Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 1309: What an Unexpected Turn
"What do you mean by ’accidental discovery’?" Jiangli pressed.
He Ruomei choked up as she said, "I, I died beside this stone, but later I woke up again. I felt that this stone might be able to help me, so I brought it back."
Yu Misheng and the others were somewhat surprised upon hearing this.
Xun Tianhai couldn’t help but ask, "When did you die, and why did you become like this?"
He Ruomei sobbed intermittently, "Just, just at the end of last year..."
Yu Misheng suddenly remembered something, "Last year? Wasn’t that the time you quarreled with Wu Jianhan and drove away?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
He Ruomei stared at him in disbelief, "How do you know?"
Yu Misheng said, "I heard Boss Qiang Ying from next door mention it."
He Ruomei lowered her head and said with a choked voice, "Yes, that was the time... I had a quarrel with him..."
She knew Wu Jianhan was unhappy with her decision to open an inn in Leping Town without consulting him.
She also knew that this was something she owed Wu Jianhan. At home, she usually tolerated Wu Jianhan and didn’t say anything.
That day was truly an accident.
She came to check the accounts and realized that they had lost quite a bit over the past six months. She couldn’t help but remark that other people’s inns were making money, so why was theirs losing money? Maybe the business strategy was problematic.
At the time, she had casually mentioned it to a waiter, wanting to ask someone else’s opinion.
However, Wu Jianhan overheard it.
Words spoken unintentionally, but heard attentively.
Upon hearing these words, Wu Jianhan directly confronted He Ruomei, and they argued publicly.
He accused He Ruomei, blaming her for suggesting he was inept at managing. He said he never wanted to manage such a lousy inn in the first place. If it weren’t for her acting arbitrarily, how would he be stuck in this small place?
The argument escalated.
He Ruomei, hearing him say this, was also furious and retorted, "Yes, this place is small, but I’ve been stuck here for half my life for this family."
Wu Jianhan, growing angrier, began to speak more harshly. He claimed He Ruomei was incompetent, lacked education and ability, and apart from taking care of others at home, was there anything she could do?
Even if He Ruomei went out, she couldn’t earn any money, unable to even support herself.
Now, using his money, just staying at home to take care of the family, she’s dissatisfied here, unhappy there, completely pretentious.
He also said that having lost his six-figure salary job, he’s trapped here, subjected to He Ruomei’s reproach, and criticized him for poor management.
This was all He Ruomei’s fault!
He accused He Ruomei of failing to take good care of the family, leading to the parents’ illnesses and the children’s poor academic performance, declaring those were He Ruomei’s problems.
He Ruomei couldn’t take it, surprised that after years of dedicating herself to the family, all she received were accusations like these from Wu Jianhan, leading her to run out and drive away.
That day, she drove aimlessly, initially not wanting to return home.
Coincidentally, Leping Town was at the foot of Laoshan, so she drove into the mountains.
She didn’t notice the car’s condition.
She was crying to the point of dizziness, not noticing she had driven into an isolated mountain forest.
When the vehicle suddenly stopped, she realized the car was out of gas, and upon looking up, she found herself in a strange place.
By then, it was completely dark, surrounded by a vast expanse of snow-covered forest and ground.
He Ruomei looked around, unable to recognize where she was.
Moreover, it was snowing heavily at the time, making her somewhat anxious. She returned to the car and took out her phone, intending to call Wu Jianhan or the police, only to find there was no signal, and she couldn’t even make an emergency call.
