Her friends standing next to her couldn't bear to listen and just wanted to pull her away.
Xu Qingzhu's eyes were like cold knives, but Wang Ruoshi was fearless. "Tell me quickly, when are you getting a divorce?"
Liang Shi: "..."
Before Xu Qingzhu could speak, she took a deep breath to calm herself down and said to Wang Ruoshi, "Come with me, let's talk."
Then she looked at Xu Qingzhu, leaned closer and whispered, "I'll take care of it."
It was the original owner's mess, and only she could solve it.
Letting Xu Qingzhu handle it... that would be too much of a jerk.
Liang Shi led Wang Ruoshi to a relatively secluded place, where Xu Qingzhu stood not far away. However, she did not look at them and turned her back to the sea.
Her figure was straight and slender, making her a beautiful sight on the beach.
If eyes were cameras, they could capture her beauty anytime.
After a moment, Liang Shi withdrew his gaze from Xu Qingzhu.
She herself didn't realize that her gaze towards Xu Qingzhu was gentle and doting, and the corners of her lips were slightly upturned in a soft smile.
But when facing Wang Ruoshi, he adopted a cold and indifferent attitude.
Wang Ruoshi saw all of this and clenched her fists in anger, coldly questioning, "Have you forgotten?"
"Forgot what?" Liang Shi's voice was devoid of any warmth.
Her height allowed her to look down at Wang Ruoshi, who stood on the beach, looking up at her with red eyes, like a pitiful little white rabbit that had been abandoned.
But Liang Shi felt no compassion whatsoever.
"Have you forgotten our promise?" Wang Ruoshi sniffed, looking aggrieved. "You said you were going to divorce your wife, but what are you doing now? You're wearing matching outfits and coming out to see the sea with her! Don't tell me this is your pre-divorce romance! I don't want to hear it!"
“I won’t tell you,” Liang Shi said. “Why should I tell you about my affairs with my wife?”
Wang Ruoshi: "?"
She was taken aback.
No, things shouldn't be going this way, right?
She said I wouldn't listen. Shouldn't Liang Shi be anxious to explain to her?
Why was Liang Shi so indifferent?
This is unreasonable.
In the past, her girlfriends would coax her into coming to them, but why is it that with Liang Shi, she gets bullied in bed, and when they meet again, even being coquettish doesn't work?
“No, you have to explain,” Wang Ruoshi said. “I want to hear your explanation.”
"Why should I explain this to you?" Liang Shi said coldly.
Wang Ruoshi: "..."
"You!" Wang Ruoshi was on the verge of tears, "You've gone too far!"
“Miss Wang,” Liang Shi said neither humbly nor arrogantly, “I may have said some inappropriate things or done some inappropriate things in the past, but I never made any promises to you, so our relationship is over, and you have no right to interfere in my affairs.”
Wang Ruoshi was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"Don't bother me anymore," Liang Shi said. "I wish you meet better people and have a better life."
After saying that, she turned to leave, but Wang Ruoshi grabbed her and asked in shock, "Are you saying that what happened between us doesn't count?"
"What happened between us?" Liang Shi asked rhetorically.
"That day...at the bar, you...you slept with me," Wang Ruoshi said. "Have you forgotten?"
Liang Shi closed his eyes briefly: "But I certainly never promised you that I would marry you."
Wang Ruoshi: "..."
"Then if you get a divorce, wouldn't it be better to marry me?" Wang Ruoshi retorted.
Liang Shi said coldly, "Not good."
“First of all,” Liang Shi glanced at her hand on his body, reached out and removed it, and then said methodically, “the matter between my wife and me is only between the two of us, and you have no right to interfere; secondly, I never promised you anything, and it was a matter of mutual consent, so let’s finish what we started and not bother you later; thirdly, I have never had a good impression of people who knowingly engage in extramarital affairs.”
Wang Ruoshi was stunned. She pointed at herself, "You're saying I... was a third party? I... I..."
She wanted to find a point to refute, but she was so angry that she stammered, and after a while she finally managed to say, "I didn't! It was you who..."
"Did I ever hide my marital status from you?" Liang Shi countered.
Wang Ruoshi shook her head, "No. But..."
Liang Shi said coldly, "There are no buts."
Wang Ruoshi: "?"
Liang Shi’s tone was filled with disgust, “Miss Wang, no matter how broken other people’s relationships are, it’s not a reason for you to interfere.”
Wang Ruoshi: "..."
Wang Ruoshi was stunned for a few seconds. By the time she came to her senses, Liang Shi had already walked a short distance away.
Gazing at that slender figure, Wang Ruoshi suddenly shouted, "And what about you? You have a wife but you're still hooking up with other men in bars, what are you?!"
Liang Shi paused, then gritted his teeth and replied, "Trash."
Wang Ruoshi: "?"
To everyone's surprise, she even cursed herself.
//
Liang Shi was initially overwhelmed by this sudden change and did not consider the logic behind it at all.
She only managed to sort things out when she led Wang Ruoshi to a secluded spot.
Regardless of the reason, the original owner liked Xu Qingzhu, and it was a very special and intense liking, even to the point of being morbid.
Furthermore, the original owner had a sex addiction and had many sexual partners in the past, so it is unknown whether she still has a regular bed partner.
In this situation, how could the original owner possibly tell others that she would marry you after the divorce?
The most likely scenario is that they'll settle the matter with money.
Wang Ruoshi wasn't very shrewd either, constantly saying that you would get a divorce, and her answer about marrying her after the divorce was also taken for granted.
Therefore, Liang Shi guessed that the original owner might have drunk too much, which is why he told someone that he wanted to divorce Xu Qingzhu, but it was impossible for him to promise to marry her.
Wang Ruoshi was probably after Liang Shi's money, so she wanted to use this opportunity to climb the social ladder.
When Liang Shi went back to find Xu Qingzhu, he found her buying things at a vendor's stall on the beach.
He seemed completely unconcerned about what had just happened to her.
However, this incident served as a wake-up call for Liang Shi.
She had no idea how many people the original owner had been with in the past, or how many more "Wang Ruoshi" might come knocking on her door in the future.
She could only secretly pray that the original owner had gotten rid of all her ex-lovers and casual sex partners.
Wang Ruoshi walked over with a pair of red eyes in her eyes. Her friend sighed helplessly, "I told you not to get entangled with these rich people, but you just wouldn't listen."
"Do you know what she just said to me?" Wang Ruoshi was still somewhat incredulous.
"What?" my friend asked.
Wang Ruoshi burst into tears, "She scolded me for being a mistress, sob sob sob."
Friend: "...Aren't you one?"
Wang Ruoshi: "?"
“You knew she had a wife back then, and you took 500,000 that day, didn’t you?” your friend said. “Let bygones be bygones. Don’t dream of marrying into a wealthy family anymore. That’s not something we can dream of.”
Wang Ruoshi: "?"
She was furious. "Are you still my friend?"
The friend, who was about to offer a few more words of advice, suddenly stopped, opened his mouth awkwardly, then closed it again, nodding blankly, "Yes."
"Then why did you keep talking to her?" Wang Ruoshi asked angrily.
My friend pursed his lips, and after a moment he cursed, "That guy's trash too! He's got a wife and he's still hooking up with other women! He's not good enough for his wife at all!"
Wang Ruoshi: "...You know his wife?"
“She’s the daughter of Minghui Jewelry.” Her friend showed her on her phone. “She’s beautiful and highly educated; she’s truly the ideal woman.”
Wang Ruoshi opened her phone and gritted her teeth, saying, "Wait!"
"What?" my friend asked.
Wang Ruoshi clenched her fist: "I will definitely marry someone a hundred times better than Liang Shi in the future!"
friend:"……"

After Liang Shi returned to Xu Qingzhu's side, Xu Qingzhu didn't say anything, only asking her to pay for a hair clip.
The two strolled side by side on the beach, the afterglow of the setting sun spilling onto the sea, the rippling water turning golden, the afterglow continuously rolling on the surface of the sea.
The vast blue and golden sea reflected each other, and the people playing on the beach gradually dispersed, returning the place to tranquility.
The sun quickly disappeared behind the mountains, leaving only a dim sky.
The wind picked up in the evening, and Liang Shi kicked up sand with his feet. He wanted to explain to Xu Qingzhu several times, but didn't know how to start.
It often begins with a hesitation to speak and ends with a sigh.
Until Xu Qingzhu's hair tie fell onto the beach, her long hair was instantly whipped wildly by the wind.
Liang Shi picked up her hair tie and pulled her from behind, the two of them very close, almost to the point of embracing.
"My hair tie fell off," Liang Shi said. "My hair is a mess."
"It's nothing." Xu Qingzhu lifted her hair, took out the hair clip she had been holding, wrapped her hair around her slender white fingers a few times, and then clipped it with a pearl hair clip, revealing the smooth and delicate lines of her neck.
She strikes a perfect balance between aloofness and gentleness.
After a long silence, Liang Shi finally spoke up to explain: "That wasn't me."
