"This man—"
Lu Siqiao recognized the man in the photo as Li Chengjun, Su Muyao's husband in her past life. The two were still deeply in love, which is why she never imagined that Su Muyao had gone through another marriage before meeting Li Chengjun.
“He was my ex-boyfriend,” Su Muyao recounted. “We were high school classmates and always very close. Later, Li Chengjun went to join the army, and Luo Zhongcheng barged into my life. He even tricked me into losing my virginity to him. When Li Chengjun returned from the army, he confessed his feelings to me, but I was already pregnant with Luo Zhongcheng’s child. I rejected Li Chengjun, but unexpectedly, Luo Zhongcheng became suspicious all the time, suspecting that we had an improper relationship. He even beat me up, and I miscarried unexpectedly.”
“Once, Luo Zhongcheng invited Li Chengjun to his home for dinner. Unexpectedly, he drugged the food and deliberately took intimate photos of Li Chengjun and me, using them to blackmail Li Chengjun into paying him two thousand yuan. In the days that followed, he became even more abusive, often beating and scolding me, or extorting money from Li Chengjun. We were extremely annoyed, but Li Chengjun, who worked for a legitimate company, couldn't stand the slightest slander.”
Mo Yan exclaimed excitedly, "Why don't you call the police? What are you lying about by just listening to his side of the story?"
Lu Siqiao raised an eyebrow. In her past life, such scumbag tricks were commonplace.
"Not only that, he also said that if I wanted a divorce, I would have to leave with nothing, and he would send these photos to my relatives so that I would be too ashamed to face anyone."
Su Muyao trembled with fear and said palely, "I tried calling the police, but people will only think that I cheated on my husband and that Luo Zhongcheng is the victim."
After understanding the whole story, Lu Siqiao said, "Since that's the case, let's retaliate in kind and put on this same trick again."
"Acting?" Su Muyao and Mo Yan were both dumbfounded.
Lu Siqiao beckoned them closer and whispered her plan to them.
"Flies don't land on eggs without cracks. This kind of scumbag is inherently unclean," Lu Siqiao said confidently.
Su Muyao was extremely grateful and whispered, "Qiaowa, why did you help me?"
“Because I’ve been caught in the rain, I also want to offer an umbrella to others. Promise me that once we’re divorced, we’ll open a psychological counseling center to help people in need, okay?” Lu Siqiao said with a smile.
Su Muyao nodded vigorously, tears welling in her eyes.
When Su Mushen returned, Luo Zhongcheng was following behind him, carrying a bag of roast ducks. He said he bought them at a nearby market and invited Lu Siqiao and the others to try them.
Lu Siqiao said in a friendly tone, "Thank you, Brother Luo. I just told Sister Mu Yao that I want to open a psychological counseling center with her. I will invest 100,000 yuan as capital, and Sister Mu Yao only needs to contribute her technical expertise."
Such a good thing?
Luo Zhongcheng grinned from ear to ear and quickly agreed.
But Su Muyao humbly replied, "I'm just afraid I won't do a good job and will let you down."
Luo Zhongcheng hurriedly said, "Ayao, didn't you say before that you wanted to open a studio? You're also quite interested in psychological counseling, so why not give it a try? What are you afraid of?"
Fearing she might refuse again, he added, "If Miss Lu is willing to partner with you in business, the Fang family will definitely support her as well." The Fang family is influential in Beijing; with their help, it would be difficult for her not to prosper.
Thinking of this, Luo Zhongcheng's gaze towards Su Muyao became affectionate.
The way she looked at the dog with such affection almost blinded Lu Siqiao.
She left a bank card, instructed Su Muyao to choose a company address, and then left.
Su Muyao picked up the bank card and tried to chase after him, but Luo Zhongcheng blocked her way.
"Are you stupid? It's foolish not to make money when you can. Don't be ungrateful."
Luo Zhongcheng snatched her bank card, his eyes lighting up at the thought of the 100,000 yuan inside.
Su Muyao gritted her teeth and said, "That's someone else's money, give it back to me quickly. What if I lose money? I don't have the money to pay them back."
“Fool, do you think they care about this little bit of money? They’re just using the guise of starting a company to compensate you for your medical expenses.” Luo Zhongcheng kissed the bank card and gave her a sinister look. “Later, we can just find a shop, set up a few tables, get a business license, and that’ll be considered starting a company.”
Isn't this just fooling people?
Su Muyao's face turned pale: "No, I can't do this, give me back my money!" She made a move to grab the bank card.
Once the money falls into Luo Zhongcheng's hands, there's no reason for it to be returned.
He dragged Su Muyao into the house, and then a loud argument broke out, along with the sound of cups breaking.
Knowing that he had a tendency to be abusive, Su Mushen frantically pounded on the window at the door and shouted, "Brother-in-law, don't hit my sister! Open the door!"
As the sound of crying rang out, Luo Zhongcheng pushed open the door, panting and looking angry, and said, "Ah Shen, don't blame me. Blame your sister for being indecent. She owes me this."
Su Mushen swung his fist, but missed.
Luo Zhongcheng pushed him to the ground and threatened, "I know you're interested in that girl surnamed Lu. That makes it even more important that you don't break off relations. What will she think of you if she finds out about your sister's shameful side?"
He patted his face and swaggered away.
Su Mushen rushed into the house and saw Su Muyao kneeling on the ground with a slap mark on her face and tears streaming down her face.
"Sister, why are you making things so hard for yourself?" He rushed over, knelt down on the ground as well, and cried heartbrokenly, "Divorce, we can't wait any longer."
"Ah Shen, Qiao Wa isn't right for you. Give up on her." Su Muyao said abruptly.
Su Mushen stood there, stunned.
Su Muyao said through gritted teeth, her expression neither sad nor happy: "I've seen through it all. Only when two people are of one mind can they be happy. Lu Siqiao is not good enough for us."
"Sister, now is not the time to talk about these things. We need to stop your husband. If he spends the money, how will we pay Qiaowa back?" Su Mushen said urgently.
Su Muyao pressed down on his shoulder: "Don't worry about him. It's not our money anyway. If Luo Zhongcheng dared to spend it, let him pay it back himself."
It's bizarre, so very bizarre.
Su Mushen said dejectedly, "You two are still husband and wife. Even if your brother-in-law spends all the money, you can't escape responsibility."
Su Muyao ignored him and instead told him to go out and cook. The two siblings ate roast duck, which completely angered the returning Old Lady Yao.
Grandma Yao looked down on her: "All you do all day is eat, eat, eat. Don't even think about how to appease Zhongcheng. Don't say I didn't warn you."
Luo Zhongcheng has a woman outside, and she's good at sweet-talking.
The old lady had already heard from her son that Su Muyao was having an affair with another man, and that the marriage was doomed. That's why the old lady was always making sarcastic remarks about her and looking down on her as a slut.
She also believed that Su Muyao was unfaithful first, so it was no wonder that Luo Zhongcheng was having affairs outside.
