Chapter 39: Moral Coercion

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Jian Rushi gave a reluctant smile and interrupted Mr. Xiang who was immersed in excitement, “Time and tide wait for no one. I’m married.”

“I’m Mr. Xiang, the king of nobility. I will never be defeated by anyone in this secular world!” he said.

Jian Rushi was speechless.

This man was so odd in logic. Jian Rushi took Tang Ge’s hand and said to Mr. Xiang, “Excuse me, but we’ll have to go now. We have other fish to fry.” Then they quickly paid the bill and left.

They two went shopping in a mall. But they hadn’t expected that they would see Mr. Xiang again in the car park.

Mr. Xiang and Jian Rushi’s one-time best friend, that angelic bitch, were making a scene.

“We’ve been together for so many years. How could you abandon me? In order to get you a job as a waiter, I slept with so many men… But what have you done? You came to her as soon as you heard about her,” she said sadly, as if what he had done completely broke her heart.

Mr. Xiang tossed his hair and said, “I thought you knew me well. I try to repair my relationship with Jian Rushi, because I want to make you live a better life.”

That woman was surprised.

Mr. Xiang continued, his eyes shining with desire, “If I can be together with her, I will be rich at once. Anyway, one should take every opportunity to climb into respectable society. But you can rest assured that I won’t abandon you even if I become her boyfriend.”

“Her family is broke, and she has no money at all.” The woman was a little anxious.

“No, she is rich. I saw her at the luxurious hotel…” Mr. Xiang said greedily.

Tang Ge didn’t want to look on anymore. She got into the car and mumbled, “He really makes me feel sick.”

Jian Rushi sat quietly in the car, thinking, ‘I didn’t expect to be a target for social climbers. ‘

Mr. Xiang tried to fool with his girlfriend, but she refused to believe him. Finally, he ran out of patience. He shook her hands off and went away.

When a love rat failed to get round his woman, he usually became angry from embarrassment.

She crouched on the ground crying. She felt bad because her boyfriend abandoned her. What was more, she lost to Jian Rushi. But she was not reconciled to her defeat. Now she only wanted to escape from reality.

When she was crying sadly, someone suddenly handed her a tissue. She looked up to see a beautiful girl who smiled at her with a mild countenance. “Don’t cry.”

She opened her mouth, her face puzzled. After thinking for a moment, she recognized the girl, “You are Jian Rushi’s college classmate?”

“I’m Lin Xue. Do you want revenge upon her? I can help you.”

“Yes!” the woman answered without hesitation. She hated Jian Rushi to the core. It was all because of Jian Rushi that she lost her job and boyfriend.

They two quickly became partners and cooked up a plot together.

Thanks to the last gathering, Lin Xue easily got Jian Rushi’s cell phone number from her monitor. Then she gave it to Mr. Xiang’s girlfriend.

The woman made up her mind to phone Jian Rushi. “You remember me, right? Could I make an appointment with you? I want to talk with you about Mr. Xiang. He thinks you are rich and wants to repair his relationship with you. So he has decided to break up with me. But I don’t want to break up.”

Jian Rushi had no intention of meeting her. “Er… It’s a personal matter between you two. It has nothing to do with me. I don’t want to get involved in it. I hope you two will be together until old age. ”

The woman let out a strangled cry. “I know he’s a bad egg and I have done wrong. A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor told me that I was suffering from depression. Rushi, we used to be best friends. Please save me for old time’s sake. I really need to talk to you.”

She knocked Jian Rushi off-balance with her words full of moral coercion.

Jian Rushi forgot how the conversation was going on. In short, that angelic bitch refused to hang up and kept harping on about their past. Finally, for some reason, Jian Rushi agreed.

Maybe it was because that woman mentioned a story that happened between them in high school. At that time, they two were boarders. Once Jian Rushi got a pain in her belly when she was having her period. That woman ran downstairs and bought a cup of steaming milk tea for Jian Rushi. On the way back, she had a fall.

Jian Rushi put her head in her hands and thought, ‘This time I will make it clear to her that I have nothing to do with Mr. Xiang. By then, I can make a clean break with the past, and she will be nothing to me.’
