Chapter 223 A Leap of Faith

Song Xu grew angrier as he spoke. He wanted to grab Hao Ke's hair and slap her face, just like he had done before. But with Chi Donglin and Song Yunlai standing nearby, he dared not make a move. He could only vent his anger by stomping on the drawing paper on the ground.

"I never thought you, you shameless woman, would hurt me to this extent and still not give up. You spend my money every day, live in the house I allocated to you, and still think about other men! I'll teach you to think about them! I'll teach you to think about them, you stinking old hag!"

He had clearly been drinking; the smell of alcohol hadn't dissipated yet. He was stomping his foot hard on the drawing paper on the ground while exhaling heavily. His breath was a mixture of strong smells of alcohol and fermented food, and it smelled terrible. Qin Suisui couldn't stand it and quietly covered her nose.

"Nana, Nana, I was wrong. I shouldn't have argued with you. I mistook her for you that day, which is why I made that mistake. I swear, I really thought the person under me was you that day. You have no idea how happy I was..."

After he finished crushing the drawing paper, he saw Liu Na beside him and tried to pull her back: "Nana, Nana, come back, please come back? I was wrong, I am the one who loves you the most in this world! What's so good about that other person? He's just a lowly employee, and he's older than you. Can he love you as much as I do?"

Liu Na frowned, took a step back to avoid his groping hands, and nodded to Song Ye beside her: "Yezi, I've helped bring the person back, so I'll be leaving now. My husband is still waiting for me over there."

Besides being Song Xu's ex-girlfriend, Liu Na is also a good friend of Song Ye. She and Song Xu dated because of Song Ye's introduction. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, they broke up. Fortunately, this didn't affect Liu Na and Song Ye's friendship, and Liu Na's current partner treats her very well and fully supports her athletic career. Liu Na is very content.

Today, she and Song Ye had arranged to go shopping in town when they unexpectedly encountered Song Xu, who was completely drunk. Song Ye couldn't get him back by himself, so Liu Na helped him.

Song Ye nodded: "Thank you for your trouble, Nana. We didn't manage to buy anything today, let's reschedule for another day."

Liu Na nodded, patted her shoulder, gave a slight nod to Qin Suisui and the others, and then left.

Seeing his beloved leave, Song Xu hurriedly chased after her, crying, "Nana, Nana, don't go! I was wrong, I was wrong..."

Song Ye hated him like this the most, so she slapped him across the face: "Song Xu, wake up! Look at the occasion!" Song Ye felt extremely embarrassed. Before she knew that Pei Jiuyan was already married, whenever her sports team organized social events with the military or other activities, she would always try to sneak a peek at Pei Jiuyan. If she could exchange a few words with him, she would be happy for days.

At that time, like all young girls in love, she naturally looked up to this unattainable flower, not expecting to pluck him, but only secretly hoping in her heart that it would be enough to just occasionally look at him and admire his beauty.

But she never expected that because of Hao Ke, her shameful thoughts would be seen clearly by Pei Jiuyan's lover, and she would lose face in front of Pei Jiuyan because of helping Hao Ke.

She didn't expect any good outcome with Pei Jiuyan. He was the moon in the sky, and she was just a mortal. She didn't dare to ask for anything, but she also didn't want to lose face in front of him again and again!

Unexpectedly, the slap didn't sober Song Xu up; instead, it made him feel the effects of the alcohol. He turned around and grabbed Hao Ke, yelling, "You vicious woman! Get up! What are you crying for? What are you pretending to be innocent for? You ruined my life's happiness, so you won't have any happiness either!"

After saying that, he smiled and looked up at Chi Donglin: "Battalion Commander Chi, you don't know, do you? This woman is incredibly horny in bed. I haven't even touched her yet, and she's already aroused. And you don't know her favorite move?"

"Oh, I forgot, hahaha, she told me that you two didn't even sleep together after your wedding! You're really at a loss, bearing the label of a divorcee for nothing. She gave me her virginity!"

Song Xu wasn't sure if he was truly drunk and irrational, or if he was just using the alcohol as an excuse to deflate Chi Donglin's arrogance—the man his lover longed for day and night: "So what if she thinks about you every day? She still gets to sleep with me every night! Oh, and I forgot to tell you, she loves it when I slap her from behind..."

"Song Xu!" Even if Hao Ke had a thick skin, she couldn't bear it when her most private secret was exposed to the person she liked.

Along with her shout came Chi Donglin's clenched fist.

Chi Donglin punched Song Xu in the mouth, knocking out three of his front teeth. That damned brat, that brat who made him a cuckold, still dares to provoke him!

Even if he hated Hao Ke, he wouldn't be so tasteless as to expose a lesbian's private affairs in front of so many people! And he was just using him as a cover!

He threw a punch, but before he could even speak, Song Yunlai and Song Ye both screamed at the same time: "Hao Ke!"

Chi Donglin turned his head and saw that Hao Ke, who had just been slumped on the ground covering her face and crying, had somehow gotten up and turned to rush towards the railing outside the door.

Qin Suisui hadn't expected this turn of events. She was standing right by the door when Hao Ke bumped into her, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground.

Pei Jiuyan was originally going to go and help Chi Donglin, but when he saw Qin Suisui fall, he turned back to help her, so he didn't catch Hao Ke.

In just a short while, Hao Ke had already climbed onto the railing.

"Hao Ke! What are you doing? Get down here right now!" Pei Jiuyan scolded in a low voice.

Chi Donglin and Song Yunlai also spoke up at the same time: "Yes, let's talk this out. What are you doing?"

Hao Ke was already crying her heart out, her face covered in tears and snot: "Tell me nicely? It's no use no matter how nicely you try! I'm finished!"

She knew long ago that she and Pei Jiuyan were no longer meant to be, so even when she secretly copied his appearance on drawing paper, she dared not draw his face.

She had tried to convince herself that even without romantic love, she still had family, and her mother wouldn't abandon her! Her mother used to secretly send her living expenses every now and then, behind her father's back. But recently, she hadn't sent any for several months. Suspicious, she secretly called her mother when her father wasn't home, but her mother stammered and didn't give a reason.

Hao Ke always felt that her mother was hiding something from her, so she secretly asked her friends in Beijing and the same residential compound to inquire. Unexpectedly, the news she received was that her mother was pregnant! And she was already more than three months along!

They had a new child, so this time even her mother was planning to give her up!

What hope does she have left?

How could she possibly live with herself after being exposed in front of so many people by that scumbag Song Xu, especially in front of the person she loved most?

Seeing Chi Donglin and the others trying to pull him up, Hao Ke shouted, "Don't come any closer! If you take another step, I'll jump!"

"Alright, alright, we won't go over there. Come down quickly, and we can talk things over. If you want to divorce Song Xu, we can help you," Song Yunlai gently persuaded her.

"Divorce?" Hao Ke chuckled lightly. "I've only been divorced once, and my dad has already completely severed ties with me. If I were to divorce again, he might come and kill me."

Song Yunlai wanted to speak again, but saw Hao Ke shake her head. She glanced at Pei Jiuyan's figure slowly approaching from the side, smiled, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection, and silently mouthed, "Ayan, see you in the next life."

The instant Pei Jiuyan silently approached and reached out his hand to her, Hao Ke leaped into the air.
