Chapter 260: On What Basis
Zhu Xinyan had indeed willingly signed the prenuptial agreement to marry Su Yukan and lead a comfortable life. In fact, many couples in the circle of the wealthy clearly had such agreements about property distribution before marriage.
Not only did the males do this to ensure the safety of their assets, but many times the females also did so to protect their own property, as usually, the men and women in this circle who married were both powerful.
In simple terms, this meant, "you worry I covet your property? I’m worried about you eyeing my property too!"
Since everyone had the same reservations, everything was clearly detailed in the prenuptial agreements. This avoided disputes during a potential divorce, and during the marriage, there was mutual benefit and cooperation for a win-win situation...
Su Lu felt ashamed when she talked about it, as her own marriage had indeed been of this nature.
Furthermore, her prenuptial agreement with Gu Xin had been over ten pages long, with every clause clear, so the divorce was processed smoothly without any disputes. Potential issues had been addressed in the agreement before the marriage.
As someone who rose from being a mistress, Zhu Xinyan naturally didn’t have particularly advantageous terms in her prenuptial agreement.
At that time, all she wanted was to marry Su Yukan and lead a wealthy life, so despite knowing the agreement wasn’t in her favor, she still signed it.
She was young then, always believing that once married to him, Su Yukan would naturally treat her well and provide for her.
It was quite naive.
Over the years, Su Yukan had indeed treated her well, providing her with the best for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Although he didn’t give her much in terms of assets, she still led a good life.
