"Liao Nanxing! Let me go! Help! Help me!" Su Mu grabbed the door frame of the next room and shouted with all his might.
Even though Liao Nanxing's dragging made her scalp ache, she still held tightly to the gap in the door frame with all ten fingers.
At this point, the pain in my fingertips far outweighed the tearing sensation in my scalp.
She was unwilling to become an object for Liao Nanxing to please others, and she didn't want even her last bit of dignity to be crushed by Liao Nanxing.
However, the inherent differences between women and men are predetermined when they are born into this world.
Back in Yunxijian, Liao Nanxing was much lighter than she is now, and Su Mu had no chance to fight back. Now that Liao Nanxing is much stronger than before, she has even less chance to resist.
When Liao Nanxing pulled her hand away, her fingernails split open, and bright red blood left streaks on the door frame.
In the end, Liao Nanxing personally pushed her into the old man's room.
"President Lin, I'm right at the door. Please feel free to ask if you need anything." Liao Nanxing bowed and scraped like a servant.
The door slammed shut, nearly hitting him in the face.
Looking at the closed door, Liao Nanxing raised his head with a gloomy expression.
But in his heart he thought, if Han Xin could endure the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs, why can't he? A true man can bend and stretch; when he regains his glory one day, he will personally wipe away today's shame.
He turned around and leaned against the wall, then took out a cigarette and lit it.
The wisps of smoke were like his confused thoughts at that moment.
It wasn't that he didn't want to maintain his last shred of dignity, but rather that he was truly penniless.
These days, he not only shamelessly sought out his old classmates of decades, but also went to the students he had taken special care of, just to ask for a chance to turn his life around.
But they either turned a blind eye or later asked others to convey that they didn't want to have much contact with him.
Alternatively, you could tell him directly to his face that you no longer want to associate with him.
Even worse, some people mocked and ridiculed him.
In the end, it took some effort to finally get in touch with Lin Shijia.
It was only because he had this peculiar hobby that he managed to use sappanwood to save his life.
"Gu Yao, just you wait. My today will be your tomorrow!"
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Liao Nanxing's pent-up emotions finally began to ease.
The unusually quiet surroundings made him particularly attentive to any sounds coming from inside the room.
To distract himself, Liao Nanxing took out his phone and started browsing.
He habitually opened WeChat Moments, and his gaze fell on a post from three hours ago.
That's... Gu Yao!
They actually started living together openly!
Seeing Zhou Chunhua wearing an apron, her face as radiant as a peach blossom, Gu Yao's lips curved into a smile, his eyes overflowing with happiness.
The caption reads: "Time is long, life is short, cherish every day I spend with you."
Liao Nanxing's heart, which had just calmed down, became restless again.
He didn't even look at the hundreds of comments below, and almost smashed his phone.
To calm his anger, he took deep breaths.
The smoke suddenly rushed into his chest, causing him to cough incessantly.
The coughing finally stopped after a full half minute.
Looking at the black screen of his phone, he suddenly realized a problem he had overlooked.
How could Zhou Chunhua, who is usually so dull-witted, suddenly discover his affair with Su Mu?
The image of Gu Yao's cunning and treacherous face flashed into my mind.
He suddenly realized that the source of all this was likely Gu Yao's manipulation.
He meant, how could Zhou Chunhua, who was perfectly fine, suddenly discover his affair with Su Mu!
And what gives Zhou Chunhua, who has neither a diploma nor a skill, the confidence to divorce him?
But he couldn't understand why Gu Yao was targeting him like this.
Liao Nanxing fell into deep thought, trying to find the source of everything from his memories.
But for some reason, he suddenly recalled the beautiful memories he had shared with Zhou Chunhua.
Their love was innocent yet sweet.
He had vowed to hold her hand and grow old with her.
He also loved Zhou Chunhua with his life.
But I don't know when it started, I forgot the vows we made, the promises we made to be together for life.
A bittersweet feeling spread from the bottom of my heart.
No!
At that moment, he realized that it wasn't that he didn't love Zhou Chunhua; he had simply made a mistake that all men in the world make.
If it weren't for Gu Yao, Zhou Chunhua wouldn't have discovered his affair with Su Mu.
So, even if he rolled up his sleeves, he could still return to that warm home.
If it weren't for Gu Yao, even if Zhou Chunhua had discovered his affair with Su Mu, she would never have broken off with him so decisively.
Even after he grew tired of Su Mu, he was still able to rekindle his relationship with Zhou Chunhua.
So, it's all Gu Yao's fault!
Just wait! When he makes a comeback, he will take back everything that once belonged to him!
Suddenly, my phone chimed.
When Liao Nanxing came to her senses, she opened the message and saw that it was sent by Lin Shijia's personal assistant.
[No need to wait any longer, you can go home now. General Manager Lin wants you to report to the company tomorrow. We'll send you back in a few days.]
With just a few simple words, Liao Nanxing's emotions were like those of someone who had just ridden a roller coaster.
He glanced at the closed door to the room next door, his brow furrowed, and replied, "There's a child at home. I'll wait here and take her back with me."
Soon, a message came in: "Professor Liao, are you making things difficult for me or for yourself?"
Liao Nanxing tightened his grip, pressed the screen saver, and turned to leave.
