Chapter 48: Brother Jie, I Won't Dare Again

"Brother Jie!"

Seeing that so many people wanted to drive her away, Li Xiaoya could only pin her hopes on Liu Jie, hoping he would side with her.

At the same time, she harbored deep resentment.

These women were trying to drive her away simply because they were envious of her beauty, right?

They feared she might steal their men, but clearly, it was because they were ugly and incapable of capturing a man's heart.

Why should they be jealous of her? They were just a bunch of hateful, venomous women.

Liu Jie was ruthless; all he cared about was survival.

If he left with Li Xiaoya, how would he find food?

Moreover, this was someone who dared to make him wear the green hat.

As long as he survived, what woman couldn’t he have in the future?

"I agree to kick both of them out," said Liu Jie.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoya immediately became upset.

"Liu Jie, you're actually going to kick me out? How can you face my parents?"

"If you dare kick me out, don't even think about getting your hands on the Meng family's assets."

Liu Jie was no longer swayed by her threats.

Before Li Xiaoya came to M City, Meng Ci had been like a persistent dog following him around.

Back then, Liu Jie had received plenty of benefits from Meng Ci.

Had it not been for Li Xiaoya constantly seducing him, he might have stayed with Meng Ci.

If not for Li Xiaoya’s constant hints about the Meng family’s assets, why would he have been with her?

Now it seemed that Li Xiaoya was inferior to Meng Ci in every way.

Given how Meng Ci had always fawned over him, in this heavy rainstorm, finding food would never have been his responsibility.

The more Liu Jie thought about it, the angrier he became.

Without those filters, he now saw Li Xiaoya as nothing more than a manipulative woman.

She claimed not to interfere with his relationship with Meng Ci, yet whenever there was trouble, she called on him for help, acting distant one moment and clingy the next.

Calling him "brother" incessantly.

Truly, she was skilled at manipulation.

Seeing Liu Jie's gaze toward her becoming increasingly hostile, Li Xiaoya knew something was wrong, but she could only focus on clinging to Liu Jie.

"Brother Jie, I really can't leave you!"

"I've already lost my dad and mom. If you leave me too, I'll have no one to rely on! Brother Jie, can you bear to do this?"

Saying this, Li Xiaoya ran over and hugged Liu Jie's waist.

Liu Jie pushed her to the ground without any hesitation and patted the spot where she had touched him, looking quite disgusted.

"Stay away from me from now on. We have nothing to do with each other anymore."

"Liu Jie, are you really that heartless?" Li Xiaoya gritted her teeth, her eyes red from crying.

"Don't forget, I know about that..."

Li Xiaoya was about to mention the fat man Liu Jie had killed, but Liu Jie cut her off.

"And don't forget about Auntie."

Both of them had seen each other commit murder and didn't want others to find out.

Neither wanted to go to jail, so Li Xiaoya couldn't use the fat man's death to threaten Liu Jie anymore.

Wu Shuyao also agreed to kick He Xian out, but before doing so, she made him sign a divorce agreement.

They signed the document, waiting for the rainstorm to end to get their divorce certificate.

"Shuyao, I've always treated you well. Can you bear to kick me out?"

"Shuyao, I won't dare do it again!"

But Wu Shuyao paid no heed to his repentance.

Once a man cheats, there will be a second time.

After Li Xiaoya and He Xian were both driven out, Li Xiaoya thought she could seek comfort from He Xian.

However, He Xian unexpectedly pinned her to the ground and beat her up.

"For seducing me! For seducing me!"

"Damn it, have you never seen a man before?"

After that, He Xian bullied Li Xiaoya fiercely outside rooms 1605 and 1606.

"Brother Jie, save me!"

"I won't do it again, Brother Jie!"

Li Xiaoya kept pleading for help from Liu Jie, but received no response from him.

She didn't expect Liu Jie to be so heartless.

Inside the room, Wu Shuyao raised an eyebrow and glanced at Liu Jie, who was leisurely drinking tea.

"Don't you feel any sympathy hearing those cries outside?"

Liu Jie snorted coldly. "Sympathy? She made my life miserable before."

"Now she's given me a green hat. If I felt sympathy for her, there would be something wrong with me."

At this moment, Liu Jie was only thinking about how to get Meng Ci under his control.

Then all the food stored in his room would be his, wouldn't it?

As for Li Xiaoya outside, she was the one who had caused his downfall.

It was already good enough that he wasn't beating her himself.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Wu Shuyao shook her head and sighed, holding a cigarette and exhaling smoke.

"Men are truly ruthless."

Wu Shuyao's family was considered wealthy in City M, but they were far from matching the Meng family upstairs.

She had heard a bit about the relationship between Liu Jie, Li Xiaoya, and Meng Ci.

Therefore, when they joined Zhang Mingtian, Wu Shuyao did not object.

She just wanted to see what skills these two had to make Meng Shao dance to their tune.

Now that she saw it firsthand, she found the rumors to be completely off the mark.

Even Meng Shao was not the fool everyone said he was.

At eighteen years old, he was living better than her, a twenty-six-year-old, in this abnormal weather.

It was truly enviable.

As for Li Xiaoya hooking up with He Xian, Wu Shuyao had noticed it long ago.

He Xian was merely a tool she used to resist her family's control over her marriage.

This guy wanted to curry favor with her, looked decent, and came from an ordinary background, fitting Wu Shuyao's idea of a tool perfectly.

Now that things had gotten messy, she could always replace him.

After dealing with He Xian and Li Xiaoya, the group planned to go out to find food.

Zhang Mingtian and another man from another family set out, but the other man had a slight cold and couldn't go.

Along with Liu Jie, they were the only suitable ones left.

At this moment, Wu Shuyao volunteered to join them in searching for food.

Zhang Mingtian wasn't looking down on women; he just believed that in such harsh weather, men should take the lead.

But since Wu Shuyao insisted, Zhang Mingtian did not refuse.

When the four of them stepped out, He Xian leaned against the stairwell on the sixteenth floor, looking at Wu Shuyao expectantly.

"Shuyao, Shuyao, are you going out to look for food?"

"Leave me here, I can go for you!"

He Xian knelt down and hugged Wu Shuyao's leg.

Thinking of what happened outside earlier, Wu Shuyao felt disgusted.

She kicked him away in disdain.

"Get lost."

"If you dare show your face to me again, you know what I'm capable of."

He Xian, remembering Wu Shuyao's past actions, quickly backed away.
