Chapter 177: Beloved Ex-wife
Li Nanchen’s eyes were filled with disgust as he looked at Feng Yue’s pleading expression. His voice was filled with anger as he said, “You’re not worthy.”
“In my heart, no one can compare to her! No one can take her place in my heart!”
“In the future, don’t let me see you imitating her dressing and actions, much less find a way to lay your hands on her clothes… Otherwise, I’ll make you get lost!” Li Nanchen threw out these harsh words before turning to leave.
Feng Yue clenched her clothes and gritted her teeth fiercely. Her eyes were filled with indignance.
A cold gust of wind blew past. Feng Yue was trembling from the cold, but she gradually calmed down. She recalled Li Nanchen’s words…?Since no one can compare to his ex-wife, Wu Mei is naturally a replacement for him to relieve his boredom and not someone he treats with true heart!
With this thought in mind, Feng Yue felt much more at ease. She returned to the room and threw the set of clothes into the trash can before thinking of other solutions.

The next morning, Wu Mei carried the Snow Lotus Fruit and some medicinal herbs that needed to be dried to the garden. She raised her head and looked for a place with the most sunlight. She cleared two clean empty spaces and carefully placed the things on them.
When Feng Yue saw her figure from afar, she deliberately approached her and mocked, “Why do you need to do these chores now?”
“Looks like President Li doesn’t have deep feelings for you!”
Wu Mei frowned and couldn’t be bothered with her. Feng Yue, on the other hand, wasn’t discouraged. She surrounded Wu Mei and instigated, “President Li has another woman in his heart. He treats you well, but you’re just being treated as a substitute…”
“If the woman who lives in his heart comes back, you will be thrown out of the Li family like trash!”
“It’s good to do some chores now. At that time, you can still stay behind as a maid and watch President Li and her being lovey-dovey.”
Feng Yue’s words pierced Wu Mei’s heart and made her unhappy.
Wu Mei threw the medicinal herbs aside and looked up at Feng Yue. Her lips curled up into a mocking smile as she said, “How many days have you been in the Li family? What do you know?”
“Li Nanchen told you himself that he has someone in his heart? In that case, tell me who she is.”
“If you want to lie, you have to fill in the details, right? Looks like you didn’t take the Ministry of Defense’s training seriously!”
Goaded by Wu Mei, Feng Yue immediately retorted, “This is a secret that everyone in the villa knows!”
“In President Li’s heart, his ex-wife is the best. You just relied on the fact that you resemble her to obtain President Li’s pity and love!”
“In actuality, in President Li’s eyes, you can’t even compare to a single strand of his ex-wife’s hair!”
Feng Yue watched as Wu Mei’s expression gradually turned to shock. Seeing Wu Mei freeze on the spot in a daze and looking a little helpless, Feng Yue thought that she had dealt Wu Mei a blow.
She quickly added, “Yesterday, President Li personally told me that no woman can replace his ex-wife!”
“The person he loves the most is his ex-wife!”
Feng Yue thought that her words had crumbled Wu Mei’s psychological defenses.
Unbeknownst to her, Wu Mei was extremely moved and shocked at that moment.
Although Li Nanchen often said intimate words to her and made intimate moves, she was still somewhat touched when she heard Li Nanchen’s confession through Feng Yue. Wu Mei had never thought that she would hold such an important place in Li Nanchen’s heart…
Wu Mei calmed herself down and continued to fiddle with the herbs with a cold expression. She said calmly, “So what if I’m a substitute?”
“From what you’re saying, you probably don’t even have the right to be a substitute. President Li must be tired of looking at you, right?”
“I advise you to recognize your place as soon as possible and stay in the villa as a bodyguard to protect President Li’s safety. Who knows, he might even kindly put in a few good words for you in the Ministry of Defense…”
“As for who President Li has in his heart, it’s not for you to poke your nose into it.”
Wu Mei used the cloth in her hand to dust the medicinal herbs, causing smoke and dust to rise up and choke Feng Yue. Feng Yue coughed violently and covered her mouth and nose. Seeing that Wu Mei wasn’t affected at all, she said hatefully, “You’re really shameless!”
“In order to climb up the ranks, you’re even willing to be a substitute!” Feng Yue berated Wu Mei, but Wu Mei did not respond.
Only when Feng Yue left in embarrassment did Wu Mei look up in the direction of Li Nanchen’s room. Her eyes were filled with smiles.
