When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 765: You’d Better Pray You Don’t Fall Into My Hands (5)
Sheng Jiayu was actually laughing, she was actually laughing, her brows arched pleasantly, and her already beautiful face was now enveloped in a halo, making it impossible for anyone to take their eyes off her.
Mu Ke knew she was serious about what she said, these words he had waited a long time to hear.
However, Mu Ke didn’t feel excited for long; soon his heart was deeply pained.
To be disappointed to such an extent with someone from the past, how much must she have suffered to feel this kind of excitement at realizing she no longer loved him?
Sheng Jiayu no longer caring about Xin Ke was what he had longed for, but reaching this moment, Mu Ke found himself feeling more heartache.
The woman before him must have been extremely disappointed and felt as cold as ice to finally lose all emotion towards him, and this was all built upon the pain she had endured.
Mu Ke felt unbearable heartache and reached out to hold Sheng Jiayu in his arms again.
Outside, a young nurse wanted to come in and check on Sheng Jiayu. Seeing the scene inside through the little window on the door, the nurse wisely retreated.
Inside, Mu Ke held Sheng Jiayu for a long time before releasing her, looking into her eyes and speaking, "Go to my apartment, I’ll take Aunt back."
The slap mark on Sheng Jiayu’s face was quite obvious, and naturally, she didn’t want her mother to see it and worry. Clearly, Mu Ke had considered this in making these arrangements.
Sheng Jiayu nodded; he was always so thoughtful.
Mu Ke handed the keys to her, gave a couple of reminders, and then left.
When he got to Xu Qingru’s place, he only mentioned that Sheng Jiayu suddenly had something to attend to, so she left first, promising to return once she was free to accompany her.
Xu Qingru didn’t mind and let Mu Ke make the arrangements.
Sheng Jiayu and Mu Ke left the hospital one after the other, and the drama that had unfolded in the lobby had dissipated, leaving only a few people still gossiping.
Mu Ke took Xu Qingru back to the Xu Family’s Old Mansion. Since her foot was inconvenient, he even hired a caregiver from the hospital to help.
Watching Mu Ke bustling around, Xu Qingru felt even more comforted. The truth is, he didn’t have to do all this—Xu Qingru was already quite satisfied with him.
After Mu Ke finished arranging things for Xu Qingru, he drove back to the apartment.
By then, Sheng Jiayu was sitting on the apartment’s sofa. Although she no longer cared about the dirty water Su Wan had splashed on her in the hospital, she absolutely wouldn’t ignore it as she used to. This time, Su Wan had crossed her limit; she would settle both old and new scores.
If she didn’t give them a taste of their own medicine, they really might think she, Sheng Jiayu, was easy to bully.
In fact, initially, her identity had made them somewhat apprehensive, but after all, she loved Xin Ke too much and made herself humble. Over time, those people really believed she was humble. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
She was Sheng Jiayu, the eldest daughter of the Sheng Family; even if she wasn’t the leader of Shengshi Group, she was still part of the Sheng Family. How could she allow herself to be bullied like this?
Sheng Jiayu hired a private detective to gather some evidence from the past and had someone investigate Su Wan’s situation abroad over the years, as well as some of the dark secrets of Xin Ke’s company. Finally, she called Sheng Jianan, asking him to use his position as the president of Shengshi Group to cut off Xin Ke’s company.
Previously, Sheng Jianan might have expressed something along those lines, but it never went as far as cutting ties, leaving some room. This time, Sheng Jiayu decided not to hold back anymore. What Xin Ke had now was given by her, so she certainly had the right to take it back.
