He withdrew a thin card as he spoke, patting the other man’s face with it before putting it into his hand. “I know what he wanted. You have accepted his money. Then you should accept mine as well. Be good and listen. I only have one request, don’t go through with it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he half-squinted his eyes abruptly. While the wretched-looking man held the credit card tightly to himself and nodded his head hard with an understanding look. He wouldn’t dare to go through with it even if he could.
“Good.” The man smiled again. A mild ray of light shone onto his handsome features. He wasn’t just anyone. He was Du Jingtang, Chu Lui’s cousin.
Du Jingtang pursed his lips as the door closed and rubbed his forehead gently with his fingers.
“I’m sorry, Xia Ruoxin. This is all I can do to help you. He will resort to any means if he wanted something. You may have escaped this time, but what about next time? I won’t always be around to protect you. All I could do was to minimize your pain. As for the rest, it will have to depend on yourself.
“Cousin, do you know?” Du Jingtang looked at a distance and sighed, “Do you know? You are truly the cruelest man I know. How can you be so vicious as to go through with this?
“That is your wife, a woman who had shared your bed with you. Haven’t you had the slightest feelings for her?
“Will you be able to sleep well tonight?”
The night wind kept blowing as Du Jingtang turned around once more to look at the cold and cheerless house. If it was possible in Xia Ruoxin’s world, Chu Lui should cease to exist.
The dark, dim light pulled his silhouette longer and longer.
During this time, the wretched-looking man entered the Chu villa. There was no one else but him. He pushed the door open carefully and squinted his eyes at the woman on the bed. He could vaguely tell from the mild lighting that it was an extremely exquisite figure. However, he reached out and touched the credit card in his chest pocket. What a pity.
Only money interested him now. As for the woman, he would have plenty once he has the money. Moreover, this was Chu Lui’s woman. He might come to regret it one day and give him hell.
The whole world knew of his ruthlessness.
He climbed onto the large bed, undressed himself, and peeled off the woman’s clothes at her shoulders. Upon seeing the woman’s cast on her elbow, he paused. S***, did Chu Lui really take him for a beast? He might not have been a good person, but he had his limits. How could he abuse an injured woman?
He was not in the least bit interested, for he was so terrified now that he couldn’t even get an erection. He might have a woman by his side, but it also signified a wave of trouble.
He pulled the blanket over both of them. He would have to wait until the next day.
On the same night, at a different place…
A man dressed in black held a glass of wine. He had one after the other. It was already very late. In the day, he had his company and the Li family to deal with. It was tedious for him. He had never felt this tired, and he was the tireless Chu Lui. For the first time, he knew what it meant to be tired.
