Chapter 68: Killing the Chicken to Frighten the Monkey
Xia Nanxing walked forward without looking back, her attention focused on her phone, and she didn't notice the look in Lu Huaijin's eyes as he stood there looking at her.
"Xingxing has been angry for a little too long this time." Lu Huaijin murmured to himself.
When Qin Heming exposed his shame, he was not thinking about what Qin Heming thought of him, nor was he afraid that the image he had built up for a long time would be destroyed. The only thing he could think of was Xia Nanxing.
He also went to see Xia Nanxing's reaction immediately.
He wanted to see the distress on Xia Nanxing's face, but Xia Nanxing hid herself tightly and didn't even glance at him. He wanted Xia Nanxing to turn around and look at him, but Xia Nanxing didn't turn around until she completely disappeared from his sight.
Xia Nanxing would never be like this before.
"Will the stars never forgive me..."
The moment this thought came to mind, a feeling of panic spread, causing Lu Huaijin's heart to ache.
He shook his head and shook off those useless thoughts. What he was doing now was less than one tenth of what Xia Nanxing had done for him.
Why are you panicking?
Lu Huaijin was able to keep his composure, but Xia Nanxing couldn't.
Last time, he slapped someone twice, but not only did he fail to scare the person away, he was also chased and blocked several times. Now, Xia Nanxing didn't care about making enemies or not.
As soon as she returned, Xia Nanxing asked Xia Zhengyang to borrow people as she wanted to withdraw her investment.
Not only did she withdraw her investment, she also adopted the idea Qin Heming had given her before. At the critical moment when Lu Huaijin's company's product was launched, she deliberately filed a patent lawsuit with others and frantically hindered him.
Xia Nanxing's actions shocked Ye Shuya, "How could you do it so ruthlessly?"
"If I don't do something extreme, he'll think I'm still in love with him."
Xia Nanxing listed the man's crimes in detail. "He's not only sent someone to track down my whereabouts. He even comes to block me when I'm on a business trip. It's simply too much."
The point is that if Lu Huaijin keeps making such a fuss, it will sooner or later come to Qin Heming's attention.
She had been married for so long, she didn't want to give up halfway. If she divorced without receiving the inheritance, wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?
"What he did was quite excessive. But Lu Huaijin is the future leader of the Lu family. What if you take things too far now and really make an enemy? Leave some room for reunion in the future. After all, life is short."
In the past, Xia Nanxing was worried about making enemies, but now Xia Nanxing is fearless.
She explained somewhat sheepishly, "His current attitude towards me might be due to more than just habit, but also a little bit of affection. As long as that little bit of affection exists, I won't be able to bear grudge against him. It will only make him see clearly my determination to draw a clear line between us."
Ye Shuya cleared her throat and commented quietly, "The way you two are acting now, it looks like you're in a love-hate relationship, killing each other."
Under Xia Nanxing's resentful gaze, Ye Shuya touched her nose awkwardly, "I didn't say that. Everyone says that."
This large-scale love-hate drama has been running for many years and has already gained a group of loyal audiences.
Whenever Xia Nanxing and Lu Huaijin have a new play, the small group of onlookers becomes very active.
Not only are they active online, but they are also very lively offline. Xia Nanxing and Ye Shuya went to their usual bar and could hear acquaintances at the next table talking about them.
"Don't look at how fierce the young lady is now. But that's all to attract Mr. Lu's attention."
"Of course not! After so many years of pursuit, Master Lu finally comes back. Now that the anger in the young lady's heart has been released, she will definitely throw herself into Master Lu's arms again."
"I thought Mr. Lu was a tough guy. I didn't expect him to be a sucker. The young lady is really like that. If she keeps sucking, she'll get everything she wants. Why didn't the young lady take a fancy to me? If the young lady were to pursue me relentlessly, I wouldn't be able to hold out for more than a year."
Xia Nanxing could pretend that the bad words that he didn't hear didn't exist, but since he heard them, there was no way to simply let the matter go.
Do you really think of it as a fashion item?
If you want a bootlicker like her, don’t you look at yourself?
She just patted Ye Shuya's shoulder lightly, picked up her wine glass, stood up, and stood in front of the group of people at the next table with a cold face.
I didn't expect Xia Nanxing to be here, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"Come on, why don't you say anything? Didn't you say I was a licker?"
The young man who had just called Xia Nanxing a dog licker slapped his mouth lightly and explained in a flattering manner: "Miss, I'm a bad mouth and I said the wrong thing. I'll give you a drink to make amends, and I wish you and Mr. Lu a happy marriage."
After saying this, the young man drank three cups in a row.
"May you have a happy marriage?" Xia Nanxing laughed in anger, "Since you are so good at talking..."
Under the young man's expectant gaze, Xia Nanxing pointed at the pile of wine bottles on the table with a gloomy face.
"Aren't you going to drink to make amends? Just drink all the wine on the table. Then I'll let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, haha."
Xia Nanxing didn't finish his words, but his words were full of threats.
The scene was eerily quiet. Ye Shuya, standing behind him, urged, "What? You don't want to give us, the eldest lady, face? You don't want to drink?"
Xia Nanxing would only bow to Lu Huaijin for love a few years ago, but if you put Xia Nanxing outside, she is a character that ordinary people cannot afford to offend.
"Drink, drink, drink."
The young man drank a few glasses nervously. At Xia Nanxing's signal, Ajin took the initiative to step forward, picked up the bottle and poured him wine.
Xia Nanxing picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and looked around. No one dared to look at her.
"I remember I told you not to mention Lu Huaijin in front of me anymore. You guys don't take my words to heart at all. And you still wish me and him a happy marriage?"
She pointed at the man who had just been made an example of and threatened, "If anyone wishes me and him a happy marriage in the future, I can only wish him a quick death and a rebirth."
Seeing that everyone at the table was silent, as if frightened by him, Xia Nanxing waved his hand and said to A Jin, "Alright, stop forcing him to drink. Let him drink by himself."
Xia Nanxing showed off his skills in front of everyone and then went back to his seat to eat.
"Is the egg fried rice in this bar really that good? I order it every time I come here." Ye Shuya complained softly, craning her neck to follow the situation at the next table. "He passed out from drinking. That table has been cleared, and the rude guy has been sent to the hospital."
After the people left, Ye Shuya took out her phone and said, "The efficiency of the "Eating Melon Group" is really fast. There is already a video of you forcing people to drink. But no one dared to take a picture of your face."
A passerby who knows nothing dares to take photos and spread them randomly, but people in the circle don’t dare to do so because it is easy to find out who took the photo based on the angle of the photo.
Xia Nanxing and the others didn't show their faces, but everyone knew it was her by the voice.
Xia Nanxing, who was eating, looked up and said, "We've become a trio of evil villains. The public opinion surrounding Lu Huaijin and I can't possibly continue to be happy together, right?"
"Yeah. I also said you two are a perfect match. The villain couple is even more exciting."
Ye Shuya felt desperate for Xia Nanxing.
"Are they blind?"
Xia Nanxing dropped her rice spoon into the bowl. She had lost her appetite and couldn't eat anymore.
"Maybe they're not blind. You don't know, we didn't believe in love before, but you made us know that love really exists. Maybe they simply believe in the power of love."
Xia Nanxing took a deep breath and comforted herself, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay! As long as Lu Huaijin believes that I no longer love him, that's enough."
She turned to Ajin and said, "Remember to forward this video to Special Assistant Wang. Make sure Lu Huaijin sees it."
Ah Jin lowered his head and whispered in Xia Nanxing's ear, "What about Assistant He? Shouldn't you also let President Qin see your determination to draw a clear line between you and Young Master Lu?"
As a good assistant, he should help the God of Wealth to appease her God of Wealth.
"That makes sense. Send it all."
