Chapter 215 My Ex-Husband Breaks Down in Public
The air seemed to freeze suddenly.
Wang Lili's hand froze in mid-air, her face turning deathly pale.
Zhao Gang was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.
He never dreamed that the person selling hair ties at the entrance of the department store was actually his "country bumpkin" ex-wife!
and……
Zhao Gang's eyes swept over Li Xianglian, and he was utterly shocked.
The woman in front of me was wearing a clean and neat floral shirt, her hair was tied up neatly with a hair tie, and although she wasn't wearing any makeup, her skin was fair and rosy, and her eyes were bright and clear.
Where is there even a trace of the disheveled, timid person he was at Old Zhao's house back then?
How long has it been since the divorce?
Li Xianglian was also stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses.
She turned her gaze away expressionlessly and continued to give change to the customers next to her, as if she hadn't seen the two people at all.
Wang Lili's expression changed repeatedly.
She had heard Zhao Gang say that his ex-wife was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world and knew nothing but farm work.
But now...
Wang Lili stared wide-eyed at Li Xianglian, who was squatting on the ground looking for money.
Is this really the rural wife who threw a tantrum at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative and was scorned by Zhao Gang?
The Li Xianglian in front of me was wearing a well-tailored, light-colored floral polyester shirt and dark blue cloth trousers, making her look neat and clean.
What terrified Wang Lili the most was Li Xianglian's face.
Gone is the sorrow and sallow complexion of the past; now her skin has a healthy pinkish-white glow.
Her high ponytail was tied with a homemade scrunchie, revealing her smooth forehead, and her eyes exuded an indescribable confidence and composure.
Wang Lili subconsciously touched her face, which was somewhat swollen due to her pregnancy, and then looked at her light blue dress, which made her look bulky in order to cover her belly. A wave of bitterness welled up in her heart.
On what grounds?
Why is it that this rural woman who was dumped is now living a decent life after her divorce?
Zhao Gang was completely stunned, his head buzzing.
He looked at Li Xianglian, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes, followed by an overwhelming wave of regret.
Back in the village, he always thought Li Xianglian was a country bumpkin and not good enough for him.
But now, standing under the neon lights of the department store, Li Xianglian is even more eye-catching than those city girls.
He couldn't help but recall the time he spent at the Wang family's house.
Although he wore leather shoes and ate government-supplied food, how was his life any different from that of a servant eunuch?
With just a glance from his father-in-law, Wang Jianguo, he had to quickly offer him a cigarette; and with the slightest frown from his mother-in-law, Yan Xiujuan, he didn't dare to even breathe loudly.
Wang Lili's temper worsened after becoming pregnant, and she would order him around at the drop of a hat.
Zhao Gang was so engrossed in watching that he didn't notice Wang Lili's murderous glare beside him.
Xiao Lan didn't know either of these two people at all.
She only saw two well-dressed people standing in front of the stall, looking bewildered, especially the pregnant woman, who had just said she liked the pink one.
How can a business owner turn away the God of Wealth?
Xiao Lan immediately put on a bright smile, picked up the pink lace hair tie, and waved it in front of Wang Lili: "This girl has good taste! This is our main piece tonight, it looks really stylish with your blue dress. Want to try it on?"
Wang Lili's face turned pale and then red as she listened to Xiao Lan's words.
The hair tie dazzled her under the light, and felt more like a resounding slap across her face.
Those were made by Li Xianglian!
No matter how beautiful or tempting it is, Wang Lili would never buy anything from Li Xianglian, even if it meant spending a few extra dollars at the department store!
"No!"
Wang Lili's voice was high-pitched and tense, "This kind of cheap stuff is only fit to be displayed on the curb. I think it's too low-class."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan's smile instantly faded.
Having been in society for so long, what kind of people hasn't she seen? This person is clearly here to cause trouble.
"Hey, girl, you can't say that."
Xiao Lan wasn't one to be trifled with either. She straightened her back and said, "Our stuff is Hong Kong style. If you think it's low-end, you can always go to a department store and buy those ten-dollar ones. But let me give you a piece of advice: the stuff in those department stores doesn't have the same charm as ours."
Li Xianglian didn't look up from beginning to end, but her hands moved faster as she handed the change to another customer, saying calmly, "Sister Lan, there are other customers waiting, don't waste time."
Li Xianglian's arrogant and indifferent attitude hurt her even more than if she had directly scolded Wang Lili.
What does this show?
This shows that in Li Xianglian's eyes, Wang Lili was not even a nobody.
The humiliation of being completely ignored made Wang Lili tremble with anger.
She turned her head and saw that Zhao Gang was still staring at Li Xianglian, his eyes practically plunging into her collar, which made her even angrier.
"Zhao Gang! Are you coming or not!" Wang Lili reached out and pinched Zhao Gang's arm hard with surprising force.
Zhao Gang shuddered in pain and suddenly came to his senses.
Seeing Wang Lili's face contorted with anger, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly put on a fearful expression.
"Let's go, let's go, we're leaving now."
Zhao Gang quickly helped Wang Lili up, "Grandma, be careful. There are too many people and dangerous things here. Let's go to the building to buy something better."
Wang Lili snorted coldly, and like a proud peacock, she struggled to carry her large pregnant belly as Zhao Gang carefully helped her away.
Before leaving, Zhao Gang couldn't resist turning back for a quick glance.
Under the lamplight, Li Xianglian was smiling gently as she talked to the guests next to her.
That woman was once within his grasp, but now she's become a sight he can no longer reach.
Zhao Gang gritted his teeth and looked away.
No matter how well Li Xianglian is doing now, no matter how much he regrets it, he chose this path himself, and he has to finish it even if he has to crawl on his knees.
The Wang family is his only bargaining chip for turning things around.
"Have you seen enough?!"
