Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 837: Your Ex-Wife?

His fingers stopped on her shoulders and wrapped her entire body into his arms as if he wanted to fit her inside his body.

"Ruoxin…" He called her name. In the end, there was only this name that came out of his mouth.

Outside, it was bright, and time passed quickly.

Xia Ruoxin held Chu Lui's arm and walked into a high-class restaurant. At this time, the lighting landed on them; and everyone's eyes landed on her neck.

The crystal gem was definitely not a fake, and there was a diamond on her neck with an even bigger one on her ring. She held the man's arms, and her white legs carried her, letting her shine like a gem in the light.

"Her complexion is so nice." Someone could not help but exclaim.

"Her outfit looks really good," another one said. "Oh, and I know that this was just released worldwide and in limited edition. There are only a hundred pieces in the whole world, and one is worth a million dollars. It's really made with blood, sweat, and tears by the designer; which sucked civilians' blood."

"Is that gem a fake?"

"Are you serious? Do you not know who that guy is? He's Chu Lui. A few days ago, he bought this set of mermaid's tears during an auction. Isn't it this? How can such a big, pink diamond be fake?"

"Isn't he afraid of getting robbed wearing millions on them?" someone said with jealousy.

The others started giggling.

Who would dare to steal Chu Lui's items? At this time and age, money and status were intertwined. Successful businessmen would definitely have their own connections. Besides, which wealthy person got robbed of their accessories?

Chu Lui pulled the chair and let Xia Ruoxin sit down.

"What do you want to eat?" He passed the menu to Xia Ruoxin. Sometimes, he really felt that time had given this woman different things. Other people got older, but she got prettier and more elegant. However, it was also time that woke up her ugly side.

Xia Ruoxin took the menu and flipped it with her thin fingers. The pigeon-egg big diamond was not as eye-catching as her white fingers. She flipped it page by page. Under her lashes were two darkened eyes. In a moment, there was a butterfly that flew past; but when its wings opened, it fell and was disappointed.

After flipping for some time, she then returned the menu to Chu Lui. Actually, she just wanted to eat a bowl of noodles. However, since they came here, it did not make sense for her to just order a bowl of noodles.

"You order." She propped up her face and smiled lightly. Under the lighting, her lips were thicker and more beautiful. Chu Lui extended his hand and touched her face.

His fingers felt slightly cold on her skin. Today, he finally understood what ice skin was. He took the menu and ordered a few of her favorite dishes.

A waitress walked over. The whole time, her head was lowered; perhaps she was too busy and felt a bit dizzy.

"Hello, what would you like to have?" She took a deep breath and said in a professional tone.

This voice… Xia Ruoxin turned around and landed her gaze on the waitress. At first, she just thought that their voices sounded alike, but they even looked alike. Was it possible for there to be two identical people in the world?

"Your ex-wife?" she asked Chu Lui mockingly.

Chu Lui squinted his eyes and ruffled her hair. "Are you mocking me?"

Yes, he accepted this kind of mockery.

However, he raised his eyebrows.

"Aren't you my ex-wife and my current wife?"

Xia Ruoxin suddenly laughed and did not mind showing off their affection in front of other people even if it died quickly.

She was never a cruel person, but now she found out that being harsh to someone—especially her enemy—was a delightful thing.

Now, she was really happy.

She placed her face on Chu Lui's hand and then turned around and talked to the waitress sarcastically. "Why? Are you not going to go? Or do you want to sit down and talk to us? I don't mind, but it seemed that this Mr. Chu minds. Right, Mr. Chu?"

Something flashed in Chu Lui's eyes. Of course, he knew what Xia Ruoxin was doing. He just laughed helplessly. Let her do whatever she wanted as long as she would be happier and less stressed.

The waitress in front of her turned around and ran out. Her face flushed red and white until she ran into the toilet and bit her own hand.

At that point, the pain and torture were unbearable for her.

They did it on purpose. They must have done it on purpose.

However, that was her husband. That was her husband who doted on her and pampered her for four years. How did things end up like this? Why did it become like this? She looked at her hand, and the pair of pearly white hands was already wrinkled now; even her face had aged. As a result of the lack of water, being under the harsh weather, her age, and her lack of beauty; she already had many freckles and wrinkles on her face. She was only twenty-six but did not look any younger than thirty-five. Hurriedly, she turned around and looked at herself in the mirror.

Was that person who was as white as a ghost and as old as an auntie… her?

No, no, it was not. Quickly, she took out a lipstick from her pocket and smeared it on her lips. In the end, in her hurry, and with the shaking of her hand; her lips were smeared with lipstick. Even her chin had some. How was this putting on lipstick? She looked like she sucked somebody's blood.

"Li Manni, what are you doing here?"

A colleague came in, and her tone was not good at all. "The manager asked for you. Someone ordered food, but why did you not submit their order? Can you afford to offend the people here?"

Li Manni clenched her fists on the vanity table. She bit on her lips with all her might.

Hah. Valuable customer…

When she was a valuable customer, Xia Ruoxin—that b*tch—was still begging for food.

Now, everyone could bully her and step over her.

Who was she? She was Li Manni, the wife of the CEO of Chu Enterprise. Her husband owned billions of assets, but the truth was that she was working as a waitress here—an occupation that she completely looked down on before.
