A woman who is not ruthless will not have a stable position.

  "These few are all timid, who is Xian Yu, she is the daughter of the Shen family, and has been promised to be the wife of the Lu family's young master since childhood. In her eyes, no one else can compare to the young master of the Lu family. Back then, whoever dared to pursue her would have been overestimating themselves and asking for humiliation."

  Hua Liwen's legs were crossed, and she glanced at Shen Xiangyu with a sneer on her lips. It wasn't just her, but everyone here who made fun of her glorious past, thinking that she was overestimating herself and seeking trouble for no reason.

  What a Shen family's thousand gold, what a Lu family's young madam, the then wind and cloud of the whole city Shen Xiangyu, now is actually a woman abandoned by Lu Qiwei, and even sat in prison, is a woman with nothing, no, this is indeed the current fact, a reality she had long been mentally prepared to accept, because, four years of time, also changed her.

  Shen Xiangyu quietly watched and listened, without saying a word. They were still circling around her business, never intending to let go of this sensitive topic that made her feel uneasy.

  At this time, someone else chimed in with a sarcastic tone: "I'm telling you, Xinyu, why didn't you grab hold of Lu Qiwei back then? He's really made it big now. In the past few years, he's been making waves in the industry with the investment company under the Lu family name. All the financial magazines have been interviewing him nonstop. What woman wouldn't want to cling tightly to a man like that? And you just let him go so easily and divorced him, what a waste."

  "How come you've been married to him for three years, had a kid together, and when you divorced, you must have split a lot of assets. Think about it, you're also considered to have made a profit, so don't think about it anymore. Besides, he's now someone with a fiancée."

  "Fiancée? When did Lu Qiwei have a fiancée? Who is it?"

  "You don't all know, do you?" Huali Wan smiled smugly and glanced at Shen Xinyu before continuing: "I heard his fiancée is also a big shot, it should be announced soon. Xinyu, didn't you know about this?"

  "Alright, Liwen, Emma, aren't you thirsty from talking so much? Let's just drink. " Xiaoya, who had been quiet until now, looked at Shen Xiangyu, who was still calm and collected, and felt even more bored. She picked up two cups of wine and handed them to the girls, pretending to be helping her out.

  Shen Xiangyu looked at those eyes full of sarcasm, knowing that they said these things just to see how she would react when hearing them, but what kind of reaction should she have?

  Heartache? She no longer had the strength to heartache for him, her heart had long been numb since that year. In their eyes, she was a fallen and shattered person who didn't even have the qualifications to get back up, but she still wanted to stand up with dignity, live a good life, and have self-respect.

  No matter whether Xiaoya's help was sincere or not, she returned a faint smile and walked out of the private room. Despite her heavy footsteps, she walked steadily and closed the door, isolating their gazes inside.

  "It's all come to this, and you're still pretending to be a lady? Hmph!" Huali Wan gave her a sideways glance and snorted softly.

  Xiaoya raised her wine glass and clinked it with hers, a smile playing on the corner of her mouth. Without saying a word, she downed the drink in one gulp.

  At this moment, the music shook the entire space, Xiaoya held up her hands, twisted her slender waist, and was as beautiful as a wild rose about to bloom. She completely lost the image of a well-behaved girl at home, and with the handsome men and beautiful women, she wildly danced and unrestrainedly showed off her passion, playing to the extreme.

  However, all of this had nothing to do with Shen Xiangyu anymore. After coming out of the restroom, she didn't go back but instead wanted to find a quiet place to catch her breath.

  As I passed by the card table in the hall, I saw a man approaching forty hugging Qin Jie, his hands restlessly wandering over her body, holding a full cup of wine for her, forcing it to her lips, and laughing wildly: "Good drinker, come on, let me finish this cup."

  "Mr. Chen, I really can't drink anymore." Qin Jie looked a bit uncomfortable, one hand covering her stomach and the other shaking her head. Today she had been forced to drink a lot of wine by this guest, and with her menstrual cramps, her stomach was hurting so much that she could hardly hold on.

  Chen Wei was a man who loved to save face, and in front of his friends, he couldn't afford to lose face. Moreover, since his recent divorce, he had been harboring a lot of anger inside. So when he heard this, Mr. Chen's smile suddenly froze, and he forced a cup of wine towards Qin Jie's mouth, completely disregarding whether she was in pain or not, and poured it down her throat.

  "I'm telling you to drink, just drink, don't give me any nonsense——"

  Her lips were hurt by his strength, causing her to struggle constantly. Suddenly, with a slight carelessness, the wine spilled onto Mr. Chen's clothes. His face sank immediately, and Qin Jie didn't even have time to apologize before being slapped hard in the face.

  A crisp slap was drowned out by the music, and everyone in the private room just stared, no one dared to make a sound.

  Qin Jie fell to the ground, covering her swollen left cheek, and kept saying: "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional."

  "Sorry? Then drink this bottle of wine and talk to me again!" Mr. Chen leaned against the sofa, with his legs crossed together, pointing at the bottle of wine on the coffee table, saying: "If you can't finish it, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"

  Qin Jie's face turned even paler, Mr. Chen was someone whose identity she knew, if she didn't drink the bottle of wine, she wouldn't be able to mix in anymore, perhaps, as long as she drank the wine, nothing would happen, thinking this, she reached out to grab the wine, but another hand beat her to it and took it away first, she raised her head and stared blankly, how could it be...

  Shen Xiangyu took the wine and looked at the person on the sofa, saying coldly: "I'll drink this bottle for her!"
