  Xia Ruoxin wanted to swing her hand away; however, his grip was really just too tight. So tight that he was about to hurt her arm. Rainy quietly lay in Gao Yi’s embrace. She stole a glance at Chu Lui before turning her small face away again.

  “Mr. Chu, we seemingly have nothing more to talk about. If you still plan to file another lawsuit, then I—Xia Ruoxin-will gladly fight you till the end. I’ll never give my daughter to

  you.”


  Xia Ruoxin fearlessly faced Chu Lui. Maybe other people were afraid of him, but she wasn’t going to be. Whatever tricks he had up his sleeve, he could play them all at once. It was not as if she had never seen them before.

  “Ruoxin, it’s not like that.” Chu Lui hastily explained. “I really just want both of you to return to my side. I never really thought of stealing Rainy from you. I thought that if I just managed to obtain Rainy’s custodial rights, then you would also return to my side. Whether it was out of blame or out of hate, I could use the last half of my life repay you; and our family of three would live really happily.”


  “Family of three.” Xia Ruoxin repeated his words, finding it extremely ironic and laughable. Who wanted to be a family of three with him? Trying to justify his past actions so easily, what did he take her for?

  “Chu Lui……” She laughed, and yet her voice was extremely calloused. “Do you have any right to be Rainy’s father? When she was sick and in pain, it was Gao Yi who hugged her and coaxed her through the night. When she was so ill that she was about to die, it was Gao Yi who went through the operation with her. But you, her father, what were you doing? You were beside your wife, unwilling to save the tiny her. When people in her school looked down on her and when she was made fun of, it was Gao Yi who played the role of a father, giving her fatherly love.

  “Why does she call Gao Yi ‘daddy’? That’s because Gao Yi is the one who truly loves her

  – unconditionally loves her. But what about you? When have you ever been concerned for her? When have you ever loved her? You even tried to snatch her away from my side.

  “Chu Lui, I thought that you were no longer the Chu Lui from four years ago. I was wrong. You are still who you used to be. You’re just as selfish, just as cruel, and just as inhumane. You don’t understand love. You don’t understand anything!”


  Xia Ruoxin flung Chu Lui’s hand away not even caring if she was going to hurt herself. Gao Yi clasped her hand tightly, providing her with silent consolation. “Let’s go.” He smiled warmly at her. Regardless of the situation, he had always given her such pressureless support.

  “Alright.” Xia Ruoxin nodded her head and followed him out, whereas Chu Lui could only tightly clench the hand that he had reached out. The sudden coldness that arose in his heart was almost deadly, and his palms—they seemed unable to hold onto anything ever again.

  “Cousin……” Du Jingtang stood behind him. Then, he placed his hand on Chu Lui’s shoulder. “Cousin, my mom’s really angry. She was so angered by you she started tearing.” Reminded of his mother, Du Jingtang started to have a headache.

  “Cousin, my mom said that when you love somebody, the more you’re like this, the more she will stay away from you. Don’t you see she’s living well now? Rainy’s living well, too. She went through so much just for you. Are you going to steal her happiness away again?

  “You approaching her is ruining her happiness.”


  Chu Lui’s body evidently jerked back. He took heavy breaths and swallowed. It was destructive if he tried to approach her, and it was pillage if he tried to get close to her. It turned out that the thing that he had painstakingly wanted only served to ruin the happiness of others.

  He placed his hands into his pocket and then walked out with big strides.

  “Hey, Cousin……” Du Jingtang hastily chased after him; however, by the time he exited the courthouse, there was already nobody in sight.

  “Actually, Cousin, you’re quite pitiful, too. You clearly love that woman so much, and yet now, you can’t even do as much as approach her.” He shook his head, helplessly sighing.

  “When she loved you, you were hating her; and when she needed you, you didn’t know any better. Yet, when you finally understood that you love her, she had already left; and now while you love her, she doesn’t need you anymore.”


  Chu Lui locked himself in his house for a very long time. He didn’t care about anything and wasn’t willing to attend to anything. His company had become a mess. The things that happened four years ago finally came to light, and the truth was out. Although not many people knew about it, it still spread around quite a bit. Chu Lui could have stopped it and prevented it, and yet he didn’t do anything.

  Chu Lui’s originally not-so-bright image had further darkened a little.

  Heartbreaker, vulpine man. Now, all those had become his nickname. After treating his wife so cruelly, was there still anything worth forgiving in him?

  At night, Chu Lui entered another bar alone. He hadn’t been there in a long time.

  He sat down, and a glass of alcohol was pushed in front of him. He furrowed his brows. Not too far away sat a man who slightly tilted his head, making Chu Lui feel a sense of deja vu.

  “Mo Ming?” He squinted his eyes, finally remembering the name of the man and his self-introduction. The man had said: ‘I’m Mo Ming, Mo as in unpredictable and Ming as in tea.’


  “Yes, that’s me. Can’t believe we meet again. The drink that I owed you, it’s been four years already.” Mo Ming turned around to look at him. On his sharp facial features, there was a slight air of gloominess. He no longer had that intense sense of hatred but dismay; he seemed to feel quite a bit out of it. He seemed like he had just endured a heavy blow. His entire body was a little too haggard, and even his eyes that had always looked astute seemed slightly lost.

  “The dim light of the night, it’s the strongest alcohol here. You can give it a try.” Mo Ming said as he picked up another glass of alcohol and drank from it.

  Although he said it was the strongest alcohol, he drank it down like water, not feeling anything. Chu Lui also picked up his glass and drank from it. He felt a burn in his throat. This alcohol was indeed very spicy and very strong.

  “You wanted that woman to go to hell, didn’t you?” Mo Ming suddenly put down the drink in his hand, the corners of his lips—which were inherently thin-lifted slightly.

  “Yeah, she went down to hell already. What about you? Was it the same for your woman?” Chu Lui smiled a little painfully.

  Mo Ming gently caressed the glass in his hands, his voice hardening.

  “Yeah. I tortured her until her life was like a living hell. I personally pushed her into hell. But now, I realized that I was wrong. Not only was she in hell, but I was also there as well. Right now, she hates me, but I love her. Things have really flipped around between us. I was waiting for her to take revenge, but she disappeared instead. I can’t find her anymore.

  “What about you? You look extremely troubled. Couldn’t be the same problem as me, could it?” Mo Ming kidded. He picked up the glass of alcohol and drank from it again.

  “It is.” Chu Lui gulped the drink down. His unwavering and emotionless voice made Mo Ming pause for a moment. His fingers lightly ran across the edge of the glass, the corners of his lips lifting higher.
