Besides, now, Chu Lui was someone else’s man and someone else’s husband, no longer hers.

  She tried hard to remove the lipstick on her mouth. That destroyed face of hers already began to turn old.

  Yes, she did not have a man anymore. She did not have a husband, a family, or even an ovary to have children.

  When she came out, the manager scolded her at full blast and even told her to get lost if she did not want to work. She really wanted to slap the ugly man’s face harshly.

  “Manager……” she said sadly and apologized, “I didn’t do it on purpose. My stomach suddenly felt uncomfortable. I believe that customer would not blame me.” She moved her body in front.

  The eyes of the man, who was close to fifty and had a beer belly, flashed. Then, he placed his hand on hers and continued to caress it. Li Manni tolerated her disgust and continued to smile.

  Some rays of light from somewhere landed on her eyes and hurt the corner of her eyes that already hurt.

  Some people could be pitied, but others did not deserve it.

  Just like Li Manni……

  Chu Lui stood in front of the toilet and was waiting for someone. When Li Manni came out again, she was tidying her clothes. Her face was red, and her lips were swollen; one look, and he knew what happened to her.

  Everyone had done it before, and there was nothing he did not know. Besides, he was Chu Lui who had personally lived with her for four years. Chu Lui raised his eyes lightly, folded his arms in front, and stood as he leaned against the wall.

  Li Manni hurriedly covered her mouth and ran into the toilet in humiliation. Chu Lui knew her physical state the best. Her lips were naturally sensitive; one light touch, and it would swell. Chu Lui was not a fool and could tell what this obvious swelling meant.

  The tap on the other side turned on, and a hand was lightly splashing the water underneath. The pair of hands was beautiful and was long and white, without a single flaw. Her long and elegant fingers did not have the color like others did and was more naturally white. On her left hand, her ring finger had a large, pink diamond.

  Li Manni raised her head and met with a woman’s smiling face.

  “Ms. Li, long time, no see.”


  Xia Ruoxin gently arranged her wig, but it still felt uncomfortable. Then, she used her hand to arrange it again until it looked the best. In the mirror, Li Manni had a fierce look; and her clenched fists looked like they would slap her at any time.

  “Ms. Li, you look like you want to strangle me.” Xia Ruoxin nonchalantly placed her loose hair strands behind her ear. “However, I hope Ms. Li will pay attention to your status. My face isn’t something that you can hit anymore.”


  She swayed out with confidence. At this moment, she felt elated to step on the people that harmed her, hurt her, and stepped all over her. It was really the happiness felt from revenge.

  Just that all things were impermanent.

  She could not even smile.

  “You’re done.” Chu Lui stood up and took her pair of cold hands. “Why are your hands so cold?”


  “The water is cold.” Xia Ruoxin pointed to the toilet behind her, but she met with Li Manni’s revengeful eyes and sausage lips. She was staring straight at Chu Lui.

  The endless grievance and hope might have meant something on another face, but when placed with this pair of sausage lips, it was unsatisfactory. However, it was a pity that this face and this pair of lips together could not stir up any feelings of pity in other people.

  “Let’s go.” Chu Lui held Xia Ruoxin’s hands tightly. To a woman who made him infertile, it was impossible for him to have any more feelings for her. Not destroying her was already merciful of him.

  Xia Ruoxin stepped with her high heels and walked forward stably. She followed behind Chu Lui, and when she turned back, she saw Li Manni scratching on the wall. One hand had already slid down following the corner of the wall. Also, her face was already contorted.

  Xia Ruoxin opened her eyes wide and placed her hands behind her back. She was not too used to the lighting now, and for a moment, she actually could not remember where she was.

  Inside the small lounge in Chu Lui’s office, she walked out barefooted. She walked on the wooden floor, and her silky foot on the floor felt cold. The coldness ran up her body to her palm. She placed her hands on her face and touched it slightly.

  Her fingers were still cold.

  She walked to the front of Chu Lui’s office chair and sat down before turning the chair behind her. The chair was big, and sitting on both was not a problem for her.

  She bent her knees on the chair and buried her face in between her knees as if she liked doing this movement like she would in the womb to protect herself. After some time, she stood up and walked to the safe that contained Chu Lui’s important documents.

  1205, she turned the lock. Ka! The safe opened as expected. She reached her hand in and took out a stack of documents before sitting on the floor and flipped it page by page. Then, she took out her phone and took a picture of every page.

  After she was done, she then placed the document back in and closed the door to the safe. Then, she threw her phone onto the table.

  She stood up, took her phone, and floated into the lounge just like a ghost.

  After a while, she turned on her phone and made a call.

  “I have what you want. When would Mr. Min proceed?”
……

  Ding! The elevator reached the eighteenth floor directly, and a pair of black leather shoes hurriedly went forward.

  Then, he pushed open a door. “Brother, something happened.”


  At this time, Chu Lui was propping his head up; and his eyes darkened as he was thinking of something.

  Du Jingtang placed both of his hands on the table. “That land is already in use and destroyed all of our plans. This also means that our three years of hard work were given to other people. Three years of our time, hard work, and investment. All the company’s biggest investment was there. Besides, the loans from the banks have become others to use.

  “Brother, what should we do?” Du Jingtang’s eyes were filled with anxiety and worry. He really hated this mouth of his. How could he say such nonsensical things earlier? Why did the good things he said not come true, but all the bad things did?

  This was not a small matter. All their previous investments of time and money all became nothing. This investment was seventy percent of their entire company’s assets. If it was not handled well, the entire company would go bankrupt.
