Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 351 I want you to suffer a fate worse than death.

"I'm sorry." Finally, Jiang Xing found his voice. "I overstepped my bounds. Please forgive me, Mr. Lou."

Lou Qi felt like he was punching cotton.

He tried to persuade her to stay, but she ignored him.

He was aggressive, and she accepted it all.

The relationship between the two seemed to have returned to its very beginning.

Lou Qi knew very well that if Jiang Xing's life hadn't taken a series of unexpected turns, and if he hadn't forced her, she wouldn't have agreed to take things further with him.

Now, she seems to have cast aside all her worries and become the free Jiang Xing once again.

She was a kite, and I cut the string that bound her with my own hands.

……

Jiang Xing left the banquet in a deathly silence.

She knew that after today, she would once again become the talk of the office among her colleagues. This time, however, they probably wouldn't be so easily fooled.

Jiang Xing opened the company's intranet app and applied for a long-term overseas assignment project.

I had just finished doing that when an unknown number called.

Since it was an unknown number, Jiang Xing hung up immediately, but unexpectedly the other party called a second time.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Jiang?" the other person asked. "Do you know Mr. Ying Kaian? He's drunk at our bar and keeps talking about you. Would it be convenient for you to come pick him up?"

……

Half an hour later, Jiang Xing appeared in a little-known bar in the capital.

At the same time, Lou Qi received a message from his bodyguard: [Mr. Lou, Miss Jiang has gone to see Ying Kaian.]

Jiang Xing was initially worried that Ying Kaian was up to something and was prepared to call the police at any time. However, when he arrived at the scene, he only saw Ying Kaian, who was completely drunk, and a bartender with a fawning expression.

"Ms. Jiang, please take your friend with you. And while you're at it..." The bartender pulled out a long bill, "Would you mind settling his bill?"

“I am not his friend.”

The bartender gripped the bill, his expression frozen.

Jiang Xing's voice awakened Ying Kaian's consciousness. He struggled to lift his head, opened his eyes, stared at Jiang Xing for several seconds, and then suddenly smiled bitterly and reached out to take Jiang Xing's hand.

"Ah-Xing, you still came after all..."

"Of course I'm coming." Jiang Xing knew he couldn't touch him, so he stood firmly in place, looking down at him with disdain. "I want to see with my own eyes what you look like now, like a stray dog."

He looked pale and thin, with heavy eye bags, unkempt stubble on his chin, and messy hair. He was the epitome of a listless and dispirited person. Where was the spirited tech company founder he once was?

Jiang Xing smiled with satisfaction and asked, "I heard that you owed a lot of money after you went bankrupt, and you even got beaten up at a high-end bar you used to frequent a while ago. How did that feel?"

feel?

Those people mocked him for sleeping with Cheng Jiang, and even asked him if he was selling himself! They didn't treat him like a human being at all! There were even disgusting men who took the opportunity to grope him!

Go to hell!

The faint smile on Ying Kaian's face vanished instantly, replaced by a ferocious expression.

"Clang-"

"Snapped!"

He staggered as he tried to stand up, but his drunken body slumped back down. He could only smash the glass beside him like a trapped beast.

"Jiang Xing! Jiang Xing, you ruined me, you deserve to die a horrible death!"

"Did I ruin you or did you ruin me?" Jiang Xing said as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Ying Kaian, you were the one who was heartless and killed my parents first. Now you have lost the reputation, dignity and wealth that you care about most and have become a joke. It is your own fault!"

"You're with Lou Qi just to get back at me?"

"Yes, I want you to suffer a fate worse than death."
