Soon, everything would be over. He could finally take revenge for his Yixuan, and Li Manni would become his wife. He always believed that she was an angel Yixuan brought to his side. It didn’t matter if she was willing or not. Chu Lui always got what he wanted.

Similarly, he would also stubbornly destroy anything he wanted to destroy. He wouldn’t leave any leeway for himself or for others.

He was the epitome of ruthlessness.

Therefore, he was cruel to his enemies and would never show them mercy.

If he was going to destroy, he was going to destroy completely. He would never give his enemies the chance to rise again.

Even more so towards Xia Ruoxin… just because he hated her so.

He lifted his lips in a smile and took the pen in his hand again. “Manni, very soon, I will let you tell me the reason.” Chu Lui wasn’t someone she could love, court, and throw at her whim. In this world, only he abandoned people—not the other way around.

In the Li family’s condominium, Li Manni stared at the phone on the table, biting her lips hard. There was no color on her face. She didn’t mean to ignore his call. She just didn’t know how to face him.

“Miss, why did you say you weren’t here?” The housemaid asked carefully. This happened all the time. Didn’t the young lady love to smile in the past? Why was she so dispirited recently? She even saw her cry in secret.

Li Manni forced a smile. “It’s nothing. I just don’t feel like going out recently. I want to rest for a few days.” It was actually a lie. She really wanted to go out, and she missed Chu Lui a lot. She realized that she loved this man more than she imagined. When she thought of him after spending a day without seeing him, her heart ached; and she longed to see him. However, she couldn’t. These three words—’Xia Ruoxin’—was like a curse, making her shut herself up and run away like a coward.

“Xiao Jie, if a woman destroyed a man’s family and caused him and his wife to divorce, is she bad?” She asked the maid tentatively.

Xiao Jie nodded vigorously. “That’s awful and utterly horrible. This kind of woman is really shameless. He has a wife, and she still wants to seduce him. She’s really the shame of all women: no morals, shameless, and like a vixen.”

“What if the man did not love his wife and wanted to divorce her?” Li Manni asked again. Xiao Jie rested her hand under her chin and thought for a long time before answering.

“Then she can appear after the man had divorced. Who would know whether the man’s marriage was ruined because of the woman?” Also, Xiao Jie seemed to have thought of something and ran to the side. She took out a newspaper and ran briskly to Li Manni’s side.

“Miss, look, this woman. She is the only daughter of this financial group, but she ended up being the third party in someone else’s relationship and drove the wife to commit suicide. The man couldn’t bear the condemnation from the public and his conscience, and so he is ignoring her now. She has nowhere to return to now.”

Xiao Jie clenched her hands together. She hated the mistresses who destroyed other people’s families and irresponsible men.

The smile on Li Manni’s face froze. Xiao Jie had no idea that the woman she was talking about was her.

Was she shameless and a disgrace? Her body shook with a heavy and conflicted heart.
