When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 706: Mu Ke, Let’s Give It a Try (16)

Xin Ke seemed surprised by Sheng Jiayu’s sharp tone, looking at her with a face full of astonishment. Sheng Jiayu also faced him, but her eyes were still uncontrollably red-rimmed.

"Xin Ke, back then it was you who didn’t want me, so your future life has nothing to do with me. You once said you didn’t want me to disturb your life, so I’ll return the words to you. Coming to your ex-wife when you’re hurt, don’t let this happen again. I’ll thank you for that. Goodbye."

Sheng Jiayu finished in one breath, opened the car door and was about to get out.

Suddenly, Xin Ke spoke from behind: "Jiayu, why are you like this?"

Sheng Jiayu paused and heard him say, "I just wanted to confide in you, I..."

"Confide in me? In what capacity are you confiding? An ex-husband who can remain friends after divorce? Xin Ke, did you forget, on the day of our divorce, you said we’d better be like strangers in the future."

"I..."

"And, as a husband, you cheated during our marriage. Do you think that wasn’t hurtful to me? Do you think I, Sheng Jiayu, deserve this because I loved you? So now you think it’s rightful to come to me to confide?"

Actually, from the moment she found out Xin Ke was cheating, until the divorce, Sheng Jiayu hadn’t really fought with him. Her heart was shattered at that time; she didn’t have the strength to argue. Counting up, this was her first time speaking so sharply to Xin Ke.

Sheng Jiayu didn’t turn around, tears continuously falling, but her voice remained clear.

"We are divorced. You live your life; I live mine. Whether you’re doing well or not, it has nothing to do with me. Don’t come to me again. This is the first and last time I’m meeting you today."

"You have a new boyfriend, so you’re treating me like this? Jiayu, you’re not young anymore, and you’ve been divorced. What do you think he’s after? It’s just because you’re the eldest lady of the Sheng family, you think..."

Xin Ke spoke anxiously, but Sheng Jiayu frowned and sharply interrupted: "Enough. My business has nothing to do with you, and what he’s after has nothing to do with you. Xin Ke, in your eyes, I’m nothing, so I should be nothing in everyone else’s eyes too?"

Xin Ke’s words really made her furious, the long-held grievances and heartache all erupted with her anger. Sheng Jiayu turned back, tears still in her eyes, but her gaze was icy.

Xin Ke was startled by her gaze, Sheng Jiayu pressed her lips together and said nothing more, opened the car door, and got out.

The red coat was particularly conspicuous in the night, while Xin Ke sat dumbfounded in the car.

Today, he was indeed in a bad mood. After leaving home, he didn’t know why he ended up here and then called Sheng Jiayu.

His original intention was really just to find someone to confide in. Since the divorce from Sheng Jiayu, he thought his life should get happier, but in fact, it kept running uncontrollably into chaos...

A lot of things had been weighing on Xin Ke’s mind for a long time. Just now, after telling her, he felt much better, but didn’t expect Sheng Jiayu to react like this.

She clearly wasn’t like this before. She was always so compliant and always knew how to comfort and console him. Why had she changed now?

Xin Ke recalled the image of another man and furrowed his brows. Was it really because of that man?

A sense of panic and annoyance arose in his heart, and the man’s frown deepened.
