Chp 2321: Get Out! This Is My House

Since they were already divorced, Ning Shu didn’t have to tolerate An Xuchen’s terrible temper anymore. He should just go bother his true love!

They already divorced, so how shameless must he be to follow her back here!?

Scram!

Get the hell out of here!

An Xuchen probably hadn’t quite adjusted to Ning Shu’s sudden ruthlessness yet and was confused by it. He said, “What did you say?”

“I said, get out! This is my house. We’re divorced now, so hurry up, pack your things, and get out,” Ning Shu coldly ordered. “If you don’t want me to throw you and your stuff out, hurry up and go, go, go!”

An Xuchen’s face was dark. “Fine. I’ll go. You better not regret this.”

Ning Shu rolled her eyes. She sat on the couch, picked up an apple, and started munching on it.

An Xuchen packed his things up, then came out with his suitcase. He carried his things and walked away without even sparing Ning Shu a glance. After a couple of steps, however, he stopped. He took out some keys and hurled them toward Ning Shu. “Your keys.”

Ning Shu only stretched out her hand and nonchalantly caught the keys. She looked indifferently at An Xuchen, who humphed coldly in response. He arrogantly turned around and walked away, but his pace was very slow.

He was probably waiting for Ning Shu to call out and beg him to come back. However, she never did, so he had no choice but to carry his belongings out and quickly walk away.

He also loudly slammed the door shut on his way out.

What kind of behavior was that? Who was he angry with?

With An Xuchen gone, Ning Shu turned on her computer and uploaded information about her house, which she wanted to sell.

Ning Shu planned to sell this house so that An Xuchen wouldn’t come over every other day in the future.

For some reason, An Xuchen had the idea in his head that the original host, Xue Jing, loved him so much that she would never be able to let him go.

Ridiculous.

Less than a day after the divorce, Yan Suni called and angrily asked Ning Shu, “You really divorced An Xuchen?”

"Yeah," Ning Shu said indifferently. "An Xuchen has always said that I was ruining his relationship with you, so now I’m getting out of the way.”

“When have you ever done that? What if An Xuchen’s parents try to force us to get married now? What should I do, then?” Yan Suni annoyedly asked.

“Why did you divorce him suddenly?

“Did Aunt and Uncle agree with you about it?

“Jingjing, you can’t be like this. You can’t just get a divorce and abandon us like this,” Yan Suni wailed over the phone.

The corner of Ning Shu’s mouth twitched. She wondered how the hell Yan Suni could even say those words. She couldn’t get divorced and abandon them like this? Then, was she supposed to be a human shield, who’d block all inconveniences for them, for the sake of their true love?

Ning Shu didn’t reply with anything and simply hung up, lest her mood was affected.

In the next few days, Ning Shu cleaned up every nook and cranny of the house. She even wiped the glass clean.

She had put the house on sale through the internet. Someone would be coming to see it in person soon.

The house Xue Jing bought was actually placed in a good location. It had also been renovated, so everything, including the furniture, was new.

The decor was also quite nice. Even at only one glance, the house looked rather classy.

The only downside was that the house was still being paid for with a mortgage. However, it didn’t make it too difficult to sell it.

A fitting offer was eventually made by a young couple. Ning Shu calculated the difference and found that she’d make a slight profit, so she sold the house to them with great alacrity.

After she sold the house, Ning Shu rented a one-bedroom house as her new residence.

She turned on the tracking system and saw that An Xuchen had been staying alone at a hotel, not with Yan Suni.

Chp 2322: Wasn’t Like She Was a Germaphobe

Yan Suni and An Xuchen were probably fighting. Yan Suni must’ve refused to live a conjugal life together with An Xuchen. Furthermore, An Xuchen had rushed into a divorce, which must have infuriated her.

Ning Shu really couldn’t understand Yan Suni. It wasn’t like she was a germaphobe. After all, she clearly didn’t care that much about physical cleanliness. She never wore masks and she never showed any obsession with cleaning either.

She showed even less concern about spiritual purity. After all, she forced her boyfriend to marry her best friend just because she didn’t want to get married. It was seriously an abnormal illness.

After she had a divorce and sold her house, Ning Shu spent a lot of her time at work.

The company was offering an opportunity for further studies abroad, which Ning Shu wanted to secure.

Xue Jing had been working for this company since she freshly graduated from university, so this opportunity was also open to her.

The supervisor was supposed to choose an unmarried candidate since that’d mean they were young and didn’t have a family to take care of.

However, Ning Shu directly told the supervisor that since she was divorced, she also had no family to worry about.

After half a day of consideration, the supervisor then gave Ning Shu the spot. Xue Jing was a competent worker, after all, and she also had worked for the company for a long time.

The program would start in two months, so Ning Shu had to find a way to destroy An Xuchen and Yan Suni’s relationship within those two months.

Since An Xuchen wanted to try doing business, then she’d make his business fail. His mortgaged house would then be seized by the bank.

At that time, An Xuchen would have nothing that he could use to keep Yan Suni.

Ning Shu wondered if Yan Suni would still feel anything for him when he had turned into a failure.

Love was also an emotion, after all. It couldn’t afford to be tarnished in any way, otherwise, it’d wane.

After work, Ning Shu fixed herself a hearty dinner. She ate it all, cleaned up, then did some warm-up exercises. After all that, she finally turned on her computer.

Ning Shu had been attacking An Xuchen’s video site, which was still in its early stage right now.

There weren’t many employees yet, only a technician and two programmers. There were also so many users watching videos on the site. This combination meant the website would be an easy target to attack.

Ning Shu started to directly attack the server. She worked for almost two hours until the site finally went down.

Many people were watching a video on the site without a hitch up to that point. Then, their video suddenly stopped, and even when they refreshed, they couldn’t re-open the page they were on.

There were also people who were watching a live stream. One moment they were watching a beauty or a hot man live, then the next moment they were suddenly gone.

They couldn’t open the website at all.

Although there were technicians who came to the rescue, it took several attempts until they completely repaired the server.

Ning Shu cracked her stiff neck. She didn’t continue her attack. This attack was already enough to keep them busy for a while.

Meanwhile, when An Xuchen saw his website in chaos, he really wanted to tear the heaven and destroy the earth. How could he have such terrible luck in business?

It took less than a day to salvage the site and restore it to its usual state, but it still left many users complaining.

An Xuchen had no other choice but to recruit another maintenance tech employee, lest the site broke down again.

They already lost some users because of the incident.

The site hadn’t generated much revenue. However, An Xuchen already invested too much into it to give up now. He was already in too deep.

Having invested so much upfront, if he pulled out now without making any money, he’d still be owing the bank hundreds of thousands of dollars.

There were also the contracted content creators, who he had poured so much money into.

So An Xuchen had no choice but to persist. He was completely relying on this website to make a living now.

If it failed, then he’d be left with nothing.

An Xuchen’s heart was very heavy. He also stopped living in a hotel, as it was very expensive. It was now a critical time, and he must save every single penny he could.

Chp 2323: Had Already Found a New Man?

Never in his wildest dreams did An Xuchen ever think that he’d be struggling like this.

He checked out of the hotel he was staying at and dragged his suitcase back to Ning Shu’s house.

When he rang the doorbell, however, it was answered by a male stranger.

An Xuchen’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the man. A surge of anger grew in his heart.

This woman had just gotten divorced from him, yet she had already found a new man. An Xuchen even suspected that this woman had schemed to get a divorce for a long time.

An Xuchen felt betrayed. This woman had claimed that she wanted to live like a normal family with him, yet she changed her mind already.

In his mind, it was okay for him not to love Xue Jing, but he couldn’t tolerate Xue Jing’s ‘betrayal’ at all.

This was exacerbated by the fact that he was really going through a hard time right now, yet this woman was living a nice life with another man!

“I’m looking for Xue Jing.” An Xuchen glared at the man unkindly. He carried his suitcase and pushed the man aside as he walked into the house.

“I said, who are you looking for? What are you doing barging into my house?” The man blocked An Xuchen’s way.

“Honey, what’s wrong?” A woman came out of the kitchen. “Who’s this?”

“Who knows? He randomly barged in. Please get out, or I’ll call the police!” The man warily stared at An Xuchen.

An Xuchen embarrassedly stared at the young couple.

"Where's Xue Jing?"

“The previous owner? She sold the house to us. This house is now ours.”

An Xuchen carried his suitcase out, left, then called Ning Shu in a huff.

Ning Shu picked up the phone and heard An Xuchen's growling voice, "Why did you sell the house without telling me?"

Ning Shu heard An Xuchen breathing hard over the phone. Even without seeing his face, she could imagine his disbelieving face and his chest rising and falling in anger.

“An Xuchen, are you dumb? The house was mine. We’re also already divorced. Whether I sell the house or not is none of your damn business,” Ning Shu said coldly.

It took An Xuchen a moment to remember that although he had originally owned the house as well, he already had his name erased from the deed.

An Xuchen ruffled his hair in annoyance. He had no ownership rights of the house anymore. He should have known better than to transfer the house ownership to her.

If he hadn’t, then he would have had a say over the house as well.

Moreover, he had already checked out from the hotel. Where was he supposed to go now?

An Xuchen carried his luggage and went to Yan Suni’s house. She opened the door and looked the sullen and dejected An Xuchen up and down.

His shirt was a little wrinkled. The creases on the back of his leather shoes were also very visible.

An Xuchen was busy with the company. With the question of his survival looming over him, his appearance wasn’t really on his mind. He had to first ensure his survival.

If An Xuchen’s career was already successful, then he’d naturally have the time and money to take care of himself nicely.

However, there were simply too many things on An Xuchen’s mind right now.

“Suni,” An Xuchen called out.

Yan Suni looked furious. “You got divorced without even telling me. I don’t want to see you right now.”

Yan Suni banged the door shut, leaving An Xuchen outside the door.

An Xuchen had no choice but to return to the house he had mortgaged to the bank. He had bought the house as a speculative investment, so it wasn’t even furnished at all.

Chp 2324: If He Failed…

The house was only an investment.

There wasn’t even a bed in the house. It really was just an empty space surrounded by four barren walls.

The more An Xuchen looked at the house, the more annoyed he became. Because of that, he went to live at the company office, which he had rented.

An Xuchen was now a bit afraid to think about what his life would be like if he failed.

He slept on the company’s couch every day. To sleep, he simply covered himself with a blanket, which he put away during the day. However, it was inconvenient to do anything else, such as washing up.

Not to mention that since he had no way to cook, he had to order takeout every day.

He had previously been entangled with two women, yet none of them even came to see him.

An Xuchen looked up towards the night sky. He felt a bit miserable. Heartache inexplicably welled up inside him.

While An Xuchen was feeling sorry for himself, Ning Shu was happily cultivating. She did that until her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID, which spelled ‘Mom’.

Ning Shu coughed and picked up the phone. On the other end of the line, Xue Jing’s mother spoke extremely quickly, “Jingjing, Suni told us that you got divorced. What’s going on, ah? You didn’t even tell your father and me about the divorce. If it wasn’t for Suni calling us, I wouldn’t have known that you and Xuchen have gotten divorced.”

Ning Shu sighed. She hadn’t told Xue Jing’s parents about the divorce.

It would’ve only further complicated things if she had told them. With the older generation’s way of thinking, they’d only tell her to just make peace, to not divorce, and to try accommodating her husband while she lived out the rest of her days with him.

Why must she accommodate him? Even if she wanted to, how would she do it? It’d never work out anyway.

Ning Shu said indifferently, “Mom, you shouldn’t listen to Yan Suni. Yan Suni and An Xuchen are lovers, but since she doesn’t want to get married, she dragged me into their relationship as a shield. Those two have been together from the start.”

Xue Jing’s mother was rendered speechless. “That can’t be right.”

“That’s the truth. Yan Suni didn’t tell you the reason why I got divorced, did she?” Ning Shu said with a sneer.

“That girl, how could she do this to you? For better or for worse, we were neighbors, and you two grew up together.” Xue Jing’s mother was furious.

“Mom, you guys don’t need to worry about this matter. I’ll take care of it. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine,” Ning Shu said calmly. “Now that I’ve gotten rid of them, your daughter will have a better future. I’ll also be going abroad for further studies sometime soon... You guys must take good care of yourself. I’ll send some money over later.”

“Keep the money for yourself. Your father and I are fine. We have money to use. Set aside some money and come home for a bit before you leave the country.”

"Okay, I will."

Ning Shu hung up and blankly stared at her phone. Yan Suni really had the guts to call Xue Jing’s parents and tattle to them. Did she still want her to remarry An Xuchen?

How bewildering.

Ning Shu felt a little annoyed. She picked up her computer and put it on the coffee table. Nowadays, whenever she was unhappy, she’d feel the urge to mess with An Xuchen.

Ning Shu started attacking the web server again. Soon, the server’s CPU usage was so high that it crashed.

None of the videos would play. The loading circle would keep spinning and spinning, and the users simply couldn’t watch anything.

The irritation of watching a video that simply wouldn’t load, as if their internet was slow, was unimaginable.

Live stream viewers also couldn’t see the streamers at all. Their screen was pitch black.

They were all feeling like crap, and they were also hurling all sorts of colorful curses.

An Xuchen was telling his employees to hurry up and take care of it. He watched the technician type on his keyboard from the side.

An Xuchen rubbed his head. He couldn’t help but slam his fist heavily on the table, making the file folders on the table jump a little.

“What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and fix it!” An Xuchen couldn’t help but yell when he saw the employees staring at him.

The employees immediately got busy. Meanwhile, An Xuchen could only stare at the website, which still hadn’t been fixed, on the screen.

Chp 2325: The Loss Was Still Significant

“Hurry up! It’s been more than an hour,” An Xuchen urged his employees.

Despite An Xuchen urging them to the point of hyperventilation, this problem still wasn’t something that could be fixed as easily as tightening a screw.

It took them a while to get the site back to normal.

The loss was still significant, though. Many users had already lost their profile data, meaning the accounts of the users who were already registered might not exist anymore when they tried to log back into it.

Moreover, An Xuchen’s website used a VIP system. This meant that the users’ money had all practically disappeared as well.

When An Xuchen heard the technician’s explanation, he facepalmed himself.

Since they couldn’t log into the website, the users let out all sorts of colorful curses. They talked about how shitty the site was, how it kept running into problems every other day, and how the developers should just go get a better server!

They also complained loudly that their account was gone and that they had already topped up so much money into the account.

The users welled all up in arms. Someone even went to complain that An Xuchen had deliberately done this to trick them out of their money.

Thus, An Xuchen had no choice but to have people provide their account numbers and passwords, as well as how much money the account was charged with, and then return the account to these people.

However, there was no shortage of jerks who provided fake account information and got themselves a free VIP account.

An Xuchen hadn’t even earned a single penny from the website. Instead, he was losing even more money.

An Xuchen threw a tantrum over this. He had hired these technical maintenance staff, yet the damn website was still having all sorts of problems.

An Xuchen was under a lot of stress. He had lost a lot of weight. He now looked disheveled, and his face had even turned yellow.

But he had to hang in there, no matter what.

After two relatively big attacks, Ning Shu wasn't being so blatant with it anymore, in case An Xuchen called the police.

Her tiny bit of hacking skills still couldn’t compare to those unnatural geniuses.

She still had a lot to learn.

Ning Shu decided to just silently invade the site in a way that wouldn’t bring it down, but simply would make it lag and react a bit slower.

There’d be no way to watch a video smoothly.

This way, An Xuchen's website would slowly lose its users.

In addition to attacking An Xuchen's website, Ning Shu also started to prepare for her departure from the country. She was definitely going to further her education, improve herself, and be able to move up to a higher position after gaining this international experience.

Although she had failed in love, at least her professional life was only getting better.

Ning Shu became too busy with work even to answer calls from An Xuchen and Yan Suni. She was too lazy to listen to these two.

It was completely pointless to get involved with these people.

However, Ning Shu never thought that Yan Suni would go to find her at her workplace. One day, when Ning Shu got off work, she went out and saw Yan Suni waiting for her in front of her company.

Ning Shu pretended not to see her and walked straight away.

“Jingjing…” Yan Suni caught up with Ning Shu, who turned around and said, “What?”

“It’s getting quite late. Let me treat you to dinner,” Yan Suni earnestly said.

The two went to a Chinese restaurant. Ning Shu ordered some dishes, which came up one after another. While she ate, Ning Shu said, “What’s the matter? Why were you looking for me? If it’s about An Xuchen, don’t even bother to say anything.”

“What else can we talk about besides An Xuchen?” said Yan Suni.

Ning Shu nodded. “You’re right. Women can’t talk about anything but men. There’s indeed nothing else to talk about.”

"Jingjing, would you stop being so cold to me if I break up with An Xuchen?" Yan Suni said.

Chp 2326: Those Who Are Single Have Infinite Options

Ning Shu picked up a slice of Sichuan poached fish with her chopsticks and blew on it before she ate it. “How could that possibly be? I will always be cold to you.”

Yan Suni sighed. “I never thought you’d mind our relationship so much. If that’s the case, An Xuchen and I will break up. You two can have a good life together then.”

Ning Shu’s face remained unchanged. "What, now that An Xuchen’s going through hard times and his current company is in a bad shape, you're leaving him?"

“Didn’t you two say you two had true love?" Ning Shu said as she continued eating. "As expected, those who are single have infinite options."

Ning Shu found another characteristic of Yan Suni, which was fickleness. Well, perhaps she wasn’t fickle, but she definitely cared about attraction a lot...

Apparently, An Xuchen didn’t attract Yan Suni anymore.

Since she was bored and tired of it and didn’t feel the butterflies anymore, she had to split up with him.

"Jingjing, can you stop being so snarky? The most important thing to do now is to resolve the problem between the three of us," Yan Suni said helplessly.

Ning Shu blinked. She was snarky???

“The problem between us has been perfectly resolved. I’m divorced now and you can be with your true love. How else do you want us to solve it? Yan Suni, don’t get ahead of yourself,” Ning Shu said coldly.

Right as Yan Suni was about to say something, her phone rang, Yan Suni picked up her phone, looked at Ning Shu, then left the room to answer the call.

Ning Shu ate her food while straining her ears to hear what Yan Suni was saying.

About seven minutes later, Yan Suni came back in. She had a slight blush on her face. Paired with her thick, slightly curly hair, she looked beautiful.

Ning Shu narrowed her eyes and stared at Yan Suni. Yan Suni shifted in her seat uncomfortably and picked up her chopsticks.

But the dishes on the table had all been pretty much eaten by Ning Shu. Yan Suni circled the table with her chopsticks for a moment, then just put them down again.

Ning Shu had some suspicions that Yan Suni already had a new boyfriend.

Why else would she have to go out just to answer a call?

Ning Shu asked with a casual expression, "Was it An Xuchen who called just now?"

Yan Suni froze and shook her head in denial. "It was just about work."

Sure enough, it wasn't An Xuchen who made the call.

However, the fact that she didn’t want anyone to overhear made it clear that it wasn’t a work thing.

An Xuchen might have been forced to wear a green hat.

Yan Suni cheated on him, and Xue Jing had also cheated on him.

To get by in life, one must keep around a little green.

Why did An Xuchen even bother dragging two women around with him?

"Jingjing, I have very little contact with An Xuchen now. He and I will slowly break off. Maybe I won't even be in your lives anymore, so can’t you stop hating me?" Yan Suni stared at Ning Shu.

Ning Shu wiped his mouth slowly and methodically, then stood up with her bag.

She grabbed a plate, walked over to Yan Suni, pulled open Yan Suni’s collar, then poured a plate full of grease and leftovers into Yan Suni's clothes.

Yan Suni squealed in shock and stood up, hastily drawing paper and reaching into her shirt to wipe herself clean.

"What are you doing!?" Yan Suni screamed at Ning Shu. She was wearing a dress today and the oil was running down to her calves. Since the grease and leftovers were all over her clothes, it was easy to imagine how much messier the situation was inside her clothes.

"Yan Suni, don't dump all the garbage you don't want on me. You think, just because you don’t want An Xuchen, that old man, anymore, you can just push him to me? Do I look like your garbage disposal station?" Ning Shu said coldly.

Damn, all this just for a man? It was so irritating. If not for the fear of committing a crime, Ning Shu really fucking wanted to chop An Xuchen into pieces.

“Xue Jing, do you really think you’re a saint? This was all because you liked An Xuchen! An Xuchen was my boyfriend, so what you did was basically stealing my boyfriend. You two were just married, what f*cking meaning does a marriage have anyway?" Yan Suni picked up the plate on the table and smashed it towards Ning Shu.

Chp 2327: Finally Shown Your True Colors

Yan Suni's body was covered in greasy soup, and she was so infuriated that she picked up the plate on the table and smashed it at Ning Shu.

Ning Shu dodged the plate. It clattered to the ground, smashing into pieces and scattering all over the floor.

"Yan Suni, you've finally shown your true colors." Ning Shu opened the door to the private room and left.

Yan Suni had always been like this. She always thought she was doing the right thing for other people, but in reality, she was only forcing her own selfish desires on others.

When she was out of the restaurant, Ning Shu thought for a bit, then went to a private detective agency. With the possibility being there, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to look into whether Yan Suni was sneaking around and having affairs.

Ning Shu showed them a photo from her phone, which was a selfie that Xue Jing and Yan Suni had taken together in the past.

Ning Shu then asked the private detective to keep an eye on Yan Suni's movements and take some pictures as evidence.

Ning Shu suspected that Yan Suni already had a new boyfriend.

Coming out of the private detective agency, Ning Shu decided to walk back home. The evening breeze blew on her face.

She could feel the cold air in her lungs. Ning Shu extended her two index fingers, placed it at the corners of her mouth, and lifted them upwards to make a smiling face.

"2333, next time, you really need to pick an easier task. I can’t quite take it anymore," Ning Shu said with the corners of her mouth hooked up.

With all the functions of the system space turned off and no access to other people, Ning Shu felt like she was the only one left in the world.

Human emotions were cyclical, like a period. One moment it’d be filled with excitement, and after that, it could be filled instead with self-doubt.

During this past period of time, she had been rushing into tasks without a break and had little way to relax.

She was a little tired.

"Alright," 2333 said. "By the way, you have a bit of an endocrine disorder. You should get a man.

"How about we do a dating one for the next task to improve your mood?" 2333 said. "Emperor, prince, CEO, general, male pet, demon king, you pick whichever you want."

Ning Shu thought for a moment, "Who knows how many of these people I've already destroyed? Rather than trying to make trashy men fall for me, I might as well just slaughter them all and take over the world.

“You want me to choose one of them? I’d rather kill you,” Ning Shu indifferently said.

In the task world, she would have to leave once the task was completed. How could she date anyone there?

Moreover, how could she fall in love with someone in that short amount of time?

Ning Shu was someone who aspired to be at the top of the mountain. She wouldn't covet the view from the mountainside. She wanted to climb to the top of the mountain, where she’d be able to see everything.

2333 was quiet for some time. "If there’s someone who likes you, would you pause your steps?"

"Why should I do that?" Ning Shu was surprised, "No one can stop me, and no one is qualified to ask me to stop."

If she stopped, Ning Shu would be left with no way to master her own destiny, and if she couldn't even have control over her own life, how could she ever be happy?

"Alright." 2333 didn't say anything else.

Ning Shu walked back home, poured herself a glass of water, and turned on her computer. She then browsed through An Xuchen's website.

Then, Ning Shu carefully attacked the site, making it more and more laggy.

A viewer could get stuck in the middle of the video for five or ten minutes, and quite frequently, at that.

It was infuriating.

An Xuchen stared at the computer screen. He was so anxious that his hair was falling out. What was wrong with this website this time!?

They were worried that the website was slowing down because too many users were using the site. However, the website got so laggy that sometimes users couldn’t even open the site.

It took a huge amount of luck to even open the site, so there were barely any users.

Chp 2328: Someone Was Hacking the Site

A technician told An Xuchen to buy a new server. They suspected it was a server problem.

An Xuchen felt his liver ache after hearing that. A server could easily cost tens of thousands. A better one could cost around a hundred thousand, and there were still even more expensive ones.

An Xuchen couldn’t bear to buy it and had someone come to check the server for problems.

The maintenance technician came over and looked, then said that it was perfectly fine. If there was a problem with the site, it was probably because someone was hacking the site.

An Xuchen had absolutely no clue why a hacker would attack his website.

Afterwards, An Xuchen got a professional hacker to come over and take a look. When Ning Shu saw that the other party was making a move, she immediately cut off her connection, lest the other party track her down.

It seemed An Xuchen had finally caught on.

Despite this, Ning Shu had a backup plan. An Xuchen's website hadn't acquired the rights to any of the movies and TV shows.

Thus, An Xuchen was infringing copyrights.

Ning Shu compiled a list and then emailed the relevant producers. If the other party took it seriously, they would definitely ask An Xuchen to take it down, or they would have to work out a contract for the mutual benefit of both parties.

Either that or he would have to buy the broadcast rights.

It was plenty to give An Xuchen a hard time.

After An Xuchen hired a hacker to clean up some abnormal code, the site’s speed immediately became a lot faster.

But the crazy lag a while back had driven away a lot of users, so this site still didn't have a lot of users.

There were quite a lot of video websites for them to choose from. An Xuchen’s website was now a platform that had lost basically all its users and had a very poor reputation.

An Xuchen helplessly scratched at his hair. As a result, quite a lot of hair was scratched off his head.

An Xuchen couldn't help but to touch his forehead. Even his hairline had shifted upwards quite a bit. If he continued on like this, he would really end up bald from worry.

An Xuchen felt miserable. He wanted to give up. However, he changed his mind when he thought of all the money he had invested, and the house, which was still mortgaged.

An Xuchen gritted his teeth and marched on.

An Xuchen thought that it would all be fine. He thought that, soon, he’d see the light at the end of the tunnel. He didn’t expect that things were only going to get much, much worse.

Some film and TV companies demanded that his site take down their work or they would have to go to court. He had to either buy the rights or sign a contract.

However, An Xuchen had already poured all his money into the website. Where would he get the money to buy the rights from? He had no choice but to remove those movies and TV shows from his website.

There weren’t many users on the website already. Now that many things suddenly became unwatchable, and the website ended up being even more deserted.

There was nothing profitable about the website. Moreover, An Xuchen had to pay his staff’s salaries, and these technical staff’s salaries were quite high.

It made An Xuchen really want to die.

Eventually, An Xuchen decided to just get a new site domain, and start over from there.

After all, he already got the server and the staff. If he could just get a new domain name, he could start a new website.

After a busy month, An Xuchen finally finished making the new website. He then called Yan Suni to help and do a live stream to boost the site’s popularity.

Speaking of which, An Xuchen felt like he hadn't seen Yan Suni in ages.

An Xuchen was ready to clean himself up a bit and go meet Yan Suni.

An Xuchen asked Yan Suni out on the phone, and Yan Suni reluctantly agreed.

The two met in a western restaurant, and when Yan Suni saw An Xuchen, she blurted out, "How did you become like this?"

An Xuchen indeed looked haggard. He even had crow’s feet now. After all, An Xuchen was already almost forty years old. He also used to live like a prince and was in a pretty high management position in his old company.

However, in recent times, An Xuchen had suffered a lot and was under a lot of psychological pressure. It was taking its toll on his body.

Chp 2329: Like He Was Being Stripped Naked in Public

An Xuchen wasn't in very good shape, but he had cleaned himself up before coming over to meet Yan Suni.

However, Yan Suni immediately commented on his appearance the moment she saw him. Her astonished expression also added to An Xuchen’s embarrassment.

It was very awkward. An Xuchen felt like he was being stripped naked in public. Moreover, those words were uttered from the mouth of someone who liked him.

It was so embarrassing.

An Xuchen couldn't help but fix his clothes and change the subject, "How have you been lately?"

An Xuchen looked at Yan Suni, who looked as beautiful as always. In front of her, An Xuchen felt a little ashamed of himself.

“I’ve been fine. How about you?” Yan Suni asked. “How’s your company?”

“…It’s doing okay. Although I’d like to ask you to do a live stream on my website,” An Xuchen struggled to say.

Yan Suni hesitated for a moment, but then nodded in agreement.

The two had nothing else to talk about, so they just ate in silence. After they ate, they parted and went their own ways.

What An Xuchen wanted was to get the new website settled as soon as possible, and for the website to appear in front of Yan Suni in all its glory when the time came.

On the other side, Ning Shu had just received a photo from the private detective. It showed Yan Suni having dinner with a man. However, the photo showed that the man wasn’t An Xuchen.

An Xuchen was busy working right now.

The private detective also gave Ning Shu some information on this man. He was Chen Zheng, the CEO of Dynamico Group.

This Chen Zheng was a bit of a special case. He was a son-in-law that married into the wife’s family, and the entire Dynamico Group was actually in the hands of his wife.

Apparently this Chen Zheng’s wife was a notorious tough woman, to the point that others would often call her a tigress. Meanwhile, Chen Zheng was said to be completely whipped. Even when others said that he was afraid of his wife, he didn’t mind it and said that being afraid of her meant that he respected her.

Ning Shu felt that only a few men really liked women who were truly independent and autonomous. In most cases, they had a massive, untouchable ego and wanted a woman who was completely dependent on them.

Ning Shu flipped through the photos, all of which showed Yan Suni and Chen Zheng being intimate.

Ning Shu paid the private detective and took the photos. She then mailed one copy to Chen Zheng's wife and the other to An Xuchen.

After all, didn’t Yan Suni say that because she never asked a man to divorce his wife, she never ruined any marriage? And she also never destroyed any couple’s bond, right?

As for how An Xuchen felt when he received these photos, Ning Shu couldn't care less.

Then again, she was rather interested in Chen Zheng’s wife’s reaction. Who knew what kind of tactics she would use against Yan Suni.

In the meantime, Ning Shu began to arrange her departure, as she was ready to leave the country for her further studies program.

However, one day, Ning Shu suddenly found a video on the internet, in which a woman was stripped naked in public. She was as naked as a newborn

Someone next to her said, “Since you like to take your clothes off, then take your pants off! Don’t wear your clothes anymore!”

The video was quite HD, so Ning Shu could instantly recognize the person as Yan Suni.

Yan Suni crouched naked on the ground. She was wrapping her arms around her front and keeping her head down to keep the other man from filming her face.

Ning Shu: ...

This Mrs. Chen was really quite fierce, to deal with people like this.

Since Yan Suni behaved shamelessly, Mrs. Chen must’ve wanted to shame her to the grave.

Chp 2330: She Never ‘Broke up’ Anyone’s Marriage

Yan Suni had always argued that she never ‘broke up’ anyone’s marriage.

She cried and shouted hysterically. Why were they doing this to her?

Because of her weeping, a bucket of ice water was thrown at her. This made Yan Suni jump in surprise, revealing her plump front, her thin waist, and her pair of long, thin legs for everyone to see. She really was very beautiful.

Yan Suni hurriedly squatted down in a hurry. She was still only in her birthday suit, so she didn’t dare to run away.

She could only cower in a corner. She was too afraid to move.

Yan Suni looked at the people surrounding her. All of them were pointing at her.

And then there was Chen Zheng, standing with his wife, avoiding her eyes, and constantly trying to explain himself to his wife.

Yan Suni felt really aggrieved, ah! Very aggrieved!

She never broke up anyone’s marriage, so why was Chen Zheng’s wife doing this to her?

Yan Suni never felt like she was at fault.

She now wished for someone, who’d drape a suit over her and get her out of this predicament she was in, to appear. She wished for a knight in shining armor to come and rescue her.

A man with a coat indeed appeared in front of Yan Suni. She raised her head, only to see An Xuchen’s ashen face.

Yan Suni's lips trembled as An Xuchen draped his clothes over Yan Suni's body and hugged her while walking away.

“This woman is your woman, right? Keep a good eye on her and don’t let her go around seducing other men,” Mrs. Chen coldly said. “If I ever see her around my husband again, I won’t let her off.”

Mrs. Chen turned and left. Chen Zheng followed after her, and he kept trying to explain that Yan Suni was the one who seduced him.

Mrs. Chen directly sacked Chen Zheng from his position as CEO, saying that because Chen Zheng had too much money, he thus had the leisure to hook up with other women.

An Xuchen coldly waited until Yan Suni got dressed and came out of the fitting room.

“Why did you do this?” The veins on An Xuchen's forehead was bulging. An Xuchen felt that Yan Suni was someone who deserved only the best, so he suffered so much to give her just that.

However, he never expected that Yan Suni would unexpectedly hook up with another man. “Are you really unable to handle just being a little bit lonely?”

Yan Suni had a melancholic face as he said, “Our relationship is already broken beyond repair. If we separate now, we can at least retain the good memories that we had with each other. We’ve also already hurt Xue Jing… You and Xue Jing should go live a good life together.”

The veins on An Xuchen's forehead twitched. “In short, you just want to break up with me, right? You just think that since I’m poor, I’m beneath you now. That’s why you don’t want to be with me anymore, isn’t it? That’s why you want to climb back up the ladder.”

Yan Suni looked stunned. “We’ve been together for so long, and yet you think that I’m that kind of person? When have I ever cared about money?”

“This dream life of yours is built on money!” An Xuchen grimaced and said, “You want to break up with me? Keep dreaming!”

An Xuchen loathed Yan Suni for betraying him. He had now been betrayed by two women.

“We’ll only hurt each other this way. An Xuchen, please let me go. To let me go will also mean setting yourself free.” Yan Suni’s heart trembled a little as she saw An Xuchen’s hideous expression.

An Xuchen, the refined man from the past had turned into a caged and cranky beast.

He could rise up at any moment and hurt someone.

Career failure and emotional setbacks had left An Xuchen with nowhere to vent his resentment.

He was also already getting old. It was said that in their 30s, a person would become independent, and in their 40s, a person would find their confidence. An Xuchen was supposed to have already found his confidence at his age.

However, his lack of family, children, and career, only built up frustration in him. An Xuchen felt like he was at the end of his rope. He felt powerless to struggle even a moment more.

The panic of having no choice but to go with the flow and having no way to take root had been embedded in An Xuchen's heart.

Yan Suni's betrayal this time completely ignited An Xuchen's powerless anger and panic.

Only now did he truly realize how much of a failure he was.
