"The incident four years ago was not my doing." "Not your doing? Back then in A City, you personally said that any company that dared to hire me would be going against Leng’s. What a coincidence that I happened to see that news report." Even after four years, Lin Yixun could still remember the feeling back then. She loved someone so much, yet she never thought that person could be so heartless. Not only did he ignore their marital bond, but he also sought to destroy her completely. "But back then, I only had someone talk to the companies in A City." "You mean to say you didn’t extend your hand to T City. Ha, that’s strange. At that time, besides you, who else hated me to the bone? Who else had the power to control everything with a single hand?" Lin Yixun suddenly looked at him, her eyes turning blood-red with hatred, "Leng Yixiu, do you know what that meant for me?" "Ha, you wouldn’t know." Lin Yixun laughed mockingly, "When my mother and I were sleeping on the streets, you were going to Paris Fashion Week with the woman you love; when my mother fainted in the underground parking lot, you were expansively expanding your IT empire; when I was being beaten in a nightclub, you, you were hosting a luxurious private party; when my mother was kicked out of the hospital for not being able to pay the medical bills, you, President Leng, were spending a million at an auction, buying a diamond necklace for Cheng Ying without even batting an eye." "Let me finish." Lin Yixun coldly interrupted him, her fingers slowly reaching towards the scar on her right cheek, and she smiled bitterly, "Do you know how I got this scar? I guess you wouldn’t know, so let me tell you. It was slashed onto me by someone. If you hadn’t issued that ’ban,’ given my abilities back then, even if I couldn’t get hired by a big company, I surely could have landed a job at a mid-sized or small enterprise. But no, life is that cruel. Who would have thought that a university graduate from A University couldn’t even get a job in a convenience store. So, I had no choice but to go to ’Nightshade.’ People are just that despicable; no matter how deeply you hurt me, I still couldn’t forget you back then. I even foolishly imagined that one day you would change your mind and take me away from that hellish place. I chose the least profitable job as a waiter. Back then, my face hadn’t been ruined yet; I was still quite pretty, and there were many clients who wanted me. But I was stubborn, wanting to keep my purity, thinking that by doing so I could go back, thinking that I would still be worthy of you. For you, I gave up the shortcut to making money and rejected one client after another. You need to know that the clients at Nightshade aren’t easy to deal with. If they got unhappy, at best they’d beat you up, and at worst... well, just like me, they’d ruin you completely." Lin Yixun took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, "Leng Yixiu, do you know what it feels like to have a knife scrape against your bone? Ha, how would you know? But I know it clearly, and I will never forget that feeling for the rest of my life." Seeing the man’s gloomy face and his silence, Lin Yixun suddenly laughed, "Do you know, even at that moment, I still wished—wished that you would appear, but you never did. From beginning to end, you never appeared. A week later, I accidentally found out that on that night, you were attending an awards ceremony with Cheng Ying. It was quite a coincidence that the awards ceremony was held at the Olympic Sports Center in T City, just across the river from Nightshade."
