Sea City, Bassin Shell Coffee.

It was the rainy season, and it was raining non-stop.

Miss Liu, who was wearing a white collared shirt, placed a piece of paper in front of Jian Xing’er.

Miss Liu said, “Jian Xing’er, you should understand what President Hou means.”

Jian Xing’er looked at the divorce agreement in front of her with an impassive expression.

Jian Xing’er said, “What? People don’t even need to show up for divorces nowadays?”

“Also, is this what Junlai wants, or what you want?”

Jian Xing’er had a self-deprecating smile on her face.

Jian Xing’er had thought that Hou Junlai would be the love of her life.

The two of them had been together for so many years and had experienced so much.

In the past three years, they had also been much bliss and laughter.

But now, things had come to this.

Who could be blamed?

Jian Xing’er loved Junlai so much. In order to wait for Junlai, she rejected all sorts of outstanding men, she came home from work on time every day and rarely went out to shop. She didn’t even have many friends. How was she, Jian Xing’er, to be blamed?

Or was her husband, who had built his career from scratch and was known as an aloof hunkie, to be blamed?

Now, it was meaningless.

Miss Liu had a hint of disdain on her face as she said in a mocking tone, “Jian Xing’er, there’s no need to pester President Hou anymore. You were indeed very good before, but you’re no longer worthy of him now.”

“Mr. Hou is an internationally famous CEO. You’re just a lousy doctor.”

At this point, Miss Liu deliberately paused for a moment before slowly continuing, “It’s better to sign the divorce papers quickly. To put it bluntly, you’re not worthy of being by President Hou’s side now. President Hou should be with a more outstanding person in the future. He definitely shouldn’t be with an ordinary and incompetent person like you.”

Jian Xing’er remained calm and silent.

When Miss Liu saw this, she immediately frowned and said, “President Hou has already given you enough respect. You have to know that even if you don’t sign it, President Hou has a way to get a divorce. Jian Xing’er, don’t drag this on. Putting the past behind is better for everyone.”

Upon hearing Miss Liu’s words, Jian Xing’er laughed self-deprecatingly.

Jian Xing’er laughed at how worthless her love was. She laughed at how what she had once thought was her safest harbor was going to be destroyed now.

When he needed help, he looked for her, his so-called ordinary wife, but now that things were going well and his career had taken off, she had been abandoned.

When Miss Liu saw Jian Xing’er’s smile, she frowned.

Miss Liu asked, “What’s so funny?”

Hearing Miss Liu’s question, Jian Xing’er slowly calmed down.

Jian Xing’er said indifferently, “I’m laughing at this pitiful love.”

“Back then, I, Jian Xing’er, chose Hou Junlai among so many people. I ignored everyone’s objections and thought that Hou Junlai was my true love. The Hou family was very delighted.”

“It’s only been a few years, but Hou Junlai has already forgotten about me.”

“What love? What Hou family?”

Jian Xing’er had a mocking look in her eyes as she spoke sarcastically.

Jian Xing’er didn’t care how ugly Miss Liu’s expression was. She continued, “Let Hou Junlai come and look for me personally. Who do you think you are to tell me this?!”

With that, Jian Xing’er stood up and left.

Miss Liu sat on the sofa with an ugly expression.

No matter what, as Hou Junlai’s right-hand man, Miss Liu naturally had a sense of pride.

How could she not be angry when such a lowly person had called her a nobody?

Miss Liu was about to stand up when someone came in.

The person who came in was dressed in a high-quality handmade suit. This aloof man exuded the aura of a CEO.

When Miss Liu saw the man, she immediately jogged over and said with her head lowered, “President Hou.”

The person who came in was Hou Junlai.

When Jian Xing’er saw Hou Junlai, she said calmly, “Sit.”

Hou Junlai nodded and sat beside Miss Liu.

With a self-deprecating smile on her face, Jian Xing’er sat opposite Hou Junlai.

They were both silent.

The atmosphere seemed tense.

In the end, Jian Xing’er placed the divorce agreement in front of Hou Junlai again and asked with a smile, “You want me to sign it?”

Hou Junlai was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect Jian Xing’er to be so straightforward. For some reason, his heart ached.

After thinking for a moment, Hou Junlai nodded and whispered, “Sign it. The gap between us is already insurmountable. We’re already people from two different worlds.”

“You can ask for anything. As long as I can do it, I’ll definitely satisfy you.”

Hou Junlai had already shown his greatest sincerity, so he believed that no one in this world would refuse such a proposal.

However, Jian Xing’er had a smile on her face as she looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar man in front of her.

Jian Xing’er asked indifferently, “Is everything in your world priced so clearly?”

Hou Junlai frowned slightly but didn’t say anything.

Miss Liu couldn’t take it anymore and scolded, “Jian Xing’er, you’re too shameless. President Hou is already very sincere. If it weren’t for President Hou being too kind, you…”

Before Miss Liu could finish speaking, Hou Junlai interrupted her and said, “Mingyue, I’ll tell her myself.”

Miss Liu glanced at Jian Xing’er angrily.

Jian Xing’er was a lazy piece of trash who had delusions of a luxurious life.

How disgusting.

Hou Junlai took a deep breath and said calmly, “Jian Xing’er, you…”

Without waiting for Junlai to speak, Jian Xing’er interrupted Hou Junlai.

After Jian Xing’er signed the divorce agreement, she smiled and said, “I know what you mean. After signing it, we’ll part on good terms. I won’t pester you again in the future. We’ll pretend that we never met.”

“I don’t want anything of yours. I got my answer. That’s more than enough.”

With that, Jian Xing’er stood up and turned around to prevent Hou Junlai from seeing the tears in her eyes.

Just now, Jian Xing’er had tried to find a trace of coercion in Hou Junlai’s eyes. Unfortunately, Jian Xing’er was overthinking things.

From Hou Junlai’s eyes, Jian Xing’er only saw seriousness and determination.

It turned out that Hou Junlai really wanted a divorce.

Hou Junlai actually thought that Jian Xing’er was no longer worthy of him.

What a joke. Jian Xing’er started laughing.

After laughing enough, Jian Xing’er turned around and looked at Hou Junlai with a smile.

Jian Xing’er said, “Three years can change a lot of things, right, Junlai?”

With that, Jian Xing’er turned around and left with determination.

Seeing that Jian Xing’er was gone, Hou Junlai immediately heaved a sigh of relief, but a trace of loneliness appeared on his face.

Miss Liu was very familiar with Hou Junlai, so of course she knew that Hou Junlai was genuinely a little sad at this moment.

No matter what, this was the romance of his youth, an indelible memory.

The moment Jian Xing’er signed it, it meant that the romance of their youth had come to an end. How could he not be sad?

Miss Liu comforted him, “President Hou, it’s not your fault. You didn’t do anything wrong. Jian Xing’er is the one in the wrong. If Jian Xing’er had worked hard to follow in your footsteps and stayed on the same level as you, things wouldn’t have ended like this.”

A bitter smile appeared on Hou Junlai’s face as he stared at the drizzle outside the window and said indifferently, “I understand, but I lost the person who loves me the most.”

Miss Liu immediately said, “President Hou, someone will love you more in the future.”

…

In the Ye family’s villa.

Hou Xiaoyu shouted, “Mom, it’s done! My brother and Jian Xing’er are divorced!”

“Just now, Jian Xing’er signed the divorce papers!”

When the Hou family found out that Hou Junlai and Jian Xing’er had successfully divorced, they smiled.

Mr. Hou looked calm and silent.

The smile on Mrs. Hou’s face was the widest, as if she had accomplished something monumental.

The person who spoke was Hou Junlai’s sister. Hou Xiaoyu sat beside her mother and continued, “Mom, although my brother her, he’s too kind. I heard that not only did he give Jian Xing’er a car and a house, but he also gave her two million yuan in cash!”

As soon as Hou Xiaoyu finished speaking, Mrs. Hou’s eyes widened.

Mrs. Hou shouted angrily, “What did you say?! He gave her so much money?”

“That won’t do. He can’t compensate her with so much money!”

Hou Xiaoyu immediately nodded and said, “That’s right, but you know what kind of person my brother is. No one can change his mind.”

“Although he should compensate Jian Xing’er, since Jian Xing’er paid my tuition back then, the compensation shouldn’t be so much.”

That’s right. When Hou Junlai and Jian Xing’er first got married, the Hou family was just an ordinary family and they were even a little poor.

Fortunately, Jian Xing’er had a high-paying job. She saved some money and even used it to support the Hou family.

It included tuition fees and living expenses for Hou Xiaoyu.

Although Mrs. Hou knew this, she still couldn’t accept giving Jian Xing’er so much compensation.

Mrs. Hou said to Mr. Hou, “Say something. Junlai gave too much compensation, right?”

“It’s true that Jian Xing’er helped our family back then, but don’t forget that the first thing Junlai did after he earned money was to buy Jian Xing’er’s parents’ a house and buy a villa for our family.”

“Although according to the law, Junlai and Jian Xing’er have joint assets, Jian Xing’er shouldn’t be given two million yuan!”

“I know that all of Jian Xing’er’s expenses for the past few years were paid by Junlai, so Jian Xing’er should have a lot of money now.”

“They’re divorced now, and everyone knows that it’s because Jian Xing’er isn’t worthy of Junlai anymore, so of course she shouldn’t be given so much money.”

Mrs. Hou still couldn’t accept paying so much compensation, so she began to talk about Jian Xing’er’s past.

When Mr. Hou heard his wife’s words, he sighed and shook his head. “I don’t know anything else. I only know that Jian Xing’er helped us during our most difficult times.”

“Back then, you didn’t approve of Junlai and Jian Xing’er’s marriage. Now, Junlai has become successful and has changed for the better, but Jian Xing’er has always been kind and filial to us.”

“Therefore, I don’t think Junlai gave her too much. In fact, it’s too little.

When Mrs. Hou heard this, she was even more dissatisfied. She immediately stood up and shouted angrily, “What nonsense are you talking about?!”

“I admit that Jian Xing’er helped our family back then, but don’t forget that the house Junlai bought for Jian Xing’er’s parents was worth a million yuan. It’s enough to make up for Jian Xing’er!”

Mr. Hou immediately said, “You’re living a good life now, but have you forgotten how difficult things were in the past?!”

With that, Mr. Hou shook his head with a sigh and stood up to leave.

He didn’t want to bicker with the rest of the Hou family.

Seeing Mr. Hou leave with a sigh, Mrs. Hou was even angrier.

Hou Xiaoyu immediately said, “Mom, don’t be angry. My father is old, so don’t lower yourself to his level. I think we should go and get the money or the house back from Jian Xing’er now.”

“My husband is doing well now, but he needs to buy a good car in order to discuss more business deals. I want to help him too.”

Mrs. Hou had nowhere to vent her anger, so she said resentfully, “If only you could be as mature and successful as your brother.”

“But no matter what, the money has to be returned. Junlai has already given her a lot of compensation.”

Mrs. Hou decided that she had to get the money back.

Then, Mrs. Hou seemed to have thought of something and continued, “Jian Xing’er might look kind, but she’s quite cunning behind the surface. If it’s just the two of us, Jian Xing’er definitely won’t give it to us.”

“Do you remember that girl who is pursuing your brother? Her name is Liu Xin’er. Call her over to help us.”

Hou Xiaoyu nodded and said, “Are you talking about Sister Xin’er?”

“Mom, don’t worry. This is Sister Xin’er’s idea in the first place. As long as you agree, we’ll go look for Jian Xing’er now and get the money back.”

“With Sister Xin’er around, I don’t believe Jian Xing’er won’t return the money.”

When Mrs. Hou heard this, she immediately got dressed and was about to leave.

Mrs. Hou said, “Let’s go. How can I let others get my son’s hard-earned money?!”

…

Sea City, Central Residence.

This was the best villa area in Sea City. Those who lived here were all famous figures in Sea City.

In the villa.

Jian Xing’er sat on the sofa as she stared at the luxuriously decorated house. It felt so unfamiliar yet familiar.

She had an indescribable feeling.

This villa had been through Jian Xing’er and Hou Junlai’s start from scratch. It was also the result of their hard efforts.

Although Jian Xing’er had expected this day to come, she didn’t expect it to come so quickly.

In order to prevent such a thing from happening, Jian Xing’er had tried her best to appease Hou Junlai.

However, in the end, all of Jian Xing’er’s gentleness was meaningless.

Jian Xing’er sighed and looked at the “Playboy” magazine on the table. There was an aloof and handsome man on the cover.

Jian Xing’er watched as this man started from scratch, but she didn’t expect that Hou Junlai, who was once unworthy of her in the eyes of others, would become someone out of her league.

Hou Junlai had become an outstanding young entrepreneur in Sea City. As a handsome upstart, he had become the dream man of countless young women and girls in Sea City.

Jian Xing’er muttered to herself, “That’s right. A hunk who came from nothing and is now worth billions is being pursued by countless beautiful and enchanting girls. How can a nameless doctor like me be worthy of him?”

Jian Xing’er smiled self-deprecatingly. Perhaps she had already become a stain on Junlai’s reputation.

Jian Xing’er put the magazine on the table with a sigh. She didn’t want to see it again.

Jian Xing’er looked at the house again, then stood up to pack her things and leave.

At this moment, the phone rang.

As soon as she picked up the call, a voice came from the other end. “Miracle Doctor Jian, are you free now?”

Jian Xing’er wasn’t in the mood, so she hung up.

The phone kept ringing.

Jian Xing’er simply turned off her phone. She wasn’t in the mood for this now.

However, a look of pity flashed across Jian Xing’er’s eyes.

Miracle Doctor Jian?

It had been a long time since anyone had called her that.
