Chapter 2168: Irreconcilable Contradictions

Considering these things, Su Kexuan changed her mind.

She said indifferently, "They wanted to get to know the Li Family but had no way in, so I gave them a pointer, doing a favor that cost me nothing."

This reason was flawless.

It could just happen to shut Jiang Mobai up.

If Jiang Mobai didn't believe her and kept asking...

Su Kexuan would stick to this reason and not let go.

Then she would give him the cold shoulder.

Here, Su Kexuan secretly prepared her retreat.

But Jiang Mobai did not press the matter.

He said very calmly, "Regardless, I thank you."

"... No need to thank me, my original intention wasn't to help you."

"Then what about the child that was aborted, what is that about?"

Jiang Mobai changed the subject very abruptly.

Su Kexuan was completely unprepared!

She was terrified!

With a flick of her fingers, the lunchbox in her hand fell to the ground.

"Clang—"

The sound of the object hitting the ground seemed to be amplified infinitely in an instant.

Su Kexuan's complexion turned ugly once again.

She lowered her eyes and feigned composure: "What child? I don't know what you're talking about!"

"No, you know what I'm talking about."

Jiang Mobai's breathing became rapid.

He moved closer to Su Kexuan, gripped her arm, and asked urgently, "That was my child, right?"

"No!!!"

"I want to know the truth, stop lying to me!"

Su Kexuan forcefully shook off Jiang Mobai's hand and shouted at him as if she had lost control: "Why should I tell you just because you want to know!?"

"Then you at least have to let me die knowing the truth! Su Kexuan, what exactly are you hiding from me!?"

Su Kexuan's lips moved.

But no sound came out.

After a long while, she suddenly gave a bleak smile and nodded slowly.

"These years, it's been quite tiring carrying everything on my own. Fine, since you want to know... I'll tell you!"

Su Kexuan closed her eyes.

When she opened them again, she told Jiang Mobai about a cruel past:

"After the misunderstanding at the bar, I gave up on you."

"But after living abroad for only a month, I discovered... I was pregnant."

"At that time, I didn't dare tell my family, and I didn't have any trustworthy friends around me. In a panic, I went to look for you."

Jiang Mobai interrupted her: "Look for me? But you didn't..."

"I did go to look for you, you just didn't know it. At the time, you already had a girlfriend; you were kissing in public at a dance, your smiles arrogant."

At that time, Jiang Mobai chose to indulge himself because he was heartbroken.

He changed girlfriends as often as he changed clothes.

He also didn't know that the girl in his heart had once hidden in a corner, watching his debauchery...

Jiang Mobai's hands and feet were cold.

Even breathing became a struggle.

Su Kexuan lowered her eyes and continued, "After I went back, I went to a private clinic alone. The day of the surgery, it rained, and I lay on the operating table alone, so cold, so very cold..."

That was a nightmare.

Even now, Su Kexuan is occasionally startled awake in the middle of the night.

And then she spends the night sleepless.

And her numb description deeply stung Jiang Mobai.

He hated himself for having done such a bastardly thing.

He also hated himself for missing out on Su Kexuan.

Thinking of Su Kexuan having to face all this alone, his heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife!

But all he could do was offer a pale apology: "I'm sorry..."

Su Kexuan did not need his apology.

She said, "What did you do wrong? It was I who misunderstood you back then, and it was also I... who decided to give up our child."

They were both too young back then.

When their passion was deep, they didn't know how to protect themselves.

And they were even less capable of bearing the arrival of a new life.

All Su Kexuan could do was silently send that child away.

And then seal up her own heart.

Sometimes she would wonder, would that child blame her?

You gave him the chance to be born, yet you buried him with your own hands...

Thinking of this, Su Kexuan's tears flowed down uncontrollably.

Raising her hand to wipe them away forcefully, she said to Jiang Mobai expressionlessly, "You should know by now that we can't go back to the past."

The day Su Kexuan decided to have the abortion, the possibility between the two of them was severed.

Knowing the cause and effect, how could Jiang Mobai have the face to pursue Su Kexuan again?

He only felt ashamed beyond words!

And deep remorse!

Jiang Mobai looked at Su Kexuan deeply again and asked, "Tell me, how can I make it up to you?"

"I don't need your compensation; I want to never see you again."

"... Alright, you also promise me that you will be well from now on."

"Mm."

Having obtained Su Kexuan's promise, Jiang Mobai stood up and left the Hospital.

Jiang Mobai's footsteps felt as if they were filled with lead.

His chest felt chilly, with coldness constantly emerging from within.

And the only thing he could think of at this moment was...

Drinking.

Jiang Mobai drove to a bar.

Alone in a private room, he waved his arm and ordered the amount of alcohol needed for a party.

Once the alcohol was delivered, he began drinking it like water.

This way of drinking made the waiter's scalp tingle.

To avoid any trouble, the waiter sought out Young Master Zhou: "Young Master Zhou, your friend is in 304, and he's drinking until he's almost finished!"

Young Master Zhou said impatiently, "I have tons of friends, who is it?"

"The one who fought with you!"

The waiter's reminder was simple and concise.

Yet it made Young Master Zhou's eyelids twitch.

His body leaned back involuntarily, and then he became even more impatient: "If he wants to drink, let him drink; as long as he pays, it's fine."

"But he's alone, and he ordered a round of foreign liquor, beer, and white liquor. I remember the last customer who drank like this ended up with alcohol poisoning!"

Mentioning that ruthless person, Young Master Zhou had an impression.

That person not only had alcohol poisoning but also a stomach hemorrhage.

In the end, he was sent to the Hospital and even extorted a sum of money from the bar.

Jiang Mobai couldn't exactly extort money.

But if he really drank himself into trouble in the bar...

The price Young Master Zhou would have to pay would definitely not be measurable by money!

Young Master Zhou closed his eyes, thinking that sooner or later he would put this troublesome guy on the blacklist and not allow him to come again!

After grumbling silently for a while, Young Master Zhou still went over.

But just as he opened the door to the private room, Young Master Zhou felt his eyes being stung by the smell of alcohol!

Waving his hand through the air in front of him, Young Master Zhou held his breath and walked into the room.

Before he had taken two steps, he knocked over a pile of empty bottles.

The "clattering" sound was very annoying to hear.

But these bottles were just the tip of the iceberg.

Not far away, there was another large pile!

Seeing the number of those bottles, Young Master Zhou was also rattled.

He furrowed his brows and said, "My God, you drank all this by yourself? Aren't you afraid of drinking yourself to death!"

Jiang Mobai struggled to lift his eyelids.

Seeing it was an acquaintance, he patted the sofa and said incoherently, "Sit over here, let's drink together."

Young Master Zhou did indeed walk over.

But he didn't drink with Jiang Mobai; instead, he took the bottle out of his hand.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"You can't drink anymore. If you really drink yourself into a bad state, I'll be killed by your family!"

Jiang Mobai "tsk-ed" at this, and then said, "If you don't let me drink, I'll just go somewhere else in a while!"
