After the divorce, my ex-wife's sister collapsed.

Chapter 3: Wife? Not for much longer.

"When? I don't remember meeting with President An at all." Li Ziheng became even more puzzled. An Ya chuckled lightly and raised her hand to tuck the hair at her temple behind her ear. "Master Ziheng, please stop calling me President An. I am your subordinate. You can call me An Ya or just Xiaoya!" "As for when we met, there were too many times, I can hardly remember them all. However, every time I saw Master Ziheng, the young mistress was present." "The most memorable time was when the young mistress drank too much at a party and someone took advantage of her, and Master Ziheng beat up that real estate boss!" An Ya's words plunged Li Ziheng into memories. It was last summer. Jiang Wan attended a party to gain more contacts and channels, and because of her outstanding appearance and figure, she was plied with drinks by a group of bosses for various reasons. Jiang Wan couldn't hold her drink well and got drunk after a few glasses of red wine. Seeing that things were going south, the secretary called Li Ziheng. At that time, Li Ziheng was still running a high fever. The reason for the fever was that Jiang Wan said she wanted to eat barbecue from a night market by the river. Li Ziheng didn't hesitate to go out, but on his way back, a sudden downpour started, and when he got home, he was completely soaked. As a result, he developed a high fever the next day.

But even so, after receiving the call from his secretary, he still forced himself to rush to the party. When he arrived, Jiang Wan was already drunk, leaning on the sofa in the lounge area, unconscious from the alcohol. A sleazy boss quietly approached, hoping to take advantage of Jiang Wan, but was stopped by Li Ziheng, who punched the man. However, the result was that the other party called security guards, who beat Li Ziheng severely, leaving him bloody and bruised. That day at the party, Li Ziheng still gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and left with Jiang Wan amidst the pointing and gossiping of countless people around him. Afterwards, when Jiang Wan sobered up and learned what Li Ziheng had done, she didn't thank him at all, but instead scolded him harshly. In her words, Li Ziheng had made her lose face in the circle. Looking back now, it seems that the party was hosted by Yunhai International Trade. An Ya paused, then said, 'At that time, I did not know your identity, sir, but out of curiosity, I had someone investigate you. To be honest, I envy the young mistress!' 'If only there could be a man in this world who would treat me as you treat the young mistress, how wonderful that would be!' Saying this, a bitter smile flashed across An Ya's lips.

She had never believed in the existence of a perfectly good man in this world, but after investigating Li Ziheng, she believed, yet she also felt somewhat sad. The reason for her sadness was that this good man was someone else's husband, not her own. Adjusting her emotions, An Ya smiled and continued, "At first, I thought the headquarters asked me to look after the young mistress's company because she had a special relationship with them, but unexpectedly, it was because of you, young master." She didn't continue with the rest of the words, because after investigating, she became curious and started to pay attention to Li Ziheng. She knew about everything from Li Ziheng and Jiang Wan's romance to their marriage over the past five years. Li Ziheng was not a local, but he had a savings of three million. When he was dating Jiang Wan, Jiang's family's working capital happened to encounter problems, urgently needing three million for turnover. For the three million in Li Ziheng's bank account, Jiang's family decisively accepted Li Ziheng. Later, after some time, Li Ziheng spent all he had, using three million as dowry to marry Jiang Wan. However, this news was deliberately suppressed by Jiang's family. At that time, Jiang's family's company was only worth a little over ten million in market value, which, to An Ya, was just an insignificant small company.

But with the three million dowry given by Li Ziheng, the Jiang family successfully overcame the crisis and even grew significantly because of it. Right after Li Ziheng married Jiang Wan, Anya received a message from the headquarters, asking her to secretly support the Jiang family's company, all the way up to now. The current Jiang Enterprises, thanks to Yunhai's secret assistance, has seen its market value soar a hundredfold, reaching one billion. "Wife, huh?" Li Ziheng gave a self-mocking smile and said softly, "Soon to no longer be!" Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Anya's beautiful eyes, and she tentatively asked, "Is Young Master Ziheng having a disagreement with the young madam?" "It's not exactly a disagreement! It's just that I've accommodated too much, and I'm a bit tired, no longer wanting to continue accommodating." Li Ziheng smiled, but there was an undeniable trace of bitterness in his smile. Hearing this, Anya sighed softly and sincerely said, "Young Master is a good man; it's the young madam who is too willful and doesn't know how to cherish! In the future, she will definitely regret it! Definitely!" "There's no need to comfort me, I'm fine! By the way, can you help me draft a divorce agreement?" "Of course it's convenient, I just don't know what the young master's demands are." The car entered an intersection and because it was a red light, Anya stopped the car. Li Ziheng thought for a moment: "No other demands, as long as I can get a divorce!"

Li Ziheng didn't care about Jiang Wan's assets. Because long before he married Jiang Wan, his in-laws, citing the need for him to give their daughter a sense of security, transferred all of Jiang Wan's assets to their name under reasonable pretexts. In their words, as long as this was done, even if he, Li Ziheng, were to change his heart and divorce in the future, their daughter would not be left without security or a way out for the rest of her life. Li Ziheng gladly accepted the in-laws' proposal because he had never thought he would change his heart, let alone divorce Jiang Wan. However, fantasies are beautiful, but reality is cruel. He didn't want to continue anymore. He wanted to divorce Jiang Wan and end this unhappy marriage. "That's simple, I can draft it today!" An Ya nodded. The car fell silent. When the light turned green, An Ya stepped on the gas and suddenly asked softly, "Young Master Ziheng, perhaps you don't know, but Jiang Enterprises has never been the most suitable partner for our company. The reason I cooperated with Jiang Enterprises was all because of the higher-ups' wishes." "If you really divorce Madam, can the cooperation be terminated? After all, cooperating with Jiang Enterprises, we are actually suffering losses in a roundabout way!"

"Also, the chief pharmaceutical research and development engineer at Jiang's company has an actual annual salary of 5.5 million, but Jiang's company only pays her a salary of 500,000 each year. The remaining 5 million is all paid out by our company." "If possible, I would like to have that R&D engineer return, after all, the value she can create is too great, our company needs her." Li Ziheng did not respond; he turned his head to look out the window. Perhaps it was because he had given up hope and planned to completely end this painful marriage, gradually relaxing. Or perhaps it was because he had stayed up all night last night. Li Ziheng fell asleep before he knew it. He slept very soundly and had no dreams. In this month, he almost dreamed every night, and Jiang Wan was in every dream. Each dream was oppressive, painful, suffocating. But today, when he decided to leave Jiang Wan, the nightmares... seemed to disappear with it. When he woke up, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. Li Ziheng opened his eyes and found himself still in the passenger seat of the Ferrari, but the passenger seat had been reclined. He was draped in a black blazer, and the temperature inside the car was just right, neither cold nor hot, very comfortable.

Turning his head, he saw Anna holding a laptop, gently tapping on the keyboard, seemingly engrossed in work. Li Ziheng adjusted his seat. Hearing the movement, Anna turned her head to look over. Her eyes lit up as she turned the laptop screen towards Li Ziheng: 'Young Master Ziheng, you're awake. This is the divorce agreement I've drafted. Please take a look and let me know if there's anything that needs to be changed?' Li Ziheng glanced over it briefly, just about to speak, when suddenly he noticed the phone screen on the armrest box to the left of his seat light up. That phone seemed to be his own. But Li Ziheng remembered very clearly that he had not set it to silent mode. The phone screen was flashing with a call reminder labeled as 'wife'. Anna had also noticed it, and she considerately got out of the car. Li Ziheng picked up the phone and pressed the answer button. 'Li Ziheng, what you did this morning was too much. If you want me to forgive you, then you better come to the company right now and sincerely apologize to Cheng Hao!' Jiang Wan's voice, filled with complaint and blame, came through the phone. Li Ziheng had been feeling much better, but upon hearing Jiang Wan's words, his heart ached once again. At this moment, the suppressed emotions erupted completely, and Li Ziheng laughed angrily: 'Apologize? Are you sure you want me to apologize?'

"Of course! You did something wrong and wrongly accused Cheng Hao, don't you think you should apologize?" Jiang Wan spoke righteously. Seemingly noticing that Li Ziheng's tone was a bit off, her voice suddenly became much softer, as if coaxing a child, or as if coquettishly speaking again. "Honey, can you be good? As long as you apologize, whatever you say, I'll agree to it!" In the past, whenever Jiang Wan made a mistake and angered Li Ziheng, she would coquette like this. And every time, Li Ziheng would forgive her. Even if Jiang Wan had done something very excessive, he would still choose to forgive her because of his soft heart. Li Ziheng teased, "Really willing to do anything?" "Yes! Anything!" Jiang Wan answered very straightforwardly, even without hesitation. Li Ziheng asked somewhat desperately, "What if I ask you to fire Cheng Hao and never see him again?" "This is not okay, change it, I'll agree to anything else but this!" Jiang Wan's answer was still straightforward, still without hesitation. But because of her unequivocal response, the last glimmer of hope in Li Ziheng's heart was completely shattered. "Fine, remember what you said, anything else... you agree to!" Li Ziheng hung up the phone. He didn't want to hear Jiang Wan's voice anymore.

Anya opened the car door and got in. Just now, outside the car, although she couldn't hear what Li Ziheng and Jiang Wan were talking about, she could tell from Li Ziheng's complexion that he was in a very bad mood. As she was pondering how to comfort a poor man on the verge of divorce, she suddenly heard Li Ziheng say, 'First, print out the divorce agreement, and then take me to Jiang's Corporation.'
