?Chapter 558: Chapter 559: Strangers (8) _1 Chapter 558: Chapter 559: Strangers (8) _1 The wine glass sprung from Mr. Lin’s hand, hitting the hanging crystal chandelier above, making it sway. The glass shattered two light bulbs, making two crisp noises, and fragments of glass showered down.
The people at the table were startled, scattering in all directions, accompanied by women’s screams.
Liang Chen just stood there unmoving, ignoring the glass shards hitting his shoulders, an aura of fury radiating from his body.
The atmosphere in the private room had become somewhat stifled.
Although Liang Chen was of noble birth and had a cold demeanor, he had never lost his temper in a business setting before.
His face looked somber and terrifying, scaring others off from daring to step forward and calm him. They could only hold their breaths and watch from the sidelines.
The large chandelier was still swinging above, casting constantly changing shadows on Liang Chen’s face.
Liang Chen coldly glanced at Mr. Lin who was nursing his hand, his face covered in alcohol, and looking utterly embarrassed. Then he harshly grabbed his coat from the back of his chair, and walked straight out of the room without a word of goodbye, without even glancing at anyone else.
…
Jing Haohao walked down the long corridor, heading into the restroom at the end.
She didn’t actually need to go to the toilet, so she just stood in front of the washbasin, washing her hands, pulled out a piece of paper, and leisurely dried her hands.
She felt stifled at such dinner gatherings, and it wasn’t because of Mr. Lin, but because of Liang Chen.
She had always believed that after parting with Liang Chen, they had once again become people from two different worlds, just like before.
She was the ordinary Jing Haohao, and he was the noble “Young Emperor” from Jiangshan City, and there would never be any intersection between them again.
But within just a short week, she had run into him three times already.
She originally married him because of a child. However, she didn’t get pregnant, and his brother made it clear that if she didn’t leave, his family would think she had ulterior motives for being close to him.
What’s more, she was forced into it by him and deep down wanted to leave. Importantly, she could even get those discs he used to threaten her, which was an unbelievable good thing for her.
It seemed that she didn’t need to make a choice at all, she just needed to do what she hoped for.
However, even though it was what she wished for, after she did it, even if her life in the UK was bitter and exhausting, she never complained. However, in the quiet of the night, she didn’t know why, she felt heavy and messy in her heart, like a bundle of tangled hemp, without any clue.
When she stayed by Liang Chen’s side, she always felt unhappy every day. But having left him, she didn’t feel any happier either.
She really didn’t know what had happened to her, why she had become like this. It was him who had defiled her and taken her freedom, and used their video to corner her, forcing her to return to his side… He was clearly a predator, she should hate him… But, she found that when she really, really left him, she couldn’t find a trace of hatred in her heart.
Especially when he said, “Haohao, I beg you, don’t leave, wait for me…”
Thinking about this, Jing Haohao’s heartbeat sped up again, thumping in her chest. She forcefully shook her head, trying to shake off these thoughts that had been entangling her for a long time.
