Chapter 155: The Melon of the Minister of Industry’s Son

System: [System, you guessed it right! Let me explain in detail...]

Xiaoya stood by the window, feeling mixed emotions. She heard the shocking conversation, and her peaceful life seemed to have been bombarded with a heavy bomb. She never thought that the man she loved deeply, Xiangbei, had such a secret past.

This woman is more than ten years older than Xiangbei, but he has been in a long-term relationship with her. And Xiangbei has been hiding all this from her. Xiaoya feels like her heart is being torn apart. She has always thought that she is the only one for Xiangbei, but she never thought that he already has someone in his heart.

The conversation between Xiangbei and the woman was like an icy arrow, piercing Xiaoya's heart. She heard the helplessness and compromise in Xiangbei's voice, and felt his struggle and pain. At the same time, she also heard the threats and coercion of the woman, and her words revealed her control over Xiangbei and the temptation of money. Xiangbei also agreed to break off the relationship with Xiaoya immediately.

Xiaoya gradually realized that she was just a brief episode in Xiangbei's life. The woman was the main theme of his life. She used money and power to bind Xiangbei tightly, making him unable to break free.

Anger burned in Xiaoya's heart, she could no longer tolerate such betrayal and deception, so she rushed into the house without hesitation, determined to face it all and seek justice for herself.

Xiaoya's appearance shocked the two people in the room. Her eyes were firm and angry, as if she wanted to tear apart all the lies and hypocrisy. She stared straight at Xiangbei, her voice trembling but full of power: "Is this the love you give me? A love woven with lies and betrayal?"

Xiangbei was stunned. Facing Xiaoya's sudden anger and determination, he felt an indescribable panic. He wanted to explain, and his lips moved a few times, but he found himself speechless. Any words seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.

Xiaoya's eyes flashed with determination. She raised her hand and slapped Xiangbei hard. The crisp sound echoed in the room, accompanied by Xiaoya's angry curse: "I don't want this bastard anymore, I give it to you!" Her voice was full of disappointment and determination, as if she wanted to completely abandon this painful relationship.

The woman's face turned pale after hearing this. She was also shocked by Xiaoya's courage and determination. She turned to Xiangbei and slapped him hard in the face. She turned her head away angrily and said in a cold and angry voice: "Look at what you have done!"

Xiangbei stood there in a daze, his left cheek was burning with pain, but what hurt more was his heart. He knew that he had deeply hurt Xiaoya and also destroyed the relationship between him and this woman.

Xiaoya turned and left the room full of lies and betrayal. She decided to start her life again.

The system told Nan Rongxi the entire story in detail without reservation, and the many officials standing below also heard it clearly and vividly.

Nan Rongxi was furious after hearing this: [This Xiangbei is simply a complete scumbag! ]

Officials: What this person did is really disgusting!

At this moment, Xiang Bei was standing aside, trembling all over, his face as pale as paper. He knew very well that he had become the target of public criticism, and Sima Kong had already locked his sights on him.

The Censorate is preparing to launch a thorough investigation on him, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to escape the blame.

The system's voice sounded again: [Xizi, there is still a big melon, do you want to eat it? ]

Nan Rongxi nodded: [Tongzi, it’s a must, if there is any melon, please eat it as much as you can! ]

System: [Come! I will continue to tell you a funny story! This is a story about the son of the Minister of Revenue! ]

All the officials calmed down again. The amount of information today was really huge.

The system continued: [Recently, the son of the Minister of Industry used his eloquence to make a lot of money! ]

The Minister of Works was also confused when he heard this. How come he didn't know what his son had done?

Nan Rongxi: [This is so cool, Tongzi, tell me more about it, what is this melon! ]

System: [Just over a week ago, Fu Lei, the son of the Minister of Industry, was holding a docile little donkey in one hand and a simple cart in the other, originally planning to go to the market to buy some daily necessities. The morning sun shone on his face, which was toughened by the years but still tough, reflecting his simple and hardworking character.

As he was walking leisurely, an old lady hurried over from the side road and blocked his way with an expectant look on her face. The old lady pointed at a heavy stone mill and asked Fu Lei tentatively: "Do you want this stone mill? You can take it for 100 coins."

Fu Lei glanced at the stone mill. Although it looked of good quality, the purpose of his trip was not to purchase such heavy objects, so he shook his head slightly, indicating that he had no intention of buying it.

The old lady didn't seem discouraged. She continued eagerly, "Then I'll give you 80 cents and you can help me take this millstone away and throw it away, okay?" Her tone revealed an urgency to get rid of it.

Hearing this proposal, Fu Lei's heart moved. He was going to the market anyway, and he could earn 80 coins by helping to throw away the stone mill. Why not? Such a good thing was like pie in the sky for him.

So he readily agreed to the old lady's request and carefully moved the millstone onto the cart. The little donkey seemed to be aware of the additional weight, but it continued to move forward obediently.

Fu Lei was driving his donkey while thinking about this unexpected gain. Suddenly, an old man who was trying to scam people rushed out. Fu Lei quickly grabbed the donkey, and the old man lay on the ground, pretending to be injured. It was obvious that he was scamming people.

Fu Lei cursed: "You bastard, you actually tried to scam me!"

"I won't get up without 1 tael of silver today!"

The uncle squinted his eyes and spoke slowly.

Fu Lei angrily scolded: "Do you know what I am carrying in my car? If there is any damage to the antique in my car, you can't even afford to pay for it. You are dreaming!"

The uncle looked at the stone mill on the car and said: "Don't fool me, this is obviously a broken stone mill, this thing is not worth anything!"

Nan Rongxi became more and more excited as he listened: [Tongzi, I understand now. Fu Lei sold this stone mill to this fraudulent uncle and made money, right? ]

When all the officials heard this, they immediately felt that the son of the Minister of Works was quite deceitful, just like his father!

System: [It’s not that simple. Let me explain it to you slowly! ]
