Xiao Yaojing brought Ye Yuwei into her house. With reluctance, she supported Ye Yuwei and sat her down on the couch. She then went into the kitchen and brought a cup of hot brown sugar water and placed it in front of Ye Yuwei.
“Why? Did you finally get dumped?” Xiao Yaojing asked Ye Yuwei sarcastically.
Ye Yuwei chuckled, while holding onto the slightly hot cup with her shaky hands. Xiao Yaojing was the only person in the world who could use the harshest sarcasm and yet, Ye Yuwei understood that she was expressing her concern for her.
“I am going to divorce Gu Juexi soon,” Ye Yuwei said softly. “You were right. He doesn’t like me. Even if I were to stay by his side silently, he would still find me annoying. I should not have sought a love that does not belong to me. I have learnt my lesson and I have decided that I want a divorce.”
“Oh! It is really rare that you would think I am right.” Xiao Yaojing kicked off her slippers and sat down on the single couch. “You took on jobs and even sold your blood just to attend his speech last time. So why are you selling your blood again this time? Is Mrs. Gu short on money?”
Xiao Yaojing did not hold back her thoughts and spoke directly.
Ye Yuwei shook her head slightly and started telling her story.
“Oh my G.o.d! Is he even a man?” Xiao Yaojing was filled with rage and kicked the small stool that was by her feet after listening to Ye Yuwei’s story. “You must have been blind to have fallen for this kind of man!”
Ye Yuwei bowed her head as she was reprimanded by Xiao Yaojing. However, she felt that this was one of the happiest moments throughout the three years of marriage with Gu Juexi. At least, she was willing to be reprimanded.
With the cup in her hand, Ye Yuwei saw the newspaper on the table. Some of the recruitment advertis.e.m.e.nts had been marked with a red pen. Ye Yuwei paused for a moment before picking up the newspaper, asking, “Are you looking for a job?”
Ye Yuwei suddenly realized that she had been careless in not realizing it earlier. It was not the weekend, so why was Xiao Yaojing home in the afternoon?
After a pause, Xiao Yaojing took the newspaper and threw it aside. She said, “I didn’t like the job and so I resigned. What’s so surprising about that?”
