Xia Mingwei looked at the cappuccino that was served and took a small sip.

She put down her coffee and then said to Lu Ming, "You've come to me so 'humbly' today, so just say what you want! I don't want to waste time listening to nonsense!"

"Besides..."

Seeing that Xia Mingwei had only said half of what she wanted to say, Lu Ming hurriedly asked, "Besides what?"

Xia Mingwei paused deliberately, brushed a stray hair behind her ear, and then continued, "Besides, I've already received fifty million from Miss Li and promised her to leave you! I can't be a person who goes back on their word!"

Hearing this, Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. It's just money, right? He, Lu Ming, have plenty of money. As long as Xia Mingwei can come back to him, a mere fifty million is nothing! He can afford it!

"Weiwei, if that's the case, then I'll give you 60 million, and you'll come back to my side!"

"A promise is no proof, give it to me first and we'll talk later!"

Seeing Xia Mingwei's insistence on getting money first, Lu Ming could only shake his head helplessly.

He stood up and dialed his assistant's number. "Arrange for someone to transfer 60 million to Miss Xia's account right now!"

"Remember to note that it's a free gift!" Xia Mingwei added from the side.

Her subordinates acted quickly, and fifteen minutes later, Xia Mingwei received a text message confirming a transfer of 60 million yuan.

Xia Ming smiled with satisfaction upon seeing this message.

Xiao Ba: You took his money? Are you really going to break the contract and get back together with him?

Xia Mingwei: Only children make choices. I want both Li Nianyun's and Lu Ming's money! I can't go back on my promise to Li Nianyun! As for Lu Ming's money, consider it compensation for the original owner's lost youth!

Seeing that Xia Mingwei had accepted the money, Lu Ming felt that the matter was more than half done.

He was in a great mood at this moment, so he spoke again.

"Weiwei, I've thought about this a lot these past few days, but I just can't understand why you insist on breaking up with me!"

Xia Ming's smile vanished, replaced by a cold sneer. "Can't figure it out? Lu Ming, are you really stupid, or are you just pretending?"

Lu Ming still looked like he couldn't understand human language. "But weren't we very happy before?"

"Happy? I'm afraid you're the only one who's happy!"

"You used me as a substitute, demanding that I be just like Li Nianyun in every way! And you let your friends make a fool of me, enjoying seeing me suffer!"

"I don't…"

When Lu Ming said this, he avoided looking Xia Mingwei in the eye, and a closer look revealed his lack of confidence. Clearly, he was guilty!

"Lu Ming, without your authorization, would your group of friends dare to treat me like this? They call themselves your friends, but aren't they all your lackeys? If it weren't for your tacit approval, how could they be so bold!"

Xia Mingwei's words were undeniably bold, directly tearing away Lu Ming's hypocritical facade.

But how could he, who had always held the upper hand in the relationship, easily admit defeat? He brazenly said, "Even if I had problems, that's all in the past! I've already apologized to you, what more do you want from me?"

See? This is the trick that scumbags always use! They never reflect on their own problems; they just want to pin the blame on others!

When faced with such a situation, all you need to do is stay calm and do something even more infuriating than him!

Xia Mingwei shrugged nonchalantly, as if she wasn't the one who had just been talking.

"I didn't mean anything by it! I just simply don't want to be with you anymore!"

"That won't do. Apart from this requirement, everything else is negotiable!"

Without a second thought, Lu Ming rejected Xia Mingwei's idea.

"Lu Ming, even if we're married, both parties have the right to divorce. Besides, in your mind, our relationship probably doesn't even qualify as boyfriend and girlfriend. What right do you have to say 'no'?"

"Besides, your white moonlight, Li Nianyun, has already returned to the country. Doesn't my substitute mean nothing to you? Why don't you pursue Li Nianyun instead of constantly clinging to me?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming was momentarily at a loss for words to answer Xia Mingwei's question. Rationally, he felt that Xia Mingwei's words made a lot of sense, but emotionally, he didn't want to let Xia Mingwei leave like this. He felt as if he would lose something important if he let go so easily.

In the end, Lu Ming could only stubbornly say, "Nianyun is Nianyun, and you are you! You two are different! I won't force you to do things you don't like anymore, Weiwei, please don't leave me."

Xia Mingwei was almost laughing in anger at Lu Ming's shameless words. "If I don't leave you, then what? Be the one who interferes in your relationship with Li Nianyun! Or even be your mistress after marriage? At this point, you don't still dream of having the best of both worlds, do you? Do you really think that Li Nianyun and I can be your 'Empresses in Heaven' and 'Her Majesty', living together peacefully and serving you, the young master?"

Lu Ming remained silent for a while, which to some extent meant that he indirectly agreed with Xia Mingwei's statement.

He spoke again, saying, "Weiwei, aside from the status of Mrs. Lu, I can provide you with all other material things! You know your status is too low; you can't be seen in the light of day!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Mingwei could no longer contain her anger and slapped Lu Ming across the face.

The slap was extremely forceful, and soon five clear finger marks appeared on Lu Ming's face.

After slapping Lu Ming to the ground, Xia Mingwei still felt it wasn't enough to vent her anger, and she cursed at him directly.

"I'm not some rat in the gutter, what's there to hide! Low status? I think your whole family is low! What's my status, and what's yours? The Qing Dynasty has been gone for hundreds of years, we're all law-abiding citizens, why are you giving me this high and low stuff! A few peanuts and you're already this drunk! You think you're so great, you're really getting cocky! I didn't make myself clear to you, I wanted to save you face, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless!"

Xia Mingwei launched into a tirade, while Lu Ming, clutching his burning face, dared not utter another word. He was terrified that Xia Mingwei might slap him again if she became unhappy!

At this moment, he regretted it! Xia Mingwei had changed. Under various stimuli, she was no longer the gentle and obedient Xia Mingwei!

Now transformed into a "fiery woman," she is no longer understanding or accommodating; she only resorts to violence at the slightest disagreement!

He shouldn't have tried to change her or beg her to return to her original state; he should have let her go sooner!

Not only did he fail to achieve his goal by talking to Xia Mingwei this time, he also wasted money and got slapped!

This is definitely paying money to suffer!
