Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 848 - This is a Cruel World

Chapter 848: This is a Cruel World

Did he really judge wrongly? However, he felt that this was impossible. Xia Ruoxin did not look like that type of person. However, the reality was that he had seen it for himself. Perhaps... in this world, the least trustworthy thing would be a person’s heart. It was the hardest thing to change, but it was also the easiest.

Perhaps, she really changed. Chu Lui really had nothing now, but so what? If he could build the Chu Enterprise, he could build another miracle. He had not reached the dead end; he was far from it.

However, the problem now was not about money, but his cousin, Chu Lui. He was made a cuckold, and this would probably be the biggest and most hurtful betrayal of his life.

He was not upset about Xia Yixuan’s betrayal because he did not love her anymore.

He was not upset about Li Manni’s betrayal also because he did not love her anymore.

However, Xia Ruoxin was different. He had loved that woman for twenty-odd years. Only Du Jingtang knew how devoted Chu Lui was. Could he really take such an impact?

Du Jingtang rested his chin on the bed. He squatted until he was a bit tired so he just sat on the floor altogether.

When he woke up in the morning, he was still sitting on the floor and had drooled all over the blanket. Luckily, there was a blanket on his body; if not, he would have frozen to death.

A chill ran down his spine, and when he looked up, the person was empty. No, the bed was empty, and the person had disappeared.

A nurse came in to tidy the room. Du Jingtang hurriedly stood up.

“Wait, can I ask? Where did the patient go?”

“You mean Mr. Chu? He had already left in the morning after doing the discharging procedures.” The nurse remembered Chu Lui really clearly just like any other female here. He was just hospitalized, but he still charmed many women. However, no matter how much interest they had in him, it was of no use. That man would never accept them.

“Oh, right.” The nurse remembered something.

“Mr. Chu said that he needs some quiet time recently so don’t call him or try to find him.”

“Oh...” Du Jingtang understood what he meant; he had been ditched.

“Also, Mr. Du.”

The nurse called Du Jingtang’s name again.

“Hm? Anything else?” Du Jingtang rubbed his face and smiled again, but his smile was kind of ugly.

The nurse carried the blanket and whatnots and did not forget to say, “Mr. Chu asked you to settle the hospital bill.”

Du Jingtang touched his pocket. It seemed like he did not bring his wallet. He did not know how much his character was worth and if it could be used. However, in the end, he did not have the face to use his character as money. This was not a place that recognized people’s faces and their morals.

He could only give a certain man a call.

“Hey, some guy.”

“Hm?” The voice on the other end was cold, and it gave him Chu Lui’s vibes.

“Bring some money over. I’m at the hospital.”

“Mm...” The other side answered.

Du Jingtang shook the phone in his hand. Done; now, he could only wait outside. Just that, he suddenly frowned. He did not know what was wrong with the world and why things would end up this way.

His office, his cousin...

What kind of unlucky year was this?

...

Chu Lui took out the fish from the pot and threw it into the trash can. His face was still pale, and his tightly-pressed lips were white.

He turned around and walked into the dark room without even hitting anything; perhaps he was used to it.

Bang! He closed the door, and the silence at this time could suppress and kill a living person.

Outside the window, some light that was not too warm or bright entered; one could still feel the sky from outside. It should not be too good, but it definitely was not raining.

The man buried himself in the darkness and buried himself, for a very, very... very long time.

If he did not have breathing—if his chest did not rise, people would really have thought that he had died.

At this time, his phone left on the table outside kept crying. He did not know who called, and the noise sounded like it wanted someone’s life. Just that the man was void of feelings and allowed the phone to make a ruckus and vibrate on the table as if it had a life of its own. A woman once said that his phone knew how to dance so the man surprisingly fell in love with this tone and had not changed it in a while.

Bang! This phone dropped on the floor and shattered into pieces.

...

The sky outside was pretty dark, and many pedestrians started walking quickly without much pauses, perhaps because it was about to rain. The weather lately was just this weird. Actually, it had rained for about a month and had just stopped. Was it going to rain again?

Recently, the most famous news was about the Chu Enterprise changing its CEO. Sure enough, the business world was filled with ups and downs, and without notice, it was already a new era.

On the big billboard outside the large buildings, an interview of a man was playing. This man was the new leader of the Chu Enterprise, the young master of Hao Han Enterprise, Min Guocheng.

Even though Chu Enterprise was still Chu Enterprise, everyone knew that it had become another company’s subsidiary. However, with the scale of the Chu Enterprise, the subsidiary might not be able to contain it.

Perhaps it would become the main company; no one knew for a fact.

However, the change of name was just a matter of time.

A white, thin hand pulled open the curtain and let the remnants of the light rays shine in, which could not add much color to the overly-white face. Perhaps many people did not like this kind of weather, and so did she.

Xia Ruoxin hugged the dolly in her arms with one hand, and her colorless lips were tightly pressed together. She leaned her head against the transparent glass, and her lips were trembling as she said something.

The dolly was pretty old, but it was still clean and pretty.

Suddenly, she thought of something. Her slightly aching shoulder seemed to not be able to lift her entire life.

It seemed like this entire thing had ended and was set in stone. The Chu Enterprise had become the Min family’s, and the local business circle had a great washing; the three words ‘Min Guocheng’ then became the talk of the business world.
