My 18-Year-Old Wife

At the entrance of civil affairs bureau, Mike Yue and Helen Liu had finished their divorce.

From that moment on, they’re are no longer a couple, and more of enemies than even just strangers.

Eyes turned red, Helen’s voice sounded grim as she stared at Mike, who she had never even slept with, spitefully:”Didn’t know you have such audacity to really get a divorce. Well, I would like to see how things would go for you after you leave our family. You were just a parasite for these two years, living in our home doing nothing. You would’ve starve to death on the street if it weren’t for us!”

She continued:”You’re a man! What’s the point of you doing the laundry and cleaning in our home like a dog? Such a disgrace to me! This is the end, we’ll be on our way, and it’s just better for me to live without you!”

Mike drowned into the ocean of disappointment as he looked at Helen, the one he used to love wholeheartedly even though he had never even laid his hand on her. It was the last straw on his back that Helen didn’t even show slightest guilt of what happened last night.

“I’ve figured it out. You Liu’s people are all the same, Helen, regarding what other people do for you as nothing while trying your best hurting them. You people wouldn’t end up like this if grandma, may her rest in peace, didn’t pass away so soon. Such a shame on Peter that he cultured you like this. You people should thank grandma that your family is still in upper class of Haidong City, for she was the only reason that I keep you people alive!”

Mike held his anger back and continued:”No one in this world owe you Liu’s people anything, and I, Mike Yue, don’t owe you anything as well!”

Liu’s families nearly ended up begging on the street in if weren’t for Mike helping them behind the curtains during the six months after Liu’s grandma passed away.

He never mentioned it to Helen, for he had promised grandma to do so. He never asked for credit, and there was no need to.

He had done everything he could to help them.

But Helen sneered hearing what he said:”Keep us alive? What, are you still drowsy for getting up to early?”

Then she took some cash out of her pocket and threw them onto Mike’s face, like the old days.

First time in his life, Mike, a man who had never money as a serious matter, was treated like that.

Helen shattered all the fantasy and dreams he had in all those years. Mike was shocked at first, then he burst into hysterical laughter, in which were his disappointment and grief.

But still, Helen found it hilarious and shaming.

Mike picked the money, put them in his pocket, turned to Helen and said, nearly sobbing:”I’ll keep them, as a warning. I traded all my love and passion, this money and all the disgrace, are what I get in return. Remember this, Helen: No one would ever love you like I do, no one would ever take care of you the way I did to you!”

He stopped for a while and bid his farewell:”I wish you all well.”

Then he turned around and walked away.

Looking at the back of Mike where loneliness abounded, Helen felt her heart twitched slightly, as if something in it was gone with Mike as well.


Meanwhile, in the headquarter of Hongsheng Group, the Liu’s company.

Peter called everyone to the meeting room, given it was a special day. Hongsheng Group and Fengxing Group were working on a major project, which Fengxing cover the whole budget and Hongsheng was basically running it for free.

If the project works out, Hongsheng would become the second most influential company in Chuzhou, right after Fengxing.

Peter’s voice was nearly trembling:”This is the day! We’re going to sing the contract of the project with Fengxing’s president Mark Duan, and we’ll see to it if we can be the most influential family in Chuzhou today!”

Everyone if Liu’s family was elated as well, they nearly stayed up all night because of excitement.

“I thought about it and decided to let Helene go sign the contract with Mark.”

Then he to turned Peter and said sternly:”But given the significance of it, Joe would go with Helene to make sure nothing goes wrong.”

Joe’s father, Chenfeng Liu, was Peter’s eldest son, his influence came the second place in Liu’s family. Chenfeng and his families were well respected by others in the Liu’s.

Peter’s mind was clear to Chenfeng: He wanted Joe to get in touch with Mark. Joe was quite competent and he’s also adept in socializing, Peter wanted him to take over the task Helen was on so that they can further consolidate their cooperation with Fengxing’s group.

Helen was just a woman after all.

“Joe, Joe! Gratitude! Your grandpa is asking you to get in touch with Mark!”

Chenfeng hinted Joe furtively.

It enlightened Joe, after which he fell into great joy and nodded his head:”Yes, thank you, grandpa! Consider it done! I will definitely come back with that contract!”

Smilingly, Peter nodded. He had always trusted Chenfeng’s family, and they hardly failed to meet his requirement as well.

“Ben, where’s Helen? So she’s too competent to be here in such a minor meeting?”

Lisa said to Ben, Helen’s father, sarcastically.

Sitting at the last row of the meeting room, Ben replied with his head down embarrassedly,:”She went to divorce with that sucmbag Mike, she’ll be back soon. Don’t worry, she won’t be late on such an important day.”

His heart was filled with grievance. He was the youngest son of Liu’s family, and having only just a daughter further worsened his position in Liu’s family. Even Lisa was more respected than him.

“Anyway, Joe, go wait for Helen at the entrance, head to the Fengxing group and meet Mark as soon as she comes back.”Said Peter, ignoring Ben.
