Luo Zhiming, that bastard, must have made so dirty money recently and has been flaunting it in front of her.
Thinking of this possibility, Xu He trembled with rage, feeling incredibly wronged in her heart.
So that very day, Xu He took a half-day off specially and returned to the rented house they shared at noon to see if Luo Zhiming was actually going to work.
As expected, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Luo Zhiming fast asleep on the bed.
Startled by the sound of the door opening, Luo Zhiming jumped up from the bed, his guilty expression was unmistakable.
But he still tried to lie, stamring to Xu He, "Hehua, why are you back at this ti? I was thinking it was a light day at the office, so I ca back for a nap."
Xu He quietly looked at Luo Zhiming, and as his complexion changed, her heart grew colder.
Because of Luo Zhiming’s reaction, she felt even more convinced that he was lying to her. She couldn’t take it anymore and pulled Luo Zhiming up from the bed, squinting at him, "Luo Zhiming, you’ve always said you’re working. Take to see where you work today."
Instantly, Luo Zhiming’s complexion changed, "What... what’s there to see at work? It’s just a small factory, the workers are busy, and it’s too dirty inside, you won’t see much."
After saying that, he tentatively reached out to hug Xu He.
This ti, Xu He was not going to be easily fooled by him again. She pushed him away, annoyed, "Luo Zhiming, I’m going to see for myself today. I want to know what kind of business you’re really running."
"I..." Luo Zhiming saw that Xu He was suspicious of him and didn’t know how to continue.
Xu He sneered, then continued, "Also, you keep saying you’re doing business. Tell what kind of business you’re really in."
With no way out, Luo Zhiming continued to lie, "Isn’t it just processing so clothing or sothing? I told you."
"No, you never told . I have always been in the dark about your affairs." Xu He decided to clear everything up today, "Also, I’ve made up my mind about buying a house. I’ve decided not to wait for the new one to be built. It’s better to buy one near my factory, even if it’s not the best. At least it will be our ho. We can take our ti and upgrade to a better house when our lives improve."
By now Luo Zhiming was pale with fear. Suddenly flustered, he jumped down from the bed and begged Xu He as he held her hands, "Hehua, Hehua, didn’t we agree on waiting for that house to be built and then buying a better one?"
"Did you not hear what I said? I said we’re buying near my factory." Xu He was almost certain that Luo Zhiming was deceiving her. Impatiently, she pulled her hand away from his and shouted, "Get the money right now; we’re going to buy it. A few thousand to start with as a deposit will do."
"I..." Luo Zhiming was frightened by Xu He’s determination.
"What, you don’t have it? Can’t co up with the money?" Xu He sneered at him, "Luo Zhiming, you’ve been deceiving lately, haven’t you?"
"I..." Luo Zhiming’s expression instantly beca despondent upon hearing this, because he realized that Xu He had seen right through him.
Xu He looked at him steadily, her expression indifferent, "You haven’t been doing any business, you can’t afford to buy a house. You’re just stringing along to share a bed with you by weaving these lies."
"I’m not..." Luo Zhiming stamred, unable to refute.
Xu He stared at him, coldly saying, "Be honest. Do you think you can still fool now? Unless you really bring out the money to buy a house for , to give a good life."
"Hehua, listen to ." Luo Zhiming knew he couldn’t hide it any longer and had to admit, "I have indeed been deceiving you recently, but it’s because I love you..."
"Slap." Before Luo Zhiming could finish, Xu He slapped him hard several tis, pointing at him and scolding, "Luo Zhiming, you’ve made my life miserable."
Stunned by the slaps, it took Luo Zhiming a mont to react. Fearing that Xu He would leave, he reached out to hug her, pleading, "Hehua..."
But before she could finish speaking, Xu He slapped his face again, "You scoundrel, if I had known what would happen after you forced yourself on , I should have reported you to the police imdiately and had you arrested."
Hearing the ntion of calling the police, Luo Zhiming knelt down in front of Xu He, crying with snot and tears, "Hehua, everything I did was truly because I like you."
Xu He looked at him, feeling utterly heartbroken. She, Xu He, had always been smart, yet she fell for the likes of Luo Zhiming, a scoundrel. If murder wasn’t illegal, she would have killed him.
But she, Xu He, had already been ruined by Luo Zhiming; she couldn’t let him harm her for a lifeti, she couldn’t kill him.
After a long silence, she sighed deeply, and upon seeing Luo Zhiming rembered how he ostentatiously splurged in front of her initially. Frowning, she asked, "Luo Zhiming, where did the money co from when you first ca to see and bought things?"
"It’s from the wood factory where I worked and got injured; the boss gave it to as dical compensation." Luo Zhiming half-lied, "I didn’t want to spend it on myself, I didn’t even give much to my family; I spent most of it on you because I truly like you."
Even if Luo Zhiming died in front of her at this point, she wouldn’t be moved. She pulled her mouth into a sneer, "Luo Zhiming, stop feeding this crap. Liked or not, a person like you without a house, without money, even without a job, you are not worthy of liking ."
"I..." Luo Zhiming was stunned, looking at Xu He with a surprised face, he never knew Xu He could be so harsh.
Xu He couldn’t be bothered with him. She stood up and started packing her things, ready to leave, "Let’s just say I was stupid, stupid enough to be deceived by you. I won’t co here again in the future. Let’s go our separate ways and never et again."
"Xu He..." Luo Zhiming just wouldn’t let Xu He go.
Xu He completely ignored him. Every ti Luo Zhiming ca close to her, she would kick him away without hesitation.
After packing up her things, Xu He looked at him and said coldly, "Also, the landlord is already pressing for the rent. If you want to keep renting, pay up. If not, pack your things and leave."
Seeing that Xu He was truly unrelenting, Luo Zhiming stood up, his face full of sorrow, looking at Xu He, "Xu He, are you really that heartless? I’ve spent quite a lot of money on you lately too."
