Chapter 39: Jealousy Reaches Its Peak 

After waiting for another chance, Zhao Xueling saw Zhou Zhengbin coming out of a high-end hotel from a distance. 

As he had someone respectfully lighting his cigarette and was talking on a big mobile phone, surrounded by a group of people, exuding confidence and an imposing presence, she felt more than just envy; her jealousy peaked. 

She admitted that her jealousy had reached its summit. 

Comparing him to the useless man in her own home, the difference was like heaven and earth! 

How lucky was Xia Li! 

Zhao Xueling thought about how she was no worse than Xia Li in any aspect, but just because she had made a poor choice in men, she was now miles apart from Xia Li, and it seemed she would never catch up in this lifetime! 

Looking at the Zhou family and then at her own, she felt like she was living a miserable life! 

Zhao Xueling couldn’t help but resent and blame Xia Li for her cunning choice of husband back then. 

She fantasized that if she could choose again, she would definitely live better than Xia Li; it was just that she had been too naive when she was younger and lacked Xia Li’s cunning. 

However, not long after, she heard that Boss Zhou had divorced his wife. 

The situation was quite messy; in short, Xia Li returned to her parents’ home in the village in disgrace. 

The news spread with various versions. 

Some said Xia Li was kicked out by the Zhou family for being unable to bear children, while others claimed that Zhou Zhengbin was caught cheating, and Xia Li couldn’t take it anymore, leading to the divorce. There were also other chaotic rumors. 

Zhao Xueling’s resentment and sour feelings were finally swept away; she even felt a renewed sympathy for Xia Li. 

Truly, aside from her looks, Xia Li was useless in every other way. 

In Zhao Xueling’s eyes, Xia Li’s timid and indecisive personality was never a match for a capable and ambitious man like Zhou Zhengbin, who was destined for greatness. 

It was just that she had been lucky at the beginning, accidentally choosing Zhou Zhengbin, this silent but explosive man, and had enjoyed a few good years. 

But look at the present; didn’t Zhou Zhengbin just kick her to the curb? 

Look at her—she couldn’t even keep her own man! 

Zhao Xueling felt a faint sense of superiority and contempt in her heart. 

If it were her, she would definitely be able to handle that man well. 

Holding onto this sense of regret and hypothetical longing, Zhao Xueling lived in that world for over a decade. 

She witnessed the rapid development of the times and saw Zhou Zhengbin rise to a prominent position, becoming a well-respected socialite and wealthy businessman, with riches that others couldn’t even dare to imagine. 

Meanwhile, Zhao Xueling was still living an ordinary life full of mundane troubles, struggling over a few coins. 

She grew increasingly resentful and bewildered as she looked at herself in the mirror, feeling that her beauty was fading and that she shouldn’t just be like this now. 

Later, she fell seriously ill. 

When she opened her eyes again, she realized she had returned to her youthful days. 

Wasn’t this a chance bestowed upon her? Zhao Xueling thought with excitement and gratitude. 

Her mind was a jumble of memories, but in just a minute, she made the most important decision: 

This time, Zhao Xueling would marry Zhou Zhengbin before Xia Li! 

That man could only be hers! 

…… 

Xia Li, however, paid no attention to the fluctuations in Zhao Xueling’s expressive eyes. 

She put on an unhappy face, shook off Zhao Xueling’s hand, and returned to her room. 

Zhao Xueling was quite strange. 

In the original story, wasn’t she secretly in love with Wei Tianhong just like the original owner? They were supposed to be rivals. Why did she come over to actively share information about Wei Tianhong? 

Moreover, when Zhao Xueling first saw the man, her gaze had been nonchalant, even seemingly tinged with a hint of disdain. But after surveying him, her eyes quickly flashed with surprise, lingering for a couple of seconds before she subtly moved her gaze away. 

What was that about? 

Xia Li had a feeling that there was something off with Zhao Xueling. 

However, she wasn’t anxious or particularly curious. 

After returning home to cook with the man, feeling full and content, she sighed happily. She looked at the large basket of bright red goji berries, which in her eyes had turned into bright, shiny bills. 

One bill, two bills, three bills… so many bills were enthusiastically waving at her~ 

Xia Li smiled sweetly. 

The man leaned over curiously, “Li, what are you laughing at?” 

Xia Li came back to her senses, “Ah? Nothing, oh right, you should go wipe your hands first. I’ll apply medicine for you later.” 

The man’s expression immediately froze.
