Chapter 544 - Who Went to Hell (2/2)

”When she loved you, you were hating her; and when she needed you, you didn't know any better. Yet, when you finally understood that you love her, she had already left; and now while you love her, she doesn't need you anymore.”

…

Chu Lui locked himself in his house for a very long time. He didn't care about anything and wasn't willing to attend to anything. His company had become a mess. The things that happened four years ago finally came to light, and the truth was out. Although not many people knew about it, it still spread around quite a bit. Chu Lui could have stopped it and prevented it, and yet he didn't do anything.

Chu Lui's originally not-so-bright image had further darkened a little.

Heartbreaker, vulpine man. Now, all those had become his nickname. After treating his wife so cruelly, was there still anything worth forgiving in him?

At night, Chu Lui entered another bar alone. He hadn't been there in a long time.

He sat down, and a glass of alcohol was pushed in front of him. He furrowed his brows. Not too far away sat a man who slightly tilted his head, making Chu Lui feel a sense of deja vu.

”Mo Ming?” He squinted his eyes, finally remembering the name of the man and his self-introduction. The man had said: 'I'm Mo Ming, Mo as in unpredictable and Ming as in tea.'

”Yes, that's me. Can't believe we meet again. The drink that I owed you, it's been four years already.” Mo Ming turned around to look at him. On his sharp facial features, there was a slight air of gloominess. He no longer had that intense sense of hatred but dismay; he seemed to feel quite a bit out of it. He seemed like he had just endured a heavy blow. His entire body was a little too haggard, and even his eyes that had always looked astute seemed slightly lost.

”The dim light of the night, it's the strongest alcohol here. You can give it a try.” Mo Ming said as he picked up another glass of alcohol and drank from it.

Although he said it was the strongest alcohol, he drank it down like water, not feeling anything. Chu Lui also picked up his glass and drank from it. He felt a burn in his throat. This alcohol was indeed very spicy and very strong.

”You wanted that woman to go to hell, didn't you?” Mo Ming suddenly put down the drink in his hand, the corners of his lips—which were inherently thin—lifted slightly.

”Yeah, she went down to hell already. What about you? Was it the same for your woman?” Chu Lui smiled a little painfully.

Mo Ming gently caressed the glass in his hands, his voice hardening.

”Yeah. I tortured her until her life was like a living hell. I personally pushed her into hell. But now, I realized that I was wrong. Not only was she in hell, but I was also there as well. Right now, she hates me, but I love her. Things have really flipped around between us. I was waiting for her to take revenge, but she disappeared instead. I can't find her anymore.

”What about you? You look extremely troubled. Couldn't be the same problem as me, could it?” Mo Ming kidded. He picked up the glass of alcohol and drank from it again.

”It is.” Chu Lui gulped the drink down. His unwavering and emotionless voice made Mo Ming pause for a moment. His fingers lightly ran across the edge of the glass, the corners of his lips lifting higher.
