"Cui Xiangdong, sign this divorce agreement."

Yue's mother, Wang Yanxia, had slid a divorce agreement in front of Cui Xiangdong.

Cui Xiangdong, now 24 years old, is a technician at the Agricultural Technology Station of Rainbow Town, Yunhu County.

His wife, Lou Xiaoya, is the deputy mayor of Rainbow Town in charge of industry and commerce.

Cui Xiangdong had a confused look on his face, but he didn't look at the divorce agreement. Instead, he stared at the calendar on the table.

The first of June!

That's right.

He had returned from decades in the future to the present day, the darkest moment that had entirely changed his fate!

In his past life.

His mother-in-law had also come to the Agricultural Technology Station on this day, on behalf of Lou Xiaoya, asking Cui Xiangdong to sign the divorce agreement.

After the shock had worn off, Cui Xiangdong had a big fight with Wang Yanxia, then hopped on his bicycle and hurriedly rode to the town government.

As Cui Xiangdong, desperate to find out why his wife had done this, kicked open the door to her office, he saw her sitting with a young man on a couch, clearly smitten.

That young man was Zhao Jian, the son of Yunhu County Mayor Zhao Gang.

After seeing this scene, Cui's blood boiled over. He grabbed a watermelon knife from the table and plunged it into Zhao Jian's chest.

And then, his brain went blank.

When he finally sobered up, he found himself in the county Public Security Bureau.

If he hadn't been a direct descendant of the Cui family from the capital, Cui Xiangdong's fate would have been sealed over a trifling matter.

After being rescued by the Cui family, they sent him straight to the far Northwest, where he developed a drinking problem and aimlessly wasted decades of his life.

"Cui Xiangdong, what's on your mind?"

The annoyed voice of Wang Yanxia woke up Cui Xiangdong.

Cui's dull eyes quickly became alert, and he asked, "Xiaoya, why do you want to divorce me?"

"You have the audacity to ask why Xiaoya wants to divorce you."

Wang Yanxia sneered and said, "Yes, you guys were college classmates, and two years ago, you relocated from the city to Rainbow Town for her. But with her hard work, she's now a deputy mayor in charge of investment promotion. And you?"

Cui Xiangdong remained silent.

"Even now, you're merely a worthless technician at the agricultural station!"

Her words dripped with scorn. "Cui Xiangdong, you don't deserve to be with Xiaoya anymore. If Xiaoya doesn't divorce you while she's still young, she will only continue to be held back by you, and her career will stagnate at the level of deputy mayor."

Cui Xiangdong remained calm, merely nodding his agreement.

This surprised Wang Yanxia.

She thought Cui Xiangdong would raise a big fuss with her.

Well, this is better, anyway.

She continued, "The most critical factor is that the old mayor is about to retire soon. If Xiaoya wants to become the mayor, in addition to continuing to work hard, she also needs the aid of higher-level connections. As it happens, Zhao Jian, the only son of our county chief, has been thinking about her since the day he met her, regardless of the fact that she's already married."

Cui Xiangdong interrupted her, "Zhao Jian, now taking advantage of his lunch break, he's in Lou Xiaoya's office, isn't he? I suppose this is also arranged by you?"

Wang Yanxia was stunned and asked impulsively, "How did you know?"

He merely laughed in response, picking up a pen and signing the divorce agreement promptly.

With a crisp snap, Cui Xiangdong threw the pen away, ignored Wang Yanxia, and walked out of the small conference room of the Agricultural Technology Station quickly.

"Rebirth, how wonderful."

Looking up at the azure blue sky, he mumbled to himself, then pushed his bike from the side of the wall and rode out of the Agricultural Technology Station.

Cycling from the Agricultural Technology Station to the town's administrative compound only took about ten minutes.

Since it was lunchtime, there were only a few people in the compound.

Lou Xiaoya's office was located at the far west end of the third floor.

Before this visit, Cui Xiangdong had not, as he had done in his previous life, spent more than ten minutes arguing with Wang Yanxia at the Agricultural Technology Station, so he arrived a few minutes earlier than he had previously.

Lou Xiaoya, who was likely getting flush-faced by now, was about to become his ex-wife.

Cui Xiangdong quickly ascended the stairs, arrived at Lou Xiaoya's office door and pushed it open without hesitation.

In the guest area of the office, on the sofa.

Zhao Jian sat with a deep affection written all over his face, speaking words of love to Lou Xiaoya.

Lou Xiaoya, on the other hand, looked flustered. She was just about to take a sip of water from her glass.

Suddenly the door was pushed open, startling both of them. They quickly raised their heads to see who it was.

The color drained from Lou Xiaoya’s face as she realized that it was Cui Xiangdong.

Zhao Jian, after a brief moment of shock, jumped to his feet and started yelling at Cui Xiangdong, “Who let you in? Get out!”

Of course, he recognized Cui Xiangdong.

And he knew Lou Xiaoya, the woman he desperately chased after, was Cui Xiangdong's wife.

But so what?

Even after being caught red-handed, Zhao Jian dared to give orders to Cui Xiangdong to leave.

Cui Xiangdong ignored him.

His eyes fell on the melon on the desk.

Beside the melon, there was a fruit knife.

This knife was the murder weapon that Cui Xiangdong had used to stab Zhao Jian to death in his past life.

But in this lifetime, Cui Xiangdong will never pick up this blade again!

Killing for a woman who only wanted to climb higher, yet ruining his own life, it was damn not worthwhile.

Cui Xiangdong looked at Lou Xiaoya again, his gaze was somewhat evasive.

Whether it was her face, her figure, or her skills in bed, Lou Xiaoya excelled in each aspect.

"Xiangdong, how come you are here?"

Lou Xiaoya had guilt in her eyes, but she feigned nonchalance.

Heh.

Cui Xiangdong chuckled a bit, counter questioning, "Did my arrival interrupt your good times?"

Huh?

Lou Xiaoya's face suddenly turned bright red.

"Damn it, get out!"

Zhao Jian cursed, swinging his fist and coming over.

Granted, Zhao Jian was not short, and his ferocious face looked quite intimidating, but becausehe had overindulged in pleasures of the wine and bedroom, he was quite frail.

When he attempted to pounce over, he stumbled in his steps.

Cui Xiangdong easily evaded, swung his fist in response, and landed a heavy blow on his chin.

Zhao Jian grunted immediately, falling to the ground.

Before Zhao Jian could react, Cui Xiangdong stepped on his neck!

"Dam--"

Just as Zhao Jian was about to curse out loud, Cui Xiangdong applied force with his foot, and the cursing abruptly ceased.

"Let him go right now! He's the son of mayor Zhao,"

Luo Xiaoya came to her senses and hurriedly said in a low voice, "We'll talk about this back home."

"No need. The divorce agreement that your mother took, I have already signed. Meet me at the county civil affairs bureau entrance at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

Cui Xiangdong coldly said, then lifted his foot and kicked Zhao Jian's face harshly again.

Amid Zhao Jian's shrieks, Cui Xiangdong turned and quickly walked out the door.

He entered a reception room on the first floor.

During the lunch break, the room was empty.

Cui Xiangdong picked up the landline phone to dial.

Soon, an authoritative male voice came from the other end, "This is Su Baichuan, who am I speaking with?"

Cui Xiangdong answered, "Uncle, it's Xiangdong."

"Xiangdong."

Su Baichuan's voice quickly softened: "Are you asking about the capital investment from the Future Group, and when it will be in place? Don't worry, it won't be long. Once your daughter-in-law receives this investment, the mayor position of Rainbow Town is definitely yours."

"Uncle."

Cui Xiangdong said softly, "I've called you this time to talk about three things."

Su Baichuan replied, "Go ahead."

"First, temporarily suspend the Future Group's investment in Rainbow Town. Second, I've divorced Lou Xiaoya."

Finally, Cui Xiangdong said, "Third, can you inform the Cui family? Tell them that I want to be the mayor of Rainbow Town."
