The next morning, Mao Jian returned.
He strutted in and said, "Yu Mingli, your attitude when asking for my help was quite good."
I frowned and replied, "Mao Jian, what are you talking about?"
Mao Jian scoffed, "Weren't you looking for me to buy medicine yesterday?"
I couldn't believe it. "Did you give the medicine to Ping Ping?"
Mao Jian shrugged indifferently. "She had a high fever of forty degrees; I gave it to her first."
I snapped, "What about me?"
Mao Jian replied impatiently, "Yu Mingli, can't you understand anything?"
"Ping Ping is an intern; she doesn't know anything."
"I can't just ignore her."
"After all, you're the leader. You can handle this small matter yourself."
I glared at him coldly. "Mao Jian, you're truly despicable."
Mao Jian was furious. "Yu Mingli, don't push your luck!"
I trembled with anger. "Mao Jian, get out!"
Mao Jian sneered, "You think I wanted to come back?"
He pulled out two hundred yuan and tossed it in front of me.
"Here's your money for the medicine."
"Don't come to me for medicine anymore."
"I find it disgusting."
With that, he turned and walked away.
Bang!
The door slammed shut.
I sat on the sofa, my hands clenched into fists.
My relationship with Mao Jian had reached its end.
Yet he still wanted to defend Ping Ping.
If that's the case, then I won't hold back.
A week later, I had fully recovered.
As the New Year approached, Mao Jian's two childhood friends, Xiao Ma and Xiao Li, returned from out of town.
Mao Jian and I went to the airport to pick them up.
When Xiao Ma and Xiao Li saw the car I was driving, they exclaimed, "Wow! Mao Jian, your car is really beautiful!"
Mao Jian replied proudly, "Of course!"
Xiao Ma sighed enviously, "It seems that getting married has its perks!"
"Your wife bought you a car!"
I shot a cold glance at Mao Jian. "This is my car."
Mao Jian's expression froze.
Xiao Ma and Xiao Li exchanged glances.
While picking up Mao Jian's childhood friends, Xiao Ma and Xiao Li at the airport, I deliberately flaunted my wealth in front of Mao Jian.
"Mao Jian, since you can't bear to buy a nice car, you'll have to settle for the one I bought—a luxury Benz."
Mao Jian's face turned ashen.
Xiao Ma and Xiao Li looked shocked.
Feigning ignorance about Mao Jian's financial situation, I added, "Don't take it the wrong way."
"Mao Jian used to live in a mansion and drive luxury cars."
"But after his business failed, he ran out of money."
"It's okay; I'll take care of him."
Mao Jian gritted his teeth in anger.
He always thought I was relying on him.
Now you know what it's like to be supported by a rich woman, right?
I warmly invited Xiao Ma and Xiao Li into the car.
"I've already made a reservation at the restaurant."
"Tonight, we're treating you to a welcome dinner."
Mao Jian sat silently in the passenger seat.
I glanced at the rearview mirror.
His expression was dark, his gaze fixed straight ahead.
I couldn't help but smile.
The best part was yet to come.
At the dinner table, Xiao Ma and Xiao Li asked Mao Jian about his job situation.
Mao Jian proudly replied, "I work in design at Zefeng Group, and I earn several thousand in commissions every month."
I smirked, "Mao Jian, when have you ever earned commissions?"
Mao Jian's face stiffened. "Yu Mingli, shut up!"
I laughed, "I'm just stating the truth."
"Xiao Ma and Xiao Li are your good brothers; shouldn't they know?"
Xiao Ma and Xiao Li exchanged awkward glances.
Xiao Li changed the subject, "Sister-in-law, have you reconciled with Mao Jian?"
I shook my head. "We broke up a long time ago."
"By the way, I recently got promoted."
"I am now Mao Jian's boss."
Xiao Ma and Xiao Li were taken aback.
Xiao Li exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, you're amazing!"
Xiao Ma added enviously, "Mao Jian, you must have saved the entire universe in your past life!"
"Otherwise, how could you find such a capable girlfriend?"
Mao Jian's expression darkened.
I chuckled, "He really wants me to give up my job and be a housewife."
"He says he will earn money to support the family."
"But..."
"For a man like him, it's better to break up sooner rather than later."
