Uncle Qi’s funeral was quite lively.
His son invited her to the event.
Jiang Nanshu still didn’t go.
She didn’t go back when he was alive, so there was no reason for her to go after he died.
Jiang Nanshu was always very petty.
She couldn’t tolerate any injustice.
Zhou Yanbai, the gambler, lost everything in the spring of the following year.
He profited from hedge funds, which fueled his growing greed, leading him to invest almost all his assets in them. However, his investments consistently resulted in losses rather than wins, and even the largest companies couldn’t withstand his reckless spending.
Furthermore, he didn’t enjoy running the company. Board members who had lost their initial enthusiasm dumped their shares in the Zhou Group, plunging his company into a slump. To cover the losses from the fund, he had to sell off his assets.
It wasn’t until Zhou Yanbai came to borrow money for the second time, his eyes red with tears.
Jiang Nanshu just smiled at him and took out the contract: “You lost, so come and fulfill your bet.”
“No, I haven’t lost. I can still win. Just give me another 10 billion… no, 20 billion. I can double the money back. I’ve already mastered the secret to making money. Jiang Nanshu, cooperate with me. How about we split the profits 50/50?”
Jiang Nanshu looked at him with pity: “Poor wretch, you have no chance to turn things around. You have to sell all your assets to pay back my 10 billion. Your company, your house, I want them all.”
Zhou Yanbai’s impulsive mind cleared for a moment: “You did this on purpose? Did you manipulate the stock market to make me go bankrupt? That’s illegal! You cheated me out of my money!”
Jiang Nanshu looked down at him condescendingly.
Even if Zhou Yanbai were given a third life, he would still be hopelessly stupid.
He was arrogant, selfish, and incorrigible. No matter what world he was in, he would never change his ways.
Even if he returned with the memories of this world, Zhou Yanbai would still be completely suppressed by Zhou Zhenghui.
This vast asset never belonged to him from the beginning.
Jiang Nanshu smiled and said, “I don’t have the ability to manipulate the financial market. Zhou Yanbai, people have to learn to accept their fate. Don’t always blame others for your mistakes and seek comfort. For example, you transferred your guilt after killing your brother onto me. You blamed me for taking away the attention your brother should have given you, which was why you have such an extreme personality. So you tortured me in various ways to make yourself feel better. You and I are not the same kind of people. I am a person, while you are a pile of trash.”
She clapped her hands lightly: “Take him away.”
Strong bodyguards burst through the door.
Jiang Nanshu rested her chin on her hand and looked at him with a smile.
Seeing his struggle and fear, she slowly said, “Let’s lock him up next to the chemical plant where I used to be. I don’t want you to die like this, so why don’t you walk the path I once walked again?”
Zhou Yanbai never imagined that the ‘path I once walked’ Jiang Nanshu spoke of was the torment he had inflicted on her over the past two years.
Every day, he had to kneel on the ground to repent. If he disobeyed, a single lash was the least of his worries. He had to endure the pain in his eyes to peel sesame seeds, and he wasn’t allowed to close his eyes and sleep until he finished peeling them.
He could only eat leftovers every day, and that was only if he was lucky. If he was unlucky, he had to eat even dog food.
After only three days, Zhou Yanbai couldn’t take it anymore.
Jiang Nanshu thought about it. She had endured two whole years; this was nothing compared to what she had experienced. It wasn’t enough.
