Chapter 437: Cold and Emotionless
"That’s why I said you were self-destructive. Han Bi left you, and you were so self-destructive that you got cancer," Wen Nuan said mercilessly. "Are you going to be self-destructive again this time?"
Ye Feimo suddenly gave a cold smile. The way he looked at her was so unfamiliar, as if he were looking at a stranger.
"Are you even worthy of that?" Ye Feimo’s coldness completely erupted at that moment. Wen Nuan had never seen such a cold expression on his face, not even when he was forcing her.
She knew bitterly that she had succeeded.
Ye Feimo would agree to the divorce.
He sneered and took a document from his briefcase. He threw it on Wen Nuan’s face with indifference. The papers scattered on the floor, but the black words on the white paper were clear to Wen Nuan: a divorce agreement. He had signed it.
"I’ll give you what you want!" Ye Feimo’s voice was even more emotionless. The ruthlessness in his eyes was covered by something that seemed gentle but was actually cold and hard. No one could break through it. "I must have been crazy back then to..."
He didn’t finish his sentence. He just turned and left.
Wen Nuan stared blankly as he walked away, tears in her eyes. His indifferent back gave her the answer she wanted. She knew that her heartlessness had finally made Feimo give up.
This was what she had hoped for, but why did she feel more despair than ever before in that moment?
Tears streamed down her face.
She had cried more tears these past few days than she had in the previous twenty years.
It was over!
She and Ye Feimo were finally over.
Three days later, Wen Nuan was discharged from the hospital.
As soon as she was discharged, Wen Nuan ended her contract with Anning without any problems. She followed the rules and paid the penalty.
The news of Wen Nuan ending her contract with Anning quickly spread throughout A City, causing a huge stir.
The second young mistress of the Ye family, the CEO’s wife of Anning, had ended her contract with Anning International Group. Anyone with eyes could see what this meant. As soon as she ended her contract, people started speculating about her and Ye Feimo’s marriage problems.
In addition to this, Huayun and Yaowei offered her a huge contract to sign with them. The top executives of the two groups even personally went to her home, hoping to get this cash cow. Wen Nuan’s rise to fame was very rare. In just one year, she had become Anning’s top actress and had won the Best Actress award. She also had a movie, *Liang Hongyu*, that was about to be released. Her momentum was unrivaled and very strong. Few A-list actresses in the country could compete with her in terms of popularity.
She was only twenty-one years old and had already achieved so much in her acting career. Her future potential was huge. Who wouldn’t want to sign Wen Nuan and make money for their company?
For a time, rumors of her divorce and her switching companies made headlines every day.
Ye Feimo didn’t respond to any of this.
Many people tried to talk Wen Nuan out of ending her contract with Anning. Cai Xiaojing and Lin Ning were the first to object. They desperately tried to persuade Wen Nuan not to leave. They told her that even if she and Ye Feimo were having problems, there was no need to leave Anning.
Lin Ning had high expectations for Wen Nuan and had put a lot of effort into making her a superstar. Losing Wen Nuan would definitely be a huge loss for Anning International. He had talked to Ye Feimo about it and knew that they had divorced. Ye Feimo didn’t say anything about it.
Wen Nuan had also lost her privileges. Anning no longer protected her from scandals. They treated her like any other artist. Lin Ning also noticed Ye Feimo’s attitude from this. He hated Wen Nuan.
He had lost his patience.
He no longer cared about Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan was dead set on ending her contract. No one could change her mind.
Chen Xueru, Tang Shuwen, and the others also tried to persuade her, but it was no use. Wen Nuan revealed that she wanted to go abroad to study, and everyone was at a loss for words.
Wen Nuan didn’t say anything about the offers from Huayun and Yaowei. She remained silent.
The female artists at Anning were very happy that she was leaving. After all, a strong competitor was gone, and there were only so many resources in the company. All the resources this past year had been invested in Wen Nuan, and everyone was jealous. Now that she was gone, they were overjoyed.
Wen Nuan ran into Li Yuanyuan while she was ending her contract. Li Yuanyuan had a triumphant smile. With Wen Nuan gone, Li Yuanyuan’s popularity as one of the four top actresses would increase. Li Yuanyuan said, "I can’t believe you’re leaving Anning so soon, second young mistress... No, I mean, former second young mistress. This marriage only lasted a year. You’re a real failure. What are you going to do without a powerful backer like Mr. Ye? How pitiful."
Within a year, Han Bi and Wen Nuan had both gotten into trouble. The other people in the industry who were watching from the sidelines were naturally very happy. This industry was known for its fierce competition.
Wen Nuan gave a faint smile. "Do you have anything else to say, Miss Li?"
Li Yuanyuan sneered. Wen Nuan walked past her. Everyone was waiting to see her fail.
*Wen Nuan is nothing without Ye Feimo.* That was the opinion of the other female artists in the industry. Whether it was out of jealousy or envy, some people were happy, and some were sad. She could understand how they felt.
As for whether she was nothing without Ye Feimo, time would tell.
A press conference had to be held.
At the press conference, Wen Nuan announced that she was leaving Anning and that she and Ye Feimo were getting a divorce. This was what everyone had expected. Wen Nuan explained that they were getting a divorce because of personality differences, which put an end to all the gossip.
She barely answered any other questions at the press conference.
She was ending her contract and getting a divorce. On top of all the previous scandals, Wen Nuan’s reputation wasn’t very good. Once she announced that she was getting a divorce from Ye Feimo, she would no longer be the second young mistress of the Ye family. Also, it was the first time that Anning had let a scandal about Wen Nuan be released. Reporters could easily deduce from all this that her relationship with Ye Feimo was very strained and that she had lost the Ye family’s protection. So they were no longer polite to her.
Cai Xiaojing did her best to deflect all the inappropriate questions for Wen Nuan. This might have been her last time working for Wen Nuan, so she was working even harder.
Cheng Anya was watching the live broadcast of Wen Nuan’s press conference on TV. She felt sad.
Cheng Anya didn’t stop Ye Feimo from getting a divorce. They were adults and had their own thoughts. They had their own reasons for doing what they did. Whether they were right or wrong, they had to bear the consequences themselves.
Some things, you only understand how painful they are when you experience them yourself.
She didn’t feel it was her place to get too involved in her son’s affairs.
However...
She really felt it was a shame.
She liked Wen Nuan as her daughter-in-law. Getting a divorce at a time like this... Ye Feimo looked like he was fine, but Cheng Anya knew that everything was different now.
When Ye Feimo and Han Bi broke up, he was a mess and fell into a slump.
But now, he was cold and emotionless.
