Chapter 313: Retribution

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Nan Kang’s company collapsed, the smile on Zheng Yue’s face visibly increased.

“I plan to find a new job,” she said to Murong Qiao.

At this moment, the two of them were in the dormitory. Yang Xin and Leng Yan had gone out to buy something.

Murong Qiao’s eyes flickered. “That’s good.”

She no longer cared about Zheng Yue. She was just a p.a.w.n she used to take revenge on Nan Kang.

However, when she recalled how drunk she was that night, Murong Qiao sighed in her heart.

“I’m going for an interview. Goodbye.” Zheng Yue took the initiative to say goodbye.

Murong Qiao nodded in response and glanced at the message on her cell phone.

She quickly skimmed through the messages and read the contents with a few glances. Then, the corners of her mouth curled up into a happy smile. Her beautiful eyes curved and shone with joy.

Murong Qiao had also sent someone to keep an eye on Nan Kang. Now that she knew that their family was living in a rented house and their lives were embarra.s.sing, Murong Qiao’s mood could be said to have soared.

He should have been punished like this when he treated her mother so coldly back then.

Murong Qiao.

Ever since the company went bankrupt, Nan Kang had developed the habit of drinking.

“Father…” Nan Xuan frowned as soon as he returned home.

There was nowhere to put the wine bottles on the ground. Looking at Nan Kang, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room and drinking with a red face, Nan Xuan could not say anything even if he hated it.

Nan Xuan tidied up and walked into the kitchen.

After moving, they couldn’t afford to hire a maid. Nan Xuan took over their daily life.

“…I’m going out for a while.” Nan Kang’s voice came from the living room.

Nan Xuan didn’t respond and only thought that Nan Kang was like before, unwilling to eat.

He was not good at cooking to begin with. It was already his limit to make some edible food. In the past few days, Nan Kang had said more than once that the food was bad, and Nan Xuan was already used to it.

However, Nan Kang went out and hailed a taxi and gave the driver an address.

He was going to look for Zheng Yue.

From the moment the doc.u.ments disappeared, Nan Kang thought of Zheng Yue.

Things had already developed to this point, Nan Kang was naturally not a fool. After thinking about it, he could pick out many suspicious points about Zheng Yue.

He was furious, but at the same time, he felt that Zheng Yue was so terrifying that he was shocked.

The career that he had worked hard for half his life was gone just like that. Nan Kang could not take this lying down and wanted to settle the score with Zheng Yue.

At this moment, Zheng Yue’s interview had ended and she had just returned home.

Thanks to her outstanding work ability and her beautiful resume from Nan Kang, she easily pa.s.sed the interview and obtained a good job.

However, before she could celebrate, her good mood was suppressed by the strong and chaotic knocking on the door.

“Zheng Yue! Get out!”

It was Nan Kang’s voice.

“Zheng Yue! 1 know you’re f*cking at home!”

His irritable and rough voice made one panic.

Zheng Yue took a deep breath and pretended to be calm as she walked to the door and looked out through the peephole.

Nan Kang, whose face was red, was standing at the door of her house and calling out at the top of his lungs. He looked unreasonable and wouldn’t stop until he saw her.

The door was slammed loudly, but Zheng Yue slowly took two steps back.

Zheng Yue was no longer the same person who only knew how to be afraid. Seeing Nan Kang come looking for her, she immediately found her cell phone and called the police.

“h.e.l.lo, there’s a lunatic knocking on my door right now. The address is…” She was calm and decisive.

Before long, the police appeared and forcibly took the drunk Nan Kang away.

The next day, during cla.s.s, Zheng Yue’s tired eyes were very eye-catching.

“You… are you suffering from insomnia?” Yang Xin asked hesitantly.

After Zheng Yue returned, she had been trying her best to behave herself, so Yang Xin only asked out of concern.

Zheng Yue smiled. “The mosquitoes bothered me the entire night so 1 couldn’t rest well.”

Murong Qiao sat beside Yang Xin and listened to their short conversation. Her gaze landed on the blackboard that the teacher was writing on in front of her, revealing a hint of interest.

She had already been informed about Nan Kang knocking on Zheng Yue’s door last night.

She was not surprised at all that Nan Kang would look for Zheng Yue. A person like him would probably feel terrible if he was overturned by Zheng Yue.

“Mosquitoes are really annoying.” Yang Xin agreed.

Zheng Yue lowered her eyes and did not say anything, looking like she was thinking.

Murong Qiao took in the subtle expressions on her face and took out her phone to send a message.

[Keep a closer eye on him. Report immediately if there’s anything.]

She had a feeling that the matter between Zheng Yue and Nan Kang would come to an end soon.

In the next few days, Nan Kang wandered around Zheng Yue’s house like a ghost.

Calling the police was not a long-term solution, and moving house would not solve the problem. After Zheng Yue understood this, she decided to find a time to talk to Nan Kang.

“Come in.” She opened the door.

Outside the door, Nan Kang looked at Zheng Yue, who had suddenly opened the door. Seeing that she was dressed brightly and had exquisite makeup on her face, he was furious.

Zheng Yue did not look at him. Instead, she walked to the table and sat down. “Let’s talk.”

These words had been said by the two of them countless times, but Zheng Yue knew very well that it was different this time.

Her calm expression made Nan Kang even angrier. Looking at the completely different Zheng Yue in front of him, he felt his blood boil. Unexpectedly, the eagle had its eyes pecked out by a sparrow.

“Talk?” Nan Kang sneered.

He simply sat down and faced Zheng Yue. His gaze was so fierce that it was as if he could eat her up.

“Stop hara.s.sing me. We’ll live our own lives.” Zheng Yue raised her condition.

Nan Kang was even angrier. “Live our own lives?”

“You destroyed half of my life’s work and then told me that we should live our own lives?” He shouted in a rough voice.

Nan Kang looked at Zheng Yue in front of him and felt the anger in his heart grow even more. He wished he could strangle her to death immediately.

Zheng Yue nodded. “Yes.”

She did not look frightened by Nan Kang’s tone. She was calm and her makeup and clothes were exquisite and beautiful. She was no longer as innocent as before.

On the other hand, Nan Kang’s clothes were tattered and his hair that had been neatly styled in the past no longer existed. He looked like a vagrant in dire straits and was reeking of alcohol. No one could tell that he was once the President of a big company.

A smile appeared on Zheng Yue’s lips, carrying a hint of joy, but it deeply hurt Nan Kang’s eyes.

“Zheng Yue.” Nan Kang stared at her. “Why are you doing this to me? Haven’t 1 treated you well enough?”

“I bought you anything you wanted. You don’t lack clothes or bags—” His eyes were red with anger.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zheng Yue.

Instead, she mocked, “I’m like a dog under you.

If you’re happy, you’ll coax me and reward me and make me happy too. If you’re unhappy, you’ll ignore me and throw me aside?

1 begged you so bitterly back then to give me a child… But how did you treat me, Nan Kang?”

The light in Zheng Yue’s eyes gradually turned cold. Her gaze was as sharp and cold as a knife that shot straight at Nan Kang, cutting off a piece of his flesh.

“You tried everything to abort my child.” Her words seemed to be squeezed out of her teeth.

“I went to hide in my hometown and you followed me. The child was already six to seven months old at that time—but you still won’t let me off.”

Nan Kang looked at Zheng Yue, who was telling him everything with a cold face, and seemed to have become a different person.

However, Zheng Yue had no intention of stopping.

There seemed to be a ball of fire in her eyes, so hot that it could burn people. “Even when 1 fell off the cliff and bled profusely, I begged you to save me.

But how did you abandon me? Nan Kang?”

Every tearful accusation turned into knives that stabbed Nan Kang, recounting his “crimes” in the past..
