Chapter 572: If you want me dead, what’s the point of me living!
"In your eyes, no one exists except her!" Zhu Jianian grew increasingly agitated as she spoke, her hatred boiling over. "What exactly is so good about that bitch? In terms of family background and appearance, I’m not inferior to her in the slightest! Just handing you over to her like this, I can’t accept it...""Shut up!" Gu Moqian rebuked harshly, his face dark with anger. "Do not insult her again, not even a single word! Zhu Jianian, I’m warning you—stop scheming. The Zhu Family is already completely finished, and as for you—"
"I can ensure you’ll spend the rest of your life trapped in prison, never knowing freedom!"
Having said that, Gu Moqian turned on his heel and left without a shred of hesitation.
"Mo Qian, you can’t treat me like this! Let me out, let me out!" Zhu Jianian panicked when she saw him leave, frantically pounding on the transparent glass in front of her, screaming in desperation.
"Mo Qian, I love you so much, why are you doing this to me? Why!" Zhu Jianian wailed, her tears streaming uncontrollably.
What did she do wrong?
Could it really be a mistake to love someone?
Everything she did—all of it—was because she loved him!
"Mo Qian, I beg you, just turn around and look at me... even if it’s just once..." No matter how Zhu Jianian pleaded and cried, the tall silhouette of Gu Moqian never stopped or wavered.
Utterly resolute.
When his figure finally disappeared through the door, despair consumed Zhu Jianian entirely.
She had nothing left. Not even freedom. What meaning was there to living like this!
In that moment, a sudden thought of ending her life crossed Zhu Jianian’s mind.
Slowly, she lifted her eyelids, her pupils lifeless. Suddenly, she summoned all her strength and slammed herself against the glass in front of her—
Thud!
The glass barrier trembled violently, instantly spattered with crimson splashes—visibly shocking, vivid blood everywhere.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Zhu Jianian had completely lost sanity, repeatedly smashing her head against the glass.
"What are you doing? Stop it immediately!"
The nearby prison guards rushed over, forcefully pulling her away.
"Let me die! There’s no point in me living anymore, just let me die!" Zhu Jianian screamed in utter collapse, struggling furiously as blood dripped down her forehead, her face smeared with sticky bloodstains.
"Trying to escape legal punishment by killing yourself? Hah, wishful thinking!" spat one guard disdainfully as they dragged her away from the visitation room.
Bam!
The heavy prison door slammed shut.
Zhu Jianian fell harshly onto the cold, hard floor, the pain making her gasp sharply.
Her bloodshot eyes stared wide open, her fingers tightening and curling into fists, pounding the ground.
Unwilling, she couldn’t submit to fate like this.
She would have revenge! Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn N0veI.Fiɾe.net
If she didn’t fear death anymore, what else could possibly stop her? Even if it cost her this life, she wouldn’t let that bitch get away easily.

Ji Wei had been ordered to rest at home for the past few days, with Ji Family affairs temporarily handled by Chen Ke.
Just now, Chen Ke had called to inform her that there was no longer any need to pursue the lawsuit that Pei You had been overseeing. The defendants had agreed to publicly apologize online and accepted the compensation amount for reputational damages.
Ji Wei understood that this must have been thanks to Gu Moqian’s assistance, and she consented to withdraw the litigation.
After finishing breakfast, Gu Moqian prepared to head to the company.
Ji Wei rose to see him off. After taking a few steps, she realized his tie wasn’t fastened. Today, Gu Moqian was set to attend the city’s investment conference, and he needed to dress formally.
"I’ll go upstairs and fetch it."
Gu Moqian only withdrew his gaze once Ji Wei’s figure vanished at the staircase’s end.
Then, he retrieved his phone and dialed a number.
"Old Xi, got time in the next couple of days?"
"Of course I do, absolutely," Xi Nanfeng answered swiftly. "When have you ever seen me busy?"
Gu Moqian felt the urge to roll his eyes but restrained himself. In a flat tone, he continued, "Good. I’ll invite you and Miss Qin to Shanshui Manor for a couple of days."
With those two jokers around, Ji Wei’s mood would surely improve, wouldn’t it?
Xia Duoduo was filming, and Gu Moqian could only think of Qin Sixue as the one able to stay with Ji Wei for now.
