  Chu Lui took out his wallet, removed several big notes, and threw them in her face. The impact even caused her face to suffer a very painful paper cut.

  “Take the money and get out of my sight. Don’t let me see your disgusting face again.” He threw his wallet on the floor and clenched his hands tight. The sound of his joints popping could be heard.

  Xia Ruoxin blinked her tears back. She bent her body down on the floor and began picking the money one at a time. She held the money and put it in her pocket before she made her way out of the apartment. She tried very hard to ignore the piercing glare from the man.

  She forced herself to smile. It did not look pretty. He had always treated her like this. Whatever tenderness he had shown was to let her fall into the pit that he had dug.

  She had understood long ago that this man did not love her. Moreover, she had placed her love in the wrong person. Right now, she wouldn’t love him. Not anymore. Rainy was the only one she loved. Once Rainy had gotten better, they would leave this place for somewhere far away and live their lives as they had before. It might have been tough, but it was blissful.

  She raised her head. There was a dazed smile on her face. This life was good enough. She wouldn’t ask for more because she wasn’t greedy. In the past, she had been greedy, and that landed her in the state. Not anymore. She would not ask for something that didn’t belong to her. Neither would she ever love a man with everything she had.

  The love from the past was too much.

  Step by step, she left. Her face was pale. It never got the chance to get better. Her wig was also in a mess like a loony.

  A woman suddenly stood right in front of her. She seemed to have waited for a long time.

  She stopped walking. Her blurred vision cleared as she saw the woman before her with tightly pursed lips.

  “It was you,” the woman shrieked. Her gentle facade was broken in an instant.

  “Xia Ruoxin, you are shameless. How dare you seduce another’s husband!” The woman strode over swiftly. Her hand swung, and a slap landed on Xia Ruoxin’s face. There was no time for her to react. A stinging pain had spread across her face as she covered it. A deep, wounded look appeared in her eyes.

  In fact, she was shameless. That was another woman’s husband, and she had just slept with him.

  “Xia Ruoxin, how could you? That is my husband. How could you seduce him? Do you know what the meaning of being despicable or a slut is?” Li Manni was screaming crazily by now. She really wanted to tear her face off. It was the one she had hated the most. “You are really promiscuous. Can’t you survive without men? Why won’t you die? Four years ago, you did something so disgusting. How could you find the will to live through that? If I were you, I would have committed suicide by jumping off a building instead of living my life in disgust.”


  If she had not seen it with her own eyes, no one would know that beneath the gentle and kind facade of the wife of the Chu Enterprise’s CEO, she was capable of saying such vicious words.

  Xia Ruoxin slowly put her hand down. On her face was a clear handprint with five fingers. Recently, she had been slapped on her face so many times that she no longer felt the pain.
