Roses in Flames

Fu Shili did have some feelings for Ye Yuntang.

He was hanging from a tree, nearly disfigured by bats, and felt as if he had fallen into an abyss.

Just when he was at his lowest point of despair, he suddenly saw Ye Yuntang appear.

She is beautiful and cool, aloof and proud.

He seemed to see an angel.

The feelings he had always ignored resurfaced.

"Honey, when I was feeling most helpless and panicked, all I could think about was you. I let you down before, it was my fault. I promise I will never cheat on you again, and you will be the only one in my eyes and heart."

Xiao Lin and Cheng Lei and the others fell silent.

Xiao Lin's dark, narrow eyes swept over Ye Yuntang.

Ye Yuntang didn't notice Xiao Lin's expression. She looked at Fu Shili, who was in tears and looking very affectionate, and took long strides toward him.

Cheng Lei lowered his voice and said, "Sister Yuntang wouldn't want to go back to her ex, would she?"

The atmosphere in the air became extremely quiet for a moment.

All eyes turned to Ye Yuntang and Fu Shili.

When Fu Shili saw Ye Yuntang walking towards him, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. "Wife, we grew up together as childhood sweethearts. If there were no feelings between us, you wouldn't have married me. I swear to God, I will definitely treat you well from now on—"

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp cracking sound rang out.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuntang slapped Fu Shili across the face cleanly and decisively.

"Can you please stop embarrassing yourself in front of my colleagues? I'm not a trash can; I won't accept trash who was once so cuckolded that it made me glow. And stop using your cheap acting to disgust people."

"What feelings? You don't actually think I can't forget you, do you? Your skin must be made of bulletproof vest. If I couldn't forget you, I wouldn't always assume it was you who died before every autopsy."

"Although you said you wouldn't cheat on me again, I'm sorry, but every time I get close to you, I smell the stench of a scumbag."

Fu Shili didn't expect Ye Yuntang to give him no face at all, scolding him so harshly in front of so many people.

He opened his mouth, about to say something, when Ye Yuntang's sharp gaze swept over him again. "Compared to the harm Bai Chuwei caused me as a mistress, I think you, as a man, are even more despicable. Bai Chuwei miscarried and almost lost her life, and you didn't even go to the hospital to see her. After learning that she couldn't conceive again, you went out drinking. Now you're even coming to your ex-wife begging to get back together. In your eyes, is a woman's only valuable asset her uterus? A rotten person like you, lacking any sense of responsibility, always wanting more than you have—I must have been blind to marry you!"

"To be honest, having an ex-husband like you makes me feel ashamed, like I have a criminal record! From now on, we'll each go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other!"

Ye Yuntang's words came out like a barrage of bullets, leaving everyone present speechless.

Cheng Lei and the others exchanged glances, even holding their breath, afraid of getting into trouble.

Xiao Lin, on the other hand, had deep-set eyes and a complex expression.

Fu Shili slumped to the ground, his face draining of color. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

Even Sun Hao, who was handcuffed, couldn't help but want to applaud Ye Yuntang.

"Public officials have the right values. My girlfriend used to have the same values ​​as you, but she was led astray by Bai Chuwei and Fu Shili."

Ye Yuntang narrowed her beautiful eyes as she looked at Sun Hao.

Is his girlfriend morally upright?

At Grandpa Fu's birthday banquet, Liu Qianqian was the one with the most skewed values.

"Why do you hate Bai Chuwei and Fu Shili so much?" Ye Yuntang asked.

Sun Hao's face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth, "Because they deserve to die!"

Liu Qianqian comes from a poor family: a sick mother, a gambling father, and a mischievous younger brother.

To pay off her debts, she was forced to work at a karaoke bar.

He still remembers the first time he met Liu Qianqian at a karaoke bar.

The other "princesses" were all very enthusiastic and generous, but she sat quietly in the corner, not vying for anything.

She could tell he was in a bad mood, so she sat down next to him and sang with him.

He made her drink, and she drank until she vomited, without uttering a single complaint.

He later learned that it was her period that day.

After feeling pity for her, he would occasionally go to the karaoke bar to find her.

At that time, his family's house was demolished and he had money. He saw that she was drinking herself into a stomach hemorrhage in order to earn money, so he took out money to help her family pay off their debts.

He even paid for her to finish college.

After graduating from university, she moved in with him and gave him her virginity.

He was really touched at the time. He never expected that she, who had worked as a hostess at a KTV, could still keep her innocence.

He vowed to cherish and love her even more.

He had always dreamed of the day when the two of them would become a couple, but suddenly his family suffered a tragedy. His parents passed away one after another, and the money from the demolition compensation was all spent.

After attending a high school reunion, Liu Qianqian said that her best friend Bai Chuwei had introduced her to a job.

At that time, he didn't think much of it, but after Liu Qianqian started working at the Fu Group, she often stayed out all night.

He called her, and she always said she was working overtime.

Once, when she went out for a social event, he secretly followed her.

He was furious to see her being forced to drink by several men and verbally harassed.

That evening, when she came home, he had a big fight with her.

He wanted her to quit her job, but she hesitated and stammered for a long time before finally revealing the real reason.

Her best friend, Bai Chuwei, felt that he was not good enough for her. With her looks, figure, and abilities, she could easily find a man as outstanding and wealthy as Fu Shili.

She didn't want her best friend Bai Chuwei to look down on their love, so she wanted to earn more money so that she and he could live a good life in the future.

Seeing how hard she worked for their future, he also took on several part-time jobs.

Delivering food, driving for Didi (a ride-hailing service), training birds—

He thought he had worked hard enough and that Bai Chuwei would stop talking badly about him. Unexpectedly, Bai Chuwei still told Liu Qianqian that he was not ambitious enough, had too low an education, and was from the bottom class. She said that he had only benefited from being a recipient of land expropriation compensation, which was why she, a beautiful flower, was stuck in cow dung.

Not only that, Bai Chuwei also took her to high-end banquets, gave her designer bags and dresses, and wanted to pull her into the circle of the wealthy.

When Liu Qianqian broke up with him, she was in tears.

She said she really loved him, but if she didn't break up with him, Bai Chuwei would stop being her best friend. She didn't want to lose her best friend or her job, so she had no choice but to break up with him, even though it hurt.

He was so angry, so resentful, and so distressed.

If Bai Chuwei hadn't instigated and forced Liu Qianqian to leave him, Liu Qianqian wouldn't have broken up with him.

"Bai Chuwei is shameless of herself for becoming a mistress, and she even tried to corrupt Qianqian. A woman like Bai Chuwei doesn't deserve to be a mother!"

"And then there's Fu Shili, who, relying on his measly money, forced Qianqian to attend social events and even tried to introduce her to rich men. I didn't kill them outright because I had a conscience!"

As Sun Hao continued speaking, he became increasingly agitated, and suddenly—
