Xie Meilan felt somewhat defeated. She originally thought Shen Lei was a complete loser, someone nobody valued except for herself. She never expected that the pure and sweet Li Xiaoyue would love Shen Lei so much.
What exactly is so good about Shen Lei that makes Li Xiaoyue betray a programmer with a million-dollar salary?
Now, Xie Meilan couldn't help but take a closer look at Shen Lei and was shocked to find that he was wearing a full outfit of designer brands, looking refined and handsome, strikingly extraordinary.
Then she glanced at the top-of-the-line Mercedes SUV behind him, the Mercedes G-Class, which was worth several million, even more expensive than her boss's Land Rover.
When Shen Lei was with her, he was all dirty and disheveled, riding an electric scooter. How could he be so radiant now, driving a Mercedes G-Class after they decided to divorce?
Xie Meilan felt extremely unbalanced. She initially thought she was the one who disliked Shen Lei and wanted to divorce him, only to find out that Shen Lei had long since found a new love, someone younger, purer, and more beautiful. In the end, she was the one who got cheated on.
Xie Meilan's face darkened as she gritted her teeth and glared at Shen Lei, "Shen Lei, do you even deserve me?"
Before Shen Lei could respond, Li Xiaoyue sneered first, "What has he done to wrong you?"
“For all these years of marriage, hasn't he been trying every day to cook delicious meals for you and take care of you?”
“Your mother had cancer, and he was the one who took care of her with utmost dedication, spending all his savings, not even willing to buy himself decent clothes.”
“And in the end, you were the one who cheated.”
“Who exactly has wronged whom?”
“I never expected you to have the face to say such things…”
Xie Meilan was momentarily speechless from Li Xiaoyue's barrage of accusations.
Indeed, over the years, Shen Lei really hadn't wronged her; he seemed to have been exceedingly kind to her!
However, Xie Meilan was unwilling to admit this, because if she did, she would truly become the gold-digging woman who was criticized for being materialistic.
Xie Meilan, just like that day when she faced Shen Lei's sister Shen Lin, argued back fiercely, "It's Shen Lei who refused to spend money on better targeted drugs and didn't seek connections for a transfer to a better hospital, which led to my mother's death!"
“I will never forget this…”
Li Xiaoyue had already clarified this matter with Shen Lei while drinking the night before.
Now, as an outsider, Li Xiaoyue saw through it all and coldly said, “Your mother was already in the late stages of lung cancer. Even if you sought connections for a transfer, even if you bought the latest targeted drugs, how much longer could she have lived?”
“You are her daughter; these things should have been handled by you.”
“You are incompetent and unable to do it, yet you blame Shen Lei.”
“As a son-in-law, Shen Lei has exhausted all his savings and is in debt, yet he has been incredibly dedicated. What more do you want from him?”
“You treat him like a murderer of your mother, and your distortion of the truth is utterly shameless!”
Xie Meilan lost her rationality and continued to make unreasonable accusations, “I know that even if we transferred her, even if we used targeted drugs, it wouldn't save her.”
“But I just can't accept his cold indifference and lack of action.”
“My mother was suffering in bed, yet Shen Lei showed no concern. He was insincere and selfish…”
Li Xiaoyue coldly laughed and disdainfully said, “Xie Meilan, Shen Lei has already spent all his savings, is deeply in debt, and has personally cooked and delivered meals, accompanying her with care.”
“Yet you, who only occasionally visit the hospital, attending various investment activities in your glamorous attire, what right do you have to say he is insincere and selfish?”
“Your overwhelming grief after your mother's death only proves that during her hospitalization, you never took proper care of her.”
“If you had been there every day, you would understand how painful it is for someone with cancer.”
“At that time, your mother's greatest wish was to leave this world sooner, not to linger on.”
“This is precisely because you weren't there every day that you couldn't comprehend your mother's wishes.”
“After your mother passed away, you pretended to be a dutiful daughter and shifted the blame onto Shen Lei.”
“I believe that even in spirit, your mother would never blame Shen Lei!”
“You, who pretend to be a filial daughter every day, are truly ridiculous; it's simply a farce of filial piety…”
Xie Meilan was left speechless by Li Xiaoyue's relentless attacks, nearly having a heart attack from anger.
“Ding dong! 888 points of resentment from Xie Meilan!”
“Ding dong! 999 points of resentment from Xie Meilan!”
……
Xie Meilan's resentment surged, suddenly increasing by several thousand!
Shen Lei was overjoyed, not expecting that he could collect resentment without causing it himself.
The system prompted Shen Lei: “Master, as long as someone close to you has a conflict with someone else connected to you, the resulting resentment can be collected by this system.”
Xie Meilan saw that Li Xiaoyue was sharp-tongued and difficult to deal with, so she turned her attention to the usually quiet and inarticulate Shen Lei: “Shen Lei, I never expected you to be this kind of person, even trying to steal your brother-in-law's girlfriend, and you dare to cheat while married.”
“This shows that you never truly cared for my mother; you were probably only focused on your affair.”
“You are so shameful; I really misjudged you…”
Shen Lei shook his head and sneered, “Xie Meilan, it's a shame you graduated from a top university and have been an investment banking manager for so many years, yet your brain is still so small and your IQ so low, severely lacking.”
“Just think with your toes, and you would understand that Li Xiaoyue just said that to provoke you.”
“In fact, my relationship with Li Xiaoyue is just like yours with your boss.”
“You can't even see this clearly; you must be blind, no wonder you fell for that old loser of a boss…”
After being confronted by Shen Lei, Xie Meilan suddenly realized that she had indeed been a bit too emotional earlier.
She hadn't even realized that Li Xiaoyue's comment about her and Shen Lei being mutually attracted was meant to provoke and humiliate her.
In the end, she took it seriously and ended up being humiliated by Shen Lei.
Moreover, Shen Lei's final words struck her deeply.
Xie Meilan discovered yesterday that her boss, Lu Jie, had been somewhat cold towards her due to Shen Lei's earlier comments about the haunted house.
So, last night, Xie Meilan decided to put aside her concerns and fully give herself to her boss, Lu Jie.
However, she was very disappointed to find that her boss, Lu Jie, was a complete loser, utterly defeated, in stark contrast to the passionate Shen Lei who had gotten her pregnant.
Xie Meilan felt frantic and devastated, not expecting that the boss she desperately wanted to be with, Lu Jie, was an absolute failure.
“Ding dong! 999 points of resentment from Xie Meilan!”
“Ding dong! 999 points of resentment from Xie Meilan!”
