Chapter 1441: Impossible to Even Survive That Long
After a few days of hard work, Cai Anqi felt like she was dying. She would go shopping with the old woman in the morning, prepare lunch in the afternoon, and start cleaning the house after dinner.
She felt like her face was darker, her skin was coarser, and her hands were rougher than before. Looking in the mirror, Cai Anqi seemed as if she had aged many years.
What she couldn’t stand the most was Wang Bo’s indifference toward her. Just like a stranger, his tone was plain and simple.
Cai Anqi would rather Wang Bo get angry with her and say harsh words to her than ignore her as he was doing now.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Cai Anqi felt that she had been ruined by the old woman.
It couldn’t go on like this.
She didn’t want to get a divorce because she believed Wang Bo still liked her and couldn’t bear to leave her. She thought that after a while, once his anger calmed down, things would blow over.
But now, she was not so sure.
Was she going to stay here and continue to be tormented by the old woman?
She couldn’t stop thinking about this.
Especially when the old woman destroyed her shoes. Just because she resisted for a bit and refused to follow her orders, the old woman threw a pair of broken shoes in front of her.
Her shoes, aah! Cai Anqi felt suffocated. Her heart ached so much that she couldn’t breathe.
Why couldn’t this old woman just die?
The purpose of this marriage was to provide for her when she was old, but now, it was impossible to even survive that long. The old woman would definitely torture her to death before then.
After ruminating all night, she finally made up her mind to file for divorce.
The next morning, at the dinner table, she said, “I agree to divorce.”
Wang Bo turned to look at Cai Anqi and asked suspiciously, “Do you really agree?”
“I do.” Cai Anqi looked at Ning Shu. “My request is that you return my things to me and give me another 200,000 yuan as alimony.”
Ning Shu didn’t speak, just focusing on eating steamed buns.
Wang Bo listened to Cai Anqi, but he also didn’t say a word. After drinking the porridge in the bowl, he went to work.
Cai Anqi said impatiently, “What do you two mean by this? It was you who asked for divorce first. Now that I agree, why are you silent?”
“Why should we give you alimony?” Ning Shu said faintly. “Have you had a child? Has the child ever been with you? Yet you’re demanding alimony?”
“I still need some way to survive in the future,” said Cai Anqi
Two hundred thousand wasn’t even that large an amount. With her body in such a state, she didn’t know how to survive in the future. This sum was nowhere near enough for the rest of her life.
What did 200,000 count for?
“We have no responsibility for your future life,” said Ning Shu expressionlessly. “Of course, you don’t have to divorce. Wang Bo will be responsible for you, and you will have no worries for the rest of your life.”
Cai Anqi: …
Cai Anqi’s face was green. She already couldn’t take it anymore, yet this old woman was still talking about a lifetime. She’d have to suffer from this old hag’s torture for all her life?
She didn’t want to work as a slave in this family. The old woman was honest on the surface, but she knew very well how to torment others. On top of that, she pretended to love her daughter-in-law in front of outsiders.
200,000 and her designer collection, she wouldn’t accept anything less.
Ning Shu said, “Wash the bowls and go shopping with me.”
Cai Anqi’s eyes rolled around, and she said weakly, “I’m not feeling well. I want to rest today.”
Ning Shu glanced at her before nodding and agreeing.
When Cai Anqi returned to the bedroom, she called her family. She told them that she had been bullied and was being driven out of the house and such…
