My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 486: the older the ginger, the spicier it is

“For all these years, you’re not the first woman for Zhexi, or the first one he planned to bring home.” Mingzhu said, putting the money back into her bag, “But Miss Bai, you are the first woman to have such lofty ambitions.”

Bai Ruwei felt a jump in her heart, “Mrs Huo, you really misunderstand…”

“Ambition is not a bad thing. From your background, you’ve been through hardships for so long, wanting to climb higher, aren’t satisfied with your current situation, it is human nature, understandable. But some harsh words, I must say beforehand.” Mingzhu played with the jade bracelet on her wrist, her red lips lightly sneered, every word clear, “Ambition used in the wrong place, I’m afraid you will end up losing both your money and your person, and your tactics will be in vain, leaving you with nothing.”

“Mrs Huo, I really like Zhexi!”

Bai Ruwei’s voice suddenly raised, tears swirling in her eyes, “I know, I come from a rural area. All of you look down on me and think that I want to transform from a sparrow into a phoenix.

But I have always been one of the top students in my school. I worked hard to get into college. The tuition and living expenses for the past two years were all earned by me working part-time, cent by cent.

I never thought about taking shortcuts to success. I never took any shortcuts. Each step was made by stepping on solid ground. If you don’t believe me, you can investigate.

I like Zhexi because when I was working as a waitress in a club, everyone looked down on me and thought I was just a waitress. So if I did something wrong, their first reaction was to scold or hit me, even humiliate me. Zhexi didn’t do that.

I didn’t even know he was the third son of the Huo family. I just thought he was a very nice person. He was also my first man.”

She couldn’t hold back her tears, “Yes, I know you think Zhexi doesn’t measure up to the other two children of the Huo family. Therefore, my infatuation with him must have ulterior motives. But I don’t have any!

He is the first man who has been so kind to me. He doesn’t look down on me because of my family background or profession. He is simple-minded, and although he is immature now, doesn’t that mean you even don’t trust your own son?

I believe that as long as we give him time, he will definitely not be inferior to his two brothers.”

After hearing these words, Mingzhu’s expression still didn’t change much, “If that’s the case, I don’t think there is anything we can talk about.”

At her signal, the driver got out of the car and came over to open the door.

A cold wind rushed in from the outside. Bai Ruwei only felt a bone-chilling cold on the back of her neck, and she shuddered a bit.

She looked at the glamorous lady in front of her and said sincerely, “Mrs Huo, I didn’t mean to offend you. I just think that Zhexi is not as bad as you think. He is just…”

“Miss Bai, please get off the car.” Mingzhu finally couldn’t help but gesture.

Clearly not wanting to talk any more.

Bai Ruwei bit her lip.

This was her first meeting with Huo family. She knows that it’s not good to make a big fuss. After all, this is only the beginning.

After taking a deep breath, she got out of the car. Standing there watching the Rolls-Royce slowly driving away, her hands gradually tightened into fists.

**

In the restaurant.

The dishes have already been served, and Su Wanwan is sitting there without touching her chopsticks.

She didn’t know how long the two would talk, or whether Mingzhu would come to eat later. If she came over for a meal, it wouldn’t be nice for her, as a junior, to start eating first.

Suddenly, her phone rang. Picking it up, it was Mingzhu calling.

Su Wanwan hurriedly answered, “Aunt.”

Mingzhu’s voice didn’t change, still crisp and clear.

She asked, “Wanwan, are you close with this Bai Ruwei?”

Su Wanwan carefully replied, “We are from the same school. In the past, she also helped out at the Su’s house. She helped me then.”

“Oh, I see.” Mingzhu laughed lightly, “this Miss Bai is quite calculating and ambitious. Wanwan, you better be careful. It’s best not to get too close to her.”

Su Wanwan frowned, “So, she and Zhexi’s matter…”

“I definitely won’t agree.” Mingzhu spoke very straightforwardly and didn’t seem interested in discussing it further. “Wanwan, I have things to do today. Let’s do this another time. I’ll find another opportunity to take you out to dinner.”

Su Wanwan actually quite liked her aunt, mainly because when Su Yanyan had falsely accused her of being pregnant last time, Mingzhu had robustly defended her against the old master of Xing family and had stood by her.

Although it was largely for the sake of Huo Jingshen, the fact that she could do so showed that Mingzhu was straightforward, had a strong sense of loyalty and was very defensive.

Moreover, she was also the aunt of Ming Jing and the aunt of Ye Qitian… there was always a sense of familiarity there.

So, she readily agreed, “Okay, Aunt, you go ahead.”

“Okay, I’ll hang up first.”

After she hung up, Bai Ruwei came back shortly after.

Her eyes were red and swollen and there were still tear tracks on her face. She had obviously been crying.

Clearly, her talk with Mingzhu had not gone well.

When she sat down, Su Wanwan picked up her chopsticks to eat shamelessly, asking her casually, “You said you had something to discuss with me. What is it?”

Bai Ruwei looked at her, “I’m sorry, Wanwan. Actually, I purposely asked you to come eat with us.”

“…” Su Wanwan did not expect her to admit it so directly.

It felt like being punched into a cotton swab.

“Zhexi told me last night that he would take me to meet his parents, and that he had already informed the Huo Family. I thought then, if it was like it is in novels, his parents would definitely come to see me beforehand. So, when I saw you this morning, I thought to ask you to have breakfast together, and I was surprised that I was correct,”

She lowered her head, softly sobbing, “But then, everything got messed up. Wanwan, I’m sorry. Can you forgive me? I didn’t mean to use you.”

Her tears seemed genuinely heartfelt, and Su Wanwan could only say, “You’re overthinking it. You are in a relationship with Zhexi and want to marry him, that’s your business. If you want to gain his parents’ approval, it’s up to your own efforts.

I am just an outsider after all. Even if I say a few good words for you, or make them think that you are my friend, do you think it would make much of a difference?

More so, do you think the Huo Family are so easy to manipulate as you imagine? Maybe it will only leave a worse impression of you.”

Mingzhu saw through Bai Ruwei’s intention at a glance earlier.

Experience is the best teacher.

Zhexi is so profligate, spending all day in lavish debauchery, causing troubles wherever he goes. Perhaps, given the years, this wasn’t the first time Mingzhu encountered such an issue.

As expected, Bai Ruwei said, “Earlier, Mrs. Huo gave me 5 million Yuan to leave Zhexi.”

“Did you take it?” Su Wanwan asked.

Bai Ruwei shook her head, “No.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

What the hell, she isn’t taking 5 million Yuan?

Does Bai Ruwei truly like Zhexi that much?

“If it were for the money, I could have already found a man and become a gold-digger. Why would I need to work so hard for so many years to earn a living? When others are partying and finding boyfriends, I was washing dishes in the back kitchen of the restaurant, mopping, and cleaning tables… I am not a vain woman, why did she insult me with money?” As she spoke, Bai Ruwei started crying again—the tears falling like a waterfall and making her unable to speak properly.

Su Wanwan did not know what to say anymore.

**

After finally finishing lunch, Bai Ruwei left for work. Su Wanwan returned to her dorm building and checked the time before she sent a message to Mo Weiyi.

[When are you coming over? Do you want to go the library this afternoon?]

Mo Weiyi replied immediately: [I am already here.]

When she got upstairs, Su Wanwan knocked on the door of the dorm room next door.

The door opened. Mo Weiyi, with an awkward expression on his face, looked at her, “Baby Wanwan, did you call me last night?”

“Yeah, and I even insulted the boss, Xiao, calling him a scumbag. He heard it all!” Su Wanwan said, with a strained smile.

Mo Weiyi quickly grabbed her hand and began to act cute, “I’m sorry, I was drunk last night. I didn’t know anything.”

“You were drunk? And then what?”

“Then he took me home.”

Su Wanwan: “And you two had a roll in the hay?”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

Su Wanwan rolled her eyes, “So, did you guys make up?”

“No!”

Su Wanwan was surprised, “What happened then?”

“In any case, I will not meet him before the exams!” Otherwise, the result of each meeting would be ending up in bed together.

Su Wanwan nodded, “I will wait and see.”

“I am being serious this time. Baby Wanwan, you have to trust me!” Mo Weiyi’s face was serious as if he was about to make an oath.

“Whatever.” Su Wanwan turned around. “Do you also want to go to the library?”

“Yes, I need to study diligently and improve myself daily.”

Su Wanwan chuckled.

We shall wait and see.
