Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 705 - 704: Sprinkling Salt
Chapter 705: Chapter 704: Sprinkling Salt
"Let go of me, let go..."
Jiang Man cried and struggled with all her might.
But she was no match for Zhang Xiaoshan, who held her tightly, preventing any escape.
"You, let go of me, if you keep holding on to me, I’ll bite my tongue and kill myself.
As she spoke, Jiang Man actually attempted to do so, with blood already trickling from the corner of her mouth, which frightened Zhang Xiaoshan into hastily releasing her and stepping back.
"Don’t, Sister Man, don’t be rash, I, I won’t touch you anymore."
"I, I just wanted to tell you, there’s some misunderstanding about that video."
"Misunderstanding, what misunderstanding, what are you talking about?"
Jiang Man’s eyes were bloodshot as she stared at Zhang Xiaoshan.
Even though she hated Zhang Xiaoshan to her core by now, she still hoped to hear an explanation from him, perhaps there really was some misunderstanding, her heart clung to a sliver of hope.
After all, she was still in love with Zhang Xiaoshan.
"I..."
Zhang Xiaoshan wanted to explain that it wasn’t his intention to gift Bai Shutong such an expensive car, but saying this would be like not saying anything at all and would indirectly prove that he did want to give Bai Shutong a car.
Wouldn’t that be like rubbing salt into Jiang Man’s wounds?
"You speak, just say it."
Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan remain silent, Jiang Man became even more agitated.
"Sob sob..."
She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, choking up, and said through clenched teeth.
"So you’re admitting it, huh?"
"Heh."
Then, she followed with self-mocking laughter.
Her eyelids were swollen, her eyes filled with bloodshot veins, as she stared fixedly at Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Zhang Xiaoshan, you’re truly not human, really."
"You have affairs with those women, and I kept persuading myself, telling myself it was before me, that it could be forgiven. I even continuously convinced myself to try and accept this abnormal polyamorous relationship."
"But, but you’ve truly shattered my values."
"Bai Shutong was someone I introduced to you."
"And I did it to help you. I can understand if you went after anyone else, but how could you do this to her?"
"By doing this, aren’t you just deliberately bullying me? What do you take me for, a brothel madam?"
"Not only do I have to accept that you have other women, but I also have to scout for beauties for you, is that it?"
Jiang Man stared into Zhang Xiaoshan’s eyes, biting her own lips, with traces of blood already evident on her pearly teeth.
Jiang Man’s words left Zhang Xiaoshan with no face to show.
"I, I really didn’t mean that."
Zhang Xiaoshan wanted to explain but didn’t know how.
He could only look down, somewhat ashamed, and speak softly to Jiang Man.
"I know I’m to blame, I’m truly very sorry."
"But I have never thought of deceiving you, never thought of hurting you, I, I love you."
"Love me? But you also love other women, don’t you?"
"Zhang Xiaoshan, I see through you now, you’re nothing but a scumbag."
"I was wrong about you, I loved the wrong person, I shouldn’t have fallen for you."
Following that, she ground her teeth, enunciating each word deliberately.
"Zhang Xiaoshan."
"I."
"Never."
"Want, to see you again."
Having said that, Jiang Man wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and turned to leave.
"Sister Man, I..."
Zhang Xiaoshan again reached out and grabbed Jiang Man’s arm, trying to hold her back.
Jiang Man turned to look at Zhang Xiaoshan.
This time, Zhang Xiaoshan could clearly sense that Jiang Man’s gaze held only resentment and coldness.
"You disgust me, do you understand? Let go of me."
Jiang Man forcefully shook off Zhang Xiaoshan’s hand and left.
Her departing figure was slightly shaky and staggering, trembling continuously in the autumn breeze.
There’s no greater sorrow than a dead heart.
Zhang Xiaoshan’s Divine Thought was powerful, and even from such a distance, he could acutely feel Jiang Man’s heart-wrenching pain.
"Heh, Brother Zhang."
At that moment, Luo Yihua, who had been leaning out of the corridor window enjoying the drama, came out.
Although Zhang Xiaoshan and Jiang Man had argued, and it looked like they might even break up completely, Luo Yihua knew that Zhang Xiaoshan was a dark horse, and still maintained a very good attitude towards him, gently advising him.
"Brother, it’s understandable for a man to have an affair, but this time, you seem to have gone a bit too far. Whether or not you can continue with Vice Chairman Jiang, I think you should offer her a sincere apology."
"Of course I know that, she’s furious right now, she won’t listen to anything I say. I’ll wait for a more appropriate time, sigh."
Zhang Xiaoshan sighed helplessly before responding.
"Security Chief Luo, I’m here on serious business today. The money that Wu Damming lost, I’ve found it."
"You’ve found it?"
Luo Yihua was quite astonished.
...
An hour later, Zhang Xiaoshan walked out of the security compound.
Since Wu Damming’s case had entered the prosecution stage, this money definitely needed to be deposited into a supervised account for review, but retrieving the full sum could reduce Wu Damming’s sentence.
That old fellow might be detestable, but he keeps his word.
Ever since Zhang Xiaoshan brought Jia Lanhua to see Wu Damming, Wu Damming had kept his side of the bargain by reversing his testimony, taking all responsibility upon himself. The facts were quite close to that, the only benefit being that Su Xiangmei’s role changed from a accomplice to a victim.
Just now, Zhang Xiaoshan had processed Su Xiangmei’s bail pending trial, and she should be released in a few days after due procedure.
Sitting in the car, Zhang Xiaoshan opened Douyin.
Big data recommendations immediately pushed the video of him and Bai Shutong causing a scene in front of Su Qi at the hotel entrance to him.
"Handsome man gifts beauty a luxury car worth four million, causing a sensation on the street."
"Shocking, according to a tip-off, the woman involved is the golden pen chief editor of the provincial newspaper..."
"So romantic."
"Rich folks finding their true love."
"I bet this rich second generation is just captivated by the beauty of the female journalist, to play around for a few days, then kick her away when he’s tired of her."
"Exactly, exactly, I guarantee that this guy definitely has more than one woman."
The comments section had all sorts of remarks, and Zhang Xiaoshan felt like his head was about to explode.
Just then, his phone rang.
