Chapter 3: I Want a Divorce!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
While in university, Qin Nuan got some modeling for print ads, acted in some short films thanks to her above-average looks, and eventually entered the entertainment industry. After working hard in the industry for several years, she finally managed to make a name for herself. But because she had refused to accept certain unsaid rules in the industry and offended an investor, she fell right to the bottom again.
Not too long ago, she became part of a major TV drama production. The female lead was the most popular actress in Lin Yuanyuan, and she was Lin Yuanyuan's double. But because Lin Yuanyuan's temperament was too difficult and she kept throwing her weight about, the director became angry with her and ended up making her replace Lin Yuanyuan as the female lead in a fit of anger.
Lin Yuanyuan didn't dare to go against the director, so she vented her anger on Qin Nuan. Lin Yuanyuan was the one who hurt her arm on the set, but she claimed that Qin Nuan had purposely injured her to become the female lead.
Lin Yuanyuan was the most popular actress right now, so her fans were all riled up and ready for war when they found out about this.
The fans tracked her down, posted everything about her life and family online, and even mailed threats to her home.
For several days, she was too scared to even step out of the door. Eventually, she ran out of things to eat in her fridge and had no choice but to sneak out of the house in the middle of the night to buy some food from the supermarket.
Unfortunately, she was spotted by Lin Yuanyuan's fans. They surrounded her and threw stones at her. She couldn't dodge them and ran onto the road. The next thing she heard was the ear-piercing sound of a horn…
Qin Nuan shivered when she thought about what happened. She snapped out of her daze when she heard the maid call out, "Miss Qin, we're here."
Qin Nuan looked up to discover that she had already walked into the main bungalow's living room. A stern-looking older man was staring at her now.
Old Mr. Li was 80, but he was still extremely energetic, and his silvery hair was neatly combed. The glint in his eye revealed the same decisiveness and aggression in his actions when he was younger.
Qin Nuan glanced at the teacup that the maid held out to her but didn't take it.
She walked over to Old Mr. Li and said in a calm and neutral tone of voice, "Old Mr. Li, it is not appropriate for me to serve you this cup of tea."
"Oh? Xiaonuan, what do you mean by that? You are my granddaughter-in-law, so how is it inappropriate for you to serve me tea?" Old Mr. Li lifted his eyes to look at Qin Nuan, but his smile was not genuine.
"That's because I want to divorce Li Lingcheng."
After Qin Nuan finished this sentence, she heard the sound of leather shoes squeaking against the floor within the living room.
Qin Nuan turned to see a tall man walk in confidently. His fairly fitting black suit accentuated his perfect figure. His gaze was frosty, and his features were well-defined. His entire body was emanating an unfriendly aura that kept everyone at bay.
He was the perfect embodiment of a domineering CEO.
For that one moment, Qin Nuan's heart had skipped a beat because of how attracted she was to this man's handsomeness.
But Qin Nuan quickly remembered that this man was the one who would eventually abuse her and force her to donate her organs. She immediately took in a quick breath of cold air and moved at least half a meter away so that she would be further from Li Lingcheng.
When he sensed Qin Nuan's eyes' wariness, a puzzled gleam flashed in Li Lingcheng's eyes. Wasn't this Qin Nuan always so eager to stick to him like a plaster whenever she saw him?
Why did she seem like a completely different person now?
Besides, she looked beautiful today. He had never seen a woman look so pretty in a red dress before.
He was secretly blown away by her beauty, but he quickly ignored it and moved on. He had no interest in this Qin Nuan at all. He wasn't interested now and would never be interested.
"You want a divorce?"
Li Lingcheng looked at Qin Nuan. There was no emotion in his gaze that looked like it was about to freeze over.
"That's right! I want to divorce you!" Qin Nuan met Li Lingcheng's eyes and didn't look the least bit afraid.
Li Lingcheng looked into that beautiful pair of almond-shaped eyes and lost himself for a moment.
Bai Weiwei had just returned to the country, and he was still trying to think of a good way of getting rid of this super sticky plaster of a woman. But now, she was the one who was bringing this matter up first. That played right into his plans.
So Li Lingcheng curled his lips upwards. "Sure!"
But before Li Lingcheng could continue speaking, Old Mr. Li smashed the teacup in his hands onto the floor. The scalding hot tea splashed onto Li Lingcheng.
"Outrageous!"
