Chapter 344 - No Such Thing as a Perfect Woman (1/2)

They spoke as if no one could hear them, without any clue that the Chu Lui they spoke of was sitting nearby.

Du Jingtang raised his head, looked at Chu Lui, and then looked at Li Manni. It definitely seemed true.

”I said before that a woman's heart can sometimes be many times scarier than her appearance, and this applies to that Li Manni, too. You can never fully know a person.” Customer B chuckled. The sarcasm in his voice was not difficult to detect.

The smile that had just started to form on Li Manni's face froze. What do they mean by that? Her face turned dark instantly. Did she offend them? Why did they have to talk about her like that?

”Why, do you have some inside story?” Customer A's interest was piqued. Even Du Jingtang pricked up his ears to listen. As for Chu Lui, his face was expressionless as always as if it was all none of his business, though his black eyes flashed with deep displeasure.

”Do you still remember that sensational news from four years ago?” Customer B looked around at the surrounding and said secretively. ”Regarding two of Chu Lui's women?”

Customer A asked, ”You mean Xia Ruoxin and Li Manni?”

”Yup.” Customer B nodded and lowered his voice.

”The newspaper reported that Li Manni's car accident was caused by Xia Ruoxin, but that wasn't it. I was right there at the scene and saw it with my own eyes. It was the exact opposite.”

When he said this, he did not know that the woman near them had blanched immediately, her face a deathly white. Chu Lui put down his cutlery, his face dark and stoic. Even Du Jingtang let go of the fork and knife in his hands, evidently unable to stomach another bite. Should he continue eating, he feared he might choke to his death if they say something again.

What happened four years ago was something they did not know and had neglected to know.

”So, so, what did you see?” Customer A got impatient and started to press for answers.

”Patience. I'll say it.” Customer B's still talked extremely slowly as if trying to keep his friend in suspense.

”Four years ago, the two women met; but Xia Ruoxin wasn't like what the news had reported. She was surprisingly calm, but Li Manni, however, was unexpectedly agitated… maybe because she was the mistress, and it caused her such emotional turmoil. At that time, a car was heading towards them. Xia Ruoxin wanted to save Li Manni, but guess what…”

He said with disdain. ”Someone tried to save her out of kindness, but she pulled Xia Ruoxin in front of herself, sending her to her death instead. Isn't she selfish? Then again, the car still hit her in the end anyway. It must be karma.

”I still don't believe that a woman who would instinctively save even the mistress of her husband would be as promiscuous as what the news reported. And a mistress who intrudes in others' marriage is said to be kind? I wouldn't believe even if it did turn out to be so.”

They continued speaking, but the people at another table fell into a scary silence.

”Excuse me, I'll shift to another table. Enjoy your meal.” Du Jingtang took his plate up hurriedly and ran to another table. The further he got away from them, the better. He really felt like he would not be able to eat sitting together with that kind of woman.
