"Yes." Rong Mo was expressionless, and there was not even a trace of reluctance in his eyes when he looked at Chu Xia. He really couldn't bear Chu Xia's repeated tantrums after abandoning him so casually, especially since this time she had also involved the innocent Lu Wei. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Rong Mo!" Chu Xia's face turned extremely ugly as she watched the bodyguard approach her. She shouted again, "You'll regret treating me like this!"
"Miss Chuxia, the elevator is this way, please follow me." The bodyguard stopped in front of her and gestured for her to proceed. Chuxia glared at him fiercely and said angrily, "You don't need to watch me like I'm a prisoner! I have legs, I can see the way."
The bodyguard looked at Rong Mo for help. Although he wasn't someone who had been with Rong Mo for a long time, he had roughly understood the conversation just now, so he didn't know what to do for a moment.
Rong Mo didn't look at Chu Xia, but gave the bodyguard a look, signaling him to handle the matter quickly, and then turned and left.
Unexpectedly, this action completely enraged Chu Xia. She quickly pulled a folding knife from her coat, swiftly pressed the tip against her wrist, and shouted at Rong Mo's retreating figure, "Rong Mo, if you dare to leave, I'll kill myself right now!"
Rong Mo paused, but didn't turn around. His eyes remained cold and indifferent, as if Chu Xia's life or death was none of his concern. Wei Qiao, who had just come out of the ward, saw this scene and nervously approached, trying to persuade Chu Xia to put down the knife.
"Miss Chu Xia, please don't be impulsive. Let's talk this out." Wei Qiao frowned, gestured for the bodyguard standing in front of Chu Xia to move a little further away, and then advised her.
Chu Xia remained unmoved, her eyes firm and resolute. "Wei Qiao, we've known each other for so many years. You know my personality. If Rong Mo doesn't compromise, I will definitely die in front of him."
Wei Qiao frowned and sighed helplessly, "Miss Chu Xia, why are you doing this? They say bystanders see things more clearly. How our CEO Rong treated you back then, and how he waited for you for so many years, others may not know, but I know very well. But you've done such a thing, and you still want to pressure our CEO Rong. Don't you think you've gone too far?"
Chu Xia pursed her lips. She knew very well that what Wei Qiao said made sense, but she just couldn't bear to watch herself completely lose Rong Mo.
"Rong Mo, are you really this heartless? Have you forgotten our promise?" Chu Xia shouted excitedly.
Rong Mo's back trembled slightly, but he still didn't turn around. He took a deep breath and said to her with his back to her, "Chu Xia, don't force me."
"I didn't force you! You broke our promise first! You said you would love me for a lifetime, but now you're going to abandon me!" Chu Xia cried.
Rong Mo's voice grew even colder: "That's just wishful thinking on your part. I never said I would love you for a lifetime."
"What?" Despair was written all over Chu Xia's face. "Are you really going to be this heartless?"
Rong Mo did not answer her question. He simply said coldly, "Chu Xia, you are beyond saving. A woman like you is not worth my time."
After saying that, he strode towards the elevator. Lu Wei sighed, glanced back at Chu Xia, and followed him inside.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, they separated Chu Xia and Rong Mo into two different worlds. Chu Xia stared at the direction the elevator doors had closed, tears blurring her vision.
Waves of inner pain washed over her, becoming unbearable. She took a knife and slashed her hand hard; blood instantly flowed out, staining her white sweater crimson—a horrifying sight.
Wei Qiao quickly stepped forward, trying to take the knife from Chu Xia's hand. He felt bad seeing Chu Xia self-harming like this; after all, they had known each other for so many years, yet he still couldn't bring himself to do it.
"Miss Chuxia, please don't do this. You won't change anything by hurting yourself like this," Wei Qiao said gently, trying to take the knife from her.
But Chu Xia gripped it tightly and cut herself hard again, leaving a deep wound.
"Don't come any closer, or I'll kill myself!" Chu Xia cried out in anguish.
Seeing this, to prevent Chu Xia from acting recklessly again, Wei Qiao disregarded the danger, desperately pressing down on Chu Xia's arm with his left hand while trying to snatch the knife with his right. He knew that if he didn't remove the knife in time, Chu Xia would continue to hurt herself. Unexpectedly, Chu Xia was very strong; she grabbed the knife and slashed Wei Qiao's hand forcefully. Instantly, a large amount of blood gushed from the back of Wei Qiao's hand.
Wei Qiao felt a sharp pain on the back of his hand, but he ignored it. His eyes were fixed on Chu Xia, and only when he saw that her emotions had stabilized slightly did he quickly seize the opportunity to snatch the knife and hand it to the bodyguard next to him.
"Go and call the doctor to clean Miss Chuxia's wound; she'll probably need stitches," Wei Qiao instructed the bodyguard.
"Brother Wei, you need to get your hand treated too." The bodyguard frowned, looking at the bloodstains on the ground.
Wei Qiao shook his head. "I'm fine. Let's treat Miss Chu Xia's wounds first." His voice was low, and he glanced at Chu Xia with some concern.
The bodyguard nodded and immediately headed towards the office.
While waiting for the doctor, Wei Qiao took off his tie to help Chu Xia stop the bleeding.
Chu Xia's emotions gradually stabilized. Looking at the wound on Wei Qiao's hand, she was filled with guilt and gratitude.
"I'm sorry, Wei Qiao, I didn't mean to hurt you. I just couldn't get over it in my heart. I thought that if I threatened Rong Mo with my death, he would give in," Chu Xia said softly.
“Miss Chu Xia, you should give up.” Wei Qiao sighed. “I’ve been by President Rong’s side for many years and I know him quite well. Once he makes a decision, it is absolutely impossible to change it.”
You know perfectly well that no matter how much trouble you cause now, President Rong will never turn back. The more you cause trouble, the more distance President Rong will keep from you, won't he?
Besides, since you've already decided to marry someone else, why do something like this?
"But I regret it, Wei Qiao. I know you've been by Rong Mo's side the longest. Would you be willing to help me persuade Rong Mo? I know that if you help persuade him, he might listen to some of it." Chu Xia seemed to have grasped at the last straw. She grabbed Wei Qiao's sleeve and pleaded with red eyes.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that." Wei Qiao frowned, withdrew her hand, took a step back, and created some distance.
"Tsk tsk tsk, another fake sentimentality." No one knew that Yan Yan, who was hiding, had heard the whole farce. She curled her lip and couldn't help but mock.
