The CEO's wife, suffering from terminal cancer, is filled with regret!

Shen Zhixia's words were cold and harsh, leaving me speechless.

I hung my head dejectedly, my hands clenching and unclenching at my sides.

I feel like I'm trapped in a dead end, with no way to escape.

In the past, I willingly entered into this situation because I loved Shen Zhixia, but now I just want to be kinder to myself, so why can't I do that?

"Ji Nanchen, this incident is just a warning. You should know what to do from now on, right?"

"Alright, I have a meeting to attend, I'll stop here."

Shen Zhixia hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

Is this incident just a warning?

Just a warning almost cost Meng Jinghuai his life.

I know exactly what to do from now on. Never before have I known so clearly the outcome between Shen Zhixia and me.

From this day forward, I will never have any expectations of Shen Zhixia again.

After I calmed myself down, I prepared to go downstairs to make myself breakfast to fill my stomach.

I saw Xu Jin as soon as I went downstairs.

He slumped onto the sofa, raised an eyebrow, and laughed freely, "Looks like you and Xiaxia had another fight."

Xu Jin pressed the channel change button with her right hand holding the TV remote, and a light and funny laugh came from the TV.

I didn't want to talk to him at first, but when he turned to get a tissue, I saw the scratches on his neck.

It seems their battle last night was quite intense.

I took a deep breath and walked towards the kitchen as if I hadn't seen anything.

The next second, Xu Jin's sarcastic voice rang out again, "Ji Nanchen, if I were Meng Jinghuai, I would regret knowing you. After all, life is more important than brothers, don't you think?"

I paused in my tracks, and left with a cold voice.

"A person like you doesn't deserve brothers who would risk their lives for you!"

"What did you say!"

Xu Jin seemed to have been provoked, and sat up straight in annoyance, her gaze towards me changing from the meaningful look she had just given me.

I opened the refrigerator, took out a bag of toast, and prepared to make myself a sandwich.

Xu Jin got up and rushed to the kitchen, staring at me menacingly. "Ji Nanchen, let me tell you, I have plenty of brothers!"

As I slowly made the sandwich, I gave a mocking smirk.

"Are you talking about a brother who would betray you without hesitation?"

When Shen Zhixia hadn't replaced Xu Jin for almost a month, I sent someone to investigate Xu Jin.

Xu Jin, a vocational school graduate, spent his days hanging out in bars. He was uneducated and incompetent. He once had a good drinking buddy, but later that drinking buddy sold him to a rich woman.

What truly allowed him to escape the clutches of the rich woman was that he boarded Shen Zhixia's big ship.

When Xu Jin, who was standing opposite me, saw the mocking smile on my face, her pupils shrank sharply, and her tone became even more out of control when she spoke again.

"Ji Nanchen, did you have someone investigate me?"

"Isn't it normal for me to investigate you?"

I casually asked a question in return, and then took a knife and cut the sandwich I had just made in half.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jin's anger vanished instantly. He turned around, grabbed an iced drink, unscrewed it, and took a large gulp.

"It's perfectly normal for you to investigate me. After all, someone who can't even control his wife can only get a sense of security from outside."

He shook the drink in his hand, then smiled slightly, "Ji Nanchen, want to take a gamble? Let's bet on how long your marriage can last."

"This kind of betting is so boring."

I picked up the sandwich I had just made and prepared to leave the kitchen. Before I walked out, I turned to look at Xu Jin and spoke again in a seductive tone.

"Xu Jin, you have to work hard to get Shen Zhixia to divorce me as soon as possible, so that you can have a bright and promising future."

If he can't hold onto Shen Zhixia, then the outcome for him will be being taken back by that rich woman and tortured to death.

So I believe he will definitely work hard.

I genuinely meant well in reminding Xu Jin, but he simply didn't believe my good intentions. He thought I was mocking him and angrily shouted at my back.

"Ji Nanchen, I don't need you to remind me. With a body like yours, even if I give you a chance, you won't last long!"

My body stiffened, and the color in my eyes grew darker and darker. "I am already terminally ill, so you need to act quickly. Don't wait until I become Shen Zhixia's deceased husband, while you remain an unknown and powerless male mistress."

The words "male mistress" were like a sharp knife, piercing Xu Jin's heart and fueling his anger.

Finally, Xu Jin could no longer contain her anger and glared at me, then burst into a tirade of curses.

"Ji Nanchen, what are you so smug about?"

"Your life is a joke. So what if you married the woman you love most? She's always out there having affairs, cheating on you, and never even coming home."

"In relationships, only the one who is not loved is the third party. You are the third party to Shen Zhixia and her white moonlight, and you will be for life!"

I tightened my grip on the sandwich, turned my head and said coldly, "No matter what, I am Shen Zhixia's only legally recognized husband, and as long as I am not divorced from her, you will always be a mistress who cannot be seen in the light of day!"

"Also, do you really think Shen Zhixia likes you? Can you guarantee that she will never meet someone more like Pei Jin than you in her entire life?"

"You tell me that a person who is not loved is a mistress, but aren't you a mistress too?"

Xu Jin's face suddenly turned deathly pale, and she retorted in a trembling voice, "No...no, Shen Zhixia really likes me. She's not nice to me because I resemble that person!"

"Xu Jin, stop deceiving yourself."

"I advise you to seize the opportunity while you are still young, and since you are just like that person, don't let yourself end up with nothing."

After saying those sarcastic words, I turned and walked towards the second floor.

To pay back the money I owe Shen Zhixia, I took on a design job. I have to finish it in the next couple of days, otherwise it will affect my reputation.

Just as I was about to reach the corner of the stairs, Xu Jin's mocking voice suddenly came again.

“Ji Nanchen, you’re not much better than me, otherwise your mother wouldn’t have died.”

"What did you say?!"

My pupils contracted sharply, and I immediately turned to look at Xu Jin. "Do you know how my mother died?"

To be honest, I never believed that Zhang Guifen committed suicide. I want to find out the real cause of her death, but I am also afraid of getting the real result.

I clenched my other hand tightly, took a deep breath, and forced myself to calm down.

Tell me, what do you know?
