Luo Yingtao certainly thought of Jiang Nanmu's care for her mother's family, but she had a strong personality and was unwilling to fall behind Wang Mudan and Si Mingda. She had been competing with them, but her ability could not support her dream. She had to take advantage of Simingda's attachment to her and wanted to make more money. Unexpectedly, she still could not escape Wang Mudan's control.
"Jiang Nanmu, I know I was wrong. I'm sorry for you, and I don't dare to ask for your forgiveness. But you have to believe that what I said is sincere. We can't surpass Wang Mudan in terms of wealth, but I want to buy a house. This is the minimum requirement. With a house, my son can enjoy the life that Wang Mudan's children have. Is this idea wrong?"
What Luo Yingtao said seemed to make sense. Jiang Nanmu could understand her feelings. It was human nature for rivals to compete with each other, but he could not forgive her cheating.
"If you want to make money, you can find other ways. Why do you have to hook up with Simingda?"
“He’s the only one who will really help me.”
"Since you loved each other so much, why did you break up with him?" Jiang Nanmu asked sarcastically.
"I was young and ignorant at that time, and I didn't know what kind of person was right for me."
"Everything Si Mingda has now was given by Wang Mudan. As long as he leaves Wang Mudan, he will still have nothing. I advise you not to be obsessed with him anymore. In this relationship, Wang Mudan is the powerful one. If you anger her, neither of you will end up well."
"I know, that's why I'm discussing with you the return of the 170,000 yuan. I hope you can understand my difficulties."
Luo Yingtao looked at Jiang Nanmu pitifully. Although she had always looked down on him, as a couple, she had to seek his help in times of crisis.
Jiang Nanmu would of course feel bad about this huge sum of money, but if he didn't return it, he was worried that Wang Mudan would sue Luo Yingtao, and he and his son would inevitably be implicated.
Thinking of this, he was furious and glared at Luo Yingtao: "You should clean up the mess you made yourself, don't harm your son."
A series of misfortunes left Luo Yingtao exhausted, and she could only accept her husband's painful scolding indifferently.
"I'll take care of the mess I've caused myself. Even if I lose the agency rights to Mingdan Company, I can save money elsewhere. By closing the office and firing Xiaole, I can save over 10,000 yuan a month. I still have a dozen clients. As long as I provide good service, I can earn over 20,000 yuan a month. With my current savings, I definitely won't be able to buy a house next year, so I'll just have to wait another two years."
Jiang Nanmu remained silent, but his heart was still overwhelmed. A sudden turmoil in his good life? He couldn't let it go. If Luo Yingtao hadn't attended Simingda's baby's hundred-day banquet, she wouldn't have rekindled her old relationship with Simingda. How could their marriage have come to this point?
Man proposes, God disposes. If fate tells you to go left, you cannot turn right. There is no medicine for regret in the world. No matter how much he hates Luo Yingtao, his life cannot be separated from her. Even if he is so heartbroken that he can't breathe, he can only bite the bullet and move forward.
Three days later, Wang Mudan received the 170,000 yuan transferred by Luo Yingtao. She felt relieved and sent Luo Yingtao a message: "You are trustworthy. From today on, all grudges and hatreds are wiped out. I hope you will keep your promise and not have any contact with Simingda in the future. From now on, we will not interfere with each other."
"Okay, you win." After sending this message, Luo Yingtao deleted Wang Mudan's WeChat. She no longer wanted to have any connection with this old classmate and old rival.
The recent series of blows have left Luo Yingtao exhausted both physically and mentally. She has lost Simingda's network of contacts, Mingdan Company's export tax rebate agency business, and has to return 170,000 yuan to Wang Mudan, which is enough to make her suffer several layers of skin. When she returns home, her relationship with Jiang Nanmu is still incompatible. She is in an awkward cold war every day, and she has nowhere to vent her grievances. How can she get through this dark moment?
She really wanted to find someone to talk to and relieve the depression in her heart. She thought about her friends and didn't know who she could talk to about these private topics. It would be embarrassing to talk about these topics to others, and she didn't want to be laughed at by others.
She has been interacting more with Zhang Yixiao in recent years, and Zhang Yixiao also knows about her extramarital affair with Si Mingda. However, she is a businesswoman and only cares about profits. She doesn't know if she is intentionally distancing herself or is too busy with work. Since she took back the agency rights of Mingdan Company, her relationship with Luo Yingtao has obviously become subtle. Luo Yingtao knows that she is boring and has reduced contact with her.
After thinking for a long time, Luo Yingtao had no choice but to contact Lan Dujuan. They were old classmates and witnesses of the emotional entanglement between her, Si Mingda, and Wang Mudan. It would be nice to talk to her.
On Sunday morning, Luo Yingtao sent a WeChat message to Lan Dujuan, and they made an appointment to meet at a western restaurant next to Nanyou City Wetland Park.
Although Lan Dujuan is also in Nanyou City, they are usually busy with their own things. They have not seen each other for more than a year since attending Mengbao's hundred-day party at Simingda's house.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Luo Yingtao and Lan Dujuan came to a western restaurant next to Nanyou City Wetland Park.
Lan Dujuan felt distressed by Luo Yingtao's haggard appearance. She stepped forward, took her hand, looked left and right, and asked in confusion, "Yingtao, what's wrong with you? We haven't seen each other for over a year. How come you've become so thin?"
"I've told you on WeChat before that my relationship with Si Mingda and Wang Mudan has been a real hassle for me over the past two years. I've been plagued by so many worries lately, and I don't know how to get over them. I'm feeling so suffocated that I wanted to talk to you."
Luo Yingtao's face was filled with worry, thinking about how radiant and high-spirited she was at Wang Mudan's son's hundred-day party. In less than two years, she had become so haggard and lonely. It seemed that the double stimulation of love and money was really great!
