she chose to be strong after her rebirth and won everything back
Crying
In her memory, Qu Zhi always dressed like a cleaner. Liang Wen’s business was doing so well, but she still looked so shabby.
She didn’t know anything, and she couldn’t even tell branded clothes. A fashionable lady like Lin He didn’t want to be in the same circle as her.
During the renovation, Qu Zhi would put on some light makeup to make herself look more energetic.
However, she had an excellent foundation, to begin with, and now that she had slimmed down, the lines on her face had become smoother. Even with a bit of lipstick on, she looked much more youthful and lively.
“No, I didn’t,” She looked at Lin He with confidence.
After receiving the Li couple, Qu Zhi was much happier.
That day, Lin He told her a lot of things. She even wanted Qu Zhi to renovate her child’s bedroom. Qu Zhi didn’t reject her and Lin He was so happy that she wanted to ask her out for shopping.
Qu Zhi was also pleased. She was completely different from before. Even the high and mighty Lin He had begun to approach her on her own initiative.
She hummed to Jacky Cheung’s song as she busied herself with lunch. In the pan was Chuchu’s favorite tomato fried egg.
At these times, the tomatoes still had the taste of tomatoes. They were rich and sweet, and were delicious when eaten raw. It was not like the tomatoes in the future, which were wet and not tasty.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Qu Zhi thought that Chuchu must have come back to eat because she was hungry, but she didn’t expect a thin woman to stand at the door.
The woman’s face was pale and her hair was unkempt. She stared at Qu Zhi with a hollow look in her eyes. Qu Zhi could see that her eyes were swollen from crying.
Qu Zhi tried her best to recall who this woman was, but she still couldn’t figure it out.
“Qu Zhi, I’m Xu Jiao. Do you still remember me? I’m Li Gong’s…”
I remember now, Li Gong!
She was the partner of the person who had drugged Liang Wen that night!
His wife was the kind of housewife who didn’t care about anything outside the family matter, just like her.
In the end, Li Gong had been fooling around with other people. Although he had a successful career, he had no principles and gradually drifted away from Liang Wen. Later, Qu Zhi heard that his wife had divorced him when she discovered he had been having an affair and taking drugs.
Of all things to do, why did he have to mess up his own reputation?
“Come, come in and sit.” Qu Zhi’s heart ached as she looked at her.
Although Xu Jiao tried her best to hold back her tears, her tears still fell like rain when she opened her mouth. “Your Liang Wen and Li Gong are good friends… Do you know why he hasn’t come home at night recently? Are they… Working?”
Qu Zhi shook her head. Liang Wen listened to her and never drank with Li Gong again.
“I’ve checked his bank account… More than half of the money was gone… That was the money for us to move back to our hometown…” The woman’s eyes were red, and her hands trembled as she covered her face. “You guys know him more than I do. Does he… Have someone outside?”
“Mrs. Li, I’ll ask Liang Wen when he returns. Don’t be so agitated.” Qu Zhi handed her a handkerchief.
She didn’t know how to comfort Xu Jiao. After all, she felt the same when she took Liang Wen to the doctor.
Worry, fear, and despair.
Xu Jiao took the handkerchief and burst into tears. Perhaps she realized that she had lost her composure.
She thanked her as she staggered out.
Qu Zhi looked at this disheveled woman, feeling a little conflicted.
Should she tell her?
However, it might be safer for Liang Wen to let Xu Jiao handle their family matters on their own. This way, she would be less worried.
That night, when Liang Wen returned, Qu Zhi told him about this matter.
Liang Wen tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded. “She’s just a hostess at the KTV. His wife doesn’t care about him. Li Gong is very free outside.”
Qu Zhi frowned. Li Gong had only been rich for a year or two and already had a mistress.
In fact, was there a wife wouldn’t care about their husband? Perhaps his wife was just too trusting.
The woman named Xu Jiao had a shadow of her past. She was weak, self-abased, and did not dare to take responsibility. She had entrusted everything to others.
Qu Zhi knew that if this continued, deep affection would be unable to keep a man’s nature.
She decided to help this woman, at least to let her see things clearly.
Qu Zhi was indeed quite capable. She and Sister Song had found Li Gong’s lover in just a few days.
When she told Xu Jiao about it, Xu Jiao actually smiled in relief. Other than thanking her, she said nothing else.
The next day, Xu Jiao visited the company to make a scene.
Liang Wen said Xu Jiao had kicked Li Gong’s office door open.
Everyone in the company saw Li Gong’s little lover leaning against him in a disheveled state, her eyes flirtatious. Xu Jiao lifted a chair in the office and threw it at them. Fortunately, she was stopped by an employee passing by.
“And then?” Qu Zhi held her chin and listened carefully.
