Chapter 5

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In just two short days, Wu Man experienced something that an ordinary person would never experience in their entire life.

After her husband cheated on her, he and his mistress plotted to kill her.

She and the mayor got drunk and had sex.

Her brain was about to explode. Before she entered the office, she subconsciously looked back.

Li Dongsheng’s car was still parked in the same place.

She suddenly noticed a small detail. Previously, Li Dongsheng had driven a Maybach with a license plate of five eights. Now, he had specially given her a Honda with a license plate that cost more than 200,000 yuan.

This detail warmed Wu Man’s heart.

She shook her head and forced herself to forget about Li Dongsheng’s gentleness.

She was an ordinary woman. She was not a beauty, and her abilities were not outstanding. Moreover, she was already married. It was impossible for her to have any future with Li Dongsheng.

Even if she were to successfully divorce Lin Ziqian in the future, as a divorcee, she would not be worthy of the mayor.

Her thoughts ran wild. After an unknown period of time, someone called her out again.

She asked the colleague who came to deliver the message, “Who is looking for me?”

The colleague shook his head. “She said she’s your sister. There’s something going on at home and she wants you to go out and see her.”

Wu Man’s heart sank. This person must have come with ill intentions. She was the only child.

She walked out with heavy footsteps and saw Wang Jiaojiao’s arrogant and despotic face.

The two of them sat down in the coffee shop opposite her office building. Wang Jiaojiao went straight to the point and asked, “Do you know who I am?”

Wu Man subconsciously nodded and then shook her head.

The corners of Wang Jiaojiao’s mouth curled up into a smile. She stirred the coffee with a spoon. “Ziqian said that he could handle it, but I really can’t wait any longer.”

Wu Man took a deep breath and asked in a hoarse voice, “What are you trying to say?”

Wang Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows. “I want you to divorce Ziqian as soon as possible. Didn’t you realize that he hasn’t loved you for a long time?”

Wu Man asked in confusion, “What’s so good about Lin Ziqian that you’re willing to be a third party?”

Wang Jiaojiao wagged her index finger. “I’m not a third party. A third party is someone who isn’t loved.”

Wu Man did not know what to say when she heard her unrighteous words.

Wang Jiaojiao cupped her chin and continued, “You should be glad that you were born in the modern era. You and Ziqian have been together for so many years, yet you still can’t give him a child. If it were in ancient times, you would have been divorced. Be sensible and leave. Don’t pester us anymore.”

Wu Man was so angry that she laughed. Wang Jiaojiao’s words showed that she had completed ignored the truth. Wu Man could not help but say, “It’s clear you two are adulterers, yet you want me to leave my family with nothing?”

“Mind your words.” Wang Jiaojiao pulled a long face. “I remember that your father also works at Wang Corporation, right? If you don’t want your father to lose his job in his old age, then don’t provoke me.”

After saying that, she directly poured the coffee in front of her on Wu Man’s head and left in a huff.

Wu Man was filled with grief, and large teardrops fell from her eyes.

She didn’t know why, but people who made mistakes were more stubborn, and innocent people were tortured instead.

Just like what Wang Jiaojiao had said, if she didn’t want her elderly parents to suffer because of her, she had to suffer in silence.

Just as she was heartbroken, a piece of clothing draped over her body.

She turned around in surprise and saw Li Dongsheng’s face.

Li Dongsheng picked up a tissue and gently wiped her face. “I was going to pick you up from work, but I didn’t expect to see a little crybaby.”

Wu Man was like a baby bird that had seen its mother. She was like a ship that had finally docked at the shore. She felt that she, who had no one to rely on, now had support.

She crashed into Li Dongsheng’s arms and cried until she was out of breath.

Li Dongsheng rubbed her head in heartache and waited patiently for a while. When he saw that she had calmed down a little, he said, “Let’s go back and change first, okay? Your colleagues are about to get off work. You don’t want them to see you, do you?”

Wu Man looked down at her coffee-soaked clothes and nodded while sniffing.

She was like a pitiful puppy, obediently pulled by Li Dongsheng’s hand as she left with him.

Li Dongsheng brought her to a flat.

He ordered his assistant to buy a new set of clothes. He then knocked on the door and entered the bathroom.

Wu Man was taking a bath inside.

Li Dongsheng listened to the pitter-patter of the water and instantly felt an itch in his heart.

At the dinner last night, the first thing he saw was this little woman in the corner. She was curled up in a corner, but her milk-white skin was reflecting light. Her facial features were not so delicate, but she looked very comfortable.

She must be in a bad mood. The frown on her face was knotted, and the look on her face made one’s heart melt.

After living for more than thirty years, this was the first time Li Dongsheng had experienced the feeling of being moved.

Thinking of her impotent husband, his face darkened. If it were not for the fear of scaring Wu Man, he might have used his power to force them to get a divorce in the next second..
