Chapter 1048 - 1047: You’d Better Think of Another Way
"Ma Zongyu, are you even human..."How heart-wrenching, how desolate, how unbearable, to utter such a sentence.
Ding Suzhu’s heart was dead, her whole body kneeling on the ground, desperately beginning to sob.
A woman who had been strong for half her life, suddenly knocked down by reality, becoming worthless.
Only now does she truly understand, not loving someone simply means not loving, without needing any reason.
Xia Xi saw her in this state, frowned, wanting to comfort her, but was stopped by Gu Tong.
Gu Tong shook her head, saying, "Let her be by herself for a while!"
At this time, only by conversing with oneself can one gain clarity, and only after extreme pain can one rediscover the true self.
Ding Suzhu had sacrificed too much for Ma Zongyu, even now she had long lost herself.
After these days of brief interaction.
In her bones, Ding Suzhu still possesses a precious simplicity; she hasn’t changed anything despite entering the ranks of the wealthy.
She can roll up her sleeves and fight for her land, she can weave through high-end banquets, she can endure all infamy, and she can also enjoy white liquor heartily in a hot pot restaurant, gnawing on meat buns in a car.
Such a down-to-earth and strong woman in real life can likewise abandon Ma Zongyu, this scumbag who does not love her.
Gu Tong trusts her.
...
The screen currently playing.
Ma Zongyu was holding a landline phone, making calls, after countless beeps, but no response.
At this moment, someone unknown answered the phone.
Ma Zongyu impatiently said, "Hello, I am Ma Zongyu, I..."
On the other end, a woman with a somewhat mechanical voice, without emotion, said, "Mr. Ma, I am Mrs. Ding’s housekeeper; madam is not home now. If you have any matter, you can tell me, and I will relay it."
Not home...
At this crucial moment, actually not home...
Ma Zongyu tightly gripped the phone, harboring a mindset of giving it a try, said, "I have a deal here, needing five million, send it to me."
The female housekeeper neutrally said, "Mr. Ma, sorry! You now have no relation with the company; madam has said you cannot use the company funds!"
What does it mean by using the company funds!
That was clearly his money!
Ma Zongyu glared, said, "I have an urgent matter now! Send the money to me immediately, I’ll explain later!"
The female housekeeper refused again, said, "Sorry, Mr. Ma, without madam’s orders, I have no authority to use a single penny, you should think of other ways."
After speaking, regardless of what Ma Zongyu might say, she decisively hung up the phone.
’Beep beep beep...’
Ma Zongyu heard the dial tone of the hang-up, his hand trembling in anger, that damned woman! Later he’ll have her fired! Daring to hang up on him!
Song Zihua drank a sip of red wine, sneered, "Mr. Ma, how did things go, surely there’s money in your account by now."
He swayed the wine glass twice, feeling quite smug, confident that Ma Zongyu couldn’t come up with the money.
Ma Zongyu shivered all over, hurriedly explained, "Mr. Song... I, I’ll make another call, I’ll try calling Caiyan..."
Ding Caiyan! His last hope...
Considering how well he’s treated her normally, this time just sacrifice a bit.
If it doesn’t work, he’ll compensate her in the future; it’s only like this, and only this way...
