Chapter 958 - 1001: The Grand Wedding
Listening to her accusations, I just found it extremely laughable! I never loved her, so how could Anxin have stolen me away?
At first, my feelings for her were merely possessiveness. Even if we hadn’t broken up, the day Anxin appeared, we would still come to an end, and there would still be no result! She just happened to appear in my life a few years earlier than Anxin!
Love never follows a sequence of arrival, especially since he didn’t marry her nor had any relationship with her. I have no basic responsibility towards her!
If I were married, I wouldn’t even glance at another woman. I would fulfill the duties and responsibilities of being a husband.
However, if I’m not married, when emotions and feelings arise, I would still resolutely choose to break up with her.
During the year I spent with her, I still didn’t fall in love with her. But after marrying Anxin, I was able to clearly distinguish my feelings for Anxin from those for her.
So, regarding Ruan Zhitong’s accusations, I just find them very laughable. I don’t even want to say any more words to her, because her thoughts have become completely twisted. It’s just a waste of effort to speak to her.
Soon after, Ye Shan, Mu Rufeng, and his mother were also brought here by my men.
If it weren’t for Anxin’s plea, and Mu Rufeng actually didn’t mistreat Anxin during this period, nor did he do anything to Anxin, I would heed Anxin’s advice and let them go. They are forbidden from setting foot in Jin City for the rest of their lives.
As for Ye Shan, my tolerance for this man has reached its limit.
Previously, if it weren’t for his twenty years of nurturing Anxin, he wouldn’t be alive today! Even when he sold out my mother-in-law and Anxin for five million last time, I still took no action against him but let him leave with five million.
I thought he would never come back in this lifetime, and Anxin and my mother-in-law would be freed.
Unexpectedly, he not only returned but also had the audacity to harm Anxin alongside Ruan Zhitong.
Since he’s back so ignorantly to court death, I’ll give him a hand.
Mu Rufeng and his mother have been sent away; Ye Shan has been dealt with, leaving only Ruan Zhitong.
I must admit, Ruan Zhitong is very clever. Before we and Anxin returned, she poisoned all the servants at home and used Anxin’s weakness to escape smoothly.
Later, she called Anxin, telling her she’s been giving Xiao Bai ********, and if she wants to save Xiao Bai, she must go to the rooftop of Blue Sky Building to find her.
I never believed she poisoned Xiao Bai because although I always had doubts about her identity, I never revealed any flaw. She couldn’t have known beforehand that we were already suspicious of her.
However, to reassure Anxin, we took Xiao Bai to the hospital for a blood test, and the results showed Xiao Bai was indeed not poisoned; everything was normal.
Even though Xiao Bai’s checkup was normal, Anxin volunteered to catch Ruan Zhitong and bring her out, saying she would go to Blue Sky Building to meet Ruan Zhitong.
I strongly opposed it at the time, but Anxin was determined, so I had no choice but to agree to let her take the risk. However, I would take all safety measures to ensure she wasn’t harmed by Ruan Zhitong again.
Three days later, Anxin arrived right on time. To prevent Ruan Zhitong from noticing anything, Anxin went downtown and specially hailed a cab to Blue Sky Building.
However, Ruan Zhitong was far more cunning than we imagined. She had already guessed everything, knew my men were ambushed around the rooftop of Blue Sky Building, so she didn’t show up, but instead had Anxin go from the second-floor rooftop to the South Building of Blue Sky Building.
When my men followed to find Anxin, Anxin was already doused with gasoline.
It turned out, the purpose of Ruan Zhitong’s meeting with Anxin this time was not to do anything to Anxin, but she had long planned to perish together with Anxin, destroying both jade and stone.
When I arrived, Ruan Zhitong asked me if I ever loved her; my answer was straightforward, no.
She then asked if I loved her eleven years ago; my answer was still no.
Watching her heartbroken and incredulous expression, I felt nothing at all! In fact, no means no, I wouldn’t deliberately say comforting words because of pity for her or sympathy.
Perhaps my words were too stimulating for her, awakening the kind-hearted Ruan Zhitong buried deep in her subconscious.
At the final critical moment, the kind side lurking within her defeated the evil side. Finally, before everyone’s eyes, she ignited the gasoline on herself, burning alive in front of us.
Though I cannot forgive everything Ruan Zhitong did, I also know that everything she did was beyond her control; she was merely a victim.
So, in the end, I didn’t annihilate the Ruan Family. I left them a way out, regardless of their fate in the future, I would not interfere.
As for Ruan Zhitong’s corpse, I had Pete cremate it, then sent her ashes back to her family, which was the only thing I could do for her in the end.
After Ruan Zhitong’s death, our lives finally returned to peace.
A long time ago, I wanted to give Anxin a grand and unforgettable wedding, so I started preparing our unique wedding rings early on.
Back then, to find that unique pair of rings, I searched nearly every jewelry store in Jin City but found none to my satisfaction. In the end, I had Yan Qinghan find her friend to design them according to my requirements.
The design drafts were revised time and again, yet I was never satisfied.
Due to my dissatisfaction, the wedding rings were delayed repeatedly, and it was only after resolving Ruan Zhitong’s issue that the design was finalized.
However, although the rings were designed, they still needed some time to be crafted.
To ensure the rings were perfect, without any flaws, I didn’t urge them to rush production but had them take their time.
Time slowly passed, and after nearly two months, the rings were finally completed. Looking at the unique pair in the box, I was very satisfied, and began fantasizing about how Anxin would look wearing this ring.
Once the rings were finished, I started planning the wedding quietly.
To make the wedding extraordinary, I didn’t choose a hotel or church for the venue but a large grass field. I also chose a special date for our wedding, the ninth day of September, representing longevity.
As the wedding day approached and to surprise Anxin, nearly everyone knew I was planning a grand wedding for her, and I had prepared everything in advance! So Anxin remained unaware.
