Chapter 133 My Ex-Husband is Completely Stained

Mei Nan found Xiang Jingheng in a private room at a bar.

As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of alcohol hit the door. Xiang Jingheng was slumped back in the sofa chair, holding a wine glass in his hand. Empty wine bottles were scattered all over the coffee table and carpet.

How much did they drink?

Mei Nan frowned, walked around the wine bottle, sat down next to Xiang Jingheng, and didn't say anything to persuade him, but just looked at him with a sad expression.

Only she knew how hard the young master had worked during this time.

"What brings you here?" Xiang Jingheng had come to drown his sorrows, but the more he drank, the more sober he became. "What happened at the company again?"

Mei Nan shook her head. "Things have stabilized for now. I've consulted a lawyer. As long as the third and fourth young masters' companies can pay their taxes, they'll only be locked up for a year or two at most. The chairman's intention is to sacrifice the pawns to save the king. No matter what, we have to stabilize Xiang's Technology first. Anyone can collapse, but you absolutely cannot. You are the future hope of the Xiang family."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Xiang Jingheng gave a silent, bitter smile.

hope?

"If I can't even give hope to myself, who else can I give hope to?"

Xiang Jingheng took a swig of his drink and suddenly said, "I slept with Gan Xiaoxing."

With a deafening crash, Mei Nan felt as if the world had collapsed and the earth had caved in.

"What?" she asked unconsciously.

It wasn't just done...

Recalling everything Gan Xiaoxing did to him in the hospital room, Xiang Jingheng felt an indescribable humiliation. At that moment, lying on the hospital bed, he felt that he was no longer a "person" but a "male dog" to be slaughtered. Thinking about what Gan Xiaoxing did to him, which was a scheme and plot by his mother and sister in collusion with Gan Tai, Xiang Jingheng felt an indescribable coldness all over his body.

They were his relatives and family, the women he once valued and cherished the most. He even lost his own little family because of them, leaving it in ruins.

But in the end, this is how they treated him?

Xiang Jingheng's eyes welled up with tears. He tilted his head back and downed half a bottle of wine in one go. Every sip he took was bitter to the core.

Mei Nan was processing what Xiang Jingheng had said in fits and starts, her palms clenched so tightly they ached, and her heart felt as if it had been pierced with several bloody holes.

She knew Gan Xiaoxing was always ruthless and would stop at nothing to achieve her goals, but she never expected that she would be caught off guard and give Gan Xiaoxing an opportunity to exploit her, and that's how the young master was...

That woman, she won't shed a tear until she sees the coffin!

It's clear that they went too easy on her!

She should have made those bandits even harsher on Gan Xiaoxing; being ruthless to the enemy is the greatest cruelty one can inflict on oneself.

"I'm sorry to Yu Yan."

Xiang Jingheng threw the empty wine bottle in his hand onto the coffee table, covered his face in anguish, and let out a muffled voice through his fingers, "I have absolutely no chance left."

He used to be able to confidently run up to Yu Yan and say that there was nothing between him and Gan Xiaoxing, because he really had never had any ulterior motives towards Gan Xiaoxing. To him, Gan Xiaoxing and he were just business partners, or at most childhood friends, with no romantic feelings whatsoever... But now, he can't say anything. He's truly tainted.

Mei Nan wanted to say something to comfort him, but she couldn't say anything.

Her pain at this moment was no less than his.

Mei Nan reached out and gently stroked Xiang Jingheng's back, her mind a jumble of thoughts, lost in her own ideas.

"You like me, don't you?" Xiang Jingheng suddenly spoke up.

Mei Nan's hand stiffened for a moment.

Xiang Jingheng lowered his hand, not looking at her, but silently asking with his head down, "But what is there about me that is worthy of liking? Is it because of my identity or status?"

No, because of you.

Mei Nan spoke firmly, and Xiang Jingheng turned to look at her, also seeing the light in her eyes.

"Young Master, no matter what others think of you, in my heart you are the best one, and no one can compare to you."

Mei Nan confessed her feelings to Xiang Jingheng frankly, and then immediately put herself in a suitable position, saying, "As long as I am here, Xiang's Technology will not collapse. I will definitely help you realize your dream. This is my value and the meaning of my staying by your side."

She knew he wanted to get rid of her.

But she would never leave. Even if he was abandoned by everyone and only had one person left by his side, that person would definitely be her!

Xiang Jingheng was completely drunk.

Mei Nan finally managed to get him out and into the car, but she stood by the car for a long time without getting in herself.

Next to the bar is a large hotel.

They had their farewell dinner here the year they graduated from university. That night, she drank a lot of alcohol, and Yu Yan was also encouraged to drink a lot.

Mei Nan's eyes flickered a few times in the sunlight before returning to Xiang Jingheng.

She could clearly hear her own heart saying: No regrets.

—

At noon, Shao Muyan picked up Shao Yun and took her to the Shangzhou University cafeteria, where they had a simple meal together with Yu Yan.

Shao Yun sat in his seat, watching his uncle and aunt chatting and laughing as they lined up for food. Knowing that they had made up, he felt relieved.

He also silently credited Song Cheng for his service.

The little drama queen is still the best.

Shao Muyan told Shao Yun that he and Yu Yan were going to Meisuli and would be away for the next few days, and told him to listen to his mother.

"Oh." Shao Yun nodded. "How many days are you going?"

"Three or four days, I guess," Shao Muyan said. "I'll be back by the weekend. I have a lot of work to do next week."

Yu Yan hummed in agreement; she did too.

Shao Yun ate with his head down. Shao Muyan and Yu Yan both looked at Shao Yun's little head and felt a strange sense of guilt, as if they were "leaving the child behind to go out and have fun."

"We were in too much of a rush this time." Shao Muyan patted Shao Yun's head. "I'll take you with me next time."

Shao Yun looked up at Yu Yan and asked, "Is it okay?"

Yu Yan smiled and nodded, "Of course."

Shao Yun's mood immediately improved.

After leaving the cafeteria, I went to the supermarket next door.

Shao Yun bought a lot of snacks, filling two large bags. Just as Yu Yan was about to take out her money, Shao Yun said, "No need, Auntie. These are for you and Uncle."

He paid and said to Yu Yan, "Messuri is quite far, and there aren't many shops along the way. Take this bag with you and eat it on the road. The other bag is for my parents-in-law."

The "father-in-law and mother-in-law" that Shao Yun mentioned refers to Old Man Yu and the old lady.

Yu Yan felt a surge of warmth in her heart and was immediately speechless.

"Oh my, this child is so sensible."

The supermarket owner's eyes sparkled as she looked at Shao Yun. "I've arranged everything perfectly for you."

Shao Muyan smiled, took the two bags, and Yu Yan patted Shao Yun's head and led him out of the supermarket. When they got home, their noses were still smelling sour.

"What's wrong?"

Shao Muyan returned to the family compound with Yu Yan this time. Seeing that Yu Yan's eyes were always wet, he asked her with concern.

Yu Yan looked up at Shao Muyan.

"How about we bring Yunyun along? I'm already missing him even before I've left."
