Chapter 388: Dangerous rage (1)
When Pei Yuan didn’t speak anything further, Jinhai and Liu Hai knew that he had left. He achieved his purpose, so there was no need to stay any longer.
Liu Hai and Liang Zou finally sent all the guests back. They knew that Liu Corps and Jinhai would have to face heavy backslash tomorrow morning.
It was going to be a big mess.
There was heavy pressure and tension between Xiang Wei and Jinhai. They didn’t know what turn the relationship between their families would take now.
“Qingge, Huian, let’s go.” Xiang Wei said, “We have no reason to stay here anymore.”
Xiang Wei wasn’t in a state to think about what was right or wrong. Somewhere in his heart, he couldn’t help but agree with Jinhai, but on the other hand, his feelings and love as Huian’s father didn’t let him forgive him.
He could only see his daughter in that wretched vegetative state.
Everything was too much to handle, and he needed time to think through it properly.
Grandma Liu quickly said, “Wait. We can talk.”
Liu Chunhua got a headache too. Things were too complicated.
Chen Liling tugged Jianyu’s arm.
He faintly smiled, “Mom.”
“Jianyu…” she hesitated. “About Suyin…what do you…”
“Mom, I don’t feel anything for her. If you are worried about my feelings, then throw that out. I have moved on from Suyin.”
Chen Liling slowly nodded. She looked at Jinhai and sighed.
She understood where he was coming from but even for her, who didn’t like Suyin from the beginning and was naturally angry at her for trying to ruin Nana’s dignity; she still felt that Suyin’s fate was too harsh.
On the other side, Serena saw how distressed Nana was. She was sure that Suyin’s truth had affected her.
Liang Xiao Dan pursed her lips and placed her hand on her shoulder. “Nana…”
“Mom, give the twins to me. I-it’s time to feed them.”
Nana was expressionless. She just wanted to be out of here.
She placed Jian and Nian in the stroller. Jinhai caught her arm and said, “Nana, p-please, don’t be mad at me. Can we talk?”
Nana blankly stood in her place for a few moments.
Jinhai felt that same fear and dread creeping in his heart that he had on the beach when Nana walked away from him. The same fear arose in his chest once again that Nana was leaving him behind forever.
That gap between them, which was slowly starting to mend, was widening even further as if a deep crack akin to a valley had formed between them.
Nana slowly shook his hand off and quietly walked away, wheeling the stroller.
“Nana-“
Serena came in between and stopped him. “Wait, Liu Jinhai. Let me go after her.”
“No, I-I have to go after her. She is-“
Serena cut him off. “Please give her some time. Right now, she doesn’t want to see you. I will check on her.”
Jinhai said nothing, but he looked awfully stressed out.
She glanced at Jianyu once and left after Nana.
—
In the ladies’ room, Nana gasped sharply as she finally collapsed on her knees beside the stroller.
She was trembling. She didn’t know what to think about, and she didn’t know what to feel. She just sat there, devoid of any thoughts.
Tears slowly began to pool in her eyes.
“Babaaaa…”
“Abooo….”
Jian and Nian restlessly moved in the stroller. They felt their mother’s unease and distress.
Nana covered her mouth and broke out into soft sobs.
The images of those men raping Suyin hovered endlessly in her mind. The cries and screams of Suyin resounded in her ears as if someone was continuously hammering her.
“Ugh!”
Nana covered her ears, but she could still hear them. She wanted it to stop, but it didn’t.
“Boss, she is pregnant.”
“Tang Suyin died after three back to back abortions.”
Nana tremblingly stood up, went near the washbasin and puked.
What Suyin suffered was so cruel that since the moment she saw the video, she felt her throat gag. She felt nauseated.
So cruel…
The only person that she blamed for Suyin’s death was herself. Because of her, because Jinhai wanted to take revenge for her, he forced that horrible torture on Suyin.
Rape everyday…Getting pregnant and then abortions…
Nana puked once again. Her forehead was covered in sweat.
“Nana?” Serena came inside and saw how Nana was vomiting her guts out.
“Nana!” she rushed over to her. She patted her back to calm her down.
“Nana, you look so pale. W-wait. Here, drink some water.”
Serena brought a glass of water, but Nana rejected it.
“Nana…” Serena felt torn to see Nana in such a state. She knew that she must be blaming herself.
“Nana, whatever it was, please, please don’t blame yourself.”
Nana looked up at Serena and burst into tears. She rushed to hug her and broke down as tears came rolling down her cheeks.
Serena immediately hugged her back and couldn’t help but cry as well.
“Serena…Serena…it’s all my fault. Suyin died such a horrible death only because of me…I-I am responsible for what happened to her…”
“Are you an idiot, Nana? How is it your fault? You didn’t do anything wrong. Did you forget how you were the victim?”
Nana sobbed. “But I didn’t wish for her to pay for her mistakes like that! She already faced her retribution. Then why…why did Jinhai do that…?”
Nana wailed like a child. Her heart was in a mess.
“Why does he always hurt me? Why does he always lie to me? Why…I thought I could forgive Jinhai to what he did to me in the banquet, but how can I forgive him for losing his humanity! I thought we can get back together…my heart was willing to give him another chance, but this…why does he always put me in a place where I have to walk away from him? It hurts so much, Serena…It hurts to be away from him, but he leaves me no choice…”
Serena bit her lips hard and cried.
“How can he do that…”
“Now its too late, you bitch!”
Nana and Serena startled as they heard an angry voice.
They turned and looked aghast.
Tang Ning had entered the ladies’ room, glaring at Nana with hatred.
