"Sign this agreement, I will not pursue your legal responsibilities, and will compensate you with two hundred million. The entertainment company you signed with will be directly transferred to you. Also, I'll give you two sets of houses in the city center," he spoke.
Nan Chu held onto the agreement, her eyes bulging in shock, and inwardly screaming: Boss Pei, you truly are a good person!
Oh, two hundred million, she could spend until her next life, couldn't she?
Her eyes shone brightly, and she had to think through the most miserable moments of her life to prevent herself from bursting into laughter.
Stay low-key! You are a chosen cross-world traveller!
Nan Chu was originally an ordinary worker. One day, being up late for overtime, she luckishly had her soul hooked up by a messenger from the underworld.
As she was an orphan, her body was quickly processed, she didn't even have a chance for reincarnation. The underworld messenger compensated her by letting her traverse into a rich neighborhood.
She inherited the memory and identity of the original owner of the body, living carefreely with wealth and leisure, which she quickly adapted to.
The original owner was a lady from a rich family, knowing nothing but beauty, whose parents died early and left her to the Pei Family.
The Pei and Nan families have a long friendship. Elder members of the Pei family had watched Nan Chu grow up, how could they bear to see her being bullied by outsiders?
Soon, the Pei family adopted Nan Chu and raised her as their own daughter.
The original owner experienced a series of family changes, and she was sensitive and suspicious, with a strong inferiority complex, which led to a distant relationship with the Pei family members.
Unexpectedly, the original owner quietly fell in love with Pei An. Afraid of not being able to stay in the Pei family after reaching adulthood, she plotted to sleep with Pei An.
That night, she drugged Pei An and was found by members of the Pei family the next day.
Pei An absolutely despised the feeling of being manipulated. He refused to see the original owner, who made a fuss by crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang herself, which created a turmoil in the house.
Unable to resist the pressure from her parents，Pei An and the original female lead got married.
Sadly, their relationship didn't improve after getting the certificate. On the contrary, it got worse. Pei An spent all his time in the office and wouldn't even spare her a glance when he came home.
In her despair, the original female lead abandoned herself to despair, and after a heart palpitation, died suddenly at home.
After transmigrating, Nan Chu didn't want to become an aggrieved woman hated by others at such a young age. She wanted to divorce quickly, garner some money, and live a carefree life.
After all, she had never been in a relationship in both her lives. She needed to properly compensate herself.
Pei An might be handsome and rich, but every time he saw her, he would start to mock her. What was up with that? She was not a masochist!
But the underworld messenger was blunt: unless Pei An initiated the divorce, she couldn't divorce him. Nan Chu, as the stand-in, had no right to initiate the divorce for the original female lead.
The original female lead's character setting was deeply in love with Pei An, so she would never agree to a divorce, even in death.
Nan Chu was extremely upset, cursing the underworld messenger for being inhuman.
To compensate her, the underworld messenger gave her a system: the Gossip System.
The Gossip System knew everything and could be called the ultimate secret buster. It could dig out secrets from someone's past, which was a boon for an avid gossip lover like Nan Chu.
After giving it some thought, a rich husband who didn't like to come home, plus a loving mother-in-law, she could easily live a good life as long as she didn't cause any trouble.
She was ready for the luxurious life of a rich wife!
Maybe the heavens were looking out for her. Before Nan Chu could give up on her principles, a divorce gift package was delivered.
One morning, just after Nan Chu woke up, she was taken to the CEO's office by Pei An's secretary. Immediately following, a divorce agreement was handed to her.
Nan Chu was excited and started to count the zeros behind the "2" on her check. Despite living two lifetimes, she had never seen this much money before.
Pei An, who was sitting across from her, saw her lowering her head, biting her lower lip, and the way she shivered with her body. His brows furrowed even deeper.
He knew that Nan Chu loved him beyond measure. She would not hesitate to marry him to the extent of getting him drunk, offering herself, and pressuring by threatening her life just to get what she wanted.
If Nan Chu were living a peaceful life, Pei An might not have an issue with her.
But rather, she was always courting disaster. Constantly tracking after him and stirring up trouble from nothing, it seemed as though she only felt her existence was acknowledged this way.
This time around, Nan Chu pulled off a big stunt. She stole the company secrets and sold them to a rival firm, causing the company to lose a big project, employee bonuses were cut off, and everyone sighed in exasperation.
In order to give an explanation to the board, Pei An decided to divorce her.
"Our fate ends here, our values don't align, I hope you will sign this without hesitation," says Pei An.
Pei An, out of respect for her deceased parents, left her with such a humongous amount of money. He saw the tears in Nan Chu's eyes and thought she would make a scene, but to his surprise, she took the pen and signed her name without hesitation.
He let out a sigh of relief, Nan Chu's cooperative signing saved him a lot of trouble.
"Hesitating one more minute is disrespect to two billion. Ex-husband, transfer my money quickly, I want to take the money and have fun!"
Pei An wondered if something was wrong with his ears, how did he suddenly hear Nan Chu's voice?
He looked at Nan Chu with confusion, seeing her seriously holding the divorce agreement, showing an ugly expression as she signed, and wondered if she was angry or happy?
Nan Chu's mouth hadn't moved, so how did he hear her speak?
"To have two billion all at once, is this a dream? How many houses and cars can you buy with two billion? Pei An is the most lavish ex-husband I have ever seen!"
"The failure of this marriage is my fault. I'm self-reflecting now! In the future, I won't accept anyone speaking ill of my brother Pei."
Pei An's expressions ranged from shock to disbelief. He was stupefied, wondering what had happened.
Did he not sleep well last night, causing him to hallucinate?
Pei An glanced at Secretary Duan beside him, wondering if he was the only one hearing these voices or others could hear it too.
Secretary Duan's real name is Duan Rui, who can be considered as Pei An's right-hand woman.
At this moment, she was staring intently at the divorce agreement, her face was full of pity. Apparently, she had not expected that Nan Chu's marriage would end in divorce.
"Miss Nan, you need to be rational to a certain extent. Mr. Pei has been cleaning up your messes time after time. It's quite pitiful. After receiving the money, you should start a new life. There won't be anyone to take the fall for you in the future..."
On the surface, Secretary Duan seems to be advising Nan Chu earnestly, but to be true, she couldn't wait for this foolish Nan Chu to act recklessly, preferably ripping up the check worth two billion and leaving with nothing.
In Secretary Duan's eyes, Nan Chu was not worthy of a man as good as Pei An, not even fit to tie his shoes!
Nan Chu gave Secretary Duan a cold glance, without crying or making a fuss, she carefully put the check in her bag, ensuring not to have any creases on it.
"Even though I've been blamed unfairly, it is still two billion! I guess it's bearable. With a house in the city center, a film and television company, and a check of two billion, such a generous compensation, I can let the main culprit off this time."
Pei An's hand paused while receiving the divorce agreement, absolutely shocked.
What main culprit?
The one who sold the company's secrets, wasn't it her?
Did he also plant a spy from the opponent's company by his side?
