43. The status of first love

The man comforted her, saying, "It's alright. Xi Zhengyu was never a good man to begin with. You'll only suffer countless grievances with him."

“Go back and divorce him, I’ll support you.”

Xie Shiyu, who was crying her eyes out, suddenly changed her expression when she heard the words "I'll take care of you".

Although you are my savior, you don't have to use those three words right away, do you?

Xie Shiyu had a stress response to these three words; hearing them immediately reminded her of those pot-bellied middle-aged and elderly men from the past.

"Thank you for your kindness." Xie Shiyu looked up at him and smiled, "But I won't wait to divorce him, he's all I have left."

Hearing this, the man felt even more heartbroken.

This is such a cruel form of manipulation; even after being bullied like this, they still can't bear to leave the other person.

Are you afraid of him?

Xie Shiyu shook her head. It wasn't that she didn't know where to go after leaving him.

She had no recollection of the way back to her hometown; there was absolutely no memory of it in her mind.

Therefore, she can only stay by Xi Zhengyu's side for now.

"Then why don't you divorce him? That woman even had you killed." The man didn't understand why, if she wasn't afraid, she would stay by Xi Zhengyu's side.

Her smile is so beautiful; it's impossible to look away.

“Because he is my buyer…” Xie Shiyu replied.

buyer.

The man thought of a news article he had seen before: the chairman of Stardust Group spent 3 billion Star Coins to bid for a mermaid at the Elegant Pavilion.

I suppose that mermaid is the pitiful woman in front of me.

No wonder she couldn't leave Xi Zhengyu; there's this connection involved.

Before the man could say anything more, Xie Shiyu's stomach started growling.

She raised her hand to her stomach, a hint of embarrassment on her face. "I...I'm hungry."

"I'll go get you something to eat."

"Thanks."

After the man left the ward, Xie Shiyu stared intently at the ceiling.

His mind raced, frantically trying to figure out how to repay the other party and how to get revenge.

After leaving the ward, the man stood in the corridor and ordered, "Go and get some food."

The previously empty corridor suddenly echoed with a reply: "Yes."

After searching all night, Xi Zhengyu finally got news of Xie Shiyu and boarded the Silver Wing to go directly to the hospital where Xie Shiyu was.

He hadn't slept all night, which caused short stubble to grow on his chin, but it didn't affect his handsomeness at all.

At this moment, Xi Zhengyu's feelings were complicated. He thought Xie Shiyu had run away.

She never expected that she would encounter such a thing just by going out for a walk.

She must have felt so helpless back then, not being there to help her when she was at her most vulnerable.

For the first time, Xi Zhengyu felt incredibly remorseful. If he hadn't lost his temper with her back then, would the outcome have been different?

Thinking of the photo the secretary sent, the lively and cheerful little mermaid was lying in a hospital bed, her clothes covered in blood, and her cheeks swollen from being hit.

Xi Zhengyu felt that he could hardly breathe.

Several days have passed since that night, and he only just discovered that his little fish had been hurt like this.

I deserve to die.

Arriving at the hospital ward door, Xi Zhengyu raised his hand as if to knock, but couldn't bring himself to do it.

The man who returned with breakfast saw this scene, and his eyes, exposed outside the mask, were full of disgust and dislike.

"I wonder what brings Chairman Xi here?" the man asked, his voice gradually revealing his displeasure.

Xi Zhengyu turned his head slightly to look at the other person, then forced a smile and said, "You must be the one who saved my Shiyu."

"Thank you so much for saving my Shiyu. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me." He said, taking out a business card from his pocket and handing it over.

The man didn't even glance at the business card, and instead scoffed, "So many days have passed and Chairman Xi only just remembered there was such a person? If I hadn't happened to pass by, this person would have been dead in that alley long ago."

After saying that, he chuckled and said, "But since your first love is back, it doesn't matter if Xie Shiyu dies out there, right?"

"After all, a wife you've registered your marriage with can't compare to your first love."

Xi Zhengyu stared at the masked man in front of him with a tense expression, and for some reason, he could see a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

He ignored the other person's sarcastic tone, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open to come in.

Xie Shiyu was curled up on her side, sleeping in the ward.

She looked unwell, her lips were pale, and it was clear that she was still not fully recovered.

When Xi Zhengyu saw this scene, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He raised his hand to touch his chest. Why did it hurt?

"She looks delicate and frail, but she was incredibly brave when facing those two thugs."

"I'd rather die than submit, even if it means breaking three ribs, injuring my lungs, and getting abrasions all over my body." The man's voice rang out behind her, full of admiration.

As Xi Zhengyu listened to these words, he didn't even consider how Xie Shiyu had managed to get through that time.

He reached out to hold Xie Shiyu's hand, but quickly withdrew it just before touching her.

His hand, which usually held a pen to sign, trembled almost imperceptibly at this moment. Xi Zhengyu pursed his lips, unsure of what to say.

He will get his revenge.

When Xie Shiyu opened her eyes, she saw Xi Zhengyu standing by the bed, while the masked man was leaning against the wall.

She was also carrying a bag, which upon closer inspection turned out to be breakfast.

"Mr. Xi, what are you doing here?" Xie Shiyu sat up, looked up at him, and asked obediently.

Their adorable appearance was so endearing that it broke my heart.

"I..." Xi Zhengyu didn't know how to answer for a moment, and finally asked her, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Xie Shiyu shook her head and gave him a big smile. "I'm perfectly healthy, so don't worry about me."

The man witnessed this scene, and his hand holding the breakfast slowly clenched.

That damned Xi Zhengyu, he must have done something to that beautiful mermaid.

Otherwise, she would have said she was fine when she was clearly not well, and even smiled so brightly at him.

"I shouldn't have been angry with you that night." Xi Zhengyu sat down, reached out and held her hand, his tone full of apology.

"Feel sorry."

Xie Shiyu froze, completely stunned, as he apologized.

Even the high and mighty Chairman Xi would apologize to her?

This is absolutely fake.

Although she didn't want to believe it, Xie Shiyu still had to put on a flattered and surprised expression on the surface.

"You don't need to apologize to me, I'm not angry with you," Xie Shiyu said, showing great understanding.

Looking at her like this, Xi Zhengyu reached out and hugged her.

He then gently patted her back to comfort her, saying, "I'll handle this, don't worry."

Xie Shiyu didn't reply. I don't know how you're going to handle all of Liu Nian's schemes.

The status of first love is unavoidable.
