Xu Ke was slightly taken aback, it’s been a long ti since he heard the term "househusband," and hearing it suddenly felt a bit unfamiliar. But the expression on Xu Ke’s face seed like tacit approval in the eyes of the man.
"I said, Lin ngyao, back then you had so many n chasing you, many of whom were quality n like . Whoever you chose, you could still be a rich lady now. Why did you end up choosing such a loser? What on earth is there to like about him? Is it his pretty-boy looks?" The man scrutinized Xu Ke from head to toe with a critical eye and spoke.
"I really didn’t expect you to be such a shallow woman—you must be facing the consequences by now, right?" The man looked at Lin ngyao with a face full of pity.
"What are you talking about?" Lin ngyao was stunned by the conceited look on the man’s face, speaking in disbelief.
But the man didn’t detect Lin ngyao’s emotions at all; he thought her reaction was because he had touched a nerve. "What’s wrong, did I hit the mark? Embarrassed, aren’t you? I rember you always looked glamorous back then, but look at you now, falling into such a state. If it weren’t for your unchanged face, I would have thought I admired the wrong person back then." The man sighed deeply and said.
"Although you’ve changed a lot compared to before, it doesn’t matter. I won’t despise you. As long as you leave this man and stay with wholeheartedly, I promise to let you live the sa way as before, without having to continue living this hard life." The man spoke with what he thought was deep affection.
"Heh, you actually want to keep my woman? Where do you get the face?" Xu Ke said with sarcasm and coldness on his face.
"People, the key virtue is self-awareness. You, a kept pretty boy, can’t provide Lin ngyao the life she wants. You’re born in the mud, and you should stay there honestly. The outside world isn’t for you. If you have any conscience or gratitude, you should let Lin ngyao live the life she wants, instead of dragging her to live with you in the mire. What can you offer her compared to ? You can’t offer her anything. Or do you plan to go back to selling your looks to curry favor with a rich woman and use her money to support Lin ngyao? Doing so is humiliating to her, not good for her." The man said, pointing at Xu Ke’s nose.
Xu Ke was almost defeated by the imagined scenarios of the other party. He and Lin ngyao stood there, looking at the man with eyes that seed to see a fool, but the man remained blissfully unaware, continuing to speak happily.
When the man finally grew tired of talking and stopped, Xu Ke spoke, "It’s really a pity you’re not in the entertainnt industry with such imagination."
"Heh, embarrassed after realizing I was right? If you truly loved Lin ngyao and appreciated the Lin Family’s kindness, you should divorce her and let her pursue a better life." The man stepped forward, attempting to speak closely in Xu Ke’s ear, but awkwardly discovered that his height only reached Xu Ke’s chin, so he stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to whisper in Xu Ke’s ear.
"I’m living very happily right now, please stop imagining scenarios that haven’t happened, and don’t decide for out of the blue, it’s really disgusting." Lin ngyao rolled her eyes ungracefully.
Seeing Lin ngyao’s words irritated the tall man who had been watching the scene on the side, he furrowed his brows and spoke discontentedly: "How could you say sothing like that? Zuo Jun was speaking for your benefit, yet you act so ungrateful."
"So you think helping soone ans advising them to divorce, then keeping them, making them beg at your feet? I really hope you have more friends like that when you hit rock bottom." Xu Ke shielded Lin ngyao behind him and spoke coldly.
"Did I talk to you? How dare you speak to like that, do you know who I am?" The tall man took a step forward, looking at Xu Ke with an overbearing expression.
"The person speaking with you is the CEO of one of the Fortune 500 companies, worth billions at such a young age, and you talk to him like this? Don’t you want to survive?" Zuo Jun looked at Xu Ke with ill intent and said.
"However, I’m not a narrow-minded person, as long as you apologize to my friend and set this lady free, I won’t pursue this matter. I might even help arrange a decent job for you so you won’t have to live so miserably." The tall man spoke with a condescending tone filled with humiliation.
"Is being a Fortune 500 anything special? I’ve never considered you guys worth my ti. We’re heading back, no ti to waste on you. Here’s a word of advice, those who can co to this island aren’t ordinary people, so don’t say things that make people laugh. Luckily for you, I have a good temper. If you et soone with a bad temper, your face might not fare well." Xu Ke sneered, his face adorned with a smile that held no warmth.
Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, the expression of the tall man showed a hint of hesitation, but Zuo Jun clutched his stomach and laughed heartily, "There are indeed lots of people with status here on this island, but does it include you? Did you think we don’t know? This island not only has noble guests but also workers guarding it. Look at your appearance now, pretending to be soone with status, do you think we’re blind or stupid to be fooled by you!" Zuo Jun loudly rebuked.
"Have we been too gentle with you, so you dared to deceive us? How about this, since you can’t handle our goodwill, we’ll take it back. Kneel and kowtow. As long as you do this, I won’t tell the island’s owner, and you can keep your job; otherwise, you’ll be left in the cold." Zuo Jun said with malicious intent.
"Lin ngyao, I just gave you a choice, yet you stubbornly refuse the good and choose the bad. I might not be able to marry you, but as long as you follow , you can escape this poor life, re-enter high society, and beco the lady of the Lin Family. Even if I get married and break up later, the money I give you will be enough to live comfortably for the rest of your life. But you ungratefully waste ti on this loser, even rolling your eyes at , so I’ve changed my mind." Zuo Jun bit his teeth and coldly smiled at Lin ngyao.
"Your husband needs to kneel and kowtow to . Only when I’m satisfied will I let him go. As for you, accompany . Once I’ve had enough, we’ll pretend this never happened; otherwise, I’ll make your whole family suffer." Zuo Jun said with malice.
