Ning Nanxue and Fu Chen's five-year marriage
was maintained through the complete trampling of her physical and mental dignity.
She thought that even without love, there should at le...
"Ah——!" She let out a shrill scream, stretched out her arms, and swept everything on the dressing table to the ground.
The expensive perfume shattered with a loud clatter, and glass fragments and liquids of various colors splashed everywhere.
The room was suddenly filled with a mixed, strong and pungent aroma.
The mirror reflected her face, twisted and distorted by anger and unwillingness. She hated herself in the mirror, and she hated Ning Nanxue even more! How could that woman get everything!
She was like a madman. She grabbed a heavy crystal swan ornament on the dressing table and used all her strength to smash it hard at the huge dressing mirror in front of her!
"Bang!" With a deafening bang, the mirror cracked. The spider-web-like cracks spread rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, it could not hold on any longer. With a "crash", the entire mirror shattered completely. Countless lenses of different sizes fell on the carpet and the wreckage of the dressing table like hail.
A sharp lens bounced up and scratched her palm squarely. Blood gushed out instantly, staining her fair skin red.
But she seemed to feel no pain at all and just stood there blankly.
She slowly raised her bleeding palm and watched the bright red blood droplets dripping down. Her eyes were empty, but the corners of her mouth slowly opened into a strange smile with a hint of destructive pleasure.
Just when Su Yao was on the verge of complete collapse, the screen of her personal mobile phone on the bedside table lit up, indicating that a new email had been received.
The sender's name was the private detective he had sent out.
Her heart suddenly sank, as if being gripped by an invisible hand. She crawled to the bedside, almost on her hands and knees, picked up her phone with trembling hands, and opened the email.
Her eyes flashed. No. She couldn't just sit there and wait for death. If she stayed stuck at home, her life would be in vain!
She went to the hospital according to the private detective's investigation results. After waiting for about half an hour, Ning Nanxue finally came out.
Jiang Tingchen was next to her! Su Yao almost bit her lower lip.
"Tingchen, didn't the doctor say that he's recovering well? You're always worrying about him." Ning Nanxue's voice was soft, but even from a distance, Su Yao could hear the annoyance in it.
Jiang Tingchen raised his hand and helped Ning Nanxue push away the loose hair on her forehead. His movements were as natural as those of an old couple.
"If you don't take good care of this old injury, it might cause further problems. I'll come with you for the next checkup."
After all this fuss, it turns out to be a review of an old injury!
Jiang Tingchen cared so much about her that Su Yao felt even more upset than knowing that she was pregnant.
Su Yao picked out a few photos with the "best" angles and sent them directly to Fu Chen, adding a sentence: "Mr. Fu, Jiang Tingchen is really considerate to Ning Nanxue. He even accompanied her for the follow-up examination of her old injury. I just don't know if this is real or just for show."
She was just waiting for some movement from Fu Chen. Even if it was just a frown, she would feel better.
Fu Chen was in the office, overwhelmed by a bunch of troubles, when his cell phone rang. He glanced at it and saw it was Su Yao.
When I clicked on it, it was Jiang Tingchen and Ning Nanxue.
Fu Chen's fingers paused on the screen. He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, but soon he was left with only annoyance.
People like Su Yao are becoming more and more boring. There is no other way. I just want to use my own hands to make them quarrel.
He no longer bothers to do these things.
He replied directly with four words: "Mind your own business!" and threw his phone on the table, too lazy to look at it anymore.
What else can Su Yao's little trick do except make things more troublesome?
His mind is now full of the Fu family's affairs, as well as Xu Zhao and Martin's affairs. Those are the capital for his turnaround.
Fu Chen's bland words almost made Su Yao so angry that she threw her phone. "Fu Chen is such a waste!"
She was hoping to annoy him, but he didn't respond at all.
Okay, if Fu Chen doesn’t work here, she will go find Jiang Tingchen!
She just didn't believe it. Could Jiang Tingchen really have no feelings for her, Su Yao?
A few days later, Su Yao dressed up, changed into a newly bought skirt, and put on more delicate makeup than usual. She picked a lunch break and went straight to the downstairs of Ning's Group.
She was really kept waiting. After a while, Jiang Tingchen came out of the building with a leisurely pace, and it seemed that he was planning to go to the coffee shop on the corner.
"Tingchen!" Su Yao took a few quick steps and stopped in front of Jiang Tingchen. Her voice sounded aggrieved and her eyes were red, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
When Jiang Tingchen saw Su Yao, his brows moved slightly. His gaze stayed on her for less than a second before he finally stopped.
"Miss Su, is there something wrong?" His voice was flat, and no emotion could be heard, as if the two of them were just nodding acquaintances.
"Tingchen, are we...are we really over?" Su Yao looked at him with tears in her eyes, her voice filled with tears. "I know it was all my fault before. I shouldn't have treated Ning Nanxue like that, but it was all because I liked you too much! Have you forgotten?"
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, as if Jiang Tingchen had really let her down.
Jiang Tingchen interrupted her directly, stepping back to keep his distance from her. "Ms. Su, I should have made my point very clear last time. I don't have the feelings you think I have for you. We were just ordinary friends before, and you misunderstood. As for whether Xue'er understands me or not, I don't think I need to report this to you, right?"
His words, without any dirty words, choked Su Yao so much that she almost couldn't catch her breath.
"Ms. Su, I don't want to repeat what I said a second time." He turned his head and nodded to the assistant who was walking quickly beside him.
The assistant usually always smiles, but now his face is stern, and he makes a "please" gesture to Su Yao.
Although polite, there was no room for negotiation: "Ms. Su, please leave first and don't delay our CEO Jiang's meeting."
Jiang Tingchen frowned, and the remaining politeness in his eyes disappeared.
He finally took a good look at Su Yao. His eyes were so cold that they could penetrate into people's bones: "Su Yao, I gave you a chance and gave enough face to the Su family. You don't seem to care much. I didn't want to say it too harshly, but if you are still so entangled..."
"I didn't!" Su Yao's voice was sharp and thin, and tears fell like beads from a broken string. "I just want to be with you, is that wrong? I did it for you..."
"Alright." Jiang Tingchen's voice turned completely cold, devoid of any humanity. "Please ask Miss Su to leave. From now on, whether it's the Ning Group or anywhere related to me, Jiang Tingchen, I don't want to see this person again."
