His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 405

Chapter 405 - Invisible Wall

"How dare you say that, Hui? How dare you?" Jiang Ying Yue tearfully whispered.

Long Hui’s expression cracked upon seeing the obvious hurt in her eyes.

Even though tears were streaming down her face nonstop, Jiang Ying Yue still forced her voice to be clear and strong.

"Right from the start, I already knew that you asked Xiulan to hire me. Yes, I started off as her bodyguard but we became genuine friends later on. Don’t downgrade my friendship with her just because she showers me and our son with nice things. She’s just a naturally generous person to those she cares about. And she loves our son like her own.

"And besides, if I really wanted nice and expensive things like you’re insinuating, I would’ve forced you to marry me the moment I found out that I was pregnant. But I didn’t! If I only cared about wealth, I would’ve accepted your proposal the first time despite all of the humiliation and threats your relatives threw at me! But I didn’t! Don’t you ever paint me as an opportunistic person, Hui! Do you realize how extremely hurtful you’re being today?

"I bore your child, experienced the unbelievable pain of childbirth, and decided to try again with you because I love you, not because of your wealth or status! I didn’t come from a rich or powerful family like yours. My family wasn’t destitute, but we experienced many difficulties in making ends meet. But at least my family taught me to treasure my dignity, to work hard and earn a living with an honest job, and to not fight with my own siblings and relatives because of inheritance.

"My late parents may not own their own company like your father, but they were still able to send me, their daughter, to university. When I finished my degree, they treated it as their biggest life achievement! I’ll forever be thankful for their sacrifices, even now that they’re gone. How about your family, Hui? All of you just know how to fight against each other because of money and power! The Longs don’t deserve to be described as family! You’re all a bunch of enemies pretending to be family!

"So keep your wealth and status to yourself! I don’t need it nor want it! My son and I will survive even without your Long money. I also don’t want my son to call such power-hungry people as his family!"

All of these words tumbled out of her mouth in an emotional explosion. She needed to take a brief break to catch her breath while hopelessly trying to control her tears. She angrily wiped her tears with her hands.

Her emotional speech was the only thing so far that managed to penetrate his abnormal state of mind. It made his good sense gradually return.

"Ying Yue..." He reached for her.

"No! Don’t touch me!" She slapped his hand and moved away from him until her body was almost plastered on her side of the car door.

"I... Please, Ying Yue..."

"Just shut up for now. Let me finish what I’m saying."

A tense silence enveloped the car. The driver wished he could drive faster without breaking the traffic rules, so that they could reach the hospital sooner. This kind of tension wasn’t good for his heart. He might be the one who would need to be admitted to the hospital for heart attack if he had to endure witnessing the couple’s distressing fight like this.

Finally, Jiang Ying Yue spoke again. She looked directly at Long Hui’s eyes, a heartbroken expression on her face.

"Hui, I love you because of who you are. Even when I’m still so hurt by what your relatives did to me back then, I still decided to give us another chance. But now it seems that I never really knew the real you. I didn’t know that you’re this kind of narrow-minded and malicious man. You’re just like your relatives, all extremely BIGOTED!!! You’re indeed a member of the Long family. It seems that your sisters are the only decent people in your family!"

After saying her piece, Jiang Ying Yue began sobbing hard. Her loud, heart-rending cries filled the car.

The driver had now become upset, even teary, witnessing everything happening in the backseat. He wanted to bash Long Hui’s head, but he remembered that the man was still the Young Miss’s brother. Although it seemed that the siblings were fighting now, unless the Young Miss officially declared her brother as an enemy, he and the other household staff still needed to treat Long Hui with politeness just because he was the blood relative of the Young Miss.

Long Hui had now recovered from his malicious outburst. Guilt and shame filled him until he almost felt nauseous. Seeing his woman and the mother of his child sobbing so hard made his heart feel like it was being squeezed painfully into a pulp.

"Ying Yue... I...I’m sorry. I didn’t know what came over me. I feel like I was possessed or something." He desperately tried to find the right words to tell her but could only struggle.

He felt mortified remembering everything he did and said at the penthouse. Just like Jiang Ying Yue, it seems that he also never really knew the real him. He had no idea that he was this kind of narrow-minded, malicious, and bigoted man.

"I’m sorry. So sorry..." he could only mumble over and over. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}
