The Aftermath of Divorcing the Wealthy Man chapter 3

The next day, Su Lingwei returned to the old Su family residence.

Her father, Father Su, had been waiting for her. Seeing her safe and sound, in good spirits, with a kind smile on his face, he said, “Weiwei, come here to Daddy.”

Su Lingwei ran over, smiling, and looped her arm around Father Su’s, sweetly calling out, “Dad.”

Father Su raised his hand to pat her head, just like when she was a child, and asked with concern, “Is everything taken care of?”

Su Lingwei nodded, “Everything’s taken care of, it all went smoothly.”

Father Su sighed softly at her words. He had always pampered his daughter, but she had still suffered such grievances. He felt sorry for her and said, “I will help you get it back.”

Su Lingwei remembered in her past life when Father Su had opposed her relationship with Xiao Zhenyu, made several wrong decisions, leading to investment mistakes, fund ruptures, and the bankruptcy of the company. She quickly dissuaded Father Su, asking him not to take risks for her.

“Dad, you don’t need to do anything for me. This is my own decision. Back then, I liked Xiao Zhenyu and insisted on marrying him. You couldn’t persuade me, so you helped me fulfill this wish through a commercial marriage.”

“Now I have figured it out myself, I don’t want to like him anymore, I don’t want him anymore. I’ve decided to let go. We parted ways amicably, and he has compensated me as he should. So, there’s no question of owing or not owing anything, and there’s no need to reclaim anything. Please don’t cause trouble for him because of me, okay?”

Su Lingwei advised earnestly, very worried. She stared at Father Su with wide eyes, not moving at all, urging Father Su to promise her, afraid that Father Su might act recklessly.

After all, Xiao Zhenyu was no longer the same as he was two or three years ago. At that time, Xiao’s father and mother had just passed away, leaving a mess for Xiao Zhenyu to deal with. Xiao Zhenyu had no choice but to agree to a commercial marriage. But now, the Xiao family had turned things around, Jiahe was no longer his rival, and Father Su must not take this risk.

Seeing Su Lingwei’s tense little face, Father Su felt even more distressed. He didn’t want her to worry too much, so he had to agree, “Okay, I promise you, I won’t trouble Xiao Zhenyu.”

Upon hearing Father Su’s agreement, Su Lingwei became even more worried. She was afraid that Father Su would do something dangerous behind her back.

Su Lingwei had a sudden inspiration. She held Father Su’s arm, coaxing him like a child, “Dad, I want to work at Jiahe. I’m divorced now and have nothing to do. It’s just idle time. Let me work at Jiahe, just to pass the time.”

Father Su chuckled at her words, lovingly patting her head and asking, “What will you do at Jiahe?”

“I can do anything, as long as I’m closer to you. When you have meetings, I’ll be with you. When you work, I’ll help you organize documents. Wherever you go, I’ll go.” Su Lingwei said seriously.

As long as she was with Father Su every day at the company, she would know about any decision he made, and she could prevent any wrong decisions in time.

“Dad, just promise me.” Su Lingwei shook Father Su’s arm and looked at him with shining eyes, a look of coaxing.

Father Su had never been able to resist Su Lingwei’s requests. He could only sigh lightly and indulgently say, “Alright, I promise you. I’ll go to the office on Monday.”

“Great, Dad, you’re the best. I love you, Dad.” Su Lingwei hugged Father Su’s arm tightly. In this lifetime, she would definitely protect Jiahe well.

“What’s the point of being divorced? Should we celebrate?” Su Lingwei’s friend, Li Xinran, asked on WeChat.

Apart from Father Su, Su Lingwei only told her friend Li Xinran about her divorce.

“Of course we should celebrate! Celebrate my return to being single. Tonight, we’ll go all out.” Su Lingwei quickly replied on WeChat, showing no sign of sadness or regret about her divorce, but rather like a bird flying out of a cage, joyous and free.

Li Xinran was also enthusiastic, “You’re the best, Sister Wei, long live Sister Wei, I love you, Sister Wei.”

The two then agreed to meet at 8 o’clock at the Supreme Bar.

Su Lingwei reapplied her makeup, changed into a hot dress suitable for the bar, and drove out.

When she arrived at the Supreme Bar, it was exactly eight o’clock. Su Lingwei found a parking spot and then received a call from Li Xinran.

“Have you arrived?” Li Xinran’s voice came from the phone.

“Yes, I have been since earlier. Look to your left.” Su Lingwei had already seen Li Xinran from the car and pointed her position out to her.

Li Xinran turned around and indeed saw Su Lingwei getting out of the car. She hung up the phone and happily walked over to hug Su Lingwei’s arm.

“Weiwei, you look beautiful tonight.”

Su Lingwei pinched Li Xinran’s cheek, “So do you.”

The two of them playfully entered the Supreme Bar together.

The bar was playing lively music, and someone was dancing on the stage. The bustling bar, upon entering, made adrenaline soar.

Su Lingwei and Li Xinran found two seats near the bar. The handsome bartender danced with the glasses in his hand like a juggler and smiled, “What would you beautiful ladies like to drink?”

Su Lingwei: “Tequila.”

Li Xinran: “Blue Margarita.”

“Alrighty.” The bartender smiled and confidently mixed the drinks, his movements fluid and mesmerizing, all in one go.

“Beautiful ladies, here’s your drinks.” The bartender first served Li Xinran her drink, placing the glass in front of her with a slight smile.

The blue liquid in the glass shimmered like a gem. Li Xinran took the glass and took a sip of the drink.

Su Lingwei rested her chin on her hand, looking at her with a slightly ambiguous gaze.

Li Xinran reached out and gently pinched her cheek, “What are you looking at?”

“You’re pretty.” Su Lingwei said with a smile.

But Li Xinran didn’t smile at all. She looked at her seriously and asked, “I’ve been holding back from asking you, but I still want to know. Why did you want to divorce Xiao Zhenyu? You pursued him for three years, finally got married after a lot of effort, it’s been two years already, why do you suddenly want a divorce?”

“He doesn’t love me!” Su Lingwei said calmly, as if she was talking about someone else’s business, without sadness or sorrow on her face, but rather a sense of relief. “I’ve loved him for too long, I’m tired, I don’t want to love anymore, so I’m leaving. Now I want to start my own new life.”

The deeper she loved in the previous life, the deeper the suffering and the suffering she endures in the end. She has had enough and doesn’t want to go through it again. Xiao Zhenyu, the further away he is, the better.

“Are you really at peace with this?” Li Xinran knew how much Su Lingwei loved Xiao Zhenyu. She had spent so much effort to win Xiao Zhenyu over. Su Lingwei’s heart and mind had been with Xiao Zhenyu all these years. Can someone who loves so deeply really let go so easily?

Su Lingwei nodded, raising her right hand. “I really am at peace. You don’t believe me? I can swear.”

“Okay, okay, I believe you.” Li Xinran quickly pulled her hand down, thinking it was better not to swear about everything.

The bartender happened to bring the drinks she ordered. Su Lingwei picked up her glass and clinked it with Li Xinran’s. “Here’s to my divorce, to a new life.”

“Cheers to a happy divorce,” Li Xinran sincerely wished her happiness.

As they were chatting and laughing, a tall, handsome man walked over. He smiled and greeted Su Lingwei and Li Xinran, “Weiwei, Xinran, long time no see!”

Su Lingwei’s long eyelashes trembled, and for a moment, she couldn’t remember who he was.
