My life is ending, and my aloof CEO wife is taking revenge on me.

Chapter 205 Conditions

I made my demands on the Dong family without any hesitation.

"First, the Dong family must ensure Lin Qiuran's safety. If anything happens to Lin Qiuran in the future, I will hold your Dong family responsible."

Old Master Dong was so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring, but he still hesitated to say anything.

Even knowing that they were wary of Song Yafei, I didn't care.

As long as they stop harming Lin Qiuran, it doesn't matter who they fear.

"Then your Dong family must clarify the rumors circulating online."

"And Miss Dong must personally explain everything. Lin Qiuran did not interfere in her marriage, and you must apologize to him."

This alone caused Ms. Dong's mother's expression to change. "How dare you ask us, the Dong family, to apologize to a man who is about to die!"

But as soon as she opened her mouth, she was met with a glare from Song Yafei.

Since no one in charge has spoken, I naturally won't pay attention to a woman's vain words.

He then made his final request.

“You must compensate Lin Qiuran and his family. You must compensate him for the damage to his reputation and for the shock he caused his family.”

Money wasn't a big deal for the Dong family, but Miss Dong's mother found it hard to accept.

She argued, "I know my daughter gave him a substantial sum of money before the wedding, and you want more? Are you extorting me now?"

blackmail?

If what I did is extortion, then what were the things they did to Lin Qiuran?

We didn't value money that much, but the damage has already been done, and I must make some compensation to Lin Qiuran.

"The previous payment was Miss Dong's compensation for Lin Qiuran's injured arm. Now that he's almost dead, doesn't he deserve this compensation?"

"A young man who just wanted to live a good life has had his reputation and life ruined by you. Is this all the compensation you ask for? Can't your Dong family afford it?"

Mrs. Dong wanted to argue further, but unexpectedly, Miss Dong barged in.

"I'll give you whatever you want!"

I didn't expect Ms. Dong to appear at this time, nor did I expect her to be in such a sorry state. I wonder what she has been through.

She was wearing a red toasting dress, presumably prepared for today, though it was somewhat dirty and disheveled.

Even her hair was messy, lacking her usual elegance, and she looked quite disheveled.

If you didn't know her, who would recognize that this was the precious and noble Miss Dong from the Dong family?

The Dong family was quite surprised by her appearance. Xu Sanshao immediately got up to greet her and spoke to her softly, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you were tired?"

Even though Xu Sanshao spoke kindly, Miss Dong still didn't give him a friendly look.

This made the three members of the Dong family furious. When Madam Dong stepped forward to pull the person away, Miss Dong dodged her.

She came to the head table and solemnly said, "I want to reiterate once again that Lin Qiuran has never done anything to me, let alone intended to ruin my marriage."

"From the very beginning, it was all wishful thinking on my part; he didn't even like me."

After saying these words, Miss Dong's eyes lost their light, and she looked withered and lifeless, devoid of any vitality.

Perhaps she finally realized, and had to accept, the reality that Lin Qiuran didn't like her.

There's also the fact that she caused her beloved to fall into a coma, and perhaps never wake up again.

Feelings are always mutual; it is meaningless if only one party likes or gives.

Madam Dong immediately grabbed Miss Dong's hand, angry at her lack of self-control, but also heartbroken by her appearance.

"What nonsense are you spouting? If these words get out, how will you face anyone!"

It was then that Xu Sanshao stepped forward. He came to Miss Dong's side and looked at her with eyes full of tenderness.

"It's okay, Mom, I don't mind."

The words of comfort only provoked Miss Dong's dissatisfaction. With red eyes, she roared, not only at Young Master Xu, but also at everyone in the Dong family.

"You may not care, but I do!"

“I told you from the beginning that I don’t want an arranged marriage, so why are you forcing me?”

“If you hadn’t forced me, I wouldn’t have taken such a risk, and none of this would have happened.”

"I just want to pursue my own feelings like a normal girl, what's wrong with that!"

It's clear that Ms. Dong is in great pain; she's expressing her grievances, but I don't know if her family will be moved by her words.

But at least, I was moved by it.

When wealthy families arrange marriages for the benefit of both families, it is often the women who suffer the most in the end.

Miss Dong was right not to want to accept this arrangement, but she had no power to resist it.

The failure of the first marriage destined the second to be her final fate.

Fortunately, this young master Xu seemed to have feelings for Miss Dong as well.

If they can achieve a good outcome, it will be some consolation.

I sighed softly, unsure whether to lament the injustice done to Miss Dong or my own lack of choice.

"What, you can't bear it?"

Song Yafei lowered her voice and teased me, trying to make me feel more relaxed, but it wasn't that easy.

"Don't you know how?"

She looked at Miss Dong and nodded. "Of course. But as Miss Dong, she has been living a life of luxury since childhood, which was brought to her by the Dong family. When she grows up, she must repay the Dong family. That's the rule of the game."

“I reminded her that if she could create enough value, maybe she could do whatever she wanted.”

Since Miss Dong brought little value to the Dong family, marriage was the only way for her to repay them.

With Ms. Dong present, all the conditions I proposed were easily met.

Ms. Dong transferred three percent of her shares in the Dong Group to Lin Qiuran.

In addition, some of her real estate properties were also transferred to Lin Qiuran in front of us.

After achieving our goal, Song Yafei and I left.

I stopped in front of Miss Dong.

Even though I sympathize with Ms. Dong, I know that she has no choice in the matter.

But I also cannot forgive Lin Qiuran for being hurt because of her.

"Please, Miss Dong, never appear in front of Lin Qiuran again. Remember, all you've brought him is disaster!"

I couldn't help but warn her.

I didn't look at her, but I caught a glimpse of her reddened eyes out of the corner of my eye, which I couldn't ignore.

On the way back, I rode in Song Yafei's car with her.

She rested her head on my shoulder, and I looked out the window, somewhat absentmindedly.

I only snapped out of my daze when she called me. "What did you say?"

Song Yafei stared at me, as if to make sure I had heard her.

After staring at me for a while, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

I shook my head, my mind a jumbled mess, not knowing what I was thinking.

"Zhang Tian, ​​do you regret your decision today?"
