Chapter 1: One Day After Divorce, Reward Mobile Food Truck

Suzhou City.

Inside the Ximu Cafe.

"Chen Yu, you finally decided to show up!"

A woman's irritated voice rose from the seat furthest in.

To the uninformed, it might seem like just another scumbag had abandoned someone.

But one glance at the pair made it clear that was impossible.

The woman, despite wearing sunglasses and a face mask, exuded a carefully curated fashion sense and an air of quality that made it clear she was no ordinary person.

The man sitting opposite her was dressed quite simply, but still neat and clean.

"Can't we wait until Tuan Tuan is older before getting a divorce?" Chen Yu frowned.

He had been stalling these past few days, not wanting his child to live in a single-parent family at such a young age.

Fang Yuan, however, didn't care about that, and as usual, she began accusing Chen Yu relentlessly.

"How much longer do you plan to drag me down? If I hadn't threatened you with Tuan Tuan's custody, would you have even showed up?"

"If it comes out now that I'm married, all my years of hard work will have been for nothing, do you understand?"

"And look at you, what have you become now? Do you realize how big the disparity between us is?"

Upon noticing that the only other table of customers and the waiter were looking over,

Fang Yuan toned it down a bit, adjusted her sunglasses, and spoke in a lower voice.

But her words were still filled with disdain and contempt.

"I want to divorce now!"

"Fine, let's get divorced..."

Chen Yu gave in, "I don't want anything else, just Tuan Tuan."

"All these years, the money I've earned..."

"Okay."

Fang Yuan was completely caught off guard by Chen Yu's terms and was momentarily stunned.

However, she quickly agreed to his condition.

Over the years, she had actually made quite a lot of money and was originally worried Chen Yu would take this opportunity to make exorbitant demands.

Just as she was about to recite the speech she had prepared, she heard such a response.

She had thought through all the possible demands Chen Yu might make, but this one she had never considered.

But after thinking for a moment, she concluded that Chen Yu was merely putting on a brave face.

How could he possibly support himself and Tuan Tuan given his current situation?

Was he going to return to dependence on his parents?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Fang Yuan's mind, and her expression instantly became guarded:

"You can have the child, but afterwards you can't reveal anything about us, or I will definitely fight to take the child back."

"Fang Yuan, I'm not you, I would never use my child for the rest of my life."

"Right, how could you possibly want Tuan Tuan now? You're even afraid of marriage affecting your career, let alone Tuan Tuan's existence," Chen Yu shook his head with a hint of sarcasm.

Fang Yuan, somewhat infuriated and feeling humiliated, struggled to find words to retort.

All she could do was angrily pull out the divorce agreement from her bag, wanting to sign it and leave as soon as possible.

"I have prepared the agreement, sign it."

Chen Yu took the agreement Fang Yuan had prepared and glanced over it.

Sure enough, the child was already meant to be his.

The second Chen Yu finished signing, Fang Yuan snatched up the divorce agreement without a word and stormed off.

Chen Yu looked out the window, lost in thought.

6 years ago, Chen Yu and Fang Yuan met at a concert and started dating not long after.

Following that, it was only natural that they got married and had a lovely daughter.

Their life was uneventful but warm.

But shortly after Tuan Tuan was born, everything changed.

Fang Yuan, by chance, participated in a variety show and unexpectedly became popular, began to be heavily promoted by entertainment companies, and stepped into the entertainment circle.

In just three years, Fang Yuan had become a hot new star of the new generation.

It was also during these three years that Fang Yuan neglected her child.

Once, the child had a fever and was crying, but Fang Yuan didn't pay attention, being busy soliciting votes online.

Fortunately, Chen Yu discovered it in time and took him to the hospital.

Afterward, Fang Yuan felt no guilt whatsoever, instead, she criticized Chen Yu.

Later, she directly left Tuan Tuan with Chen Yu, dedicating herself entirely to her path to stardom.

At that time, Chen Yu had struggled in this city for six years, finally getting an opportunity for a promotion.

Chen Yu had no choice but to give it up, he even quit his job and found another one that was nine to five, involved less responsibility, and was closer to home.

All to have more time to take proper care of the child.

At first, Fang Yuan would occasionally come to see the child, later, she only returned during the New Year to meet the child, but even then, she would leave right after seeing him.

As for Chen Yu, after Fang Yuan entered the entertainment industry and saw all kinds of high society circles, she increasingly looked down upon him.

What she once considered handsome enough to 'eat with,' she now couldn't be bothered to give a second glance.

Chen Yu could barely make ends meet living in Suzhou City while working as a junior white-collar worker.

The people in the circle could easily spend more on a single meal than several months of his salary.

Not to mention the job he now had that paid a monthly salary of three thousand.

Even her assistants were better off than him.

He simply wasn't a match for her anymore.

Especially a few days ago, when Fang Yuan attended a dinner hosted by a financier, he joked about her marital status, prompting her to realize she couldn't drag it out any longer.

This year, the entertainment industry was fraught with troubles, constantly challenging the public's perception, and tolerance for celebrities was getting lower and lower.

If her married status were to be exposed, given that she debuted with a single and pure girl image, her career would be over.

She would not only miss the critical moment to step into the ranks of second-tier stars but would also become a collapsed artist.

That's why Fang Yuan was in such a hurry to sever ties with Chen Yu, and even with Tuan Tuan.

Buzz! Buzz!

At that moment, the mobile phone on the table vibrated.

Chen Yu's thoughts were abruptly brought back to the present.

"Proceedings at the civil affairs office at 8 am tomorrow."

........

The next day.

After confirming with both, the staff at the civil affairs office stamped their divorce certificate.

Officially ending their six-year marriage.

Fang Yuan, having obtained the divorce certificate, ignored Chen Yu in front of her, walked past him as if he was air, and directly got into the nanny car that was already waiting at the door.

She didn't even want to delay herself by saying a few harsh words.

Because in her eyes, Chen Yu was like mud that wouldn't stick up, and spending more words on him was a waste of time.

Seeing Chen Yu standing dazed at the door, Fang Yuan felt relieved, and the worries in her heart gradually dissipated.

After all, if she didn't divorce soon, her married status would sooner or later be unearthed, and then she would lose all her fame and fortune.

And to Fang Yuan, Chen Yu looked "soulless and lost."

At the moment he received the divorce certificate.

He was stunned by a pop-up that suddenly appeared in his mind.
