The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex

“Yixuan…” Xia Yuwei said after he flung her arm away and pouted her red lips, as though he had wronged her. She blinked her watery eyes at him, and tears looked like they were about to form in her eyes.

However, this tactic no longer worked on this man and when he looked at her pitiful face, he only felt annoyed.

Xia Yuwei felt as though someone had poured a pail of cold water all over her. This man’s coldness made her feel like she had descended into an ice cave.

“Tell me! Who is Cheng Tao and who is he to you?” That man’s icy cold voice rang out abruptly and he looked angrily at her.

Xia Yuwei’s eyes immediately widened in shock and disbelief, and all sorts of expressions flashed past her face, as though someone had dug out her deepest secret.

“Who are you talking about? I don’t know him?” she said as she clutched the corner of her clothes, but she awkwardly took a few steps backward, which was a sign of her guilt.

“You don’t know him?” Mo Yixuan’s lips curled coldly and he scoffed. His hand reached out, carving an arc in the air before he suddenly grabbed at her collar.

“If you don’t know him, why did you make multiple transfers to his account? If you don’t know him, what are you afraid of?” The veins on Mo Yixuan’s arms popped out and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like he wanted to tear this woman who was full of lies into pieces.

Xia Yuwei felt her body grow cold. The moment he said Cheng Tao’s name, she grew so nervous that she thought her heart was about to burst out of her chest. She reached out to grab the man’s hand but she could not escape from his grip.

Impossible! Impossible!

There was no way he would know about those things.

She kept repeating those words to herself and forced herself to stay calm.

“He…” She frowned in hesitation, then immediately put on a pitiful expression and she continued forlornly, “He is my senior at school and is also my friend. I was often bullied while I was at school, but thankfully, he came to help me and even got beaten up because of me. He wanted to open a health club this year and requested to borrow some money because he didn’t have enough. I was still grateful to him because of what he had done for me in the past and therefore, I lent him the money. I’m sorry Yixuan, for not discussing this with you earlier.”

Xia Yuwei cried as though she were nursing a huge grievance. She knew that he had checked up on her credit card expenses but she didn’t expect him to trace her expenses all the way to Cheng Tao.

Mo Yixuan scoffed and let go off her collar. Then, he immediately gripped her pointy chin and forced her to look up at him.

Their gaze met, his eyes were extremely angry while she looked extremely aggrieved.

“Is that really it?” Mo Yixuan said coldly as he drew closer to her. His face was extremely dark and his eyes were so angry that it looked like he could kill her.

Xia Yuwei closed her eyes in fear.

“It is all true, Yixuan. If you don’t believe me, I can arrange a meeting between Cheng Tao and yourself.”

Smack

After she finished speaking, she received a hard slap on her face. He had slapped her extremely hard and Xia Yuwei fell on the floor from the force, her ears still buzzing.

“Ah!”

She screamed as she touched her burning face. She looked in shock at her own husband.

Mo Yixuan bent down and his face was now pale from rage. He reached out to grab her collar once again, his eyes dark and thunderous.

“Do you think I’m dumb? You transferred money to this man on three occasions and each time, the money was transferred to a different account. Furthermore, on the day we met one year ago, Cheng Tao was sitting in the car that almost collided into mine. You must have colluded with him to plan this car accident, right?”
