Chapter 23: Almost

Walking out of the Li family, Li Jue pushed Fang Xuan away.

The two of them got into the car.

Li Jue drove silently.

Fang Xuan really couldn’t help but say, “Why do you say that? Others would have avoided it, why did you ask for a beating?”

“What has it got to do with you?”

Li Jue retorted in a cold tone.

“It doesn’t have anything to do with me. I just feel that I’m standing in the background. I thought that I would at least have a bite to eat. But, what’s there in the end? It didn’t even take five minutes.”

Li Jue was now filled with anger.

His mind was filled with the things that the Li family had done to him and his mother.

Fang Xuan knew what he was thinking, and she also knew that he had resentment in his heart.

“Your father is very against us. Let’s send a message to the outside world. But let me tell you, I won’t put on a real show with you!” Fang Xuan said the ugly words first.

Although Li Jue was good-looking, she would have to return to Planet X sooner or later.

In addition, she used the body of the original owner. She could empathize with the past relationship between the original owner and Li Chen.

The original owner loved Li Chen so deeply, but what did she get in the end?

With her face disfigured, Li Chen’s true colours were completely exposed.

Not only did he break off the engagement, but he also pushed all the responsibility to the original owner. In fact, he had already cheated on her a long time ago!

“Do you think that I will grow old with an ugly woman like you?”

Li Jue stopped the car, and his mocking words followed.

Fang Xuan was angered.

The Li family didn’t have any good people, not even Li Jue!

“I am indeed an ugly woman, so don’t act with an ugly woman.”

If it weren’t for the fact that she had to wait for the wound to heal, the scars on her face would have long been removed. Ugly woman?

Ha! It doesn’t exist!

“Fang Xuan, you talk a lot. Don’t think that just because you can read someone else’s mind, you can act so high and mighty!” Li Jue’s pair of black eyes stared sharply at Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan felt that it was funny.

“How can I act so high and mighty? You’re clearly angry out of embarrassment after being seen through by me!”

Don’t think that she didn’t know Li Jue’s real purpose.

He just wanted to get his biological father’s attention and find a sense of existence.

The real reason why he didn’t dodge when the old man hit him with a teacup was just to see if his father would feel guilty after he was injured and if he would feel sorry for him.

He was angry because he didn’t live up to his expectations.

And she just happened to notice it.

Li Jue didn’t respond.

A few seconds later, he leaned against the back of the chair and lit a cigarette.

Under the green smoke and white fog, Li Jue’s face was obscured.

Seeing him like this, Fang Xuan couldn’t help but advise him, “If your father really cared about you, you wouldn’t be living like this. What hope do you have for someone who doesn’t care about you?”

“That’s because Liu Hong and Fang Ming aren’t your biological parents. If you find your biological parents, can you guarantee that you’ll still be so cold when you face them?”

Li Jue flicked the ash from his cigarette.

“They’re not, but she… I also treat them as my biological parents. If not, how could I have given them so much money before?”

Fang Xuan hurriedly corrected herself as she almost exposed herself.

However, Li Jue noticed the pause and panic in her voice.

“She?”

“I’m referring to Liu Hong.”

Fang Xuan pretended to refer to Liu Hong.

If she said that she wasn’t Fang Xuan, Li Jue would definitely not believe her.

“Didn’t you still get the money back in the end?”

Li Jue sneered.

“Do you think I will continue to be stupid? They are the ones who want to draw a clear line with me. They are also the ones who will come looking for me when they see that I have paid off the money. They have always treated me as a tool to make money.”

“Didn’t everyone reveal their true colours when I had an accident?”

Fang Xuan retorred.

The partners canceled their contracts one after another, and she had to give a high amount of compensation.

The adoptive parents wanted to dissolve the relationship because they didn’t want to get involved in the debt and lose money.

The closest assistant of the original owner, Xiao Su, also ran away.

The fiancé even immediately broke off the engagement.

People who showed mercy were destined to die.

“Many times, the little hope you have in your heart is useless.”

“You seem to know a lot about it?” Li Jue sneered.

“I don’t. I just died once. Hurry up and finish smoking. I want to go home and sleep. I have a lot of things to do tomorrow.”

Fang Xuan urged him.

Li Jue didn’t say anything. After smoking this cigarette, he started the engine again.

Tonight was a difficult night.

Fang Xuan’s words were reasonable. The funny thing was that after losing so many things, he still had so much hope.

As for Fang Xuan, she went to the casino first.

However, she didn’t expect that Li Chen would stop her at the entrance of the club.

“You and my uncle just want to take revenge against me and the Li family, right? It’s fine if you want to take revenge, but why did you come to such a place to humiliate yourself?”
