Chapter 7 - ~Go Away~
Qiao Xin stepped restlessly. She went into her apartment. When Qiao Xin opened the door, Qiao Xin immediately put the box that Qiao Xin had been carrying on the table. Then she sat down, covering her face with her hands. Qiao Xin was crying again. She never thought if this day would happen. At first, Qiao Xin thinking that has been every day, Qiao Xin was unlucky to have a toxic lover. But in fact, the hell was even more excruciating when her friend fired her. The company she had started from below. She never thought that her friend would sell himself to this lucrative business relationship. A decision that Qiao Xin knew if nothing lasted forever in this world. Even so-called sincere friendships could be bought for a few yuan bills. The thing that made Qiao Xin's heart cramped. She was disappointed, of course. She's hurt, moreover. But, she couldn't possibly tell her best friend directly. But later her best friend came and begged her to come back. Qiao Xin will never lower her pride again to come begging at that company again.
Not long after, she saw the knob of the apartment door turned. Then, her lover walked into the apartment with the strong smell of alcohol. Qiao Xin seemed to be cursing herself. After today's bad luck, why did she have to meet another?
"Qiao Xin, do you have any money? I need some money right now. I lost my gamble to that bastard, and I have to get my revenge on him," asked Jia Min.
Qiao Xin stood up from her seat, and she ignored Jia Min and was about to enter the bathroom. However, her hair was immediately forcibly pulled back, causing Qiao Xin to be in pain.
"I'm talking to you, Qiao Xin! Are you deaf or pretend not to hear me!" angry Jia Min again.
"Which money are you asking for, Jia Min? All my money has been spent on you! Then, which money you want to ask for again!" Qiao Xin snapped emotionally.
Feeling denied, Jia Min did not accept it. He immediately grabbed Qiao Xin's head and pulled Qiao Xin's body behind him until Qiao Xin fell perfectly on the floor. For a while, Jia Min grabbed his belt and wrapped it around his hand while occasionally slapping it on Qiao Xin's body.
"You know what the consequences are if you don't give money to me, Qiao Xin! I will spread our video to social media until everyone finds out that you are a cheap woman!" snapped Jia Min.
Qiao Xin was not strong enough with Jia Min's harsh treatment now tried to stand up, and her body was already bruised from Jia Min's whip. She was fed up with all the torture, pressure, and being taken like this by her lover.
"Enough! I'm tired. You can spread the video I don't care. Now we break up! We end this unhealthy relationship!" shouted Qiao Xin at last.
But, Jia Min looked even more furious. He immediately kicked Qiao Xin's body until Qiao Xin fell back down. Slap Qiao Xin and dragging her hair until Qiao Xin and Jia Min were inside the bathroom. He filled the bathtub full of water, then put Qiao Xin's head in the bath.
"Are you drunk, Qiao Xin! Awake it! Until whenever you will never be able to get out of my hands!" shouted Jia Min crazily.
Qiao Xin tried to release Jia Min's grip. Even now, her breath was already gasping because of what Jia Min was doing. Until then, Jia Min immediately pushed Qiao Xin's body until her head hit the wall. Fresh blood appeared from the wall. But Qiao Xin must try to leave so that she doesn't get killed by Jia Min here. It's better for her to die by suicide than for her to be killed by Jia Min.
"I've been fired from the office. And I don't have a penny of money. So, I can't take advantage of you anymore, Jia Min. So stop bothering me, we end!" the voice was hoarse. With the remaining strength, Qiao Xin tried to get up from her place. Ran with all his might out of the apartment staggering.
Her gaze was dark, and her eyes felt dizzy. People who saw Qiao Xin's state could only look at the woman anxiously.
Qiao Xin then stood on the edge of the bridge, her gaze now blank. She cried again, and she didn't know what was good or bad. She knew was, now that she was broke, and she was finished by circumstances. Even dying was probably the best thing she could do now. Slowly, Qiao Xin climbed on the bridge, and she looked at the river, which now seemed very calm. She then closed her eyes tightly. The faces of her mother and sister flashed in front of her with the best realism.
"Mother, I'm sorry. I can't be a good child to you," Qiao Xin cried. "Lulu, be a good daughter for our Mom. I'll leave our Mom with you."
On the other hand, Xiao Long looked annoyed. After he asked to be picked up by another car, how could it be the car had now stopped in such a lonely place. Just one of the tires is leaking. Meanwhile, the driver forgot to bring a spare tire.
"What's with today. Shouldn't today be my happy day? Damn it!" said Xiao Long, kicking his car tires.
"Young Master Han. I will go to the end of the road first to ask for help," said the driver, who immediately ran without warning. No taxis or vehicles were passing by. It was a dead road.
Xiao Long paced back and forth, trying to find a signal that didn't even exist at all. Until when he turned around, was about to look at the sky but he saw a human figure standing at the end of the bridge about to commit suicide.
Xiao Long looked shocked, he tried not to care, but it would disturb him. If the car still can't be repaired, he's bound to be caught in that ridiculous suicide case. And made Xiao Long inevitably run as hard as he could toward that figure.
"Hey, are you out of your mind! Stop doing that crazy thing!" shouted Xiao Long. His hand almost reached the figure's body, but the figure had already jumped. Xiao Long's gaze was blank. It was as if he had been pulled into the past. Then he thoughtlessly jumped into the river.
