C2 Ye Nanxuan, You Are A Ruthless Villain

"Shen Mannge, go home. I'll talk to you about this later,"

Ye Nanxuan said when he hung up the phone, frowning. His eyes were filled with worry and anxiety, and those emotions were clearly not for his wife.

Shen Mannge pushed him away coldly.

"Go ahead. After all, she is more important to you."

Her words were ice cold but inside, her heart was as if bleeding.

Ye Nanxuan wanted to say something, but in the end, he stepped back. He hailed a taxi, got her into it, and then left in a hurry.

Shen Mannge smiled bitterly as she watched him leave.

What was the point of lamenting her failed marriage and a husband who belonged to someone else?

When Shen Mannge returned home, the servant greeted her, but she acted as if she did not hear him and went past him, to the bedroom.

She looked at her bedroom, which was completely devoid of any colors. Only black and white stared back at her. She suddenly felt like a clown. Her marriage was nothing but a farce, and now it was really time for her to end it.

Shen Mannge lay on the bed and waited for Ye Nanxuan all night.

He never even called her. The coldness of it all was like a needle piercing Shen Mannge's heart.

"Baby, I'm sorry. Mommy can't give you a complete home. But don't you worry, Mommy will love you twice as much she she can."​

Tears streamed down Shen Mannge's face as she spoke to the baby in her belly. She signed the divorce papers that she had printed this night.​

Every stroke of her signature seemed to cut into her heart like glass shards, dripping with her blood.

After Shen Mannge signed her name, she took off the wedding ring Ye Nanxuan had given her. She placed it on the divorce papers by the table.

She used to treat this ring like a treasure. In the past three years, the ring had left a mark sitting on her finger all the time, but now she had finally taken it off. The mark was a reminder that she loved Ye Nanxuan and could not erase the feeling no matter how hard she tried.

Shen Mannge felt miserable, as if she had no future ahead of her. She was afraid that her heart would soften again, so she picked up her luggage with firm resolution and left the house.

"Madam, Miss Chu is not well," Ye Nanxuan's bodyguard said to her when he saw her. "President Ye is with her. He ordered us to send his wife abroad. We must leave right now."

The moment Shen Mannge stepped out of the door, Ye Nanxuan's bodyguard blocked her way. The words that came out of his mouth Shen Mannge's sent waves of anger through her heart.​

"Why should I go abroad? I'm not going!"

"I'm sorry, madam. President Ye has given his orders. He said this is not for you to decide."​

As the bodyguard said this, he dangerously walked forward. The next second, he knocked Shen Mannge unconscious with a blow to her head before she could react, then dragged her into the car.

She was taken to an abandoned warehouse and stripped of her clothes. Then she was caressed in her unconscious state, by a man who lay down beside her. Someone clicked their photos as the act was done, all sorts of postures taken.

"Miss Chu, everything is done."

After the people around Shen Mannge finished filming the scene, the bodyguard called Chu Mengxi.

Chu Mengxi grinned slyly. "Very good. Nanxuan would never accept a cheating woman as his wife when he sees the photos online. I will take care of everything after that."

"Yes, Miss Chu."

After the man hung up, he poured gas all around the warehouse and lit a fire.

The flames ignited and soared into the sky. The temperature rose. It was so hot in the surroundings that it became suffocating.

When Shen Mannge finally woke up from her unconscious state, she saw that her surroundings were a sea of fire. The thick smoke filled up her lungs and made it hard for her to breathe. She was unable to even open her mouth. The flames were ruthless as they approached and surrounded her.

"Help! Help! "

Shen Mannge did not care about her nakedness. She brandished a stick that she found on the ground and hit the door of the warehouse from the inside. She heard the bodyguard's voice from outside.

"Madam, I'm sorry. President Ye ordered for all this to happen. Don't worry, he will pick a nice grave for you."

Shen Mannge stopped hitting the door at his words.

Ye Nanxuan wanted her dead?

Why?

Was it because she was pregnant like Chu Mengxi? Did he want to make Chu Mengxi his wife now, so that their child could legally be his own?​

'Ye Nanxuan, you are a ruthless villain!' she thought.​

He didn't have any sympathy for the child in Shen Mannge's womb, his own flesh and blood?

Shen Mannge let out a long cry as she looked at the smoky ceiling, the depth of her grief expressing itself.

"Ye Nanxuan, I despise you! I have been blind to fall in love with a cold-blooded and heartless man like you in this life. If I am born again, I will give you a taste of what it's like to be killed by the very person you love!"

The raging fire engulfed her words. It became harder and harder for her to breathe and her eyelids became heavy. She could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, letting the fire touch her skin, burning her and devouring her soul…

Five Years Later

Assistant Soong Tao handed the documents in his hands to Ye Nanxuan.

"President Ye, this is information on the designer the American H-J Group has sent over. It says that she has reached Sea City today. Should we send someone to receive her? I hear that this designer is quite famous overseas. The price of the sports car designed by her is hardly negotiable. If it wasn't for the collaboration with the H-J Group, they wouldn't have allowed this designer to come over to our city and guide us."

"Catherine?"

Ye Nanxuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes, the designer's name is Catherine."

Soong Tao nodded.

It was said that her first sports car, 'Love Wings', had won the first prize at the International Design Competition for cars with no other competition in sight. Before this sports car even went on the market, all the big guns were already fighting to lay hands on it. Catherine supposedly only produced two cars, and they were priced shockingly high. Still, she had many potential buyers asking for the car, who were willing to throw their money at her in exchange.​

Catherine had only come to Sea City because of their partnership with the H-J Group, Soong Tao as quick to remind him. Ye Nanxuan loved sports cars... If he could keep Catherine in the Hengyu Group, then...

Ye Nanxuan's eyes narrowed at the fine print once again.

He quickly read through Catherine's information. But when he saw her Chinese name, he suddenly froze.
