"What's so cruel about something that's consensual?"
Jiang Yao deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb in front of Song Ze, knowing full well that the more she knew, the more dangerous it would be for her.
But right now, even if she tries to fool him, Song Ze won't let her off easily.
"It's not that I'm cruel to her, it's that she's too stupid, and it's also that she took the initiative to seek cooperation with me."
The man opposite me was elegant and a true gentleman. During our conversation, he seemed to feel deep regret about the current state of Zhenggang Real Estate.
But only Jiang Yao knew that the reason Zheng Gang Group was able to collapse so quickly was because he used some underhanded tactics behind the scenes.
“I don’t know much about your relationship with her. I’m just an employee. She wouldn’t tell me that much, but I’ve told you everything I know.”
Jiang Yao grabbed her bag. "I have to go now. If there's anything else..."
"Something just doesn't feel right."
"What?"
“I tried to spend some time alone with Xiang Nanzhi. You helped me hand the person over to me. Not long after, Xiang Ciyuan arrived. I thought it was a coincidence at first, but now that I think about it, it’s too much of a coincidence.”
Jiang Yao scoffed, "You doubt me?"
"Yaoyao, I've given you everything I promised. You're betraying me and showing no respect for me at all."
"Since you doubt me, don't ask me to do things for you in the future."
Jiang Yao remained expressionless and unhurried, grabbing her bag and leaving. Song Ze's men quickly stopped her; her heart was pounding. "Song Ze, what do you mean?"
"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Tell me, did you already sleep with Xiang Ciyuan a long time ago, and are you now completely on the same side as the Xiang family?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Song Ze stood up and splashed a cocktail in her face. "What do you think Xiang Ciyuan takes you for? You're just a toy he's tired of playing with. He might pick you up and play with you again someday. You're deliberately messing with me, tipping me off. Do you think I'm stupid?"
"I didn't. Do you have any evidence? Don't make things up if you don't have any evidence."
"Evidence, is it?"
Song Ze patted her face. "Take her to my car."
“Song Ze, let me tell you, even though I moved out of the Jiang family, I’m still a member of the Jiang family. You dare to treat me like this…you dare…”
"You bastard, Song Ze..."
Across from the bar was a high-end love hotel. Xiang Ciyuan had just come out of the hotel and lit a cigarette.
His shirt wasn't buttoned up properly, it was slightly open, and the evening breeze blew in, ruffling the hair on his forehead.
A moment later, Shen Yue also came out. He was drunk and was walking unsteadily. He had a cigar in his mouth and his words were somewhat slurred, "The ones that were released are going to be taken back."
"Then we'll accept it."
"After playing for a long time, everything becomes the same; there's nothing new about it."
Xiang Ciyuan frowned. "I won't be coming around lately, don't look for me."
As soon as he left, Shen Yue lost his balance and almost fell. "Damn it, are you trying to kill me?"
After putting out his cigarette, he went outside and saw two men dragging a woman into a car. They were far apart, so he couldn't see the woman's face clearly.
Xiang Ciyuan lit another cigarette and headed to another intersection.
Just then, the car door closed not far behind him, and he saw a hand pressed against the car window...
The hand was very small, very thin, barely big, and was quickly pulled back and disappeared.
Xiang Ciyuan walked a few more steps as if nothing had happened, then suddenly stopped.
As if possessed by a ghost, his eyes were filled with gloom. He turned around, walked to the car, and kicked it.
The car door didn't open, but the person inside was startled. "Who are you?"
Xiang Ciyuan stood up straight and saw through the car window the woman they had pinned down inside the car. Jiang Yao's clothes were torn to shreds, and her hands were being held down. The scene was horrific.
"Ciyuan, save me..."
He just felt that the hands looked familiar, but he never expected that it really was hers.
Xiang Ciyuan kicked the car door several more times, then kicked it open. He dragged the two men inside out and beat them up. Jiang Yao quickly put her clothes back on.
Her dress was torn, leaving her barely clothed. Not wanting to embarrass herself in front of Xiang Ciyuan, Jiang Yao hastily opened another car door, covered her clothes, and scrambled away.
After Xiang Ciyuan dealt with the two men, this was the scene she saw: she had run away in a completely disheveled state, tripping over her own skirt and falling.
But she quickly stood up again, without turning her head, and disappeared into the night...
Shen Yue was drunk and his vision was blurry. He only saw a woman getting out of the car and couldn't see anything else clearly. He thought it was Xiang Ciyuan running into an acquaintance.
He knew what kind of person Xiang Ciyuan was; he was the kind of person who would turn his back on someone after he had done his thing, and he didn't care about the past. Once he had his fun, he would move on and go his separate ways.
"Who is it? Who is it? Is it someone you've taken a fancy to?"
If I hadn't taken a liking to him, I wouldn't have bothered him with this trivial matter...
Perhaps it was because it was late at night and the surroundings were too quiet, but there was a kind of superficial noise surging in the night. Xiang Ciyuan remembered what Jiang Yao had told her a long time ago.
She said at that time that her stepmother and father treated her badly, and her younger sister also bullied her. She wanted someone to rely on and a home.
But he wouldn't listen to any of that; all he wanted was to sleep with her.
The first time, Jiang Yao was actually terrified...
He was so desperate to sleep with her that he held her hand and promised her that he would treat her well and reassure her.
"Could I be pregnant?"
"If you're pregnant, then have the baby."
He just wanted to have some fun, little did he know he was so capable that he actually got her pregnant on their first time.
He probably made many vows while holding her hand the first time, and kissed her hand to ease her pain. At that time, he thought that women's hands were really small, like chicken feet.
When I saw that hand just now, I subconsciously thought of Jiang Yao.
It really was her.
"Ciyuan, Xiang Ciyuan, have you taken a fancy to someone, hmm?"
"I admitted my mistake."
——
Once she found a secluded spot, Jiang Yao sat down against the wall, quickly tying knots in her torn clothes to prevent them from falling down, making her look comical and ridiculous.
She wiped away her tears and quickly sent another message to Xiang Nanzhi, "Song Zequan knows everything."
“He was also involved in the collapse of Zhenggang Real Estate, so you must be careful of him.”
When Shen Shixun got home, Xiang Nanzhi had just finished showering. The small apartment was just the right size for the two of them.
"I'm hungry, I want to eat noodles."
Xiang Nanzhi opened her arms and hugged the man, but Shen Shixun gestured for her to stand a little further away, saying, "I haven't showered yet, wait a minute."
"I don't mind you."
The man looked at her watery eyes, lowered his head and kissed her lips. "Since you don't mind, then take another bath with me."
"It's possible, but you shouldn't do anything else."
"good."
When a man and a woman are alone together in a room, a man's promises are worthless.
Even if he is Shen Shixun, even if he is a man of his word, there are times when he breaks the rules.
Under the shower, the two were soaked. Shen Shixun lowered his head and ate with smacking sounds...
Xiang Nanzhi's legs were so weak she could barely stand, her chin resting on the man's hair. "That's enough..."
This man repeatedly challenged her understanding of the world.
