Chapter 5: Pathetic!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

This man clearly looked very weak.

But his words were firm and irrefutable.

Zhang Luzhong’s gaze narrowed. The crazier a person was, the calmer they were. At the moment, Jiang Bei was…

He believed that Jiang Bei would really do what he said. He dared to kill!

He understood that his man must have done something wrong and angered the man in front of him.

But…

“No money, no deal.” Zhang Luzhong lit a cigarette and shook his head.

He was afraid of death, but he also loved money.

He had lived a life of bloodshed. He only wanted to help his men settle down.

He did not want to anger the madman in front of him again.

“I can pay back the money, but I need time,” Jiang Bei suddenly said.

“Mr. Jiang, I’ve heard this enough times, but where will you get the money?” Zhang Luzhong shook his head. He needed a satisfactory answer.

“This house can be sold, and it’s enough to pay off his debt. He does need time,” Xu Xinrong turned her head and said calmly.

Her eyes were like dead water. Even if it was the boss in front of her, she had nothing to fear.

Her heart had long died, and all she had left in the world was her young daughter.

As for this house that was about to be sold, she felt nothing for it.

If the house was gone, the pain would also be gone. She could still rent a house to live in and raise her daughter by herself.

“Oh?” Zhang Lizhong was obviously surprised, and this answer was indeed satisfactory to him.

“How about this, Mr. Jiang, I’ll give you another ten days, plus interest, a total of 50,000 yuan. As for Third Brother’s medical expenses… since he provoked you first, let’s just forget about it, how about that?”

“This house is definitely worth 50,000 yuan.” Zhang Luzhong stood up with a smile.

“No problem.” Jiang Bei clenched his fists and nodded in agreement.

“In that case, I won’t bother the two of you anymore.” Zhang Luzhong waved his hand and led everyone away. However, before leaving the house, he took a deep look at Jiang Bei.

“When Wanwan wakes up, I’ll bring Wanwan back to my mother’s place.” Xu Xinrong turned her head and said calmly.

“Xinrong… Listen to me.” Jiang Bei’s hand trembled slightly, and the sweat on his forehead dripped down again.

“Give me ten days. I won’t sell the house. I’ll make money.” Jiang Bei took out the two 100-yuan bills from his pocket with his trembling hand.

“I’ll use this money to make more money. Xinrong, you have to trust me, okay? I won’t spend these 200 yuan recklessly. I’ll go into business. I’ll really work hard.”

“Wanwan likes flowers, I’ll buy her a lot of flowers, I’ll buy you a lot of beautiful clothes, I’ll buy a bigger house, send Wanwan to the best kindergarten, I…”

Jiang Bei spoke without thinking, but he suddenly couldn’t say anything.

His throat seemed to be blocked by something.

It was Xu Xinrong’s calm gaze.

Hearing Jiang Bei’s words, Xu Xinrong’s gaze no longer contained any disappointment. It was as if she was listening to a joke.

Suddenly, she smiled gently. “Jiang Bei, do you think I’ll believe you? Let me go, okay?”

“Or, take the knife in your hand and stab me as well. Let me truly be free and live a good life with Wanwan, just like you said.”

The coldness in Xu Xinrong’s eyes was like a hammer, breaking Jiang Bei’s heart.

“Xinrong, you have to believe me! Please… believe me this time! I swear to you!”

“Xinrong, I swear to you. Give me ten days. I can really do it!”

Jiang Bei panicked. He tried to stand up, but his body was so exhausted that he didn’t even have the strength to stand up.

His legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

He was in a pathetic state.

“I will change. I will take good care of you and our daughter! Xinrong, please don’t go…” Jiang Bei raised his head and struggled to speak.

He tried to stand up, but he did not have the strength anymore.

His eyes were filled with pain.

How could he watch his daughter and wife leave him!

He wanted to relive this life. He didn’t want to suffer the pain of losing his wife and family again!

“Xinrong… give me ten days. If I can’t do it… I will leave by myself, forever.” Jiang Bei lowered his head and hit his head heavily on the floor.

This was his promise.

If he couldn’t do it, he would die and leave forever.

“What’s the point? Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me,” Xu Xinrong said calmly and moved her gaze away from Jiang Bei.

This man’s behavior only made her feel disgusted.

Creak…

The door of the room suddenly creaked.

The young body behind the door appeared in front of Jiang Bei.

Her swollen eyes and tears on her face stung Jiang Bei’s heart.

“Daddy, mommy… can you not separate?”

“Mommy, can you forgive daddy? Please, daddy has really changed…”

Wanwan didn’t sleep. She stood behind the door and eavesdropped. She thought she would hear the conversation between her hero father, who had gotten rid of the bad guys and got back together with her mother, but she didn’t expect it to end like this.

“Wanwan, mommy will take you to grandma’s house.” Xu Xinrong stood up. Before Jiang Bei could react, she had already brought Wanwan out of the door.

“I won’t go, I won’t go! Daddy! I want daddy!” Wanwan stretched out her hand and shouted at Jiang Bei, who was still inside the house.

She cried so hard that her heart was torn apart.

“Bang!”

The door was slammed shut.

Jiang Bei lay on the ground, tears gushing out of his eyes like a dam breaking.

He bit his lips hard. Fresh blood and pain made him feel like he had regained his strength. He got up, stumbled against the door, unlocked the door, and rushed out!

When he reached the corner of the first floor, his legs finally lost all strength.

He could not hold on to the handrail, and he lost his footing. He fell down the stairs, lying at the end of the corridor with his head bleeding.

He heard his daughter crying.

In his blurry vision, he saw his daughter, who had cried her eyes out, running towards him.

Jiang Bei’s consciousness was also gradually fading. “Xinrong… just give me one day. I’ll prove it to you. I’ll change, okay? Just one day… that’s fine too..”
