007

I heard that Hu Ling is only 22 years old, her father is a university professor, her mother is a teacher, and she is from a scholarly family. I also heard that Hu Ling has been beautiful since she was a child, and is very popular with others. The point I want to make is that generally speaking, beautiful girls are naturally a bit proud and manic. Especially when they are still in their manic years.

After I beat the guy, I felt extremely relieved, but my body also retreated to a safe position.

Who knew that this girl Hu Ling would rush up and slap me twice? I'm not stupid. I must avoid the harm that should be avoided.

Indeed, Hu Ling was very angry. The little fox bared its sharp little teeth at me and rushed towards me, but was stopped by the woman behind him.

"Hu Ling! Stop!"

I squinted my eyes and looked at the man wearing black-framed glasses who was walking quickly towards us, and thought to myself, it turns out there is a reason why Hu Ling is so popular. With such a rational military advisor behind him, it would be hard for him not to be popular.

When the military advisor saw me, he walked up to me with an expressionless face, grabbed Hu Ling, and put her behind him, then handed me his business card.

"Hello, Miss An. I am Liu Ziyang, Hu Ling's agent. Regarding Miss An's previous behavior, I think it has violated Hu Ling's rights. Please apologize, otherwise don't blame me for taking legal action..."

Apologize? Huh... and take legal action

It seems that I must change my opinion of this military advisor, she is a complete dog-headed military advisor. Or maybe she doesn't understand my identity at all.

"Apologize..." I nodded. "Okay, it's better to hold a press conference. It doesn't matter to me. We are both divorced wives. But Miss Hu Ling's agent, are you sure that Miss Hu Ling can bear the title of a mistress who destroys other people's families?"

You know, the most taboo thing for public figures is their image. Hu Ling has always appeared in public with a beautiful image of justice, cuteness, and fairness. I bet that this little fox, whose fur has not even grown out yet, cannot bear to be called a bitch by everyone on the street.

As expected, Liu Ziyang looked up and seemed to look at me differently. She didn't say anything, probably thinking that it should be settled privately. In my opinion, it's fine if it's settled privately.

I wasn't in the mood to talk to these bastards. Wen Li honked his horn from behind me, so I walked towards him quickly.

"Hey, Wen Li, you're here."

Wen Li drove the car, glanced at me, and smiled, "I thought you needed help?"

"What's wrong? Do you have a new respect for me?" I continued joking.

Unexpectedly, Wen Li nodded seriously, and glanced at Hu Ling and Liu Ziyang behind me, "I am a little confused now, how could you let this woman into your life?"

I turned around and smiled, "That's because Zhuoyang never wanted to exist in my life."

After that, Wen Li stopped talking. I was probably still in a bad mood when Zhuo Yang was mentioned, but Wen Li was very good and gave me some space to think alone.

Finally, he asked me, "Do you want to go back and get something?"

I nodded and said, "Take it. Of course I should take it. He couldn't let me follow him naked."

The house on the mountain was still as deserted as usual. When Mrs. Chen saw me come back, she came to greet me with a look of surprise on her face.

I think she probably didn't expect that I would come back so stubbornly.

"I'll pack my things."

I opened the door and stood in the bedroom for a long time. I always felt that although this room was deserted, there were many shadows of Zhuo Yang.

Impatient, unhappy, dislike... all are not...

Now that I think about it, I seem to have never seen him smile in all these years. People say Zhuo Yang has a paralyzed face and never smiles. He should smile occasionally in front of me, his wife. But I thought about it seriously and shook my head. Sorry, I really can't remember the time when Zhuo Yang smiled at me...

Oh... wait... I think there was one time.

That year, I was still young.

That year, I also met Zhuo Yang for the first time. It was my sister An Ran who brought him home and shyly told my shocked parents that this was Zhuo Yang, her friend.

Zhuo Yang looked so handsome at that time, wearing a white jersey. When he smiled, he showed a row of beautiful and neat white teeth. It seemed that the sunlight behind him was particularly bright.

At that moment, when he nodded and smiled at me, I heard my heart pounding.

I blushed and lowered my head. At that moment, perhaps I could say something in a literary way.

I heard the sound of flowers blooming in my heart.

There is a faint sweet smell in the air, that is love at first sight.

I opened the window and wanted to let the sunlight into the room. However, after sniffing carefully, I found only a cold and damp smell in the air.

The sweet and warm taste like wonderful marshmallows is long gone.

While I was thinking, there was a knock on the door. Standing at the door was Mrs. Chen, who was hesitant.

"Miss An, do you want me to make you something to eat?"

I thanked him and nodded.

"Thank you, but no thanks."

Mrs. Chen nodded, turned and left, took a few steps, then turned her head back hesitantly.

"Would you like me to help you?"

Help me pack my things? I shook my head, "No, from today on, I have to do my own things."

Perhaps, it should have been like this a long time ago. I heard that an old lady came from a wealthy family and wore Jimmy Choo shoes all year round, but she still worked diligently for a job with an annual salary of only $30,000. Thinking about it this way, I didn't have a child, didn't keep my love, and never had a job in these years. It was all in vain. Thanks to the example of netizen Shuishui

Because Zhuoyang didn't come home for many years, the room was always empty, and I thought I would have very few things. But after all the trouble, I found several large bags.

While packing, I suddenly remembered a joke.

The husband and his wife had an argument, and the husband drove his wife away. The wife angrily went back to her room to pack her things, and finally all the bags were mixed together. The husband felt soft-hearted and wanted to keep his wife, but he couldn't say anything because of his face. Finally, he saw his wife walk up to him, take his hand and walk out.

The reason is that you are mine too, so naturally I have to take you away.

This joke was once regarded as a sweet classic by netizens. As I was packing my things, I thought, why not be brave for once and take Zhuo Yang away.

But... this was just a thought in my mind. It disappeared in an instant.

You know, Zhuoyang, you have never been mine.

After so many years of marriage, Zhuoyang has never treated me unfairly in terms of material things.

I have several large closets of clothes, shoes and hats, all of which are brand names of the season. I looked through the full closets and finally picked out some simple, wearable clothes.

There are also some diamond jewelry that Zhuoyang gave me, and my birthday, Women's Day, and wedding anniversary. Zhuoyang never forgot them all. But I know that's because his good secretary, Li Si, didn't forget them.

If I had a bit more backbone, I would throw all these things in the man's face and say disdainfully: I don't want your dirty money.

But I am such a spineless person. Zhuo Yang only gives me three thousand a month. Well, no matter who you get along with in this world, you should never get along with money.

Without thinking too much, I dumped the pile of sparkling diamond jewels into the box, figuring that I could probably exchange these things for some money.

By the time we finished cleaning up, it was already dark.

Mrs. Chen saw me coming out with my bag and came over to meet me.

"Miss An, it's getting too late."

I nodded, "I asked a friend to pick me up."

Mrs. Chen stopped trying to stop me, but just walked me to the door. She paused for a moment and then handed me a business card.

I picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from Mrs. Chen’s daughter-in-law, Ding Wei.

Seeing my confusion, Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Miss An, you are alone outside, so it is inevitable that there will be some difficulties, so..."

Mrs. Chen seemed a little hesitant and didn't say anything more. But I understood. This kind old lady was afraid that I would be without friends and no one to take care of me after I left, so she gave me someone she trusted, hoping that he could take care of me.

I was really touched and hugged this kind old man.

In my opinion, she is more approachable than my cold mother.

"Thank you, Mrs. Chen."

Wen Li called me and said he would be there soon.

I didn't want Mrs. Chen to wait for the bus with me in the cold wind, so I let her go in. It was just my bad luck that I met Ding Chunchun.

Ding Chunchun was very surprised to see me. I guess she would gloat over the misfortune.

She was indeed gloating over my misfortune, but when she heard that my alimony was only three thousand a month, she stopped being sarcastic and instead yelled at me.

"An Yue, are you a fool? Zhuo Yang dumped you, and you just let him go for three thousand a month?"

I was stunned. This didn't seem to be Ding Chunchun's line. Was she standing up for me? But I didn't think I cared.

"I have hands and feet, I can work, and I get an extra 3,000 yuan a month, which is not bad."

"You..." Ding Chunchun was angry at me for not living up to her expectations. She glared at me for a long time. Finally, she gave up helplessly.

"I don't like you."

I nodded and said nothing. Actually, I don't like her either.

"I feel sorry for you now."

I nodded again, this is what I wanted to say to her.

But at last she said something.

"But I envy your courage."

Now it was my turn to be stunned. Ding Chunchun envied me for many things, Zhuoyang, the wife of the first wife, or the limited edition brand of the season, but she said courage.

But she and I were not close friends, not even friends we could talk to. She scolded me for a while, pointed at my nose and called me useless and a stupid woman, and then left angrily.

I stood in the cold wind, folding my hands, and vaguely heard Ding Chunchun scolding me while cursing Zhuo Yang's ancestors for three hundred generations.

I jumped up and down. I had no interest in what this strange woman was thinking. There was only one fact in my mind: why Wen Li hadn't arrived yet.

Is his quick decision going to make me wait in the cold wind for half an hour

I took out my phone and was about to call Wen Li to say hello politely when I heard a car horn at the corner. I was delighted and rushed to the car with my luggage.

At this time, the car door opened.

But I paused.

Zhuo Yang, why are you back
