Chapter 38: The Delinquent Transforms into a Big Boss 

Zhao Xueling had secretly come with a purpose. 

She thought of something, and her mind suddenly became complicated. When she saw Xia Li’s distant and wary expression, she quickly explained in a gentle voice: 

“It’s not… it’s not like there are other people here, right? I was just saying this in front of you. Why are you upset again?” 

As she spoke, she found it strange. 

She knew better than anyone how much Xia Li liked Wei Tianhong. In her past life, after the divorce, she was so distraught over him that it even landed her in jail, and she had later gone to visit him there. 

Had she gone through so much that she couldn’t remember this period of time clearly? 

Why was Xia Li so indifferent when she heard about Wei Tianhong? Shouldn’t she have blushed and shown concern immediately? 

However, it might not be that she had forgotten. 

Since being reborn back to her teenage years, some events happening around her were indeed subtly different from her past life; things weren’t unfolding exactly as they had before. 

For example, in her past life, Zhao Xueling only had a younger brother, but now she had two younger sisters. 

Also, at this time in her past life, Xia Li had never fallen out with her uncle and aunt; instead, she had listened to her aunt and started discussing marriage. 

In private, she had secretly confided her tears several times because Xia Li actually wanted to study and take exams, not wanting to marry so early. 

Although Zhao Xueling also cared for Xia Li back then, she mostly viewed it as a spectacle. 

Xia Li was beautiful, and every time she worked, some young men in the village liked to sneak glances at her, including Wei Tianhong, who treated her particularly well. 

But what good was being pretty? With that dull and introverted personality, she couldn’t even speak up for herself. 

Zhao Xueling knew that Xia Li envied her for being able to study and go to college, so sometimes when she returned home for breaks, she would intentionally complain about heavy coursework and stress in front of her. At first, Xia Li would ask her questions out of envy, but later she stopped. 

Eventually, for some reason, Xia Li gave up on her feelings for Wei Tianhong and ended up marrying a delinquent. 

The delinquent was from the neighboring village, named Zhou Zhengbin, and he looked like a shady character, not a decent and reliable man. 

As Xia Li’s good sister, Zhao Xueling even attended the wedding banquet. 

At that time, she felt very disdainful and genuinely believed that Xia Li’s life would be like this forever. 

Marrying a good-for-nothing delinquent, having children with him, taking care of them, and then spending her life cooped up in this village, growing old and living a mediocre life. 

But she never expected that the shabby groom, Zhou Zhengbin, whom she looked down upon back then, would eventually become the famous Boss Zhou! 

—Years later, the street thug whom everyone despised would suddenly rise to prominence, riding the wave of reform and doing business successfully! 

Zhao Xueling was stunned when she heard that Zhou Zhengbin had started to become wealthy in her past life. 

She couldn’t believe how Xia Li could be so lucky?! 

She originally felt sorry for her for marrying a useless delinquent, but who could have predicted that this delinquent would transform and achieve such success! Xia Li truly had the luck of her ancestors! 

The Zhou family became impressive and had long moved out of the small village, living in a large villa in the city, with several cars parked at home and even a driver to take them around—living extravagantly. 

When Zhao Xueling heard that Boss Zhou spent as much on clothes for Xia Li each quarter as her own salary for several years without eating or drinking, she suddenly felt a mix of bitterness and frustration in her heart, making her feel pained. 

How could she not feel envious? 

By the time Zhou Zhengbin started to become successful, she had already found a job in the city through connections because she hadn’t been accepted into college. 

Her husband, who had just recently married her, was also a small businessman, but he was honest and soft-spoken, lacking ambition and ability, barely able to support the family. 

Thinking back, she had been kind-hearted toward Xia Li, and what was the result? 

Had Xia Li lived up to her affection?! 

Zhao Xueling suspected that Xia Li had already seen that Zhou Zhengbin had some potential, which was why she hurriedly married him, while pretending to be reluctant on the surface, keeping others in suspense. 

Zhao Xueling felt a surge of anger, realizing that her previous affection had truly gone to waste.
