"She is a full-time housewife just like you."

Cao Xiaodong said this with a sad smile.

"A full-time housewife too?"

Qu Yiman almost laughed out loud when she heard this.

From Cao Xiaodong's sad look, Qu Yiman could guess that the lives of both of them were not satisfactory.

Cao Xiaodong opened the bottle of mineral water again and took two big gulps.

There is a feeling of drinking water instead of wine and drowning sorrows.

Seeing Qu Yiman's curious look, Cao Xiaodong stopped hiding it.

"In fact, we both worked at the beginning, but neither of them were good jobs. After all, we had no education, no skills, and we were not willing to endure hardships, so of course we couldn't find a good job."

Cao Xiaodong's words resonated deeply with Qu Yiman. Before marrying into the Bai family, she had lived a similar life, acting like a jerk every day and still trying to get rich overnight.

But her life was really so good that she suddenly became rich.

Thinking of this, she felt that she was the luckiest person in the world.

"Then what? Why did Guan Jing quit?" Qu Yiman asked with interest.

It seems that the worse Guan Jing's life is, the happier she is and the more sense of accomplishment she feels.

"Guan Jing used to be an apprentice in a barber shop, but she only did odd jobs, such as washing people's hair and cleaning. In her words, she never stopped working all day long."

"It's really tiring, and it's normal to quit," Qu Yiman said with deep understanding.

"Actually, she didn't resign because of this, but because..."

Cao Xiaodong seemed to have something to hide.

"Why?" Qu Yiman asked immediately.

"Because she's pregnant, I stopped her from working so that she can take good care of the baby. The hair dyes in the store are not good for the development of the fetus, so I stopped her because I was afraid of any impact."

Cao Xiaodong said this and sighed again.

"So, you're a father now? Guan Jing is at home taking care of the kids?"

"No, because the child...is gone."

After Cao Xiaodong finished speaking, he lay down on the table and burst into tears.

Seeing the person she once secretly loved crying sadly, Qu Yiman felt a little sad too.

"Paper~"

Qu Yiman took out a few tissues from her pocket and handed them to Cao Xiaodong.

Cao Xiaodong wiped his tears, then blew his nose hard, raised his head and looked at Qu Yiman with red eyes.

"How did the child disappear?" Qu Yiman asked in a low voice.

"Because there was no fetal heartbeat or embryo, I had to abort it."

Cao Xiaodong lowered his head and sighed, then raised his head again, his eyes full of resentment.

"I just felt that it was the working environment in the store that affected her. Later, I went to her store to find the boss, but I didn't get a penny. Instead, I was surrounded and beaten by the people in the store."

Cao Xiaodong then rolled up his sleeves, revealing the scar that had not yet healed.

Seeing the shocking scar, Qu Yiman exclaimed: "You were beaten not long ago, right?"

"It's been more than ten days, and they're still not fully recovered. These bastards, I will definitely deal with them when I have the chance."

"Then Guan Jing is alone at home now. Is there anyone to take care of him during his confinement?"

Qu Yiman asked with concern.

"What's the point of confinement? It's just a miscarriage."

Cao Xiaodong smiled indifferently.

"Hey, do you have any conscience? She suffered so much to give birth to your child, and you don't care about her at all."

Qu Yiman shouted indignantly.

"Why didn't I care? I wanted her mother to wait on her, but she volunteered not to."

Cao Xiaodong replied confidently.

"Why don't you let me?"

Qu Yiman said she couldn't understand.

"Because of money. The round trip fare is several hundred yuan, and it will delay her mother's work. After she comes, there will be another expense. How much does it cost in total!"

Cao Xiaodong said this and stomped his feet twice in anger.

"It's about money again. We've graduated for many years, especially since you two dropped out early. You should have saved a lot of money, right?"

"Have you saved any money over the years?"

Cao Xiaodong asked back.

"I……"

Qu Yiman was also stumped by the question.

Over the years, Qu Yiman has not saved much money. If she had not been lucky enough to marry into the Bai family, her current situation would not be much better than Cao Xiaodong's.

Seeing Qu Yiman's embarrassed expression, Cao Xiaodong guessed that Qu Yiman herself had not saved any money, and the reason why she was so wealthy now was because of her husband.

Cao Xiaodong grinned, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Can you tell me what your husband does?"

"Didn't I tell you? He's living off his parents at home."

Qu Yiman did not lie. Jia Fei is indeed living off his parents.

"What does his family do? If you want to live off your parents, you have to have the capital to do so, right? In my family, I couldn't even live off my parents, and instead, they were the ones who lived off me."

Cao Xiaodong said this and smiled bitterly again.

"His family... runs a small business. They're not particularly rich, but it's enough for the two of us to spend."

Qu Yiman didn't want to tell Cao Xiaodong that she was now the young lady of the Bai family, for fear that Cao Xiaodong would shamelessly follow her.

"Small business, huh~ It seems you still don't tell the truth!"

Cao Xiaodong shook his head helplessly.

At this time, the door of the private room opened.

More than a dozen waiters lined up in a long queue and came in one by one, carrying plates.

Cao Xiaodong was stunned. Each of these dozen waiters had fair skin, beautiful looks and long legs. They were the kind that would attract a lot of attention when walking on the street.

As the group of waiters walked in, a strong smell of cosmetics hit them.

It far overshadowed the aroma of the food.

"Sir, please have your meal~"

The waitress bent down and placed the plate on the table.

Cao Xiaodong stared at the waitress's body intently. Her slender waist and curvy figure made him immediately have wild thoughts.

"Hum~"

Qu Yiman cleared her throat.

Only then did Cao Xiaodong come to his senses.

"Is the beauty pretty?" Qu Yiman asked with a smile.

Cao Xiaodong grinned.

"It's pretty, but not as pretty as you~"

"Oh, men's words are full of lies," Qu Yiman said with contempt.

"Hehe, how about killing all men with one blow? There are still many good men in this world."

Cao Xiaodong actually stood up for the man.

When talking about good men, Qu Yiman couldn't help but think of Bai Yunchuan.

The man she fell in love with at first sight.

I don’t know how he is now or whether he is living a good life.

Qu Yiman's eyes inadvertently revealed longing and desolation.

"Yiman, what are you thinking about? Your eyes look so sad and melancholy."

Cao Xiaodong asked with a smirk on his face.

"Nothing~," Qu Yiman replied in panic.

It's like being caught doing something wrong.

"Haha, I guessed it. You must be thinking about a man, right? A man you didn't get."
