Early the next morning, Li Kai left home without even saying goodbye.
I got ready and took the two kids to school before taking a ride to the new office.
After half a day of getting acquainted, I quickly adapted.
At noon, I went to the cafeteria with my colleagues and ran into Li Kai with a young girl, who I recognized as Wang Mei.
Seeing them laughing and chatting together, I wondered when they had become so close.
I was surprised but didn't show it.
When Li Kai saw me, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
He seemed unsure it was me, but when he noticed my somewhat cold expression, he appeared to realize something.
The girl beside him, Wang Mei, was holding his arm, looking like a couple.
I ignored Li Kai, but coincidentally, our team was seated next to them, with Li Kai sitting diagonally across from me.
When my colleague called my name, the shock and disbelief in Li Kai's eyes made me want to laugh.
However, I didn't pay much attention to it.
After lunch, while my companions went to buy drinks, I waited for them in the lobby on the first floor.
Feeling bored, Li Kai approached me and handed me a bottle of water.
I did not take it.
[How did you dress like this? Do you work here? How did you manage that?]
The office environment here is even better than Li Kai's company, and Li Kai works nearby and often comes here to eat.
I didn't expect to be caught by him so soon. [Surprised?]
I smiled. [I'm not just a useless cook; I can only collect fees at the supermarket.]
Li Kai looked awkwardly at me and asked if he had said something out of line after drinking too much yesterday.
I nodded and said with a smile, [You don't understand your Ex-Wife, but your Ex-Wife knows you better than anyone. I no longer need to look at your face for living expenses, nor do I need to be pushed out to work by you. I have my own abilities to find my own sky.]
Li Kai's expression was indescribably difficult to read as he sat there in shock.
He wouldn't expect that I would know everything about what happened last night when he went to the bar, hugged another woman, and insulted me thoroughly.
He also wouldn't realize that every time he carelessly spoke about me, someone would tell me.
I sighed and said, [Li Kai, I also want to know how much affection we really have for each other. What is your relationship with Wang Mei?]
Hearing me mention her name, Wang Mei walked over coldly.
[Oh, I couldn't recognize you. So it's that auntie. Just because you dress like a white-collar worker doesn't mean you can always be one. Don't you think you've been out of touch with society for too long?]
Li Kai remained silent with a serious face, and I ignored Wang Mei, not intending to get entangled with her. Unexpectedly, she coldly laughed and said, [Don't think that Brother Li doesn't know about your little tricks. GJ Model Agency is your best friend's company, and you actually sent a man to test me. How despicable.]
I smiled lightly, not responding or engaging, and walked to the other side, but Wang Mei wouldn't let it go.
[Brother Li, this woman is too despicable; you mustn't pity her.]
I made a phone call; I was downstairs from my office, and absolutely no negative incidents that could affect my work should occur.
Five minutes later, the security guard came in and asked the other person to leave due to the lack of a pass.
In the lobby, it was just me and Li Kai. Li Kai asked, "I've looked into those matters; they really are your best friend's people. You've truly disappointed me."
I laughed coldly. "Li Kai, you don't understand human nature. That woman, Wang Mei, abandoned you once; you really don't learn from your mistakes."
I took the elevator with my colleagues, and after that, I never saw Li Kai in the same cafeteria again.
It was said that employees not in the same building were temporarily not allowed to come over for meals.
That evening, Li Kai returned home early.
I continued to prepare meals for four people as usual.
Li Kai kept his head down, eating quietly with very few words. Occasionally he would play with the children but dared not look up at me.
The cold gaze in his eyes made me uneasy.
After dinner, he didn't rush back to his room; instead, he either played games in the living room or made phone calls on the balcony.
Later I learned that Li Kai's client had come to my workplace to investigate me, and that person had strong connections and revealed some information to Li Kai.
Li Kai knew my current position and salary.
Upon seeing me dressed like a high-level white-collar worker every day, his expression was simply too good to be true.
Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get so much money to dress like this? This isn't the you I used to know; you wouldn't waste money like this."
The old me? I laughed. All this money comes from the commissions of Headhunter, which allows me to afford the things I want now. Before, I wouldn't even dare to do this.
And I prefer my current self. "I earned all of this with my own hard work."
I chuckled and didn't want to say much to Li Kai, but he seemed determined to confront me today. "Tell me the truth, where did all this money come from?"
Seeing his relentless demeanor, I smiled and replied, "I have hands and feet; I don't steal or rob."
I bypassed him and returned to my room.
After that, it seemed like Li Kai came over every day to provoke me.
He said that at my age of forty, dressing so flamboyantly was just trying to attract attention. He claimed that my attractiveness to men was gone since I was nearing menopause.
It hurt to hear, but I endured it.
What he said was true, but I had to undergo my transformation right under his nose.
Every day's provocation revealed the dark side of this man, and I had a faint feeling that something was about to happen.
That day was a weekend. I was at home cooking for the kids when Li Kai brought a girl back with him.
To my surprise, it was none other than Wang Mei. She provocatively picked up a vegetable leaf, waved it in front of her, and disdainfully tossed it back into the basin.
Li Kai announced that he was about to marry this girl and have their own children. Although this home had a share of mine, all the money was contributed solely by him.
Over the years, I have been provided for without any cost and have handed over my entire salary. I have done all I can, and now that I have found a good job, he hopes that I can bless him.
He can give me full custody of both sons, of course, he will still provide child support every month.
Wang Mei smiled indifferently and touched her belly; my pupils widened as I realized the issue.
Wang Mei said that in the future, the living expenses for the children wouldn't be too much. She isn't very capable, so she plans to go out and earn more money.
A stay-at-home wife for several years who can maintain a decent job is truly struggling.
Who doesn't know how many years she has been out of society? I had to applaud her for her desperate efforts.
It's just a pity that in the future, Li Kai will have to support her and her children. Wang Mei showed off her slender figure in front of me.
She claimed she was still young and would easily find a good job after having children, while it has been really tough for me.
She also emphasized that they would try their best to give more in the future, but they must already have their own family.
I laughed coldly, not expecting this day to come so soon. I still insist on what was clearly stated in the divorce agreement: the property is to be split equally.
Now that you want to remarry, you must compensate me for my share of the property at market value.
I will hire a lawyer to discuss this matter with Li Kai.
Li Kai angrily threw his phone, creating a large hole in the floor. He kept cursing in the living room, saying I was a pit of dissatisfaction.
He has already found love with a girl who is kinder than me; why can't we part on good terms?
I turned a deaf ear. I must ensure a secure future for myself and my two children. I absolutely cannot be the good person here; I cannot show any weakness.
I know that Li Kai has no money and cannot come up with more money to get married.
He is doing this on purpose.
He wants the house.
The next day, Li Kai changed the locks on the house. When I came home with the kids in the evening, he locked me out.
I anxiously knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside. I called Li Kai, but he quickly hung up.
I waited at the door with the kids for an hour, my heart growing colder with each passing moment.
I had no choice but to seek help from my best friend. Without a word, she brought people to my doorstep; she had to help me settle this score.
The door to my house was smashed open just like that. Li Kai and his new girlfriend were still cooking in the kitchen, completely unprepared for what I had done.
I looked coldly at Li Kai, holding two children in my arms. I didn't want them to see Li Kai's ugly face.
I wanted to protect them from further harm, but the two little ones began to cry in my embrace.
Li Kai frowned, and that girl, Wang Mei, smiled provocatively.
