The CEO's wife, suffering from terminal cancer, is filled with regret!
Chapter 40 Reasoning won't threaten you.
After a long silence, I said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not feeling well. You can find a guest room to sleep in."
"Okay, just don't regret what you said."
Shen Zhixia, standing outside the door, stared at the door with a gloomy expression before turning and leaving.
She was standing right outside the door and clearly heard Ji Nanchen's voice coming from behind it. He was standing right behind the door, yet he wouldn't open it for her.
Is he pushing her towards Xu Jin?
Shen Zhixia felt inexplicably annoyed and wanted to vent her anger, but had nowhere to do so.
After she turned and walked into a guest room not far away, the door of the guest room next door opened a crack.
After glancing around at the empty corridor, Xu Jin quickly retreated to her guest room.
Damn it, Shen Zhixia didn't choose to go find him.
But it doesn't matter. As long as she doesn't go back to the master bedroom, her relationship with Ji Nanchen won't develop any further. Now we'll see what he does tomorrow.
At this moment, I sat on the floor by the door of the master bedroom, and after a long silence, I propped myself up and walked towards the bed.
My abdomen started to ache again, and the pain made me break out in a cold sweat, but my mind was unusually active.
After Shen Zhixia leaves me, she should go find Xu Jin. Someone with his personality will definitely seize this opportunity to take advantage of the situation and then stir up trouble to sow discord between me and Shen Zhixia.
After tonight, she'll probably be even more annoyed with me.
That's good, this way we can get a divorce soon.
My abdomen started to hurt more and more, and then I lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, it was already the next morning.
As soon as I picked up my phone, I saw the day's trending news—
[Shocking! A car accident occurred on West Street early this morning; the car's brakes apparently failed for no apparent reason, and the driver narrowly escaped death at sea!]
I recognize the license plate number of that car; it belongs to Meng Jinghuai.
My eyes, which had been a little dazed, widened instantly, and I immediately clicked on the news link to see the details.
The press release was a video showing a black car crashed into a safety fence, with the sea just ten meters away.
If Meng Jinghuai had turned the steering wheel even slightly off course, he might have plunged straight into the sea.
When a person drives a car into the sea, the chances of survival are almost nil.
When I thought of this, a cold sweat broke out on my back.
My hand tightened around my phone, and I immediately called Meng Jinghuai.
The call was quickly answered, and Meng Jinghuai's familiar voice came through the phone, full of concern, "Nanchen, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Before he could finish speaking, I asked him instead of answering, "Are you alright?"
Meng Jinghuai on the other end of the phone stiffened slightly, clearly not expecting me to know what had happened to him that morning.
He glanced at the bandaged wound on his arm and replied gently, "It's nothing, just the car hitting the guardrail, a minor issue."
"How could your car's brakes suddenly fail? I remember you just took your car in for maintenance two months ago and they said there was nothing wrong with it."
No sooner had I finished speaking than, in a flash, I suddenly remembered what had happened last night.
Shen Zhixia stood outside the door last night, her voice was cold.
She said, "Okay, just don't regret what you said."
And then today, Meng Jinghuai got into trouble.
I don't want to think of her as so bad, but besides her, no one else would dare to harm Meng Jinghuai.
The next second, Meng Jinghuai's gentle and refined voice came from the phone, interrupting my thoughts, "I don't know either, maybe some part in the car is worn out."
"Nan Chen, how have you been feeling lately?"
I glanced at the medicine on the bedside table. "I'm fine. I haven't gotten angry. My emotions have remained stable, and I've been taking my medicine on time."
"Okay, then remember to come to the hospital for a follow-up IV infusion the day after tomorrow."
After giving me a gentle reminder, Meng Jinghuai heard a colleague calling him, so he hurriedly said goodbye and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, I looked up at the bright sunshine outside the window, and when I looked down, I saw the still-lit phone screen.
My phone wallpaper is a photo of Shen Zhixia, a snapshot I took of her smiling before we got married.
She was innocent and radiant back then, a stark contrast to how she is now.
Could it really be that she did Meng Jinghuai's things?
After I came to my senses, I immediately got up, rushed out of my room, and headed straight for Xu Jin's room.
When I learned that Xu Jin was going to move in, I prepared the guest room furthest from the master bedroom for him, just in case I heard them whispering to each other in the middle of the night.
"Knock knock knock."
I knocked loudly, my face showing barely concealed annoyance. "Shen Zhixia, I have something to ask you."
No one answered me.
After waiting outside the door for a moment, I raised my hand and knocked on the door again, this time raising my voice unconsciously.
"Shen Zhixia, open the door!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Xu Jin's indifferent voice came from downstairs, "Stop shouting, Xiaxia has gone to the company."
I was stunned for a moment, then immediately took out my phone and called Shen Zhixia.
The phone rang briefly before being answered.
"what happened?"
Shen Zhixia's indifferent voice came from the phone, making me unconsciously tighten my grip on the phone.
I lowered my eyelids, pursed my lips, and asked in a deep voice, "Did you tamper with Meng Jinghuai's brakes?"
My heart skipped a beat when I asked that question.
Frankly, I don't want a positive answer. I don't want Shen Zhixia to become someone who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
But I know I'm likely to be disappointed.
On the other end of the phone, Shen Zhixia laughed sarcastically and said coldly, "You're really smart; you guessed it right away."
"Shen Zhixia! Are you crazy! Meng Jinghuai did nothing wrong, why are you doing this to him!"
"You damaged his brakes. What if... what if his car hadn't hit the guardrail? He might have died!"
I angrily questioned Shen Zhixia, not understanding why someone who used to be so innocent and kind would become like this.
Or perhaps, I never truly understood her.
Soon, Shen Zhixia's cold words came through the phone again.
She said, "Ji Nanchen, I told you last night, just don't regret what you've done."
My pupils contracted sharply, and my hand holding the phone began to tremble with anger. "Just... just because I didn't open the door for you last night, you tampered with Meng Jinghuai's car?"
Yes!
Shen Zhixia answered casually, as if Meng Jinghuai's life was nothing important to her.
I leaned weakly against the wall next to the guest room door, the anger I had just felt had completely drained my strength.
“Shen Zhixia, our affairs have nothing to do with him. You shouldn’t joke about his life.”
"Ji Nanchen, what if I can't threaten you by being reasonable?"
