Chapter 41: Mo Weian's pride, her savior

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Ningyan glanced at Mo Weian, who was standing beside her. "You're colleagues, so you must have a lot to talk about. I'm leaving now. Don't even think about running away. You can't escape." She gave Xia Weiyang a mocking smile before leaving.

"Xia Weiyang..." Mo Weian said as she looked straight into Xia Weiyang's eyes.

Whoosh.

Xia Weiyang opened her eyes and stared at her former good friend and colleague. "Don't think of me as your friend anymore."

"I know you hate me." Mo Weian no longer pretended that she was innocent. "But please, just hear what I have to say."

"You were a part of what happened to Su Anqing that day, right?" Suddenly, Xia Weiyang changed the topic and asked.

Mo Weian raised her eyebrows and didn't deny it.

"Yes. Xia Weiyang, did you know? I always thought that our lives are the same because of our low-level salaries. You should be content with living a normal life. But you're not. You went after both Lu Ziyin and Shi Jue."

"Did you know that I felt really jealous after I saw you wearing Shi Ya's clothes? I wanted to rip them off your body."

Suddenly, Mo Weian smiled. Her face lit up with her bright smile.

She then bent over to approach Xia Weiyang. "Actually, Su Anqing had nothing to do with what happened to you that night. It was actually me. I did it!" Mo Weian said.

"What? Why did you do it?" Xia Weiyang asked with a shaky voice.

"You see, I didn't like your clothes, so I decided to destroy them. Also, I've been jealous of you and Lu Ziyin. I've always wanted to steal him away from you," Mo Weian said with a smirk on her face.

Mo Weian laughed loudly as she left the hotel room. She left Xia Weiyang struggling on her own on the floor.

Lying on the ground, Xia Weiyang looked at the lamp above her head. Her eyes were expressionless.

Time passed slowly inside the room.

Then, just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard a loud sound.

Bang!

The room's door was kicked open.

Shi Jue, whose entire body was emitting a powerful aura, walked in with large strides. His face was gloomy.

Behind him were his bodyguards all dressed in black. They fiercely blocked the reporters who were trying to get inside the room.

Xia Weiyang's face lit up as she looked at her savior.

At that moment, she could not help but admire Shi Jue's appearance.

Shi Jue looked like a true hero as he stood in front of the room's doorway. His powerful aura made it seemed like he could do anything he wanted.

Shi Jue looked around the room as he walked in. His face turned dark after seeing the messy bed in front of him. Then, he noticed that Xia Weiyang was staring at him while she was lying on the floor.

After seeing Xia Weiyang's excited and bright gaze, Shi Jue felt that his heart was extremely elated at that moment. It was as if he had finally met the woman he loved after being separated from one another for a long time.

Shi Jue bent down to gently untie the ropes that were constricting Xia Weiyang's body. He noticed that she had a lot of bruises on her body because of how tight the ropes were tied. His heart ached as he imagined the ordeal that Xia Weiyang went through.

Seeing Xia Weiyang's pale face and exhausted expression deeply saddened Shi Jue.

"It's great that you came," Xia Weiyang opened her cracked lips and said in a weak voice.

"Don't speak now. Save your energy." It was rare for Shi Jue to speak in such a gentle tone.

"Thank you." Xia Weiyang's tone was sincere. As soon as she finished speaking, she snuggled into Shi Jue's arms.

Her entire body was limp and she did not have any strength left. It was better to leave the task of walking to him.

Shi Jue's face was tense as he tightly embraced Xia Weiyang. His deep eyes were emitting a cold light as he strode towards the door.

"Click! Click!"

Dozens of cameras sounded as they snapped photos of Shi Jue and Xia Weiyang.
