Jia Nailiang stared at Li Xiaolu in disbelief. “Are you seriously blaming me for your affair?”
Li Xiaolu crossed her arms and nodded defiantly. “Obviously!”
“If you’d treated me right, I wouldn’t have cheated!”
“So clearly, in the future, you failed as a husband—forcing me to seek comfort elsewhere!”
