Jiang Xixi never expected that Lin Chuluo, who had always been obedient and gentle to her, would actually lay hands on her!
"Xixi, face the situation," he said, bending down slightly. His huge figure loomed over Jiang Xixi, casting a shadow.
Lin Chuluo lowered his eyes, and there was an unfathomable meaning in them. "Now that we're husband and wife, you should help me."
Jiang Xixi slumped on the ground, looking at this strange man in front of her. It was as if she was seeing him for the first time.
He had become so strange.
Jiang Xixi took a deep breath. After a few seconds, she said hoarsely, "So, it was you who had always wanted to kill Ning Anmiao, right?"
Lin Chuluo smiled slightly, looking very serene. "Seeing her worse off than you, isn't that your wish?"
His tone was still so gentle, the kind that could make Jiang Xixi indulge in it.
Back then, when she met Lin Chuluo at a business banquet, she was also attracted by his gentleness. But she never expected that under such gentleness, there were countless hidden knives.
"Weren't you once in love with Ning..."
If she hadn't known that he once had feelings for Ning Anmiao, she wouldn't have targeted her so much.
Everything was just for him.
Before she could finish her sentence, Lin Chuluo sneered as if he had heard a joke. "Is love really that valuable?"
He had once been in love with Ning Anmiao, but so what?
It was just a young crush.
Even if he had been with Ning Anmiao, the Ning family, which had nothing to do with the business world, couldn't offer him any substantial help.
To put it bluntly, Ning Anmiao was even less useful than Jiang Xixi.
At least, there was Jiang Zhou in the Jiang family.
Jiang Xixi bit her lips.
She didn't know if love was valuable or not, but she had once loved Lin Chuluo so much that she was willing to give him everything.
But now she regretted it.
He was not the gentle and elegant man she thought he was. He was a venomous snake in disguise!
"Xixi, you're my wife," Lin Chuluo said. The cruelty on his face flashed by, and his eyebrows returned to their usual calm. He slowly helped her up.
Looking at Lin Chuluo who was holding her hand, Jiang Xixi felt disgusted.
"Let go of me," she said, shaking off his hand and walking away without looking back. "I'm going to divorce you. I'll go back right now and ask my brother to draft the divorce agreement!"
Divorce?
Now that Lin Chuluo's plan was almost completed, the Jiang family was the most crucial step. How could Jiang Xixi want a divorce?
Lin Chuluo curled his lips contemptuously. He stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and pressed her onto the sofa. His face got closer to hers.
At this moment, his eyes were extremely cold, full of danger and chill.
"Jiang Xixi, do you know what you're saying?" His voice was so cold that it made one's hair stand on end.
Jiang Xixi had never seen such a Lin Chuluo before. It made her feel panicked.
"Didn't you say before that you liked me very much?" Lin Chuluo's voice softened, with disappointment in his eyes.
Her throat tightened. Summoning up her courage, she said again, "I don't like you anymore. I'm going to divorce you!"
Hearing this, Lin Chuluo laughed. "So, love is really worthless."
Jiang Xixi kept silent.
In fact, she still liked him, but he was too terrifying. She couldn't figure out his thoughts at all.
She didn't know when she would unconsciously become his pawn again and be at his mercy.
Rather than that, she might as well get away earlier.
"Xixi, do you know him?" Lin Chuluo continued. He took out his phone from his pocket and opened a photo.
The man in the photo was handsome, with well - defined features. He looked a bit more mature.
For some reason, she always felt that the man in the photo looked a bit like Lin Chuluo.
"I don't know. What's wrong?" Jiang Xixi was puzzled and asked. "What does this have to do with me?"
Lin Chuluo put away his phone and said slowly, "His name is Zhou Si. He's my father's illegitimate son and my half - brother."
Jiang Xixi was stunned.
She was innocent by nature. Hearing such a cliche plot, she was a bit caught off guard, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
She blinked her eyes and didn't realize the severity of the situation yet. "So what? That's your Lin family's business!"
There was still a bit of arrogance and impatience in her tone.
"If Zhou Si returns to the Lin family, the old man will distribute the shares of the Lin Corporation to him to make up for all these years of neglect. Can you understand?"
When he said this, his voice became gentle, coaxing Jiang Xixi. "If that happens, I'll be left with nothing."
"I've worked hard for so many years, helping the old man manage the Lin Group. Now I have to give it all away. Is this really my fate?"
After he finished speaking, there was pain in his eyes, which made people feel a bit sorry for him.
"Xixi, I'm your husband. Are you just going to watch all this happen?"
After hearing all this, Jiang Xixi felt a bit uncomfortable.
Indeed, if she had worked hard to build everything and then someone came and took away the fruits of her labor, she would also be dissatisfied.
But she vaguely felt that the way Lin Chuluo was doing things was not right.
At least, he shouldn't have involved her in his plan.
"I know it was my fault before. I shouldn't have let you be a scapegoat. I thought I could protect you well, but you still ended up in jail."
"I've been regretting it these days."
As he said this, there was guilt in his voice. "If I had another chance, I would never let you take such a risk."
"I'll never do such a thing again. Can we just be together nicely?"
His voice was persuasive, and his gentle tone made her unable to resist being tempted.
Actually, she didn't want a divorce.
Jiang Xixi had been spoiled since childhood. If she divorced Lin Chuluo now, wouldn't it be a laughingstock for others?
Moreover, Lin Chuluo's attitude was so good that she was a bit shaken.
Just then, she suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous. She quickly asked, "Where's the bathroom?"
Rushing into the bathroom, she started vomiting violently while holding the toilet.
Lin Chuluo followed closely behind. He carefully brought her warm water and tissues, but there was a bit more speculation in his eyes when he looked at her.
"Xixi, are you feeling unwell?"
After vomiting, Jiang Xixi walked out of the bathroom. Seeing the warm water prepared by Lin Chuluo, she was a bit touched.
It seemed that he still cared about her.
"No, it should be because of my poor diet before."
Thinking of the life in jail before, where she couldn't eat or sleep well, she couldn't help shivering.
She never wanted to experience such a life again.
But Lin Chuluo thought differently. His speculation grew stronger. He walked over and grabbed her hand. "If so, I'll take you to the hospital for a physical examination."
