As the Range Rover carrying Ye Qilan disappeared around the corner, Su Hongxing was still standing immobile on the spot, struggling to recover from her surprise.
Who did she marry, anyway? He made quite the impression but had a terrible character.
She walked aimlessly alongside the road, feeling lost in the world, even though she had transformed from a single young woman into a married lady.
It was not until Bai Chen called and gave her an address to move to that day.
That was probably the only good thing that came from her marriage with Ye Qilan. She finally had a place to live, and could leave the Xiao family’s house.
In the years she lived with the Xiao family, she never felt like she was beneath anyone.
But from the moment Xiao Ji got married, she knew she was nothing more than an outsider.
Even if Madam Xiao treated her well, she had no reason to continue staying there.
When she returned to the Xiao family’s house, Madam Xiao wasn’t home, and at this time, Xiao Ji was also at work.
The house was empty.
She entered Xiao Ji’s bedroom, remembering the happy moments they had shared over the years.
Time passed rapidly, just like the grains of sand in an hourglass, flashing past in over a decade.
She and Xiao Ji had laid together on this bed, and they worked together at this desk.
There was a green swing chair in the bedroom, which Xiao Ji had specially installed for her because she instantly loved it after seeing it online. On those nights when Xiao Ji was busy working, she would pass time reading novels while comfortably seated on the swing chair.
Sometimes she would end up falling asleep there, only to wake up the next morning beside Xiao Ji.
With her eyes closed, she could almost hear their laughter echoing in the air.
What she couldn’t understand was, if they loved each other so much, why did they end up parting ways?
After staying in Xiao Ji’s room for half an hour, she finally went back to her room to pack her things.
She packed a few changes of clothes and then picked up her suitcase to head to the living room.
The moment she was about to leave, she knew how hard it was for her to leave.
She considered this place as her home, and when she was at her most lonely and helpless, the Xiao family had given her a place to stay. She was so sure once that she would become the Xiao family’s daughter-in-law.
She left a note in a prominent place, with the keys placed on top of it.
Looking back at the doorway, golden sunlight spilled through the half-opened curtains, casting a warm glow. The hovering dust particles in the sunlight seemed to be endowed with new life, quietly drifting in the air.
She felt like the dust in the wind, thinking she had finally found a warm place to rest, but in the blink of an eye, she realized it was all a dream, and she would have to continue her wandering pilgrimage.
The moment she closed the door, it was as if she could hear something in her heart collapsing with a thud, leaving her shaken to the core, perhaps irreparably.
In the end, she held her head high and moved forward without looking back, heading towards the direction filled with sunlight
Forty minutes later, Su Hongxing arrived at the Shallow Bay Villa.
No sooner had she rang the doorbell than a sweet-looking young girl came to greet her. As soon as she saw Su Hongxing, she smiled and said, “Madam, my name is Xiaole, I am the maid of the villa.”
Su Hongxing observed Xiaole surreptitiously, thinking to herself that if even the maid was so beautiful, how could someone like her, so plain, survive?
Xiaole was also quietly appraising Su Hongxing. She had imagined that the wife of such an outstanding man as Mr. Ye would definitely be exceptionally beautiful. She had to admit, seeing Su Hongxing was a disappointment.
She couldn’t comprehend how such an ugly woman was worthy of such an outstanding man like Ye Qilan?
