Chapter 1933 - Chu Jingnan, This Is Your Retribution

This discovery made her feel ill all over.

Without this support, without this final bit of reliance, she felt like she had been abandoned by the entire world. Fear and unease flooded over her, making it completely unbearable.

"I am sorry, the number that you just dialed is currently unavailable!"

"Hello, the number that you just dialed cannot be reached at the moment. Please try again later!"

Without any regard for her own pride, Xia Ruya kept trying to contact Grandpa. She hoped that he could forgive her on account of their grandfather-granddaughter relationship and the fact that she was the Li Family’s only descendant.

But Grandpa seemed to have steeled his heart against her. He changed his mobile number and she was also unable to reach the Li residence’s house phone. Grandpa’s servants all refused to take her call. Her heart slowly turned cold.

Now that things had come to this stage, she realized that apart from Chu Jingnan, she really had nothing left.

Xia Ruya looked at the door in front of her and took a deep breath. She dug out her keys from her bag and tried to open the door. But she quickly found out that Chu Jingnan had changed the locks. She was unable to enter.

Xia Ruya’s face turned completely pale. At this moment, she suddenly panicked at the thought that Chu Jingnan appeared to have also abandoned her.

"No... no way!" Xia Ruya muttered to herself. She raised a trembling hand to press the doorbell. She wanted to seek an explanation from Chu Jingnan.

The door was soon opened. Chu Jingnan stood there staring at her with a chilly expression. "What are you doing here?"

The relationship between the two of them was already dissolved during that major argument they had earlier. Now, all he felt toward Xia Ruya was a deep hatred and disgust.

Xia Ruya had looked down on him and felt he was useless.

Meanwhile, he also hated Xia Ruya and felt that she was no different than your typical shrew.

"I have come to apologize to you. I misspoke that day. Can you let me in first, so that we can have a good chat?" Xia Ruya was pale with sickness and extremely frail and thin. She was purposely effecting a weak and sympathy-arousing look.

But this soft, weak look of hers was no longer effective against Chu Jingnan, who had already seen the real side of her. He had wanted to rebuff her then and there, but after seeing the white bandage on her forehead, he hesitated a moment before pushing the door open. He said coldly, "Come in."

Anyway, he would be leaving Country Z very soon. By then, Xia Ruya would not be able to cling onto him anymore.

"Jingnan, thank you!"

Xia Ruya entered the house happily. But the smile was soon wiped off from her face. She could clearly see the suitcase that Chu Jingnan had placed inside the living room. All his furniture had been covered with white drapes.

Chu Jingnan was leaving.

His luggage had already been packed, while she remained in the dark the whole time.

Chu Jingnan was going to abandon her!

He was indeed vicious!

Noticing her strange look, Chu Jingnan explained, "The Xiao Corporation has a high status in Capital city and the Lin Family is obviously at odds with me. I’m no longer able to survive in Capital city, so I decided to return to Country M. I still have some connections in Wall Street, and it won’t be too difficult for me to rise again over there."

His tone was rather self-mocking.

If he had known this day would come, he would never have left all he had achieved in Country M just to return to Country Z. The taste of failure was worse than he imagined.

All his experiences in Country Z were full of failure and misery.

Xia Ruya smirked. "If I didn’t come over to find you today, would you have left without saying goodbye?"

Yes! It was exactly because she knew Chu Jingnan still had some backup plan, that was why she had set down her pride and came over to apologize to him. Chu Jingnan was even more selfish and heartless than she imagined.

A married couple were birds sharing the same nest, but they would each fly their own way when met with danger.

And they weren’t even husband and wife.

Chu Jingnan’s feelings for her had already dissipated the moment she lost the Li Corporation and was abandoned by the Li Family. Their so-called romance had deteriorated into one big joke.

Xia Ruya had ended up in such a pathetic and wretched state—ditched by all.

Chu Jingnan looked somewhat embarrassed but still spoke up. "Haven’t you always looked down upon me and feel that I’m useless? That I’m nothing without you? What’s the point of saying all that now?"

He had indeed never thought of bringing Xia Ruya along with him back to Country M.

He didn’t feel that he had done anything wrong. The saying went that one must always take a virtuous woman for a wife. Previously, he hadn’t seen through her true colors, but now that he had, there was no need to have anything more to do with her.

"That’s just an excuse for your own selfish and heartless behavior." Xia Ruya looked straight at him with clear disdain and mockery. "Chu Jingnan, you really are a good-for-nothing. Now, I finally know why Wen Xinya spurned you even though you tried so hard to cling to her."

Only at this point did Xia Ruya finally admit she was not as good as Wen Xinya.

At the very least, her taste in men was not as good as Wen Xinya’s.

Not only was the man she picked someone whom Wen Xinya had spurned, but he was also a heartless and selfish bastard.

It was truly laughable.

"Xia Ruya, what do you mean by that?"

Chu Jingnan’s face took on a twisted expression. Wen Xinya was his greatest bane in life. All his failures—whether it be in career or in relationships—stemmed from her. Wen Xinya’s disdain of him was the greatest shame in his life.

Xia Ruya’s lips were thin and cold as blades, spitting out venomous words. "Chu Jingnan, do you think that you can safely escape from it all after abandoning me..." She laughed disdainfully. "Dream on. If I have to suffer, I will make you suffer with me."

Just as Xia Ruya finished her sentence, the doorbell rang.

Chu Jingnan’s expression shifted. He shot her a malevolent look before turning to open the door.

Two uniformed policemen were standing right outside the door. They presented their proof of identity the moment they saw Chu Jingnan. "Mr. Chu Jingnan, the police suspect you of misappropriating company funds while you were CEO of the Xiao Corporation. Please come with us to the police station to assist in our investigations."

Chu Jingnan’s expression underwent a major change. He instinctively blurted out. "Officers, it must be a mistake!"

The misappropriation of company funds was a commercial crime. If he was found guilty, a light punishment would be a fine, while a serious sentencing would mean jail-time. And no matter which, he would forever bear a record, and his future would be ruined. No legitimate company would ever hire him again, especially those in the high-risk investment business.

Even if he returned to Country M, he would not have any kind of future.

The police officers maintained their poker-faces. "Whether or not it is a mistake, the police will investigate it. I hope you will cooperate with us."

Xia Ruya looked at the ashen-faced Chu Jingnan and laughed out loud. "Chu Jingnan, this is your retribution."
