Chapter 67: Go to a Hotel
Chapter 67
"Okay," Li Man responded and quickly walked out.
"It's so late. Where are you going?" Huang De Han asked unhappily.
"I'm really sorry, but I have something to do tonight. Can I borrow your wife for the night? I hope you don't mind," Tan Xi Yuan said to Huang De Han with a playful smile.
As the saying goes, don't bite the hand that feeds you. Tan Xi Yuan spoke to Huang De Han with a smile, and he couldn't get angry at her. Although he was unhappy, he still agreed.
As Li Man passed through the living room, Zhao Liang smiled at her. His smile made her uncomfortable, and she didn't dare to linger. She walked out quickly.
It wasn't until Li Man got into Tan Xi Yuan's car that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's going on?" Tan Xi Yuan asked.
Li Man took out her phone and played the recording of Huang De Han's plan to deceive her.
Tan Xi Yuan listened to the recording and was shocked speechless. After a moment, she recovered from the shock and said, "Oh my God, is he even human? How could he treat you like this?"
Li Man said sadly, "I've been with him for sixteen years, and only now do I see his true colors."
"What are you going to do now? He wants to harm you, and even if you avoid him for a while, you won't be able to avoid him forever." Tan Xi Yuan sighed and advised, "Why not divorce him? His actions are obviously meant to leave you with nothing. I'm really worried that if his plan fails, he'll become desperate and try to harm you."
"I can't just let him go. I can't accept it!" Li Man's eyes reddened with anger. "I can't just let him go like this. I really can't accept it!"
"But he wants to harm you now. Even if you can't accept it, what good does it do? Nothing is more important than your life."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful," Li Man reassured her.
Seeing that Li Man wouldn't listen to reason, Tan Xi Yuan sighed and said, "Then you have to be careful. If there's anything I can help with, just let me know."
"I will."
Li Man didn't want to continue the topic, so she changed the subject and asked, "Have you talked to Lu Feng yet?"
"No," Tan Xi Yuan replied.
Tan Xi Yuan had intended to have a talk with Lu Feng, but after spending the night with him, she realized that she couldn't live without him. The thought of leaving him tore her apart and caused her unbearable pain.
Right now, she was like an ostrich, hiding from things she didn't want to face. As long as Lu Feng didn't bring up divorce, she wouldn't take the initiative to bring it up.
Let's just continue like this.
That's how Tan Xi Yuan comforted herself.
When Li Man saw that Tan Xi Yuan didn't say much, she didn't ask further. "Take me to a hotel. I won't be going back tonight."
Tan Xi Yuan took Li Man to a luxurious-looking hotel. Li Man saw how expensive it was and quickly said, "This place is too expensive. Let's go to a smaller hotel instead."
"Let's stay here. Motels are so dirty. Don't worry, I'll treat you. Don't worry about the money," Tan Xi Yuan disregarded Li Man's objections, parked the car, and got out.
Li Man quickly followed and caught up with Tan Xi Yuan. "What's the meaning of this? How can I let you pay for me?"
Tan Xi Yuan glanced at Li Man and said, "It's already late. Why are you still being polite to me? Just think of it as me lending it to you. When you have money, you can pay me back, alright?"
Li Man was deeply moved in her heart and no longer refused Tan Xi Yuan's help. That's what friends are for, to lend a helping hand when you're facing difficulties.
If she were to decline again, it would lose its meaning. She would remember her friend's kindness and repay them when the opportunity arises.
