Chu Jingnan's decision to sell his shares in Xiao Group and let Xiao Group repurchase them completely angered Xia Ruya.
In Chu Jingnan's opinion, the plot to seize Xiao's family was a lost cause, they had already been defeated. As long as there is life, there will be hope. He who knows the current situation is a hero. He did not feel that he had done anything wrong.
However, Xia Ruya has always been a person who will not give up until she reaches her goal and will not turn back until she hits the wall. Chu Jingnan's initiative to sell his shares was equivalent to selling her last hope. She could not accept this result.
She has lost too much and cannot lose any hope anymore, otherwise she will never be able to turn things around.
"Bang!" Xia Ruya pushed the door open fiercely and walked straight in.
"Xia Ruya, what are you doing here?"
Chu Jingnan looked at her with a gloomy expression. He was very displeased with Xia Ruya's sudden intrusion. He couldn't help but regret his decision to give her the spare key of the house.
The once charming, gentle Xia Ruya had long since turned into a bad-tempered, hysterical crazy woman. The huge contrast was hard for Chu Jingnan to believe. More importantly, Xia Ruya had accused him of incompetence in front of him before, which made Chu Jingnan unbearable.
"Chu Jingnan, explain to me clearly why you want to sell Xiao's shares?"
Xia Ruya questioned angrily. She felt that she had not failed yet. She still controlled a part of Mr. Z's power. Although the authority she could use was limited, as long as she managed it well, she might be able to keep Xiao's 25% stake.
"The Lin family is pressing me hard. I have no power and influence, and I can't keep my shares at all. Even if I don't take the initiative to sell them, they will be taken away by the Lin family. So what difference will the result make?"
It is true that Xia Ruya's questioning made Chu Jingnan very unhappy, but there was still some affection between the two of them. Chu Jingnan's years of quality and cultivation allowed him to patiently explain to her, but his face was full of impatience and his tone was not very good.
Xia Ruya sneered, and her slightly narrowed eyes showed a hint of contempt. "If that's the case, why didn't you discuss it with me before making your own decision? What qualifications do you have to do this?"
Her tone was sharp, her delicate and beautiful face was tinged with a coldness, and her whole body exuded a suffocating aggression.
"What do you mean?" A crack finally appeared on Chu Jingnan's gentle face. He stared at Xia Ruya with a terrifying look of cruelty.
Xia Ruya's arrogant look and strong attitude hurt him badly. Deep in his heart, he had a strong sense of self-esteem derived from his inferiority complex. He thought that Xia Ruya was trampling on his male self-esteem.
"Heh—" Xia Ruya laughed, and raised her eyebrows slightly, just like Wen Xinya's habit. However, the same action, when performed by Wen Xinya, was breathtakingly majestic, but when performed by her, it was cold and terrifyingly vicious: "If it weren't for me, could you have joined the Xiao Group and shown off your power and influence in the Xiao Group? Without my help, could you have controlled the Xiao Group step by step and taken over the 25% of the Xiao Group's shares? Chu Jingnan, you are nothing without me. What right do you have to take the initiative to sell the shares of the Xiao Group?"
What she said was just the truth. As for whether Chu Jingnan could accept it or what he thought in his heart, it was never within her consideration.
To be honest, Chu Jingnan is indeed a charming and capable man. He did attract her at one time, but that was based on the mutual benefit and win-win situation of both parties.
Now, without the bond of interests, who is he, Chu Jingnan
"Chu Jingnan, you are nothing without me?"
"Chu Jingnan, who are you without the Xiao family?"
Chu Jingnan looked at the arrogant woman in front of him and realized for the first time that the mask of gentleness and elegance had been torn off. The face in front of him was sinister, vicious and extremely hateful.
In his mind, what Xia Ruya had just said and what the directors of the Xiao Group had said to him kept interweaving, like magic music lingering in his ears, completely arousing his deep-seated inferiority and self-esteem.
"Pa—" Chu Jingnan slapped Xia Ruya hard.
The crisp sound of a slap echoed in her ears.
Xia Ruya covered her face and looked at Chu Jingnan's mind in disbelief. The same memories flooded her like a tide. Wen Xinya hit her, and Chu Jingnan also hit her. She never dared to be beaten by Wen Xinya, but what if Chu Jingnan hit her
Chu Jingnan sneered, "Xia Ruya, how noble do you think you are? You do have a good family background, but so what? You still lost to Wen Xinya again and again, and finally lost miserably. You still want to compare yourself with Wen Xinya. How can you compare with Wen Xinya? You are just a vicious female partner in Wen Xinya's life."
People are made by comparison.
In the past, he thought Wen Xinya was outstanding, but Xia Ruya, the eldest daughter of the Li family, was not much inferior.
However, now Xia Ruya only made him feel sick, while Wen Xinya was still as brilliant, elegant and noble as he remembered, which left him with an unforgettable feeling.
"What did you say?"
Xia Ruya's pupils kept shrinking and her breathing became rapid. She stared at Chu Jingnan, just waiting for the string of reason in her head to break, and then she would rush forward and bite the enemy in front of her fiercely.
What she could not accept the most was the fact that she was not as good as Wen Xinya. Chu Jingnan's words were undoubtedly like rubbing salt into the wound deep in her heart that was bleeding, festering, rotting, and emitting a foul odor.
Chu Jingnan suddenly felt a sense of revenge in his heart: "Xia Ruya, don't deceive yourself. You are not as good as Wen Xin..."
"Chu Jingnan, shut up..."
Xia Ruya screamed at the top of her lungs and suddenly rushed towards Chu Jingnan. Her sharp nails scratched three bloody marks on Chu Jingnan's neck, which was shocking.
"Xia Ruya, you're crazy."
The guilt that Chu Jingnan had felt for hitting Xia Ruya just now was instantly swept away. At this moment, Chu Jingnan only felt disgust towards Xia Ruya. He restrained Xia Ruya's hands and pushed her hard.
"Ah--" Xia Ruya screamed miserably, staggered and fell to the ground, her forehead hitting the corner of the glass coffee table. Blood gushed out from her forehead instantly, and it looked like she was seriously injured.
She covered the wound on her head, curled up on the ground, groaning in pain, her body trembling constantly.
Chu Jingnan was shocked. He just wanted to get rid of Xia Ruya and didn't want to hurt her. Who knew that Xia Ruya was so vulnerable? He just pushed her and she fell to the ground and hit her forehead.
