However, the pain remained in her heart.

She thought her heart had become numb and painless. It did still feel the pain after all.

“We all know what happened four years ago. Don’t you?” Xia Ruoxin continued to stare calmly at the woman in her eyes. She had hated her four years ago. Right now, the feeling had vanished. It was too tiring to live in hatred. She had learned to love herself and her daughter.

Li Manni’s face changed into an unnatural shade of color, but the hatred remained. She stretched her hand and pointed in Xia Ruoxin’s face, completely blinded by hatred.

“You will leave Chu Lui, my husband. I won’t permit you to seduce him. Scram. Or else, I definitely won’t let you off.”

“Don’t you know Chu Lui? Don’t you understand him?” Her finger was almost poking into Xia Ruoxin’s eye. A touch of cold hit her eyelashes. Who said that she deserved all this?

She didn’t want it; neither was she a willing party.

If only she could leave and get as far away from that man as possible.

“What do you mean?” Li Manni took a deep breath, but she finally retracted her finger. It went to tug on her clothes instead. She shouldn’t be blamed for losing her calm. Recently, she had been driving herself crazy.

Chu Lui was distant, and her parents-in-law had been pestering her with questions about her belly. Seeing Xia Ruoxin was the last straw. Why must it be her and not other women? It could be anyone, just not her.

Xia Ruoxin smiled faintly. It was a sad smile. “Do you think you could’ve stopped that man when he has decided upon doing something? Or do you think I can?”

Li Manni’s face went a shade paler. She was right. Chu Lui has always been overbearing. Once he had made up his mind on something, he would act on it with any means necessary. He would also do anything to destroy the things that he didn’t want. Just like how he had hated Xia Ruoxin for four years.

His hatred had ruined her thoroughly. Yet, she was still alive. She had even manifested as the crisis in their marriage. Li Manni was afraid she would become the next ‘Xia Ruoxin’.

She was terrified of losing Chu Lui and everything she had now.

Even more so because of Xia Ruoxin, the woman who had stayed in Chu Lui’s mind for the past four years.

As much as she was trying her best to keep herself level-headed, Li Manni’s body continued to shake. No woman would be able to tolerate something like this, especially if her own husband was still tangling with his ex-wife. Li Manni was no exception.

“Don’t you worry. I will be leaving this place soon. I am not you, and no one can replace you.” Xia Ruoxin’s lips curled with some desolation, and she walked away with steady steps. Her hand was caressing her face. It still hurt.

Once Rainy was better, she would leave and get away from these people once and for all. She had only wanted a stable life. However, these people obviously did not want the same for her. Regardless of whether it was Chu Lui or Li Manni.

Li Manni stood rooted on the spot and looked towards where Xia Ruoxin had left. Her expression was galling. A slap was hardly enough to ease her anger. If it was not for her status, she would have risked everything to kill that shameless woman.

However, she seemed to have forgotten one thing. Not long ago, she had also been this shameless. Now that the wheel had started to spin again, she had forgotten what she used to be. She had also taken another woman’s husband away, destroyed a marriage, and ruined a family.

She turned around and took another look at Chu Lui’s apartment. If she had not come here and seen for herself, she never would’ve known that he had betrayed her and their marriage.
