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

After I came to my senses, I quickly walked to the bedroom door and reached out to block Shen Zhixia from entering the room.

I don't want to be blamed for things I didn't do.

Because of the car accident that happened to Meng Jinghuai last time, I don't want to have any more conflicts with Shen Zhixia, for fear that she might do something inhuman again.

But I don't know what to do now, so I can only temporarily block the door to prevent Shen Zhixia from coming in.

Outside the door, Shen Zhixia reached out to push the door but couldn't budge it, which angered her so much that she kicked it hard.

"boom."

She kicked the door open a crack, then slammed it shut again.

"Ji Nanchen, get out of my way!"

"Shen Zhixia, I don't want to take the blame anymore. If you're so capable, put the surveillance footage in front of me. If I'm wrong, I'll apologize to Xu Jin!"

I braced myself against the door, hoping to get Shen Zhixia to check the surveillance footage in exchange for it.

But she wouldn't listen at all.

After kicking the door for a while, Shen Zhixia saw that it was still not open and stood angrily at the door of the master bedroom.

"Ji Nanchen, aren't you afraid that Meng Jinghuai and the others will get hurt now?"

Upon hearing this, I froze, and all my previous energy vanished instantly.

This time, Shen Zhixia pushed open the door to the master bedroom effortlessly.

She walked into the room with a sullen face, glaring angrily at Ji Nanchen, who was standing not far away with a pale face.

"So you do have things you're afraid of."

My body stiffened slightly, my hands clenched unconsciously at my sides, my eyelids drooped, and I remained silent.

Seeing this, Shen Zhixia smiled mockingly, "Ji Nanchen, you don't actually think that if you just act pitiful and innocent in front of me, I'll believe you're really innocent, do you?"

"Go check the surveillance footage. If you do, you'll find out exactly what kind of person Xu Jin is!"

I clenched and unclenched my fists at my sides, a wave of overwhelming helplessness washing over me.

Shen Zhixia won't believe me.

If she had even a little bit of trust in me, things wouldn't have gotten this far.

Seeing that I was still unrepentant, Shen Zhixia was furious and slapped me across the face.

"Snapped!"

The slap was crisp and piercing, and my face stung, bringing me back to reality.

I gave up hope and asked Shen Zhixia to check the surveillance footage. At that moment, I was furious, and all that remained besides anger was a sense of grievance.

Why should Shen Zhixia still trust Xu Jin even though he did everything?

I did nothing wrong, yet I always get blamed!

This time, I ignored everything else and stared coldly at the woman standing in front of me.

"Shen Zhixia, I know you like Xu Jin, so I won't presume to compare myself to Xu Jin anymore. Tell me, if you were me, would you do something like what happened today?"

"What good does it do me to humiliate Xu Jin, insult Xu Jin, and then get caught by you!"

Shen Zhixia's gaze grew increasingly sinister as she stared at me. "Last time you beat Xu Jin, leaving him covered in bruises. This time you smashed him with a porcelain bowl, giving him a concussion. Now you're saying none of this has anything to do with you? Do you think you'd believe that if you were in that situation?!"

"Ji Nanchen, I'm starting to suspect that the lesson I taught you last time wasn't enough, which is why you're ignoring my warnings!"

lesson?

My heart jumped the moment I heard those two words.

Learning from the previous lesson, Shen Zhixia orchestrated a car accident that nearly cost Meng Jinghuai his life at sea.

What is he planning to do this time?

My body trembled slightly, and I immediately felt a chill spreading from my heart to my limbs, making me feel that no matter how much I struggled, I could not escape the vortex of suffocation.

I used to be very accommodating to Shen Zhixia, always caring for her and wanting her to see me. But she seemed to think that I should be that kind of person, a black-hearted, ruthless, and scheming person.

But I'm not!

I'm not like that at all, why should I take the blame for Xu Jin!

I stared at Shen Zhixia, my face deathly pale. "Shen Zhixia, I used to love you, so I went to great lengths to be good to you. But I don't love you anymore, so what reason do I have to target Xu Jin?"

"You are now the chairman of a listed group. From a business perspective, shouldn't the beneficiaries of this incident be the masterminds behind it all?"

I paused here, then slid down the wall and sat on the cold floor.

“I was blackmailed by you, so I dared not make any rash moves. I let Xu Jin move into the villa and do his laundry, hoping that things would be peaceful between him and me, so that our affairs would not involve others.”

"Tell me, would I rashly attack Xu Jin like this? Shen Zhixia, what reason do I have to get angry and attack him right now?"

Shen Zhixia seemed to realize this problem for the first time, standing there stunned, a look of confusion appearing in her dark eyes.

What reason would Ji Nanchen have to take action against Xu Jin?

Was it because he was jealous of how good she was to Xu Jin?

Suddenly, Shen Zhixia remembered what happened on my birthday.

Her gaze at me grew increasingly sharp, as if she wanted to find a flaw in my face to break me down.

But no.

My gaze remained calm as I looked at her, and when we met eyes, I even forced a stiff, mocking smile. "Shen Zhixia, it's true that I want a divorce. If you agree, we'll sign the papers immediately."

"Look, someone like me who doesn't want to stay by your side at all, what malice could I possibly have towards someone you like?"

"Shut up!"

Shen Zhixia suddenly didn't want to listen to Ji Nanchen continue. Her face darkened, and her body temperature dropped lower and lower.

But I acted as if I hadn't heard her and continued talking to myself: "Shen Zhixia, are you really that afraid that I will hurt Xu Jin? Why don't you divorce me, be with him openly, have two children, and live the life you want?"

"I told you to shut up!"

Shen Zhixia spoke again, coldly rebuking my words.

Seeing her like this, I lowered my head, stared blankly at my reflection on the ground, and didn't say anything more.

Shen Zhixia's brows furrowed more and more tightly; she felt like her head was about to explode.

She didn't understand how Ji Nanchen could have become like this.

He used to care about her a lot, so why is he now so eager to divorce her, and even... even hopes that she will marry Xu Jin?

Hasn't she been good enough to him lately?

He's showing her this nonchalant attitude now, what kind of trick is he up to now?

After regaining her senses, Shen Zhixia's gaze became even sharper as she looked at me.

"Ji Nanchen, it's true that you beat Xu Jin. I saw the injuries on his body with my own eyes. And what happened today, I heard the words you hurled at him. You're telling me all this now just so you don't want to apologize to Xu Jin, right?"
