Chapter 437: A Life and Death Struggle (Part One)
“Retreat to the wall!”
Ji Bo followed Shangguan Ning’s order.
Walking towards the wall, he suddenly asked, “Are you so devoted to him?”
Slightly startled, Shangguan Ning answered without hesitation. “Of course!”
She didn’t like any other man than Jing Yichen.
No one loved her more than Jing Yichen.
“If you find out one day that he has someone else by his side, or he has a love child with someone else, will you continue to love him?”
Shangguan Ning had no idea why Ji Bo would ask such a thing, but she said without hesitation either, “He is not that kind of man. It is impossible!”
Only she and Jing Yichen knew how deeply they loved each other. She firmly believed that Jing Yichen was never going to betray her.
Leaning against the wall, Ji Bo looked at this radiant woman and asked again, “Why impossible? Even a powerful man like President Jing was once tricked and fathered Jing Yiran?”
By saying “President Jing”, he was referring to Jing Zhongxiu.
Shangguan Ning s.h.i.+vered and bellowed at him. “Is that what you are planning to do? Shameless!”
“It is definitely shameless.” Ji Bo was suffocated by the pressure, but he had no intention to be a gentleman at this point. An ironic smile hovered over his elegant face. “Jing Yichen is way too powerful for any other method to work out. This is the most practical method to deal with him, although it is not a good one.”
Shangguan Ning couldn’t hold back any more. She tried to open the door as she pointed at Ji Bo with the gun.
Seeing that she was going out, Ji Bo stared at her and said, “If one day, he has nothing left, will you still be with him?”
Although Shangguan Ning believed that Jing Yichen was never going to lose everything and that Ji Bo and no one else was good enough to beat him, she still answered without hesitation, “Yes, I will be with him forever, no matter what happens!”
“What if he dies tomorrow?”
Rage flashed across Shangguan Ning’s eyes but she still said calmly, “Then I won’t live a day longer.”
“Is it worth it?”
“Nothing will be of any worth without him.”
Having said the last words, Shangguan Ning opened the door and walked out.
She was worried that Ji Bo would follow, so she ran downstairs.
She had no time to put on shoes in the room. Barefoot, she was stomping on the freezing stairs. But she felt nothing.
Shangguan Ning was not sure which floor she was on, but she kept running downstairs one floor after another.
As she was just approaching the exit, a hideous woman in a rose coloured dress appeared.
Shangguan Ning got startled. It looked as if the woman had been guarding there on purpose and knew that she would appear.
A smile hovered over her scarred face when the woman saw her.
“Sister, I knew you would come but I didn’t expect that it would happen so fast. It seems that Ji Bo still adores you so much. He still has feelings for you even if you are married. How devoted!”
Shangguan Rouxue!
Shangguan Ning recognized the voice. She was shocked, “What are you doing here?”
What surprised her was not her presence, but her face that had been ruined to such a horrifying degree.
But she knew better than to react to it. Shangguan Rouxue was surely not going to like being reminded of her disfigurement. Also, Shangguan Ning felt that her sister was not behaving normally.
What Shangguan Rouxue cared most about was her appearance. Despite it being ruined to such a degree, she still talked in a gentle way, creeping Shangguan Ning out. She had no idea who ruined the face which she had been so proud of. It was indeed a fierce method, much more cruel than killing her!
Shangguan Ning didn’t believe what Shangguan Rouxue said about Ji Bo’s fondness towards her.
She had known Ji Bo for many years, but they didn’t know each other so well. He had offered his help sometimes only because Ji Lili had behaved over the top.
Ji Bo was friendly and hospitable towards everyone. He always had a smile on his face when he was talking with people. Shangguan Ning didn’t sense anything different from him.
She felt that Shangguan Rouxue and Ji Lili were both making false accusations. Ji Bo had no special feelings towards her, at least she didn’t think so.
She had escaped because she had a gun.
She aimed the gun at Shangguan Rouxue as she said coldly, “Move away if you don’t want to die!”
Shangguan Rouxue was her worst enemy. Shangguan Ning might hesitate to shoot Ji Bo, but she would not think twice if she had to shoot Shangguan Rouxue.
Shangguan Rouxue had done so many terrible things to her, and should have died hundreds of times.
Shangguan Rouxue chuckled. Her voice was gentle but it was also very creepy.
Shangguan Rouxue suddenly showed her right hand that had been placed behind her back.
She also had a gun with her!
She aimed at Shangguan Ning and said brutally, “They wanted you to go back alive so that you run into the scene where your husband and another woman are in bed. But I think that you should die, for safety’s sake!”
Shangguan Ning’s face sunk. She held the gun even tighter.
Then she saw a row of men dressed in black appear behind Shangguan Rouxue’s back. They all looked fierce. Apparently, Shangguan Rouxue had brought them from home.
Shangguan Ning’s heart sunk deeply.
She might have had a chance to escape if Shangguan Rouxue was alone. But with so many of them, she would not make it out alive.
That was why Ji Bo didn’t come after her.
He had known that she would not be able to run away.
Shangguan Ning retreated and started to walk back upstairs one step after another.
Being with Ji Bo was much safer than being with Shangguan Rouxue.
At least, Ji Bo would not kill her. But this maniac, Shangguan Rouxue could shoot anytime.
“Sister, I envy you so much. Why are you always so lucky?”
Shangguan Rouxue was playing with the gun between her fingers. She no longer needed to point at Shangguan Ning, because dozens of men behind her, had trained their guns upon Shangguan Ning.
It would be best if Shangguan Ning became too nervous to hold onto her baby.
