Chapter 258: Perishing Together (Part 2)

The provincial city on a rainy night was somewhat noisy.

The heavy rain poured down, the rooftop was dimly lit, there were no pedestrians on the street, and no one noticed them.

Li Jiahang’s figure tilted backward, very dangerously.

But he clenched his teeth, unwilling to beg for mercy, seeming to have become a warrior already prepared to die generously for love, looking at Liu Ruoxin, who was nervous, “Xinxin, I ask you one last time, I can die for you, are you willing to be with me?”

This question, akin to a farewell, made Liu Ruoxin tense.

She absolutely did not want this in her heart, but she had to keep up appearances on the surface.

After all, human life is of utmost importance.

Especially since it was Old Liu who was tightly gripping Li Jiahang’s collar.

If he were to commit suicide, it wouldn’t matter much.

But once it involved her father, if they couldn’t clear their names at the police station and were convicted, the consequences would be dire.

“I see your love, can you come back up first…”

When Liu Ruoxin said such words, she still appeared innocent, forever cherishing Li Jiahang in her heart, just like the first time they met.

His heart softened a bit, and his breathing wasn’t as rough as before.

But.

Old Liu disagreed.

“Love?”

Old Liu raised his other hand and punched Li Jiahang’s stomach hard, “Idiot, I don’t have time to play this drama with you! I’m telling you clearly, my daughter has never loved you! You know, including you coming to my company, all of this was my arrangement, even your first meeting and her smiles and kindness towards you! Now that I’m telling you, it doesn’t matter, I originally wanted that scoundrel Zhao Qingfeng to join, but somehow, he lost his mind and went back to the county to do clothing business. Otherwise, do you think my outstanding daughter is someone anyone can just meet? Look at yourself, what do you look like, what’s your status! If it wasn’t for thinking you could make me money, with your status and appearance, you’re not even worthy to lick the bottom of my daughter’s shoes, yet you dare to delude yourself here!”

No need to say it clearer.

Even someone with a low EQ could understand what was going on.

A million complex emotions surged through Li Jiahang’s heart at once.

Regret, pain, sorrow, and recalling the ambiguous words Liu Ruoxin once said to him, all of it finally converged into two words in his mind—-despair!

But…

He still loved her.

Even knowing her previous actions were fake, his burning love was real!

It’s all Old Liu’s fault!

It must be him!

Xinxin is still young, only 19 years old.

The culprit of all this must be her profit-seeking father!

If he is around for one more day, Xinxin’s future won’t be good.

She might be educated to be worse, becoming even more cold-blooded and ruthless!

No.

Thinking this, Li Jiahang suddenly conceived a perfect idea in his mind!

He wanted not only to die for love.

But also to perish together with Old Liu!

“Liu Zhiqiang! You destroyed my love, I want you to be buried with me!”

A roar came from his already hoarse throat, his arms, previously hanging down, were simultaneously raised.

He grabbed Liu Zhiqiang’s neck with one hand, leveraging his strength to pull down.

The rain made everything slippery.

Liu Zhiqiang was still maintaining a threatening posture, and if Li Jiahang hadn’t resisted, he could have completely controlled the situation.

But not anymore.

Li Jiahang used all his strength to pull, and as Lao Liu’s center of gravity shifted, he slipped, and they both were about to fall several meters down to the concrete ground.

“Dad, be careful!”
