King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

"Meijuan!"

Seeing that Xu Meijuan was still somewhat agitated, I advised her again, "He holds a crucial piece of information about me that could affect my life or death. If Boss Song finds out about Duoduo's background, it will be a real problem. Don't provoke him any further."

Hearing this, Xu Meijuan finally breathed a sigh of relief... "Alright, I'll wait for you in the car. You go talk to him!"

"OK!"

......

After getting out of the car, I walked straight to the building entrance, where I saw Gao Kai looking at me with a cold expression.

"high......"

Before I could even address him by his title, he threw a punch that landed squarely on my face.

"You filthy scoundrel!"

Gao Kai angrily retorted, "You're already having an affair with Teacher Sun, why are you still trying to seduce Meijuan?"

Upon seeing me being hit, Xu Meijuan immediately got out of the car, ran over quickly, and slapped Gao Kai across the face!

"His surname is Gao!"

Xu Meijuan shrieked, "Who the hell do you think you are? What right do you have to hit people? Fine! I'm going to the Discipline Inspection Commission right now and expose all your dirty secrets!"

Gao Kai was so angry that his face turned pale, and he was panting heavily.

"Meijuan, don't act rashly!"

I grabbed Xu Meijuan's wrist and said, "Vice Mayor Gao was unaware of the situation, so it's not his fault. We need to explain things to him clearly."

"What explanation are you talking about?"

Xu Meijuan said angrily, "Let him think whatever he wants!"

"cough!"

Gao Kai tried hard to suppress his emotions, trying to calm himself down, and sighed, "Meijuan, don't you know... about his relationship with Teacher Sun?"

"Ha! How come I didn't know? Do you need to tell me?" Xu Meijuan rolled her eyes.

Gao Kai stared at her in shock, his lips trembling slightly...

"Vice Mayor Gao."

I said with a serious expression, "There's more to this than meets the eye! You and Meijuan are both respectable people, so let's not argue like this downstairs. Let's go to the car and have a proper talk!"

"What I'm saying makes perfect sense," Xu Meijuan said, turning her face away and crossing her arms in silence. Gao Kai also sighed and nodded slightly.

At that moment, the neighbors downstairs, and some residents on lower balconies, were all watching us...

The three of us got back into the car. Gao Kai and I sat in the back, while Xu Meijuan went back to the driver's seat.

"Vice Mayor Gao..."

I hesitated for a moment and said, "The situation between Teacher Sun and me was a last resort... All of this is the result of Xu Shaokun's actions!"

I recounted the entire story in detail, from beginning to end. After listening, Gao Kai was utterly shocked: "So that's how it was?"

"Um!"

I nodded: "What else can we do? Public opinion is a terrible thing! If I don't marry Teacher Sun, her life will be ruined. Even throwing Xu Shaokun in jail won't make up for the damage I've done to her!"

"oh....."

Gao Kai nodded thoughtfully, then his brows furrowed: "That beast Xu Shaokun! Killing him wouldn't appease public anger! I was tricked by him too!"

"So, what's going on between you and Meijuan...?"

"Gao Kai".

Xu Meijuan also sighed deeply, trying to calm herself down, and said earnestly, "You are a high-ranking leader, a person of importance... Can't you have some tolerance and magnanimity to accept reality? We are divorced, this relationship is over, please don't live in the past anymore, okay? I hope you can calm down... sort out your life, start over, and stop wasting your time."

It's obvious... Xu Meijuan misunderstood Gao Kai's meaning.

Gao Kai casually asked us what we were doing at Teacher Sun's house.

Xu Meijuan interpreted it as something about what happened between me and her.

"Xiao Song is innocent..."

In the rearview mirror, Xu Meijuan's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face: "It's because I'm lonely, it's because I... took the initiative to seduce him. He's an innocent child, please don't make things difficult for him, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Kai's previously calm expression turned agitated and pained once more...

"Gao Kai..."

Xu Meijuan wiped away her tears and choked out, "To be honest, you're a good person and a good husband! We've known each other since we were four years old, and it's been almost 40 years now! It would be a lie to say I have no feelings for you... But feelings and love are different. Right now, I feel more like family and friendship towards you. You're the father of my child... and my family, but you're no longer my lover."

Gao Kai's eyes were bloodshot with frustration, but not from anger; rather, from sadness...

"Isn't it better to leave each other with some beautiful memories and a dignified exit?"

Xu Meijuan choked up and said, "Why did you have to make such a scene? I sincerely hope you can get better, and that you can find a woman who loves you again and start a new marriage."

"Meijuan..."

Gao Kai said with a pained expression, "Does this mean... we really have no chance to remarry? I truly love you!"

"Gao Kai...we're all this age, isn't it childish to say things like this?"

Xu Meijuan shook her head speechlessly, then sighed: "Men and women are different... You men, if you sleep with other women outside, you might just think of it as having some fun, and when you get home you'll still love your wives. You keep things separate, but we women can't... Once we women sleep with another man, it's a complete surrender. Our hearts can never come back, do you understand?"

I can't bear to look at Gao Kai's pained expression right now...

Although Xu Meijuan spoke very calmly, every word was like a needle, and I felt a chill run down my spine when I heard it!

"Meijuan, but I really love you! I... I can't forget you! I can't bear to part with you... I can't live without you!"

I saw Gao Kai cover his face in distress, tears streaming down his face through his fingers.

At that moment, I was truly shocked!

It's unbelievable... that someone of Gao Kai's high status would actually... actually lose his composure and cry.

It's clear that he is indeed a very affectionate man!

And all of this... was caused by Xu Shaokun!

I ask you... what normal man could resist being repeatedly flirted with by a group of beautiful women?

Moreover, in a place as chaotic and corrupt as the Xu Family Song and Dance Troupe, who knows what despicable and dirty tricks Xu Shaokun might use?

He drugged Teacher Sun!

"What do you even know about love?"

Xu Meijuan said calmly, "Love is altruistic, not selfish. Love is giving, not possessing. Love is sincerely hoping that the other person is well, not thinking about possessing them... You say you 'can't bear to part with me,' 'can't live without me,' which means your love is still selfish, not altruistic..."

She sighed deeply, paused, and continued, "Gao Kai, I'm determined to divorce you, not just because you made a mistake! But... I don't want the Xu family to ruin you! Our family... is a filthy mess. Staying with me will only hold you back! Do you understand? I want you to advance further in your career without being implicated by our family, do you understand? Otherwise, your competitors will use our family as leverage to eliminate you!"

"I don't care, sob sob sob!" Gao Kai couldn't hold back any longer.

"Ahem! My husband..."

Xu Meijuan sighed deeply again: "Don't cry in front of the younger generation, what kind of behavior is that? You were the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Jiangcheng City back then, a prodigy admired by everyone. Have some backbone, don't be so spineless, becoming like this because of a woman!"

"No! Meijuan! You are my everything... I really can't live without you! Waaah!"

"Sigh! If... you really can't get over this, just consider it as me having an affair? It's not your fault..."

“Wuwu!”

......

Listening to their conversation, my heart ached terribly...

To say that Xu Meijuan didn't love Gao Kai at all would be a lie.

But this kind of love is a deep, ingrained, and more advanced kind of love!

Rather than physical, vulgar...sexual love between men and women.

Xu Meijuan hopes that Gao Kai can take things a step further... and hopes that he will not be implicated by the Xu family and will completely sever ties with her!

Isn't this kind of sacrifice also a form of love?

Just like when I was about to take off her wedding ring, she resisted a little... actually, she was also reluctant to part with Gao Kai.

"Alright, you're over 40 years old, mind your image!"

Xu Meijuan frowned and asked, "Weren't you going to talk to Xiao Song about a collaboration? What kind of collaboration?"

Gao Kai wiped away his tears, trying to calm himself down. After a while, he gently patted the back of my hand: "Take good care of Meijuan for me..."

"Uh... um!"

I nodded seriously.

Gao Kai's breathing became long, and his eyes immediately sharpened and became steady again. He took out his phone, opened a video, and showed it to me and Xu Meijuan...

When we saw what was inside, we were all stunned!
