Chapter 580: The Present Me Is Out of Your Reach

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong at Me, Jiang Muye

Boss Cutie

There was no way around making such a small sacrifice. Jiang Muye would just have to suffer the indignity.

Jiang Muye looked at Mother Jiang, who was especially stern and serious, and sighed. It seemed she wasn't going to change her mind.

There was nothing to be done about it. Jiang Muye could only move to the room next door.

Leng Ruoli stood at the doorway, reluctant to part.

Seeing this, Jiang Muye said, "Hurry up and go to sleep. It's so cold out here."

"Is the blanket thick enough? Will it be too cold? A buckwheat pillow might be better. You're not used to this height, are you?" Leng Ruoli said worriedly.

Hearing this, Jiang Muye reached out and pinched her plump little face, smiling as he replied, "Alright, I can get used to all of it. Be a good girl."

Faced with Jiang Muye's doting gesture, Leng Ruoli secretly blushed.

Mother Jiang also reminded her, "Alright, go back and sleep. Don't catch a cold."

"Okay." There was nothing Leng Ruoli could do. She could only part ways with Jiang Muye.

Jiang Muye was reluctant to let her go. Sigh, tonight I can only sleep in a cold bed.

Suddenly, he felt listless for the whole day.

——

The night was quite deep.

A sedan pulled up in front of a certain villa.

"Alright, we're here," Xiang Shan said coolly.

Father Leng nodded and instinctively moved to get out.

But then he found Xiang Shan's graceful figure leaning over toward him.

Her gaze was fixed intently on Father Leng.

"Aren't you going to invite me up to sit for a while?" Xiang Shan paused. "I've already come all this way."

There was a certain hint in her eyes, and her finger even lightly brushed over the button in Father Leng's hand.

She had assumed Father Leng would be very warm toward her, but who would have thought he would push her hand away.

"No, it's not very convenient."

Father Leng's words were still quite unexpected to Xiang Shan.

Xiang Shan replied, "Why isn't it convenient? Don't tell me you've got a beauty hidden away."

Xiang Shan had only meant it as a joke, but who would have thought Father Leng would answer bluntly, "That's right. I am indeed seeing someone."

Xiang Shan trembled.

She noticed that Father Leng's face carried a serious expression.

It was obvious he wasn't joking.

"You… you're lying to me, right?" Xiang Shan smiled.

"No, I have a girlfriend," Father Leng said seriously, gazing at Xiang Shan.

Xiang Shan's brows knitted tightly, and she wore a mysterious smile. "So fast? We've only just divorced. Don't tell me you moved on seamlessly. Then how could you face me!"

Faced with Xiang Shan's questioning, Father Leng responded matter-of-factly, "It's you who let me down, Xiang Shan. I've been completely worthy of you, and I have a clear conscience."

"How long have I waited for you? It's you who never once looked back at me. How many men have you found over the years? And me? I only had you. On what basis is it that when I find someone it's letting you down, but when you find someone it's excusable?"

After hearing Father Leng's words, Xiang Shan was suddenly rendered speechless.

That was right.

She and Leng Qihua had been married in name only all these years, with no real marriage between them.

They were completely an empty-shell couple.

She had even wanted a divorce, and had found quite a few male companions.

A woman like that—on what basis did she have the right to question him?

"I'm too tired. Really, very tired." Leng Qihua gazed at Xiang Shan. "When I said I wouldn't wait for you, I truly meant I didn't want to wait for you anymore. I want to start a new life. I don't want to keep marking time."

"She's a woman I met after the divorce. Although my feelings for her aren't as deep as what I felt for you, marriage was never something sustained by love in the first place. Rather than finding someone I love, it's better to find someone who loves me. At least I can feel at ease."

Xiang Shan's eyes were already brimming with tears.

Every word of his pierced her heart.

When she turned and walked toward him, it turned out he already had another woman.

Father Leng sensed the low-pressure atmosphere in the car. He let out a long, deep sigh, then instinctively pushed the door open and got out.

Sitting in the car, Xiang Shan suddenly saw a gentle, graceful woman run out from the house.

The other woman wasn't as pretty as her, and her figure wasn't as good either.

But she looked like a tender and considerate woman.

"Look, your collar isn't even folded properly. Here, let me help you." She smiled and helped Father Leng straighten his collar.

Father Leng didn't resist.

This scene made Xiang Shan's heart ache even more.

Xiang Shan felt that the man and woman before her looked like a real married couple.

In the past, she too could have had such a simple life, but she didn't know at what point in time all of it had completely vanished.

Xiang Shan's eyes gradually reddened.

She was miserable, and she was full of regret.

There was no moment that made her feel more wretched.

"She is?" Ye Shuhua had just finished straightening Father Leng's collar when she noticed a tall, beautiful woman getting out of the sedan not far away.

Father Leng turned back and laid eyes on Xiang Shan.

He didn't avoid it. He said to Ye Shuhua, "Xiang Shan, my ex-wife."

Ye Shuhua smiled and understood. She stepped forward and extended her hand, saying to Xiang Shan, "Hello, I'm Ye Shuhua, and I'm Qihua's girlfriend."

"I've heard your name before. You really are much prettier than I imagined. There are no signs of age on your face at all. Unlike me, who's lived a rough life and can only do simple medical aesthetics. I don't like getting plastic surgery either, messing around with my face."

Ye Shuhua's words completely infuriated Xiang Shan.

Wasn't she just implying that Xiang Shan had work done on her face, getting medical aesthetic injections to maintain it?

In fact, the thing Xiang Shan cared about most was precisely this face.

She had indeed spent some acquired means to maintain her beauty.

But the premise was that she was naturally beautiful to begin with.

Xiang Shan had seen plenty of women, and this one was obviously a green tea bitch.

Especially as her ex-husband's woman, she disliked her even more.

Naturally, Xiang Shan wasn't about to let herself be handled so easily. Unwilling to show weakness, she retorted, "Oh, is that so? No wonder you can see the age on yourself right away. You should still take care of your skin when you need to. Not to mention you're dry-skinned, the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes have already come out."

Ye Shuhua trembled.

She had never imagined Xiang Shan would speak so sharply.

Ye Shuhua definitely cared about her face too. After all, women primp for those who appreciate them. Now that Xiang Shan had said such heartless things, her face had nowhere to rest at all.

So much so that she replied somewhat unhappily, "Aging naturally is fine. Better than pretending to be young."

"But old ginger is spicier." Xiang Shan shot back.

Father Leng watched his current and former women insinuate at each other between the lines, and was suddenly at a loss.

As expected, the combat power between women was strong. It flared up the moment they started.

"Alright, it's very late. Be careful on the road," Father Leng said to Xiang Shan.

Who would have thought Xiang Shan would take the initiative to step forward and, in front of Ye Shuhua, take Father Leng's arm. "Our daughter's almost getting engaged. We still need to discuss some details, right? I have a car anyway, I can head back later."

Ye Shuhua's gaze fixed firmly on Xiang Shan's gesture.

She could clearly tell Xiang Shan was provoking her.

She had heard before that Leng Qihua's ex-wife was no easy person to deal with, and now she had truly seen it.

Ye Shuhua instinctively began to act coy. "Woo… Qihua~ it's so late, I'm so sleepy. I need you to coax me to sleep~! Whatever it is, we can talk tomorrow."
