Chapter 455 - Who Is Crueler? (2/2)

He wouldn't do anything to her. However, if she were to continue appearing around him, then he couldn't guarantee his actions anymore.

Li Manni stood up. In her eyes was the back view of Chu Lui, making her feel very cold and hopeless. She turned around and left. She had lost, or maybe, she could have never won against Chu Lui. He was really capable of making her become the second Xia Ruoxin. As long as he wanted to, he definitely could… even if it was at the cost of his reputation.

He would never allow himself to be threatened.

It's over. She shook her head from time to time, unwilling to believe that she had really lost everything. Just a few days ago, she was still a blissful mother; how did all the misfortune fall onto her now?

What was she going to do?

She squatted down, and the old couple heading towards her also stopped.

”Mom…” She spoke hesitantly, but Song Wan only had a cold expression. ”Don't you dare call me your mother. I don't know someone as evil as you. How daring of you to poison my son, making him like this. Li Manni, you're indeed heartless. Was he not good to you? Whatever you wanted, he gave it to you. Were you still not satisfied?”

Chu Jiang quickly hugged his wife who was on the verge of a breakdown, breathing deeply. ”Let's go, ignore her.”

Song Wan nodded lightly. The current her gained Chu Jiang's strength after being held by him. Without him, she probably would have collapsed already, for she only had one son. That was the only child between her and Chu Jiang. They would never have a grandchild again, never ever.

Li Manni lowered her head, with her tears falling onto the ground. He was good to her, giving her everything… everything but his love. If it wasn't for him thinking about that woman, how would she have done this?

She raised her head, numbly walked forward. This must be the feeling of falling from heaven to hell, she finally understood it. Xia Ruoxin, seeing me reduced to the same state as you, you must be happy. She laughed loudly as if she was mad.

At this time, Xia Ruoxin was doing grocery shopping, placing a bunch of vegetables into her shopping cart. Every now and then, she would look at the shelves, thinking if there was anything else that she could purchase.

”Did you know? That Chu Lui is getting a divorce again.” Someone's loud voice entered her ears. Even if she didn't want to listen, she heard it already. Furthermore, the mention of Chu Lui made her sensitive to the words that followed after.

”Again? Didn't he love his wife a lot? The newspapers always published their photos; weren't they very loving?

”Then, you didn't know, I guess. Chu Lui is actually quite pitiful, come to think of it. His previous divorce was because of his ex-wife having an extra-marital affair that was caught in the middle of the act while his current wife is pregnant with someone else's child, again making him a cuckold. I don't understand, such a young, handsome, and rich man. Why would anyone choose other people over him? If it was me, I would have just stayed right next to him.”

”You? You're already forty, Auntie,” someone commented sarcastically.

”So what if I'm forty? Have you not heard of the saying that a woman blooms at 40? Maybe after getting hurt by all the young ladies, Chu Lui might change his preference to someone older than him like me. It's not impossible. Maybe, he lacks a sense of security?”
