Free Web NovelChapter 1581: Chapter 1042: Shamelessness (Part 2)
"Of course!" Fang Tao’s eyes lit up, and he quickly raised his hand in assurance, "If there’s even half a lie in my words, may I die a horrible death!"
"Then..." Just as the joy in Fang Tao’s eyes grew, Zhou Nanping finally spoke, "You might as well prepare for that horrible death then!"
"You!" Fang Tao looked at Zhou Nanping in disbelief, unable to accept that after everything he said, she could respond with such an attitude!
Wasn’t she always hopelessly in love with him, contented with just a smile from him? Didn’t she say she would love him forever, and even if he didn’t like her anymore, she would still persist?
With these thoughts running through his mind, Fang Tao couldn’t help but question aloud, "Zhou Nanping, so all along, you’ve been deceiving me, claiming I used you. What about yourself? Ask yourself sincerely, haven’t you also used me?
I’ve come to realize my past mistakes and set aside all pride to find you, hoping to rekindle the happiness we once had, and... this is how you treat my sincerity?"
"Could you not insult the term ’sincerity’?" Zhou Nanping looked at him mockingly, "Did you only remember me after Sang Mei dumped you? I bet, aside from being dumped, you’ve run into other issues too?
However, no matter what you’ve been through, I have no curiosity. I used to center my world around you because I loved you, which made you my universe.
Now, I don’t love you anymore, so no matter what happens to you, I won’t feel a thing, well..." her smile widened, "actually, when I hear bad things happening to you, I’m really quite delighted!"
"How could you become like this?" Fang Tao looked at her with a heartbroken expression, "Even if what I did before was wrong, you don’t need to punish yourself this way?
Xiao Nan, seeing you like this really pains me – stop torturing yourself. We’re still young, there’s still a chance to start over. Let’s cherish each other from now on, all right?"
The fact that he could talk only his own side this far – astonishing!
"Fang Tao, I’m telling you very clearly now. When I decided to divorce you, I had already completely given up on you. And now, seeing what a horrible person you are, if I still wanted us to cherish each other, I’d definitely have been kicked by a mule.
Now, I’m asking you to leave our home, and in the future, don’t show up at my doorstep. I don’t want to see you in this life, or say another word to you.
If you still see yourself as a person and care about your dignity, then stop pretending and saying things so false they make people want to vomit, okay?"
Fang Tao had always been extremely proud, and if he hadn’t truly reached a dead end, he wouldn’t have the nerve to come begging to Zhou Nanping. But even so, with what she said, he couldn’t endure it any longer. His face darkened instantly, and he snorted coldly, turning away.
A few steps away, he stopped, turned back, and looked at Zhou Nanping: "Guess I was blind to misjudge you, Zhou Nanping. One day you’ll regret it! By then, even if you kneel before me and beg, I absolutely wouldn’t spare a glance at you, let alone remarry!"
"Still dreaming?" Zhou Nanping rolled her eyes, not even glancing at him as she sat beside Chuxia, playing with the child.
Standing still for a while, Fang Tao finally left in hatred.
"Xiao Liu, nice job!" Zhou Xiangping gave Zhou Nanping a thumbs up, "I used to think you were hopeless, like mud that couldn’t stick to a wall. Now it seems, I was laughably wrong!" freeweɓnøvel.com
"Ah..." Zhou Nanping let out a long sigh and chuckled bitterly, "I know his character too well. Had I not said the harshest words possible, in a while, he would try to entangle me again.
Before, I held onto fantasies about him, always trying to give myself more chances. Now, I truly see the person clearly and know exactly what I need to do, so of course, I don’t want to leave any hope."
However, I guess something bad must have happened in his family. If it was just a breakup with Sang Mei, he wouldn’t have come right away to beg like this."
"You still care about him?" Zhou Jiping looked at Zhou Nanping with a detached expression.
"Of course not!" Zhou Nanping immediately denied without thinking, "I’m only analyzing the situation objectively. With their kind of family, nothing they go through warrants sympathy.
In the past, I was confused, often opposing my family to help them. Now, having understood it all, if I still act foolishly, how could I be worthy of being a member of the Zhou family?"
"That’s good..." Zhou Jiping let out a deep breath, "I feared most that you’d still harbor feelings for him."
"How could I?" Zhou Nanping raised her eyebrows, "He and his family already hurt me deeply. Even if one of them had truly cared for me, I wouldn’t be as cold as I am now towards them.
"Actually, you’re particularly soft-hearted..." Chuxia sighed and continued, "What you’re saying now suggests that you’re still worried about them. Even if you believe there are no feelings left, after being together for so many years, you can’t help but think of them.
What you’re saying now is just a way to persuade yourself. Think over what I said, and if it turns out to be true, send someone to investigate what’s really going on with his family.
If it’s something they’ve brought upon themselves, they can’t blame anyone else. If it’s someone’s doing, you decide for yourself, okay?" (To be continued.
