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

Shenghong Technology.

The coffee shop across the street.

Lu Shuyao sat by the window, turning her head to look at the office building on the other side of the road.

Not a moment later.

A woman in a professional suit and skirt, walking with a graceful sway, walked out of the building.

Lu Shuyao's gloomy gaze followed the woman until she crossed the street and approached the coffee shop.

Yesterday, Lu Shuyao received evidence from her sister that Li Haokai had transferred assets.

She never imagined that the man she had once blinded herself to be was not only a scumbag but also a ruthless one!

It turns out that lovers who are in love can really turn into enemies who hate each other.

She even doubted whether he had ever truly loved her from beginning to end.

However, at this point, thinking about all this is pointless.

She didn't care anymore.

Seeing the woman push the door open and enter, Lu Shuyao stared at her coldly, slowly stirring the coffee in her cup.

That person was Lin Xiaoshan.

Lu Shuyao specifically took time out of her lunch break to take a taxi from the company and arrange to meet the person.

Lin Xiaoshan approached, placed the limited-edition bag she was carrying on the table, and then sat down opposite Lu Shuyao.

"You're pretty impressive, managing to get my contact information." Lin Xiaoshan's tone was full of sarcasm.

Lu Shuyao didn't respond, but coldly said, "I don't know your taste, just order whatever you want to drink."

Lin Xiaoshan crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair. "Haokai and I come to this coffee shop every day, so one more cup won't make a difference. Just say what you need to say; I'm short on time."

Since Lu Shuyao was able to ask her out, she must know about her relationship with Li Haokai, so she no longer needed to hide it.

Lu Shuyao sneered, "Are you sure you don't want a cup? What if I can't help but throw coffee at you later? You won't even have a chance to fight back."

"you……"

Lin Xiaoshan still crossed her arms and glared angrily at Lu Shuyao across from her. "I haven't settled the score with you for what happened at the last party, and you still dare to be so arrogant."

Lu Shuyao picked up her coffee and slowly took a sip. "When it comes to arrogance, I can't compare to you."

"Heh." Lin Xiaoshan scoffed coldly.

"If you come here to argue with me today, I'm sorry, I won't play along. You'd be better off thinking about how to win back a man's heart."

"I'm certainly not as good as you at seducing men, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here today."

Lu Shuyao stared directly at the woman opposite her. "If I wanted to argue with you, wouldn't it be better to just go to your company and argue? Why would I need to ask you to come here alone?"

"What do you want?"

Lin Xiaoshan maintained her arrogant attitude.

In her eyes, Lu Shuyao's invitation to her today and the things she said were acts of incompetence.

If you can't keep your own husband in check, can you blame anyone else?

That's just how the world works; whoever has the ability gets what they want. The law of survival of the fittest will never be outdated.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoshan never felt that she had done anything wrong.

On the contrary, in her eyes, Lu Shuyao was a failure who couldn't keep her family or her man.

As the old saying goes, flies don't land on eggs without cracks.

It may be harsh to hear, but that's the truth.

If Lu Shuyao can maintain a stable relationship with her husband, then even if she wants to sabotage it, it won't work.

“I don’t want anything in particular. I’m just here today to remind you that if he can treat me like this now, he can treat you the same way in the future. Don’t think you’ll be an exception. In the mind of a man like him, there are no exceptions.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoshan laughed, "Should I call you stupid or hypocritical? I stole your husband, and you're still kind enough to remind me? Haha, a loser is a loser, even their last struggle is so laughable."

"Don't worry, if I have the ability to get him, I have the ability to hold onto him tightly. After all, I am not you, and I will never repeat your mistakes."

Lu Shuyao looked at the woman in front of her with cold disdain, and suddenly felt that she was pitiful and pathetic.

What kind of upbringing shaped her current values?

"Since you're so confident, there's no point in me saying more. As a fellow woman, I'm just offering this friendly reminder in the hopes that you won't be proven wrong in the future."

Lin Xiaoshan scoffed, "You say that, but you're probably hoping I'll be embarrassed. But you might be disappointed. I'll let you see for yourself that Li Haokai will divorce you and then marry me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shuyao picked up her coffee, drank it quietly, and said nothing more.

Honestly, she genuinely hoped that Lin Xiaoshan wouldn't be proven wrong.

It's not that I'm wishing that woman happiness.

She wasn't that selfless or that generous.

Instead, she felt that only in this way could her fiery pit have a successor.

Putting aside everything else, just take her domineering mother-in-law, who thrives on chaos.

Who knows what kind of "sparks" will fly when these two collide?

Lu Shuyao was a little curious and quite eager to see what would happen.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Lin Xiaoshan asked.

"Since you've already said that much, what else can I say? Could it be that your talk about marrying Li Haokai was just a provocative remark?"

"I'm not that bored. Sorry for dashing your last hope."

After Lin Xiaoshan finished speaking, she picked up her bag from the table. "Since we have nothing more to say to each other, there's no need for me to waste my time here."

She then got up, swaying her body as she walked towards the door.

Lu Shuyao sipped her coffee and watched the woman walk out the door.

Knowing that the woman was aiming to marry Li Haokai, she felt at ease.

It was worth the trip she made today...

Actually, for Lin Xiaoshan, she initially got together with Li Haokai just to have some fun. After all, why not have someone willing to spend money on her every day?

What's more, that person was her boss, so she could skip over the setbacks she should have experienced when she first entered the workforce.

But when she heard that Li Haokai was very likely to be promoted to general manager, her thoughts changed.

Why not bring underground activities to the surface? That way, you don't have to be sneaky, and you can secure a long-term livelihood.

……

After finishing her coffee alone, Lu Shuyao got up and left.

She had just stepped out of the coffee shop when her phone rang.

He took it out and saw it was Li Haokai's phone number.

"Ha, that woman was quick to tattle."

Upon seeing the incoming call, Lu Shuyao immediately raised her hand and taped "reject."

Not a moment later.

A few more WeChat messages arrived.

"Lu Shuyao, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"Why are you asking my colleague about our business? And why did you come all the way to my company?"

"Let me tell you, if you continue to act so unreasonably and make a mess of things, don't blame me for disregarding our marital relationship."

After reading it, Lu Shuyao scoffed, locked her phone, and put it in her pocket.

The feeling of not answering the phone or replying to text messages is just so satisfying.

As long as you don't care, no one can hurt you.

Thinking of her past despair and helplessness, and how she had been treated this way countless times, Lu Shuyao felt a pang of sorrow for a moment.

But thankfully, it's all in the past now.

Thinking about it carefully, the man did do some good things for her, at least in the year of their marriage, he made her as resilient as a weed.

Perhaps, this is the price of growing up...
