Chapter 43: Break Off
Proofread by Peter Gong
Li Fengjue, this asshole, it turns out that he has got this idea from the beginning!
Thinking of this, Yuexi has a stomachache.
Since her father died, she has been eating irregularly. These days she gets even more upset and irritable. In addition to today’s overeating, it is not strange that her stomach hurts again.
She looks pale, finds her colleagues, and tells them the afternoon schedule, then she leaves for the Hilton Building.
She takes a taxi to the hospital. When she is about to go in, she hears the sound of an ambulance behind her.
Yuexi looks back subconsciously. A tall man jumps from the car.
Li Fengye? Why is he here?
At the same time, a patient is pushed down from the ambulance. That patient looks so terrible, with blood on her face and her clothes disheveled.
Yuexi knows this patient. It is Lin Chuchu!
How can these two people appear together?
She doesn’t have time to react at all, and couldn’t help but run over. When she glances at Lin Chuchu’s face close, her heart twitches.
Obviously, she is beaten by someone, and it looks like they have a deep hatred.
Her face is black and blue, full of bruises. Her hair is messy, and there are black blood stains on it. The clothes on her body are ragged, and the bright red blood has dried up on her bare skin.
Her original charming face is completely unrecognizable at this moment, and her body is trembling violently. Her eyes are closed, but the eyelashes are trembling gently, as if she is having a nightmare.
Yuexi feels complex in her heart, and her whole body is like falling into an ice cellar, feeling so cold.
Li Fengye glances at Yuexi and frowns, “Why are you here?”
“Let me tell you later. Now hurry and see how she is.” Yuexi is anxious and turns around to say to the doctor, “Doctor, please save her quickly!”
Lin Chuchu is pushed into the operating room. Yuexi is still very anxious. Her face is cold and keeps sweating, and she wanders back and forth.
She completely forgets that there is another person around her.
Li Fengye’s long eyes narrow into a slit, his sight following her closely, and he says, “Do you know her?”
His voice sounds calm. Yuexi turns her head to look at him, and her throat seems to be stuffed with cotton. She asks heavily, “Lin Chuchu … Is she beaten by Xu Tianyun?”
When she says this, she couldn’t bear the sour mood in her heart. Her voice sounds like crying, and her eyes redden. The guilty feeling almost breaks her down.
“Yes.” He simply utters a syllable.
Yuexi’s heart collapses in an instant, and tears are like beads on a broken thread, slowly flowing down her cheeks.
It is all my fault! If it were not for me, Lin Chuchu would not have been beaten like this!
Li Fengye looks dumbfounded, and his brows furrow slightly.
Yuexi slumps weakly in the chair, with her pupils staring indifferently at the front.
She says slowly, “If that day … I didn’t leave early that day, Lin Chuchu might not dance with Xu Tianyun, nor would that thing happen. Then maybe she could be still dreaming in the company …”
“This has nothing to do with you.” Li Fengye’s voice is still calm and plain, not like a consoling tone.
Yuexi smiles bitterly in her heart. She is the only person who knows the initiator of all this.
Li Fengye’s grim eyes darken, and he watches Yuexi without speaking. His thin lips slightly part, and says, “Actually, it is she who actively seduced Xu Tianyun. Now she has been reduced to such a bad condition, who else can she blame other than herself? Even if you are the cause of that thing, but how their relation goes and ends has nothing to do with you.”
Yuexi violently looks up at him, with a big surprise in her eyes.
Is Li Fengye comforting her by saying these things now?
They are not friends, and the first time they met was unhappy. Their relationship is not good enough to enable them to chat peacefully.
Looking at her clear and bright eyes, Li Fengye avoids her sight.
Yuexi feels for the first time that the man in front of her might be different from what he looks like on the surface.
“Thank you for being so kind and sending her to the hospital.”
Li Fengye says coldly, “I think you misunderstood. An insignificant person like her is useless to me. I just don’t want Xu Tianyun to be a murderer. In that case, my cooperation with he would be ruined.”
Yuexi laughs at herself. Looking at his determined and cold profile, she says, “Yeah, that’s right. How could Master Li care about an ordinary person’s life.”
She doesn’t know if it is her illusion. After saying this, she feels that the air around her instantly condenses, giving off coldness.
The atmosphere between them becomes subtle.
“Brother, why are you here?” A deep and familiar voice comes from behind.
Yuexi looks back in surprise, seeing that Li Fengjue walks to her in a lively manner.
“Well.” It is still a simple syllable.
Li Fengjue comes to Yuexi, standing beside her, and asks, “what are you talking about so happily?”
There is an inconspicuous smile on his face, and he seems to be in a good mood.
Yuexi is cursing Li Fengjue in her heart. Is he blind? Do they look happy now?
Slowly standing up from the chair, Yuexi does not want to stand together with him, but her wrist is clenched.
Li Fengjue leans over and whispers in her ear, “My wife, why are you leaving as soon as I come?”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Yuexi grits her teeth, “Your brother is going to catch me back home, would I still be here waiting for him?”
He frowns slightly, and says in a cold voice, “You say it again?”
Yuexi looks up at his brother. To tell the truth, the Li family’s genes are really good. They really look like each other, both having such an exquisite and handsome face, and a noble elegant manner.
However, Li Fengye could be counted as Li Fengjue’s rival, and the relationship between them is not as bad as expected.
She says indifferently, “I said, your brother will catch me and send me to Fengdu!”
She obviously feels the strength in her hand increasing, and Li Fengjue’s eyes are full of anger now. He says coldly, “How do you think I found you that day? If it were not my brother who told me your place, you would have died in that mountain.”
Yuexi’s heart shudders, and she raises her eyes, giving Li Fengye a surprised look.
He stands there without a word.
Feeling guilty, she puckers up her lips, and quickly finds another reason and says, “Maybe your brother … dare not resist your parents’ orders, and must take me back.”
Li Fengjue says seriously, “I have made it clear to them, as long as they hurt you again, I will break off with them.”
Yuexi stares at him incredulously. She gasps, and stutters, “You mean, you want to break relations with Li family for me?”
He purses the corners of his mouth and answers seriously, “You are my wife after all.”
