Chapter 387 : Green Plum Meets Wine 38 (1/2)

By the time she found Sheng Yang, he was already dead. He had committed suicide.

He left a letter written in his blood expressing his remorse towards Sheng Xia’s parents.

‘They’re already dead, so what’s the point of regret?’

The human heart was always so selfish and greedy.

Ever since Yu Jiu separated from Shi Sheng that day, he hadn’t come back. No calls, no messages, nothing.

Every day, Shi Sheng continued to methodically deal with Yang Huaili, who was still in her company, as if she was completely unconcerned about Yu Jiu.

The next time she saw Shen Jiayin was at a stone-gambling auction. Shi Sheng had accompanied Yao Qin there.

A man stood beside a haggard-looking Shen Jiayin. His arm was intimately locked with hers as he brought her around the place. Shen Jiayin would occasionally speak, and the man would select a few pieces of unopened ore.

Rumour had it that Shen Jiayin’s company had been bought over, and it was probably by this man.

No matter how invincible Shen Jiayin was in the original plot, without her ML to protect her, she’d only be a bird that had its wings broken to trap it.

“Sheng Xia, help me pick one.” Yao Qin shook Shi Sheng’s hand.

“En? What do you like?” Shi Sheng turned to smile and ask the person beside her.

Yao Qin couldn’t help but mock her, “CEO Sheng, you think this is a restaurant where we can pick whatever we want?”

“Of course. I can give you anything you want.”

Yao Qin, “…” ‘Einstein is as overbearing as always… *plops to knees*’

“CEO Sheng.”

The man who was together with Shen Jiayin had shown up in front of Shi Sheng at some point.

Shen Jiayin’s arm was still linked with the man’s, as she stared at Shi Sheng with eyes filled with hatred.

‘It’s all because of this woman that I ended up like this!’

Shi Sheng scrutinized the man from head to toe. “Who’re you? Xiao Yao Qin, you know this guy?”

Yao Qin shook her head innocently.

“Since neither of us know you, don’t just randomly call out to people. I don’t talk to strangers.”

“CEO Sheng is so busy, it’s natural that you wouldn’t recognise me. I’m—”

“No need to introduce yourself. I don’t want to know. I don’t want to make a bet with you either. Not interested. Alright. You may go now. Goodbye.”

Shi Sheng’s words caused the man’s face to turn livid as he was at a loss for words.

“Forget it, we’ll leave.” Shi Sheng turned and walked off to the side. ‘I(bbb) don’t want to start a massacre here.’

The man frostily watched Shi Sheng depart before swivelling his head around. “Shen Jiayin, this is what you meant by ‘a brainless bimbo’?”

Shen Jiayin paled and retreated. But the man caught her by the waist and gave it a pinch, causing her to tremble. The man laughed as he insulted her, “Well, at least your body’s good.”

He dragged her to the washroom area.

Since the washrooms were all separate stalls, the man got straight to business after pushing Shen Jiayin inside one.

By the time the man was finished venting, Shen Jiayin’s clothes were in quite the state—white splotches could be seen coating it.

The man made no attempt to help her cover up as he roughly dragged her out of the washroom. They just so happened to bump into Yin Mo at the entrance.

Seeing Shen Jiayin’s pathetic state, Yin Mo frowned.

“Yin Mo, save me!” Shen Jiayin suddenly lunged towards Yin Mo. ‘Only this man can save me now!’

“Yin Mo, you’d best not stick your nose into my affairs.” The man pulled Shen Jiayin back and threatened. “Shen Jiayin, do you want to die? Still dare to try and run?!”

“Yin Mo, please save me!” Shen Jiayin looked at him pleadingly. The man tightened his grip on Shen Jiayin.

Yin Mo merely swept them an apathetic look before circling around them and leaving the washroom area.

Shen Jiayin’s face immediately paled. He was her only hope, yet he ignored her like that…

The man laughed viciously. “Shen Jiayin, got bold eh? See how I deal with you tonight!”

……

Shi Sheng cheated and picked an unopened Violet for Yao Qin to open.

“Sheng Xia, long time no see.” Yin Mo walked over from the crowd. “Seems like you’re alone?”

Shi Sheng shot him an aloof side-glance. “So what if I am? Is there a rule saying I can’t come alone?”

“You’re as glib as ever.”
