Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 812: Chapter 786: Eventually Becoming the Past

“Since I’ve already started a new life, there’s no need to dwell on the past or be happy or sad about things that happened before. What’s done is done, and the unpleasant things from the past can no longer bother me. I need to live up to my present life. I don’t hate you, and there’s nothing I have to say to you. It’s all in the past now.”

These words hit Ma Lu hard, causing him more pain than even Liu Mei’s kick.

A woman’s growth can happen in just a second. Before, Liu Mei didn’t understand emotions. After meeting Fu Gui, she realized that real emotions should have interaction, and one’s efforts should be cherished by others.

What Ma Lu had done before, using a cold attitude as bait, could not be considered real love. Right or wrong didn’t matter anymore since this person was no longer important. Men think that the only thing that can hurt a woman is emotions, but as long as a woman doesn’t care about that relationship, who can hurt her?

Liu Mei understood this under the guidance of a psychiatrist and a top psychologist, but Ma Lu still didn’t. He couldn’t comprehend why the things he thought were right suddenly became wrong.

The car left, and Ma Lu stood there blankly, his heart aching from Liu Mei’s casual remark.

Was he part of the past now?

He hadn’t even noticed when Yu Minglang appeared with others beside him.

“You don’t need to come for an interview anymore. The Yu Clan doesn’t need an employee like you,” Yu Minglang said emotionlessly.

In fact, he had seen everything clearly through the telescope from the moment Fu Gui drove over; he just hadn’t come out.

He even saw how his daughter-in-law sat in the car with her chin propped up, watching the show.

“You’ve been playing cat and mouse with us all along, fooling us. You saw us early on, so why didn’t you come over and meet us?” Ma Lu protested weakly against Yu Minglang, feeling deflated like a punctured leather ball.

Something in his heart seemed vague and elusive, but he couldn’t quite express it.

“Ma Lu, you’re a smart man, but you’re too clever for your own good. The Yu Clan is not suitable for you.”

Yu Minglang didn’t feel like kicking a man when he was down. His tone now softened.

“I don’t accept it. Why?”

“You really don’t understand why I didn’t bring people out just now, do you? I’ll give you the answer now.”

Yu Minglang reached out, and one of his men handed over the communication equipment. Yu Minglang dialed Xiao Qian’s number and put it on speakerphone.

“Xiao Mei, are they still in your car?”

“Yes.”

“Is there any food in the car? Bread and sausage?”

Upon hearing about the food, Ma Lu swallowed. They were indeed hungry, and even the mere mention of food made their stomachs growl.

“Yes.” Xiao Qian was very clever and knew she shouldn’t talk too much at this time.

“Go, give them something to eat. Ask them if they want to eat. If they say they don’t want to, eat it in front of them and ask them about their old unit, such as the mine’s output, profits, etc.”

Ma Lu could clearly hear through the speakerphone that Xiao Qian asked the people in the car if they wanted to eat.

“Can you tell us about your old unit? Don’t worry, no one can see you here, and you’ve left your old unit anyway, haven’t you?” Xiao Qian’s voice sounded like a gentle siren, captivating the listener.

“You really don’t want to eat? These sausages are so delicious, all meat. And this bread is good too. If you don’t want to eat, at least have some water, okay?”

For every question Xiao Qian asked, Ma Lu’s stomach growled in response. He began to think about what he would do if he were in their position.

“They don’t want to eat,” Xiao Qian reported to Yu Minglang with a monologue-like style after asking everyone.

“Drop them off at the corner and tell them that they’ve passed the assessment.”

“Understood.”

Yu Minglang finished the matter and hung up the phone without even asking why Xiao Qian was there or how he knew the people were in her car. This was their tacit understanding.

“Do you understand now? Even after leaving their old unit, they still maintain a contract spirit and remain tight-lipped. This is the kind of talent we need, and you’re not suitable.”

The words “you’re not suitable” weighed heavily on Ma Lu’s heart.

Yu Minglang didn’t make any excessive personal attacks on him. He only made three accurate assessments, but Ma Lu was still triggered.

“I still don’t accept it! You and your wife plotted against me! That’s right, you planned everything together just to exclude me and deliberately arranged it.”

Yu Minglang looked at him with an almost contemptuous gaze, and it took a while before he spoke again.

“In your heart, you’re too fond of materializing things. Marriage in your eyes is just about money and interests. You only care about whether the woman can bring you wealth but never consider if you’re truly compatible. In your eyes, the world has a clear price. I can’t say your way of thinking is wrong, but if it were you in the car just now, you would have spilled everything you knew by now.”

Ma Lu stood there, not knowing whether he understood Yu Minglang’s words or not. He seemed completely stupefied.

Yu Minglang’s words had struck a chord in his heart.
