120 Broken, All Broken (1/2)

He had not felt a hint of joy. Rather, he had wanted to escape from this place.

He closed his unfeeling eyes as he saw the strand of pearl necklace around Xia Ruoxin's neck. It had cost him three million dollars, and he had put it on her with his own hands. She had never removed it, no matter where. She wore it even when she was bathing or sleeping. It was how much she treasured it.

He reached out and put his hand on Xia Ruoxin's neck while she looked up at him, helpless and smiling in relief.

It would be good to die. There would be no pain in death for she had no idea how she should continue surviving. Xia Ruoxin was not meant to exist. She was redundant, someone who was discarded by the roadside.

She had a mother who had not been there for her… and a husband who had sent her to another man's bed himself. Her life was so pathetic that she could not even be a mother.

What was there for her to live?

She closed her eyes. Let it end now.

The moment she realized Chu Lui's real motive, her eyes widened. A pair of bruised hands grasped tightly at the other big hand which was bent on ripping off the necklace.

”Please… let me have it? Please.” Her voice was soft and hoarse. Tears from her eyes fell onto the back of his hand and caused it to become wet as well as pain.

Chu Lui suddenly felt as if the back of his hand was scalded by something. The heat lingered, and it burnt so bad. He looked into those extremely bleak eyes. A look flashed in his dark eyes as though someone was gripping onto his heart. His whole body went into a spasm in an instant, from his bones to his muscles. Everything felt wrong.

It was only for a moment. The wedding portrait hung on the wall, and Xia Yixuan remained smiling innocently.

”Brother Lui, Yixuan died a terrible death.”

”Brother Lui, you must avenge on Yixuan's behalf.”
