A Vengeful Ex-Wife

Chapter 137 Ability To Identify A Hypocritical Bitch

As soon as Maria saw James and Alina enter the hall, she whispered in Lawrence's ear, "I have a tip for you. Listen carefully. Alina is a typical hypocritical bitch. If you find yourself a girlfriend in the future, you'd better be careful. Avoid women of her kind."

With a faint smile on his face, Lawrence asked, "Then, how do you deal with such a woman?" This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Maria glanced at the expressionless man beside Alina and answered Lawrence with a snicker, "Of course, I will give her a dose of her own medicine."

"Isn't it better to be a good girl? Why are there hypocritical women?" Lawrence asked.

"Well, that's what I'm wondering too. But let me tell you this, if you have a girlfriend in the future, you must have an ability to identify hypocritical bitches. Otherwise, your girlfriend will suffer."

Lawrence disagreed with her. "If my future wife can't even handle this kind of situation, then she doesn't deserve me."

Maria looked at him and said disgustedly, "No matter how strong a woman is, once her boyfriend or husband falls into the trap of a hypocritical bitch, she will definitely suffer. Hence, it's also a man's responsibility to identify and avoid those kinds of women. Lawrence, you must learn from me so that your future woman won't suffer."

"What will I learn from you?" Lawrence asked again in a voice full of amusement.

"I am good at identifying all kinds of hypocritical women," Maria answered confidently.

Lawrence stared at her. His eyes were filled with admiration. He was deeply impressed with her.

The moment Lawrence and Maria finished whispering to each other, they were already standing face-to-face with James and Alina.

Alina glanced at the two people standing in front of her. When her eyes fell on Maria's hand holding Lawrence's arm, she got a little confused and excited. She asked cautiously, "Maria, why are you and Mr. Lu together?"

Maria turned her head and exchanged a glance with Lawrence. She raised her eyebrows at him as if saying, "Look, the hypocritical bitch is starting with her acting."

Lawrence laughed.

Maria then turned to look at Alina and answered unhurriedly, "We are here to attend the wedding. The groom is Lawrence's childhood playmate."

"Lawrence? You call Mr. Lu by his first name, Maria?" Alina was stunned, surprise written all over her face.

Maria nodded and held Lawrence's arm even tighter. "Exactly. Believe what your eyes see."

Alina's first reaction was to look at the man next to her, only to find out that James didn't show any expression at all. His cold eyes were fixed on Lawrence all the time.

"And what about James?" Alina asked again. What she wanted to know was if Maria had already given up on James.

Maria smiled slightly. With a hint of playfulness in her beautiful eyes, she responded, "James? Well, I'm done with him. I've gotten what I want. He has no use to me anymore."

As she spoke, she looked into James' stern eyes and added, "So, I'm giving him to you for free. If you want to thank me, you are very much welcome, Ms. Tang."

She then held Lawrence's arm, turned around, and left arrogantly.

"James..." Alina put on a depressed look on her face, trying to conceal the excitement that surged up in her heart.

However, James didn't explain anything. He just said, "Let's go!"

"Okay."

The avoidance was only for a short time because Lawrence and James were arranged in the same private room together with several other young men. They must be former classmates and old friends as they had a lot to talk about.

Almost everyone in the private room knew the fact that Maria was James's ex-wife. Even though they were curious as to why she had come to the wedding with Lawrence, no one dared to ask or comment. They simply ignored it.

During dinner, all the men drank. One of them answered a phone call from his wife, who had called to check on him.

After he hung up, the rest of the men laughed at him. "Harry, shame on you. You are such a henpecked husband!"

Harry Xu was a little embarrassed, but he still tried to reason out. "I just respect my wife."

A man who looked so drunk said bluntly, "Women should always understand men, especially like James and Lawrence. They should know how hard men work to support their families." He then burped and turned to Alina. "What do you think, Mrs. Xi?"

The man was talking a lot of nonsense, but the woman beside him didn't even dare to utter a peep to stop him. After all, she was just his mistress.

Alina exulted in the way the man addressed her as "Mrs. Xi." Before she answered his question, she glanced at Maria complacently.

Seeing the complacent look in Alina's eyes, Maria rolled her eyes. 'What's wrong with this woman?' she thought inwardly.

Alina then replied to the man softly, "Yes. I agree with you, Lukas." Lukas Li's father was a tycoon in H City's catering industry. And since men were all proud, Alina didn't think it was wrong to agree with him.

The moment she nodded her head in agreement with Lukas Li, Maria now knew the reason why James had chosen her to be the next Mrs. Xi. How generous Alina was!

Maria must admit that she couldn't be that generous.

She glanced at James, who was busy typing on his phone. It was as if what they were all talking about had nothing to do with him.

Lukas Li laughed out loud and looked at Maria. Since he noticed that she had been silent all the time, he asked her, "How about you, Mrs. Lu? What do you think?"

Maria sneered.

In her eyes, he was purely looking for his death.

Of course, it was not because he called her "Mrs. Lu." After all, he didn't know the real score between her and Lawrence. There were some other reasons why she wanted to retort.

She smiled weirdly and answered, "Lukas, you are right. Men work very hard to make money. So a woman should understand if her man cheats on her."

Lukas Li gave Maria a thumbs-up sign and praised.

"Good woman! Lawrence, you are such a lucky man."

But what he didn't know was, Maria was not yet finished with her words.

In fact, anyone who knew her well could guess that she still had something else to say.

Sure enough, Maria continued, "But it is also hard for a woman to give birth. Sometimes, a woman may bear one or two children whose father is not her husband. In that case, as a man, her husband should also be generous enough to understand her situation. What do you think, Lukas?"

Inwardly, she was cursing him disdainfully, 'What kind of a man you are? You have an affair with another woman, and yet, you have the audacity to insult women aboveboard. You are such a scumbag!'

Lukas Li was stunned. He lost his tongue for a moment, and his face flushed either because of the alcohol or embarrassment. After a few seconds, he finally said, "Lawrence, you must teach your woman a lesson!"

Lawrence just smiled. "I think... Maria is right." He thought that there was nothing wrong with her answer at all.

Although he didn't have a wife, he knew the morals of marriage.

Lukas Li felt a little embarrassed. But since Lawrence was sitting right next to him, he didn't dare to say anything more. Instead, he changed the topic to divert people's attention from him. "James, I really envy you. You have found such a gentle and considerate wife."

James raised his eyes and glanced at Lukas Li. "Today is a good day. I don't want to disappoint any of my friends," he said indifferently.

He had been in a bad mood since they arrived. And now, someone was trying to annoy him more.

His simple reply made several people's expressions change.

Aside from Lukas Li, Alina's expression also slightly changed.

James' attitude and his answer obviously hinted that he disagreed with Lukas Li. Not only that, it seemed like he also wanted to teach the scum Lukas Li a lesson. But Alina had already agreed with Lukas Li just now. And everyone could tell that she was not joking with her answer. It was quite embarrassing, wasn't it?

To save her dignity, Alina tried to smooth things out. "Lukas, you are really drunk. How can someone not care if their beloved is fooling around?"

Neither James nor Lawrence helped Lukas Li. The rest of the men who had agreed with him inwardly dared not say anything either. Lawrence realized that it was their friend's wedding, and they should not ruin the atmosphere at this very significant event. So he thought of an excuse for Lukas Li. He said to others, "Bring him a glass of water. He is drunk; don't let him drink anymore."

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

Fortunately, Lukas Li was smart enough to clearly understand the situation, although he was inebriated. He chuckled and agreed with Lawrence, "Yes, I'm really drunk and talking nonsense. I won't drink anymore."

The embarrassing situation was dispersed by the new couple who came to propose a toast.

After the wedding, Maria got into Lawrence's car, and they left together.
