Chapter 159: Have A Good Talk
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jing Yao’s Weibo post made many people stop paying attention to Zhang Li’s confession letter, but there were still people who looked at the words over and over again under the dim yellow light, as if they wanted to tear the words apart.
Jing Mo saw countless people scolding him, calling him a scumbag, a freeloader and even calling him shameless.
He had everything. He had never thought that he would one day come to this.
He had been studying hard since he was young. It was not easy for him to get into a famous university and become the envy of the people around him. Later on, he got to know Zhang Li, a domineering and arrogant young lady. No matter how outstanding she was, she was not his type. He liked his women to be obedient and willing to rely on him.
However, success was very difficult. He had the ambition to ride on the clouds, but he had no power or influence. Hence, he took a shortcut and married Zhang Li.
This did speed up his success, but it was accompanied by psychological torture. Even if he successfully got Jingxuan listed, some labels were still stuck to him for the rest of his life and became his reverse scale.
He did not know what Zhang Li was thinking. What good would such an ending do her? It would only make the two of them be nailed to the pillar of shame for others to enjoy.
Looking at those insults and curses, Jing Mo was so angry that he almost smashed his cell phone.
He stood up and paced in the living room. He had nowhere to vent the anger in his heart. He casually picked up the porcelain teacup on the coffee table and threw it on the ground without thinking.
The teacup fell to the ground with a crisp bang and shattered.
Jing Mo glanced at the ground, his eyes filled with regret. It was a set of cups that Xuan Ling had bought. It was one of the few things Xuan Ling had left in this world.
He bent down and reached out to pick up the teacup fragment. Just as he touched the fragment, his finger was cut.
Fresh blood gushed out, and the sharp pain woke him up, waking up his brain that was dizzy from anger.
Jing Mo couldn’t care less about his image or the injury on his hand. He sat on the floor and looked up at the photo on the counter in the middle of the room.
That was the last photo he took with Xuan Ling. Their daughter, Jing Yuan, was safely in her mother’s womb. That was his happiest time. Although he was busy with the company’s listing and dealing with Zhang Li, he was happy in front of Xuan Ling.
This photo reminded him of Jing Yuan in prison. She was his and Xuan Ling’s bloodline. He had to save Jing Yuan no matter what.
Even if he had to abandon the self-esteem he cared about the most.
Jing Mo stood up and cleaned the debris on the floor. Then, he went to the tap and casually washed the blood off his hands. He couldn’t find the band-aid, so he simply ignored it. Anyway, it wasn’t bleeding anymore.
Jing Mo stood by the window with his cell phone. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and called Zhang Li.
The phone rang for more than 10 seconds before it was picked up. Zhang Li’s voice sounded a little weak. “What do you want to say?”
Jing Mo said in a low voice, “Zhang Li, let’s have a good talk. It’s not for Yuanyuan, but for Yaoyao.”
Zhang Li was silent for a moment before saying emotionlessly, “Sure. Where do you want to talk?”
Jing Mo said, “Let’s do it in the hospital. It’ll save you the trouble.”
“Sure. When are you coming over?” Zhang Li asked.
Jing Mo turned around and looked at the living room that was decorated as it had been more than 20 years ago. He said firmly, “Tomorrow afternoon.”
Zhang Li’s tone was still calm as she said, “Sure.”
The call ended. The couple, who had been together for more than 20 years, had surprisingly identical expressions. In places where the other party could not see, their faces were filled with determination.
At the same time, in the Zhang Family’s mansion in Lin City, Zhang Ji placed the information he had found in front of his brother, Zhang Jing.
“I’ve checked. Yaoyao is living with Liang Xun now. The two of them are very close, but she hasn’t known Liang Xun for long and doesn’t have much of a relationship foundation, so…”
Before Zhang Ji could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Jing. “Alright, didn’t you love Sister-in-law so much when you first met her? You can’t just rely on time to judge the authenticity of a relationship. Jing Mo and Little Sister have been together for more than 20 years, but Jing Mo doesn’t have any sincerity at all. He’s been acting all this time.”
Zhang Ji was caught between laughter and tears. He looked a little uncomfortable. “I don’t mean to question their relationship, but it’s not wrong to be on guard. Yaoyao had such a hard life in the past. She can’t take it anymore.”
“I think this Liang Xun is quite reliable.” After Zhang Jing finished speaking, he said, “However, we still have to investigate. Back then, Jing Mo looked quite decent. And Little Sister…”
Zhang Ji said, “It’s not appropriate for you to go personally with your status.
Let me go.”
Zhang Jing nodded. “Alright..”
