After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!

Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Destroy What You Can’t Have!

"Thank you!"

Without any suspicion, Ye Li clinked glasses, took a light sip, and said, "I have to go back to my dorm later. It wouldn’t be good for them to smell alcohol on me, so I’ll just take one sip."

"Okay!"

Seeing Ye Li as before, slightly wrinkling her nose, she took a restrained sip with a pained expression.

Zhou Hecchen smiled, tilting his head back to drain his glass in one gulp.

"Zhou Hecchen, I’m leaving. Take care of yourself in the future... I wish you happiness!"

After setting down her glass, Ye Li spoke and turned to leave.

Behind her, Zhou Hecchen’s lazy voice rang out, "Xiao Li, have you ever thought about why my uncle wants to marry you? Also, do you really think that marrying him will make you happy?"

Ye Li froze in her steps.

She then heard Zhou Hecchen continue, "The prestigious Uncle Fu, what kind of woman can’t he have? Why would he pick up a divorced woman, especially one who has divorced his own nephew?"

Just a moment ago, she was relieved that Zhou Hecchen wasn’t an unreasonable person, and the two had come to a clear and amicable parting.

But at this moment, the offense in Zhou Hecchen’s words made Ye Li especially uncomfortable.

Ye Li frowned, turning back to look at Zhou Hecchen, "What are you trying to say?"

"Nothing much..."

Zhou Hecchen shrugged nonchalantly, his face filled with reckless disinterest, "Just a heads up that pies don’t just fall from the sky!"

Feeling that he was being nonsensical, Ye Li didn’t want to deal with him and turned to leave.

Behind her, Zhou Hecchen stared intently at her retreating figure.

Only when the door closed and nothing could be seen did he look up at the clock on the wall.

Less than five minutes had passed since Ye Li finished that sip of her drink.

Which meant the drug would take effect very soon.

1, 2, 3...

As the mental pendulum ticked away, Zhou Hecchen didn’t know at which count the private room door would be pushed open, someone coming in to tell him something had happened to Ye Li!

If she was lucky, she might collapse in the parking lot and get picked up by some wastrel from the Imperial City’s rich family circles.

But if her luck was poor...

Zhou Hecchen clenched the glass in his hand with hatred, then suddenly, he raised his arm and smashed the glass against the wall.

What he couldn’t have, he would destroy!

If possible, he would rather punish Ye Li himself, making her wish for death in her desperation, left with no choice but to plead for his favor beneath him.

It would make up for his years of unrequited yearning.

But instead, she married Fu Yanci.

Even if he were Fu Yanci’s nephew, if Zhou Hecchen slept with Mrs. Fu, Fu Yanci would certainly kill him without mercy, right?

Such a pity!

Thinking of that man who always seemed so high and mighty, looking down on others with cool arrogance as if he were a deity, it brought Zhou Hecchen undeniable relief that one day he might become a laughingstock in the social circles of the Imperial Capital.

Fu Yanci was only three years his senior, and yet he was an entire generation above him.

Ever since he was a child, he had been the exemplary "other child" to whom everyone looked up with admiration.

And as they grew older, the gap between them only widened.

He was the famed Uncle Fu, the king of the financial world in Imperial City.

Whereas he was nothing but useless mud.

In the business world, the only time people looked up to him was when they learned that Uncle Fu was his uncle.

Zhou Hecchen detested this feeling to the extreme!

And this time, because of Ye Li, he finally had the chance to trample him down!

Leaning back into the sofa, Zhou Hecchen’s eyes fixated on the ticking second hand of the clock on the wall.

...

Almost the moment she stepped out of the bar, Ye Li sensed something was wrong.

The piercing cold wind hit her face, causing a stinging sensation on her cheeks.

But deeper within her body, it felt as though a raging fire was burning, making her want to shed her down jacket.

The words Zhou Hecchen had instructed the waitress to add "extra sugar" popped inappropriately into her mind, and Ye Li stopped dead, her eyes filled with disbelief.

As a tingling numbness began to spread, Ye Li clenched her teeth and walked towards the bright streetlight while taking out her phone to dial a number.
