When Liu Li heard Zhong Qiang's words, she looked up and saw that he had only been arrested for a few hours, but he looked haggard. The spirited youthful energy that she had been so fond of was gone, replaced by fear in his eyes.

When she saw herself, her eyes were full of flattery and ingratiation, completely devoid of her former arrogance.

Thinking back on all that she had done for this down-on-his-luck man, she realized that she couldn't even get a single promise from him.

Now, just by standing in front of him, he can't wait to ask to marry her.

For a moment, Liu Li truly felt indignant for her past actions.

Zhong Qiang thought that once he said his heartfelt words, Liu Li would happily agree.

Seeing Liu Li standing in front of him with a cold face, staring at him intently, he felt inexplicably flustered.

He forced a fawning smile and spoke to Liu Li again: "Li, didn't you hear what I just said?"

I said, I'm willing to marry you!

"I'll marry you if you get your family to kick me out!"

Hearing Zhong Qiang's words, Liu Li felt disgusted.

She glanced at him coldly and gave a mocking smile: "You're willing to marry me?"

You're making such a disgusting thing sound like a reward for me!

Zhong Qiang, how can you be so arrogant? Do you really think I, Liu Li, would want a man who's been with other women?

"???"

Zhong Qiang never expected Liu Li to say such a thing. He stared at her with wide eyes, completely bewildered, and asked helplessly:

"Ali? What's wrong with you?"

"Oh!"

Upon hearing Zhong Qiang's question, Liu Li gave a cold snort.

Now, Zhong Qiang felt even more uneasy and hurriedly said, "Ali, I was just temporarily deceived and made a few small mistakes."

How could you become like this?

So, all your previous affection for me was fake?

Zhong Qiang felt that he hadn't done anything wrong; he had just been deceived by Zhao Xiuyun. Now that he had realized his mistake and turned over a new leaf, why was Liu Li still holding on to him like this?

For a moment, Zhong Qiang looked at Liu Li with doubt in his eyes: Can he really be happy marrying such a petty woman?

When Liu Li heard Zhong Qiang questioning her, she found it extremely funny: Who gave him the nerve?

"Zhong Qiang, are you out of your mind?"

With a cold face and a mocking smile on her lips, Liu Li sneered at Zhong Qiang: "You treated me like that before, and you still want me to help you? If I don't kick you when you're down, I'll be letting down the feelings you deceived me back then."

“Ali, you’ve changed…”

Seemingly unable to accept Liu Li's words, Zhong Qiang stared at her in disbelief and whispered.

"snort!"

Liu Li snorted coldly: "Fool, no wonder Zhao Xiuyun has her eye on you."

"Haven't you felt it all this time, being guarded against by the secretariat staff and ostracized by the county committee?"

Upon hearing Liu Li's words, Zhong Qiang suddenly raised his head, glaring fiercely at her: "You did this?"

"I did part of it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Qiang's entire body went limp, as if all his energy had been drained away: Liu Li wouldn't help him anymore!

"What a waste of time!"

Liu Li muttered something, then got up and walked out...

On the other side, Zhao Xiuyun successfully met Ruan Miaomiao.

At Zhao Xiuyun's insistence, she was bound to a chair in the meeting room and met with Ruan Miaomiao alone.

She knew that even if the bureau agreed to let her meet with Ruan Miaomiao alone, given what she had done, the bureau would definitely have someone eavesdropping behind the door, and there might even be a bugging device installed in the meeting room.

But none of that matters!

After all, she didn't really have anything to say.

Instead, they wanted to drag Ruan Miaomiao down with them. Her life was already rotten to the core, so why should Ruan Miaomiao be allowed to live a high and mighty life?

"Ruan Miaomiao, it's been a long time!"

The moment Zhao Xiuyun saw Ruan Miaomiao enter, she forced a polite smile.

Looking back on her past life, Zhao Xiuyun didn't want to appear too pathetic in front of Ruan Miaomiao.

Ruan Miaomiao did not respond to Zhao Xiuyun's greeting. She found a comfortable position to sit down, her clear black and white eyes staring directly at Zhao Xiuyun in front of her.

In the story, Zhao Xiuyun, as the female lead, had already made a name for herself in Jianshan Brigade with the male lead Shen Qingming, thanks to Ruan Miaomiao's money and supplies. Although they were supposed to be going to the countryside, they had actually been on a picnic for more than a year.

At this point, Er Laizi had already defiled the original owner's body, not only spreading rumors in the village but also verbally humiliating Ruan Miaomiao as a slut, mentally controlling the original owner and pushing her step by step toward destruction...

Unlike now, not only have I suffered a lot, but I have also been reduced to a murderer and a spy. I can forget about ever regaining my freedom in this lifetime!

Thinking of this, Ruan Miaomiao felt a sense of great pleasure!

Zhao Xiuyun naturally noticed the smile on Ruan Miaomiao's face and couldn't help but retort, "What? Ruan Miaomiao, are you happy to see me in this state?"

"Of course I'm happy, why wouldn't I be?"

Ruan Miaomiao raised her eyebrows slightly and said smugly to Zhao Xiuyun.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiuyun was so angry she felt like vomiting. This woman actually admitted it so openly!

She steeled herself and said to Ruan Miaomiao:

"Ruan Miaomiao, the reason you were able to push me to this point is because you were reborn long ago and have the memories of your previous life. That's why you didn't support me and Shen Qingming like you did in your previous life!"

Do you think you won?

No, you didn't!

Ruan Miaomiao, if it weren't for your rebirth, you wouldn't have been able to beat me at all.

I, Zhao Xiuyun, will still spend your money and tickets, sleep with your man, and even find opportunities to beat your child!

You loser, taking advantage of your rebirth to scheme against me and Shen Qingming step by step!

Without being reborn, what are you?

"Aren't they still defeated by me, Zhao Xiuyun?"

As Zhao Xiuyun spoke, her eyes were fierce and her expression was ferocious, as if she wanted to pounce on Ruan Miaomiao and tear her apart.

On the other side, Ruan Miaomiao had only a faint sneer on her lips, seemingly unmoved by Zhao Xiuyun's words.

Seeing that Ruan Miaomiao still showed no sign of responding even after she had gone this far, Zhao Xiuyun recklessly continued to entice her:

"Ruan Miaomiao, you coward! You've ruined Shen Qingming and me like this, and you still don't dare to admit that you've been reborn?"

When were you reborn?

During the time we were going to go to the countryside, right?

You changed during that time, no longer acting like a blood bag for me and Shen Qingming as you did in our previous life.

You were reborn and so decisively gave up on Shen Qingming because in your previous life, Shen Qingming came to cheat on you and died of a stroke, which made you feel ashamed.

Or is it because you feel that your husband, whom you've loved your whole life, has been deceiving you from beginning to end, and that he never truly loved you at all, that you're truly heartbroken?
