The Villainous Ex-Wife of the Fallen Tycoon - Chapter 2

Su Yuanzheng was prepared to be beaten up.

Over all these years, he had never touched her not even a kiss.

Now, in one go, he had taken her innocence. She must be feeling utterly disgusted.

“Last night was an accident. The water you gave me was spiked,” Su Yuanzheng crouched down and explained patiently.

“I’ll do anything you ask.”

Xia Yutong stared blankly at the man before her. In a few years, he would become incredibly wealthy, but right now.

His clothes were shabby, the black top faded from too many washes, the jeans weathered by time, a buzz cut, and cheap sneakers.

There was no hint of the future tycoon in him.

Su Yuanzheng felt uneasy under Xia Yutong’s gaze. While showering earlier, he had pieced together the events of the night, his brows furrowing tightly. “That glass of water was tampered with.”

Xia Yutong suddenly laughed. Was the future tycoon this green before his rise to power?

Su Yuanzheng’s skin wasn’t fair at all rough, likely from years of labor, with a few pimples dotting his forehead.

She grabbed his hand to examine it, large, thick, and coarse, like a fly swatter.

Su Yuanzheng quickly pulled his hand back. “Xia Yutong!”

What was she doing? Had the shock driven her mad?

Su Yuanzheng said, ” I’ll get to the bottom of this and give you an explanation. I won’t bother you again.”

What he really wanted to say was, could she give him another chance? He would treat her well, cherish her with his life.

Xia Yutong’s smile hadn’t faded yet; she was utterly captivated by the sight of the future tycoon.

How had such immense fortune fallen into her lap?

She was originally a white-collar worker from the 21st century, drowning in endless overtime without extra pay. That day, she had worked until 2 a.m., stood up, and everything went black, she had died from overwork.

Xia Yutong stood up, forcing herself to suppress her smile, but the passion from the previous night left her legs too weak to stand steadily. The moment she rose, her legs gave way again.

Su Yuanzheng quickly supported her by the waist, consumed by guilt. “I’m sorry!”

“It’s fine.”

Su Yuanzheng said, “I’ll figure out what happened.”

Of course, she knew what had happened. In the original story, she had been blind to her own status, obsessed with climbing the social ladder, and set her sights on Zhou Hengzhi.

But Zhou Hengzhi’s sister, Zhou Jin, had always despised her, and the two had plenty of unresolved conflicts.

The original Xia Yutong had even acted like Zhou Jin’s sister-in-law in front of her, publicly declaring, “Your brother is going to marry me soon.”

“See this black card? It’s your brother’s.”

“And this ring in my hand? It’s your family heirloom.”

“Your brother would go through fire and water for me. How could he love me so much? Zhou Jin, it’s not me clinging to your brother, it’s your brother clinging to me. He says he can’t live without me.”

“Look at all these messages your brother sent me. Oh my, you’ll probably never meet a man who treats you this well in your next life. You like Lin Wang, but Lin Wang likes me too.”

The original Xia Yutong had been so smug she was practically shaking her legs on the spot, covering her mouth as she laughed. “Zhou Jin, call me sister-in-law. Once I marry your brother, I’ll treat you well and share the good things with you.”

Zhou Jin, proud and stubborn, was so furious her face turned green, itching to rush over and fight her right then and there.

Then Zhou Hengzhi arrived, and the original host clung to his arm, wailing, “Hengzhi, don’t take it to heart with Zhou Jin. She didn’t mean to.”

One incident after another, Zhou Jin held a grudge. Upon finding out that she had bought a certain kind of drug, Zhou Jin also bought a packet, directly sabotaging her plan to seduce Zhou Hengzhi and spend the night with him.

Thinking

“So that’s what you think?”

“What else am I supposed to think? Everyone says I’m your child bride. I used to be the young lady of the Xia family, do you really think you’re worthy of having me as your child bride? I won’t be grateful to your family. Your parents were only nice to me because they hoped I’d marry you. Dream on!”

Su Yuanzheng grabbed her hand: “Tongtong, Zhou Hengzhi is not a good man. Come back to your senses. He’s just playing with you. I truly love you.”

“What’s the use of love? Can love be used as money? That bag I like only costs twenty thousand, and you haven’t bought it for me in a whole year. All your hard work is so worthless, how can you give me a good life? Su Yuanzheng, why don’t you take a piss and look at what a mess you are? You’re like a beggar! You’re not even as good as Zhou Hengzhi’s dog!”
