After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

boarding.

After greeting her sister, Lu Shuyao sat in the passenger seat, head down, and remained silent.

Last night, while feeling sorry for the "huge" cost of the dress, she was thinking more about the possible scenes at today's cocktail party.

During her pregnancy, to pass the time, she mostly watched family dramas at home.

She was easily drawn into all sorts of things, like mother-in-law/daughter-in-law problems, mistresses provoking the wife, and the wife beating up the mistress. At the time, due to the influence of pregnancy hormones, she would often get angry and take those situations personally. Fortunately, those were just TV dramas.

But one day, the same thing happened to me.

"Yaoyao, are you planning to confront Li Haokai today?" Lu Shiyi asked with concern as he drove.

The cautious Li Haokai thought he was well covered up until he left home to attend the party.

When Lu Shuyao asked him, he righteously replied that he was working overtime at the company to earn money to support his family.

He was subtly trying to make his wife feel guilty towards him.

Lu Shuyao turned to look at her sister, her face slightly haggard. "Sister, to be honest, I don't know either. When he left this morning, I wanted to expose him, but I held back in the end."

She was also wondering, since she already had plans to divorce, was there any point in making a scene?

At this moment, she admired those strong women who could endure humiliation and hardship, finally crush their cheating scumbag husbands until nothing was left, and then leave gracefully.

Outsiders may only see their outward decisiveness and nonchalance, but now she deeply understands their inner forbearance, struggle and pain.

She hoped she could be like them.

In any situation, there was no hysteria, no crying or fussing.

Even if betrayed, she can still be a dignified woman and not give up on herself because of a scumbag...

"Yaoyao, it's okay if you don't know. We'll see how you feel then. The fault lies with him, not you. Whatever you do is right, and I'll be there to help you."

"Ah."

After giving a resounding "hmm," Lu Shuyao turned to look out the car window.

The originally cloudy weather has, without me noticing, turned into a dense, overcast sky.

The entire city darkened, as if waiting for a torrential downpour to break through the oppressive atmosphere of the dark clouds.

After half an hour.

The two sisters arrived at the South City Hotel.

The two walked hand in hand into the banquet hall.

One is aloof and noble, the other gentle and charming.

It attracted the attention of many men who stopped and stared at it.

While they were stunning, the key point is that it's rare to see two ladies attending a cocktail party together.

Inside the banquet hall, the dazzling crystal chandeliers, the glittering champagne tower, and the groups of elegantly dressed elites made Lu Shuyao, who was new to the workforce, instinctively tighten her grip on her sister's wrist.

She had never been to such an occasion before, and couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.

Feeling her arm being tightly gripped, Lu Shiyi led her younger sister directly to the food exhibition area.

"Our mission today is to eat and drink well, and incidentally punish those scumbags."

As she spoke, she handed her sister a piece of dessert cake.

When a girl is in a bad mood, dessert is the perfect treat.

Lu Shuyao reached out and took it. To be honest, she didn't have much of an appetite in this state of mind, but after a few bites, her tension eased considerably.

"Last time Tangtang and I attended a cocktail party at this hotel, we even ran into some celebrities from Nanshi. The scene was quite something..."

While chatting with her sister, Lu Shiyi glanced at the crowd around her.

really.

A moment later, the target came into her line of sight.

At the same time, Lu Shuyao, who was next to him, also turned her head to look over.

Not far away, a well-dressed man in a suit was being led by the arm by a glamorous woman, talking to someone beside him.

He was extremely pleased with himself.

Lu Shuyao's expression instantly darkened.

This scene was so glaring, and so heartbreaking.

Watching the two of them being so intimate, she clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.

Just as he was about to step forward, Lu Shiyi grabbed his arm.

"Yaoyao, wait a moment."

As Lu Shiyi spoke, he handed his sister a glass of red wine.

"No matter what, we must never lose our elegance. Whether we drink or not is not important; what if it comes in other uses..."

After handing it to his sister, Lu Shiyi also picked up a cup for himself, and then the two of them walked toward the crowd together.

At this moment, Li Haokai, who was exchanging pleasantries with his boss, was unaware that a crisis was approaching.

While exchanging pleasantries, he was also trying his best to introduce his secretary, who was his mistress.

"This is my capable assistant, Lin Xiaoshan. Although she hasn't been working here long, she has outstanding professional skills and a strong learning ability. She is a rare talent with great potential..."

All the praise he lavished on her was simply a way of hoping that when she was promoted to general manager, her secretary could come along with her.

"She was also on our previous project..."

As Li Haokai was speaking, he saw two familiar faces walking towards him, and he was so surprised that he almost lost his tongue.

"Yes, there was one, her..."

He can't even speak coherently anymore.

Lin Xiaoshan, who was holding his arm with a big smile, followed Li Haokai's gaze in confusion and found that he was attracted by two beautiful women.

He couldn't even bring himself to praise her?

Lin Xiaoshan had never met Lu Shuyao.

Based on Li Haokai's usual descriptions, she felt that he despised his wife to the core and posed no threat to her whatsoever.

She naturally didn't need to pay attention to that so-called original wife.

Upon seeing one of the beauties, so stunning that even she, a woman, couldn't take her eyes off her, Lin Xiaoshan felt extremely jealous.

Sure enough, all men are the same; they can't move their legs when they see a beautiful woman.

She took Li Haokai's hand and unconsciously pinched his arm. Just as she used all her strength, she heard Li Haokai say:

"Mr. Zhang, ouch (howling in pain from being pinched), excuse me, I'll be there for a moment."

After saying that, he walked towards the two sisters with a slightly flustered expression.

This party is full of CEOs; if things get out of hand, he'll be finished.

Lin Xiaoshan, who had been holding his arm the whole time, was so angry when she saw this that she pinched Li Haokai's arm again.

"The pinch I just gave you was absolutely justified, and you still dared to go over there!" Lin Xiaoshan thought to herself.

Unconsciously, he used even more force than before, but then he heard Li Haokai say in a low voice, exasperated:

"Stop pinching, it's Lu Shuyao and her sister."

But Lin Xiaoshan had already finished pinching him.

His face twitched from the pain.

"Lu Shuyao?"

Although Lin Xiaoshan had never met Lu Shuyao, she had often heard the name. When Li Haokai mentioned his wife in front of her, he always called her by her full name.

Upon learning the identities of the two beauties, Lin Xiaoshan's jealousy vanished instantly, replaced by smugness.

She tightened her grip on Li Haokai's arm even more intimately, and her face became smug.

So she was that failed woman who couldn't hold onto a man's heart and was despised to the core by her husband...

Soon, the two sides stood facing each other.

Looking at the two who were still arm in arm, Lu Shuyao suppressed her anger and asked, "Li Haokai, didn't you say you were working overtime?"

Li Haokai steadied himself and was about to speak when he heard Lin Xiaoshan say leisurely from the side:

"We are indeed working overtime. You didn't know that socializing is also a form of overtime, did you?"
