"You." Hearing Chen Zhiyan speak of herself in such a manner, Sun Renyao's complexion wasn't looking too good either as he angrily huffed,
"It seems I was right to abandon you back then. You are still as foolish and ignorant as you were."
"Foolish and ignorant?" Chen Zhiyan imdiately beca very agitated, pointing at Sun Renyao in anger, "It was precisely because of my foolishness and ignorance that I married you, this ungrateful wretch, against my father's wishes!"
She had sacrificed so much for Sun Renyao, and yet, in the end, he dared to call her foolish and ignorant? Was this sothing a person would say?
Thinking of this, Chen Zhiyan couldn't help but start sobbing.
"Oh look, crying again? You really haven't changed at all, still as stupid and cowardly, just like a pig," Xiao ii mocked without rcy.
"We're all classmates, isn't it a bit too much to speak like that?"
Yu Ou couldn't help but glare at Sun Renyao and Xiao ii. It wasn't his place to ddle in others' family matters, but Sun Renyao and Xiao ii were going too far. They had not only stolen soone's husband and hurt her but were now here insulting her—how could they act in such a manner?
There's a saying: 'A night together makes a hundred days of grace.' There's no deep hatred between them, so why the need to be so ruthless?
"Too much? You don't know a damn thing! She never loved . We were married for two years, and she never let touch her once! Don't think I don't know, she was always pining for that beast Hao Jian! She even sneakily inquired about Hao Jian's whereabouts behind my back.
Who really went too far?"
Sun Renyao said with a grim expression. Speaking about this enraged him—Chen Zhiyan had married him, yet her mind was always on another man. Who could tolerate that?
"You're complaining to now? Long before we got married, I told you I couldn't forget Hao Jian just yet and might need so ti. What did you say then? You said it was fine, that you truly loved and were willing to wait as long as it took. Turns out all those words were just hot air!"
Chen Zhiyan was so angry her face turned red. It wasn't that she hadn't discussed this issue with Sun Renyao; she had, and he had agreed. But now, bringing up past matters, it beca her fault?
Back then, Sun Renyao just wanted Chen Zhiyan to support him, so of course, he agreed to everything. Now that Chen Zhiyan could no longer support him, he had changed his tune.
"So many years have passed, and you still haven't forgotten Hao Jian? You really are hopelessly devoted," Xiao ii said with a sneer.
"Turns out it wasn't Sun Renyao who cheated, but you who behaved inappropriately first. With that in mind, you are even less qualified to accuse us."
"Forget it, let's not bother with her, let's pick out a diamond."
Sun Renyao didn't want to waste his breath on Chen Zhiyan anymore. He actually felt guilty about the matter, and when people face sothing they are ashad of, they tend to subconsciously avoid it.
"Fine, Chen Zhiyan, pick out the most expensive and finest ring in your store for ."
Xiao ii looked at Chen Zhiyan smugly, intending to have Chen Zhiyan, Sun Renyao's ex-wife, select a ring for her and Sun Renyao—it was the perfect way to utterly trample her underfoot.
"I absolutely will not serve you!" Chen Zhiyan said through gritted teeth.
"Don't go too far!" Yu Ou also clenched his fist. In fact, he had been angry ever since Sun Renyao called Hao Jian a beast.
"How have I gone too far? I'm just driving business for an old classmate, isn't that so? Chen Zhiyan, don't you want the commission? That's worth several tens of thousands at least, and your family owes so much money. It's perfect for paying off debts, isn't it?" Xiao ii chuckled, feeling utterly thrilled.
"Damn it!" Yu Ou couldn't hold back anymore, and with a roar, he marched towards them, full of rage.
"Oh, Yu Ou, you want to fight? If it wasn't for Hao Jian covering for you back in school, you would have been beaten up countless tis by now. And now you want to throw your weight around in front of ? Hao Jian was sothing else, but you? Better not, man!" Sun Renyao looked at Yu Ou with disdain.
"Yu Ou, my daddy often dines with the mayor. If you try anything foolish, just one phone call from , and I'll have you stuck behind bars!" Xiao ii also raised her eyebrows, her gaze icy as she looked at Yu Ou.
"Smack, smack, smack."
Just then, a steady stream of applause ca from outside the store, and Hao Jian walked in at a leisurely pace, his face adorned with a composed smile:
"Years have passed and scum is still scum, not a single change, huh."
"Hao Jian?"
Both Sun Renyao and Xiao ii sharply inhaled in fear and stared at Hao Jian, unable to believe that he would appear here. Hadn't this guy gone off to join the army?
The mont Sun Renyao saw Hao Jian, he shrank away like a mouse who had seen a cat, instinctively hiding behind Xiao ii.
Because back in high school, he had frequently ended up on the receiving end of Hao Jian's fists and was psychologically traumatized by it.
When Xiao ii caught sight of Hao Jian, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but shimr with interest, but as soon as she noticed his shabby clothes, that interest completely vanished.
No matter how charming Hao Jian used to be, now he just looked like a down-and-out loser, so she completely lost any interest she had.
In comparison, Sun Renyao's clean and handso appearance actually seed far better than Hao Jian's current state. If she had to choose between Hao Jian and Sun Renyao now, she would definitely pick Sun Renyao.
Although she was aware that Sun Renyao was only after her wealth, if you were going to keep a pretty boy, he should at least be good-looking, right?
n are lustful, and won are just the sa; otherwise, they wouldn't be constantly fussing over "handso young n" all day long.
Hao Jian and Yu Ou exchanged a glance, and both nodded at the sa ti. As brothers for many years, there were things they understood without needing to say them aloud.
"Are you okay?" Hao Jian asked with a gentle smile, looking down at Chen Zhiyan.
Chen Zhiyan imdiately threw her arms around Hao Jian, starting to sob with hiccupping breaths.
Hao Jian let out a wry smile, patting Chen Zhiyan's head: "Don't cry now, I will stand up for you."
"Shaless couple! Adulterer and slut!" Sun Renyao pointed angrily at Hao Jian and Chen Zhiyan, cursing furiously.
Hao Jian's eyes suddenly narrowed, fixing a piercing gaze on Sun Renyao: "Say that again?"

Intimidated by Hao Jian's glare, Sun Renyao's confidence faltered montarily, but then he found his courage again, bolstered by Xiao ii's support, and sneered:
"Hao Jian, do you think you're still back in high school, where you could bully ? What about you, huh? You two are nothing but a pair of adulterers and sluts, the scum of earth, a bitch matched with a dumbass. Unbeaten in the world!"
"Heh, quite the rhyming talent," Hao Jian chuckled darkly, and then his foot flew out swiftly.
Sun Renyao was sent flying through the air, crashing heavily against a pillar and collapsing in a daze.
"Sun Renyao!" Xiao ii panicked at the sight of her boyfriend getting beaten like that and imdiately glared at Hao Jian with fury.
"What? You want to end up like him?" Hao Jian chuckled.
"Hao Jian, after all we were classmates, do you really have no regard for old tis?"
Xiao ii said angrily, her heart filled with envy and hate. It was always like this, always! Why did Hao Jian always stand beside that damn fatso, instead of her? In what ways was she inferior to her!
