A City, Mu's International Tower.
Before stepping into the elevator, Lu Jinnian called her husband, who only came home once a month, but was hung up on again.
She bit her lip and strode coldly towards the CEO's office on the top floor.
"Miss Lu, I'm sorry, you can't go in," the secretary blocked her way, speaking politely but with a very cold attitude.
Lu Jinnian glared at her coldly. "Step aside!"
The beautiful female secretary glanced at Lu Jinnian indifferently and snorted, "Miss Lu, our CEO said that if he sees you again, he'll drive you out directly. If you don't leave, I'll call security right away."
Her husband, it seemed, really didn't want to see her!
Lu Jinnian felt a pang in her heart, but her expression remained calm. "This is my husband's company; who are you to drive me away? Step aside!"
She pushed the secretary aside and kicked open the tightly closed office door.
An intimate female voice immediately came from inside the room.
Her husband, who had been married for two years, was now half-lying on the boss's chair, with a scantily clad, charming woman straddling his lap intimately...
Lu Jinnian's eyes stung, and her fingertips tightened forcefully.
Disturbed from their sweet moment, Mu Zhiyan frowned in displeasure, his deep, dark eyes staring rudely at the woman at the door.
"Get out," he said, those three cold and heartless words leaving no room for courtesy.
Lu Jinnian took a deep breath, her expression calm and unruffled as she met Mu Zhiyan's sharp gaze and walked slowly towards him.
"My parents want us to go back together for a meal this weekend."
That was the reason she had to come and find him. He never answered his phone, and the home they had would never see him sober, let alone have him return voluntarily.
Their two-year marriage had been this distant and indifferent, devoid of any affection.
"I know, now get out," Mu Zhiyan said, not even looking at her again as he began to caress the soft body of the woman in his arms.
The woman yielded to him, giving soft, delicate moans as she embraced Mu Zhiyan's body.
The intimate scene pierced and pained Lu Jinnan.
Lu Jinnan clenched her fists tightly. She wanted to pull that woman away, grab a teacup from the table and throw it at them, and demand loudly why Mu Zhiyan was cheating on her and why he kept messing around with these women...
Her nails dug deep into her flesh, the pain pulling Lu Jinnan back to her senses.
But she couldn't do that. She was the young lady of the Lu family, not a shrew from the streets. She had her pride and dignity.
Moreover, her marriage to this man was an arranged union between families.
It was her parents who went to great lengths, even resorting to getting him drunk, to make her sleep with him, just so they could secure this profitable marriage alliance.
It was all about benefit, not love.
No matter how deeply she loved this man, he completely disdained her.
Even if she threw a tantrum and screamed, what difference would it make? It would only make this man despise her even more.
The more her heart ached, the calmer she became.
"Mu Zhiyan, you really have poor taste in women. This 'public vehicle' and you're not even disgusted." She curled her lips in a sneer.
The woman in Mu Zhiyan's embrace changed her expression, glaring fiercely at Lu Jinnan before putting on a hurt, pitiful look as she sobbed against the man's chest. "Zhiyan, I've been so pure and faithful to you. How can she call me dirty...?"
Mu Zhiyan embraced her, a tender expression on his face as he patted her back soothingly. His cold gaze fixed unapologetically on Lu Jinnan.
"To call someone dirty, you have no right. You're the filthiest trash of all."
Lu Jinnan's face paled, but the curve of her lips only deepened. "Then you, the one who married me, are also trash, aren't you, Mu Zhiyan!"
She turned and strode away as soon as she finished speaking.
She was afraid that if she stayed a second longer, she wouldn't be able to hold back her outburst.
As she left the office, she encountered that female secretary again, who sneered disdainfully at Lu Jinnan's disheveled appearance, mocking her.
Lu Jinnan kept her back straight and stepped into the elevator.
Only when the elevator doors closed did she dare to shed her stubborn facade and slowly crouched down.
So in his heart, she was just trash...
