Chapter 331 I know you hate me, otherwise why don't you stab me to death?
Xiao Yichen was immersed in his memories. It was clear that he was extremely arrogant. When talking about these past events, he did not show any sadness or regret. Instead, he showed only disgust and unconcealed hatred.
It's just unclear whether his hatred was directed at Yes, Fang Ke, or his younger self.
"I don't understand. We were so close back then, how could you just leave the country like that? I tried to subtly ask you if you wanted to date me many times, but you always changed the subject and didn't give me a direct answer... In today's terms, weren't you just keeping me as a backup option?"
"So after returning to Jingzhou, I started to take over the family business. I pushed myself to the limit every day, wanting to surpass you in at least one aspect, and prove to you how wrong it was for you not to choose me."
"Then... you came back after graduation, but you were like a completely different person. When I heard that you were going to marry Yi Mohan, I was dismissive. You don't even look down on me, so how could you be willing to marry someone like Yi Mohan who is all show and no substance? If you really want to get married, I should be your first choice."
Fang Ke: "..."
Xiao Yichen chuckled self-deprecatingly, "But this time, you've slapped me in the face again."
Xiao Yichen said, seemingly puzzled, "You still have a sense of control and ease when you're with Ye Si, but when you're with Yi Mohan, it's like you've completely lost your mind and become spineless. He treats you so badly, yet you still keep throwing yourself at him. It makes me furious, and I even feel like I could strangle you with my own hands."
"It was around that time that I started showing up at your parties. I wanted to see what tricks you were playing and how you could lose to a woman who was inferior to you in every way."
Xiao Yichen sneered, "Later, it was out of my control... It wasn't until I got caught up in this game that I realized, perhaps I can't blame you."
After a long silence, Fang Ke finally asked, "You're an NPD, right?"
"……What's the meaning?"
"Do you think everyone in the world likes you? If they don't, they're just playing hard to get, fishing for you, wasting your life, and missing out on the whole world?"
"..."
"Judging from your expression, it seems you still think so now."
"I……"
"I didn't expect it to be such a trivial reason. Xiao Yichen, aren't you the one with the youngest mind? Who I like and who I want to be with, what does it have to do with you?"
Fang Ke raised an eyebrow. "Can't I live without you?"
Xiao Yichen's expression changed, and he wanted to argue, but Fang Ke's next words made his face turn ashen.
"If you do this, I feel like all the kindness I showed to this unfamiliar world when I was a child has turned into hidden arrows, backstabbing me. I'm the joke here."
"So tell me, should I have given you the cold shoulder from the start? Should I have slapped you twice and told you to get lost before you woke up?"
"Shame on you."
"Fang Ke..."
"You just make me feel like you're an ingrate, Xiao Yichen."
Xiao Yichen's heart suddenly clenched with pain; the hangover had torn his brain into several strands that were on the verge of snapping.
He suddenly clutched his heart and gasped for breath, but when he saw Fang Ke get up and leave cleanly, he panicked and reached out to grab her hand.
"etc……"
Xiao Yichen called her name softly from behind, "I'm so sorry about Xiao Qin..."
He finally humbled himself and said, "I apologize for what I did before."
This seemed to be the best apology Xiao Yichen could offer. In fact, if Fang Ke hadn't arrived suddenly, and if he hadn't been drunk and hadn't dreamt about Fang Ke all night, he wouldn't have been able to say these words.
Fang Ke still found it too funny. After thinking for a moment, she turned around and said, "No matter how much I say, I'm afraid you with your narcissistic personality disorder won't understand. So let me say it in a way you can understand: Xiao Yichen, we're done for."
"..."
"Do you understand? From now on, we owe each other nothing. We'll each go our own way."
This time, Xiao Yichen understood perfectly, and he immediately responded with a furious shout, "No way!"
Then, under Fang Ke's cold gaze, a hint of pain finally appeared on his face.
"I...I know you hate me...Why don't you take a knife and stab me to death?"
"Please don't say those two words so easily, okay? Fang Ke... I was the first person I met... You can't treat me like this, you can't keep giving up on me."
As he spoke, he frantically pulled the knife out of the fruit plate and tried to force it into Fang Ke's hand.
If Fang Ke really stabbed him twice, he might be free, and he could even get some sympathy from Fang Ke.
Fang Ke took the knife, tossed it around in his hand, and then threw it. With a whooshing sound, it severed two tufts of hair near Xiao Yichen's ear and embedded itself in the wall more than ten meters behind him.
"..."
If that knife had been aimed directly at his head, his head would already be split in two.
Fang Ke gave him no breathing room and slapped him as he wished, saying, "You're crazy, get lost."
Xiao Yichen's face was swollen from being hit, and he was finally shaken off, standing silently in place.
When the light from the horizon shone through the glass window, he seemed to awaken from a dream, feeling as if he had been reborn. For a moment, he didn't even know if this was another dream...
It felt so unreal, so dreamlike.
It wasn't until the pain in his face reminded him of what was real that he touched his face and laughed nervously.
Fang Ke later heard that Xiao Yichen did not sit idly by and wait for his death. When the country investigated him, he had already fled with Xiao Qin.
Xiao's parents had already emigrated overseas many years ago, and their path to going abroad had been paved.
The Tianqi Group was taken over and restructured by the Jingzhou government, thus disintegrating another major gentry system in Jingzhou.
Fang Ke never expected that not long after, Xiao Yichen secretly transferred several overseas businesses, similar to "Yu Ji," to her name.
None of these businesses have a founder, and the funds behind them are all convoluted and difficult to trace, yet they all have very wealthy accounts.
Little B helped Fang Ke check the accounts and was shocked. "Converted to RMB, there are tens of billions here. What is he trying to do? Atone for his sins?"
But this was hardly something Fang Ke wanted. She turned around and donated this hot potato to the country, receiving two brocade banners in return, which she hung in the living room to ward off evil spirits.
