Chapter 146: The Woman You Don’t Want to Meet Again
Riina hadn’t expected this from Asher, the cigarette in her hand had fallen to the floor and gone out, her stunning features surprisingly tangled together in a tangle from the choking sensation, and a few drops of sweat left on her forehead.
“Asher,” Lena spoke with difficulty, “aren’t you afraid of retribution for what you’ve done?”
“It’s you who’s going to get what’s coming to you!” Asher replied through gritted teeth.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Heh, you’re wrong, the Ri family won’t let you off the hook if you kill me, you know exactly what Grandpa Jun will think in your heart, and by that time, the media will definitely step through your family’s doorstep.” Riina was about to pass out with a breath when Asher’s hand gradually loosened.
Regaining air, Rina rushed to protect her neck with her hands and ran to the side, gulping in fresh air, a hint of red gradually appearing on her pale face as she stared at Asher with resentment and a vaguely frantic look on her face.
“Asher, think about what I said to you.” Riina didn’t dare to stay any longer, she was afraid that the furious Asher might do something out of the ordinary in the meantime, and hastily left off her words and rushed away.
Asher, the president of the Sakura Shang Group, a man known as a genius on the world capital, the last psychological defense, was finally completely destroyed by Riina.
Asher finally crossed back into that bar, he until he shouldn’t get hooked on something like alcohol, but the burden of his heart was too heavy for him to lust for narcotics.
“Nangong asked, do you think I should go get Mia back .” Asher slurred his words as he sat eastward at the bar with the cocktail in his hand.
Nangong asked, picking up Asher, who was drunk and stumbling around, and snatched the cocktail bottle out of his hand, “You should drink less! Look at you, how drunk you’ve become!”
Asher snatched back the bottle, “What am I drunk? I’m not drunk!”
Nangong asked defiantly, snatching back the bottle and tossing it aside with a loud pop, spilling the colorful cocktail inside all over the floor, and a few timid women shrieked a few times.
“What are you doing?” Asher looked at the shards of broken glass on the floor and frowned in displeasure.
“You can’t drink any more.” Nangong asked in a stern warning voice.
“I don’t want to keep drinking either, she told me that drinking is bad for your health, but I just can’t stop.” This she naturally means Mia.
“Then why do you want another drink?” Nangong asked.
“Why? Bitterness in the heart.” Asher showed his vulnerable side in a rare moment.
“Why is it bitter?” Nangong asked, continuing to pursue the question.
“Because of that wicked woman Riina … Because of her, Mia is far away from me …” Asher lowered his head bitterly, and suddenly he looked up sharply, his eyes shining with a hopeful The light: “Namgung asked, you know where she is right? Tell me, where is Mia?!”
“I… I don’t know.” Nangong asked, remembering what Mia had instructed him to say earlier, and denied it.
“You must know! Take me! Take me to her!” Asher growled, and the entire bar looked in their direction.
“I really don’t know.” Nangong asked, frowning.
“You know, you must know, take me to her, please.” Asher mumbled, while slowly lowering his head and collapsing drunkenly on the bar of the bar.
Namgung asked and shook Asher’s shoulder, Asher didn’t move and appeared to be completely drunk.
Nangong asked, shaking his head and sighing, pulling out his car keys, helping Asher up and heading out.
Mia sat alone on the couch and stared, her eyes were red and she had obviously just finished crying.
There was a knock on the door and Mia looked sluggishly to the door, standing up numbly and going forward to answer it.
“It’s you, Nangong asked.” After a brief greeting, Mia hugged the pillow and slowly walked back to the couch and continued to fret.
“Why are you still in this state?” Nangong asked worriedly, coming over and sitting down beside her? and asking in a soft voice, “Are you still thinking about him?”
“Miss him? Why?” Mia sneered, the upward curvature of her mouth was chilling to look at, “Even if we loved each other as much as we did, he’s already found a new girlfriend and dumped me aside, he’s probably forgotten about me as a person, so why would I miss him?”
Seeing Mia in this state, Nangong asked with a deep sigh before speaking, “I saw him at the bar today.”
Mia turned her head, a flicker of hope in her clear pupils, but it was short-lived.
“He got drunk for you.” Nangong asked slowly. At the same time, his heart was doing an extremely complicated mental struggle: I love her, he loves her, and only one of us can get her. Telling the truth will definitely bring Mia back to his side, and won’t I be left alone again in silence and loneliness? This is a great time.
“For me?” Mia asked.
Mia waited for a while, and when she saw that he still had no response, she stretched out her long fingers and gently tugged the corner of Nangong’s shirt.
“Oh, yeah, for you.” Nangong asked as if he had made some decision, and his good-looking eyes darkened.
“No way. He’s living happily now with his new girlfriend, that Lina. Kids too, and the two are re-engaged. Why would he even go and get himself drunk for me? I’m just an ordinary, passing visitor in his life who stayed for just that little while.” Mia said in disappointment.
“No, he told me everything today.” The light in Nangong’s eyes asked reappeared, but this time, it was the kind of light that a big brother has for his little sister with affection.
Nangong asked as she slowly recounted what happened, Mia listened and shed two lines of tears as she murmured, “Why did she do that, Leena, why did you do that on purpose? Just to be with Asher? Or to figure out his share of the family fortune.”
After Nangong asked finished speaking, he slowly sighed and said, “I’ll leave for today, you can think about it yourself.” After saying that, he stood up and slowly walked out of the door.
After closing the door, Nangong asked, leaning on the back of the door and exhaling gently, he couldn’t be such an evil person who picked up the bargain for nothing after all, they were the pair made in heaven, and he could only wish them happiness.
Mia looked at the distant back of Nangong asked, mixed feelings in her heart, slowly picked up the phone from the table, hesitantly opened the phone book, find Asher’s name, but the hand has been on that dialing key eat eat not press.
Mia couldn’t forget, couldn’t forget the ambiguous photos, knew they were fake, but her heart was never taken over by reason, anger, grief came up again, Mia couldn’t control her emotions anymore, started bawling, looked especially desolate in the empty room.
When the tears dried up, the truth that Nangong asked told echoed in her head again, perhaps, it was really because she was too impulsive and childish, now Mia was conflicted and chilled, the whole person had gone to the edge of collapse, just a little more small blow could knock her whole person into pieces.
I picked up the phone that I had just tossed aside, closed the phone book, and somehow by mistake clicked on the photo album, and all the previous photos flashed out at once, the Asher in the photo was so handsome and sunny, and the Mia in the photo was also so beautiful, so happy, and so charming.
Mia silently mused, why can’t we go back to the old days when we were so happy and joyful, why should we be like this now, one running to the bar every day, career disregarded, family disregarded, buying drinks every day; one crying at home every day with a headache, delirious, life becoming a mess. The previous scene flashed before her eyes, the more she thought about it, the sadder and more heartbreaking, tears not only came out again, she felt that if she continued to cry like this, her heart would be broken.
Mia always shut herself in the door of her room, sad and in tears alone, a matter that although Nangong asked not to say, he knew in his heart, he was actually more torn than Mia during this time, unable to decide whether to continue to care for her by himself or to go to Asher so that Mia could see his true heart.
He listened to Mia’s faint sobs in the room and made up his mind to help Asher out.
Now Mia doesn’t want to see Asher, and doesn’t even want to hear any more news about Asher. Every time Nangong Man mentions him Mia gets red-eyed and goes back to her room and cries under the covers, causing Nangong Man not only to not dare to mention Asher himself, but also to instruct the servants and others that no one is allowed to discuss it.
But this time, Nangong asked knocked on the door of Mia’s room and tricked Mia against her own heart, “Mia , you haven’t even gone out shopping for a long time, let’s go out for a stroll.”
Mia, who was slumped against the side of the bed shaking her head, said in a tired and indifferent tone, “No, if you’re bored take a walk, you’re taking care of everything at Mouthhorn, aren’t you, how’s it going?”
Like Asher, Mia didn’t have the heart to take care of the company; Nangong asked if he could barely see much of anyone lately except to take care of her, so it was obvious that the company should be keeping him busy.
Nangong asked hesitantly for a moment and said, “There’s no problem with the company, it’s just a bit busy with too many things lately.”
Mia raised an eyebrow at him, “The company has always worked just fine on its own, what’s keeping you so busy?”
Nangong asked the question in such a way that Mia’s heart instantly seized: “The last incident has caused problems within the Sakura Shang Group, you know, a damaged reputation is not a small thing for a group, and Asher has been doing nothing at all lately, not taking care of their company at all, causing most of Sakura Shang’s outlying groups to go out of business, and all the families are taking advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. “
