After she left the police station, Ding Luxin wandered on the streets until nearly dusk. In the end, she sat in the freezing cold at the bus stop by the side of the road, her stomach rumbling with hunger. That man scratched her hand when he tried to snatch her valuables. Now, the wind was blowing, and the wound hurt and it was painful.

The woman couldn’t help but feel aggrieved.

She had never suffered like this before. Although according to her, she suffered with Father Wei for so many years, in fact, when she married Father Wei, she had been well taken care of. That man won’t even let her touch cold water or ask her to do anything. She can play cards at will, and there was always a tall figure behind her to protect her from the wind and rain.

Since she followed the old man for money, she was always beaten and scolded. She also had to pretend she did not know that he had other women outside. On the surface, she was the madam of a rich family, but in reality, she had no children and had to rely on making her stepson, who totally despised her, accept her as his mother.

Over the years, she waited on the old man who already had one foot in the grave with trepidation. Although she didn’t do housework, because of the harsh attitude of the old man, the housekeeper simply despised her and scolded her behind his back for relying on her beauty.

In this way, she didn’t even dare to get angry openly. Looking back over the past 10 years, she almost always spent her time humbling herself.

As it turns out, the smoothest and most comfortable time of her life was during the years she spent in her ex-husband’s home.

For a moment, she quietly reminisced on the history of the Wei family fortune. If she hadn’t left at that time, but stayed there for a few more years, the Wei family with her in it would become rich. That way, she wouldn’t be a gold worshipper who was ridiculed, but instead be a good woman who always stayed with her husband.

A gentle husband, a dutiful son, all these would be hers.

Regret spread from the bottom of her heart like a crazy vine that quickly spread over her entire heart.

Ding Luxin then walked on aimlessly, unaware of her legs turning sore. Then, she ended up walking slowly outside the Wei family’s hotel.

Although it was getting dark at the moment, the hotel was still busy and brightly lit. The beautiful girl in uniform stood by the door to greet the guests. When she saw a gaunt middle-aged woman standing at the door, she bowed respectfully and asked in a crisp voice, “Hello, welcome.”

“Xiao Zhang.”

A deep and mellow voice sounded. Ding Luxin did not see the person, but she recognized her ex-husband’s voice instantly. She subconsciously hid behind a billboard and listened to the man talking with a smile as she held her breath.

“Come with me after work for a while. I booked a place in the teahouse.”

“Okay, Boss, can you wait for me for a bit? I want to put on some makeup and make sure I look good before I go.”

Father Wei had a good temper, and the employees here were neither too afraid of nor formal with him. Sure enough, Father Wei wasn’t annoyed, but instead smiled and agreed, “It’s just the right occasion for you to get dressed up. I’ll be helping out at the front desk for a while, so just give me a shout when you’re ready.”

“Ah, okay!”

Ding Luxin hid behind the billboard and looked at the man dressed in plain clothes. Father Wei aged like fine wine with the times barely doing a number on him, but his success added an element of charm to his figure. She still remembered when this man was much younger and had a handsome face, and he was so nervous his face turned red as he half knelt down to propose to her.
