The first sword after coming ashore, first slay the one in my heart.
After Shen Yixiao became a new star in business, the first person he backstabbed was me, who had accompanied him through t...
Chapter 97 Don't Feel Injustice for Me
"They really need to meet and talk about work issues. Xu Zhengnan, are you deliberately trying to stir up a conflict between him and me?!"
I didn't know what was wrong with me. I was so ashamed that I started talking nonsense, trying to save what little dignity I had.
Even if Xu Zhengnan and others saw the previous rumors on the Internet, they could explain that they were all false. Anyway, they didn't see it with their own eyes, so I could still comfort myself by deceiving myself.
But at that moment Xu Zhengnan had already witnessed the disgusting scene with his own eyes, and my explanation seemed pale and ridiculous.
Xu Zhengnan rarely gets emotional, and getting angry is too petty for him.
However, whenever it comes to things like Shen Yixiao and I, he has trouble controlling his anger and his disappointment in me.
He was standing one step higher than me, and the sense of oppression was stronger. His face was full of coldness, and his narrow and long phoenix eyes were filled with anger. "Is it so difficult to admit your mistakes? Li Yue, is it difficult for you to admit that you chose the wrong person?!"
I shook his hand off and forced myself to calm down.
I don't want Xu Zhengnan and my parents to get involved in my mess, because if Shen Yixiao finds out, he will definitely take revenge on them.
"Xu Zhengnan, why are you saying all this? Are you still competing with me? I didn't listen to you at the beginning. Have you been waiting for me to regret it?" I pushed him away with harsh words, "I have never regretted it. You don't need to interfere in the affairs between me and Shen Yixiao, and don't feel sorry for me!"
A chill burst out from Xu Zhengnan's whole body, and it seemed as if frost was filling the warm stairwell.
He looked down at me, the anger on his face had faded, replaced by mockery, "In that case, why did you go back to your parents to reconcile? You know very well that as long as you are still with Shen Yixiao, they will never forgive you."
I know very well how unwilling he is in his heart, and he also understands the pain in my heart.
At this moment, we are like two hedgehogs that have met again after a long separation. We want to hug each other, but we can only hurt each other.
The scene of my father throwing away my gift that day emerged in my mind. The disappointment and sadness came to my heart again, and I couldn't help but redden my eyes.
Falling into the abyss is not scary, but climbing up only to be pushed down again is scary.
"If you go into that room now and tell Shen Yixiao that you want a divorce, then I will help you. I will do my best to help you with whatever you want. Li Yue, for the sake of our friendship as we grew up together, that's all I have to say."
Xu Zhengnan softened his tone and lowered his voice a little, as if giving me a way out.
It would be nice if someone could help me.
Xu Zhengnan has a good family background, a dazzling identity and resume, and a smart mind. If he helps me, maybe it will be easier for me to leave Shen Yixiao and take revenge.
But Shen Yixiao is no longer the little gangster with nothing. He has the ability to fight back.
He knows more about those dark methods than Xu Zhengnan.
If I accept Xu Zhengnan's help, I will have to drag him into this. He was living a good life, but his peaceful days will be disrupted by me. I can't be so selfish.
I had thought about using him to take revenge on Shen Yixiao before, and just this thought alone made me repent countless times.
"I don't need it. I'm doing fine." I looked straight into Xu Zhengnan's eyes and answered word by word, "Please don't tell my parents these false news."
The light in Xu Zhengnan's eyes faded away, as if a drop of ink blended into the night, silent and quiet.
My father's attitude made me despair. I no longer dreamed of returning to my family. Leaving Shen Yixiao and settling abroad was my ultimate goal at the moment.
He didn't speak or move.
I hurriedly escaped from his sight and ran back to my room.
In order to prevent Shen Yixiao from knowing that I had been out, I hurriedly wet myself, changed my clothes, and pretended to take a shower.
Just came out of the bathroom, Shen Yixiao was coming in from outside.
He spoke naturally, "Wife, the sunset outside is so beautiful. I even ran to the beach to take a look. You can go and see it too."
I looked at his crooked bow tie with a stiff smile on my lips, "Well, you should take a shower first."
He took off his coat, tore off his tie and threw it aside, then came over and put his arm around me, "Is it fun here? If it's fun, we can go back two days later."
"Go back early. I'm a bit attached to my bed." I made up an excuse.
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife. I'm going to take a shower first." He replied happily.
After he let go of me and walked into the bathroom, I took a deep breath. There was still the scent of Lu Xiaoyun's perfume in his arms. Although it was covered up by the smell of cigarettes, I could still recognize it.
I took my phone and went out, not wanting to wait for Shen Yixiao to come out in the room.
The beach restaurant is just downstairs from the hotel, so I planned to go there and wait in advance. The sea breeze blew with a salty smell, and after standing there for a while, I came to the restaurant.
"Do you think that Secretary General Shen Yixiao looks a lot like his wife?"
"I think, at first I thought the secretary with long hair was his wife."
"I almost admitted my mistake. His wife is so generous that she dares to keep such a woman by her husband's side."
"If I had a husband as awesome as this, I would be willing to do it as long as the money was in place."
"Well, material woman!"
Two staff members from the brand also arrived and were chatting, unaware that I was behind them.
Why is it that nowhere is peaceful?
I turned around and walked out, just going to sit on the beach for a while.
The setting sun was as red as blood and the sea was ablaze. I found a beach chair to sit down and rest, quietly watching the beautiful scenery.
"Xiaoyue." Aunt Yang appeared out of nowhere and greeted me warmly.
I was startled and quickly stood up and said, "Aunt Yang."
“Why did you walk so fast in the hotel just now?” Aunt Yang asked, “Was Shen Yixiao waiting for you?”
I didn't know how to answer, so I just nodded.
"It's best if the couple has a good relationship." Aunt Yang sighed, "After Zhengnan's father left, I often thought about our youth and hated that God gave us too little time."
I listened silently. In my memory, Xu Zhengnan's father was very good to Aunt Yang. I heard my parents talk about it. Although Aunt Yang had a good education and family background, there was a huge gap compared to the Xu family.
The Xu family did not agree with Uncle Xu marrying Aunt Yang, and they were unhappy about it.
After they got married, they bought a villa and lived separately. They didn’t have much contact with the Xu family.
Fortunately, Uncle Xu was very good at business. Later, thanks to this and the emergence of Xu Zhengnan, the tension between him and Aunt Yang and their family was somewhat eased.
Even so, after Uncle Xu left, Aunt Yang was still reluctant to go back to the Xu family, preferring to stay in the empty room alone.
I still remember that Xu Zhengnan didn’t like going back to his grandparents’ house since he was a child.
