Chapter 17

Jiang Yu’s expression darkened ominously.

Anger churned in his deep eyes, swirling like a storm.

Jin Xue felt her neck constrict as his grip tightened.

“Mrs. Jiang, I know you’re an intelligent woman. I believe you can handle them. Don’t attempt to provoke me. Rest assured, I won’t fall in love with you either. I simply require a wife who knows her place.”

Jin Xue’s face flushed with anger as she glared at Jiang Yu.

Gasping for breath, she struggled to pry his hand away.

No matter how hard Jin Xue fought, Jiang Yu’s strong grip on her neck persisted.

Only when Jin Xue was on the verge of suffocation did Jiang Yu finally release his hold.

In an instant, Jin Xue collapsed to the ground, panting heavily and coughing dryly.

“Get lost!”

Jiang Yu uttered a single word, yet the coldness in his eyes could have killed Jin Xue.

Jin Xue glared resentfully at Jiang Yu, rose to her feet, and stormed out of the study.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

She would definitely pursue a divorce. She could no longer endure the countless grievances.

…

Renxin Hospital, Thoracic Surgery Department.

At two in the morning, Jin Xue made her way to the outpatient building to purchase a self-service coffee.

Due to the incident of being secretly photographed the previous night, Jin Xue was extra cautious as she walked along.

Upon reaching the passageway that connected the inpatient and outpatient buildings, Jin Xue immediately sensed something amiss.

Without alerting anyone, Jin Xue discreetly took out her phone and activated the camera function, capturing random shots.

After adjusting a few angles, Jin Xue noticed a red dot.

It must have originated from the opposite testing building, indicating that someone had been filming or taking photos during the night.

Who was secretly photographing her once again?

Maintaining a façade of nonchalance, Jin Xue continued toward the testing building.

She had to discover the identity of the person capturing those secret images.

Unexpectedly, before she could react, Jin Xue was grabbed by a powerful force and dragged into a secluded corner by the outer wall of the outpatient building.

Before she could utter a word, a large hand tightly covered her mouth.

Pressed against the wall, she struggled to break free.

“Jin Xue, do you think you can escape my reach by ignoring my calls and blocking me? Do you believe I won’t kill you?”

“…”

“I treated you like a princess, sacrificing so much, yet you refused to let me touch you. You dumped me without a word and married Jiang Yu. You even tarnished my reputation. You deserve the most agonizing death!”

“…”

“My life is miserable. I’ll destroy you, and we’ll go to hell together.”

“…”

It was Gu Zhou, that despicable man. Jin Xue glared at him with fury in her eyes.

Jin Xue fought with all her might, kicking Gu Zhou relentlessly.

His forehead veins bulged as he forcefully subdued her, enduring the pain from her kicks, determined not to release his grip.

Disgusted, Gu Zhou contemplated kissing Jin Xue. But she fiercely resisted, using her head to strike him without hesitation.

Suddenly, two blinding headlights approached rapidly.

The intense lights grew closer and closer.

In a moment of panic, Gu Zhou grew fearful and fled.

Just as the car was about to collide with Jin Xue, it abruptly halted.

In shock, Jin Xue widened her eyes, recognizing Jiang Yu’s Rolls-Royce.

Jiang Yu stepped out of the vehicle and seized Jin Xue by the neck, gripping her tightly.

Through clenched teeth, his voice seethed with coldness. “If I catch you entangled with that man again, I will break your neck.”

Jin Xue glared at Jiang Yu with venomous hatred in her eyes and coldly threatened, “If you ever strangle me again, I will drag you to your death alongside me!”

“You might lack capabilities, but you certainly possess a fiery temper!”

Jiang Yu sneered.

With a swift motion, Jiang Yu released his hold on Jin Xue.

Jin Xue, freed from his grasp, yearned to slap him.

Yet, in a flash, Jiang Yu’s lightning-fast reflexes caught hold of Jin Xue’s wrist.
