Chapter 826: Family of Opportunists

epeated the name, but still had no memory of it."Jun Qing Cheng!"On the other end of the phone, Gu Ruyi's face was extremely ugly. She gritted her teeth and muttered those three words, her anger surgi...She actually slept the whole night leaning against the door frame yesterday evening.

When I woke up, my head was splitting. The smell of alcohol on my body made me realize that last night I had gone to a bar with Song Mengmeng and partied hard.

So he just sat on the floor and took a nap, got a little cold, and his headache got worse.

Slowly he got to his feet, looked up at the clock on the wall, and saw that it was already 11 o'clock in the morning.

My goodness, she has never been so out of sorts before.

The aftereffects of a hangover, my head aches terribly.

Achoo—

My body is freezing; I must have caught a bad cold.

She felt weak and slumped onto the sofa beside her. Her mind was sluggish, but she vaguely recalled Henry coming to see her late last night.

She and Song Mengmeng left the celebration early and went clubbing, then he came to wait for her, and Henry seemed to have gotten his finger pinched.

Suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration.

Because she slammed the door shut so suddenly, Henry got his finger caught in it and it looked like it hurt quite a bit.

Fang Mei felt a surge of guilt and heartache.

She rarely got drunk, and she never imagined herself being so reckless.

But then he remembered, that awful female agent was there too. She said she was taking Henry to the hospital to get his finger looked at.

"...Yeah, he's always got people looking after him."

"My girlfriend is really insignificant."

Fang Mei looked like a crazy woman, her hair a mess like a chicken coop, head hung low, and she was weak all over. She mumbled to herself with a wry smile.

Last night, I was surrounded by those women at the venue, being laughed at and ridiculed.

She knew she was ordinary and unremarkable, but why should she be subjected to such humiliation

Perhaps, just as that woman said, it was because I took too much of what belonged to me, because I was too greedy

A man as excellent as Henry, she doesn't deserve him.

A feeling of inferiority washed over me.

Perhaps it was because of years of subconscious inferiority complex that she always wanted to settle down and get married to him.

"Forcing a man to marry me, is that really my fault Am I too greedy..." Even she began to doubt herself.

My discomfort, coupled with all the negativity from last night, welled up inside me, and my eyes involuntarily began to moisten.

"Is there anything wrong with wanting a simple, happy life Is there anything wrong with wanting stability"

Why do people say she is greedy

She didn't want Henry's money, all she wanted was for him to spend more time with her. She longed for the simple life of a normal family, with everyone gathered together in the evenings, laughing and playing. Even if they had less money, that would be enough to feel safe and warm.

Her seven-year relationship has always been accompanied by a sense of inferiority and insecurity, buried deep inside, spreading like fear, making her unable to adapt now.

Henry wanted to be part of high society, but she was unable to help his business.

Perhaps they will have nothing to talk about together in the future.

“… Such a relationship wouldn't have any real outcome. Even if you forced him to get married, so what So many people get married and end up divorcing anyway.”

The better his career developed, the farther apart they grew.

She is just an ordinary person, and no matter how hard she tries, she can't achieve what he has.

"Even if Henry had a kind heart and didn't abandon me, I would still become a burden to him..."

He truly deserves a better partner.

Yesterday, the women at the celebration were dressed to the nines and speaking the most cutting and pragmatic words.

They are right.

"Humans should not be so greedy to covet things that do not belong to them. If they are not capable of obtaining them, they will only end up in pain."

But she was never actually a greedy person.

She huddled on the small sofa, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. She didn't know who she was crying for, feeling a sense of injustice but also believing that she deserved to suffer.

Knock knock knock—

Just then, there were a few knocks on the door of the rental house.

Several familiar voices came from behind the rusty iron gate, "Fang Mei! Is Fang Mei here"

It was her mother calling at the door.

She was always the strong, responsible daughter in front of her parents, never needing anyone to worry. The moment she came to herself, she quickly wiped away her tears. She couldn't cry in front of her family.

Chin up and hold back those tears.

The sailor ruffled his hair and took a deep breath to compose himself.

The voice on the other side of the door urged more urgently, "Fang Mei, are you home"

Outside the door, her brother's voice could be heard, "Do you think we got the wrong place How could he live in such a rundown place My sister has been in France for so many years, she can't be poor, right"

Hearing this, Fang Mei couldn't help but smile wryly. She had never claimed to be wealthy abroad. She simply earned money there and sent it back home. Because of exchange rates, her family spent more freely with the foreign currency.

"Here I come, just a moment."

She adjusted her facial expression and then went up to open the door.

"Where have you been all this time..."

Fang Mei's mother was just about to speak when she smelled a strong smell of alcohol in the room. Seeing her own daughter in front of her, she was immediately shocked and exclaimed, "What's going on Have you been drinking"

Her daughter never drinks.

"My sister is an adult, and she's lived abroad for so many years. Isn't it normal to drink alcohol" The younger brother defended his sister with a fawning smile.

"Sister, this is my girlfriend, Huihui."

His girlfriend, Zhang Minghui, is of medium build and slightly thin. Her shoulder-length hair is dyed a bright purple, making her look very stylish and intelligent.

The younger brother's girlfriend also had a smile on her face and seemed quite friendly towards him, even calling out "sister" as well.

Fang Mei also smiled and nodded to the other person.

"What kind of girlfriend Huihui is my daughter-in-law, we've already got the certificate, just waiting for the wedding banquet." Fang Mei's mother glared at her siblings before entering the house and calling out to them.

"What are you doing standing out there Come in."

Only when they stepped inside did they realize that the room was much smaller than they had imagined, barely 25 square meters. To make matters worse, even the furniture was outdated, and the small sofa had several layers of skin peeled off.

The younger brother's girlfriend's face changed noticeably, as if she didn't know where to sit. She hesitated, afraid that sitting down would dirty her new dress.

"Sister, your place is too shabby, isn't it"

"Yes, Fang Mei, how could you treat yourself like this" The mother seemed to be concerned, looking around anxiously at the shabby rented room.

Fang Mei smiled but said nothing.

In a little while, the younger brother's girlfriend suddenly spoke up, "Sister, did you have an argument with your foreign boyfriend"

She's still the one with sharp mind. She actually noticed when she first came in that her sister had red eyes, not just drunk but also like she had cried a lot.llet wound on Samba's left chest, she suddenly stopped.Her throat tightened, and she looked up stiffly. Her eyes were glazed over as she stared at Junzhi牧, Lu Qinan, and the others."You, it was you wh...
