Yao Huai Jin frowned in displeasure, "Why pretend to be asleep when you are already awake? Shen Yuan, is it fun to eavesdrop on others?"
My son also mumbled unhappily, "Yeah, you scared me."
An unrelated nurse rushed over the moment she noticed I was awake, showing concern for me.
But these two, the closest people to me in the world, only offered baseless accusations after I opened my eyes.
Feeling disheartened, I no longer had the patience to deal with this father-son duo.
"Yao Huai Jin, as you wish, let's get a divorce."
I demanded my rightful share of the assets, but Yao Huai Jin refused with a dark expression.
"Your personal assets may not be less than mine; why do you insist on taking my share?"
Before we got married, he had specially drafted a declaration to protect my rights.
After marriage, my personal income was not included in the couple's joint property, and the right to dispose of it belonged solely to me.
At that time, I laughed at him for being overly cautious.
I never expected he would have such foresight and already anticipated what would happen years later.
I smiled self-deprecatingly.
I stood firm and refused to back down.
My wealth was my own business; who would complain about having too much money?
I threatened him that if he did not agree, I would expose his affair with Jiang Huanhuan online. With my influence in the entertainment industry, I could ruin his reputation overnight.
Yao Huai Jin gritted his teeth and agreed.
On the day I moved out of the the Gu Family, Jiang Huanhuan stood at the door with Yao Huai Jin, smiling smugly. My son An An also made a face at me.
"Yay! Mommy is finally leaving! Dad and I can finally be a family with Huanhuan Mommy!"
I looked at the three of them standing at the door.
Suddenly, I recalled a certain midnight a few days ago when the system urgently woke me up.
"Host, wake up quickly! There is an urgent message to inform you!"
I was still drowsy and turned over, mumbling, "What could be so important that it has to be told in the middle of the night?"
"Host, I mentioned before that you are not the only Strategist in this world. Each Strategist originally had their own tasks, which were unrelated to each other. However, one Strategist has been bought off by the External System. If she successfully completes her strategy, her target will gradually lose their fortune until it is completely depleted, leaving no chance for recovery."
I replayed the system's words in my mind. If it didn't concern me, the system wouldn't have called me in the middle of the night. So...
In the next moment, I quickly turned and sat up.
"System, you woke me up at midnight because this bought-off Strategist is Jiang Huanhuan, right?"
"You are so clever, Host! You got it right at once!"
Clearly, Jiang Huanhuan had already succeeded in her strategy. This meant that Yao Huai Jin would gradually lose his fortune until it was completely exhausted.
I smiled slightly. I wondered how badly Jiang Huanhuan could afflict Yao Huai Jin. Although it no longer concerned me, I still hoped for an exciting plot to watch.
After being discharged from the hospital, I quickly returned to work. After all, newcomers in the entertainment industry emerge like bamboo shoots after a rain, and the old faces no longer hold novelty; they can only work harder.
On the day of script selection, the system chose a New Generation Idol as the upcoming Second Male Lead for me. However, after watching his latest movie...
"Well... as a skilled actor, I don't quite agree with his performance. System, please choose another one."
"Hosts cannot select their own targets for strategies."
"When I completed my last task, I was supposed to receive a reward. At that time, I didn't know what to ask for, but now I do."
"I want to choose the male lead myself."
"...Alright."
