Zhou Ning heard the orders and his gaze glanced over Song Jie for a moment. His expression stilled before he began contacting the necessary people in the most professional manner.
Of course, the Young Mistress could offer an A-list actress only because, with the Yan conglomerate’s clout, she only knew people at that level.
Some little small fry… had absolutely no right to swagger in front of Ms. Liang.
This Song Jie could be said to have struck it lucky thanks to Mr. Qin~
Qin Jiang just stared at the man who a moment ago had looked utterly betrayed by the world and as if the sky had fallen, and now the corners of his mouth was for a moment harder to suppress than an AK’s recoil…
Money was really king, huh.
His wife really knew exactly how to manipulate someone like Song Jie~~
“Get in the car. Gotta stay alive if you want your beloved celebrity to personally take care of you, right?”
Yan Liang raised an eyebrow and gave Song Jie a look.
The man who had just been utterly despondent hurriedly clutched his abdominal wound and obediently climbed into the car.
His life was priceless right now.
“Of course, of course… we’ll do whatever Ms. Liang says.”
When Song Jie thought about how the Sister Bingbing he admired so much would come to take care of him, he suddenly felt that Jiang Kexin’s decision not to choose him was her loss.
Qin Jiang and Yan Liang got into the car together.
The low-key black Rolls-Royce turned around in the rain and headed toward the private hospital.
Beforehand, the private hospital had received word that the Young Mistress Yan would personally arrive and had already sent staff to wait.
After Qin Jiang got in the car, since he had some medical knowledge, he first checked Song Jie’s wound.
“You’re lucky — your abdominal wound is almost six inches long. From the contour and depth, it looks like someone stabbed you with a knife. You avoided a fatal blow, but it’s a serious injury…”
Qin Jiang frowned. The more he examined, the sterner his expression became.
“Tell me clearly, what happened when you went to see Jiang Kexin?”
Facing Brother Jiang’s questions, Song Jie had no choice but to confess truthfully.
It turned out that when Song Jie was staking out the mall Qin Jiang had mentioned, he still didn’t think Jiang Kexin would cheat on him. He was even messaging her to prepare well for the graduate entrance exams…
But immediately after reading Jiang Kexin’s gentle reply to him, he looked up and saw her arm-in-arm with Young Master Wu walking into a luxury handbag store.
That Young Master Wu impatiently accompanied her while she shopped for a bag, and bought her two bags in the end.
But as they walked around he kept behaving lewdly—slapping Kexin’s butt, groping her thigh and waist…
Jiang Kexin was always reserved and gentle around him, but around Young Master Wu she was flamboyant and very forward.
Song Jie was stunned. But he wasn’t an idiot—he immediately took out his phone and started recording.
He even… followed them all the way to the hotel.
To his shock, after the two went inside, two other tall men also entered.
After all, Song Jie was Jiang Kexin’s boyfriend. In his heart he couldn’t help but rationalize for her—she must be facing some trouble and had no choice but to do this.
He couldn’t bear to see Kexin subjected to that inhuman torment.
So he mustered his courage and knocked on the door. What he saw was a scene he would never forget.
The girlfriend he had cherished in the palm of his hand was being trampled on like dirt.
Young Master Wu was leisurely sitting on the sofa nearby, clearly satisfied with this scene.
Seeing him appear, Wu Yu mocked in a condescending tone, “Tsk, look who’s here… Kexin, isn’t this your model student boyfriend?”
“Has he ever seen you act this low?”
“Come on, aren’t you joining in too?”
Young Master Wu arrogantly opened the door, not caring at all about being exposed.
He wasn’t even afraid of Song Jie calling the police.
In the end, Song Jie was brutally beaten. While bloodied all over, he still heard Jiang Kexin’s words belittling him echoing in his ears.
So, because he had no money and couldn’t give Kexin a better, more luxurious life, she had condemned him forever?
But they were still university students—he had excellent grades and worked hard to enter many student competitions.
The knowledge he had absorbed would ensure their future wouldn’t need to worry about money.
She couldn’t wait for him?
Song Jie’s body ached from the beating, and his heart felt like it was dying.
Finally, the beating ended.
He left in a daze, preparing to go.
Jiang Kexin suddenly called him back. When Song Jie turned, a dagger lunged straight at him.
He dodged with all his might and barely escaped with a large slash wound to his abdomen that wasn’t fatal.
“Kexin… why?”
Song Jie felt as if the sky had collapsed.
He couldn’t believe Jiang Kexin could be so cruel to him.
“Song Jie, since you’ve seen it, I’m announcing our breakup right here. If any malicious rumors about me start floating around Huajing University, I’ll assume you started them—I won’t let you off!”
Jiang Kexin gritted her teeth, displaying a fierceness Song Jie had never seen before.
They had been childhood sweethearts, spending more than ten years together.
Yet it ended in such a tragic way…
For a moment, Song Jie wanted to give up entirely, but he hadn’t finished handling the art auction he had promised Qin Jiang.
He couldn’t delay Qin Jiang’s process of buying a pink diamond ring for the Young Mistress because of himself.
He held back and, after leaving, went to wait at the entrance of Liangyue Manor.
That night, his heart felt as if it had been crushed and rebuilt countless times.
Naturally he didn’t know that Young Master Wu’s men had attempted to enter Liangyue Manor several times to silence him.
But intimidated by Liangyue Manor’s professional, world-class bodyguards patrolling constantly, they didn’t dare take a single step forward.
Qin Jiang listened and understood now. All the information he knew from his past life finally cleared up in his mind at this moment.
It seemed his decision to not save Jiang Kexin from her future downfall was the right one.
A woman like that didn’t deserve his sympathy!
“Brother Jiang, I’m sorry… am I too useless, unable even to protect my own girlfriend?”
Qin Jiang sneered and tapped his head. “Well, you are pretty stupid alright. Blind enough to pick the wrong person and wasted your emotions on someone who didn’t appreciate them.”
“But people have to go through mistakes to know who the right person in their life is.”
“As long as you recognize the mistake, it’s never too late to change.”
“Don’t worry. Stick with me from now on—I can make Jiang Kexin regret losing you forever!”
Qin Jiang used items in a first-aid kit to bandage Song Jie’s wound, lowering his eyes as he carefully handled the gauze.
He didn’t notice Yan Liang’s were eyes fixed on him without blinking.
In her eyes were tiny measurements and calculations.
Jiang’s words were meant to comfort Song Jie.
So what about himself?
Had he realized who the was right life choice for him?
The car stopped at the hospital entrance, and doctors immediately wheeled Song Jie away.
Yan Liang happened to have a video meeting at that moment but there wasn’t time to go to the company, so she held the meeting in the car.
Qin Jiang got out of the car and, still worried, followed the stretcher into the hospital.
Yan Liang glanced in the direction Qin Jiang had left.
“Have Mo Da and Mo Er follow Mr. Qin.”
“He does want to spread his wings right now, but with his undeveloped feathers, let me protect him for the time being.”
Yan Liang parted her red lips as she couldn’t help thinking about how Qin Jiang’s white shirt buttons had been caught beneath the choker just now…
And how he pleadingly looked up at her.
As she watched the stubbornness in his eyes being gradually swallowed by submission to her.
To see him slowly take on her scent and personality.
Yan Liang’s eyes took on an increasingly voracious look.
And the next moment, she coughed lightly…
Zhou Ning quickly handed over a clean embroidered handkerchief. Yan Liang covered her lips, and the familiar metallic smell of blood came from her throat.
Sure enough, when the handkerchief was unfolded, there was a bright smear of red blood on it.
“Ms. Liang, your health is getting worse and worse. You really can’t keep pushing yourself…”
“Return to Liangyue Manor now and I’ll have Dr. Manke come over immediately.”
“Don’t worry—Qin Jiang is no longer a three-year-old. With Mo Da and Mo Er around, nothing will happen to him. I’m begging you, please live on…”
The Young Mistress had already lived a harsh, bitter life.
So she was unwilling to let go of the small bit of sweetness she has finally grasped, even if she had obtained it by forcing him to bend to her will.
But her body no longer allowed her to participate in too many activities.
Moreover, her emotions mustn’t get too stirred.
At times, she must also curb her lust…
But he didn’t dare say that.
Every time the Young Mistress saw Qin Jiang, it was like a deathbed struggle before the end of the world—she always chose to cling to him fiercely.
Not for any other reason than because she was afraid that each time she got close to Qin Jiang would be her last time.
That’s why she demanded it recklessly.
And just now, the Young Mistress obviously couldn’t endure it, yet she deliberately used the excuse of needing to start a video meeting after Qin Jiang got out—then silently coughed up blood alone.
She still didn’t feel very secure.
This was probably the helplessness born out of someone who had never received love…
“Zhou Ning, do you think… I’ll really die at 25 like my older sister and the aunt I’ve never met?”
“Jiang has only just started to like me. I don’t want to leave this world anymore.”
“I used to despise this vile world, but there’s Jiang in it… it’s him who made someone like me fall in love with this world.”
“How crazy is that…”
