During this period, Meng Hui couldn't accept the change in her relationship and performed poorly at work. After she was transferred to work under Lao Xiao, she was far less clever than when she worked under Tao Rui, and Lao Xiao was already a little dissatisfied.
When he received Tao Rui's call this time, he finally understood what was going on. He was a loving wife and despised people who destroyed other people's families. He immediately asked his assistant to take care of the matter.
Meng Hui had landed an internship early due to her excellent academic performance. She had been at the company for nearly a year, but hadn't been offered a permanent position because she hadn't graduated yet. Now that her internship was over, and she hadn't been offered a permanent position, there was no dispute regarding her employment contract; she could simply complete the necessary paperwork and leave. Furthermore, Meng Hui had only recently joined Xiao's company and wasn't interested in work. The projects she was involved in were marginal, so there wasn't even any handover required upon her departure.
After the assistant spread the news, the office colleagues were shocked. Then, thinking of the rumors about Meng Hui, Xie Jiao said, "It must be because she wanted to be a mistress. Otherwise, why wouldn't she be given a permanent position if she hadn't done anything wrong?"
"I can't believe she's the best performer among this group of interns, yet she's so desperate to ruin someone's marriage. No wonder she was so unhappy when she was transferred here."
"Right, right. Look, she even dared to make a scene in President Tao's office, saying her sister-in-law was jealous and she wouldn't accept such a result. Haha, she's really good at pretending, being both a role model and a role model."
"Ahem, stop chatting in the office and focus on your work." Lao Xiao came out and saw them gathered together. He coughed twice and warned them. They hurried back to their workstations.
Before Xie Jiao had finished chatting, she immediately posted the news to the dormitory group, causing an uproar and spreading it to others. Meng Hui had just received the notice, but the company and school were already full of gossip about her.
Meng Hui rushed to the company in disbelief. Old Xiao and Mr. Wei were both gone. She spoke to their secretary and the HR manager, but it was all in vain. The HR manager simply told her to sign the contract, settle the bill, and pack up and leave. She tried to defend herself, but everyone said her probation period had expired and the company didn't want to keep her. There was no other reason. This left her with no defense.
When Meng Hui returned home with a box of things, she saw her roommate asking her about being a mistress. She could no longer deceive herself. If Tao Rui had any feelings for her, he would not let her fall into such a situation.
She thought of Tao Rui's protection of Du Yawen and then compared it with Tao Rui's coldness and ruthlessness towards her. It was obvious that Tao Rui really didn't like her, not at all.
Meng Hui closed all the curtains and shut off her phone in her room, refusing to communicate with the outside world. She drank beer after beer. Only when she was drunk could she stop thinking about the embarrassing things. She didn't dare open her phone, fearing the barrage of ridicule. She had always been excellent, praised by her family, teachers, classmates, and colleagues. Now, because of Tao Rui, everything was ruined. Why did Tao Rui treat her like this?
Meng Hui thought back over and over again to the days they'd worked together. Didn't they like each other? Why could she persist, while Tao Rui just pulled away? She didn't believe the ambiguity was an illusion. There was only one explanation: Tao Rui was just playing around with her, not even playing. Before they even started, Tao Rui had already avoided her like a beast.
The double blow of career and love made Meng Hui unable to face it. She just wanted to get drunk and die without thinking about anything.
This was the first time in her life that she had suffered such a tragic failure. She couldn't accept it. She was drunk and collapsed on the ground like a dead fish. She could still feel the pain in her heart and all her internal organs.
This gradually gave rise to hatred in her.
If Tao Rui didn't like her, why was he so nice to her? Then he pushed her to the bottom after she fell in love.
If Du Yawen didn't have depression, she would definitely not lose.
Why did Du Yawen have a child when she met Tao Rui? Why did Du Yawen suffer from depression when Tao Rui treated her well?
She hated Du Yawen, hated that child, and hated Tao Rui!
They made her like this.
She staggered to her feet, turned on her computer, found the Weibo account where Du Yawen kept her daily diary, created a secondary account, and sent her private messages one after another. She scolded Du Yawen for causing trouble just because she was sick, for clinging to her husband. She asked why she didn't just die, dragging down her parents and husband, and even affecting her children.
She didn't have many curse words, so she opened the web and searched for ways to irritate people with depression, searched for classic quotes from keyboard warriors, and posted whatever words would make Du Yawen uncomfortable. When her secondary account was complained and blocked, she would apply for a new one and curse again.
This gave her a channel to vent her hatred. Tao Rui and Du Yawen blocked her, but they certainly didn't expect that she discovered Du Yawen's online base.
Didn't Du Yawen want to make herself feel better by recording? Then she insisted on making Du Yawen suffer. Do you think the internet is a good place? There's so much malice online!
They caused her to lose her job and face, so they can't expect to have an easy life either!
Du Yawen was truly affected. It was the first time she'd witnessed such deep malice towards her. At first, they cursed her, then brought up various divorce cases and sent her news stories about people suffering from depression committing suicide and harming others, most often about harming children. She felt horrified by the messages and simply ignored them, but she still felt the pain and couldn't calm down.
Tao Rui soon discovered that she was sitting on the sofa, distracted. She stopped drawing and playing with building blocks, which she had recently become fond of, and looked like she was worried about something.
He put down what he was doing, went over to hold Du Yawen's hand, frowned and said, "Why is it so cold? Are you feeling unwell?"
He turned up the air conditioning a bit and poured her a glass of warm water. Du Yawen shook her head, gripping the cup tightly as she stared at the computer on her lap. "I've always received nothing but positive encouragement from my Weibo posts, but these past couple of days, a few accounts have suddenly appeared, constantly cursing me and saying all sorts of nonsense. I suspect they're all from the same person..."
She sighed, "I know there are all kinds of people on the Internet, and I shouldn't care about them. It's just...how should I put it, it makes me uncomfortable." She smiled at Tao Rui, "I've blocked her. Don't worry, I'll be fine after a rest."
Tao Rui had just cured Du Yawen a little, so how could he let her suffer such a shock?
He turned on the computer, glanced at it, and said to Du Yawen with a smile, "Go get some sleep. Xinxin is sleeping too, so you can stay with her. It will help your brain rest. When you wake up, we'll stew some fish."
In fact, Du Yawen listened to Tao Rui's advice very much, because Tao Rui made her feel very safe, and her condition had improved. She felt very at ease around Tao Rui, and was relieved to let Tao Rui do anything.
But this time she thought about it, held Tao Rui's hand and smiled, "I know you want to help me deal with this, but let me do it myself. If I always hide behind you, I will become fragile and let you protect me all the time. I can't walk side by side with you anymore. So let me do it. You coming to comfort me has given me courage."
Tao Rui looked at her with some surprise, realizing she had indeed improved considerably. Vitality was truly magical. When one's mindset improved, one naturally became more energetic, and that dejected feeling vanished. He suspected the treatment had been even more effective than he'd anticipated; Du Yawen was no longer so depressed.
He returned the computer to Du Yawen and told her not to handle it alone and to call him anytime. Then he went to continue consulting about the procedures for the resort transfer, occasionally checking on Du Yawen's situation.
Of course, he was not so reassured, so he did not go too far to allow the system to monitor Du Yawen's computer.
He saw Du Yawen open the private message attacking her, looked at it calmly for a few seconds and then started replying.
Words are powerful and can hurt others. But what a careless passerby says is irrelevant. I've figured it out and will no longer be affected by your malicious words. As I wrote in my diary, I cherish everyone and everything around me, every sunny and rainy day, every flower, plant, and tree.
You've posted so many news stories about wives abandoned by their husbands. I think you've never seen anything good, which is why you're so biased. My husband has always been loyal to me and loves me dearly. I've never met anyone so thoughtful and considerate, even better than my parents. It's because of his encouragement and companionship that I've regained my appreciation for the beauty around me.
I've learned to be grateful, and I think I should thank you. If you hadn't channeled so much negativity into me, I wouldn't have realized how much I've recovered. I'm so happy. I have such a wonderful husband, such a lovely daughter, such loving parents, and friends who are like sisters to me. You've made me see the beauty of what I have more clearly. Thank you.
I suggest you see a psychiatrist and get rid of your malicious thoughts, words, and actions. From now on, I won't care about any online malice. After walking around in this dark world, I will only see the good. Goodbye.
Tao Rui nearly laughed out loud when he saw what she posted. He realized Du Yawen had a rather wicked sense of humor. The letter, seemingly a calm counterattack, was actually filled with sarcasm and provocation. She wanted to make her feel bad, so she flaunted her husband, children, and all the good things. She'd gone to the trouble of sending so many private messages and looking up so much news, and she'd just casually thanked her for making her stop caring about online trolls.
It was as if the other party had put in all their efforts, but in the end, it was all in vain, and they also helped Du Yawen break through the bottleneck of her illness and become happier.
He thought that if he were that person, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
He was right. Meng Hui was practically vomiting blood in anger. She'd barely eaten or slept, and for three days straight, she'd tried every possible way to irritate Du Yawen. Du Yawen's lack of a reply was already frustrating, but she could still imagine that she was being provoked to the point of unbearable pain.
Unexpectedly, Du Yawen's reply only made her even more unbearable. She had put so much effort into it, only to make her even happier? After that, no matter what she posted, Du Yawen stopped replying or complaining. Instead, she posted a microblog diary filled with heartwarming photos and text, documenting their happy life as a family of three, eating fish, playing on the swings, and admiring the moonlight.
This time she no longer felt that Du Yawen was in so much pain that she didn't reply, because Du Yawen was obviously very happy and completely ignored her.
Meng Hui did so many things, and in the end all the pain fell back on herself. She couldn't help but look through Du Yawen's records over and over again, which made her even more painful, and the cycle continued.
