Luo Ying stood at the front door.
She appeared severely haggard after a few days in the hospital. Her lips and face were pale.
Lu Zhao went downstairs and noticed Luo Ying standing next to Jin Shi.
She wore a white sweater and wide-leg pants. She looked so frail that her entire body appeared to float. It was as if she’d be blown away in an instant.
Lu Zhao clenched his fists, resisting the urge to walk over to Luo Ying’s side and embrace her.
“What brings you here?” Lu Zhao inquired coldly.
“I should be the one to asking. Why, even though you’re getting a divorce, is your house password still your ex-wife’s birthday?” Luo Ying smiled sardonically.
Lu Zhao peered at her closely. Her eyes were brimming with tears, but she was putting on a strong front and fighting hard not to blink.
Lu Zhao felt a sharp pain in his chest. “That’s about to change. I’m about to marry Lin Jin, so I have better things to care about. However, Ms. Luo, you should not barge into other people’s homes.”
What an distant title.
Luo Ying looked at Lu Zhao, wanting to ask him why.
But she fought back those words. She simply pulled a document from her bag and tossed it in front of Lu Zhao. “Divorce settlement. I want nothing. Just end it.”
Lu Zhao took the document. Luo Ying wanted absolutely nothing.
“I want nothing from you. I’ll have my brother arrange for someone to remove everything today,” said Luo Ying.
“No need for that. I’ve already arranged for someone to clean up Lancheng Garden. Feel free to stay there. I’ve also requested for Zhang to send your belongings over,” said Lu Zhao. He reached out and ripped the agreement in his hand apart.
When Luo Ying looked at Lu Zhao, a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. However, it was quickly snuffed out the next second.
“I’ve created a new document just for you. Go ahead and sign it.” Lu Zhao took the document from the coffee table and placed it in front of Luo Ying.
Luo Ying opened the document and read through it.
It included automobiles, houses, antiques, and 5% of the Luya Group’s stock.
If Luo Ying recalled correctly, Lu Zhao only owned 5% of the company.
“What is the meaning of this?” Luo Ying looked at the agreement, puzzled. “Do you even think the Lu Family would allow me to have anything?”
Lu Zhao snorted coldly. “Our Lu family does not lack for money. I’ll give you everything. I still have so much to give my newlywed wife.”
The phrase “newlywed wife” pierced Luo Ying’s heart.
“We haven’t divorced yet, and you’ve already told the media that you’re divorcing and marrying Lin Jin. You’re quite decisive,” with a bitter smile, Luo Ying said.
“Yes.” Lu Zhao inhaled deeply and tried to sound more natural.
“I’m sick of you already. Don’t you realize I’ve had enough? Accidents happen all the time when I’m with you. You could be a jinx, as Grandpa described you. I just want to get rid of you now.
“I can still find my mother as long as I listen to Grandpa. I don’t have to be worried every day. Isn’t that wonderful?”
Yes, he could get everything he desired if he married Lin Jin.
The Lu Family’s holdings, Lin Jin, and the whereabouts of his mother.
When she witnessed the joy on Lu Zhao’s face, Luo Ying realized that this man had made up his mind to break up with her.
Luo Ying closed her eyes and exhaled deeply. The image of them interacting with one another lingered in her mind. Her feet gave way and she nearly collapsed.
Jin Shi stood behind Luo Ying, frowning and shaking his head at Lu Zhao. Although Lu Zhao was only putting on an act, it would be bad if he did not ease up.
“Just sign it.” Lu Zhao shoved the agreement in front of Luo Ying.
His hands trembled slightly, but Luo Ying didn’t notice it.
She was still clinging onto hope, but Lu Zhao had said such hurtful words. She was beginning to suspect that Lu Zhao disliked her.
Perhaps this was fate. Perhaps she was meant to leave him and start over.
“Fine.” Luo Ying nodded and signed the paper with her name. She turned to face Lu Zhao. “I hope you get everything you want after you divorce me.” Someone knocked on the door at that moment.
Lin Jin’s sweet voice came from outside. “Lu Zhao, it’s me, sweetie. I’ve already started packing.. Can I move in tomorrow?”
