Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Swaggering Fiercely

Unfortunately, with Xu Yang’s response, her hopes were dashed.

Xu Yang nodded and said, “I don’t love you anymore. Our thing is in the past. There’s no going back, no starting over together. It’s impossible.”

Zhao Yulu asked again, “Do you really love my sister Yu Xin?”

Xu Yang nodded again, “Yes, I will grow old with Yu Xin.”

Zhao Yulu said, “But if you’re in love with Yu Xin and you two have already registered your marriage, why haven’t you held a wedding after all this time? Why don’t you want kids?”

Liu Yujuan had instilled this idea in her: no wedding and no children meant not loving Zhao Yuxin, just waiting for her return, ready to withdraw at any moment and divorce Zhao Yuxin.

Xu Yang said, “These two questions, you asked them in a WeChat message yesterday, and I’ve already answered them. I don’t want to repeat myself.”

Zhao Yulu nodded, “I understand now.”

All of a sudden, she seemed very calm.

But beneath the calm exterior, her heart was filled with endless disappointment and pain.

She knew that she had truly lost Xu Yang.

Everything Liu Yujuan said was self-righteous guesswork, all of it wrong.

“If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving,” Xu Yang said.

“Wait,” Zhao Yulu hurriedly called out.

“What else?” Xu Yang asked.

“I know we’re over now, but before you leave, can you give me a hug?” Zhao Yulu harbored one last sliver of hope.

“Sorry, I can’t. My hugs are only for Yu Xin.”

After saying these words, Xu Yang turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.

Those words, he said not only to Zhao Yulu but also to Zhao Yuxin.

Watching Xu Yang’s back as he walked farther and farther away, Zhao Yulu’s tears quickly blurred her vision.

…

Xu Yang got back into his car.

He picked up his phone and called Zhao Yuxin.

“Wife, you heard all of that, right?” Xu Yang said.

“Mhm, I heard it. See, I was right, wasn’t I? She did want to get back with you,” Zhao Yuxin said proudly.

“You were indeed right,” Xu Yang said with a bitter smile.

“Husband, you did well. After this meeting, she should give up for good and won’t bother you anymore. That’s for the best, for you and for her,” Zhao Yuxin said.

“Wife, you’re always right,” Xu Yang said.

“Hmph, of course, I am,” Zhao Yuxin hummed with pride, “Well, I’m busy, I have to go now, bye-bye.”

Without waiting for Xu Yang to say anything, she hung up the phone.

Xu Yang shook his head, put down his phone, and drove away.

Noon.

Liu Yujuan, along with a few girlfriends, went to a high-end restaurant for lunch.

The average cost of a meal at this high-end restaurant started at five thousand yuan.

“I only heard how delicious the food here was, I never imagined that I’d actually come here to dine one day.”

“Without Sister Juan, we’d never get the chance to eat here in our lifetimes.”

“Look at this decor, so high-end and classy.”

“This tea would be considered premium even in a tea house.”

“I heard that the paintings hanging on the walls are all authentic.”

“Juan sister, you’re about to become the mother-in-law of a billionaire, we’re all so envious.”

“Sister Juan, when you become the billionaire’s mother-in-law, please look out for us sisters.”

“Sister Juan, we’re counting on you from now on.”

“Sister Juan, can you ask your son-in-law Xu Yang to get me a job at Haidilao? I’m not asking for much, just a mid-level management position would do.”

“Of course, that’s no problem. Asking that question is like slapping my face, isn’t it?”

“Yes, yes, I spoke out of turn.”

All of Liu Yujuan’s girlfriends were divorced women.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together; they were all women like Liu Yujuan.

Ever since they entered the restaurant, these people hadn’t stopped chattering excitedly, full of admiration.

Arriving at the private room, they continued to express their admiration non-stop, all the while heaping praise on Liu Yujuan.

Today, Liu Yujuan was treating them to a meal, and they had thought it would just be at an ordinary restaurant.

They had never imagined that Liu Yujuan would bring them to taste luxury at the most expensive restaurant in the city.

Moreover, Liu Yujuan was driving a Porsche Panamera.

She was dressed in Chanel, carrying a Louis Vuitton bag.

And on her wrist, she wore the recently launched limited edition Patek Philippe watch.

This shocked all of them.

They knew that Liu Yujuan had divorced and received compensation of over ten million yuan.

But life was still long ahead, and that money shouldn’t be spent like this.

Unless she no longer cared for her future.

It was only after asking that they learned Liu Yujuan’s daughter, Zhao Yulu, had gone to find Xu Yang, preparing to reconcile with him.

They were aware that Xu Yang had broken up with Zhao Yulu and had registered his marriage with Zhao Yuxin.

Zhao Yulu’s attempt to reconcile with Xu Yang left them unsure of what to say, as they felt it was unlikely to succeed.

But after listening to Liu Yujuan’s analysis, they found it extremely plausible.

One could say that after today, Liu Yujuan would become Xu Yang’s mother-in-law.

Xu Yang was already a billionaire.

So Liu Yujuan’s future life was certainly not a problem—she could spend money however she wanted.

She needn’t care about that mere ten million.

Even if she spent it all, it wouldn’t matter.

Just one phone call to her billionaire son-in-law would solve any financial issues.

Hearing her friends’ flattering words, Liu Yujuan felt extremely gratified, her face always wearing a smile.

Now that Zhao Yulu had gone to meet with Xu Yang, Liu Yujuan couldn’t wait to come out and treat her friends.

She wanted to share this good news, to boast fiercely to them.

In her view, the reconciliation between Zhao Yulu and Xu Yang was a foregone conclusion.

As long as Zhao Yulu showed up in front of Xu Yang, everything would fall into place.

By the afternoon, Xu Yang should be at the Civil Affairs Bureau, divorcing Zhao Yuxin and marrying Zhao Yulu.

Liu Yujuan had already given the household registration book to Zhao Yulu and even told her to bring her ID card along.

“Hehe, don’t worry, you are all my sisters. If you ever need anything, just come to me. I will do my utmost to help everyone, and ensure you’re all satisfied. Go ahead and order, let’s enjoy ourselves today,” Liu Yujuan said with a beaming smile.

“Right, right, let’s order first, and chat while we eat.”

“There are so many choices for dishes here, I’ve heard that their orange marmalade glazed ribs are particularly delicious. We must get one.”

“And the signature dish, pan-seared foie gras—definitely need to order one of those.”

“And then there’s the Alaskan cod…”

The group couldn’t wait to place their orders.

Soon, they had ordered over a dozen dishes.

Liu Yujuan didn’t order, allowing her friends to choose whatever they liked, showcasing her generosity.

The dishes arrived quickly.

“This is the most delicious meal I’ve ever had.”

“Eating here is simply a pleasure.”

“No wonder so many millionaires are willing to spend so much money to dine here. Only places like this can really be called dining. What we normally do can only be called filling our stomachs.”

“It’s all thanks to Sister Juan. Otherwise, we would never have tasted such delicious food in our lives.”

“Yes, thanks to Sister Juan. When she becomes a billionaire’s mother-in-law, she can eat here whenever she wants. Hopefully, she’ll bring us to taste more often.”

“I propose a toast to Sister Juan!”

“Absolutely, let’s toast to Sister Juan.”

As everyone enjoyed the incredibly tasty meal amid loud exclamations of delight, they naturally did not forget to flatter Liu Yujuan.

While talking, they toasted to Liu Yujuan, then continued eating.

Basking in compliment, Liu Yujuan felt like she was almost floating to the heavens.

She had never savored this feeling before.

The sensation was just too exhilarating.

The thought of often hearing such complimentary words in the future filled her with joy.

It was all thanks to Zhao Yulu. If she had reconciled with Xu Yang earlier, Liu Yujuan would have enjoyed this treatment much sooner.

But no matter, good things take time.

Today, Zhao Yulu had finally gone to see Xu Yang.

Her days of happiness were on the horizon.
