Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

On this day, Xiao Mei was absent-minded at work, unable to muster any energy.

She had originally naively thought that as long as she came to work at Shanhai Real Estate, getting closer to Wang Erhai would enhance the feelings between the two of them.

Unexpectedly, Wang Erhai simply didn't take her seriously at all.

That kind of sense of disparity — once high and mighty, now thrown into the mud — made her feel extremely awful.

She felt disheveled and bedraggled, in a sorry state.

She had become a joke in front of Wang Erhai.

Her self-confidence was deeply struck, and she even doubted her life for a time.

However, even so, she still had to hold back her tears and continue doing her telemarketing job.

Because if she made the slightest mistake, she might face another round of criticism from Wang Erhai.

She barely managed to endure until the afternoon off-duty time.

She could only watch helplessly as Wang Erhai took Zhang Xiaoyun out to watch a movie.

Zhang Xiaoyun was so happy, like a lively little rabbit hopping about!

That woman who went to watch a movie with Wang Erhai originally belonged to her, Xiao Mei!

How come she has become someone else's now?

Xiao Mei was suppressed to the point that she began to doubt herself, to deny herself.

She began to reflect on herself: she shouldn't have been cold and indifferent to Wang Erhai back then; when Wang Erhai was shamelessly pursuing her, she shouldn't have put on a cold face; she should have given Wang Erhai a chance.

Everything was her fault.

She missed out on a good man.

A good man who could let her live without worries about food and clothing in the future, who could let her become the boss's wife!

She regretted this deeply, hating her own choice back then.

However, she also knew that she could no longer stay at Shanhai Real Estate.

Not to mention waiting for the probation period to end, she couldn't stay even a single day anymore.

But before leaving, she must ask Wang Erhai one question clearly.

Otherwise she would be unwilling to let it go.

So after getting off work, she came alone to the entrance of that mall where Wang Erhai and Zhang Xiaoyun were watching the movie.

She just waited at the mall entrance, waited for the movie to end, waited for Wang Erhai to come out.

And at this moment, inside the cinema.

Wang Erhai and Zhang Xiaoyun had only just taken their seats.

They bought popcorn, bought drinks, and the two sat side by side.

Wang Erhai's eyes were watching the movie, yet his mind was not on it.

In his mind, he was still thinking of Xiao Mei.

After a surge of retaliatory satisfaction, he instead felt empty inside.

No matter what, he had once sincerely pursued Xiao Mei.

To say he had not a shred of affection for Xiao Mei would be completely false.

But Xiao Mei's realism and snobbery also made him hate her very much.

"If you hadn't taken the initiative to come find me when I had a little achievement, but instead patiently waited for me to take the initiative to find you, how good that would be……"

Wang Erhai thought so in his heart.

Xiao Mei's initiative instead made Wang Erhai unable to accept her in his heart anymore.

The movie started playing.

Beside him, Zhang Xiaoyun watched while eating popcorn.

The cast of "Painted Skin 2" was powerful; Cheng Kun, Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei — these several lead actors were all ones she liked.

So she watched with great relish.

But this was not what made her happiest.

What made her happiest was that the one accompanying her to watch the movie was Shanhai Real Estate's General Manager Wang Er.

When the two reached into the popcorn bucket for popcorn, their fingers had slight contact.

Zhang Xiaoyun's mood couldn't help but become excited.

She mustered her courage and grabbed Wang Erhai's hand.

Wang Erhai was stunned for a moment.

He turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaoyun's profile.

He saw Zhang Xiaoyun still staring straight at the big movie screen; the dim light fell on her profile, her profile already burning hot red, shy and flustered yet the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl up in a secret smile.

This struck Wang Erhai's inner heart as if hit.

Zhang Xiaoyun's appearance was not inferior to Xiao Mei's; most importantly, she not only accepted his courtship but also actively gave positive feedback.

So Wang Erhai's mouth corner also curled up slightly, and he smiled faintly.

The two no longer ate popcorn.

They just silently held hands, silently watching the movie.

Until the movie ended, their hands still hadn't let go.

Then they just naturally walked out of the cinema holding hands, like a couple who had been together for a long time, leaning on each other as they walked down the road.

"Wang Erhai!"

Just as they walked out of the mall gate, a heart-rending shout.

Suddenly shattered the sweet atmosphere between the two.

Wang Erhai couldn't help but freeze, looked up, and saw that Xiao Mei was actually standing right before his eyes.

Xiao Mei's face was full of weariness, collapsed emotions leaping on her face, tears flowing down unstoppably.

"Chen Xiaomei, are you crazy, what are you shouting for on the street?"

After a moment of stunned silence, a disgusted expression appeared on Wang Erhai's face.

Xiao Mei wiped away the tears on her face, mustered courage and said:

"I came here today to ask you one question clearly."

"If you want to ask, ask quickly, don't act crazy here, so embarrassing!" Wang Erhai had an impatient look.

Zhang Xiaoyun on the side also looked at Xiao Mei with a face full of resentment.

She felt Xiao Mei's sudden appearance had seriously ruined the date between her and Wang Erhai.

"Did you ever love me at all!"

Xiao Mei shouted out heart-rendingly.

Her emotions had already collapsed.

The surroundings attracted quite a few onlooking melon-eating masses.

Everyone watched, discussing in low voices.

None too understood, this man before them had ordinary looks, temperament also very average, how could he have two beauties fighting over him?

Can only say, this man Wang Erhai who from childhood to adulthood was never outstanding, really has good fate; if Shanhai Real Estate hadn't made it, he'd still be a screw-tightener's fate.

But coincidentally Shanhai Real Estate, on the verge of bankruptcy, actually revived through the unconventional method provided by Xu Mingxin.

So he now has a face full of glory, he now is proud and pleased with himself.

"Don't be self-deluded okay, when did I ever love you?"

Wang Erhai's answer was quite ruthless, he spoke a lie.

Because he felt Xiao Mei questioning him in public was really too embarrassing for him.

He now only wanted Xiao Mei to leave quickly.

Hearing these words, Xiao Mei's heart shattered, she shouted frantically:

"Then what about the promises you made to me before!"

Wang Erhai pretended not to know that promise:

"What promise did I make to you?"

Xiao Mei shouted:

"You said when you had money you'd take me to Guangzhou Tower aerial restaurant to eat Western food, you said let me wait for you, you said when you succeeded you'd come back to find me! You don't remember any of it!"

Wang Erhai didn't deny, but counter-asked her a sentence:

"Touch your own conscience and ask yourself, back when I said those words, did you really believe them?"

Xiao Mei immediately had no words to say.

Wang Erhai said again:

"To put it nicely you were giving me a chance, actually you just treated me as a spare tire, you never loved me at all, now you have the nerve to come shout and make a scene before me? Don't you think you're ridiculous?"

Xiao Mei even more couldn't speak.

Because what Wang Erhai said were all true words.

And true words often hurt the most.

Simply poked into Xiao Mei's lung tubes inside.

"Xiaoyun, let's go, ignore this crazy woman."

Wang Erhai pulled Zhang Xiaoyun and left, only leaving Xiao Mei alone standing frozen in place, disheveled in the wind.

After Wang Erhai left, Xiao Mei collapsed crying loudly:

"Since you don't love me anymore, why did you still recruit me into your company..."

At this time, a figure walked over, handed her a tissue.

"Don't cry anymore, crying is useless."
