Xu Ningyan noticed that Xu Zhenzhu was staring blankly at him without saying a word, which was rather unsettling.
She took a step back warily. Although Xu Zhenzhu wasn't very bright, she was wicked. Who knew what kind of trouble she might cause next?
The thoughts of a smart person can be traced, but when a fool is about to do something bad, you can never guess what he's thinking.
Seeing Xu Ningyan's guarded demeanor, Xu Zhenzhu couldn't help but mock, "What are you afraid of? You're doing so well now, with a good job and a successful man. Shouldn't you be showing off?"
Xu Ningyan scoffed: "You think I'm like you? Can't even hold two ounces of sesame oil in my belly? You only shout about what you lack. I don't lack people envying me, what do I have to brag about!"
These words were like a knife to Xu Zhenzhu's heart.
Xu Zhenzhu's expression changed. Wasn't Xu Ningyan indirectly criticizing her?
However, she had to admit that Xu Ningyan was right; she was not as composed as Xu Ningyan.
Therefore, Xu Ningyan was able to endure humiliation and remain the wife of the richest man in the provincial capital for her entire life, while she has broken ties with Lu Kai and the Lu family and is now in a dilemma.
Xu Zhenzhu's expression changed for a long time before she finally uttered, "Xu Siya! I admit, I lost to you! I'm not as good as you!"
Xu Ningyan became increasingly wary. Given Xu Zhenzhu's character, how could she say such a thing?
Could it be that they're preparing a big surprise?
Xu Zhenzhu sensed Xu Ningyan's wariness towards her and said with a bitter smile, "Now that I've fallen to this state, what can I do for you? I only came to you to talk about what was on my mind, but now, no one is willing to listen to me!"
Xu Ningyan remained silent.
Xu Zhenzhu didn't care whether Xu Ningyan wanted to listen or liked it, and started talking on her own: "How did I end up like this? What did I do wrong? Although I had some selfish motives towards Lu Kai, I really liked him! I was sincere to him, and I was willing to do anything for him. Why did he treat me like that? I was an innocent young woman who married him, and I'm not even as good as a vixen or a used woman?"
"Why did Lu Kai treat me like that? How could he be so heartless? Is Meng Ruyi really that good? Are you and I both inferior to her?"
"Isn't it ridiculous? What's the point of us fighting each other for two lifetimes, fighting to the death? We can't even hold onto a man's heart. What's the use of all our fighting? It all just benefits that bitch Meng Ruyi!"
"I'm not reconciled! I finally got this opportunity, how come it's not as good as my past life..."
Xu Ningyan frowned as she listened. Had Xu Zhenzhu gone mad? Or had she gone completely mad? She actually revealed the secret of her rebirth?
But Xu Zhenzhu dared to say it, while she herself could not admit it.
He immediately retorted sharply, "What nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean I've been fighting with you for two lifetimes? Fighting to the death over a man? Stop ruining my reputation! Only you would be interested in a trash man like Lu Kai. It's your business if you like collecting junk, don't drag me into it, I wouldn't even look at you!"
Xu Zhenzhu was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and muttered to herself, "Yes! You never competed with me in this life! I took it by force! It was never truly mine, and even if I had taken it, it would never have been mine!"
Then, with a hint of madness in his eyes, he looked at Xu Ningyan and said, "But why are you able to live such a good life? What makes you so special? In your past life, you had Lu Kai, and in this life, even without Lu Kai, you still have Gu Zhiyuan! What makes you so special? What am I lacking compared to you? Tell me, what am I lacking compared to you? Why is God so unfair? I was given a second chance and met someone like Lu Kai! But you, even without Lu Kai, can live a better life than me? Why is that?"
They looked like they wanted to rush over and tear Xu Ningyan apart.
Xu Ningyan glanced at the sky. It was already late, and now he had to listen to Xu Zhenzhu spouting nonsensical nonsense.
He impatiently interrupted Xu Zhenzhu: "I'm doing better than you because I'm not like you, who would give up everything just to live a good life! I think I've figured it out now. You pushed me into the water for Lu Kai's sake, trying to kill me, didn't you? You're so ruthless. You don't even care about the life of your own flesh and blood for a piece of trash like him."
"You're so capable, so why are you scared and cowardly when Lu Kai and the Lu family bully you and wrong you? Where did the ruthlessness you showed when you wanted to kill me go? What, you could be so heartless to me back then, but you're so soft-hearted and cowardly to a man who harmed you? Bah! You cowardly bully at home!"
"How dare you ask me why I'm doing better than you? Of course I'm doing better than you, because I have humanity! I won't harm people for a little benefit like you! I won't disregard other people's lives like you! I don't do anything wrong! So it's my right to live a good life! And the way you've ended up is your just deserts! You deserve it!"
"God is fair. It would be unfair if someone like you could live a good life!"
"If you want to vent your anger and get revenge, go find Lu Kai! That's the man you've been pursuing relentlessly, even going so far as to kill someone to get him! What do you want from me? Are you trying to pick on the weak? Or are you hoping I'll stand up for you?"
"I told you, it's still early, stop daydreaming!"
Xu Ningyan finished speaking in one breath, then shoved Xu Zhenzhu, who was still blocking her way, aside: "A good dog doesn't block the way! Get out of my way! And don't come looking for me again. Although I'm happy to know you're not doing well, seeing you makes me sick! Get lost—"
He spat at Xu Zhenzhu, got on his bicycle, and rode away.
Xu Zhenzhu was so dizzy from the spray that she finally came to her senses, only to be pushed away by Xu Ningyan. She could only watch helplessly as Xu Ningyan rode away on her bicycle.
However, her eyes also turned sinister. Regardless of everything else, Xu Ningyan was right about one thing.
Lu Kai is the man she has longed for for two lifetimes. Even if she can't have him, she can't let that bitch Meng Ruyi have him!
Do they want to be together forever?
It also depends on whether Xu Zhenzhu agrees or not!
Xu Zhenzhu felt a surge of energy, and her eyes lit up. Without a word, she got on her bicycle and rode towards the Lu family's house.
When Xu Ningyan got home, the sunset was in full bloom. As soon as she reached the alley entrance, she saw the lackey peering out from the alley.
Upon seeing her, it wagged its tail and came running towards her.
They followed Xu Ningyan's car home together.
As soon as you enter the courtyard, you can smell the aroma of food.
Hearing the noise, Gu Zhiyuan poked his head out of the kitchen: "You're back! Wash your hands quickly. On my way home from get off work, I stopped at a state-run restaurant and ordered a braised fish and a stir-fried dried tofu with smoked meat. The rice will be ready soon, so you can eat as soon as you wash your hands."
During the last Cold War, Gu Zhiyuan not only cooked noodles, but also learned how to cook rice. His skills were not bad; at least he could cook the rice properly.
So when he got home from get off work today, he saw that Xu Ningyan hadn't arrived home yet, so he started cooking dinner.
