Chapter 222 Lei Heng's Angry Rebuttal
Time slips away quietly in the foreign breeze, soothing the wounds but also lengthening the longing.
Meanwhile, back home, Jiang Ye's sudden disappearance stirred up an unquenchable storm.
The scene shifts back to China, to Hanju.
The night sky over Genting Town has just experienced an unprecedented and dazzling spectacle.
That multi-million dollar, spectacular fireworks show that stunned the entire city burst into the night sky, illuminating the whole town and the astonished faces of countless tourists.
However, Xia Yu, who was nominally the female lead in this fireworks show, stood alone on the highest observation deck in the town.
A night breeze blew by, bringing a touch of early autumn chill.
Xia Yu stared blankly up at the dissipating smoke in the sky, completely broken down like a puppet whose soul had been drained.
Tears, like a burst dam, gushed from her eyes, washing away her exquisite makeup.
"Jiang Ye...where are you...?"
Xia Yu's voice trembled, filled with a heart-wrenching despair.
She finally saw her own heart clearly, and finally realized just how precious a man she had lost.
The man who once rode his beat-up motorcycle and stood up for her when she was most helpless, sheltering her from the wind and rain.
The man who could casually throw away billions of dollars and present the entire Cloud Top Town to her just to make her smile.
The man who had eyes for her, yet she pushed him away with her own hands!
Xia Yu regrets it!
The intestines are all regretful!
In this materialistic society, she foolishly doubted Jiang Ye for the sake of so-called power and to climb to a higher position, and even betrayed Jiang Ye's trust at a crucial moment!
Now, she has achieved the position she had always dreamed of, becoming the top person in charge of Cloudtop Town and a highly sought-after businesswoman in Hanzhou's business world.
But so what?
Without that man's sharing, all this glory and wealth became nothing more than a pile of meaningless waste paper!
The clown is me!
This most popular internet meme couldn't be more fitting when applied to Xia Yu right now.
She frantically pulled out her phone and dialed Jiang Ye's number over and over again.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."
The cold, mechanical female voice was like a series of sharp knives, stabbing deeply into Xia Yu's heart.
She is not reconciled!
She absolutely cannot lose Jiang Ye like this!
Xia Yu acted like a madwoman, using every connection she could muster.
She called Jiang Ye's former cronies, various executives at Kunlun Capital, and even hired a private investigator at great expense to conduct a thorough search throughout the city.
However, Jiang Ye seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace whatsoever.
All the clues have gone cold.
With nowhere else to turn, Xia Yu could only place her last hope on Lei Heng.
She understood that Lei Heng was Jiang Ye's most trusted confidant and the current de facto leader of Kunlun Capital. If there was anyone in the world who knew Jiang Ye's whereabouts, that person was undoubtedly Lei Heng!
Xia Yu drove through the night, speeding all the way to the headquarters building of Kunlun Capital.
However, Lei Heng refused to see her.
The security guard at the front desk stood like an iron wall blocking the doorway, coldly telling her that General Manager Lei was in a meeting and did not see any visitors.
Xia Yu did not give up.
She was like a stubborn madwoman, stubbornly guarding the gates of Kunlun Capital.
We waited from day to night, from sunny days to rainy days.
The cold rain soaked her expensive business suit, ruined her makeup, and made her look disheveled, bearing no resemblance to a beautiful CEO.
Finally, after waiting anxiously for three days and three nights...
A black Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly drove out of the underground parking garage and stopped at the entrance of the building.
The car window rolled down, revealing Lei Heng's expressionless face.
"Mr. Lei! Mr. Lei, wait a minute!"
Xia Yu, as if grasping at the last straw, rushed forward recklessly and clung tightly to the window of the Rolls-Royce.
"President Xia, please have some self-respect." Lei Heng frowned, his tone as cold as ice.
"Lei Heng, I beg you, please tell me where Jiang Ye is, okay? I really can't live without him! I beg you!" Xia Yu cried, tears streaming down her face, pleading without any dignity.
Lei Heng looked at the woman who had once been high and mighty, without a trace of pity in his eyes.
He strictly followed the orders Jiang Ye had given him before leaving, avoiding Xia Yu and refusing to reveal a single word.
"President Xia, Chairman Jiang's whereabouts are top company secret. I cannot disclose that information. Please let go, I'm going back," Lei Heng said coldly, making a move to roll up the car window.
"Why?!"
Xia Yu gripped the edge of the car window tightly, her knuckles turning white, and she screamed in despair.
"Why did it turn out like this?! We clearly have feelings for each other! He clearly has feelings for me! Why is there a misunderstanding? Why can't we sit down and talk things out?!"
Xia Yu felt extremely uncomfortable; the pain, as if a thousand ants were gnawing at her heart, made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Upon hearing Xia Yu's hysterical questioning, Lei Heng's previously calm face suddenly flashed with barely suppressed anger.
He suddenly pushed open the car door, his tall figure stepping out of the car and looking down at Xia Yu.
"Misunderstand?"
Lei Heng sneered, his voice so loud it sounded like a roar.
"Xia Yu, you call your selfishness and ambition a misunderstanding?!"
"You keep saying there's something between you two, so why don't you try to see things from Chairman Jiang's perspective?!"
Every word Lei Heng uttered was like a heavy hammer blow, striking Xia Yu's soul with devastating force.
"Don't you know what Chairman Jiang went through? He was utterly heartbroken by that gold-digging Shen Qinghan, and became a laughingstock in the entire Hanzhou business community! He finally managed to get over that painful relationship, and finally mustered the courage to walk towards you with such joy!"
"But what about you?!"
Lei Heng pointed at Xia Yu's nose, his eyes filled with contempt and anger.
"How did you treat him behind his back in order to keep your lousy director position and climb the ladder? You suspected him, you were wary of him, and you even tacitly approved of others suppressing him at the board meeting!"
"Chairman Jiang offered you his sincere heart, but you thought it wasn't worth enough and trampled it into the mud!"
"Now that Chairman Jiang is gone, what are you doing here pretending to be so sentimental? Acting out some dramatic 'chasing-after-her-husband' scenario? Xia Yu, don't you think you're ridiculous?!"
Lei Heng's words were like a thousand arrows piercing his heart!
Xia Yu was struck dumb, her face turning deathly pale, devoid of any color.
She stared blankly at Lei Heng, her lips trembling violently, but she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
Yes.
Lei Heng is right.
What misunderstanding is there?
It was all her own choice, and she only has herself to blame!
It was her greed, her vanity, and her selfishness that destroyed what could have been a beautiful relationship!
Xia Yu covered her face.
Her eyes welled up with tears.
Lei Heng glanced coldly at Xia Yu, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, and without saying another word, he turned around, got into the Rolls-Royce, and told the driver to drive.
The black luxury car sped away into the rain, leaving Xia Yu alone on the cold street, tasting the bitter fruit of her own actions.
