Chu Jingnan’s act of choosing to sell off the Xiao Corporation’s shares in his hands, causing its reacquisition, completely enraged Xia Ruya.
From Chu Jingnan’s point of view, their plans of taking over the Xiao Corporation were over and they had already lost completely. Where there was life, there was hope—he who understood the times was a wise man. He didn’t feel that he made any mistake.
However, Xia Ruya’s character had always been to persist and not give up until the very last moment. Chu Jingnan’s proactive act of selling off the shares in his hands was equivalent to selling off her last hope altogether—she couldn’t accept this outcome.
She had already lost too much and couldn’t lose any more hope—otherwise, she would never be able to make a comeback.
“Bang!” Xia Ruya pushed open the main door violently and walked in with big strides.
“Xia Ruya, what are you doing here?”
Chu Jingnan had a hazy expression as he watched Xia Ruya barge in suddenly. Feeling rather displeased, he couldn’t help but regret his initial decision of giving her an extra set of keys to the house.
The Xia Ruya who was previously gorgeous, seductive, and gentle had already turned into a hot-tempered and unreasonable madwoman. Chu Jingnan was in disbelief at the stark contrast and, more importantly, he couldn’t take it when previously, Xia Ruya accused him of being incompetent in front of him.
“Chu Jingnan, you better explain to me why you sold off the Xiao Corporation’s shares!”
Xia Ruya questioned him in an overbearing manner. She felt that she had yet to lose—she still had some powers from Mr. Z in her hands which, although couldn’t be used freely by her, could be employed strategically and might be able to keep 25% of the Xiao Corporation’s shares.
“The Lin Family was oppressive—I don’t have powers or influence and totally couldn’t keep the shares in my hands. Even if I don’t sell them proactively, they’d also be taken away by the Lin Family—what difference does it make?”
Honestly, Xia Ruya’s questioning made Chu Jingnan very unhappy. However, after all, they had been in a relationship, and Chu Jingnan’s manners and self-restraint made him explain to her patiently. Yet, his face was filled with impatience and he spoke with an unpleasant tone.
Xia Ruya sneered and slightly squinted her eyes which were undisguisedly filled with disdain. “In that case, why didn’t you discuss with me before deciding on your own? What gives you the right to do that?”
She spoke harshly as her exquisite and pretty face turned hazy and radiated a suffocating and overbearing aura.
“What do you mean?” Chu Jingnan’s gentlemanly face finally cracked as he stared hard at Xia Ruya with a scary harshness.
Xia Ruya acted arrogantly, overbearingly, and struck him ruthlessly on his strong pride which stemmed from a sense of inferiority from deep within his heart. He felt that Xia Ruya was insulting his male ego.
“Ha—” Xia Ruya started mocking him, her eyebrows raised slightly like how Wen Xinya was used to doing, except that the same action, when done by Wen Xinya, was suffocatingly majestic, but for her, it was icy cold, terrifying, and venomous. “If it weren’t for me, could you have taken over the Xiao Corporation, show off your position, and have everyone at your beck and call? Without my help, could you have gradually controlled the Xiao Corporation and obtained those 25% shares? Chu Jingnan, you’re nothing without me, what gives you the right to act presumptuously and sell off the Xiao Corporation’s shares?”
She was merely stating the facts. As for whether Chu Jingnan could accept it and what would he feel—those were never within her considerations.
Honestly, Chu Jingnan was indeed an attractive and rather capable man and had once really attracted her. However, that was on the basis of mutual benefit, built on the foundation of a win-win situation.
Now, without the accompanying benefits, what was Chu Jingnan?
“Chu Jingnan, you’re nothing without me?”
“Chu Jingnan, what are you without the Xiao Family?”
Chu Jingnan looked at the arrogant woman before him and realized, for the first time, that beneath her gentle and elegant mask, this hazy and venomous face before him was extremely detestable.
In his mind, Xia Ruya’s words just now and the things that the directors of the Xiao Corporation said to him intertwined incessantly and, like a demonic voice by his ears, thoroughly triggered the inferiority and ego buried deep within his heart.
“Pa—” Chu Jingnan gave Xia Ruya a tight slap.
The crisp slap rang by her ears.
Xia Ruya covered her face and looked at Chu Jingnan in disbelief as similar memories came on like waves and flooded her mind. Wen Xinya slapped her and Chu Jingnan also slapped her—she had never dared to retaliate when Wen Xinya slapped her, but what about Chu Jingnan?
Chu Jingnan sneered and said, “Xia Ruya, how highly do you think of yourself? Indeed, you have a good family background—so what? You still lost to Wen Xinya time and again and finally suffered a thorough defeat. You still want to compare yourself to Wen Xinya—which part of you is worthy of comparison with her? You’re but a vicious minor character in Wen Xinya’s life.”
People often paled in comparison to others who were much more competent.
Previously, he felt that Wen Xinya was outstanding. However, Xia Ruya, as the eldest daughter of the Li Family, was also comparable.
However, now, Xia Ruya only made him feel disgusted, but Wen Xinya was still as brilliant, elegant, and graceful, which made a deep impression on him.
“What did you say?”
Xia Ruya’s pupils constricted incessantly and her breathing hastened instantly as she stared hard at Chu Jingnan, waiting for the sense of logic in her to snap before dashing up and gnawing ruthlessly at the enemy before her.
She couldn’t stand the fact that she was inferior to Wen Xinya the most. Chu Jingnan’s words undoubtedly rubbed salt on the wound deep in her heart which was bleeding, rotting, and emitting a disgusting stench.
The thrill of revenge instantly arose in Chu Jingnan’s heart. “Xia Ruya, stop lying to yourself, you’re totally inferior to Wen Xin…”
“Chu Jingnan, shut up…”
Xia Ruya screamed at the top of her lungs, suddenly dashed towards Chu Jingnan, and sank her sharp nails into Chu Jingnan’s neck, resulting in three streaks of blood which were terrifying to watch.
“Xia Ruya, you’re a lunatic.”
The guilt that arose in him due to slapping Xia Ruya just now instantly disappeared. Now, he only detested her. He stopped Xia Ruya’s hands and gave her a hard push.
“Ah—” Xia Ruya cried out as her body gave way and fell to the ground. Her forehead hit the corner of the glass tea table and blood flowed profusely from the wound instantly. She looked seriously injured.
She covered the wound on her forehead, curled up on the ground, and moaned in pain as her body shook incessantly.
Chu Jingnan had a shock. Just now, he only wanted to get rid of Xia Ruya and didn’t intend to injure her. Unexpectedly, Xia Ruya was so weak—he had only given her a push and she fell down and hit her forehead.
