Her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were wrinkled.
But she didn't care anymore. Fu Yinxiu had stripped away her dignity and trampled it on the ground.
What did she have left to care about?
She had no face left!
It was Fu Yinxiu who had torn her face away, piece by piece!
"Let go of me! Bastard, let go of me! Don't touch me!" Ming Yutong cried out.
"Yutong!" Jiang Lulian called out in pain, then turned to Fu Yinxiu, "Let her go! Fu Yinxiu, let her go! Is this all you can do, force people? Is that it? Did you force her before too?"
"Do I, Fu Yinxiu, need to force a woman?" Fu Yinxiu sneered, holding Ming Yutong tightly. "Every time, she begged me for more."
"Shut up, shut up!" Ming Yutong tried to slap him, but her arms were pinned.
"I don't believe it! Yutong isn't that kind of woman." Jiang Lulian took a deep breath.
"Yutong, I'm sorry I hesitated. This news is too sudden. I didn't know how to react without disappointing you. I can't make a decision immediately because it would be irresponsible to decide in shock."
"I need to think carefully about our future." Jiang Lulian said.
Fu Yinxiu laughed angrily.
A future? With Ming Yutong?
There was no future for them!
"There's no future for you two! Ever!" Fu Yinxiu yelled. "Stop deluding yourself and get lost!"
"Let her go!" Jiang Lulian moved to fight Fu Yinxiu.
But before he could get close, Alpha Guard 1 and Alpha Guard 2 appeared from nowhere and stopped him.
Jiang Lulian was furious. These were the same men who had stopped him before, and now they were here again.
He was no match for them.
Watching Fu Yinxiu hold Ming Yutong, Jiang Lulian's eyes turned red with rage.
"Fu Yinxiu, let go of me!" Ming Yutong shouted.
Fu Yinxiu ignored her and looked coldly at Jiang Lulian. "Are you going to leave, or do you want to stay and watch me do it?"
"Don't you dare!" Jiang Lulian's eyes widened with fury.
Fu Yinxiu sneered, pressing Ming Yutong against her car door. "Tell him to leave, or I'll put on a show right here. I don't mind."
Ming Yutong's eyes were red with anger, filled with bloodshot veins and heavy with tears.
Fu Yinxiu's hand moved up to her face.
She shuddered, and Fu Yinxiu kissed her hard.
"Mm!" Ming Yutong struggled, trying to push him away, but it was useless.
Jiang Lulian was furious, watching the woman he loved being forcefully kissed by another man.
His eyes were so red, it seemed they might bleed.
Fu Yinxiu bit Ming Yutong's lips, his voice hoarse, "If you don't make him leave, he won't need to."
Ming Yutong turned her face away with effort, her lips free again.
"Lulian..." she called out weakly.
This affectionate address made Fu Yinxiu press down harder on her.
Ming Yutong felt nauseous but held it in, saying, "Please go."
"Yutong!" Jiang Lulian cried out in pain.
Fu Yinxiu's expression was mocking.
Jiang Lulian's reaction made him look like the villain tearing apart true lovers.
But clearly, Jiang Lulian and Ming Yutong had no such relationship.
"Please, go. We really... can't be..." Ming Yutong said, crying.
"I can't just stand by knowing you're being humiliated by him. How could I still be a man?" Jiang Lulian said, suppressing his anger.
"I'm sorry..." Ming Yutong's voice carried a note of despair as she stopped struggling, "Just consider it... my choice. I'm sorry, it's my shame, my lack of self-respect. So, I'm not worthy. Please go."
"Yutong—"
"I beg you!" Ming Yutong's voice grew more pleading, "Please... please... leave me with a shred of dignity. Just go, please, don't stay here."
"Jiang Lulian, I beg you, if I must, I will kneel and beg you to go!" Ming Yutong cried, nearly breaking down.
She truly couldn't bear to be humiliated any further in front of others.
Jiang Lulian panicked, "Don't do this, I'll go, I'll go, don't be like this..."
He glanced deeply at Ming Yutong one last time before turning to leave.
Once he was far enough from her home, near his car, he suddenly crouched down and punched the concrete ground.
The skin on his knuckles split open, flesh tearing, and blood flowed out.
Jiang Lulian's face was filled with hatred, his eyes almost as red as blood.
***
Fu Yinxiu sneered, squeezing out his words, "Shameful? You feel shameful being with me?"
"Yes!" Ming Yutong glared at him, her eyes resolute, as if she had made a secret, final decision.
This unsettled Fu Yinxiu, causing a fleeting look of panic to cross his face.
"I have never felt as ashamed as I do now, never regretted being with you so much, whether willingly or forced. I regret it deeply. I feel so cheap, so dirty."
"I truly wish I had never met you, never been with you. I regret meeting you, and I hate myself for ever loving you."
Fu Yinxiu fell silent.
She said she loved him, but she used the past tense.
