Chapter 133 The Best Way to Keep Secrets: Dead Men Tell No Tales

Xia Jianyong became anxious upon hearing this: "Why can't you accept it? This is just a matter of personal conduct, not a big deal. Why can't you accept it?"

Because he was anxious, Xia Jianyong's tone carried a hint of coercion and interrogation.

Upon hearing this, the other person's expression turned even colder.

"Take your things and get out of my house. You're not welcome here."

Xia Jianyong realized that his attitude was wrong and quickly changed his tone to apologize.

"I'm sorry, boss. I was just too anxious and said the wrong thing. Please forgive me."

Afterwards, Xia Jianyong sincerely apologized for a while, which finally calmed the other party down, and they stopped insisting on kicking Xia Jianyong out.

After listening to Xia Jianyong's words, the other party thought for a while before saying, "If you want to get out of this predicament, there is only one way: get rid of your current wife."

Xia Jianyong was taken aback upon hearing this: "Solve? How do you solve it?"

The other party sneered: "You need to ask me about something like this? Then I advise you not to waste your time struggling with it."

"Otherwise, even if you manage to escape this time, there will be another time when you'll be messed with."

Xia Jianyong felt a burning embarrassment on his face from the sarcasm.

But he was unwilling to give up any opportunity, so he had no choice but to shamelessly ask for advice.

"Sir, I really don't understand the extent of the solution you mentioned. Please show me the way forward."

Seeing his sincere attitude and the generous offer, the other party finally spoke up.

"According to you, you've kept your affair with your current wife a secret all along. How come it's such a coincidence that it's been exposed at this time?"

"Your extramarital affair, which resulted in an unplanned pregnancy and miscarriage, and the fact that your affair with your wife went undetected back then, has now been discovered. Doesn't that mean someone is specifically targeting you?"

"If you want to break this deadlock, the only way is to make sure there's no one left to verify this."

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Upon hearing this, Xia Jianyong's breathing faltered for a moment, and his mind went blank.

He spoke with great difficulty: "You mean, the dead can't testify?"

“I didn’t say anything.” The other party said directly, “I can give you some more time to deal with this, but no more than a week. Think it over carefully.”

Xia Jianyong walked out of the other party's house in a daze.

He stood in the night, letting the night wind blow over his body.

Even though it was already summer, he couldn't help but shiver.

When Xia Jianyong returned home, Li Rouyue greeted him.

"Why are you so late today? Did you encounter any difficulties at work?" Li Rouyue asked softly, her gentle gaze making Xia Jianyong's thoughts even more complicated.

He and Li Rouyue grew up together, and naturally they ended up together as adults.

Later, he became interested in Xia Qingqing's wealth and power, so he broke up with Li Rouyue and devoted himself to pursuing Xia Qingqing.

But Li Rouyue was deeply in love with him and couldn't bear to give him up, so she waited for him silently.

She didn't bother him, but every day she would wait in a place where she could see him, take a peek at him from afar, and then leave silently.

He was deeply moved when he found out.

By then, Xia Jianyong had already won over Xia Qingqing and made her fall in love with him.

Xia Qingqing is a proud daughter of heaven, independent, self-reliant, confident and strong.

She loved him, but she didn't blindly follow him.

She has her own style of doing things and her own pace of doing things, and he can't influence her at all.

Not to mention getting her to listen to him and obey his every word.

It was at that time that he realized that even if he married into the Xia family and won Xia Qingqing's heart, he would still have no chance of getting the Xia family.

Because both the old immortal and Xia Qingqing are very strong and can manage the Xia family in an orderly manner.

They would never listen to him, much less hand over the Xia family to him.

Just then, someone approached him, saying they wanted to collaborate with him.

The cooperation was simple: he helped the other party kill the old man, and the other party helped him obtain the Xia family.

He was tempted by the prospect of making money.

In the end, he succeeded.

He first killed the old bastard, then threw away Xia Yuhuan, the illegitimate child he had with Xia Qingqing, and then, taking advantage of Xia Qingqing's search for someone, he also killed Xia Qingqing.

After acquiring the Xia family, he couldn't wait to marry Li Rouyue, making her his second wife.

Over the years, Li Rouyue has always been gentle and caring towards him, taking care of his emotions and daily life.

No matter how tired or exhausted he was outside, as long as he returned home, Li Rouyue would do everything she could to help him relax and make him happy.

Whether it's physical pleasure or emotional comfort, Li Rouyue can satisfy him.

Therefore, he had genuine feelings for Li Rouyue.

But right now, Li Rouyue has become a stumbling block to his progress.

If Li Rouyue is spared, it means this matter could ruin him, and he might end up with nothing.

If he gets rid of Li Rouyue, it means he will never have a woman like Li Rouyue again, who is so devoted to him.

This left Xia Jianyong in a dilemma, unable to make a decision.

Suddenly, the man's words came to mind.

"You can find another woman if you lose her, but if you lose your future, you lose everything."

Xia Jianyong's hesitant heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He can find another woman if he loses her, but if he loses his future, won't all his efforts over the past years have been in vain?

Xia Jianyong's heart hardened instantly...

Just then, Xia Jianyong felt a slight softness on his forehead.

Coming to his senses, he saw Li Rouyue reaching out to touch his forehead, her face full of worry.

"Brother Yong, what's wrong? You look terrible. Are you feeling unwell?"

"Do you want me to go to the hospital with you to get checked out?"

Li Rouyue's gentle demeanor was tinged with urgency, and her concern for Xia Jianyong was evident in her words.

Xia Jianyong's newly made decision immediately began to waver.

There are indeed many women in this world, but there is only one Li Rouyue.

If Li Rouyue dies, there will never be another woman who treats him with the same sincerity.

Xia Jianyong reached out and grabbed Li Rouyue's hand, kissed it, and whispered, "I'm fine, I'm just a little busy and tired today."

"Are you tired? Let me give you a massage. You know I specially learned massage for you, and I'm pretty good at it," Li Rouyue said hurriedly.

She didn't know why, but she felt uncontrollably uneasy when Xia Jianyong stared at her.

There's always this terrifying feeling of being targeted by a wild beast, with the possibility of being devoured at any moment.

Li Rouyue immediately realized that Xia Jianyong might have some ulterior motives or bad intentions towards her.

I'm just struggling and feeling lost.

That's why she intervened in time to interrupt Xia Jianyong's thoughts and decisions.

Sure enough, after she interrupted him, Xia Jianyong's gaze softened.

At this point, she mentioned that she had specially learned massage for Xia Jianyong, just to remind him of her kindness.

After all, Xia Jianyong is a selfish, cold-blooded, and ruthless person. Even if he has some feelings for her, he would never consider her if anything threatened his own life.

He only puts himself first.

However, she had been with him for many years and believed that she knew him very well and that she could control him, so she wasn't that afraid.

"Don't be so busy. You work so hard every day. Come, sit next to me and let's chat. It's been so long since we, as husband and wife, have sat down together and had a proper talk," Xia Jianyong said in a low voice.

Li Rouyue let him pull her towards the sofa, obediently replying, "Okay, I'll do whatever Brother Yong says."

He was secretly pleased with himself: Look, she's got him wrapped around her little finger.

So even if a man is a bit bad, it doesn't matter, as long as he has the ability to give her a good life and she has the ability to control him, they can make it work.

Some men are honest and simple, not bad at all, but they are incompetent and useless, unable to satisfy her yearning and pursuit of a good life.

Therefore, she and Xia Jianyong are a match made in heaven.

Xia Jianyong is capable enough to provide her with a good life, and she is capable enough to control Xia Jianyong and ensure her own good life—that's enough.
