Xin Ke’s voice was full of suppressed sobs, Sheng Jiayu just felt a surge of emotions in her heart. She knew she should decisively hang up the phone.
Xin Ke has his own family, and she now has her own boyfriend. She should not have any more entanglents with her ex-husband, she should not be so pathetic.
But the person on the other end of the line was the man she had loved for thirteen years. How could she harden her heart when he spoke to her so pitifully?
Soon, it seed like another person took over the call: "Sister-in-law, I’m begging you, please co see Brother Xin. He’s not doing well, really not well."
The person speaking, Jiayu recognized, was Xin Ke’s brother and assistant, nad Li Chengda. He wasn’t highly educated, but he was very loyal and had also been very kind to her before.
Sheng Jiayu pressed her lips tightly together, still without a word.
Li Chengda spoke again from the other end: "Sister-in-law, Brother Xin had an incident today, please just co see him."
Thirteen years of love eventually overca the pride in her heart. Jiayu didn’t care that her hair was still half-dry, she changed clothes and rushed out.
The car sped through the night. She knew she had made a wrong decision, she knew she was walking further down this path of humiliation, but she had no choice.
This is the last ti, the last ti.
Jiayu kept repeating in her heart.
She hated herself like this, really hated it.
The car soon arrived at the location Xin Ke ntioned, a bar hidden deep in an alley, lively but not chaotic.
This was also why they used to like coming here.
Jiayu stepped inside. Because the bar was small, she imdiately saw the two people sitting in the corner drinking. Li Chengda was sitting next to Xin Ke with a half-empty bottle of beer in front of him, while a pile of bottles was in front of Xin Ke, a mix of cocktails, beer, spirits, and everything.
Jiayu pressed her lips and walked over, standing in front of Li Chengda: "What’s wrong with him?"
Seeing her, Li Chengda looked as if he saw a savior, quickly stood up: "Sister-in-law, you’re here, please persuade him."
Jiayu’s gaze fell on Xin Ke. She knew his drinking capacity, this much could get him drunk, but it shouldn’t be enough to knock him out, considering many of his past business deals were sealed one drink at a ti.
The man slumped over the table seed to hear sothing, lifted his intoxicated eyes to look over, focused on Jiayu for two seconds, and suddenly grabbed her hand, pressing it to his forehead: "I’m sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong, Jiayu, I’m sorry..."
Jiayu was frozen, even forgetting to pull her hand back.
She swallowed, trying hard to move her gaze away, looking towards Li Chengda: "What exactly happened?"
Li Chengda looked a bit grim, scratched his head, cursed "Fck" under his breath, then sighed deeply before saying to Jiayu: "I don’t know the specifics either. Brother Xin suddenly called today, I thought he might have argued with that woman again. Sister-in-law, you don’t know, these days that woman almost argues with Brother Xin every day. The company is now a ss because of that woman, so I thought Brother Xin just argued with her again."
"Get to the point."
Li Chengda’s expression beca even uglier: "When I got here, Brother Xin had already drunk quite a bit. He just kept saying sothing about the child not being his or sothing."
