Chapter 175: I Really Love You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tong Jia was frightened by Han Xu’s paranoia and threats. She had already started her life anew; why couldn’t he leave her alone? Why did he have to threaten her like this?

Shen Qingyue sensed her trembling and held her hand, offering comfort.

Feeling Shen Qingyue’s reassurance, Tong Jia quickly calmed down. Her eyes became resolute, she released Shen Qingyue’s hand, moved her wheelchair forward, and stopped in front of Han Xu.

Han Xu stared firmly at Tong Jia. When she approached, he thought she had given in, and a smile appeared on his face.

However, there was a sharp sound, and Han Xu’s face twisted to the side from a slap.

Trembling, Tong Jia’s voice reached his ears, “Han Xu, you manipulated my father into gambling, forcing him to jump into the sea. Because of you, my beloved left me, and I can no longer paint. You’ve completely destroyed my life! And now, you still want to harm my stepmother? I’ll tell you, in the past, I was weak and didn’t dare confront you. But you persistently pursued me, and I won’t be timid anymore! Even if I have to fight to the death, I will expose you completely!”

Han Xu heard the hatred in her voice, looking bewildered. “When did I harm you? Your father gambled because of his own weaknesses; it has nothing to do with me. And that man, how am I responsible for his choices? Are his actions my fault? Did he treat you better than I did? I provided you with the biggest house, the most expensive clothes, and the most meticulous love…”

Tong Jia suddenly laughed, “You’ve been so good to me… Even these injuries are your gifts.”

Han Xu’s eyes flickered, “I didn’t know you were Wanzhe… It wasn’t my intention. If I had known, how could I possibly hurt you?” He could be ruthless to everyone, but he could never bring himself to hurt her.

Tong Jia struggled to calm the surging emotions within her. “You’re always like this, so self-righteous! Do you know what happened? To punish me, you locked me in the attic of the seaside villa. There was a fire, and I almost died in the flames! My hand was crippled because of you, my face was ruined because of you, my father died because of you, and my lover left because of you. And now you’ve broken several of my ribs, threatening me with my stepmother. You really excel at tormenting me,” her words dripped with sarcasm.

If she hadn’t jumped into the sea that day, more than just her face and upper body might have been destroyed. So her face was not due to excessive plastic surgery, but rather scar repair. She just did not have the money, and the burns were severe, so this was the best repair she could afford.

Before meeting Han Xu, she was the youngest and most promising young artist. She had a loving father, a devoted boyfriend, and a bright future.

Now, she had nothing.

When he mentioned the past, Han Xu’s heart ached. “Wanzhe, I admit I wronged you before, but I promise such things won’t happen again. Please come back, okay?”

The once arrogant man knelt half-heartedly on the ground, his eyes filled with supplication.

Tong Jia remained unmoved. How could she forgive him? She wished he were dead, or better yet, never born! She absolutely loathed him. “Han Xu, no matter what you do, I’ll expose everything, no matter who you’ve bribed or how you threaten me. I will bring this to an end!”

Han Xu heard the determination in her words and panicked. “Please stop, come back with me! I was wrong before, I’ll give you whatever you want, I’ll compensate you… I’ve done terrible things, but I truly love you…” He reached out to grab Tong Jia’s hand.

Shen Qingyue acted swiftly, pulling Tong Jia’s wheelchair away.

Han Xu missed Tong Jia’s hand and, already unsteady, fell to the ground, looking utterly disheveled.

Zhou Sui helped him up, wanting to say something. He opened his mouth but did not know what to say. He knew Han Xu had a secret lover girl, and he adored her to no end.

Zhou Sui had only seen pictures of her, especially when she went missing, and he helped in the search. So he always thought they liked each other. Who would have thought it would turn out like this? If he had known, he would not have helped at all. This was beyond cruel.

However, Zhou Sui had never seen Han Xu in such a pitiful state. As his friend, he felt like he should feel sorry for him. But he could not muster an ounce of pity.. After all, compared to what Tong Wanzhe had suffered, what Han Xu went through was nothing!
