At this time, her ex-boyfriend, Du Zihao, suddenly appeared as the illegitimate son of the wealthy Du family.
Cheng Xiao often ran into Du Zihao, and over time she got used to his presence. The two often drank coffee and had heart-to-heart talks together.
Gradually, the gentle and considerate Du Zihao won her heart.
The two began their clandestine affair.
The Xiao and Du families have always been in the same industry, sometimes cooperating and sometimes rivals.
Cheng Xiao inadvertently leaked the Xiao family's secrets, which led to the Du family gaining the upper hand in a major project, causing the Xiao family to suffer heavy losses and go bankrupt.
After the Xiao family was liquidated, they didn't even have a place to live.
Cheng Xiao gave up the small apartment that Xiao Li had transferred to her name when they got married, so that Xiao's family could live there, and she divorced Xiao Li.
Everyone said she was loyal and righteous. Even when she later married Du Zihao, people only said that she finally got away from the scumbag and reunited with her first love.
Cheng Xiao gained fame and later became the mistress of the Du family.
?
Congratulations to the two of you on your marriage!
When Xiao Li regained consciousness, she found herself reaching out her hands to receive a large red booklet.
Xiao Li locked 123 in the dark room again. Tongzi was really hateful. If he had come a moment earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.
She was startled when she saw the girl next to her with a stern face. This time, she had actually become a... man...
Yes, she transmigrated into the body of Xiao Li, the unlucky third son of the Xiao family, who married a million-dollar bride.
She was thinking about the possibility of getting a divorce certificate right now, immediately.
This is what tomorrow's headlines should look like.
"Stunning! The wealthy really know how to play games! The young master of the Xiao family got married and divorced on the same day, as if they were playing house!"
Breaking news!!! The third young master of the Xiao family is getting married for the second time!
"The Xiao family is too audacious! They treat marriage like a game and toy with poor girls!"
Xiao Li shuddered; if she did that, she would definitely get a beating tomorrow.
Besides, the Xiao family's company is huge and powerful; its stock will definitely plummet tomorrow, so they absolutely cannot afford such a scandal.
Xiao Li shook her head, put away the red booklet, and walked out of the certificate hall without saying a word.
The staff looked at Xiaoli with surprise at her rapidly changing expression. Had she just said something wrong? Why did the groom seem unhappy?
Cheng Xiao was even more unhappy. See? The man changed his attitude as soon as they got their marriage certificate. He's such a jerk.
Seeing Xiao Li get into the car and start the engine, she became anxious. It was quite far from the Xiao family villa, and she didn't want to take a taxi back. She needed to save her money for her younger brother's living expenses.
Xiao Li hadn't even thought about the other person needing a ride. All she wanted to do was go home, get a good night's sleep, and mentally prepare herself to accept the fact that she had become a man.
The car started slowly, and after only a few meters, a screeching sound of glass scraping against the windshield was heard.
Xiao Li stepped on the brake and turned her head to look.
Cheng Xiao clung to the glass in a disheveled state; her newly done nails even broke off at the root due to excessive force.
"ah……"
She screamed in agony as her fingernails fell off completely, bleeding profusely.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Open the door."
Xiao Li rolled down the car window, frowning. She didn't want to see Cheng Xiao at all right now.
"Xiao Li, what's wrong with you? Look, my fingernail has peeled off. Take me to the hospital quickly."
Xiao Li was furious when she saw Cheng Xiao giving her orders so confidently.
“I’m not your driver. You broke your fingernail by climbing on the car yourself. It wasn’t me who did it. Go take a taxi yourself.”
After saying that, she rolled up the car window and drove away.
Cheng Xiao was almost in tears. Was this how he treated his newlywed wife? She knew Xiao Li could never love her; he was just fooling her.
She crouched down, hugged her knees, and started crying, but unfortunately, not a single domineering CEO jumped out to ask her why she was crying.
After a long while, she remembered that she hadn't treated her finger. Looking down, she saw that the bleeding had stopped, but the area was still covered in scarlet blood, which looked quite gruesome.
Cheng Xiao stood up, swayed slightly, and felt a little dizzy from squatting for too long.
She hailed a taxi and went to the hospital by herself.
After the bandage was finished, it was already evening. Cheng Xiao touched her phone, which had been silent all along, and felt even more aggrieved.
If you treat yourself like this right after getting married, how will you live your life from now on?
She took out her phone and dialed the number anyway.
"Beep beep beep... Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later!"
the number…
Cheng Xiao was so angry she wanted to smash her phone, but she was also a little reluctant. It was a brand new Apple phone, and she had never used such a nice phone before.
She stomped her foot angrily, but still hailed a taxi to return to the Xiao family home.
"Third Young Madam, you're back."
The maid, Ah Ling, was quick to notice and brought over a pair of slippers.
In truth, she looked down on this third young mistress. She was just a girl from the slums who was lucky enough to be chosen by the third young master.
However, she had to be respectful to her because the Third Young Master liked her and she couldn't afford to offend her.
Only at this moment did Cheng Xiao feel like she was part of this family.
"Um."
She changed her shoes and went into the room.
"Xiao Li, you've gone too far. I went to the hospital alone, and no one was with me. I called you, but your phone was off. Do you look down on me?"
"If you look down on me, why did you marry me?"
Cheng Xiao was extremely aggrieved, tears already streaming down her cheeks, looking utterly pitiful.
Xiao Li was sleeping. She had just taken a shower, intending to relax and accept the reality.
But after taking a shower, she became even more distraught.
She had no choice but to lie on the bed and try not to think about the embarrassment of going to the toilet.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, Cheng Xiao came in and bombarded Xiao Li with her loud voice, which was over 100 decibels.
Xiao Li groggily opened her eyes and glanced at Cheng Xiao.
"Isn't it normal for a phone to run out of battery and shut down? Is it really worth making such a fuss about? Be mindful of your status as the young mistress of the Xiao family."
If it weren't for the good soundproofing of this room, I believe there would already be a lot of people watching the show outside the door.
Cheng Xiao paused in her sobbing, feeling even more distressed.
She was injured, but Xiao Li didn't ask a single question. Instead, he questioned himself for being too loud.
She sat in the chair and sobbed, making Xiaoli's eyelids twitch.
Oh dear, her hands are so itchy!
No, she has to reason with people!
Xiao Li picked up her pillow and left.
After leaving the house, she instructed the servants to move her belongings to the guest room, and then went downstairs to eat.
When Cheng Xiao saw that Xiao Li wasn't trying to comfort her like before, she felt a surge of bitterness and started crying again.
She didn't go downstairs to eat when it was time to eat.
In the dining room, Xiaoli sat at her seat and picked up an Australian lobster. The lobster had already been prepared, and she just needed to pick it up and eat it.
The meat is so tender and juicy, every bite is pure meat, it's absolutely delicious.
