Chapter 543: 542: The Fate of Ji Baixing
Chapter 543: Chapter 542: The Fate of Ji Baixing
2nd floor open-air garden.
Ji Baixin held the tiny tiger casually in her hands.
The small tiger seemed to know what was about to happen. It cried so devastatingly that everyone around was on edge.
Ji Baixin didn’t care at all in that moment.
It was as if nothing else was within her purview. She just did what she thought was right.
She even laughed in that moment.
Looking at Yin Qin and Luo Xiaolang both crying unrestrainedly, looking at the two suffering so much because of her, she actually felt a kind of vengeful pleasure!
After all.
Yin Qin no longer loved her, she had lost everything.
If she had nothing left, no one else should either!
She said coldly, “Yin Qin, it’s actually all your fault…”
“Yes, it’s all my fault. It’s my fault. Spare the little tiger, you can retaliate against me however you like!”
“Let me finish,” Ji Baixin’s face darkened.
Yin Qin fell silent.
At this moment, his mind was entirely focused on the little tiger. He couldn’t think of anything else, he couldn’t dare to think of anything else!
“If you hadn’t saved me back then, if you hadn’t made me believe you still loved me, I wouldn’t have ended up like this! If I had truly died then, I wouldn’t have had to endure so much pain now, and neither would you, so it’s all your fault. You killed your son with your own hands, it was you who killed him, you cannot blame anyone else…”
“Thud”.
Yin Qin suddenly fell to his knees.
Ji Baixin’s eyes fluttered a bit.
Yin Qin said, “Ji Baixin, I’m sorry. I mishandled things from the start and then abandoned you in the end. I deserve to die a thousand deaths. You can do whatever you want to me, I beg you, please spare the little tiger, I beg you, I beg you!”
Yin Qin really couldn’t take it anymore.
He completely broke down.
He knelt on the ground, at that moment even started kowtowing to Ji Baixin.
Forget kowtowing, he could even die.
If he could save the little tiger, if the little tiger would be safe, he was willing to do anything.
He kowtowed while tears streamed down his face.
His head was already bleeding from the impact.
Ji Baixin’s face hardened a bit.
At this moment, Luo Xiaolang was not concerned about Yin Qin. All her attention was on the tiny tiger that was held by Ji Baixin. She was even thinking, if she seized the little tiger now, could she stand a chance, could she save the little tiger.
Qin Keqin watched everything in front of her, she also felt like she was about to lose it.
What on earth did Yin Qin do to deserve this! What on earth did they do to deserve this!
Because of her intense emotions, the baby in her abdomen felt uncomfortable and was agitated from time to time. She just couldn’t calm down, she was simply unable to pacify herself…
She stared unblinkingly at Ji Baixin, at the tiny tiger in her hands.
“Ji Baixin, I’m begging you, I’m begging you!” Yin Qin mumbled, endlessly pleading with Ji Baixin to spare the little tiger in a near-crazed manner.
Ji Baixin’s eyes turned red.
Very red.
She really didn’t expect that Yin Qin would go this far for the little tiger.
At that moment, he kept kowtowing to her, and he was bleeding from his forehead. He didn’t seem to care about the pain, his grief was clear and his anguish was anything but hidden.
Ji Baixin asked, “Is the little tiger that important? So important that you would humble yourself to beg me?”
“Ji Baixin, as parents, we only want our child to grow up healthy, to live a healthy life. Ji Baixin, I beg you to let go of the little tiger. I’ll save you. I’ll agree to any conditions you propose, I promise, okay?” Yin Qin cried, his tears, snot, and blood were all mixed together.
This was the true state of a father when he learned that his own son was in danger.
Far from being heroic or brawny, he seemed weak and frail.
He said, “Spare the little tiger, let’s start over. I’m serious. I mean it…”
Yin Qin kept trying to persuade Ji Baixin, he really, really wanted to.
He kept saying, “Ji Baixin, actually I went to the orphanage today, looked at a lot of children, wondering which one you would like, a boy or a girl? I’ve already talked to the director, we can go choose a child tomorrow. We can start a family.”
Ji Baixin felt a ripple in her heart.
She didn’t expect that Yin Qin actually went to the orphanage to adopt a child, to adopt a child for them.
“Baixin, we can still make this work! We can be happy together for the rest of our lives. As long as you let go of the little tiger, as long as you take him back, we can go back to how we were before. Trust me, I beg you to trust me, okay?” Yin Qin kept kneeling on the ground, really exhausting all his efforts to beg her.
He truly didn’t know what he could do to make her let go of the little tiger, to prevent her from hurting the little tiger.
“I want to believe you too.” Ji Baixin was moved, but the very next second, she remembered Yin Qin saying that being with her was out of pity, she said, “You’re lying to me, aren’t you? Yin Qin, I have stooped this low, I’ve become so evil, how could you possibly still want to be with me? Now you want to trick me into giving the little tiger back to you, the next moment you’ll break up with me, then you’ll be back with Luo Xiaolang, heh…you really are despicable!”
“I really won’t be with Luo Xiaolang…”
“Why should I continue to be with Yin Qin!” Luo Xiaolang cut off Yin Qin, speaking plainly to Ji Baixin, “In your eyes, Yin Qin may be perfect, but in my eyes, he’s simply scum! He is the one who fled from our wedding ceremony! How much of a fool do you think I am to ever get back together with him!”
Ji Baixin’s eyes narrowed sharply, glaring fiercely at Luo Xiaolang.
“Ji Baixin, do you really believe I am heartless? Do you really believe I can’t distinguish between right and wrong? Do you really believe that after being hurt so deeply by Yin Qin, I could just move on as if nothing happened? I admit that I once truly loved Yin Qin, I felt for him, I was heartbroken for him, I was happy for him, but all of that is in the past. The man I loved is no longer the same after he ruined my wedding. I have since stopped loving him and have completely excluded him from my life since. If it wasn’t for your persistent intrusion, we would’ve never crossed paths again!”
“Stop lying to me…”
“I, Luo Xiaolang, have never lied to anyone since I was a child! At this moment, I can clearly tell you, Ji Baixin, I have someone I like now, someone I really like, and it’s not Yin Qin, it’s Joe!” Luo Xiaolang stated adamantly.
Joe, standing behind her, felt his heart skip a beat at Luo Xiaolang’s words.
Yin Qin, kneeling on the ground, also felt a painful twinge upon hearing her words.
“While I was with Yin Qin, I never felt warmth. I never experienced what it feels like to be treasured and cared for in the palm of a hand. I never felt intense love from a partner. I always thought that love was just a bland friendship, and the passionate romances portrayed in the television dramas were all fake, nothing more than dramatised fiction! It’s only now that I realise it’s not that these feelings don’t exist, but simply that Yin Qin didn’t have them for me! Fortunately, I have finally experienced such strong affection and sweetness from Joe.” Luo Xiaolang spoke to Ji Baixin, struggling to control her inner turmoil, telling her word by word.
Ji Baixin still didn’t believe.
She refused to believe anything Luo Xiaolang was saying.
She would never easily believe anyone, she only believes in herself!
Luo Xiaolang also discerned Ji Baixin’s emotions at that moment.
She abruptly turned around.
Joe looked at Luo Xiaolang.
Looked at her tear-blurred eyes.
He had always felt that Luo Xiaolang was a level-headed girl that never easily showed joy or pain on her face. But at this moment, he could truly see the sadness that she had unveiled on her face.
She looked at Joe.
Tears streamed down unabated.
Looking at Joe, she stated, “Joe, I like you.”
Joe’s heart was racing.
If it were not for the current circumstances, he would have hugged Luo Xiaolang and leapt for joy right now, telling her that he too liked her, that he liked her so much that he wanted to spend his whole life with her from the moment he first saw her.
Suppressing his emotions, his throat constricted.
Luo Xiaolang tip-toed.
Her cheeks drew close to Joe.
A gentle kiss landed softly on Joe’s lips.
Joe went rigid.
Ji Baixin was observing their every move.
She suddenly laughed.
She laughed again.
It turned out Luo Xiaolang truly no longer liked Yin Qin.
It turned out Luo Xiaolang truly wouldn’t get back with Yin Qin!
She found it ironic.
She had done so much, and in the end, it turned out that she was the one who was self-destructing, the one who was being presumptuous.
Even though Yin Qin didn’t turn his head at the moment, it was as if he had already witnessed in his head what Luo Xiaolang was doing to Joe.
He knew it all along.
He knew he couldn’t be with Luo Xiaolang anymore.
He knew very well that Luo Xiaolang would sooner or later fall for a man who treated her well.
A man who genuinely cared for her.
In this life.
This life… he would just live it in such a manner.
Ji Baixin watched and laughed.
Tears began to slide down her face again.
Had she really misunderstood Yin Qin and Luo Xiaolang?
The sight of Luo Xiaolang kissing Joe passionately couldn’t possibly be staged.
So…
So…
She was wrong.
She was wrong in thinking Luo Xiaolang would get back together with Yin Qin. She thought Luo Xiaolang was intentionally antagonizing her!
But…
She was wrong.
So what could she do?
At this point, even if she understood now, what difference would it make?
Yin Qin won’t forgive her.
She pushed Yin Qin into this state, even threatened the life of the little tiger. It’s impossible for Yin Qin to start over with her.
Anyway…
She truly doesn’t want to live anymore.
Living in this world is meaningless now.
There is nothing in this world worth her longing for anymore.
Her eyes narrowed.
In that moment, holding the little tiger, she jumped over the railings.
Yin Qin quickly reached out and grabbed Ji Baixin.
Yin Qin held onto Ji Baixin’s body, preventing her from falling.
Hearing the commotion, Luo Xiaolang also ran over quickly.
In that moment, Qin Keqin fainted from shock.
As she fainted, there was blood flowing from her lower body…
“Let me go, Yin Qin!” cried Ji Baixin, struggling. “If you don’t let go of me, I’ll throw the little tiger down… Ah…”
Luo Xiaolang threw himself over the railing.
The moment he fell, he quickly snatched the little tiger from Ji Baixin’s hands, then fell heavily with the little tiger in his arms.
“Xiaolang!” Joe shouted.
They couldn’t reach her in time.
Luo Xiaolang was fast. He had jumped right in and immediately shielded the little tiger as he fell.
Yin Qin watched as Luo Xiaolang jumped right beside him.
In the moment Luo Xiaolang jumped.
The little tiger was fiercely protected in Luo Xiaolang’s arms.
There was a loud “bang” from below, followed by a violent noise.
Joe quickly ran down from upstairs.
In that moment, Yin Qin seemed to be in a stupor.
Still in a stupor, he held onto Ji Baixin tightly, preventing her from falling, but not pulling her up either.
He was staring fixedly at Luo Xiaolang and the little tiger, who had been thrown down from the building.
At that moment, it seemed his whole world had collapsed.
Tears fell from his eyes, drop by drop.
He heard the little tiger crying. The little tiger was still crying, signaling it was okay, that it wasn’t hurt.
To think someone as agile Luo Xiaolang couldn’t possibly fail to protect someone.
But what about her?!
What about herself?!
Yin Qin saw where Luo Xiaolang fell. The place was quickly stained red with blood….
…
On the open ground below.
Luo Xiaolang was tightly holding the little tiger.
The little tiger was crying bitterly in Luo Xiaolang’s arms, but was unscathed.
Yet, Xiaolang in order to protect the little tiger, had landed directly on his back on the garden floor. His head banged on the floor, with blood pooling around him.
Joe had already reached Luo Xiaolang’s side.
He didn’t dare to touch Luo Xiaolang at that moment, fearing that she would fall apart at the slightest touch.
His eyes were red to the brim. He quickly took out his cellphone. His vision blurred, he didn’t know how Xiaolang was doing, he didn’t know how Xiaolang was doing?
He was making a phone call.
He was calling for an ambulance.
He had never panicked like this before. Even at the most critical point in the game, he had never been so frantic. His mind was suddenly blank and couldn’t think of anything.
The Yin family’s servants also quickly called for an ambulance.
Meanwhile, upstairs.
“Yin Qin, your mom is bleeding, your mom is bleeding!” Yuan Bin yelled.
Yin Qin seemed to react at that moment.
He gritted his teeth.
With a burst of strength, he pulled Ji Baixin up.
Ji Baixin looked at Yin Qin in disbelief.
He thought he would have washed his hands off it, but he didn’t expect it that he would still rescue her.
Just as she was about to speak, Yin Qin had already rapidly rushed towards his mother, swiftly picked her up and dashed downstairs.
Yin Bin also anxiously followed behind Yin Qin, looking at the blood between Qin Keqin’s legs…
He dared not imagine what could happen!
He really did not dare to imagine.
The ambulance arrived.
Yin Qin carried Qin Keqin onto the ambulance.
Meantime.
The paramedics also lifted Luo Xiaolang into the ambulance.
At that moment, the little tiger was held by Aunt Wu in her arms, still weeping heartbreakingly until he lost his voice.
Joe held Luo Xiaolang’s hand the whole time.
Luo Xiaolang’s eyes were closed at this point, the blood from the back of his head was tightly covered by the medical staff.
The ambulance swiftly headed towards the hospital.
At the side, Joe kept calling Luo Xiaolang’s name, “Xiaolang, you must hang in there, you must stay alive. I haven’t told you that I really like you, I really, really like you…”
Yin Qin was also at the side, just listening nearby.
Silently listening.
He didn’t know if when a person reached the ultimate limit of sorrow, they would truly no longer feel sadness.
He looked at Luo Xiaolang, looked at his mother, numbly, as if he couldn’t feel a thing.
At that moment, he truly felt that he was the most abhorrent man on earth.
Not even a thousand deaths would be enough!
The ambulance quickly arrived at the hospital.
Doctors were already waiting.
Luo Xiaolang and Qin Keqin were separately rushed into the emergency room.
The little tiger was also taken to the pediatric department for an examination at that moment, to ensure he hadn’t sustained any internal injuries.
Outside the corridors of the emergency room.
Only Yin Qin, Yin Bin, and Joe were left.
Aunt Wu had followed the little tiger to the pediatric department.
None of them spoke a word, the corridor was silent. It seemed as if everyone was afraid of breaking the tranquility of the moment. Everyone was trying to suppress their emotions.
A long time passed.
It really felt like an eternity.
Time seemed to drag.
The door to the emergency room opened.
The doctor came out.
Yin Bin and Joe quickly rushed over.
Yin Qin just stood not far away, watching them with their eager looks.
The doctor said, “Who’s the family of Qin Keqin?”
“I am!” Yin Bin quickly replied, “How is she, doctor? I beg you, please save her!”
“Family members, please don’t panic. Both the mother and the baby are currently safe. The amount of bleeding is quite significant at her stage, but fortunately, it has stopped now. The womb was also examined and no abnormalities were found. The baby’s heartbeat is back to normal at this moment.”
“Does she need to give birth prematurely?” Yin Bin asked.
“We can observe for now. Personally, I think that since the baby is only 8 months old, it’s better to wait until full term. Premature birth usually comes with a lot of congenital diseases. We don’t suggest to do so unless necessary.”
“Alright, alright, we will listen to the doctor. What should we pay attention to now?” Yin Bin asked anxiously.
“She still needs to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation. If she remains stable for a week, she can go home and wait until it’s time to give birth. However, if the bleeding reoccurs, be prepared for premature delivery,” said the doctor, adding, “Considering she’s an older expectant mother, we can’t afford any mistakes in the later stages. I heard this was due to an emotional outburst?”
“Yes, yes. We’ll be more careful next time. We’ll definitely be careful.”
“Even if medical science is very advanced, childbirth is a simple matter, but it does not rule out the one in ten-thousand chance of both mother and child’s lives being at risk. One in ten-thousand may seem small, yet when it happens to you, the likelihood becomes a hundred percent. The family must take this as a warning.”
“I will, I definitely will.” Yin Bin was very nervous.
At this moment, hearing the news that everything was alright, he could not relax. His forehead was covered in sweat.
The doctor noticed Yin Bin’s anxiety and said, “Try to relax a bit. If you’re this nervous, the mother will think we’re lying to her. Try to adjust your emotions.”
“Okay.” Yin Bin nodded.
He took deep, calming breaths.
Meanwhile, Qin Keqin was wheeled out.
Her face was somewhat pale.
After knowing about her pregnancy for this period of time, Yin Bin has really taken good care of Qin Keqin, making her plump and rosy. Seeing her in this state now, it truly breaks his heart.
Yin Bin quickly moved to her and reassured Qin Keqin, “It’s all right now, you and the baby are okay.”
He was clearly relieved.
But Yin Bin’s eyes were turning red.
Qin Keqin felt a flutter in her heart.
From the villa to the hospital, she had been quite drowsy.
She knew Yin Bin had been holding her hand tightly and kept telling her to be brave and strong, and not to give up no matter what.
The moment she was pushed into the emergency room, she felt Yin Bin, reluctantly, let go of her hand, whispered in her ear, “Qin Keqin, I can’t lose you in this lifetime…”
She was truly moved by this old man.
It was such a simple declaration of love, but it made her realize that despite all they’ve been through, all the unpleasantness over the past twenty plus years, she didn’t regret any of it. She didn’t regret knowing him and falling in love with him!
Now, she was looking at Yin Bin, watching the tears shimmering uncontrollably in his eyes. She said, “Yin Bin, the little tiger and Xiaolang…”
“They’re fine. The little tiger has just gone for basic checkup. Nurse Wu just told me that the little tiger is perfectly normal without even a scratch. Right now, Nurse Wu has taken him to the ward since it’s his feeding time.”
“What about Xiaolang?” Qin Keqin asked weakly.
“Xiaolang…”
Qin Keqin’s mood changed again.
“Don’t panic, I haven’t even said anything yet, how can I say anything if you’re like this?” Yin Bin was scared.
The doctor had just said that the pregnant woman should not be agitated.
“You say it, you say it,” Qin Keqin tried to control herself.
“Xiaolang is still in the operating room, we’ll know more when she comes out. But I believe in karma, Xiaolang will definitely be all right!”
“Mm-hmm.” Qin Keqin nodded.
She nodded silently.
She knew she couldn’t get too excited at this moment.
All she could do was hope, hope that Xiaolang would be safe.
Yin Bin took Qin Keqin away first.
Only Yin Qin and Joe were left.
The two of them waited a long time in the corridor.
They waited for a very, very long time.
It felt like an eternity.
The door to the emergency room finally opened again.
The doctor came out.
Yin Qin just watched from a distance.
He dared not move forward, he didn’t have the qualification to do so.
The doctor asked, “Family of Luo Xiaolang?”
“Me.” Joe answered firmly.
Yes.
It was Joe.
As for himself.
He was just a scumbag!
The doctor said, “Even though she lost a lot of blood and suffered a head injury, fortunately, she was brought in in time. We have promptly stopped the bleeding and there’s no residual blood in the skull, which is a silver lining. The patient has regained consciousness and doesn’t feel much discomfort, but still needs to stay in the hospital for observation, to prevent sudden massive internal bleeding from a concussion.”
“Yes,” Joe quickly responded and couldn’t help but ask, “So, Xiaolang is not in immediate danger now?”
“Not at the moment. But we have to see how the next few days go. She shouldn’t be moving around or engaging in any strenuous activities these days, and should rest until her brain is fully recovered!”
“Okay, thank you, doctor.”
“It’s my duty.” The doctor gave a small smile.
Then.
Luo Xiaolang was pushed out.
Her head was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, her face was pale, and her lips were almost colorless.
Joe, feeling a surge of emotions, rushed over to Xiaolang and asked her, “How do you feel? Is your head aching? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else? The doctor said there is no immediate danger.”
“What about the little tiger?” Luo Xiaolang asked weakly, her voice barely audible. But her first concern was still for the little tiger.
“He’s fine, unharmed in your arms. Right now, Nurse Wu is holding him, waiting for you in the ward.”
Luo Xiaolang finally let out a sigh of relief.
She slowly closed her eyes and said, “As long as he’s okay.”
Joe felt a pang of heartache.
To Luo Xiaolang, her own body was completely unimportant.
The more she behaves like this, the more he wants to take care of her, and pamper her. He wished he could relentlessly return all the warmth she had ever lacked in this world.
Fortunately.
Fortunately, the heavens had given him the chance!
From now on, he would never let go of her hand!
…
Joe and a few nurses pushed Luo Xiaolang past Yin Qin.
No one noticed him.
He felt like a superfluous person.
Indeed, he was very superfluous.
If he were to continue living like this, shouldn’t the heavens take him away sooner?
He stood up.
He was also injured all over his body.
But none of that seemed important at that moment.
He always had the feeling that he was so disgusting, and it was an act of mercy from the heavens that his life wasn’t taken away.
He walked out of the hospital step by step.
It’s good as long as they are safe.
And he wasn’t qualified to be close to them.
No matter whether it was his biological mother or… Xiaolang.
He figured the best way for them was to stay away from them.
He finally managed to get a taxi.
Only after giving ten thousand dollars, did a taxi agree to carry him, a person stained with blood who might die at any second.
While sitting in the taxi, he picked up the phone and dialed, “Hello, is this 110? I want to report a crime.”
Yin Qin finished telling the story.
He hung up the phone.
He was just silently looking at the scenery outside the car window.
The car finally reached its destination, Ji Baixin’s private apartment.
He waited for a while.
Four policemen appeared in front of him.
He led them to the front of Ji Baixin’s house.
Yin Qin keyed in the passcode, unlocked the door, and walked in.
As expected, Ji Baixin was at home at that moment.
She looked at Yin Qin.
She was a bit surprised at that moment, but the next second, she understood.
Because the police were here.
She knew Yin Qin wouldn’t let her go.
How could he possibly let her go.
She scoffed, “You called the police to arrest me?”
“Murderers pay with their lives, attempted murderers are within the jurisdiction of the law too,” Yin Qin enunciated each word.
“So this is how you’re kind to me!” Ji Baixin said mockingly.
“My kindness to you vanished completely the moment you held the little tiger on the balcony.”
“Is it?” Ji Baixin was unusually calm at this moment.
“I always thought I could tolerate you for a long time, I would hear whatever you said … if you don’t cross my bottom line, I could give what you want. My life included! But now looking back, I truly overestimated myself, only now do I realized, I couldn’t tolerate you for even a second.”
“Finally admitting it now? Finally admitting your feelings for me, your so-called kindness to me, are so insignificant!”
“Yes, I admit it. I admit that I don’t love you, I love Luo Xiaolang.”
Ji Baixin’s face changed.
“Thanks to your drama, I discovered that I truly deeply love Luo Xiaolang, and also realized that I not only don’t love you, but I even detest you!”
Inside the room, Yin Qin spoke with deep sincerity!
Ji Baixin was a bit devastated, “That’s enough Yin Qin!”
“No, it’s not enough. I need to get everything I’ve been through with you off my chest.”
Ji Baixin was trembling with anger.
“You knew it all along, my feeling towards you was only obligation. Only because you had suffered so much misfortune, I felt pity for you, tolerating and being with you out of compassion. However, you repeatedly challenged my bottom line, making my compassion for you slowly turn into disgust. I am not afraid to tell you that, that night, when we agreed to be intimate, you pushed me away. My sadness was not because you pushed me away, my sadness was only because I discovered that I didn’t want to touch you at all.”
“Yin Qin…” Ji Baixin’s voice broke.
She couldn’t bear being humiliated by Yin Qin anymore, she just couldn’t bear it!
“You asked me if I think you’re dirty?” Yin Qin said. For a moment he spoke plainly. “Yes, I do. A woman who could climb into a man’s bed right when she turned 18, just how clean could she be? In this regard, you and Luo Xiaolang are truly worlds apart.”
“Yin Qin, shut up, just shut up!”
“When Luo Xiaolang was with me, it was her first time. No, it was our first time together.” Yin Qin said, even laughing a bit.
It sounded very sweet.
Ji Baixin felt her world falling apart inside.
What did Yin Qin’s smile mean? What did his happiness mean?
“Yin Qin, how could you be so vicious, so disgusting!” Ji Baijian cried.
“I learned it from you.” Yin Qin replied, raising his eyebrows.
Ji Baixin was very agitated.
“Ji Baixin, this is the end of our relationship. How you will fare in prison, that’s your own fault. Reflect on your life in prison. Reflect on whether you were right or wrong.”
“Yin Qin, you’re so cruel, you don’t show any mercy!” Ji Baixin gritted her teeth.
Yin Qin was really, really sending her to prison!
He didn’t give her any leeway.
At this moment he was bringing the police to the door.
Her eyes were bloodshot.
“With you, I can’t bring myself to be merciful again.”
With that, Yin Qin turned to leave.
“Yin Qin, you think by treating me like this, you could live happily ever after with Luo Xiaolang? Dream on! Luo Xiaolang truly likes Joe. I can see it clearly!”
“I know.” Yin Qin still sounded calm. “I know she likes Joe, and I know she won’t be with me. But it doesn’t stop me from loving her.”
“What’s so great about Luo Xiaolang that you have to like her? Just because she’s pretty now?”
“I admit people are sensual creatures, but with Luo Xiaolang, I do not like her just because she’s attractive. Besides, after experiencing everything with you, I finally realize that no beauty can cover up the ugliness of a person’s heart; it’s still disgusting!”
Ji Baixin was left with no dignity under Yin Qin’s mocking words.
“Last thing, I will run a headline about your actions in the past few days for a whole month. I’ll let the whole world know what kind of person Ji Baixin truly is, with her vile nature!”
“Yin Qin, have you gone mad? Are you really going to expose me like this!”
“No, I haven’t gone mad. I’m quite calm now. And I always keep my word.” Yin Qin looked at Ji Baixin.
“Why are you doing this to me, why?”
“Because, I really hate you. Hate you so much that I can’t remember what I owe you, hate you so much that I want to tear you to pieces!” Yin Qin’s bloodthirsty eyes glinted fleetingly.
At that moment, Ji Baixin truly felt that Yin Qin might kill her.
He might actually kill her right there and then.
But at this moment, he turned and left.
Because, staining his hands with her blood is not worth it. An eye for an eye, it’s not worth it!
“Yin Qin, I’ll hate you for the rest of my life!” Ji Baixin raged at his retreating figure.
“And I, I will only try my best to wipe you from my life, because whenever I remember how much I gave to you, I wish I could kill myself! Never has there been a time when I truly wish I had never met someone!”
Ji Baixin watched Yin Qin’s figure fade away with blurred vision.
Yin Qin paused again, “I must tell you again, when I said I wanted to be with you, I meant it, even though I didn’t love you. And when I told you today to adopt a child from the orphanage, it was true, I wanted to live a good life with you. But…you really hurt all my good intentions. I now feel that everything I did was just me asking for humiliation! Fortunately, it’s all over now. I see clearly what kind of person you really are, and I also recognize who I should give my life to. Take care of yourself!”
In the end.
Without saying anything more, he left.
He didn’t know if Ji Baixin would regret everything she had done. He didn’t know if one day she would have a change of heart and realize that she was really wrong. But in fact, none of these mattered to him anymore. Ji Baixin didn’t matter anymore. There was nothing worth pursuing in regard to what happened to her!
From now on, his world will be without Ji Baixin.
Never again!
Love that lasted so many years, persistence that lasted a lifetime, it all ended now!
No more affections, no more guilt.
Ji Baixin would completely disappear from his life.
He left Ji Baixin’s apartment.
He walked the streets alone, carrying his pain with him.
At this moment, it was already midnight.
There were fewer people out, fewer cars, even the air seemed thin.
He just kept on walking.
He didn’t know for how long.
Finally, he collapsed.
He fell heavily onto the street!
At that moment.
He wished he was dead.
It would be better if he was dead…
…
Under the same sky.
Not only Yin Qin was experiencing the cruelest moment of life.
But also Ji Baijian, who Yin Qin had always admired like a god.
Time rewinds to that afternoon.
Song Zhizhi called to invite him to dinner and asked him to dress up.
He accepted the invitation.
He wore a black suit with a gold collar.
This suit was picked by Song Zhizhi the first time they truly met. He remembered clearly that day Song Zhizhi told him that she was declaring to the world that he belonged to her.
Therefore, this suit held an extraordinary significance for him.
He has kept it till now.
The location for tonight’s dinner was on a boat.
The boat was decorated with extreme grandeur.
It seemed like the boat was cleared, they were the only customers on the huge deck, existing in a somewhat lonely manner.
When he arrived.
Song Zhizhi was already there.
She stood on the deck, her long hair fluttering in the breeze.
She was wearing a black evening dress, the fitted design highlighted her alluring figure, not revealing too much skin, yet inducing endless imaginations, dreamily beautiful.
At this moment, Ji Baijian truly felt that Song Zhizhi under the moonlight looked like she appeared in his dream, it seemed so unreal.
At that moment, she heard a sound and turned around.
She looked at Ji Baijian standing not far away.
No matter how long it had been or how many times she saw him, his handsome appearance was still so striking, making her unable to divert her gaze. At that moment, her eyes could only be drawn tightly to his deep eyes, unable to look away.
The night sky tonight was beautiful.
The vast stars, magnificent!
Such beautiful scenery and such beautiful people, they just gazed at each other silently.
They didn’t know how long it had been.
Song Zhizhi laughed.
Her laughter was still so beautiful.
She said, “Ji Baijian, it’s been a long time since we’ve had a date like this, hasn’t it?”
“It has been a long time.”
“The most recent memory I have is of going to Beixia Country, at that time we were trying our best to make plans.”
“But in the end, things didn’t go as we wished.”
Song Zhizhi just smiled.
She said, “Let’s have dinner first. I’m hungry.”
Ji Baijian nodded.
At that moment, he didn’t immediately sit down, but pulled out her chair like a gentleman, indicating her to sit first.
Song Zhizhi felt her heart trembling.
Actually, Ji Baijian probably knew everything, right?
He probably knew everything, yet he still went along with her, doing everything her way.
She controlled her emotions.
And sat down on the chair.
She thought that after she settled down, Ji Baijian would sit back in his own seat.
But at that moment, Ji Baijian suddenly leaned over.
His lips, just like that, pressed firmly against hers…
Song Zhizhi was startled.
Immediately afterward.
She closed her eyes, her small hand tightly clutching his, clothes hem.
