Chapter 190 - Ambition
Even though Qin Zhi Xue’s company wasn’t on the small side, for the Tang family, it was just the difference between squishing a sesame seed and a watermelon. In front of them, his business didn’t have the tiniest bit of resisting power.
(T/N: this might not make much sense, but the last sentence about sums it up)
Within just a day’s time, it was enough for many things to happen over in Ning City.
The moment Qin Zhi Xue heard Xiang Jin mention his mother, his stance wavered, eyeballs almost popping out, as if he wanted to swallow her alive.
But he had to endure, he hadn’t reached the stage where he would become desperate yet.
“Ah Jin, my mother’s physique isn’t good and she’s also old, so I made you accompany her for a while to take care of her. I never thought that you would give birth to so many grievances because of it. I understand that you’re angry, how about I follow you and your whims? As long as you forgive me...” Qin Zhi Xue continued, unchanging in his ways.
“It’s too late. Before you continue rambling, I’d advise you to make a call to your office and ask them about the situation,” Jing Yun Zhao frostily reminded him from aside.
With her reminder, Qin Zhi Xue’s whole body petrified.
Fishing out his phone, he saw many missed calls, most likely because he couldn’t hear anything over the noise just now.
After sending a message in inquiry, his expression looked like he was struck by lightning.
I’m finished... Everything is gone...
Enforced bankruptcy; all of the company’s resources, as well as both his villas in Ning City, were seized.
Seized? Understanding till there, Qin Zhi Xue’s entire body quacked. The Old Madam was still in there, did that mean she was taken away too? When she was chased out, had she faced the censure of those debtors at the same time?
Qin Zhi Xue was utterly dumbfounded at such a thought. He never thought that everything would happen so quickly.
However, that was the power of the Tang family ah! What’s more, from the beginning till the end, they only expressed their intentions and someone below them voluntarily cleaned him up in their stead, without even giving him a way out! In the end, the moment he barely became a thought of the Tang family, he was already consigned to eternal damnation!
The joke was that he was still here in Hua Ning County, thinking that everything would be fine as long as he could take back Xiang Jin!
“Poisonous woman!”
Qin Zhi Xue growled and was about to raise his foot to send a kick to Xiang Jin, but Xiang Jin was saved by Jing Yun Zhao in that moment. She moved swiftly but was still able to navigate the small consultation room with ease. The crowd only heard a heart-gripping ‘crack’ when her fingers ran across the back of his hand. Her elbow then pressed against his lower back, a kick rushed towards his thighs, and in the next second, Qin Zhi Xue knelt on the floor with a flat ‘boom’.
The entire process made even the people watching feel his pain.
Jing Yun Zhao’s actions were breathtaking, but her movements were too fast, making it seem like they were hallucinating.
Qin Zhi Xue knelt, feeling extreme pain travelling from his lower back, his entire body completely unable to move. Meanwhile, the direction he was kneeling towards was facing Xiang Jin, causing him to feel even more humiliated.
“Poisonous woman, why did I have to marry you?! Isn’t it just a stupid broken company, to make you bear grudges until now?! You’re just a woman! On what basis should you be more outstanding than a man in every aspect?! So I made you stay at home to take care of my mother, it was also for your own good!”
Qin Zhi Xue had become somewhat deranged as he thought about how he’d already lost everything. The feeling of being thrown down from the clouds was a pain that made him wish he was dead.
“Why did you have to marry me? Do you want me to remind you? Back then your family background wasn’t good, you didn’t even have livelihood expenses when you were studying, yet you spent every single cent you had on you to buy a bouquet for me. I felt guilty so I returned the money, yet you said that I was insulting your integrity, but everyone knew that after spending that money on me, I had no choice but to treat you to a month’s worth of meals!”
Bringing up the past, Xiang Jin suddenly felt that she was really too naive back then. Maybe Qin Zhi Xue’s ambitious heart wasn’t ever small.
