They lived in the same dormitory, but didn't share the same major. The relationship between them had been mediocre. Only after hanging out a few times before the graduation ceremony, they got closer.
Michelle's family background was all right. Why then did she only aim for the rich?
She tightened her lips and said, "Michelle, I seldom hung out since I got married to Zed. Neither did I take part in those parties. Besides, the rich guys might not be serious with you, most of them are playboys. Even if you are married to one, you will suffer. So why don't you ..."
"That's because you don't have the confidence to grab the heart of your man. But I do." Her eyes widened. There were expectations in her eyes, which made her eyes bright and shiny.
Jean fell into silence.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her silence, Michelle pouted, "You are not going to refuse helping your classmate and also your good friend, right?"
Jean didn't know how to answer Michelle. She didn't have any connections nor participate in any parties. It was not how Michelle imagined it to be. Jean did not attend upper class parties everyday after she got married to a rich guy. After considering, she decided to tell her the truth.
"Michelle, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that Zed and I are getting divorced. I'm afraid I won't be much help." Jean clenched her teeth. She cared about her classmate.
She didn't want Michelle to fight with her just because they had different opinions on the matter.
Michelle put away the expectations on her face and glared at her angrily, "Jean, I was nice to you back in college, wasn't I? I'm only asking you to introduce me some rich guys. Is it so hard for you? When I asked you for help last time, you used that as an excuse too. Aren't I your friend? Are you trying to deny your classmate since you married a rich man?"
"No, it's not like that. Michelle, I really ..."
"That's enough. You can just tell me if you don't want to help me. I'm not thick-skinned. Since you don't cherish our friendship, we'd b
“Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!”
Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.
“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"
here wouldn't be anything between them once they divorced. But now, she felt that the sky had fallen down.
What happened? His parents were back and asked to see her. How did it end up like this?
Jean dazed for a while and frowned, "Can't you just tell your parents that we are getting divorced now? What's in plan for me after meeting them? Don't you have Eva? How about letting Eva meet them instead?"
She said in succession and glared at him angrily. Her eyes turned red as if she was going to cry. She finally made up her mind to be away from him but now his parents showed up at such a crucial time.
This was outrageous!
Zed was calm at first but he seemed to have got pissed off by her. His face was getting darker and darker. He looked down on her, "Jean Wen, it is up to me whether to divorce you or not. You have no rights to ask me for a divorce! Even if it was I who called you here, I have the right to change my mind!"
"Then use your right to change things. What deal, what marriage, I don't care anymore. You can do whatever you want. I won't meet your parents so take your time to clean up this mess." She clenched her teeth as she glared at him resentfully and left.
People around them didn't take it seriously since it was common to see couples fight before the City hall. How would they get divorced if they get on well with each other?
