Smelling a bad odor in the air, Zhang Yu immediately frowned, knowing without opening her eyes that the original owner must have been drowning her sorrows in alcohol.

A university student for heaven’s sake, doesn’t she know that drinking to forget only makes it worse?

She quickly opened her eyes, hurried to the window, and opened it. With the fresh air coming in, the smell improved a lot.

"How much did she drink?" Zhang Yu didn’t expect that just walking from the dining table to the window would make her feel dizzy, like she was stepping on clouds.

Looking at the wine bottles on the table, my goodness, what a surprise, she had actually drunk three bottles of red wine.

Tsk tsk tsk, was this client a wine hero? In her memory, there was no client with such a high tolerance for alcohol.

But no matter how good the tolerance, she was still dizzy. The client just left her here pitifully after drinking.

Since she was dizzy and the dining table was a mess, she decided to ignore it and return to the room to rest, sort out her thoughts, and figure out the current situation.

Supporting herself against the wall, she slowly returned to her room, laid down, and closed her eyes to explore the original owner’s memory, only to be shocked by what she found.

She already knew the man was kind of a scumbag but didn’t expect him to be so vile. She originally thought he’d cheat only after meeting someone stronger, but who’d have known the person who rose through the woman’s family resources had already cheated numerous times.

The excuse being that she was too strong and not gentle enough. Geez, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but despise the scumbag Lin Yu.

No matter when, regardless of whether they live off others, scumbags always have a common trait: it’s never their fault, it’s always the woman’s problem, the woman is in the wrong.

What made Zhang Yu even angrier was that the woman stepped back to a secondary job for this reason. God, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

In the financial industry, even fools know you either climb up or stay on the frontline, or else you’ll be marginalized sooner or later.

Clearly, the family had some resources. It wasn’t to guarantee the original owner would stand out in the circle, but at least it could ensure a place for her.

Yet she retreated to a secondary role, even offering family resources to the scumbag, "A total sucker."

Even Lin Yu’s plans and operations were all devised by the original owner behind the scenes, resulting in him steadily rising in the financial world. In many people’s eyes, the client who didn’t belong in their circle was just a woman who married Lin Yu for his family connections, unworthy of him.

Did the client know about these discussions? Zhang Yu thought she must have known; otherwise, she wouldn’t have often been troubled by them.

If Lin Yu had any conscience, the client’s sacrifices wouldn’t have been in vain, but unfortunately, Lin Yu wasn’t a man of conscience. Not only did he succeed by stepping on the client, but he also, being the guilty party, insisted that she leave with nothing. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

When the client disagreed, he destroyed her entire family, truly a despicable person.

Before falling asleep, she set an alarm on her phone. In her current state, she really wasn’t fit to work and would rather take a leave, planning to discuss some matters with her parents.

Despite her headache, Zhang Yu called her boss to ask for sick leave. Her throat was sore, and her voice hoarse, so leave was quickly granted. Of course, before hanging up the call, the boss didn’t forget to PUA her, mentioning her poor performance.

The client usually just smiled bitterly at these remarks. Now in her shoes, Zhang Yu skipped them, having decided to pursue divorce and resignation as priorities.

Indeed, since she would divorce the scumbag sooner or later, she might as well seize the opportunity to do it now. Although Lin Yu had made a name for himself in the financial circle, he still required the Zhang Family’s support.

If she remembered correctly, Lin Yu was just about to squeeze the last bit of support from the Zhang Family, which was crucial for him to reach new heights and gain the Han family’s approval behind his confidante, Han Xue.

Regarding the Han family, Zhang Yu knew Lin Yu would eventually gain their approval because despite Han Xue’s impressive resume, she was an airhead, with papers and such ghostwritten by others.

Even though Lin Yu was married, he maintained a stellar image and outstanding professional capabilities over the years. Once he set a goal, his performance was top-notch. The Han Family would undoubtedly concede.

For Lin Yu to rise, he should use Han Family’s resources, not the Zhang Family’s.

After tidying up a little, Zhang Yu didn’t drive but took a taxi to her parents’ house.

Zhang Qiang and Han Yu looked a bit surprised to see Zhang Yu, "Little Yu, what happened?" Seeing their daughter’s not-so-great state, Zhang Qiang had a bad feeling.

"Lin Yu has someone outside, this time he’s hooked up with Han Family’s Han Xue." She got straight to the point. Initially, Lin Yu restrained himself and didn’t let Zhang Yu know what was happening outside.

As his status rose, his actions gradually went unchecked. Even though Zhang Qiang and his wife were retired, they still heard a thing or two.

What could they do? The daughter chose him, and there was a grandson; divorcing him wasn’t an option.

All they could do was advise Zhang Yu to think more for herself, but unfortunately, she was dead set, and they couldn’t help it.

Hearing Zhang Yu bring it up herself now, Zhang Qiang and Han Yu exchanged glances, looking delighted, "What about you?"

After hearing their words, Zhang Yu knew they were aware, "I’m planning to divorce him."

"Before, the women he had outside were all trying to gain favor from him, to get resources out of him, but the Han family is different."

"The people connections our family has in the financial world come from your old classmates and colleagues, but how many times can they help?"

"The Han family is different. Their connections in the financial realm are beyond comparison."

"I don’t believe Han Xue would give up her status, even if she could be considered a discard for the Han family; she’s still part of the Han family."

"Lin Yu has performed well, and the Han Family would gladly expend a discard like Han Xue to gain a capable assistant like him. Why wouldn’t they be willing?"

Zhang Yu laid out a lot of groundwork, "Mom, I want to divorce him." She directly stated her purpose.

Here it came. Long before Zhang Yu uttered so much, Zhang Qiang and Han Yu already knew Zhang Yu had decided. Over these years, she changed greatly for Lin Yu, but once she cleared her mind, she was herself again.

"You don’t just want a divorce, do you?" Zhang Qiang wanted to know Zhang Yu’s plan.

"Make Lin Yu leave with nothing, and don’t support his promotion. It’s unnecessary to owe favors for his sake." Zhang Yu knew that the position Lin Yu was eyeing had many contenders, including several whose abilities were on par with, if not better than, Lin Yu’s but had stronger family backgrounds.

Lin Yu had mentioned it early to Zhang Yu, and the client had already pleaded with her father. Zhang Qiang and his wife really didn’t want to help, knowing favors became scarce over time. They were retired and couldn’t lend much aid.

But resisting the client’s relentless pleas, they had no choice but to swallow their pride and ask for help.

They still remembered the expression of their old friend when approached for assistance, luckily the friend agreed to help.
