My name is Xia Keai, 25-years-old this year.

I got married a year ago, my husband, Wen Shuyan, is a top executive at a listed company, with an annual salary of 400,000.

Because my mother-in-law isn't in good health, I became a housewife as soon as I graduated. My mother-in-law loves me dearly, often saying that she treats me like her own daughter.

On the weekend that day, my husband was working overtime, so I made a hearty bento box full of love and delivered it to him.

However, before I could reach the office door, I heard a woman's lascivious laughter coming from within...

“Brother Wen, is your wife really foolish or just pretending? Every time you say you're working overtime, she believes it...Hahaha!"

A lump rose in my throat, I stood there, dazedly clutching the bento box, feeling like my world was falling apart.

“I’m supporting her, so even if she catches me cheating, she wouldn’t dare to make a peep!” Wen Shuyan arrogantly boasted, as I pushed open the door.

The young woman sitting on his lap was startled, but she quickly recovered, extending her bare arm to tightly wrap around my husband's neck...

"Oops, Brother Wen, your wife is here!"

Wen Shuyan was somewhat flustered.

"Guo Xian, you should leave first!"

"What’s wrong, are you scared of your wife? You once said, you only treat her like a nanny...You said you would marry me!” This woman named Guo Xian is his assistant, and it looks like their office romance has been going on for more than a day or two.

"You have no shame, Wen Shuyan!" I was so angry that my face turned pale, my fist clenched ready to charge at him and beat him up.

Seeing that things have gotten out of hand, Wen Shuyan adopted an aloof attitude.

"Since you've seen it all, there's no point in hiding it from you anymore. Xia Ke'ai, have you worked a single day since you graduated from college? Do you have the ability to support yourself? It's always been me taking care of you. You wouldn't understand the pressures of life...."

Staring at him looking so superior, like a successful man looking down on others, I restrained my impulse and said, word by word, "Who asked me to stop working? Who asked me to stay home and take care of your mother? Wen Shuyan, how could you be so ungrateful?"

Seeing me bringing up past grievances, Wen Shuyan was instantly filled with indignant embarrassment!

"Just shut up, you damned scold! You married me just aiming for high branches! Look at what you are wearing, what you use at home, and your sister who always borrows money and your invalid father. Who has been supporting them? Haha, you quarrel with me? Fine. Then you can leave, and leave right now!"

After dating for three years and being married for one, it is at this moment I realize his face has become so unfamiliar.

"You just go on...you and I can start divorce proceedings when you have the time."

"Whatever you want! Damn it, I don't believe you can live well without me..." Enraged, Wen Shuyan swore, while Guo Xian immediately nestled up, soothing him sweetly: "Brother Wen, don't be angry with such a leech like her! Here, give me a kiss!"

I didn't want to see this disgusting duo anymore. Slamming the door to his office, I threw the takeaway food straight down from the fifth floor!

...

Leaving the Wen family, I had nowhere to go but back to my parental home.

My mother passed away early. My father is sickly, and my only little sister is always drinking and fighting, beyond everyone’s control…

"Sis. Why are you back? Did you have a quarrel with your husband?"

"Chunxi, did you borrow money from your brother-in-law again? Can't you have a little backbone?"

Looking at her messy, "parrot-like" hair, I was so angry I was on my nerve’s end...

"It's not your money he earned, it's my brother-in-law's! What are you getting so wound up about?" Xia Chunxi dissatisfiedly stared at me, yawned and was about to go back to sleep.

"Wait, don't tell Dad I'm back yet. Also, your brother-in-law and I are getting a divorce. If you need money in the future, just ask me..."

"A divorce?" Chunxi looked at me with shock on her face, then smiled smugly, "Even our family's most accomplished sister can be thrown out...oh dear. How pitiful, you don't even have a job, where will your money come from?"

Being looked down upon by my own family, I felt uncomfortable.

Thinking of the disappointment on my father's face when he woke up to see me, it made me want to bang my head against a wall.

"I'll find a job."

I have hands and feet; there's no way I'll starve to death!

"Sister, are you really looking for a job? Then let me introduce you to one...Let's go!"

Chunxi warmly linked arms with me and dragged me out of the house. In my confused state, I still felt that my younger sister was more reliable than others. But what I didn't expect was that Chunxi dragged me into a bar. After one fruit cocktail she gave me, I started to feel all sorts of wrong.

"What did you make me drink? I thought we were looking for a job?"

My head was throbbing, and the image of Chunxi in front of me seemed to multiply into more than a dozen figures.

"Sis, besides being prettier and having a larger bust size, what other talents do you have... I'm doing this for your own good, so at least I can get some money and go out for a while instead of asking you and your husband for it all the time!"

"How could you do this to me? I'm your own sister..."

I didn't even have the strength to talk, it felt like my feet were stepping on cotton.

Chunxi looked indifferent. I was so angry that I wanted to smash the wine glass against her head, but she firmly gripped my wrist.

"Wake up, sister. Since we were little, Dad always said you were better than me, right? Well, today let's show him what kind of deceiving actions caused his wonderful eldest daughter to be thrown out of her in-laws' house..."

After saying this, Chunxi flagged down the bartender with a determined wave of her hand.

"This is my sister. She wants to make some quick money. Do you have any top-notch clients to introduce her to? She's quite attractive and hasn't had a child yet..."
