Chapter 4 Suicide

Author: Jiang Yang
Bo Yan appeared out of nowhere, the usual smile she always saw from him completely lost from his face as his cold stare turned into one of murderous intent.

"Eh, argh... Brother Bo Yan, why are you here?"

Shen Rou staggered back in panic with a hand over her mouth, reeling in disbelief from Bo Yan's sudden appearance.

The bags under Bo Yan's eyes became more prominent, illustrating the building rush of emotion that swirled violently inside him.

Shen Rou had always been the one girl he wanted to marry.

She vanished on the night before the wedding, and the Shen Family had no other choice but to offer Shen Zhiwei as a replacement. Everything had been part of Shen Zhiwei's meticulous scheme!

The thought that he had walked down the aisle with this woman when his sweetheart Shen Rou was being savagely violated again and again only brought him pain and regret...

"It's all my fault, my precious Rou. I should have kept you from harm myself."

"No..." Shen Rou bit her lip, her head shaking as her eyes glistened with moisture. She dashed out to the balcony, crying in anguish.

"No, it's not your fault. If it's anyone's fault, it's mine. I'm tainted. I'm soiled. I'm now unworthy to be your wife! You even have a baby now with Sister Zhiwei... I... I'll see you again in the next life..."

"NOOO..."

Bo Yan's expression changed into complete surprise, the bags below his eyes now a dark pall of gloom as his heart raced to the point of nearly bursting.

Shen Rou swallowed hard and said nothing, her frail body shivering when the cold and steely winds brushed harshly by.

All it would take was another strong gust of wind, and she could just fall off the ledge.

The veins on Bo Yan's temple bulged and throbbed with anxiety. He wanted so much to go near and hold her, but he was equally afraid that he might frighten her. Keeping his emotions in check, he murmured gently.

"Please, my precious Rou. It's dangerous there. Please come down. I can never dislike you. Please, listen to me! Just come down, all right?"

Shen Zhiwei could have sworn that she had never once seen him so afraid and flustered.

The one who made him so was the woman named Shen Rou.

It was just the difference between being loved or not—it was as simple as that.

"Please, Rou, please. You need to calm down. Don't you want Mommy anymore? Mommy has been waiting three long years for you. Please! God! What sin have I done to deserve such punishment?!"

Zhou Jin sobbed and cried with tremendous pain and sorrow. Suddenly, she knelt in front of Shen Zhiwei, banging her head on the floor,

"Please, Zhiwei, Mommy begs you! Please! Say something to her! Ask her to come down! Look what have you done to her! She's now mad and insane after you had those men kidnap and rape her! She's wounded now! She'll never be able to pry Bo Yan away from you anymore..."

Bo Yan's pupils shrunk sharply as he wheeled around to regard Shen Zhiwei coldly.

"YOU! THINK OF SOMETHING TO GET HER DOWN THIS INSTANT!"

"She's only feigning her madness... I dare say she wouldn't dare jump..."

"YOU STILL WANT TO SEE YOUR SON, DON'T YOU!?" Bo Yan shouted. He reached out his arm and grabbed her shoulders firmly before he violently shook her back and forth,

"If anything, anything happens to Rou... I swear... I swear you and your wretched son will pay!"

Shen Zhiwei nearly fell to the ground, and she had barely steadied herself when she heard the threat. She felt herself suffocating as if an invisible hand was clasping her throat.

"Does the baby belong only to me and not him? Does he not realize that the son is also his? Shen Zhiwei grieved.

"Are our lives so cheap and worthless?"

Joyful rays of sunlight from the bright blue skies outside sprinkled through the window into the room, yet Shen Zhiwei felt as if she had fallen off the edge of a cliff and plunged into a dark abyss so cold that her insides froze over, and she could hardly climb out.

The pain in her abdomen intensified, and she could only try to stretch herself to ease her discomfort as she inched closer towards Shen Rou.

"What are you waiting for? Just toss yourself off the ledge and be done with it! Isn't that what you're trying to do? To prove yourself innocent?"

"SHEN ZHIWEI! HOW DARE YOU..."

"What? I dare. You can just go off and die to become nothing but a heap of bones, while I shall remain the great and exalted Mrs. Bo—the envy and adoration of everyone."

Shen Zhiwei regarded Shen Rou with a cold smirk as she went on sneering,

"You reap what you sow. You being abducted and gang-raped... You're no better than your dearest mother. The homewrecker who forced herself into my home and destroyed my family... You got what you deserved..."

"ARRRGGGHH!"

Shen Rou grew livid as fury blazed in her eyes. She lunged toward Shen Zhiwei like a madwoman, yanking and tearing at her hair and banging her head on the ground with the ferocity of a raging beast.

Blood streamed down Shen Zhiwei's forehead and blurred her vision.

She wanted to fight back, but the urge to defend herself only worsened her dizziness the more she wished to get up, and before she could, she felt something tearing in her abdomen—the wound must have ripped open due to her vigorous movements.

In her pain, she could feel Shen Rou bending down to whisper in the cold—a faint and cold voice that only they could hear.

"I'm impressed, Shen Zhiwei. You really are the sister who grew up with me. You really saw through my ruse, didn't you? You knew I only wanted to torment you, so you served yourself up on a silver platter. But what do you hope to achieve? Look, I need only stand on the ledge of the balcony and Bo Yan would do anything for me. Anything. From now on, you're the one responsible for the string of misfortunes that had befallen me! Hahahahaha!"

Shen Zhiwei felt as if her head was going to burst, yet she managed to hiss through sheer will. "You'd be wise to keep him to watch over you forever... or else... Urgh!"

A foot slammed into her chest before she could finish.

She fell crashing back like a ragdoll.

Bo Yan withdrew his long, slender leg, and he bent down to lift Shen Rou up in his arms.

He murmured lovingly to her, "I should be the one to say sorry. I should have been there to protect you. Instead, I've married the one person responsible for all the pain that you've gone through!"

Saying nothing, Shen Rou dug herself into his chest, biting her lips as she sobbed.

Without even a look of concern for his wife, Bo Yan turned and steered Shen Rou away with him.

Shen Zhiwei watched him leave without even turning to look at her. Tasting the salt of her blood in her mouth and using her sleeves, she dabbed at the blood trickling out her mouth.

What a pair of flirts!

    For almost half a month, Shen Zhiwei laid in bed, resting at the hospital.While her husband cheated on her, and her family betrayed her.The nurses who watched her only felt pity, worried that she might crumble one day. Only, she did not. She prevailed persistently as if completely unfazed, visiting her son every day at the incubation ward.She gazed down at the wrinkled, rosy cheeks of her baby plumping out the gently. He was still very small, but she could see Bo Yan in him.Her lean, weakened fingers slowly and gently traced the smooth and limber skin of her precious baby boy's face...Motherly love permeated from her very being, her gaze filled with utmost adoration—she finally understood what it meant to be a mother.Watching him was enough; enough for her to feel that she owned the world."Grow up, my baby.

    The clock showed nearly 10 o'clock when Bo Yan finally reached his office.The hangover from the liquor he hag during his dinner at Shen Rou's place made his head throb painfully, and the only thing he found when he woke up was them both lying naked in bed.Shen Rou even snuggled closer to him, whining about how rough he was last night..."Your wife is inside, Mr. President," his assistant warned before he could push past his office doors.The mention of "your wife" only irritated Bo Yan, as if he had done something to her. But just as swiftly, the notion of what Shen Zhiwei had done to Shen Rou only made him growl."I'm not interested in seeing her. Send her on her way. And send my word: I want every department head now in the meeting room."The assistant nearly thought he had misheard Bo Yan, although he repeated everything in verbatim to Shen Zhiwei later.She only simpered faintly. Then she got up and sauntered out of the office, heading toward the meeting room, where she fl

But...""But I'm the one who's really been imprisoned all these years, in captivity for your torment for so many years?! Yet why are you the one feeling serene and calm?!"Even the request for divorce sounded like an act of generosity and charity on her part!"With his voice heard no more, the entire office became as silent and still as a crypt.Shen Zhiwei merely stopped in her tracks when he called. But hearing nothing further, she decided not to wait. She decided that waiting wouldn't change anything after all.She was hardly surprised to see Shen Rou when she swung open the door.But she trailed around her like a stranger and marched in long strides with a straight back as she left. "Finally, Bo Yan, I'm going to leave you...""Rumble..."A thunderclap resounded in the distance

    In the Four Seasons Hotel...There came sounds of running water from the bathroom.Shen Zhiwei was resting on the sofa. As it was near noon, after driving her to the hotel, Huo Jun ordered some food for her, but she carelessly spilled her soup on his suit. Thus, she had to let him use her bathroom.The sound of running water stopped.Huo Jun came out of the bathroom in a heavy bathrobe..."Are you done with the shower?"Shen Zhiwei glanced at him and handed him a shopping bag. "I told the hotel staff to get you a new suit. Put it on if you don't mind. I'm sorry for what happened."Huo Jun took the bag and replied with embarrassment, "It's all right, Miss Shen..."Before he could finish his words, a loud bang sounded.The door of the room was kicked open from the outside.Bo Yan strode in, only to see Shen Zhiwei, who sat on the sofa, and Huo Jun looking at each other affectionately. Anger immediately flared up in his eyes.From his perspective, the two seemed to be about to

    After they parted on bad terms that day, Bo Yan did not look for Shen Zhiwei even once.She did not come to him either.They reached an unprecedented deadlock.Shen Zhiwei had once decided that she would not give up regardless if he loved her or not. She believed that she could soften his heart little by little since life was long.She had even made up her mind that she would stick to him like glue for the rest of her life even if his attitude remained unchanged.However, she changed her mind, as she now was a mother. All she wanted was to live a peaceful life with her baby son, and whether he loved her or not did not matter anymore.But Bo Yan thought otherwise. He became increasingly uneasy as the deadlock continued, and he started to lose sleep. At first, he could not fall asleep until midnight; later, he was up all night, but the next day, he went to work looking as if nothing had happened.Nevertheless, the staff in his company found the ambiance suppressing.Shen Rou impl

    At the same time, Bo Yan was in his office, pruning an ornamental lace fern after having ended a business negotiation with a partner."Beep! Beep! Beep!"The cell phone on his desk rang suddenly.He glanced quickly and saw Shen Zhiwei's number on the screen."Wasn't she trying to look strong before?"She even looked at me like she was looking at filth!?"Yet she's calling me now?!"Bo Yan showed no intention of answering the call. His assistant merely stood dutifully to the side, quietly perplexed by his employer's apparent ignorance of the phone call while being slightly perturbed by the incessant ringing.A few raucous seconds ensued and Bo Yan's gaze wandered once more to his phone. He watered his plant, hoping to dispel the noise of the phone from his thoughts, but he couldn't. The veins on the back of his hand throbbed irritably and he could remain patient no longer. He snatched up his phone and listened, muttering harshly."What do you want...""Bzzzz...!"And all he g

    Bo Yan's mood hardly improved. Instead, he felt only stress and vexation after throwing away his phone in his rage. He stood there, motionless for seconds before he ambled to his phone and he picked it up. Recollecting himself, he calmed himself down as he dialed Shen Zhiwei's number.However, the line was engaged.But before he could become angrier, his assistant's phone began ringing.He watched the man muttering something quietly into his phone, only to look back at him, his face completely became pale with horror."President Bo, your wife and your son have been caught in an accident! Their lives are in danger! Huo Jun is rushing to the scene now..."Bo Yan felt himself shuddering at the news, and he quickly turned angry. "What did you say‽""That call just now from her... Was it because of this accident?!"Bo Yan felt his heart doing a backflip. He hurriedly grabbed his car keys and sped as quickly as he could to the scene of the crash.

    Bo Yan found a little path that led downhill, and he scrambled quickly down, forgetting his pride and dignity, until he reached the bottom of the cliff.What he saw made him freeze.Shen Zhiwei had never looked so horrifying to him before.There she was, bloody and broken, teetering on the edge of consciousness with a baby tightly nestled to her chest. Her eyes were wide and blank; the pupils swimming uncertainly in the whites like the dying flame of a candle still clinging on to its final bit of wick.Despite the warmth of the sunlight on his head, Bo Yan felt only the frigid coldness of despair."SHEN ZHIWEI! Hang on! You and the baby will be at the hospital in no time..."Bo Yan jerked himself from his brief stupor, breathing and heaving frantically, and he rushed to Shen Zhiwei, carrying her in his arms.He did not dare to speak too loudly.He had never felt so helpless before, and he could not even think—much less know what was spurting out of his mouth.He had never want

    At this time, Qi Mubai, who was standing at the door, also came in slowly. He looked at Bo Yan and said, "Young Master Bo, I'm sorry. I once doubted your love for her and thought you couldn't give her happiness. It's not until now that I know that her happiness can only be you!"Everyone in the ward looked at him. Qi Mubai laughed at himself and continued, "For so many years, I can't convince myself and feel that I still have a chance to win a little heart. Therefore, when Shanshan is headstrong, my selfishness has also made me waver. I did something I shouldn't have done with her. Sorry, I brought unnecessary harm to you. I apologize sincerely!Seeing your love for each other, I can leave or start my new life at ease!"After Qi Mubai finished speaking, he reached out hands to Shen Zhiwei and made a posture of hugging. Shen Zhiwei looked at Qi Mubai and then at Bo Yan. Bo Yan nodded to her and Weiwei hugged Qi Mubai with tears in her eyes."Thank you, Senior. How could I, Shen Zhiw

    Hu Jingshan's face turned red and pale. She was trembling with anger, but she couldn't say a word to refute Wang Dongjun.Shen Zhiwei frowned and looked at Wang Dongjun. She asked in confusion, "What do you mean, Dongjun? Is she not injured at all?"Wang Dongjun glanced at Hu Jingshan and deliberately said with his eyes fixed, "Miss Hu, give me a little explanation!"Hu Jingshan opened her mouth and faltered, but in the end, she turned into shouting, "Bastard, what are you doing? You don't know anything! Mind your own business, get lost!""I don't know. I saw you and Qi Mubai meeting in the cafe. You acted freely and didn't seem to be hurt at all!"Hearing this, Shen Zhiwei looked at Hu Jingshan in shock and shouted, "Hu Jingshan, tell me clearly. You didn't mean to frame me, and you pretended to be injured, did you? But how did you get the diagnosis from the hospital?"Shen Zhiwei suddenly had another question. "It's impossible for Hu Jingshan to buy a doctor soon!"Hu Jingshan

    Qi Mubai sighed and said, "Our Senior Brother and Sister are so miserable, but our beloved ones don't love themselves at all. It's really sad!""Senior, we need to work hard for our own happiness. We need to strive for some happiness. I hope you can also strive for your happiness. Don't let her become someone else's happiness!"Qi Mubai looked at Hu Jingshan and said after a long time, "I am different from you. You can do whatever you want, but I can't. I love her and don't want to hurt her. If she is really happy, I am willing to watch her be happy. And you only want to be happy. In fact, sometimes it is not happiness to get Shanshan, but to let her go!"Qi Mubai didn't know if he was persuading Hu Jingshan or himself. Anyway, what he said was more and more reasonable.Qi Mubai opened the door and turned back to ask Hu Jingshan, "If you don't leave, aren't you afraid that Shen Zhiwei will know about our relationship?""It's you who's afraid, I'm not afraid!" Hu Jingshan said as s

    Shen Zhiwei looked at Hu Jingshan, who was in the wheelchair. She tried to hold back the urge to speak several times, but she had to calm down and not provoke this crazy woman. Maybe she would do some other crazy things. Moreover, the situation of Bo Yan had not come to an end, so she had no mood to argue with her.Qi Mubai looked at Shen Zhiwei and said softly, "Don't be afraid. You still have me. It's okay!" As he said this, he reached out and tried to hold Shen Zhiwei, but Shen Zhiwei deftly leaned to one side and avoided him. Qi Mubai's hand stopped in the air awkwardly, and he could only pull back the corner of his mouth with a smile.Shen Zhiwei nodded and said to Qi Mubai, "Thank you, Senior Lu. Then I'll go out to watch Bo Yan." After that, she went straight out, ignoring Qi Mubai, whose face gradually turned ugly, and Hu Jingshan, whose face was full of resentment.Shen Zhiwei walked out of the office. Qi Mubai immediately closed the door before she could go far. He turned

    His words were full of sarcasm. "Miss Hu, Miss Shen is my boss's wife. It's my duty to protect her. You tell me, should I protect her? As for what you said, she is better than you. You know yourself well. Everyone in the world knows that Miss Shen is beautiful and kind. Unlike some women, her face looks good, but her viper heart is disgusting. Am I right?"Wang Wei's words provoked Hu Jingshan. She bit her wheelchair and walked toward Wang Wei. Wang Wei shouted, "Ugly woman, don't think that you'll have to spend the rest of your life taking advantage of other people's mistakes. President Bo owes your family a lot. He should have returned it. If you continue to do this, you'll be bullying others!"Shen Zhiwei had never known that there were other possibilities between them. Hearing Wang Wei's words, Shen Zhiwei stared at Hu Jingshan suspiciously. However, Hu Jingshan and Wang Wei's eyes were red with anxiety, and they had no time to care about Shen Zhiwei's reaction."Pay it back? It

    He just couldn't accept it! How could he accept it!The hospital had already prepared for Bo Yan. Qi Mubai had been escorting the party into the emergency room. Shen Zhiwei stumbled behind him, not knowing what to say.After the door closed, Shen Zhiwei's spirits were in turmoil. She had thought that she would be able to solve the problem between them without any worries. She had told herself that she would not feel pain once she felt pain. But why was she so nervous and heartbroken when she saw him faint from the injury?It turned out that he had been rooted in her blood and could not be pulled out so easily. Shen Zhiwei sat on the ground in low spirits, and the cold floor reminded her that the man was still in the rescue.Time passed by, and the door had been closed. Shen Zhiwei had been in a panic, as if she had a bad feeling. She called Wang Wei and said, "Assistant Wang, something happened to Yan!" After that, her tears blurred her eyes.Wang Wei was so frightened that he hun

    Through Shen Zhiwei, Bo Yan saw Qi Mubai behind her. Qi Mubai raised his hand to support his glasses on the bridge of his nose. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile. However, his mocking smile was deeply engraved in the bottom of Bo Yan, which made his heart hurt.He felt cold all over and clenched his knuckles. If possible, what he wanted to do most now was to go up and break this hypocritical bastard.Shen Zhiwei finally looked away from Duoduo and saw Bo Yan at the door. She was stunned, and then she glared at him with resentment and was about to close the door.Bo Yan stretched out his hand and held the door. He looked at Shen Zhiwei and said, "Come out. Let's talk for a while. It won't take you too long!"Her words were very sad, as if she had disturbed other people's happiness, but in fact, someone had disturbed his happiness with her!Shen Zhiwei said coldly, "We don't have much to say. Please go back, Young Master Bo!""You're not e

    Lu Mingyu frowned slightly and said incredulously, "You promised everything?"Bo Yan looked into the distance absent-mindedly, nodded, and said slowly, "Yes, I agree!""You... What do you want me to say about you?" After that, Lu Mingyu shouted at Bo Yan, "Go, if you don't go, I'm afraid someone will take the lead."Bo Yan was stunned, as if he understood what Lu Mingyu meant. Hurriedly, he held Duoduo and said to Lili, "Get in the car."The car sped to the detention center, but Bo Yan's heart beat faster. It was finally coming out. This matter had come to an end. It would be better to take it step by step in the future!On the way, Lu Mingyu was very quiet and watched Bo Yan from time to time. He knew Hu Jingshan's condition. If Bo Yan really agreed, it meant that after Shen Zhiwei came out, she could not live with Bo Yan. If that was the case, wouldn't it be good for Qi Mubai to take advantage of him?Lu Mingyu sighed and said, "Bo Yan, don't you think it's too coincidental tod

    "Dad, I'm sorry. We didn't call you in advance, so you're worried." Duoduo held his father's face with both hands and said guiltily.Seeing that Lili and Duoduo were safe, Lu Mingyu was relieved. But he still asked, "Lili, where did you take Duoduo today? We've searched the surroundings. How come you're nowhere to be found?"Lili looked at Bo Yan and Lu Mingyu with embarrassment and said, "Are we going to Brother Qi's place?""Qi Mubai?""Qi Mubai?"Both Bo Yan and Lu Mingyu asked at the same time, staring at Lili in surprise. Seeing their reactions, Lili couldn't help but nod and said naturally, "Yes, Dr. Qi, Qi Mubai. He has a good relationship with Weiwei. The place where we live is his house."Listening to Lili's words, Bo Yan gnashed his teeth in hatred. "Why did he suddenly let you go there?""I don't know either. He called and said he wanted to see Duoduo, and then he asked us to wait for him at the entrance of an alley. He came to pick us up."Lu Mingyu frowned tightly
