Chapter 405 Who bullied you?

Disappointment also appeared on Yan Xiangcheng's face. He released his grip, his tone accusing: "In the end, you don't care about me at all! So you do everything according to your own wishes and never consider my feelings."

"Over the years, I've always indulged you in everything at home, big or small. Why are you making such a fuss over this little thing? Is it really necessary?"

He paused, a sinister glint in his eyes, and his voice lowered: "Or perhaps, you still have feelings for Ming Xiangyang? In your heart, I'll never compare to him, right?"

Lan Wei suddenly stopped and slowly turned around, her eyes filled with disbelief, as if she were seeing the person in front of her for the first time.

She took a deep breath, her voice as cold as ice: "That's right, you are definitely no match for him."

"Secondly, if you hadn't always done what I wanted, do you think I would have married you given my circumstances?"

"Also, you'd better turn around and look in the mirror in the bathroom. See how ugly you look with your grotesque face."

After saying that, she didn't look at Yan Xiangcheng again, opened the door, and walked out without looking back. The sound of the door closing was heavy and resolute.

Knowing that she had once liked Ming Xiangyang, Shen Li never felt embarrassed at all. On the contrary, she felt that it was perfectly normal for young people to have crushes.

This level of inclusiveness and clarity is something that most people cannot match.

Lan Wei went out and took the elevator downstairs.

She had just stepped outside when she vaguely heard noises coming from inside the house, but she had no intention of turning back. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, like beads from a broken string.

Once outside the residential compound, she wandered aimlessly down the street. The evening breeze felt cool on her face, but her heart felt even colder than her body.

She suddenly realized that she didn't know where to go.

This house was bought by her and Yan Xiangcheng through years of hard work, and it is their only place to live.

Shen Li had specifically reminded them back then that if they had money, they should buy a couple more houses as backup, but neither she nor Yao Fen took it to heart at the time. Now, looking back, they are filled with regret.

She never managed Yan Xiangcheng's savings, and Yan Xiangcheng never inquired about her savings. The daily expenses of the household were also vague, and they never deliberately separated their finances.

But now it seems that some boundaries were ingrained in our bones from the very beginning.

Perhaps she really should buy herself a house, a safe haven that belongs only to her.

Yan Xiangcheng was concerned about his reputation, so she used to always tell others that the house was bought by Yan Xiangcheng alone, out of consideration for his image.

Yan Xiangcheng's family was indeed quite well-off in their early years, but in the past ten years or so, prices have skyrocketed, and their wealth from back then is no longer worth mentioning.

Moreover, this property was developed by Lu Cheng's company, and they got the largest unit at an internal price back then.

This is a high-end residential area in Shenzhen; the people who live here are all wealthy and influential.

Over the years, Yan Xiangcheng's relatives have all come to Shenzhen to work, thanks to his connections.

His parents originally wanted to come and live with them, but she firmly disagreed. In the end, the two of them pooled their money to buy a small apartment for his parents in the next neighborhood.

Even though they don't live together, the conflicts between them have never stopped over the years. If they did live together, they would probably be in constant turmoil.

At first, she thought that as long as Yan Xiangcheng sent the child away, the matter would be over.

But now, she doesn't think that way anymore—she wants a divorce.

She took out her phone and swiped through her contacts repeatedly, but she didn't know who to call.

Yao Fen's second child is still young and is very noisy at night; if she goes there, she will only cause trouble.

Looking at her parents' phone number, she hesitated to press the dial button.

After all, very few people file for divorce these days. She didn't know how to bring it up with her elderly parents, and she was even more afraid of worrying them.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally dialed Shen Li's number. The busy tone of the receiver felt like a hammer blow to her heart.

At this moment, Shen Li was in Ming Xiangyang's room in the manor.

The two had just come out of the bathroom, their hair still damp.

Ming Xiangyang, like an insatiable wolf, hugged her tightly from behind and rubbed his head against her neck repeatedly.

"Wait a minute."

Shen Li gently nudged him.

My phone rang.

Ming Xiangyang didn't let go. Instead, he bent down, picked her up horizontally, and placed her on the bed. He continued to nibble at her neck, as if he were savoring some precious food.

Shen Li smiled helplessly, too lazy to push him away anymore, and reached for her phone on the bedside table. Seeing the name on the screen, she immediately became serious and said, "Stop, stop, stop... it's Weiwei calling!"

Ming Xiangyang paused, immediately released her, and the laziness in his eyes faded, replaced by a more serious expression.

Shen Li stared at her phone screen, muttering in confusion, "Why would she call at this hour?"

Ming Xiangyang gently helped her sit up and casually took a bath towel from the side and draped it over her: "You take it, I'll wait for you in the study."

Shen Li shook her head and took his hand: "No need, you can just sit here."

With that, she pressed the answer button, trying to keep her tone relaxed: "Hey, Weiwei? It's only been a short time since we parted, and you already miss me?"

Lan Wei gripped her phone, took a deep breath, and struggled to suppress the sob in her voice before finally managing to say, "Lili..."

Upon hearing the voice, Shen Li's heart skipped a beat.

She knew Lan Wei too well. Unless something terrible had happened, Lan Wei would never call her at this time, let alone with such a hoarse and aggrieved voice.

"Who bullied you?" Shen Li's tone instantly turned serious, and even her aura turned colder.

When asked this question, Lan Wei's tense emotions instantly collapsed, and tears welled up again, but she still tried to remain calm: "No...it's nothing, I just missed you a little."

Shen Li didn't believe her at all, her tone firm and leaving no room for refusal: "Don't lie to me, where are you now? I'm coming to find you right away."

Lan Wei was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It's too late, there's no need for you to come all this way. I just wanted to chat with you."

"How can things be explained clearly over the phone compared to face-to-face communication?"

Shen Li's tone was firm, "I'll give you two choices: either I come to you now, or I'll have my driver pick you up and bring you to stay here. You choose one."

Lan Wei looked up at the deserted street in front of her. The streetlights cast a long, lonely shadow of hers.

She sniffed and whispered, "I'm at the main gate of Licheng Lanting."

"Okay, wait for me where you are, don't wander off." Shen Li said and immediately hung up the phone.

Seeing her serious expression, Ming Xiangyang immediately stood up: "I'll have Uncle Hu arrange a driver to pick her up."

"No, I want to see her soon, I can't rest easy." Shen Li said, lifting the covers and getting out of bed.

Ming Xiangyang didn't refuse, and reached out to take her coat and hand it to her: "Then I'll drive you home."
