Chapter 39 - Moral Coercion (1/2)

Jian Rushi gave a reluctant smile and interrupted Mr. Xiang who was immersed in excitement, “Time and tide wait for no one. I’m married.”

“I’m Mr. Xiang, the king of nobility. I will never be defeated by anyone in this secular world!” he said.

Jian Rushi was speechless.

This man was so odd in logic. Jian Rushi took Tang Ge’s hand and said to Mr. Xiang, “Excuse me, but we’ll have to go now. We have other fish to fry.” Then they quickly paid the bill and left.

They two went shopping in a mall. But they hadn’t expected that they would see Mr. Xiang again in the car park.

Mr. Xiang and Jian Rushi’s one-time best friend, that angelic bitch, were making a scene.

“We’ve been together for so many years. How could you abandon me? In order to get you a job as a waiter, I slept with so many men… But what have you done? You came to her as soon as you heard about her,” she said sadly, as if what he had done completely broke her heart.

Mr. Xiang tossed his hair and said, “I thought you knew me well. I try to repair my relationship with Jian Rushi, because I want to make you live a better life.”

That woman was surprised.

Mr. Xiang continued, his eyes shining with desire, “If I can be together with her, I will be rich at once. Anyway, one should take every opportunity to climb into respectable society. But you can rest assured that I won’t abandon you even if I become her boyfriend.”

“Her family is broke, and she has no money at all.” The woman was a little anxious.

“No, she is rich. I saw her at the luxurious hotel…” Mr. Xiang said greedily.

Tang Ge didn’t want to look on anymore. She got into the car and mumbled, “He really makes me feel sick.”

Jian Rushi sat quietly in the car, thinking, ‘I didn’t expect to be a target for social climbers. ‘

Mr. Xiang tried to fool with his girlfriend, but she refused to believe him. Finally, he ran out of patience. He shook her hands off and went away.
