Chapter 255: 255 Sorry Chapter 255: 255 Sorry “I’m also very angry.”

Yang Jinxia said it with a smile still on her face, not looking angry at all, “Last night, I really wanted to beat you up.”

“After I got back, I looked up that female celebrity. She’s really something, huh? Which man could resist her?” She seemed to sigh, “Speaking of which, I have her to thank. If it weren’t for her showing up, you and Xiyun wouldn’t have broken up so quickly.”

Chen Xu’s fist suddenly tightened, and he said, “I wasn’t going to break up with her.”

Yang Jinxia smiled and said, “Then I’ll just wait and see.”

Just then, a series of car horns sounded behind them. Chen Xu remembered that he had been standing at the entrance of the residential area, blocking the cars from leaving. He stepped aside, turned around, and saw a very familiar car–it was Liu Yumeng’s.

His heart skipped a beat when he saw the car drive slowly past, the window rolled down, with Liu Yumeng driving and Luo Xiyun sitting in the passenger seat.

Liu Yumeng had a cold smile on her face and spat out the word “Scumbag.”

On the other side, Luo Xiyun was looking straight ahead, as if she hadn’t seen him at all.

The car quickly turned the corner and disappeared onto the road.

This really added fuel to the fire.

Chen Xu, however, didn’t react much, looking somewhat wooden.

Things had already come to this, how much worse could they get?

Beside him, Yang Jinxia said, “I’ll take you back to the hospital.”

“Thank you,” Chen Xu nodded.

This time, Yang Jinxia was driving a minivan with plenty of space in the back. After Chen Xu got into the car, he watched the scenery outside the window.

Yang Jinxia, meanwhile, was looking through some documents.

After about ten minutes of silence, Chen Xu suddenly said, “I’m sorry.”

“Hmm?”

“When we were together, I thought about spending my life with you. If you hadn’t left back then, even if I had later learned the truth, I wouldn’t have gone back to Xiyun, nor would there have been the issue with Jinxuan.”

He hadn’t slept all night, thinking over and over, how did things turn out like this today?

If he had been a bit bolder back then, or if Luo Xiyun had been more proactive, they would have ended up together. Then all the subsequent events wouldn’t have happened, and he wouldn’t have dragged Yang Jinxia into the second dream.

After the second dream, if Yang Jinxia hadn’t left him, even though he knew she had deceived him, he probably wouldn’t have broken up with her. There would be no issues involving Luo Xiyun.

After the third dream, if he had known Luo Xiyun had died for him, he wouldn’t have accepted Bai Jinxuan…

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world. All kinds of mistakes and discrepancies led to today’s situation.

He also knew that the biggest problem was with himself. Indecisiveness breeds chaos. When it came to emotions, he was not decisive enough, not proactive when he should have been, and unwilling to give up when he should have.

He understood the logic, but when it came to the pain of cutting flesh, not many could be resolute. At least, he couldn’t.

Now, it was no longer just a matter of cutting flesh. The longer they were together, the deeper the emotions grew. He couldn’t imagine what he would become if he really lost Luo Xiyun.

His relationship with Yang Jinxia was even more complicated. Even he couldn’t clearly describe his feelings for this woman. He was very wary of her, reminding himself to be cautious around her, yet his actions were extremely contradictory; he even actively told her his biggest secret.

Deep in his heart, he knew one thing. Yang Jinxia would deceive him, play little tricks on him, and even embarrass the women by his side. But she would never do anything that was detrimental to him.

Today, he had taken the initiative to look for Luo Xiyun, but Yang Jinxia had purposely waited for him at the entrance of the neighborhood to offer him an umbrella and escort him back to the hospital. In a way, Luo Xiyun was her love rival. He simply couldn’t ignore the extent to which she went.

“Of course, talking about this now is meaningless.”

Chen Xu chuckled self-deprecatingly, “Although I don’t know what you truly feel inside, you’ve always been very good to me, very good indeed. In front of you, however, I kept thinking about how to win back another woman. Upon reflection, as a man, I am truly irredeemable.”

Yang Jinxia’s mouth curved into a slight smile and said, “It’s good you still have some conscience. I accept your apology.”

When Chen Xu heard her say this, he felt a bit better and remembered something, asking “If you get too close to me now, could it cause any trouble?”

“Do you know who was the one who split us up initially?”

Chen Xu had a guess in his mind but still asked, “Who?”

“It was Xiyun’s father, Luo Zhenghai.”

Chen Xu thought so, having heard from Luo Xiyun the tangled grievances between the Luo Family and Yang Jinxia. He knew that part of the Luo Family’s wealth was still in Yang Jinxia’s hands and that Luo Zhenghai was determined to take it back. That was the root of their conflict.

Yang Jinxia said somewhat gleefully, “Luo Zhenghai was bent on catching my weak points, forcing me to break up with you. In the end, it backfired, involving his own daughter. When he found out Xiyun’s boyfriend was you, his reaction was really interesting. He even made a special call to me, asking me to come forward and split you two up. Now that you finally show signs of breaking up, he surely won’t want to interfere more, giving us some peace.”

“Now that Luo Zhenghai’s brother has passed away, your marital relationship with them should automatically dissolve, right? The Luo Family can’t control whom you are with anymore?” Chen Xu asked.

In the past, even if he was curious, he wouldn’t pry into such private matters. However, after opening up to Luo Xiyun just now, his mentality had changed. He began to really see Yang Jinxia as his woman. Her issues were his, and he definitely wanted to make things clear before considering how to respond.

Yang Jinxia keenly noticed his shift and didn’t hide it from him, saying, “Initially, I had an agreement with their family that I must bear a son for the Luo Family before I can manage the wealth belonging to Luo Zhengxin. Moreover, this wealth will have to be inherited by the Luo Family’s bloodline. Luo Zhengxin left quite a bit, now preserved in a cryostorage.”

“So, strictly speaking, that portion of the wealth isn’t mine, I am just managing it on their behalf.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu frowned, troubled by the thought of her having children with another man.

Yang Jinxia placed her hand gently on the back of his hand, softly saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t have children with any other man besides you.”

Chen Xu’s frown relaxed, then he suddenly remembered something she had said before about preserving his… His heart stirred, “Could it be that you are planning to…”

Seeing his expression, Yang Jinxia knew what he was thinking and shook her head, “Luo Zhenghai isn’t a fool. If I were to have a child, he would definitely use all means to ensure it is of Luo blood.”

Hearing her say this, Chen Xu finally felt relieved. He was worried she would claim the child to be of Luo blood. His child acknowledging another man as the father and taking someone else’s surname was something he couldn’t accept.

Out of curiosity, he asked, “How much is that wealth actually worth?”

“When it was in Luo Zhengxin’s hand, it was about eighty billion yuan. Now, it’s about over three hundred billion.”

Hearing that figure, Chen Xu fell silent, no wonder Yang Jinxia was unwilling to give it up. This was a fortune that could drive anyone insane.

At the same time, he realized, there was no room for maneuver between Yang Jinxia and Luo Zhenghai. This wealth originally belonged to the Luo Family, and it was natural for Luo Zhenghai to want to recover it. Yang Jinxia wouldn’t be likely to give up such a fortune easily either.

Chen Xu felt that Yang Jinxia’s endeavor to claim this fortune was morally questionable. Yet, he found himself unable to even suggest a word of caution.

When the stakes are high enough, morality and justice become so utterly powerless.

Asking himself, if he were in her place, he certainly wouldn’t be able to resist either.

At that moment, the car stopped.

They had arrived at the hospital.
