He was thin, with a slightly hunched back, as if he was carrying the many disappointments in life, but because of his own laziness and indulgence, he exuded an aura of listlessness.
His hair was greasy and stuck to his scalp, with strands tangled together, as if it had not been washed for a long time, and it gave off a disgusting smell.
The clothes hung loosely on his body, were full of wrinkles, and there were suspicious stains on the collar. It was obvious that they had not been taken care of for a long time.
It was such a man who, in the eyes of the original owner, was once a shining light in life.
Lin Yuexi found it really hard to understand, and her heart was filled with confusion and tangled like a tangled thread.
She couldn't help but ask herself repeatedly in her heart, what exactly was the original owner's aesthetic concept?
Such a cruel, selfish villain actually made her fall in love with him for two years and couldn't help herself!
For him, she actually opposed marrying Lu Cheng.
Lin Yuexi was thinking this when Li Mingyuan came up to her shamelessly.
He had a flattering and greasy smile on his face, and the smell of dirt and cheap tobacco became stronger and stronger as he approached, penetrating into Lin Yuexi's nostrils.
"Yuexi, I haven't seen you for so many years. You are getting more and more beautiful." Li Mingyuan grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow and uneven teeth. His eyes wandered over Lin Yuexi unscrupulously, as if he was looking at an object that he could possess at will.
Lin Yuexi took a big step back in disgust, with undisguised annoyance written all over her face: "Stay away from me, Li Mingyuan, what on earth do you want to do?"
Li Mingyuan, however, seemed not to notice her resistance, and continued to move forward, muttering, "Yuexi, look at our fate. After so many years, we finally met again. As for me, you have always been in my heart all these years."
"I?" Lin Yuexi laughed in anger. "If you really had me in your heart, why would you treat me like that? You accepted my efforts but never intended to take responsibility. You even pestered me after I got married and almost destroyed my family!"
Li Mingyuan's eyes dodged for a moment, and then he put on a pitiful look again: "Yuexi, that's all in the past. I know I was wrong. Look at me now, my life is really not going as I wish, and I don't have a stable job. Just think of it as a favor and give me a hand."
"So you're planning to blackmail me?" Lin Yuexi looked at him coldly, "Why should I help you? Just because of the shit you did in the past?"
Li Mingyuan's face darkened, and his tone became somewhat threatening: "Yuexi, don't refuse my toast and then drink the penalty wine.
"If the things that happened back then were to get out, it would be bad for your reputation. You are living such a glorious life now, aren't you afraid of being criticized?"
Lin Yuexi was burning with rage, but she suppressed her emotions, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down.
She knew that she couldn't be intimidated by threats from a scoundrel like Li Mingyuan.
"Li Mingyuan, do you think you can still control me like before?" Lin Yuexi straightened her back, her eyes revealing an inviolable majesty.
"If you dare to talk nonsense, I will go to the police station and sue you for extortion and destroying a military marriage. Everyone saw what happened back then, and it's clear whose fault it is. If you dare to pester me again, I will show no mercy."
Li Mingyuan obviously didn't expect Lin Yuexi to be so tough, and for a moment he was at a loss. He opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found that he couldn't find the right words.
"Now, get out of here immediately." Lin Yuexi ordered mercilessly, "Don't show up in front of me again, otherwise, you will regret it."
Li Mingyuan's face turned pale and blue. He hesitated for a moment, but finally turned around and left unwillingly.
Before leaving, he glared at Lin Yuexi fiercely and cursed under his breath.
Lin Yuexi looked at Li Mingyuan's retreating back, knowing that this treacherous villain would never let it go like this.
Sure enough, a few days later, some rumors began to spread in the county.
Some people say that Lin Yuexi behaved improperly when she went to the countryside and had affairs with many men, especially with Li Mingyuan, with whom she had an embarrassing past.
At first, Lin Yuexi didn't care about these rumors. She firmly believed that those who are innocent will be cleared.
But as the rumors grew more and more intense, they even reached the hospital, and her colleagues began to look at her strangely.
Some colleagues who originally had a good relationship with her also began to talk about her behind her back.
In the hospital corridor, Lin Yuexi vaguely heard two nurses whispering. "Have you heard? That Lin Yuexi, who used to have an affair with a man in the countryside, is now married and someone came to her house."
"Yeah, I really didn't expect it. He usually looks very serious, but I didn't expect him to be such a person." Lin Yuexi paused, a surge of anger in her heart, but she still suppressed it and walked straight to the office.
However, the rumor's impact goes far beyond this.
Some patients' families in the hospital also began to doubt her. Patients who originally trusted her also raised many questions about her treatment plan and even asked to change doctors.
This put Lin Yuexi in a great dilemma at work. Lin Yuexi knew that she couldn't go on like this and had to find Li Mingyuan.
Just when Lin Yuexi wanted to fight back, a woman came to her door.
That morning, the sun shone through the windows of the hospital office, casting a few rays of warm but not scorching light.
Lin Yuexi, wearing a white coat, was sitting at her desk, concentrating on asking about the condition of a patient in front of her.
Her eyes showed concern and concentration, and the pen in her hand was constantly recording key information in the medical record.
"How have you been sleeping recently? Do you feel particularly uncomfortable anywhere in your body?" Lin Yuexi asked softly, her voice gentle and professional.
The patient frowned and slowly described his symptoms. Lin Yuexi nodded slightly and listened carefully to every detail.
At this moment, the office door was pushed open with a bang, and a gust of cold wind rushed in with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Lin Yuexi and the patient were both startled by the sudden noise. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman in her twenties standing at the door.
She was wearing an old red cotton jacket, the edges of which were a little worn and the color had faded from being washed so many times.
The woman's hair was a little messy, with a few strands of hair scattered wantonly beside her cheeks. Her eyes were burning with rage, like an angry lioness.
"Lin Yuexi, you are a fickle woman. You are married, but you still try to seduce my Mingyuan..." The woman yelled at the top of her lungs, and the sharp voice instantly broke the original tranquility of the office.
Before she finished her words, she rushed towards Lin Yuexi like a madman, waving her hands in the air, as if she was going to fight.
