Lin Meizhi said, "He only has eyes for you now, so please don't give him any false hope, okay?"
Su Xueli sneered: "I didn't give him any hope."
Lin Meizhi shook her head and smiled: "I've heard that you two are doing business together, which is almost the same as not being divorced."
The truth will out eventually. Su Xueli knew that she couldn't hide it any longer, so she told her about her current situation with Wei Mingshen.
Then she declared: "You're wrong to say it's almost like a divorce. We just work together during the day, and he goes back to his home to sleep at night. Besides, we're completely innocent."
Lin Meizhi asked, "Really?"
Su Xueli said, "Believe it or not, it won't affect me at all. Let me tell you, the only reason I'm still tied to him is for money. Once you resolve this, we'll have nothing to do with each other anymore."
Lin Meizhi's eyes lit up, as if burning with the dawn of hope, and she asked, "How much?"
Su Xueli gave a number and then said, "His mother lives in the county hospital. You can go and help her in her time of need."
Lin Meizhi bit her lip and said, "I'll give you the money first."
Su Xueli nodded: "Okay."
Lin Meizhi said, "You wait!"
She ran out in a hurry.
Su Xueli watched her retreating figure with mixed feelings, but still shrugged and said, "What you can't have always seems more alluring. Let him have her."
However, she felt a little lonely cooking in the kitchen. Since moving here, she had been eating with Wei Mingshen almost every morning, and he always cooked for her.
She quietly prepared the meal, ate it quietly, and was just about to feed the dog when Xiao Jiu came running in again, asking as soon as she entered, "Sister Xue Li, has Brother Wei arrived yet?"
"No, he's in the hospital."
"Which hospital is it? I'll go and take care of his mother."
Su Xueli glanced at her and said, "Xiao Jiu, we're not three-year-olds anymore. Think before you speak."
Xiao Jiu said earnestly, "Sister Xue Li, I'm telling the truth. His mother is sick, and this is the perfect opportunity for me to make my move! Think about it, if I go to the hospital to take care of his mother, won't he be moved? Won't his mother be moved? Won't his father be moved...?"
“His mother has his father and sister to take care of her, it’s not your turn,” Su Xueli said sternly.
Xiao Jiu stood up straight and looked at Su Xueli somewhat timidly.
Su Xueli scolded her: "Do you think you're someone who has nothing to do? You're my worker. If you have something to do, you have to ask for leave. You can only leave if I agree. You can't just come and go as you please."
Xiao Jiu pouted and said, "Yes, I was wrong, Sister Xue Li."
Su Xueli said, "They don't need you over there. Don't flatter yourself and make a fool of yourself. Hurry up and go inside to work."
Xiao Jiu agreed and went to the workroom.
Su Xueli finished washing the pot and cleaning the stove, and took the leftovers to feed the dog. Lin Meizhi arrived. Without saying a word, she grabbed Su Xueli's hand and stuffed a thick wad of money into it, saying, "You've cut ties with Wei Mingshen."
Su Xueli nodded: "Okay, you can return the money to me on his behalf."
Lin Meizhi said, "Yes, if he comes to your place again, you can chase him away."
Su Xueli said, "Don't worry."
Lin Meizhi looked at her and said emphatically, "Xueli, although I have always regarded you as an enemy, I trust your character and believe that you will keep your word."
Su Xueli said, "Wait a minute."
She went back into the house, got out paper and pen, and said, "I'll write you a receipt."
