Lin Xinlan gave him a glance and stood up to head upstairs.
She hadn't taken his words to heart—if he didn't want her to touch it, she simply wouldn't in the future. Leaving was about not wanting to face him.
She had only taken a few steps when Rong Shaoze grabbed her wrist and yanked her body towards him.
"What, are you throwing a tantrum at me? What right do you have to show me attitude?!" Rong Shaoze roared. "Ruoxin's parents are right, a person like you deserves punishment, not to be the Young Madam of the Rong Family!"
Lin Xinlan furrowed her brows, "Let go of me, I'm going upstairs."
Rong Shaoze immediately grew furious, how dare she ignore his words!
He flung her onto the sofa with force, and his strong body followed, pressing down.
Lin Xinlan panicked, struggling to get up, but Rong Shaoze pinned her down, his hands holding her restless ones in place.
Lin Xinlan was overpowered, feeling both frantic and scared: "What are you doing?! Let go of me, I won't touch her things again, alright!"
Rong Shaoze's face darkened; even he didn't know why he was pressing down on her, only that he was very angry and felt uncomfortable inside!
The truth was that he liked Ruoxin, and it pained him that she had been hurt.
But there was something more important that made him abandon Ruoxin and marry someone else.
He thought his actions were justified, but when Ruoxin's parents accused him of being heartless and letting Ruoxin down, he suddenly realized that deep down, he too felt he had wronged Ruoxin.
He could have found some other woman, entered into a marriage contract.
Why insist on this woman?
Maybe at the time, his mind hadn't been working properly and he'd just chosen her. Besides, if this woman died, being his wife was risky, he wouldn't feel guilty.
There was another possibility, he kept her around for revenge!
Yes, Rong Shaoze suddenly remembered his purpose, he wanted to avenge himself on her.
She had hurt Ruoxin, she wouldn't get off easily!
Suddenly, he gripped her throat, saying coldly, "I really want to strangle you, avenge Ruoxin!"
Lin Xinlan grabbed his hand, her little face turning bright red.
"If you kill me, she won't wake up!"
She dared to talk back!
Rong Shaoze was furious, "You despicable woman! If it weren't for you, the person marrying me would be Ruoxin, if not for you, Ruoxin wouldn't be lying in the hospital, maybe never to wake up again!
You've ruined her entire life, don't you feel any guilt in your heart? Huh?!"
Lin Xinlan found breathing difficult, and it took great effort to squeeze out a few words: "Don't act like it's all my fault... I was driving carefully, if she hadn't suddenly run out, I'd still be living my own life... she's also to blame, why did she run out... she's also ruined my life..."
"Shut up!"
Rong Shaoze threw a punch, and Lin Xinlan swiftly closed her eyes, but the punch didn't hit her, instead grazing past her ear and landing on the sofa.
Her heart was pounding so fast.
This man, too violent, too frightening.
"It's clearly you who destroyed everything for Ruoxin, you who injured her! Why aren't you the one lying in the hospital, why aren't you suffering for her, why don't you die!"
Days of repressed anger and guilt made him somewhat lose control.
He just wanted to vent everything on Lin Xinlan, since she was the one who had hit Ruoxin with her car. She was the culprit, and he would never let her off!
Lin Xinlan glared at him fiercely, biting her lip, saying nothing.
Her breathing was rapid, and in her struggle, two buttons of her blouse had come undone, right at her chest.
Rong Shaoze didn't like the way she glared at him, and he snapped, "Talk, have you got nothing to say!"
