Huang Zhe was determined to cut off the relationship he had with Ruan Ji completely today. Because right now, Ruan Ji didn't have the value of a single yuan he could put to use!
What's the use of keeping a glass vase in a flowerhouse?
Isn't that something unwanted?
If other people want, they can take her for all he cares! Because from now on, Su Li's value as the most promising bride of the Capital city would be secured!
"But, but…! Didn't you say no matter what happens, you'll be with me for the rest of our lives?! Huang ge, are you going back on your words? Please, don't leave me!" Ruan Ji begged him as she tugged on his shirt more than before, her expression was that of a person who was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Huang Zhe pulled out his corner of shirt from Ruan Ji's fist as he looked at her coldly, "I used to love you very much, too; at least I thought that's what it was. However, after staying with Li'er, I understood that the person I actually love romantically is not you, but Li'er!"
"What do you mean, Huang ge?" Ruan Ji's voice trembled as she stared at him with disbelief.
Su Li, who was watching the show from the sidelines, was on cloud nine after seeing Ruan Ji's aggrieved expression. That's what she really wanted to see the most!
Ruan Ji was a girl loved by the heaven's, everyone favored her. This made other girls around her feel ignored and outcast, which made them wish for her fall from grace.
Now that the time has come, she can't wait to see the exasperation on Ruan Ji's face when they take everything away from her, little by little.
In an instant, tears welled up in Su Li's eyes as she looked down on the floor with guilt, her voice shaking, "Ji Ji, it's not Huang Ge's fault! Please, don't misunderstand him. It's just… It's just that I love him so much that I couldn't contain myself in front of him. If you want, Ji Ji, it's fine. Huang ge is your after all, and I won't dare to get in between you!"
As she finished her recital, tears fell from her eyes at the right moment as Su Li hid her face into Huang Zhe's arms, in his embrace.
Ruan Ji rolled her eyes seeing Su Li twist and turn her body around.
Who was she trying to seduce by putting up this lousy act?
This made Ruan Ji feel nauseous, to the point of vomiting. After hardly restraining herself, Ruan Ji winked at her mother, to which Song Ning nodded her head in reply.
However, just as stupid as Huang Zhe is, he took Su Li's crying for granted as he snapped at Ruan Ji right away.
"Ruan Ji, stop bullying Li'er! Look at yourself! You still don't know how to repent after what has happened!"
"I always loved and cared for you as a little sister, and not more than that. Ruan Ji, the person I truly love is Li'er. Not only did you refuse to give us your blessings, but now you are bullying her right before my eyes?! You are so shameless!"
"...", Ruan Ji and her parents were speechless after seeing Huang Zhe's stupidity.
Which eye of his saw Ruan Ji bully Su Li?
If it's not an eye problem, then he is dumb as a pig!
"Huang Zhe, don't take it too far! How dare you raise your voice on my daughter?!" Song Ning snapped back at Huang Zhe in anger, which made him flinch in fear, but he didn't have any intention to back off either.
"It doesn't matter even if you don't, just don't try to pull tricks on Li'er and hurt her!"
"Huang Zhe, I underestimated you! How dare you play dirty with our daughter like that!"
"It's one thing if you like someone else, but you dared to mention Ji'er getting into an accident? Who was it for that my daughter is now like this?!" This time, it was Ruan Zhang who spoke up, and the pressure of Ruan parents was overwhelming as Huang Zhe's soul trembled.
It was a feeling of facing a tiger and a lion at the same time, overwhelming and fearful.
"Mr. Ruan, it seems like you don't understand the situation, do you?" Huang Zhe gave off a wicked smirk as a laugh escaped his lips.
"What do you mean?" Ruan Zhang felt that something was amiss with the way he talked with him. What did Huang Zhe discover for him to be so arrogant with a formidable man as Ruan Zhang?
"Not only me, but the people in the entire capital know of your situation already, Mr. Ruan. You don't need to hide anything from me, especially about your financial situations."
The words stabbed a certain sore spot in Ruan Zhang's heart as he snapped back at Huang Zhe, "Watch your mouth! You insolent fool!"
Huang Zhe seemed to be pleased with himself as he smirked, finally getting back to the usually haughty and arrogant man who was now panicking at his words. It was a sight worth behold!
"Even the TV casters are stating the facts about the company's bankruptcy, confirming the rumor circulating within the upper society nowadays. The GFX company recently suffered a huge loss, didn't it? And to top it off, the stocks in the sharemarket dropped drastically, how could Mr, Ruan expect me to give him some face in such a poor state!"
"Ruan Ji was good at athletics, a genius within the Great Empire. But now that she also felt victim to such a gruesome and unfortunate accident, her bride price also lowered in the market drastically. As of now, I don't have any other way but to end this relationship for convenience."
"So, you mean that you will abandon Ji'er not only for another girl, but also because she is no longer useful to you?"
