Chapter 608 Let go of the past
In the Ou family mansion, above the stairs inside the banquet hall.
Xia Shumei's appearance, coupled with the merciless sarcasm, made Ou Dechu, who was already embarrassed and very concerned about his reputation, very unhappy.
Ou Dechu immediately mocked back, saying that Xia Shumei came to the birthday party just to take advantage of the Ou family.
In particular, he also saw that behind Xia Shumei were Xia Shumei's sister Xia Shuying and Xia Shuying's husband.
This made him even more certain that Xia Shumei was shameless enough to bring her sister Xia Shuying to take advantage of the Ou family's resources.
So, before Xia Shumei could reply, Ou Dechu immediately said:
"It's fine if you're just using your identity as an ex-wife to expand your network, but why do you have to bring your family along?
I never thought that you, who used to be too embarrassed to bring your family to banquets, would be so much more shameless now that you are old and ugly!"
At this time, Xia Shumei, who had experienced the gates of hell and had already seen through Ou Dechu, was not angry.
But when her younger sister Xia Shuying heard that Ou Dechu, a scumbag who abandoned his wife and children, dared to say this about her sister, she was almost furious.
She took a big step forward to her sister Xia Shumei, raised her finger and pointed at Ou Dechu's raised nose, and was ready to scold him.
But Xia Shumei saw this and grabbed her sister Xia Shuying, and whispered in her ear to comfort her:
"Ying, don't argue with him.
You go in with your brother-in-law first. I have a few words to say to him."
Xia Shuying has a bad temper, and her daughter Xu Zhishan inherited her quick temper of scolding when she is unhappy.
But no matter how angry Xia Shuying was, she quickly calmed down after her sister's gentle comfort.
She pointed at Ou Dechu's hand, which was also pulled down by Xia Shumei's hand.
Finally, she glared at Ou Dechu as a warning, then took her husband's arm and walked towards the banquet hall on the second floor.
After Xia Shuying left, Xia Shumei looked at Ou Dechu, who had a smug look on his face, looking at the man she had loved deeply before.
She was very glad that Ou Jinghuan saved her before, otherwise she would really die for an unworthy dog man.
She travels frequently to relieve her depression, and learns to enjoy freedom and how to love herself.
Xia Shumei now found that she could calmly face the fact that Ou Dechu might never have loved her.
She was no longer the crazy woman who was willing to risk her life to get a little love from Ou Dechu and didn't even want to take care of her son.
In particular, when she met Ou Dechu again after so many years, she saw that Ou Dechu was still the person who was jealous of her son's excellence.
Xia Shumei would start to wonder why she couldn't let go of the past and even couldn't get over the dilemma of divorce for many years.
She would even feel that she was blaming her precious son who wanted to protect her for this disgusting man.
She almost left the son whom she should have loved the most forever. She was even foolish enough to not see her son who loved her the most for many years because of the pain of losing her lover.
At this moment, Xia Shumei looked at the man in front of her, and she found that she had missed a lot, especially the good times with Ou Jinghuan.
She thought of the young Ou Jinghuan, who worked hard to save her in the hospital and took care of her every moment.
But I never received any praise from her in a happy tone. Even when I felt wronged, I never complained and always stayed by her side.
At this time, Xia Shumei was filled with regret and guilt towards Ou Jinghuan.
She wished Ou Jinghuan had achieved what he has today, and she was very proud of him.
But she knew that she had not made any contribution and even had a bad impact on Ou Jinghuan's psychology.
Thinking of this, Xia Shumei felt that she should let go of the past and it was time to come back from her wandering.
She decided to use her strength to protect her son, even if it was not great, because it was what a mother should do.
She thought that Ou Jinghuan finally had a beautiful and nice girlfriend, and her mood instantly became happy.
In particular, she learned from the housekeeper Uncle Liao that Li Chuyue and Ou Jinghuan had a good relationship, and she had great hopes of having grandchildren soon.
This made Xia Shumei's mouth curl up unconsciously. She looked at the proud Ou Dechu in front of her and looked even more proud.
Then, she complained to Ou Dechu in a calm tone:
"A man who couldn't even compare to his own son, who was so angry that he didn't attend Mr. Ou's birthday party for several years, actually dared to mention the word 'filial piety'!
I was invited by Mr. Ou. Shuying and her brother-in-law are partners of the Hongxin Group. Oh, and you haven't been working for a few days, so you might not know.
Shuying and her brother-in-law are the president of Hongxin Group, and they were personally invited by my son.
You are nothing, so if you are ignorant, just leave it alone."
Ou Dechu was hit in the sore spot by Xia Shumei, and his dignity, which was already about to be trampled on, had nowhere to go.
He was criticized by his ex-wife whom he hadn't seen for many years, but he was unable to refute the criticism because it was all true after all.
At that moment, his whole face turned red, as if he was a shrimp being cooked in boiling water, and he didn't even have the strength to flap his arms.
However, his self-esteem, which was higher than the sky, was ruthlessly crushed by Xia Shumei, and it was probably as big as a shrimp at most.
At this moment, the only thing Ou Dechu could say was that Xia Shumei had loved him deeply.
So, he angrily mocked Xia Shumei's almost crazy love in a boastful tone and said:
"Xia Shumei, I know you committed suicide for me before, and you must still love me now.
Look, I have been with Yajie for so long now, and I am very loyal to him. Our relationship is still so good. You are jealous and crazy!
So, even if you speak ill of me now, I will not scold you. After all, it is not easy for us to be husband and wife.
You still seem to have some charm, but when it comes to sex, I just want to say that you can’t compare to any woman after me, especially Yajie, you…”
Ou Dechu showed off Xia Shumei's previous affection for him, and then attacked her by saying that he disliked Xia Shumei.
Ou Dechu kept attacking the woman who loved him the most, trampling on Xia Shumei's previous unswerving love.
But he soon discovered that Xia Shumei, who would cry out of grievance and then beg him to improve when he said this before, now had a very calm expression.
Xia Shumei just watched quietly, watching Ou Dechu attack her with words that would have definitely hurt her before.
There was even a hint of a smile on her face, as if she was mocking Ou Dechu, and as if she was mocking how ridiculous she had been before.
At this time, Ou Dechu, who was about to continue speaking, stopped immediately when he saw the unexpected reaction.
He frowned slightly, a little flustered, because he seemed to realize something.
He didn't believe what he realized, and his tone immediately softened as he said:
"No, you...you are not worse than any other woman I've dated...
You are still very beautiful, you don’t look much older, and your figure is better than before…”
Xia Shumei didn't know why Ou Dechu suddenly praised her, and a look of disgust and disdain appeared on her calm expression.
"Hubby, what are you talking about with Sister Xia?"
Suddenly, just when Ou Dechu was praising Xia Shumei, Luo Yajie appeared. She deliberately took Ou Dechu's arm in front of Xia Shumei and asked in a sweet voice.
When Ou Dechu saw Luo Yajie coming back from the banquet hall on the second floor where she had gone to talk to her good sister Ye Yingran, he shut up.
He just praised his ex-wife, and he didn't know how much Luo Yajie heard. He felt particularly guilty and replied:
"Nothing, just a few pleasantries."
The smile on Luo Yajie's face froze slightly, because she had just heard Ou Dechu praising Xia Shumei!
Seeing that Ou Dechu looked guilty, she didn't know how to say anything in front of Xia Shumei.
She looked up at Xia Shumei, but when she looked closely, she found that Xia Shumei, who was much older than her, seemed to be getting younger and younger.
In particular, Luo Yajie saw the delicate skin on Xia Shumei's face and the mature and confident temperament of a woman.
This made her feel a huge sense of crisis, and for a moment she began to doubt whether Ou Dechu still had feelings for his ex-wife?
She pretended to be calm, and deliberately showed that she and Ou Dechu were very affectionate in front of Xia Shumei, and asked:
"Sister Xia, long time no see!"
Xia Shumei saw Luo Yajie's little thoughts. Facing Luo Yajie's unceremonious gaze, she smiled back generously and appropriately.
Then, without saying a word and without responding to Luo Yajie's fake enthusiasm, she walked straight towards the banquet hall in front.
