Chapter 86 Chen Shimei

Sitting in the box, Meng Ruoxi couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

I know very well that truth will come out sooner or later. If the situation did not allow me to do so, why would I hide the truth?

Once the marriage is exposed, my family will not allow me to divorce Shi Yanjin.

A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. Parents would require their parents to take care of their husbands and children instead of supporting their parents in everything they do as they do now.

But I really don't like Shi Yanjin. If I had the slightest affection for him, I wouldn't be so opposed to this marriage and him.

He is a devil. Everyone says he is nice to them, but he cannot even tell them how he tortures himself in private.

The physical torment will go away but the inner torment will never go away.

He really is mentally ill and it has even reached a very serious stage. Every time he looks at me, I feel like he wants to eat me alive.

Countless worries surrounded my heart and made my brows look depressed.

A momentary mistake has created today's difficult situation, and my tired heart seems to be unable to bear it any longer.

The moment I walked out of the teahouse, I felt that the eyes of the pedestrians on the street looking at me were extremely strange.

Do they know that I have abandoned my husband and children?

He shook his head for a moment, thinking that he was overthinking it. They couldn't possibly know.

Xiang Chengwu didn't expect to meet his beloved in the teahouse. Just when he was about to say hello, he saw the dried blood on her forehead and was shocked.

"Ruoxi, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Ruoxi heard a familiar voice and looked over. Seeing it was someone she hated, she looked away and walked away.

Xiang Chengwu quickly chased after her and asked worriedly, "Ruoxi, how did you get hurt?"

Meng Ruoxi was annoyed, "I'm in a bad mood right now. I hope you can be more aware and stop bothering me."

Don't you know you are annoying, buzzing around your ears like a fly?

Xiang Chengwu shook his head with a determined look, "No, you are injured, I must send you to the hospital!"

As he said this, he reached out and held Meng Ruoxi's hand, trying to take her to the hospital.

Meng Ruoxi shook his hand away with all her strength, "Let go!"

Xiang Chengwu didn't let go, "Ruoxi, stop making trouble. You are injured and you must go to the hospital to treat your wound immediately."

Meng Ruoxi's body was filled with chills and she raised her leg to kick his knee, "I can go to the hospital by myself. I don't need you to send me or care about me. We are not familiar with each other!"

There was a pain in her knee, but Xiang Chengwu still held her hand tightly, "You are not in a good condition. I can't just leave you alone."

Meng Ruoxi was so angry at his stubborn and rigid attitude that her face turned blue.

The hand on the wrist was like an iron inlay and could not be shaken off no matter what. Passersby kept looking at the two of them with amusement in their eyes.

It seemed like the two were fighting as a couple.

Xiang Chengwu softened his voice, "Ruoxi, please stop making trouble and take care of your wound."

Looking at him as if he were a mental patient, Meng Ruoxi asked coldly, "Are you sick?"

Xiang Chengwu laughed, "You think I'm a psychopath because you don't like me. Let's go to the hospital."

Meng Ruoxi lowered her eyes and looked at her wrist, and said gently, "If you let go, I will go with you."

Xiang Chengwu already knew her personality a little bit so he didn't fall for it. "I would rather hurt myself than hurt you. If you don't treat the wound on your forehead, it might leave a scar. You are so beautiful, you probably don't want another scar on your face, right?"

Looking up at him, Meng Ruoxi asked expressionlessly, "You don't understand what I'm saying? You're so shameless and funny? Am I lame or stupid and can't go to the hospital by myself? Put away your excessive protectiveness and concern, it's really disgusting."

Xiang Chengwu remained calm and even smiled, "No matter how harsh the words are, they can't stop me from liking you and even wanting to get closer to you. Indifference is just your appearance, not your true heart. You are kind by nature, otherwise you can use me to do anything for you."

It was rare to see such a self-righteous person. Meng Ruoxi looked at him in surprise, "Why don't you think about the fact that you have no value to use?"

Xiang Chengwu's gentle expression froze for a moment, and then he promised with a serious face, "Ruoxi, I will work hard to make myself useful. Can you wait for me..." The volume of his voice gradually decreased.

Meng Ruoxi curled her lips, "The word 'wait' is too funny, just as ridiculous as your self-righteousness. Let go and don't humiliate yourself."

Xiang Cheng Wu, who had been reluctant to let go, suddenly let go and shouted at her back, "Ruoxi, I will prove it to you."

Meng Ruoxi paused, turned around and looked him up and down, then smiled and said sarcastically, "How can you still be so naive at your age?"

I couldn't help but think of that bastard.

If only men were this easy to deal with.

I became irritable.

Now that my mother-in-law and the kids are here, I guess my bastard will be here soon too. Then it will be really chaotic and torturous.

I went to the hospital, had my wound treated briefly, and then went home.

The wound is not serious but tomorrow's performance will probably be ruined.

I stood in the yard and called my mother a few times, but no one responded, so I went back to my room.

Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, looking at the wound on my forehead, I felt depressed.

I can't blame anyone for what has happened. Now I can only avoid and conceal it as much as possible or make a quick decision to calm the impact after the incident.

My mother-in-law refused to leave and wanted to take the children to settle in Kyoto. She was afraid that the truth might be exposed in the future.

Now only a successful divorce can make the past disappear.

While she was thinking, she heard some noise outside the room. It should be her mother coming back, so Meng Ruoxi got up and walked out.

Li Aihua was carrying a lot of bags in her hands and smiled tenderly at her daughter. However, her expression changed instantly when her eyes touched the wound on her daughter's forehead. "Ruoxi, why is your forehead injured?"

He dropped what he was holding, walked quickly forward, held his daughter's face and looked at her carefully, his eyes full of worry.

Meng Ruoxi lowered her eyes and smiled, "It's nothing, I was accidentally injured on the road."

Li Aihua looked puzzled, "What on earth happened?"

Pulling her mother to sit in the living room, Meng Ruoxi told the story, "I heard from the people who were watching the excitement that an educated youth abandoned his wife and children and returned to the city, and was beaten up by the girl's parents. When I was passing by, a cup happened to hit me, and I didn't have time to dodge and got hurt."

Li Aihua frowned, "I had expected this kind of situation. Most of the educated youth chose to get married in order to live a good life, and then chose to abandon their wives and children or husbands and children after returning to the city. Their behavior is shameful and extremely shameless."

Holding her daughter's hand, she looked relieved, "Fortunately, you and your brother were obedient and didn't make me worry. Mom has already started arranging your marriage. The man will definitely be a handsome and capable young man from an aristocratic family."

This is not an exaggeration. The Meng family, with its upright family tradition and its many scholars, had many options to choose from.

Meng Ruoxi's heart trembled, "Mom, is it unworthy of forgiveness for someone who abandons his wife and children?"

I held my breath, waiting for my mother's answer, feeling both anticipation and fear.

Li Aihua answered without hesitation, "Most people who abandon their wives and children are greedy for fame and fortune and have cold hearts, just like Chen Shimei who abandoned his wife as soon as he gained power. Naturally, they are not worthy of forgiveness."

The look in her daughter's eyes gradually became strange, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
