Chapter 234 - 234 233 Ji Xinghangs Previous Life Side Story

?Chapter 234: Chapter 233: Ji Xinghang’s Previous Life Side Story – The End Part 2 Chapter 234: Chapter 233: Ji Xinghang’s Previous Life Side Story – The End Part 2 He called Luo Ning, though her attitude was cold. She nevertheless insisted that he needn’t come back.

What was even more bizarre was that he later secretly booked a ticket to return for a few days, even if it meant getting scolded by the director.

However, no matter which flight he booked, it invariably encountered problems.

For instance, dense fog would cause a delay, and just like that, it would be delayed a whole day.

Or, the plane he was supposed to board would suddenly be found to have a mechanical failure and was forced to cancel.

On the third attempt, he finally succeeded in boarding a plane to fly back to the country.

But merely three hours into the flight, the pilot received a notification that the airport back home was flooded, along with severe rain and fog conditions, making it impossible to land, so they had to turn back.

Scientific or not, it just happened that way.

So he had to honestly return and continue filming, thinking that once it was done, he wouldn’t take up anymore work and would spend some time with Luo Ning.

Whenever he had time and cell service, he would message Luo Ning.

But her replies were few and far between, and the occasional response felt perfunctory.

Calling her was even more met with silence and coldness. Though she never mentioned breaking up, he couldn’t help feeling panicked and sad.

Several months later, he finally finished shooting and went back.

Then he prepared to give Luo Ning a surprise.

Yan Qiuping came to pick him up, and on the way, he expressed his desire to leave the industry.

Of course, the other party tried their best to retain him, but he was determined to go back and take over the family business.

He had planned to see Luo Ning that very day, but then Bo Xiangxiang unexpectedly fell from a building and even broke her leg.

He actually wanted to see Luo Ning first, but that inner voice appeared again, making him feel that he should go to see Bo Xiangxiang immediately, so he did.

Then, after drinking a glass of water at the hospital, he suddenly felt very sleepy and ended up falling asleep on the couch.

When he woke up, it was already the next morning.

Bo Xiangxiang had thoughtfully covered him with a blanket, mentioning that she didn’t wake him because he seemed too exhausted.

At that moment, he also thought it was probably just because he was too tired. After all, in his eagerness to return home, he had been pushing the director to rush the schedule and often stayed up late filming, so he just passed out from fatigue.

While he was in the bathroom washing up, he heard his phone ringing outside.

In a spur of the moment decision, he asked Bo Xiangxiang to answer it for him.

He had no idea that this act would cause him eternal pain.

When he came out of the bathroom, Bo Xiangxiang told him that the call was from Luo Ning, then asked where he was, and she just said he was at the hospital.

For some reason, that suddenly made him panic and his heart race, so he quickly called Luo Ning back, but there was no response.

His sense of panic intensifying, he immediately left the hospital to find Luo Ning.

Luo Ning hadn’t moved out of their apartment, but when he went there, he found she wasn’t there.

Just as he was about to call her again, his mother called and delivered the devastating news, Luo Ning had jumped from a building and killed herself.

He simply couldn’t accept it, telling himself that his mother was just trying to scare him.

But he immediately rushed downstairs and sped to the hospital.

And then, he saw Luo Ning’s body, her face pale and eyes tightly shut, lying on the white bed.

He couldn’t believe she was dead, desperately calling her name and even shaking her, but she never woke up.

He was then severely slapped several times by his mother who grabbed him by the collar, and kicked a few times as well, all while being bitterly scolded.

He couldn’t believe that Luo Ning had died, holding onto her body, refusing to let go.

In the end, it was Aunt Xin, with cold indifference, who pulled him away, took Luo Ning’s body, and resolutely told him that he would never see Luo Ning again in this lifetime, not even her tombstone.

He was in the hospital utterly distraught, from pain to numbness, he stayed for two days before his father forcibly took him home.

His mother chose to sever ties with him, blaming him for the death of Luo Ning.

She even threw a pile of gathered information at him for him to see.

Only then did he learn that Yan Qiuping had been doing so many things behind his back, and Bo Xiangxiang was not as she had told him; she had secretly hired internet trolls to attack Luo Ning.

Luo Ning had continuously faced so much cyberbullying, coupled with his negligence, that she ultimately took the path of suicide.

He didn’t believe it because he knew Luo Ning; she wasn’t the type to have a fragile heart, she wouldn’t take her own life willingly.

But the harsh reality was laid before him, also delivering a metaphorical slap to his face.

Following that, he just wanted to live in memories, every day his mind was filled with every little detail of the times they had spent together, her graces and smiles, her quirky ways of acting cute around him.

He dearly wished she would suddenly appear, saying that the jumping from the building was just a prank, a means to punish his arrogance and egotism.

As long as she would come back, he would kneel down and admit his errors, he swore he would treat her well, not be rebellious anymore, and would continue to dote on and love her.

But she never appeared again.

A few days later, he was slapped awake by his father.

He also willingly joined the ranks of those seeking revenge for Luo Ning, even though his mother and Aunt Xin never forgave him, needing nothing from him.

He settled the score with Yan Qiuping, leaving him financially and socially ruined, resulting in his jumping from a building due to heavy debts.

However, when facing Bo Xiangxiang, he encountered significant difficulty.

For one, whenever it came to dealing with Bo Xiangxiang, he would suffer from headaches and turmoil, and even wanted to continue being nice to her.

Hence, every time such a thought occurred, he would cut his hand with a knife, muttering Luo Ning’s name, forcefully controlling himself.

But Bo Xiangxiang was no longer the small-time performer she used to be, she had a robust backing with several successful men behind her.

And these men were also accomplices in driving Luo Ning to leap from the building.

He, and even the Ji Family, could not overpower the alliance of those men.

Thus, he left the public eye to take over the Ji Group, hoping to amass more wealth and power, to deal with those men and their families, and finally take down Bo Xiangxiang, avenging Luo Ning.

But before he could succeed, Luo Ning’s previously missing father suddenly appeared.

Using some method, with a thunderous momentum, he utterly destroyed the families of Liu Shaoxian and several others, and none of those men met a good end.

Not long after, Bo Xiangxiang, who had already become an internationally top-ranked actress, suddenly suffered a car accident. Her legs were severely injured leading to amputation, forcing her to announce her retirement.

When he saw Bo Xiangxiang again, she was not only amputated but disfigured and living in poverty, sitting in a wheelchair with a ferocious look, begging him for revenge.

Not only did he refuse, but he also mocked her thoroughly, telling her this was her retribution, before leaving the foul stench of her little house.

Living without Luo Ning, he endured unbearable pain and regret throughout his life, completely losing interest in life, living like a walking corpse.

It was only upon witnessing the downfall of Bo Xiangxiang and the others that, even though he hadn’t exacted revenge personally, he felt a sense of relief.

Thus, on a sunny morning, he walked to the top floor of the building from which Luo Ning had jumped, and leaped down himself.

After that, he awoke with tears streaming down his face.

Yet, there was this feeling that these events had indeed happened, and it wasn’t a dream.
