Li Yanxiu looked at Jiang Ning and said calmly, "Howard just committed suicide in the detention center."

Jiang Ning's face didn't show any surprise, but she calmly asked him, "So?"

All the dissatisfaction and hatred came to an end the moment Howard passed away.

But what she wanted more was to win back Li Yanxiu's heart!

"If he were still alive, I would have made him face the most severe trial. Now that he's gone, it's pointless to talk about any punishment. But you were indeed hurt because of me, so I should bear some responsibility."

The woman walked up to him and smiled sadly, "If you say that, why not kill me? At least I won't have nightmares about this and hate myself. And it will also let you always remember how you treated the woman you once loved after she got into trouble because of you."

"Jiang Ning."

Li Yanxiu called her name with a heavy articulation, his voice icy and piercing. "Ever since you returned to Beijing, you committed suicide in the middle of the night, and were kidnapped. I rushed to the scene to meet your needs. I've done my best for you, but now I truly don't love you anymore. This is the only way I can discuss responsibility with you."

Jiang Ning said nothing.

Faced with such a pale and powerless explanation, my expectations were completely dashed.

This is probably the difference between love and not love. When I was in love with Li Yanxiu, he was loyal, meticulous and comprehensive. When he didn't love me, he thought of dividing the interests.

The twitching in her heart brought waves of pain. Jiang Ning closed her eyes in despair, tears streaming down her face, and she couldn't help crying.

The woman looked at him in disbelief, even laughing out of anger, "Are you planning to use this little favor to settle all ties with me?"

She looked so pitiful and weak, and was so embarrassed. Her question aroused Li Yanxiu's guilt. Although he thought so in his heart, Li Yanxiu's mind was still clear. Wasn't his choice of compensation with benefits a rational consideration?

Since you have chosen Lin Qian, you must forget the past and let it be the past, so as to avoid misunderstandings and add to everyone's troubles.

He has already chosen Lin Qian. Given his personality and character, it is impossible for him to remain entangled with her.

His voice was cold, and his eyes showed no warmth. "Otherwise, what do you want?"

"I don't want your money!"

Jiang Ning yelled at him hysterically, tears falling, "You owe me a favor. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten into trouble that night."

Li Yanxiu said mercilessly, "Otherwise, I can't give you anything."

Jiang Ning was stunned by his words, her hands on the table, her body swaying, almost falling, her chest heaving violently.

Jiang Ning leaned over the table, her head hanging, her shoulders slightly hunched as she sobbed, then pursed her lips and said, "Go away."

"I don't need your compensation."

The woman's reaction to him really made Li Yanxiu at a loss as to how to deal with it for a moment.

He threw down a sentence, "You can take your time to think about it. When you have made up your mind, you can come to me."

"I do not want anything."

this moment.

Jiang Ning felt as desperate as if she had been sentenced to death.

Her eyes were red, and she looked so pitiful that she cried aggrievedly, "I hid it from you at first because I didn't want you to look down on me. I'm telling you now because I know I care about you too much. I was afraid you wouldn't want me anymore. Now it seems you really don't want me anymore."

"If you don't want me anymore, what's the point of me having these things?"

She told him everything about her experiences abroad in recent years.

Li Yanxiu frowned. He had probably guessed the reason why she returned to China, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Ever since she broke up with Li Yanxiu, her life seemed to have restarted.

She divorced before returning to China. Her husband had an affair right after they got married and transferred their property. She didn't get any of the property in the divorce.

Her mother also developed mental problems due to being too angry and is now in a nursing home.

"After the incident, I disappeared for no reason and faced all the pressure on my own. I really regret choosing to numb myself in that way when I was wronged, helpless, and insecure. Afterwards, I deeply regretted why I didn't explain to you at the time. I blindly believed that you would think I was dirty and unworthy of you. I regretted making the decision to leave you even more."

Jiang Ning's expression became more painful as she finished her words. "But, you were hesitant at that time, which made me think that you didn't want to marry me at all, so I chose Jones."

Li Yanxiu's mind flashed to the engagement necklace hidden in his desk drawer. He said in a cold tone, "People have to pay for their mistakes. It's such a simple matter for adults, so I don't need to say anything more."

The woman looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Ah Xiu, if I told you that I regretted not telling you right away, and that I didn't force you to marry me, would you break up with Lin Qian and be with me?"

The latter met her gaze and uttered two words without hesitation, "Too late."
