Cold fluid flowed into Lin Jingxuanâs body through his bloodstream.
His face paled. âWhat have you injected in me?â
Once Mo Jiangye was done injecting all the fluid into him, he tossed the needle aside expressionlessly.
âYou want to leave this place?â
The sneer on his face made the other man panic.
He slowly removed the gloves he was wearing and asked with a smirk, âDonât you know that youâve already been abandoned by the Lin Family?â
Lin Jingxuanâs breathing deepened. âItâs all thanks to you.â
Mo Jiangye curled his lips. âI warned you time and again to stay away from my woman, but you just had to create trouble for yourself.â
âD*mn you! Only youâd go after my ex and treat that cheap slut like a treasure when sheâs just someone I ditched!â
His countenance darkened completely in just an instant.
âAll I want to do now is get back with her.â
âHa!â The man let out a low, throaty chuckle.
âDo you know why your grandpa would rather leave all his assets to me instead of you?â
âBecause heâs a muddled old fart.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBecause youâre just a good-for-nothing, Young Master Lin. You have enjoyed living well with the Lin Family all these years for nothing.â
Lin Jingxuan hung on to his words. âWhat do you mean by that?â
âYouâre brainless, indeed. No wonder youâre only worthy of being a useless bum. I mean that youâre in no way related to the Lins.â
He lost his cool at once. âThatâs baloney! Iâm his godd*mn grandson, while youâre a b*stard who was picked up from the streets.â
Mo Jiangye was neither angered nor provoked by the other manâs curses.
He shot a side-glance at the man lying on the bed and went on speaking regardless of whether the other man believed him or not. âAll my warnings went unheeded, for you harassed her, blackmailed her with those so-called nude photos of hers, kidnapped her, and even hurt her. Lin Jingxuan, whoâs giving you the courage to behave so arrogantly time and again?â
If it werenât for that old man, your parents, my so-called father, and various other reasons, would I have tolerated you until now?
A somber laugh escaped him, filling the bare cell with his cold, creepy voice. It was as though the doors to hell had opened and the Grim Reaper had hooked its sickle around Lin Jingxuanâs neck.
Mo Jiangyeâs eerie yet frosty gaze had him breaking out in cold sweat. This was the first time he had ever felt so small around the other man.
He was unable to lift his hands as the other man slid his hand around his neck. It felt as though they were being held down.
âSay, why did you have to wake up? Wouldnât it have been wonderful if youâd stayed unconscious?â
âWhat have you done?â
Mo Jiangye regarded his nemesis with a cool stare. âYou shouldnât have laid a hand on my woman.â
SMACK! He sent his palm flying across Lin Jingxuanâs pallid face.
âYOU!â The other man was so furious that his bulging veins were starting to show. Nevertheless, amid his fury, he realized that his consciousness was slowly slipping away and he was beginning to lose awareness.
He contained his anger and fluster as he scoffed in return, âI really pity you, Mo Jiangye. How truly pathetic you are. I might as well just tell you this: Ye Erruo wonât live if you hurt me in any way.â
Mo Jiangyeâs eyes narrowed. The hesitation in him was akin to a lifeline for Lin Jingxuan, who desperately clutched on for dear life when he sensed that. âHavenât you ever wondered what prompted this sudden one-eighty change in her?â
Thatâs right. What?
âHa ha ha ha ha ha...â He cracked up.
Mo Jiangye would always lose his cool whenever Ye Erruo was involved. Plus, that question was something that had been troubling him all along.
âIt was all a lie! I was in cahoots with her! She stayed by your side for the sake of seizing the family power for me!â
As long as I can get him to believe that Ye Erruo has liked me all along, he wonât dare do a single thing to me!
âKill me and sheâll turn against you. The wonderful, sweet dream that youâve been enjoying so far will soon turn into a horrifying nightmare,â said Lin Jingxuan ever so calmly.
