Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
Liu Mei Qi simply could not believe her own eyes, especially since she also saw that Yao Xueqin was actually embracing Wang Erhai.
That was her best friend, her close sister.
She had even once regarded Yao Xueqin as her spiritual pillar.
During the time when she and Wang Erhai were making a fuss about divorce, it was Yao Xueqin's encouragement that gave her the courage to start a new life.
But looking at it now, the so-called deep sisterly bond seemed like a colossal joke.
"Thud."
The carefully prepared birthday cake slipped from Liu Mei Qi's right hand.
It fell to the ground, smashing into a mess like mud.
"Yao Xueqin, why, why would you do this to me!"
After a brief silence, Liu Mei Qi ultimately erupted.
A feeling of being deceived made her explode with enormous anger, to the point of instantly losing her reason.
"Yao Xueqin, you must give me an explanation today!"
Carrying a whole air of gunpowder, Liu Mei Qi walked up to Yao Xueqin, pressing her aggressively for answers.
Yao Xueqin saw that the matter could no longer be concealed.
So she no longer concealed it; she frankly admitted:
"That's right, Erhai and I are together."
As she spoke, she even deliberately held Wang Erhai tighter, right under Liu Mei Qi's eyelids.
This tiny action, however, possessed enormous destructive power against Liu Mei Qi.
"Yao Xueqin, you bastard!"
Liu Mei Qi raised her hand, intending to give Yao Xueqin a slap.
But Wang Erhai would not let her have her way.
A large hand shot out, grabbing Liu Mei Qi's wrist.
"Liu Mei Qi, are you finished or not!"
Wang Erhai coldly shoved Liu Mei Qi away.
At this moment, he only wanted to protect the woman he loved; as for what kind of feelings this madwoman Liu Mei Qi might have, he simply would not care.
Everything about Liu Mei Qi had already become unrelated to him.
Liu Mei Qi's heart broke.
Broken thoroughly.
Turning into drops of tears, they flowed from her eye sockets.
Tears fell onto the floor, splashing in four directions, humble as dust, disappearing without a trace.
"Yao Xueqin, you must give me an explanation today!"
Liu Mei Qi wept, looking at Yao Xueqin being protected by her ex-husband.
"What explanation do you want?"
After a brief moment of inner panic, Yao Xueqin quickly regained her calm.
She had actually known long ago that all this would have to be faced sooner or later; it was merely a matter of time.
"It was you who initially said my husband wasn't good enough for me, so how could you turn around and be with my husband!"
Liu Mei Qi questioned with heart-rending anguish.
Yao Xueqin, however, calmly gave her explanation:
"That's right, Erhai isn't good enough for the proud you; you deserve a better man, but he's just right for me."
Then she even corrected Liu Mei Qi:
"Don't keep saying 'my husband' this, 'my husband' that; Erhai has already divorced you, he is no longer your husband."
Hearing these words, Liu Mei Qi directly went crazy:
"Yao Xueqin, you bitch, it was you who caused me and my husband to divorce!"
Saying this, she again lunged to tear at Yao Xueqin.
Wang Erhai shoved her away with one hand:
"Have you made enough trouble!"
Then he coldly accused:
"Look at you, like a madwoman; which man can stand you like this? Can't you be a little more mature? Do you really think you're still a three-year-old child, needing everyone to coax and indulge you all day long? Which man can stand you like this? Today I'll lay it out clearly: my divorce from you has nothing to do with Xueqin at all! I divorced you first, and only then did I get together with Xueqin!"
At this time Yao Xueqin said:
"Liu Mei Qi, if you come to my house as a guest, I welcome you very much; if you come to my house to make unreasonable trouble, then don't blame me for issuing you an expulsion order."
"What 'your house', this is my house, this is my house!" Liu Mei Qi shouted hysterically.
Yao Xueqin, however, looked at her like she was a neurotic:
"What 'your house'? You've already sold this house to me, it's already been transferred to me, and you still say 'my house'? Do you still want any face?"
Liu Mei Qi's body trembled, as if struck by lightning.
Looking at this familiar house before her, everything inside was what she had once meticulously arranged.
Looking again at the familiar man before her, she recalled how they had once been intimate in this house, quarreled, gone wild together.
But now, all of this no longer belonged to her.
She had been calculated against step by step, slowly, by her own best friend, and in the end lost everything that should have belonged to her.
Only at this moment did she suddenly realize:
"I finally understand, why you urged me to go work in Guangzhou, to buy a house in Guangzhou — turns out it was all premeditated! You not only wanted to seize everything of mine, you also wanted to kick me away with one foot, and drive me to a dead end!"
Liu Mei Qi right now had indeed already nearly reached a dead end.
The first job she found in Guangzhou with a monthly salary of twenty thousand, she hadn't even passed the probation period before she gave up the chance to continue working because of a so-called company policy change that raised the assessment standards — because if she didn't quit, it would have been fundamentally impossible to become a regular employee.
And after becoming unemployed, she had been trying her utmost to find a new job, but at the very root she simply couldn't find a new job with a monthly salary of twenty thousand; forget twenty thousand, no one wanted her even for ten thousand a month.
With her resume — no education to speak of, no experience to speak of, small county town sales experience — in the eyes of many companies it fundamentally didn't count, so the majority of companies at most offered her work with a base salary of four or five thousand, and nothing higher.
But she had a heart higher than the sky, fundamentally unwilling to lower herself.
Additionally, practical reasons also did not allow her to lower herself.
Because she still carried a mortgage; with a base salary of four or five thousand, if she couldn't produce any business performance, she couldn't even pay the monthly mortgage!
This time coming to find Yao Xueqin, besides wanting to give Yao Xueqin a surprise and help Yao Xueqin celebrate her birthday, there was another important reason: she wanted to come find Yao Xueqin to seek spiritual comfort.
Before this, Yao Xueqin had always been her spiritual pillar.
Yet she never expected that this spiritual pillar would now directly turn into a giant hammer, smashing heavily down on her skull.
Hammering her until she was dazed, stunned.
"Yao Xueqin, you want to force me to death, right? If you want me dead, just say so directly!"
Liu Mei Qi shouted wildly.
If not for Wang Erhai holding her back, right now she would be embracing Yao Xueqin, rushing out onto the balcony together, leaping down, and perishing together with Yao Xueqin.
Yao Xueqin remained very calm, wearing an expression of righteous confidence:
"I didn't want to force you to death. Initiating the divorce with Erhai was you yourself. Initiating selling the house to me was you yourself. Initiating going to Guangzhou to find work, going to Guangzhou to buy an apartment, was also you yourself. If you yourself weren't willing, who could force you? I even advised you not to divorce lightly — did you listen to a single sentence of mine?"
Liu Mei Qi was rendered speechless for a moment by what was said.
She couldn't out-argue Yao Xueqin.
There was indeed a component of Yao Xueqin's calculation in this.
But what Yao Xueqin said wasn't wrong either.
If Liu Mei Qi herself wasn't willing, who could force her?
Unable to out-argue Yao Xueqin, Liu Mei Qi turned to speak to Wang Erhai:
"Husband, let's not divorce, okay? Let's make up and be as before, alright?"
Liu Mei Qi looked at Wang Erhai, eyes full of tears, a pitifully lovely sight, carrying a humble plea.
