lobby. She was surprised to see me.

"Senior Jiang, aren't you going to Country D to bring a doctor for Senior Fu? Why are you here?"

I was quite surprised too. This junior was named Shi Jiaren, whom I met near graduation. She was lively and enthusiastic, with an outgoing personality. When she learned Fu Hanyu and I were getting married, she was very happy and gave us a wedding gift. I also invited her to our wedding.

On our wedding day, she gave me a huge cake, saying she wanted to become best friends with me. I grew up in the countryside with my grandparents and didn't have many friends. When she said she wanted to be my best friend, I didn't refuse.

After marriage, when Fu Hanyu had his car accident, she often came to the hospital to see me and brought things along. I remembered her kindness and always treated her sincerely.

I just never expected to see her at this time.

"It's so late. Why are you still at the hospital? Are you sick?"

I didn't answer but asked back. She froze for a moment, then laughed awkwardly: "I twisted my ankle going down the stairs today and came to have it checked. By the way, Senior Jiang, you told me you were going abroad today. Why are you still at the hospital? Also, this is..."

She looked me up and down. Just then, the elevator doors opened, and I saw my reflection in the elevator. Pale and sallow complexion, scrapes on my face, messy hair, haggard expression—I didn't look twenty-four or twenty-five, but more like forty or fifty.

Unexpectedly, in just three years, I had become like this.

I put away this bitterness and looked back at Shi Jiaren: "I had a car accident on the way to the airport and missed my boarding time. I can't go."

"How could that happen? Can't you change your flight?"

Change my flight? Everything the bullet comments said had been confirmed. Changing flights was meaningless, and I was no longer willing to take that gamble.

I didn't answer Shi Jiaren, but she enthusiastically escorted me to Fu Hanyu's hospital room. And at this moment, I saw bullet comments again.

[Wow, the female lead baby just separated from Fu Hanyu, came downstairs, and ran into the supporting female character, and was even brought up by her. What a perfect battlefield scene?] [It's all about the thrill. These two were kissing inseparably behind the supporting female character's back, and now they meet again. So exciting!]

So the so-called female lead baby from the bullet comments was Shi Jiaren?

7

Blood rushed to my head. I couldn't believe the conclusion I had reached. But when Shi Jiaren helped me move a chair nearby, her neck was exposed. Intimate marks extended to unseen depths.

She skillfully found the cushion I always used on the chair from the cabinet and took the cup from my bag to pour me a glass of water.

All my anger miraculously calmed down at this moment. Seeing this, what else didn't I understand?

The so-called female lead from the bullet comments was Shi Jiaren. This person who knew from the beginning that Fu Hanyu and I were married yet still got involved with him was the "female lead baby."

Perhaps my gaze was too cold and resentful, as Shi Jiaren showed a nervous expression. "Senior, what's wrong with you?"

[Look at the supporting female character's gaze, it's so scary. Did she discover something?] [So what if she discovered? For three years, how good Shi Jiaren has been to the supporting female character is obvious to all. If you must blame someone, blame the male lead for not controlling his lower body.] [That's right. What's wrong with Shi Jiaren being brave for love?]

I couldn't help but sneer. I really wanted to know what kind of story world I was in. They actually categorized someone who knowingly became a mistress as an innocent woman who hadn't harmed me? Called interfering in someone else's family being brave for love? Even said that after I discovered the truth, taking revenge on Shi Jiaren was the so-called disgusting female competition?

I put away these thoughts and didn't take the water cup Shi Jiaren offered, but looked at the cup with a cold smile. "Nothing. It's late. You should go back to school."

The smile on Shi Jiaren's face froze, but seeing my complexion was truly poor, she put down the water cup and left.

I looked at Fu Hanyu lying in bed and said: "Fu Hanyu, I know everything. Stop pretending. Get up!"

Fu Hanyu was addicted to pretending and showed no reaction. I scoffed but didn't force him to get up.

My parents died early in a factory accident. My grandmother taught me only how to survive with my own hands, not how to distinguish between kindness and malice. My few friends in the past said I was always slower to react than others—to put it nicely, I was too insensitive; to put it bluntly, I was stupid. I hadn't taken it seriously before, but now I had to admit, they were right.

If I weren't stupid, I wouldn't have just discovered that Fu Hanyu and Shi Jiaren were deceiving me together, nor would I have given Fu Hanyu the house my grandparents left me and the compensation for my parents' death for his medical treatment.

But though I was stupid, my grandmother taught me that when you're wrong, you correct it, and when something is rotten, you throw it away. Since Fu Hanyu was a bitter fruit from the beginning, once I'd tasted enough bitterness, it was time to throw it away.

8

Early the next morning, I went to Fu Hanyu's attending doctor to arrange his discharge and demanded the hospital refund all the hospitalization fees I had advanced for Fu Hanyu.

When the doctor heard my request, he looked as shocked as Shi Jiaren had when she saw me last night.

"Weren't you going to find a doctor for Mr. Fu? Why do you want to discharge him now?"

I coldly looked at the doctor I had interacted with for three years. Initially, he said he could definitely cure Fu Hanyu, which was why I stayed at this hospital for three years. These three years, he had also been actively examining Fu Hanyu. I used to think he was a responsible doctor, but now I see it was just his means of helping Fu Hanyu keep me.

"Doctor Jia, you know better than I do whether Fu Hanyu is actually sick or not."

He remained silent. Probably because I had accumulated too much disappointment, I could actually laugh at this moment. Without waiting for his answer, I returned to the hospital room, packed my things and left, but I didn't take Fu Hanyu. I also charged the phone I had bought for him long ago and placed it by the window.

The house my grandparents left me sold for 1.3 million, plus the 100,000 the hospital refunded to me, I now had a total of 1.4 million in hand. At current housing prices, I could still buy a small apartment with money left over, but I wasn't in the mood for that now. I just wanted to get completely away from Fu Hanyu.

I found a suitably priced hotel and checked in. I took out my marriage certificate with Fu Hanyu and his ID card, put them in a pocket, and had a courier deliver them to Fu Hanyu's hospital room.

9

Fu Hanyu realized he might have gone too far. When the doctor told him Jiang Tian had arranged his discharge, he thought it was a joke. But immediately, a courier delivered a pocket to him. Inside were his and Jiang Tian's marriage certificate and his ID card, along with a note.

[Fu Hanyu, we'll process the divorce tomorrow at ten AM. I'll wait for you.]

This time he couldn't keep pretending and sat up from the bed. Shi Jiaren, not understanding, pulled away from his arms. "Senior Fu, what's wrong?"

Fu Hanyu released Shi Jiaren and repeatedly confirmed the handwriting. "Jiang Tian wants to divorce me?"

Shi Jiaren wasn't surprised and linked arms with Fu Hanyu: "It's perfect that she's divorcing you. She's an orphan with low social status. She's not worthy of you. You deserve better."

Fu Hanyu shook off Shi Jiaren. He said coldly: "Who is better? You?"

He grabbed Shi Jiaren's chin: "I told you from the beginning that I was just playing with you. Don't think too much. I love Jiang Tian. I can't divorce her."

Love? Seeing this, I laughed out loud. This disgusting love. Fu Hanyu really dared to say it.

I cut off the video call from Fu Hanyu's phone, sent the recording to him, and called his phone. The phone went unanswered, so I kept calling.

Finally, Shi Jiaren answered the phone. "Senior Jiang, I just came to the hospital to see you and Senior Fu. Seeing you weren't here, Senior Fu's phone kept ringing. Did you encounter some trouble?"

It was the same excuse. I remembered encountering Shi Jiaren in the hospital room before, and she used the same words to convince me, making me not suspicious. But now... I scoffed.

"Should I call you the innocent third sister who knowingly became a mistress, or should I call you Miss Shi Jiaren, who is brave for love?"

"No, Senior Jiang, you misunderstood, I..."

"What did I misunderstand? Did I misunderstand that you knew Fu Hanyu and I were married yet still got involved with him, or did I misunderstand that you and he conspired to deceive me, or did I misunderstand that you clearly saw me but deliberately made noises in the room?"

The other party was silent. But I was tired of waiting for her to think of excuses to deceive me. "Give the phone to Fu Hanyu. After reading the message, he'll understand everything."

With that, I hung up the phone.

10

Actually, I hadn't expected that the phone I had just planned to test whether Fu Hanyu would get up from his hospital bed would capture his passionate scenes with Shi Jiaren. This was ironclad evidence against him. As long as he had any shame left, he wouldn't want to continue our marriage.

Three minutes later, I received a call from Fu Hanyu. "Tiantian, I was wrong! I'm sorry. Listen to me explain."

"Explain what? Where should I start explaining? From the beginning when you hid your identity to approach me, or from when you started pretending to be vegetative to deceive me?"

He was speechless. Thinking about these things, I was quite tired too. "Fu Hanyu, stop being disgusting. After the divorce, you be your young master, I'll walk my own path. Let's pretend nothing happened between us."

"No, Jiang Tian, I love you!"

"Pfft～ Your love is quite torturous." I sighed, my tone growing more determined: "Go torture someone else! I can't serve you anymore."

I reminded him not to forget to come to the Civil Affairs Bureau for divorce tomorrow morning. He didn't respond to me, and I didn't ask further.

11

That night, there was a knock on my hotel room door. I opened the door, and Fu Hanyu stood outside. I wasn't surprised.

Actually, I didn't really have a desire to become some powerful female lead. My original wish was just to find someone worth relying on to live an ordinary, peaceful life together.

During our relationship, I treated him with sincerity and made many compromises. In the three years he pretended to be vegetative, I was also devoted to him. If his heart wasn't made of stone, he should have come to give me an explanation.

But I also knew he was actually soft-hearted and easily moved. That he loved me was true, but his disgusting behavior was also true.

Seeing my silence, he said cautiously: "Jiang Tian, I'm sorry. The idea to deceive you was suggested by Shi Jiaren. I didn't want to treat you this way. Betraying you wasn't my intention."

"Then what was it?" "What?" I asked: "If betraying me wasn't your intention, then what was it?"

Fu Hanyu couldn't explain. I answered for him: "It's your nature! Fu Hanyu, Shi Jiaren is hateful and disgusting for knowingly becoming a mistress, but so are you, using this vegetative situation to deceive me, calling it a test of me, then shifting blame to others after being exposed. It's nothing more than being unable to accept that your nature is fickle, irresponsible, and without commitment. You can't accept your own betrayal."

"So you think you still deeply love me is true, and being disgusting is also true." "You want to maintain your devoted persona. You can deceive yourself, but you can't deceive me."

"We will definitely divorce, whether you agree or not."

His expression was dejected. I carefully looked at the face before me. I didn't know when, but I had forgotten what Fu Hanyu looked like with his eyes open. His current appearance felt very unfamiliar.

After a long while, he asked me calmly: "Who told you?"

Actually, the people around him were quite loyal to him. I wanted to say no one, but the words changed when they reached my lips. "It seems I was the only one by your side who didn't know your identity yet occupied your wife's position. Many people must covet this position, right?"

His expression darkened as he asked me again: "Jiang Tian, will you really not regret missing me? After all, you once loved money so much."

I sneered and directly closed the hotel room door. I do love money, but not this kind of money. He really thought I approached him for money. If I had been, I would have accepted it willingly, but I wasn't. This true heart cannot be trampled on.

12

The divorce proceeded smoothly. Fu Hanyu didn't make things difficult and handled the divorce efficiently. Before parting at the entrance, he called me back and handed me a document.

"Jiang Tian, thank you for your companionship these years. This is my compensation for you. Just sign, and this villa is yours."

I didn't take the document he offered. "If you really want to compensate, then sell it and transfer the money to me. My account number hasn't changed."

His face looked unpleasant as he took back the document in his hand, turned around, and got in the car. I too had no desire to纠缠 and walked a few steps before remembering the unwarranted medical expenses I had covered for him over the years. I planned to have him transfer that to me as well.

But I didn't expect to see bullet comments the moment I turned around. [The male and female leads have finally achieved their happy ending. Next are the pure sweet scenes from erotic novels.] [I really hope they make passionate love for dozens more chapters for us to see what new tricks they can unlock.] [The female lead baby has endured for three years. It hasn't been easy.]

Fu Hanyu's car began to shake slightly. I stopped in my tracks. So the bullet comments were for erotic novel readers. Then never mind.

But Fu Hanyu and Shi Jiaren, if they were a legitimate couple, could be as erotic as they wanted. But they absolutely shouldn't bring their eroticism to me.

Fu Hanyu's power was overwhelming, and I couldn't do anything about him for now. But Shi Jiaren wasn't like that. She was approaching graduation, and her graduate school recommendations and evaluations were at a critical stage. Since she could do those things, I supposed she wouldn't care about these things.

13

I took out the computer I had bought years ago. It still had Fu Hanyu's login credentials for the school forum and the group chats he had joined using my computer.

Using Fu Hanyu's name, I reported Shi Jiaren for knowingly becoming a mistress. I also described Shi Jiaren's behavior in text in the groups Fu Hanyu had joined. It caused a huge uproar.

That same evening, Shi Jiaren found me directly through messages in the group. She naturally recognized Fu Hanyu's account at a glance, but she knew the person sending those messages wasn't Fu Hanyu.

Shi Jiaren: [Jiang Tian, is this interesting to you? Fu Hanyu won't come back to your side!]

My intention wasn't to have Fu Hanyu come back to my side anyway. So I calmly replied to her.

Me: [I never wanted Fu Hanyu to come back to my side anyway. He's just a rotten cucumber. I wouldn't take him even if he were free.]

Shi Jiaren: [Do you know how important those things are to me? If it's not for Fu Hanyu, then why are you doing this?]

Me: [Can't you tell? To take revenge on you.]

Shi Jiaren: [Treating me like this, Fu Hanyu won't let you off.]

I wasn't clear what Fu Hanyu really felt about Shi Jiaren, but I knew he loved me. Perhaps he never thought about separating from me, just thought about pulling away when he got tired, pretending nothing happened. I understood his psychology.

So I had hinted to him that Shi Jiaren had told me everything.

I didn't know if Fu Hanyu would let me off, but I knew he wouldn't let her off.

As expected, I guessed correctly. After divorcing me, Fu Hanyu quickly returned to his family, gradually taking over his family's business. Shi Jiaren's expected plot of Fu Hanyu rising in anger for his beauty and proving her innocence didn't arrive. Instead, what came was fuel being added to the fire about her interfering in someone else's family, and her affair even made trending topics.

In my spare time between job hunting and finding a place to live, I saw the trending topics and then received a call from Shi Jiaren.

"Jiang Tian, was it you? Are you the one harming me?"

I was baffled but also took pleasure in her misfortune: "Not everyone has so much leisure to care about the love and hate between a mistress and a scumbag. Instead of questioning me, why don't you think about how sincere your canary's owner is toward you?"

I hung up her phone and blacklisted her.

1.4 million wasn't much, but it wasn't little either. I found a small, run-down one-bedroom apartment to live in, then investigated Fu Hanyu's family.

It turned out his family had more than one child. His father was just as promiscuous as him, and he had three sons who appeared publicly—one of whom was him, and he was an illegitimate son who had used dirty means to gain his position.

His identity didn't fare well in the already fierce succession battle. If there were more scandals, he would have no chance at the successor position and might even be pushed out of the family's center of power.

As I plotted how to smoothly deliver evidence of his infidelity to his nemesis, Shi Jiaren made her move. Probably my words made her discover that Fu Hanyu had never loved her, and seeing her embroiled in scandal, he even added fuel to the fire.

She also released evidence of Fu Hanyu's infidelity, fraudulent marriage, and affairs. This material was far more extensive than mine, and the black material about Fu Hanyu she revealed was far more explosive than mine, including how he had falsely claimed to be the family heir and harmed the group's interests.

This time I really did add fuel to the fire, clumsily spending considerable effort to increase the visibility of what Shi Jiaren had posted, then delivered the evidence in my hands to Fu Hanyu's brothers and his rivals.

Under successive attacks from his rivals and nemeses, Fu Hanyu dominated the trending topics. At the same time, his family's stock plummeted, losing tens of billions in market value in two days.

Finally, his father issued a statement, saying it was his personal behavior and would not be linked to the group. This was undoubtedly publicly stating he would not participate in internal family matters, and the successor position would no longer fall to him.

Making no contribution to the group, he didn't hold many shares to begin with. Under various pressures, he probably decided to just let it all hang out. He began to openly confess his various romantic escapades with Shi Jiaren and how she had advised him to test me.

Netizens said they were both disgusting and should be locked up together. Fu Hanyu didn't refute it,一边 saying he loved me, 一边又骂着Shi Jiaren。

Shi Jiaren had already lost her graduate school recommendations and evaluation opportunities because of my report. Under Fu Hanyu's various colorful descriptions, her reputation was completely destroyed. The school expelled her near graduation. After spending three years of her youth, she ended up with a notorious reputation. Probably also deciding to let it all hang out, she began to criticize Fu Hanyu's false devotion and bizarre statements.

Back and forth, the two argued incessantly. Watching them tear each other apart daily like dogs fighting, I was quite satisfied.

But I didn't expect that at this time, I also received money from Fu Hanyu. 2.7 million—this number seemed odd. I remembered when we divorced, he said he wanted to give me a villa. Could this be half its selling price? That villa had looked quite luxurious. Was this all it was worth?

As it turned out, I guessed correctly. Fu Hanyu sent me a message.

Fu Hanyu: I'm sorry, Jiang Tian. The harm I caused you cannot be compensated for. This is the money from selling the villa I originally intended to give you. But I'm short on cash right now, so I can only give you half.

Seeing this, I laughed. But I still took the money and used it to open an account and buy treasury bonds. I also gave Fu Hanyu an itemized list.

This was all the money I had spent during the three years Fu Hanyu pretended to be vegetative. A total of 2.34 million.

Even though Fu Hanyu gave me 2.7 million, I didn't owe him much. He gave it to me, so I took it. I had given him my true heart and energy in exchange for 360,000 from him. He didn't lose out, and besides, a scumbag's money—if you don't take it, you're a fool. If I didn't squeeze every last penny from him and couldn't see him and Shi Jiaren rot together, I wouldn't be satisfied.

Someone who interferes in another's relationship deserves ten slaps, but a scumbag deserves the full eighteen dragon-subduing palms.

I didn't plan to have any more contact with Fu Hanyu. I chose a city suitable for retirement and used the remaining money to buy a small house, settling in South City.

In my leisure time, I started contacting old friends. When they learned of my situation, some sympathized, some said I was stupid. I laughed without refuting. Anyone would say I was stupid for giving up the chance at billion-dollar wealth, but I didn't think so.

Fu Hanyu had never treated me as his wife but as a pet. I couldn't accept that. Call me squeamish or stupid, but the pursuit of life is nothing more than following one's heart and being happy. He couldn't give me that, so why should I force it?

They advised me again to find a more outstanding man to anger Fu Hanyu and also to detach emotionally. I just smiled.

One man brought me suffering; why should I need another man to save me? Moreover, using an innocent person to detach emotionally?

I, Jiang Tian, just fell down; I'm not incapable of getting up. Forgetting Fu Hanyu—I can do that myself.
