King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

"I hate the Song family!"

Xu Meiling roared hysterically, "I hate my fourth sister too! If it weren't for her! I would never have met Song Hualin, and I wouldn't have listened to her evil schemes! At least... I wouldn't have died! Hu Kai wouldn't have become a devil! Brother! Do you know? My fourth sister isn't a virgin, she lied to you, she... she used fake blood!"

"Wh...what?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bo looked completely bewildered: "Fake blood?"

"right!"

Xu Meiling laughed bitterly, her face contorted with rage. "My fourth sister is just as wicked as Song Hualin! Hahaha! She ruined me! Sooner or later... she'll ruin you too! She wasn't like that when she was 16!"

"Damn it! How dare they lie to me!"

Xiao Bo was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"Young Master Song...hehehe!"

Xu Meiling, with a defiant and indifferent attitude, gave me a bitter laugh and said, "The Song family... that's a den of wolves. You really think... just because someone calls you Young Master Song, you're really Song Guolong's son? Hahaha!"

"Meiling! Don't do this!"

Xiao Xuan wiped away her tears sadly, choking back sobs, "Things have come to this... but we haven't reached the end of the road! Listen to me... since we've got this illness, let's get proper treatment, take our medication on time, and not give up on ourselves. Life... even without love, there are still many beautiful things! There are still many valuable and meaningful things we can do!"

Xu Meiling was stunned, a glint of malice suddenly flashing in her wooden eyes: "Yes... Sister, you're right! There are still many meaningful things to do in life... My love is gone! What's left is hatred! I want revenge! I want retribution! I want revenge on the Song family! I want the entire Song family to die!"

"Meiling! Calm down! Don't be like this!" Xiao Xuan hugged her tightly, crying, "Let's stay away from those wicked people and live our lives well... You can't let yourself get any deeper into this!"

"sister!"

Xu Meiling gently pushed her away, her expression resolute, and said, "You've enlightened me... If I die, it would be too easy for the Song family, too easy for... that bitch Su Xue. I hate her, I hate Song Hualin, I want to kill them!"

"That's enough!"

I couldn't listen anymore and yelled, "You keep saying you hate others and blame everything on them, but what about yourself? Have you done anything wrong?"

"Oh!"

Xu Meiling laughed bitterly, "Yes! I was wrong! That's why I died! But... the Song family are the real demons, it's Song Hualin... it was her who pushed Hu Kai and me into an abyss of no return! It was Su Xue, that bitch! It was her... it was her who destroyed everything I had!"

"What gives you the right to hate Su Xue!"

I frowned and said, "What did Su Xue do wrong? She's a victim too, she got stuck with a scumbag! And it was Hu Kai who actively sought her out!"

"I......?"

Xu Meiling froze, her red, tear-filled eyes darting back and forth...

"Besides, you don't even know what love is?" I said, frowning.

"I...don't understand what love is?" Xu Meiling's lips trembled as she stared blankly at me.

"right!"

I frowned and said, "Love is altruistic, not selfish... You don't love Hu Kai at all! Your so-called inability to leave, your reluctance to part with him, your inability to live without him... none of these things are for Hu Kai's sake! You're only thinking of yourself! Rather than saying you love Hu Kai as a person, it's more accurate to say you love how good he is to you! You can't bear to part with the kindness he shows you! You don't truly love him!"

My words struck Xu Meiling like an electric shock, making her tremble and her eyes become even more confused and panicked...

"Young Master Song...you're right!"

Xu Meiling choked up and said, "My reluctance to part with him, my inability to live without him... my inability to leave him... it's all self-interest, not altruism... I'm selfish, I've never thought about him..."

"You want to go back to Hu Kai just to satisfy your possessiveness!"

I frowned and said, "Possessiveness isn't love! True love is wanting the other person to be well! To be okay... Even if they don't reciprocate, as long as they're okay, you're happy! That's true love!"

My words stunned Xu Meiling, leaving her completely dumbfounded...

Actually, I didn't understand the true meaning of love before!

It was Xu Meijuan's teachings and Lin Lan's exemplary conduct that taught me...

In order to protect Gao Kai from being implicated, Xu Meijuan was willing to divorce him and preserve his career!

Lin Lan was willing to bear the infamy for my sake, just so that I could take back everything that belonged to me!

"I, I..."

Xu Meiling's lips trembled with panic as she said, "Young Master Song...you, you're right! Everything I did was for my own benefit, not for anyone else...I never considered Hu Kai's feelings...No! No, no!"

She suddenly looked up at me, her eyes full of wariness, and said, "Your story is the same as Song Hualin's! Song Hualin said the same thing... that we need to consider Hu Kai's feelings first! She said... the hatred of killing one's father is equivalent to the hatred of having one's wife stolen! We must first quell Hu Kai's resentment and avenge him before he will forgive me!"

"well......!"

I let out a long sigh, utterly speechless at the girl in front of me... whom I barely knew!

Objectively speaking... I don't really care whether she lives or dies. A person's karma is all self-inflicted!

I'm not a saint; everyone needs to be saved!

The problem is... her next life goal is to bring disaster to the Song family...

If she hadn't been guided by the right values, who knows what kind of trouble this fool might have gotten into!

"Meiling!"

I said speechlessly, "Objectively speaking, it's not that I'm protecting the Song family... Song Hualin may be bad and vicious, but what she said makes sense! If you wanted to avenge Hu Kai against Shen Hao, you could have exposed Shen Hao's misdeeds and ruined him! Let everyone know what kind of person he is! But instead... you chose to listen to the devil's advice... not only messing things up, but also turning Hu Kai into this mess..."

"Waaaaah! Slap slap!"

Xu Meiling slapped herself twice, crying, "Yes! I was so foolish! But... Young Master Song, there's something I don't understand! Hu Kai... is he really happy marrying Su Xue? Su Xue slept with Shen Hao too! Why... doesn't he mind Su Xue, but he minds me? I don't understand! I really don't understand! He used to... he was practically willing to die for me! Could it be... four years of relationship isn't enough to make Su Xue feel any more interested?"

She paused, then continued, "I know... I'm sick now, so it's understandable that Hu Kai doesn't want me... But the problem is, if I weren't sick, how much better would Su Xue be than me? She's been slept with by Shen Hao too!"

"Ugh!"

Before I could speak, Xiao Bo said, "Silly sister! How can those be the same? Su Xue betrayed Shen Hao... but you betrayed Hu Kai! Su Xue never betrayed Hu Kai!"

"But......"

Xu Meiling was still unwilling to give up, her eyes wide with despair: "I don't understand! But later, after I got pregnant, Hu Kai still agreed to give me another chance... He doesn't love Su Xue at all, he still loves me. It's my fault... for being so useless, getting pregnant with Shen Hao's child, but... didn't Su Xue ever get pregnant?"

"Alright! Xiao Bo, you don't need to persuade her. She doesn't even realize her mistake!"

I waved my hand and said, "Meiling! You need to realize... the harm you've caused Hu Kai isn't just the hatred of having his wife stolen; it's a complete 'darkening'! Your original good husband, Hu Kai, has completely changed. He no longer believes in humanity, understand? In this world... good men suffer, while scumbags benefit. The harsh realities of life have made him unwilling to be the one who suffers... He can be even more of a scumbag than Shen Hao. That's why he agreed to leave Su Xue if you were pregnant with his child!"

I paused for a moment and continued, "Furthermore... in Hu Kai's heart, you can't compare to Su Xue! You represent his shame, while Su Xue represents his glory! Stealing your enemy's wife and running off with your own wife to someone else—how can that be the same?"

My words made Xu Meiling panic and tremble all over...

"You...you're right..."

Xu Meiling murmured in despair, "I am a disgrace... She, Su Xue, is Hu Kai's medal... I deserve to die!"

"There's no point in saying this now!"

I frowned and said, "No one deserves to die or not! I'll just ask you one question... do you still love Hu Kai?"

"like!"

Xu Meiling raised her head, looking at me with unwavering determination, tears streaming down her face: "I'm willing to die for him! Even if it means going to hell!"

"Oh!"

I smiled wryly and said, "If you truly love him, stop thinking about possessing him. True love is about giving, not expecting anything in return! It's about knowing that if he's well, you're well too! Take my advice, stop thinking about revenge! Your biggest worry is actually contracting the disease. If you hadn't contracted it... you wouldn't hate Song Hualin. And Song Hualin's plan didn't include getting you infected. You can't really hate Song Hualin!"

"Then... what should I do? Waaaaah!"

Xu Meiling covered her face and burst into tears.

"What you fear most isn't actually losing Hu Kai..."

I frowned and said, "What's most devastating for you is that you've lost the courage to start a new life... because you've contracted the disease! Ultimately, you don't love Hu Kai; you still love yourself!"

"Why? Why, even though I'm not afraid of death anymore! In the end, I'm still a selfish person!" Xu Meiling cried in despair.

At that moment, the office door opened, and Song Huazhao walked in: "You want revenge, don't you? Sure! As long as you behave, Second Sister will stand up for you!"
