She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1662: Chapter 1739: Nothing but Interests

Vaguely, she sensed that something was wrong. "You’re my husband; your business is my business. On what grounds do you say I can’t interfere?"

Shen Ming had already changed his clothes. Carrying his things, he gave her a sinister smile that scared Ji Shiyu into instinctively retreating a step, only stopping when her body bumped into the mirror.

"I advise you to behave yourself and go back to the Northwest. Don’t be an eyesore here." If he weren’t afraid of people pointing at his spine and talking, Shen Ming would’ve loved to dump this woman on the spot.

"Shen Ming, are you crazy? You dare treat me like this? Believe it or not, my dad will throw you out?" Ji Shiyu arrogantly planted her hands on her hips and shouted aggressively, "Don’t forget, it’s because of our Ji Family that you have what you do now!"

"Just you? You should go take a look in the mirror." Shen Ming grabbed his things and walked out without looking back.

Ji Shiyu’s reaction wasn’t bad; she grabbed Shen Ming’s arm in one swift move and asked expectantly, "You don’t like me anymore? Didn’t you say you’d love me and cherish me for a lifetime?"

"You don’t even see what about you is worth anyone loving." All he felt toward her was disgust, nothing but revulsion.

Shen Ming’s words were like gleaming knives, every syllable stabbing into Ji Shiyu’s heart, leaving her mind blank for a long moment before she could react.

"Why did you change? I’ve already changed so much for you, and we haven’t even been married a full year." The neighbor elder sister-in-law had said that when enough time passes, men will start craving new things, and marital feelings will fall apart.

But their time together was clearly still so short.

"Changed?" Shen Ming let out a playful smile. "You? You think you’re qualified to use the word ’change’ with me?"

"You... you..." The coldness in his words made her shiver.

"I never loved you in the first place." Shen Ming’s thin lips hooked into a cutting arc as he coldly flung off Ji Shiyu’s hand and left without looking back.

Ji Shiyu hadn’t expected him to just walk out like that. It took her a long while to react, and then she broke into a hysterical roar, no different from some shrew from the countryside. In fact, Shen Ming had never liked her. When the Shen Family hadn’t collapsed yet, he wouldn’t even spare a glance for this willful, brainless Miss.

She really thought she was some rich young lady; in reality she was just an uncultured, uneducated country bumpkin.

After Shen Ming left, Ji Shiyu collapsed on the floor, completely falling apart. She couldn’t believe this was real. Her hair was in disarray, and the room was a wreck from being smashed up. She didn’t know how long she sat there until the door was pushed open from the outside.

When Shen Ming left, he didn’t even bother to close the door.

"Shiyu?" Qin Xue walked in and carefully called out when she saw Ji Shiyu sitting on the floor, clearly thinking that the Ji Family’s bankruptcy had dealt her a heavy blow.

She squatted in front of Ji Shiyu and said sympathetically, "Don’t be sad. Everything will get better."

"No, it won’t. It won’t get better." Ji Shiyu, eyes swollen and red, looked at her good friend and said in utter heartbreak, "He’s gone. He never liked me at all."

"You and Shen Ming were never a good match to begin with." Qin Xue thought of herself and Xu Qigang. They were clearly such a perfect pair; in this world, no one could be more suitable for Xu Qigang than she was.

She could stand with him in the rescue field, helping each other, and she could also use her family’s power to support him. What does Sheng Ning have? Other than being able to dance and flaunt her charms, what else can she do?

All she can do is get herself kidnapped, be a burden, and drag Xu Qigang down. Without her, Xu Qigang would be better off, and his rank would be higher.
