Lan Qingqing was being deliberately provocative; she despised Tong Le and used this underhanded method to disgust her. The more lewd acts she committed, the more satisfaction she felt inside, believing that Tong Le was foolish—foolish to the extreme.
When Tong Le became aware of Lan Qingqing's little antics, she noticed that the transparent glass beside her was a mirror, reflecting every move Lan Qingqing made as she flirted with Ke Wenjie. A few times, when she caught glimpses of the reflection in the glass, she felt no emotion at all. She had long stopped loving Ke Wenjie and harbored no hatred for Lan Qingqing either. In fact, she thought Lan Qingqing was even more foolish than herself, endlessly competing with her over someone as worthless as Ke Wenjie. Wasn't that just plain stupidity?
Tong Le also couldn't understand why Ke Wenjie couldn't bear loneliness. When a man was desperate, he would swallow anything, no matter how rotten it was. In the past, Tong Le had a strong sense of personal morality. From the very first day she learned of Ke Wenjie's infidelity, she silently promised herself that once she reclaimed her rightful inheritance, she would leave him and allow him to be with Lan Qingqing.
However, as time went on, Tong Le gradually realized that if it weren't for her overly strong sense of morality, she wouldn't have been bullied by Ke Wenjie to such an extent—she wouldn't have been made to feel like someone who could be trampled upon! She had been wearing a green hat for seven consecutive times since the beginning of their relationship; Ke Wenjie had been secretly involved with Lan Qingqing from the start. Day after day, he brainwashed her, leading her life downhill. As if that weren't enough, he covertly stole resources from the Tong Family and monopolized their assets. He even plotted against her parents, resulting in them both receiving critical illness notices.
Each of these incidents was enough for her to take up arms and tear Ke Wenjie apart. That despicable and cunning man had transformed her from a lively and cheerful person into a resentful woman with a green glow above her head.
She should have sought revenge. When counting all the women Ke Wenjie had cheated with—just those he took to bed—there were countless numbers. If it weren't for her self-respect, Tong Le would have already avenged herself in an eye-for-an-eye manner, letting a whole forest of green grow atop Ke Wenjie's head! But she knew that Ke Wenjie was a person of low character; she couldn't lower herself to his level by casually bringing men into her life just for revenge.
She simply understood that she no longer loved Ke Wenjie, and he had never loved her either. Given this reality, she had the right to choose someone worthy of her love. That marriage certificate was no longer proof of a binding relationship because Ke Wenjie had destroyed its meaning; it had merely become a tool for him to seize the Tong Family's assets.
Tong Le regretted getting married; she regretted letting a wolf into her home. She regretted her kindness in mistaking Ke Wenjie for a savior and confusing gratitude with love.
As dinner came to an end, Tong Le raised her glass and suggested to Lan Qingqing, "How about next weekend? You can bring your boyfriend out to dinner with me and Ke Wenjie. Let him get vetted by Ke Wenjie! Your boyfriend must be as outstanding as Ke Wenjie!"
Lan Qingqing awkwardly smiled, glancing at Ke Wenjie before nodding in agreement. "Alright, I'll bring him out next weekend for you to meet."
After dinner, Tong Le and Ke Wenjie returned home. As soon as they stepped through the door, Zhang Huizhi looked displeased and complained to Tong Le, "You went out for hot pot without calling me? Did you forget there's still me at home?"
Tong Le feigned innocence and replied cheerfully, "Oh mom! I went out for dinner with Ke Wenjie and Lan Qingqing! She's pregnant now, and her boyfriend is a promising young boss, so we celebrated together. Next time we go for hot pot, I’ll definitely invite you!"
With a smile on her face, Tong Le turned and headed toward the bathroom.
