Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 1042: Chapter 1042: Ups and Downs

That night, that one night.

He started losing control, all his desires concentrated on the woman beside him.

But he knew he wasn’t a bastard, and he wasn’t a beast either.

Roaring for the woman to leave, his eyes, full of desire, struggled to stay clear. He was a person, he absolutely could not harm others.

The woman seemed to notice something was wrong with him, looking at him sympathetically, those eyes shining in the darkness, what kind of eyes were those!

Filled with hope, filled with strength, filled with compassion. The hand the woman reached out with, and her low murmur completely shattered his willpower.

He still remembers those words.

"Perhaps this is fate, you saved me, I’ll save you once too."

Yes, that woman saved him. noveldrama

He reached out and tightly embraced his fevered body.

This night was probably one he could never forget in his lifetime.

That night, his life was saved by a woman. After a night of tenderness, he passed out due to the drug’s effects, and when he woke up,

there was no one else in the cave except him. If it weren’t for the jade pendant that fell beside him, letting him know that everything last night wasn’t a dream, he would have thought he had a spring dream.

There was also a cold steamed bun.

The only regret was that he didn’t see the woman’s appearance, only those eyes and the jade pendant.

The next day, the Director started finding all sorts of ways to make him submit, even making him afraid to eat.

Who knew what might be in the next dose of the drug?

Later, it was thanks to half a piece of black bread secretly left for him by Ma Ming, and her steamed bun, which kept him going, without starving to death. He finally decided to escape, Ma Ming escaped with him. They forged a recommendation letter, climbed onto a train to Capital City and rode without tickets, found his father’s old colleague, who bought them boat tickets, and they went to Nanyang to find their uncle.

And then everything that happened later.

No matter how successful he became later on, he would never forget those eyes! The gentleness and warmth in those eyes, that night always lingered in his memory.

A woman warmed him with her body, he didn’t know what happened to her later, but he knew she was also a woman with a story.

The meaning in those eyes was something he couldn’t understand, but for a woman to be willing to save him in that way, it moved him for a lifetime.

He had to find her, at least to see if she was still alive, if she was doing well?

Otherwise, it would be hard for him to be at peace in this lifetime.

If she had a happy family, a man to take care of her, he would offer his blessings.

But if she was not doing well because of him, in that era, a woman having such a night with him, what kind of result could there be, he could hardly imagine.

So he had the duty, the responsibility to take care of this woman.

Sometimes he couldn’t figure out what he truly felt inside. If it was love, it seemed somewhat ridiculous. Using this word on two strangers who hadn’t even seen each other’s appearances was an insult to the word.

But if there was no love, all these years, when dreaming in the middle of the night, he always clearly remembered those eyes, eyes filled with so much content, speaking eyes.

He owed this woman too much.

Everything he owed to others in this life, he had already repaid.

When he was once so poor he couldn’t afford food, others gave him a bowl of rice, which he repaid with villas, mansions, and a comfortable life, he always remembered to repay great kindness with an overwhelming return.

Yet he still hadn’t found this benefactor.

Now that the country’s policies had relaxed, he could finally return here.

So he really wanted to do something, to find this one woman whom he owed in this lifetime.

"We’ll take our time searching, there’s no rush. I’m planning to set up a branch here, the Asian headquarters can be set up in Modu. With such favorable policy directions, I have no reason not to return and do business in my own country." Bai Jingshan put the jade pendant into his chest. He had always kept it close to him, even when he was at his lowest, without money to buy food, he never sold it.

Ma Ming nodded, "Boss, don’t worry. The branch is already in operation, and some of our staff have already arrived in advance. This floor has been completely renovated. The building you wanted, there’s a land bidding coming up soon."

Both of them left from here, so of course they had an unspeakable love for their homeland.

The phone rang.

Bai Jingshan picked up the phone, "Who? Shang Kaiwen? Let her come up."

Ma Ming glanced at Bai Jingshan. Though Bai Jingshan was in his fifties, he still looked good for his age, well-maintained all these years with a steady temperament that comes from weathering storms, the timeless charm of a mature man, and solid net worth attracted innumerable women.

If it weren’t for Mina always meddling in Bai Jingshan’s love life through her daughter Bai Wei, who knows how many women would try to get close to Bai Jingshan.

This Shang Kaiwen was very beautiful, smart, and knew how to use her advantages.

But this woman’s ambitions were not small either.

"Jingshan, you have to be careful with Shang Kaiwen, I think this woman has big plans."

After all, Bai Jingshan’s wealth was enough to tempt anyone.

Bai Jingshan smiled, "Don’t worry, I’m well past the age of being swayed by women. Love, to me, seems like a luxury now. Maybe this life is just destined to be a lone ranger. You can see from my wife and daughter, if I want to marry a woman, they’d probably be the most upset.

Moreover, Shang Kaiwen is very skilled, but still just a young girl. Even if she has ambitions to devour my Bai Group, she needs to see if she has the means. I’m afraid she might bite off more than she can chew, and end up bursting her own stomach."

He had seen plenty of women. Shang Kaiwen was one of those who were ambitious, without hiding her intentions, yet disguised very well.

If he were ten years younger, he might have entertained the idea of playing along with her.

But Bai Jingshan no longer had that kind of impulse and passion.

"Mina went too far, how did she raise Bai Wei like that!" Ma Ming felt uncomfortable as soon as he mentioned Bai Jingshan’s ex-wife.

That woman could be said to be ambitious, but Bai Jingshan was young and impetuous back then, otherwise, how could Mina have married Bai Jingshan.

It’s a pity she didn’t appreciate it. Just because of Bai Jingshan’s one setback, she divorced him, short-sightedly!

Who would have imagined that Mina would regret it now?

Bai Jingshan’s ability to bounce back to this stage was largely thanks to Mina’s betrayal back then, otherwise how could he have made a comeback?
