Chapter 80.1 “Do I need some replenishment? You’ll find out in the future.”

This was a complete success, but until leaving the arbitration court, Bai Duan Duan was still in a state of lamentation.

She never thought that behind Tian Mu’s violation of the non-competition agreement was his wife’s insatiable desires…

It was just an initial love that she never thought would evolve into such an ending.

“Tian Mu seems to love Tang Li very much, but when love is so unconditional, it turns into doting and indulgence. Sometimes, it may be a bad thing. Tian Mu loves Tang Li, but as Tang Li becomes more and more beautiful and popular on Weibo, he may become anxious and feel that the only way to keep his wife is to spend money. It looks like love, but in fact, it is only greed and selfishness in his heart; Tang Li may not have no love for Tian Mu, but with his excessive indulgence, her appetite became bigger and her mentality began to lose balance. She took Tian Mu’s kindness for granted and didn’t cherish it.”

Both Tian Mu and Tang Li are imperfect ordinary people, but a marriage that started with love and ended with scars is really regrettable.

“Actually, if Tang Li had a firm heart and truly loved Tian Mu, completely rejecting Lu Shuisheng, not giving him the opportunity to exchange contact information, not taking out her phone to add him on WeChat, we wouldn’t be able to prove that this was the first time she met Lu Shuisheng. Because otherwise, from the surveillance video, we can only see the two of them talking, which not only cannot refute that the two of them didn’t know each other, but also supports that they had an extramarital affair behind Tian Mu’s back.”

At this point, Bai Duan Duan also felt some emotion: “But who could have thought that some things are really coincidental? Tang Li had a momentary deviation in her thoughts and exchanged contact information with Lu Shuisheng, whom she did not know at the time. As a result, it has become important evidence that we can use it to counterattack.”

“After the truth was exposed, Tian Mu was left feeling disheartened and eventually asked for a divorce,” said Bai Duan Duan. She glanced at Ji Lin and added, “So, Ji Lin, please don’t indulge me. If there is anything I did wrong, please tell me directly.”

Ji Lin frowned. “Have I ever indulged you?”

Bai Duan Duan was taken aback for a moment, but then her heart was moved by his tenderness.

Yes, she thought, Ji Lin had always been indulgent towards her.

Bai Duan Duan knew the significance of today’s confrontation with Lin Hui. Ji Lin had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Bai Duan Duan had intended to let Ji Lin take control of the situation, but unexpectedly he gave her the spotlight. Even now, Bai Duan Duan could still remember Ji Lin’s gentle gaze before the trial.

He had said, “The key evidence was found by you. This moment should belong to you.”

However, without his guidance and encouragement, Bai Duan Duan might not have come this far.

But Ji Lin was afraid that Bai Duan Duan would feel guilty. He hesitated and said, “I don’t care as much about defeating Lin Hui in court anymore.”

“Hmm?”

Ji Lin looked at Bai Duan Duan and smiled. “Maybe because I don’t care about him as much anymore.”

He thought for a moment and added, “It seems like I don’t hate Lin Hui as much anymore. I just see him as an insignificant middle-aged man.”

“Ah…”

Bai Duan Duan realized that she didn’t care anymore either. He couldn’t help but attack Lin Hui verbally when he was mentioned, but she was pleased with Ji Lin’s indifferent attitude towards him. Perhaps this was a sign that they were slowly letting go of their past hatred and moving on.

During the arbitration, Xie Miao didn’t expect that he would become the person with the greatest emotional fluctuations on the scene. Tian Mu was well prepared, while Lin Hui was cunning and unpredictable. Xie Miao had originally planned for the arbitration to be a tough battle. However, inexplicably, there was infighting within the opposing camp, and Tian Mu directly admitted to violating the non-compete obligation, making everything a foregone conclusion. He only needed to complete the arbitration process and then initiate a lawsuit against Mercury Network for infringement.

He thought he could discuss the follow-up legal procedures with his two lawyers after leaving the arbitration court. However, after the case was over, he couldn’t find the two of them anywhere. When he finally found them, he discovered that they were hugging quietly.

After experiencing Tian Mu and Tang Li’s mournful marriage story, Xie Miao suddenly felt that he shouldn’t disturb this couple who were hugging each other.

At this moment, Ji Lin’s face was calm and gentle, completely different from his sharp and thorny demeanor in college. Although his face was still the same, he exuded a completely different aura.

Xie Miao had never imagined that such a peaceful and gentle expression could appear on Ji Lin’s face.

The first time he heard about Ji Lin in college, he was a distant and indifferent person who kept people at arm’s length. Although Xie Miao was not in the same department as Ji Lin, he had heard of him. They said he was a very difficult person to get along with, somewhat harsh, and although he was handsome, once he opened his mouth, people couldn’t stand him. At the same time, he was very poor and worked almost every day, but his grades were very good.

The second time Xie Miao heard about Ji Lin was when he heard that he was borrowing money. Xie Miao had also come from a poor background. He started helping his mentor with programming and developing small software to make some money while in college, and his financial situation improved. However, he had experienced poverty himself and knew the hardships of coming from a poor family. Although Ji Lin was difficult to deal with in other people’s mouths, Xie Miao inexplicably felt a sense of closeness because they both came from poor backgrounds.

At that time, Xie Miao had just received some extra income, and he couldn’t resist his curiosity. He asked around and found out that Ji Lin was borrowing money for his studies in the United States, and he was still short of 200,000 yuan.

“Without money, why go to the United States? If he doesn’t have money, why study abroad? Is he going to crowdfund his marriage, housing, and children in the future?”

“This is the first time I’ve heard of someone borrowing money to study abroad. Even if he borrows the money, will he be able to afford the living expenses over there?”

“Is he trying to scam people? Maybe he just wants to make some money, so he asked everyone for loans and then claimed he was going to study abroad in the US. After that, he’ll just disappear and not pay anyone back.”

“He even said he’ll pay back the loan the next year. He’s just blowing hot air!”
