Five years after being dumped, President Jiang became increasingly entangled in...

Having finally shaken off Cen Nian, Cui Xingye couldn't wait to ask as soon as they got in the car, "Are you crazy? How could you leave Xu Chaoxi with Li Shun? You know better than I do what Li Shun is, right? Even if you hate Xu Chaoxi, you could just tell her the truth, talk it out, make her feel guilty, make her make amends, make her work for you like a slave for the rest of her life. Wouldn't that achieve your goal? Why did you do this? Aren't you just ruining her life?"

Jiang Jingsi fiddled with the lighter in his hand, the flame flickering, illuminating his face inscrutable, revealing no emotion.

"Do you feel sorry for her? Or do you like her?"

Cui Xingye couldn't help but grit his teeth: "Jiang Jingsi! I'm telling you seriously, can you guarantee you won't regret what you've done? If something happens to Xu Chaoxi inside, can you live with yourself? You've been dating her for so long, don't you know what kind of person she is? She's not that complicated, she's not a scheming person, maybe she doesn't even know what she did back then..."

"Don't know?" Jiang Jingsi pondered these two words seriously: "You mean, she didn't know she took my money, didn't know she broke up with me, and that even though I begged her, she wouldn't come back? Or you didn't know that she dumped me and immediately married someone else?"

"What?" Cui Xingye was stunned by his words, and it took him a long time to say, "You must be mistaken. When did she get married?"

Jiang Jingsi remained silent.

Seeing that he remained silent, Cui Xingye continued, "Fine, I won't ask about this. What I mean is, she probably doesn't know about Auntie's matter. You should just tell her directly and make her feel guilty. Isn't that better than torturing her like this and causing pain to both of you?"

"Her guilt is worthless to me. Torturing her will only give me pleasure, while she will be the one suffering."

Cui Xingye was speechless for a moment.

He stared at Jiang Jingsi through gritted teeth, unable to utter a single word.

You're just being stubborn. I don't know who it was, but when they heard someone say "no regrets," they were so angry they wanted to grind their teeth to dust.

"drive."

"I'm not leaving. Didn't you say you weren't going to rescue them? I'll go." With that, Cui Xingye prepared to open the car door.

"You're not allowed to go!" Jiang Jingsi's face darkened, and he gave Cui Xingye a deep look in his eyes: "Are you that attached to her?"

Cui Xingye was so angry he was practically fuming.

"I'm a chivalrous person, and I can't stand seeing others being bullied like this, especially women being bullied like this right under my nose."

As he was speaking, he prepared to get out of the car, but was suddenly startled by the commotion outside.

Xu Chaoxi actually ran out on her own.

With a "thud," Xu Chaoxi's legs gave way and she collapsed in front of Jiang Jingsi's car.

She tapped on the car door, her voice barely a whisper: "Open the door..."

Cui Xingye tried to open the door, but Jiang Jingsi scolded him.

Cui Xingye looked at him hesitantly, frowning, "You'll regret what happened today sooner or later."

Jiang Jingsi listened calmly to Xu Chaoxi's pleading voice outside.

"Jiang Jingsi... I beg you... open the door..."

Xu Chaoxi's vision was becoming blurry, but she remained conscious.

She had to get Jiang Jingsi to open the door so she wouldn't get far.

At that moment, two men in suits swaggered out of the restaurant.

Cui Xingye immediately noticed something was wrong and hurriedly said, "They're here to arrest people."

"Then let them arrest him and take him back."

With a "click," Cui Xingye pressed the car door unlock button.

Upon hearing the sound, Xu Chaoxi quickly opened the car door. Just before being grabbed, she got into the car, lay prone on the leather seat, and humbly grabbed Jiang Jingsi's trouser leg.

"Jiang Jingsi, please don't open the door."

Cui Xingye locked the car door immediately, and the two men came over to ask Jiang Jingsi for the person.

"President Jiang, you promised yourself, how can you take them back?"

Cui Xingye gave a cold laugh: "President Jiang said he wanted to send President Li back. Since he has already brought people over, why should our Secretary Xu escort her? It's not safe for a young woman to go home alone at night. Go back and tell your President Li to send someone to find me."

After saying that, he stepped on the gas.

As the car sped away, Xu Chaoxi's heart finally settled, though her body was still trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing her trembling, Cui Xingye's expression turned serious.

"She doesn't seem to be feeling well, should we take her to the hospital?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingsi lowered his eyes and noticed that her face was flushed with an unnatural blush.

Xu Chaoxi's hands were still tightly gripping his trouser leg, his mouth was slightly open, and his breathing was much heavier than usual.

"I...I've been drugged, he..." She bit her tongue, and the pain finally brought her back to her senses.

"He fed me a pill, and I... I feel so hot..." she said with the last shred of her sanity.

As soon as Jiang Jingsi left, Li Shun couldn't wait to make his move on her. His strength was astonishing. Xu Chaoxi even tripped over a chair and before she could get up, he grabbed her by the tiger's mouth and fed her a white pill.

At that moment, her heart sank to the bottom, and she ran out with almost all her might.

If Li Shun hadn't been so concerned about his reputation that he didn't dare to chase after her personally, she probably wouldn't have been able to escape.

When she ran out, her shoes were gone.

High heels are not convenient for running, and in order to save her life, she did not turn back to look for it.

"Should I take her to the hospital?" Cui Xingye asked tentatively.

"Come to my house," Jiang Jingsi said in a deep voice.

Cui Xingye was a little worried, but thinking that the two still had misunderstandings to resolve, he simply stepped on the gas and drove to Jiang Jingsi's house.

"Talk to her nicely, don't act impulsively again. People have mouths to speak, there's no point in you keeping your mouth shut!"

As Cui Xingye spoke, he pulled Xu Chaoxi, who was barefoot and walking behind him with a hunched back, inside.

By the end, Cui Xingye was practically shouting.

Jiang Jingsi ignored her and threw her into the bathtub, then poured the showerhead directly over her head.

The icy water poured over her head instantly cleared her mind, but she soon found herself shivering from the cold.

Xu Chaoxi's collar was unbuttoned at the top, revealing red marks on her collarbone.

This undoubtedly enraged him. He grabbed her by the neck, his eyes filled with malice, his voice chillingly cold: "Are you that desperate for a man? You can't even let go of a man like that? Or is it for money? You have no bottom line?"

Xu Chaoxi was suddenly grabbed by the neck, unable to breathe for a moment. Her eyes were red as she glared at him, and it took her a long time to manage to choke out, "Didn't you push me to him? Didn't you condone what he did?"

Jiang Jingsi was taken aback, not expecting her to suddenly retaliate.

This sudden pause caused his hand to unconsciously loosen its grip.

Released, Xu Chaoxi gasped for breath, her voice hoarse but filled with resentment: "Jiang Jingsi, you ordered him to attack me, what right do you have to be angry?"

During this time, she endured Jiang Jingsi's malicious framing, neglect, and deliberate humiliation. Even just now, a casual remark from him made her the object of Li Shun's manipulation.

She'd had enough.
