Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 380: What Wrong Did He Ever Do in This Life?

Chapter 380: Chapter 380: What Wrong Did He Ever Do in This Life?

Jiang Chengxu no longer had the possibility to do anything with Manman; he used every means to torture Manman until she was covered in wounds, constantly begging for mercy.

Jiang Chengxu finally experienced a little bit of the pleasure of being human.

As night fell, he sat by the window, watching the flickering lights outside. The hanging sky was like black velvet, with a few stars competing to twinkle.

So clean, so bright.

At his feet lay the equally wretched Manman.

Blood spread across the floor.

The starlight shivered at the window, not daring to come in. In the dim night, all that could be seen was Manman’s body slightly heaving with her difficult breaths, proving she was still alive.

No amount of "hate" could express the feelings in their hearts at this moment!

"Die with me, will you?" Jiang Chengxu leaned down, gripping Manman’s chin with his twisted, deformed hand. As his ghostly face approached, Manman woke from a nightmare.

"Ah!" She screamed, the terror in her eyes pleased Jiang Chengxu, "No, don’t come near me!"

Manman wanted to move, but her entire body was paralyzed with pain.

"Not come over? How can we be husband and wife if I don’t come over?" Jiang Chengxu cursed, "Bitch, is this what you want? So many men in the world, why did you fixate on me? You even dared to set fire to me. Xu Manman, run, run, why couldn’t you escape from my grasp?"

He laughed eerily, like a vulture, terrifying to the extreme!

"Brother Chengxu, don’t be like this, it wasn’t me who set the fire, it wasn’t me. I know nothing about it. When I woke up, I was already at the foot of the mountain. I heard someone set you on fire. I didn’t dare to go back.

I was wrong, I was really wrong, the one I like is you! Brother Chengxu, please let me go!" Manman knew that falling into his hands meant a fate worse than death.

"Just kill me, Brother Chengxu!"

"No one believes that I liked her. I liked her, I dreamed of marrying her, Xu Manman, it was you, you two bitches caused me to lose her, you deserve to die!"

Jiang Chengxu became agitated, "Let you go? Dream on, I won’t let you go, I won’t let you go, I will drag you to hell with me!"

He became agitated, flailing his arms uncontrollably, and suddenly collided with a table, the remaining nerves only bringing him pain. He immediately curled up, hugging his twisted arm, inhaling in pain.

The candle on the table rolled off, igniting Manman’s clothes. She screamed in pain, desperately crying and rolling.

Jiang Chengxu looked as if watching a wonderful puppet show, laughing eerily as he kicked the candle on the floor towards Manman. The extinguished candle fell directly onto Manman’s hair.

Her hair, not washed for months and full of greasy dirt, quickly caught fire. She screamed, shaking her head, as flames spread along the curtains.

The dim room was illuminated by firelight, wind blowing in from outside, the flames burning, leaping in the dark night, chasing freedom.

Jiang Chengxu watched the dancing Flame Elf, his eyes reflecting two bright flames, a smile slowly spreading across his face.

What wrongs has he committed in his life?

His only mistake was not pushing Manman away from the start, but he never had any inappropriate thoughts towards Manman. His heart was solely set on marrying Xu Qinghuan.

This single mistake pushed him into an abyss.

Thus, he hated Xu Qinghuan for abandoning him. He once thought of making her turn back, wanting to punish her, but he had long lost all strength in this entanglement with Manman.

Manman was still crawling out, terrified.

It was as if she returned to that night, standing on the cliff far from the Shangjiang Team, watching the flames at the youth point climb higher, imagining how Jiang Chengxu and Qu Qiongfang struggled inside, how did they die?

This time, it was her turn.

"Brother Chengxu, run, run! You’ll be burned to death!"

She rammed her head against the tightly closed door, her burned scalp in such pain it made her feel worse than death, but she still wanted to escape, not wanting to be burned to death, not wanting to be smashed by the collapsing beams, nor to be burned into a figure more terrifying than a ghost like Jiang Chengxu.

Jiang Chengxu, however, hadn’t snapped back, still staring exhilaratedly at the firelight, seemingly seeing the moment when he was once engaged to Xu Qinghuan, though she too was happy then.

"When I got engaged to Jiang Chengxu, it wasn’t for anything else, it was thinking of breaking away from the Xu Family, and once I had a family, I’d have some capital to compete with Song Wanlin."

Xu Qinghuan hugged Jiang Xingye from behind, "Aye, don’t be angry, do you know how hard you are to coax when you’re angry!"

She was about twenty centimeters shorter than Jiang Xingye, slightly bending, her face could only rest on his shoulder blade, a bit hard even while Jiang Xingye held back his back.

He subconsciously didn’t want to show her his hard side.

He pressed his lips, eventually speaking in a muffled voice, "I’m not angry."

He indeed had no right to be angry. When they got engaged, he didn’t even know Xu Qinghuan existed.

But he was a little angry, angry at the heavens for sending Xu Qinghuan so late.

"Aye, you see, I’ve never been angry with you. When I came to the Shangjiang Team, I put in so much effort to catch up with you. One morning, when I blocked your tractor, you were fierce with me, fierce in front of so many people, and I thought, this person is so fierce, forget it!"

Jiang Xingye got anxious at this, turning around to pull Xu Qinghuan into his arms, using force with his two arms, as hard as steel cast.

"Don’t you dare leave me, I wasn’t fierce, I was scared!" He naturally remembered that day, her eyes were red; then, he had an uncontrollable urge to hold her and comfort her.

He thought she looked so beautiful when she cried; if she cried in bed, he couldn’t resist.

"Scared of what?" Xu Qinghuan climbed on his shoulder, her legs wrapped around his waist like vines.

"Afraid I couldn’t stop in time, afraid I’d hit you." His arms supported her, face buried in her chest, "Afraid I couldn’t resist kissing you in front of so many people. From the first moment I saw you, I’ve wanted you, every moment!"

Heart seemed to be tossed, a feeling of weightlessness, Xu Qinghuan hugged his head, "So early? When I was pestering you, you were so cold, like you were disgusted with me." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Never disgusted, just afraid I couldn’t resist, afraid you’d report me as a hooligan."

Who knew she’d be so bold then, scared of snakes, she climbed onto him,

He looked up at her, "What if you married Jiang Chengxu, what would I do?"

Xu Qinghuan laughed and bit his nose, "That’s impossible, I would never marry him. With you, I wouldn’t marry him."

"But there was no me then."

"But I knew you were out there, so I didn’t marry him, pulled all kinds of tricks to deceive them all, and went to the countryside to find you."

Jiang Xingye captured the mouth that was always talking, kissing her amid the sky full of fire, the sound of fire trucks roaring past their ears, billowing smoke covering the sky above East District, twisting into a hideous face, overlooking the ground and those wrapped in flames.
