Chapter 316: Cruel Domestic Violence Doesn't Stop
Zhao Linlang has been particularly courteous and flattering to his wife recently, just because she said that it was not even interesting to eat alone every day, he asked her to come over for lunch near the company, but he didn't expect to give Fang Ruoning a "chance".
The billion-dollar sum was still in Rachel's hands, and he was in a hurry to get his hands on it, but he couldn't be too direct, so he had to use this emotional offensive to achieve his goal.
After meeting with the two shareholders of the Huo family in private, on the way home, he saw a flower shop and bought a bouquet of flowers to take home.
When he got home, at eight o'clock in the evening, he thought that the woman should be sitting in the living room watching TV as usual, but he didn't want to, and when he opened the door, the room was pitch black.
A thought crossed her mind for a moment, could it be that she went out? casually pressed the switch and was about to change his shoes at the entrance, but the moment the lights turned on, he was so frightened that his heart shook and he was stunned by the scene in the living room!
Rachel sat on the sofa in the living room, the modern, simple and stylish living room was in shambles, with a lot of messy fabrics covering the carpet and sofa, and some packaging bags were cut and smashed and thrown all over the floor.
His eyes swept across the living room in horror, and he carefully restrained his breathing, not even having time to change his shoes, walked over and put the bouquet on the coffee table, half-squatted and half-knelt in front of the woman, and held her hand.
The woman came through the door and remained motionless, as if in a steady, and when she looked closely, she found that she must have cried, and her eyes were still a little red.
"My dear...... What's wrong? You okay? Holding his wife's hand and clenching it slowly, he asked gently and carefully.
Rachel slowly rolled her eyes and fell, her gaze resting on the man in front of her.
She was still silent, but her gaze was a little more turbulent than just now, and she stared at the man for a moment, as if she didn't know him, and looked at him carefully.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Zhao Linlang felt inexplicably uneasy, and his eyes were weak and he didn't dare to face her, so he moved away and looked at the fabrics lying on the sofa and carpet.
When he grabbed it, he realized that they were all newly bought clothes, and he hadn't even removed the tags.
"Honey, what's wrong? Isn't that one of your favorite brands? Why...... All cut? "The clothes that were destroyed were all from a high-end Italian brand, and each one was worth a few months' wages of ordinary people, but in this way, they were all destroyed without even removing the tags.
He licked his lips, realizing that the woman must have known something, and became more and more cautious.
The scissors fell to the ground, and he found them as he pulled the fabrics, picked them up without a trace, got up and hid somewhere else.
Turning back again, he hesitated and bent down in front of the woman, holding her body with one hand and the other through her knee, intending to carry her back to the room.
However, before he could get up hard, the woman who had been silent suddenly became embarrassed, and raised her hand to slap him in the face.
With a "snap", Zhao Linlang was a little confused, his handsome face turned his head to look at her in disbelief, gritted his teeth faintly and endured it, and squatted down in front of her again, "Honey, what did I do wrong to make you angry?" Can you tell me about it? β
Rachel's beautiful ice-blue eyes began to gather tears again, and her eyes condensed on his face again through the tears, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she asked aggrievedly: "Geller, why did you marry me?" Why are you with me? β
The man laughed, held her hand, squatted in front of her and looked up: "Fool, why do you say that?" Because I love you, of course! You are my angel, and I have been fascinated by you since the day I saw you, before you knew me. β
"So, you abandoned your girlfriend and even pretended to be dead, and then approached me as another person?"
With a shock in his heart, even all the emotions in his eyes and face stopped in an instant, Zhao Linlang stared at her for a few seconds, and suddenly there was an indulgence that he couldn't hide anymore, and asked lightly: "Who came to look for you?" β
"It doesn't matter, what matters is, do you love me or not, what is the reason why you are close to me? Just because I'm the daughter of the Griffith family, because my family is powerful, right? Rachel asked sadly disappointed.
Zhao Linlang secretly clenched his fists, in fact, he didn't expect to be able to hide these things all the time, but at least he had to hide them for the past few days, and let him get the money in his hands.
Now it seems that I am afraid that something is going to happen......
And who looked for her, don't think about it, Huo Lingxiao must have secretly sent someone to find her.
Since Zhao Linlang listened to Feng Xuejing's words that day, he decided in his heart that Fang Ruoning must still love him, so she would definitely not be so ruthless to him.
It must be Huo Lingxiao, Huo Lingxiao wants to defeat him, so that he can keep the Huo family and Ruoning.
In the continuous silence and depression, Zhao Linlang struggled to digest all kinds of emotions in his heart, and the murderous aura in his eyes was like a sharp blade cutting through the stagnant air.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Rachel's expression was gloomy and cold, and her heart was even more sad, even if he explained, as long as he explained, she would believe it.
For half a day, she sat at home and thought a lot, unwilling to admit that the happiness and joy of the past few years have been in the mirror, but now, the man's attitude says it all.
Her heart was like ashes, and her tears were like bursting embankments, and she rose in embarrassment in the silence of the man.
"Where are you going?" Zhao Linlang finally spoke and asked in a dumb voice.
"Don't worry about it, I know you like that woman, you have a picture of her hidden in your wallet, and you don't love me at all...... You're just using me......"
As soon as this sentence came out, Zhao Linlang instinctively thought of the billion dollars again.
There is only one last step left for him to succeed, and he must not fall short at this time.
Taking a hard breath, he stood up as if helpless and sad, took the woman's hand, turned her around, and slowly hugged her into his arms.
"Fool, you believe everyone else's words, but don't you believe your own husband's words?" The woman in his arms resisted and refused, but he hugged her tightly and did not let go.
"I admit that I do have some past, I was in love with that woman, but one thing you are wrong, I am close to you only because of your simplicity and beauty, because of your heart-warming smile like an angel - although your legs are a little disabled, but your heart is still so beautiful, you are still so enthusiastic about life, I follow you every day, watch you go to the library, go swimming, feed the stray cats at regular intervals every day, and even when they are sick or one is missing, you are so worried and anxious that you will not hesitate to look for them in the face of the storm- My dear, I handed you an umbrella, you must not remember, do you? Because your eyes were all about stray cats......"
Zhao Linlang started the tender offensive again.
No matter how much the woman in his arms resisted, he just didn't let go, his mouth was unhurried, and he told the story of the two of them when they were still at the University of St. Andrews, telling the story of when she didn't know him as a person and he had begun to pay silently.
Rachel resisted, never giving in, but despite the fact that her hands were still pushing and flapping, although the tears had flowed like a river, and although she had been telling herself not to believe his nonsense anymore, her subconscious was still shaken.
She waited for an afternoon, just waiting for his explanation, even if she continued to deceive, as long as she could fool her, it didn't matter......
And now all of what he says is true, all true!
This man, indeed, noticed it very early, perhaps, he really fell in love with him, but because she was the daughter of the Griffith family, it was the icing on the cake for him......
"You say I'm with you for your family, to take advantage of you, but when I was in St Andrews, I didn't even know who you were, and you didn't even notice me, so how could I take advantage of you? Beloved, this is God's will, it is God who allows us to meet and love each otherβdear, haven't you always wanted to have a baby? Soon, when I acquired Huo's and when my career stabilized, we would have a baby, no...... You like babies, we can have more, okay? β
The woman in her arms may be tired, or she may have compromised, but in short, the movements of resistance are getting weaker and weaker, until they disappear completely.
Zhao Linlang let go of her, held her face with both hands, and pressed his forehead against her, "I love you, you can't doubt me, everything I do is to make our future better, believe me, believe me, okay?" β
The woman burst into tears, although she did not reject his contact, but her eyes refused to look, and she asked lightly with her eyelashes: "But you have always treasured her photo, and you still meet her......"
"The photo has already been burned in front of you, have you forgotten? What are you still thinking about now? As for meeting her, believe me, it's just a work contact, but soon, when I buy Huo's, I'll lay off all of them. That woman betrayed me early, she's four or five years old with that man's children, she's betrayed me a long time ago, you understand? I kept her picture just to tell myself that there was a woman who looked down on me and hurt me like that, and I swore that I would get ahead! Now, I'm one step away from success, and I'm going to let them all know who really is strong! β
Rachel stopped talking, her eyes fixed on him, as if pondering the truth of his words.
Zhao Linlang's heart was so frightened that he almost couldn't lie, but fortunately, he was calm enough and his brain reacted faster.
Seeing that the woman was motionless, he hugged her tightly again, and stroked the back of her head with his palm, as if to soothe the frightened little girl: "My dear, you believe me, I will always love you, although I didn't know your identity when I approached you, but it is undeniable that my success over the years is inseparable from the help of you and your family, but I want to fly higher, but this does not mean that I will break away from your family, just like a kite, no matter how high I fly, the rope is also in your hand." My dear, I will never escape the palm of your hand. β
Rachel was held tightly by him, still like a rag doll, and did not react much.
Zhao Linlang let her go again, gently wiped away her tears, and teased her dotingly: "Okay, don't cry, you have to believe in your husband, not the enemy." β
"Can I really continue to believe you?" The woman asked sneeringly.
"Of course!"
"Okay, I believe you, but I can't give you that billion dollars." Rachel suddenly took the initiative to mention the billion-dollar thing.
Zhao Linlang's expression that had just relaxed instantly froze, and the smile on his face was frozen before it even expanded, but it was only for a moment, and he returned to normal again, and asked puzzledly: "Can you tell me why?" In fact, I also met with several shareholders of the Huo family this afternoon and expressed my friendly sincerity, and they were all impressed, and now as long as the funds are in placeβ"
"Geller, I believe you love me, but I can't accept staying here with you, I want you to come back to New York with me - if you find it inconvenient to do things in my family, I can fully support you in starting your own business, but not here."
Zhao Linlang just thought that he had convinced her, but now he understands that so many words just now, full of emotion and superb acting skills, are all in vain!
His hands swept helplessly in the air, his face full of puzzlement and displeasure, "Why? This is my hometown, I want to stay here, besides, if I go back to New York, the whole Wall Street is the world of your Griffith family, how can I open up my own business? β
"However, if you stay here, your identity may be exposed before you buy the Huo family - that Huo Lingxiao, he is trying every means to prove your identity, Geller, I can't let you have an accident, we must get out of here as soon as possible, and when we get to New York, they can't do anything to you." Rachel grabbed his arm anxiously and stared at him bitterly.
"They can't help me! Do you know who your husband is? They don't deserve to fight me! β
"No, I'm not worried, the safest thing to do is for us to get out of here and go back to New York! Back to Wall Street! β
The woman took his hand and began to get excited again, "Geller, you said you love me and do everything for my good, then you go back with me, I just want you to go back with me!" Do you hear it, you hear it! β
With the woman's gradual loss of control and hysterical persecution, Zhao Linlang's emotions that he had endured for a long time finally couldn't help but gradually collapse, his arm raised and instinctively wanted to get rid of the woman's restraints, but the other party had fallen into a state of inextricability, he suddenly gritted his teeth, and a wave of anger surged, and his palm had already shaken her off with a conditioned reflex before the brain gave the command, and then, the slap fell, the force was so great that the woman's entire body was spun and fell on the sofa.
"Ahh
Zhao Linlang's whole person was burned by anger and anger, his eyes were gloomy and blood-red as if he had gone mad, staring at the woman on the sofa who was convulsing in pain, and issued an ultimatum: "What I want to do, no one can stop it!" The billion dollars, you have to give it, you have to give it, you have to give it if you don't give it! β
