"If you dare to slander others, don't blame us for being rude."
Chu Qi sneered, "Jiang Wei, do you really think you can seek forgiveness for the dirty deeds you've done?"
"You're dreaming."
I sighed, "Chu Qi, did you ever truly love me?"
"Or were you only ever interested in Lu Mingyuan?"
At this, Chu Qi froze.
But she quickly regained her composure. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Mingyuan is my best friend; our relationship is purely platonic. Don't try to sow discord."
I smiled.
To defend Lu Mingyuan, she was willing to say such things.
"Is that so? Purely platonic?"
"Then how do you explain the tens of thousands in funds you've transferred to him?"
"How do you explain buying him a car, a house, and luxury goods?"
Chu Qi's gaze faltered for a moment, but she still insisted, "That's our joint property; I can't just give it up."
"Fine then, go ahead and marry him."
"Chu Qi, don't you find this disgusting?"
Chu Qi's face flushed bright red.
She looked at Lu Mingyuan, whose expression was also somewhat awkward.
"Jiang Wei, don't go too far."
"There’s nothing between Mingyuan and me that would betray you."
"You shameless!"
Chu Qi was furious, calling me shameless.
"Jiang Wei, Mingyuan is sick."
"He can't handle any stress."
"If you still care about our past, I beg you, stop targeting him."
My mother could hardly bear to listen.
She stood up, wanting to speak on my behalf.
But she was stopped by Chu Qi.
"Mom, I know you're a good person."
"Enough!" Chu's Father interrupted her.
"Since you both agree to the divorce, then go ahead."
Although Chu's Father was still somewhat dissatisfied, we managed to get divorced smoothly.
The moment I received the divorce certificate, I felt as if I had been reborn.
But unexpectedly, Chu Qi soon married Lu Mingyuan.
Their wedding was extravagant, and they even posted their wedding photos on social media.
Everyone was stunned.
People began asking Chu Qi why she divorced me.
Chu Qi cried.
She posted a line on social media: "When a man cheats, there are only zero times and countless times."
Accompanying it was a misaligned photo of me and my savior.
She fabricated a story.
She claimed that when I was trapped, it was my colleague who saved me.
Yet I repaid kindness with betrayal and wanted to abandon her.
She had no choice but to divorce me.
I took a deep breath and filed a lawsuit against her.
She demanded that she delete the false information immediately. However, Chu Qi continued to weave her stories in the group chat. It wasn't until I released the footage from my home surveillance that the truth came to light. The recordings showed that during the time I was trapped, Chu Qi had been by Lu Mingyuan's side. They kissed, embraced, and even shared more intimate moments.
Chu Qi fell silent. She exited the group chat. The class monitor called me, urging me to at least give Chu Qi some face. I said nothing and blocked all of Chu Qi's contact information. From now on, bridges would be bridges, and roads would be roads. There would be no more entanglements.
I sat in the living room, consumed by pain. No matter how many times I was reborn, I could never forget the great fire of my past life. I lit a cigarette, trying to calm my emotions. Yet, memories of my time with Chu Qi flooded my mind again and again. Yes, we had once loved each other so deeply. I held her in my palms, unwilling to let her suffer even a little.
But in the end? I was left with scars all over and a heart turned cold. Perhaps only by leaving Chu Qi could I find peace.
After our divorce, Chu Qi seemed to be living a sweet life. She went to bars every day with Lu Mingyuan to drink.
Finally, after a night of heavy drinking, she made a significant mistake during the surgery.
