Zhao Haitang took over the conversation and said, "Yes, Simingda, I think so too. Although Gao Huai and Luo Yingtao have caused you to suffer huge losses, think about it the other way around. You are lucky in misfortune. You married an excellent wife like Mudan, who is both capable and virtuous. If you were with Luo Yingtao, not only would you not make as much money, but you would also be harmed by her bottomless pit family for the rest of your life. So, don't be too upset. Even if you suffered a disaster this time, you can give away your wealth to avoid disaster. This loss is much less than the price of living with her."
Simingda smiled bitterly and said, "When I think back to my interactions with her, it feels like a nightmare. Perhaps being framed by Gao Huai twice is the calamity I can't escape in my life. I accept my fate, but it's hard for Wang Mudan."
Si Mingda looked at the dejected Wang Mudan, his face full of guilt, but he said with deep affection: "You are the savior of my life, and Luo Yingtao is my disaster. I can only blame myself for being blind. Everything is my fault. I have caused you to suffer."
Si Mingda has always been arrogant and conceited. The fact that he was able to apologize to Wang Mudan in front of several old classmates this time shows that he really realized his mistake. He had to admit that since the incident, Wang Mudan had borrowed money everywhere and struggled to maintain the operation of the company. Si Mingda saw her hard work and kept it in mind. Since then, his attitude towards Wang Mudan has changed a lot. It can be seen that he sincerely wants to repent and wants to reconcile with Wang Mudan.
However, since ancient times, it is difficult to mend a broken mirror. Infidelity in marriage is like stained white clothes. No matter how you wash it, it cannot be restored to its original state. The same is true of Si Mingda in Wang Mudan's mind. On the surface, she did forgive Si Mingda. In fact, she did it for her three children and huge family wealth. Si Mingda's betrayal broke her heart. Even if she accepted him again, the knot in her heart would never be untied.
Facing Si Mingda's sincere apology, she felt very heavy-hearted, and her expression was very complicated. Even though she had a million complaints in her heart, she couldn't show it in front of her old classmates. She just smiled calmly: "We have come to this point. No matter what kind of apology, it is too late. Our next important task is to cooperate with the court trial and strive to get back the money that was defrauded. Even if we can't get back the full amount, every bit counts. The taste of paying off debts for the past two years has made me numb. I am too tired."
Wang Mudan's tired look made Zhao Haitang feel distressed. He couldn't imagine how much of a blow she had suffered in the past two years. She had to borrow money to keep the company running, endure the humiliation of Si Mingda's cheating, and take care of three children wholeheartedly. The pressure on her was not something an ordinary woman could bear.
Seeing her mood calm down a bit, Zhao Haitang quickly said, "Mudan is right. The most important thing for you right now is to cooperate with the lawsuit and get back as much as you can. It's really hard for you to have so much debt in the past few years. Fortunately, you are financially strong and have so many wealthy friends to help you. If it were someone else, borrowing this much money would be harder than climbing to the sky. Let alone millions, even borrowing tens or even hundreds of thousands would be difficult."
Simingda quickly put on a smile, looked at Wang Mudan flatteringly, and said, "Yes, the ones who helped us a lot this time were Zhang Muquan and Lao Li. Zhang Muquan lent us 5 million and Lao Li 3 million. Especially Zhang Muquan, he lent us such a large sum of money interest-free. If he had kept it in the bank, he could have earned a lot of interest, but in order to help us, he extended a helping hand without complaint. This kindness really touched me beyond words. I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life. Fortunately, the money has been repaid, so I don't have to feel so guilty. I will thank him in person when I have the chance in the future."
Wang Mudan nodded in understanding and said, "Zhang Muquan is truly a good person. I went to him to borrow money and explained my reason to him. He agreed without hesitation. It was truly a timely help. I am grateful to him from the bottom of my heart. For him, good people are rewarded. He has good character and knows how to behave. Now he has a successful career and a happy family. He is considered an elite talent among our classmates."
Lin Moli jokingly said, "Mudan, you disliked his personality because it was too 'feminine'. In fact, getting along with a man like this will not cause conflicts. Unlike my Li Danong, he has a terrible temper and quarrels with me all day long. He wants a divorce. I really can't stand him. We can't live together anymore."
Zhao Haitang looked at Si Mingda and said jokingly, "Si Mingda, we are talking about Zhang Muquan, don't you feel jealous?"
Simingda smiled generously and said, "How could that be? Zhang Muquan is my family's great benefactor. I can't thank him enough, so how could I possibly be angry with him? Not long ago, I visited him in Nanzuo City and expressed my gratitude to him in person. A friend who lends a helping hand in times of trouble is a true friend. When I'm done with my work these few days, I'll go back to his house to thank him in person."
Lin Moli took over the conversation and jokingly said, "Si Mingda, Zhang Muquan is very wealthy, so he can lend you so much money. We have no money, so we can't help you even if we want to. Are you saying that we are not true friends?"
"Hey, Lin Moli, don't get me wrong. We're just discussing the matter at hand. We were discussing Zhang Muquan just now. You are different from him, so we can't generalize. I'm very grateful that you came to visit me today. When Wang Mudan and I were in trouble, you didn't take advantage of us and cared about us from time to time. You are also my true friends." Simingda hurriedly explained to Lin Moli.
"Haha, Simingda, I was just joking, why take it so seriously?" Lin Moli teased.
Wang Mudan's mood calmed down a lot. She glanced at Lin Moli and said, "Moli, I really appreciate you coming to visit me and Simingda. Has your relationship with Li Danong improved? For the sake of your son, please stop making trouble. It's better for the original couple to live together. No matter how bad his temper is, he is your son's father after all. Just let me be tolerant and don't make too much of a fuss with him. Quarreling every day will affect the child's growth."
