In fact, Yang Rui regretted it long before Wang Tianxue divorced him.
Wang Tianxue was gentle and virtuous, decisive in her actions. Whether it was household matters or work, she could handle them all.
Although she was a bit forceful, being with Wang Tianxue made life truly carefree for Yang Rui.
Not only at home, but even at work, Wang Tianxue could assist him.
Not to mention, Wang Tianxue bore him a son.
The more chaotic life became with Tang Lili, the more Yang Rui remembered how good Wang Tianxue was.
After Tang Lili left, Yang Rui heard that Wang Tianxue was still alone, and his thoughts stirred.
He first went to Xiaolongâs kindergarten secretly to watch him, buying toys and treats to please his son.
After being discovered by Wang Tianxue, she scolded him harshly and told the teacher to prevent Xiaolong from having any contact with this man.
Not only did Yang Rui not back down, upon seeing Wang Tianxue, he cried and begged for her forgiveness, claiming that Xiaolong could not be without a father and needed a complete family.
How could Wang Tianxue listen to such nonsense?
The second time Yang Rui sought Wang Tianxue, she immediately had security throw him out without a word.
She even reported it to the police once afterward.
After understanding the context, the police warned Yang Rui not to harass Wang Tianxue and her son again, or they would handle him according to the law.
This finally made Yang Rui quiet down for a while.
It was thought that he was afraid, but he was actually holding back a big move.
"So he wants to use his death to force you back into marriage?"
Lin Chuxia gritted her teeth.
What kind of filth dares to dream such spring and autumn dreams?
Wang Tianxue sneered, "He knows I wouldnât care about his life or death, but I wouldnât let the clothing market business be affected."
Furthermore, Yang Rui probably didnât know that she was no longer at the clothing market.
............
The jeep hadnât even reached the clothing market when it got stuck.
The road was crowded with people flocking towards the clothing market.
Lin Chuxia had to park the car by the roadside. By the time she reached the bottom of the market building, customers inside had already been cleared out.
Before Qin Jianjun called Wang Tianxue, he had already called the police, and they had arrived on the scene, setting up a police line around the market.
Qin Jianjun first saw Lin Chuxia and hurried over, "Fourth Aunt."
"Howâs the situation now?"
"The person is on the rooftop, and the police have already gone up to negotiate. That person is very emotional and demands to see Manager Wang; otherwise, he will jump down. The police are still in a standoff with him."
"If he wants to jump, let him jump. Find a deserted place to do it. Heâs only going to ruin himself; does he have to drag others with him?" Wang Tianxue said angrily.
Apparently, Yang Rui took advantage of this mentality to run to the rooftop of the clothing building.
As flashlights flickered, Lin Chuxia saw a few people in the crowd holding cameras.
Qin Jianjun sighed, "This situation might be more impactful than we imagined. Reporters have already caught wind of it. I just received a call from the deputy mayor, telling us to stabilize the mood of the person at all costs to prevent him from jumping off the building, as it would affect the whole of Yan City. I think the police station also got such instructions," hence the long standoff.
"Letâs go up and have a look," Lin Chuxia said.
Since they were here, they had to see what was going on.
Holding her child, Lin Chuxia looked at Gu Peng beside her, thought for a moment, and handed the child over to Qin Jianjun.
"Gu Peng, come up with us too."
Gu Peng nodded and followed closely behind Lin Chuxia and Wang Tianxue.
Qin Jianjun glanced at them with a bit more interest.
At the entrance of the market, several policemen stopped them.
After stating their identities and learning it was the market owner and the person the man upstairs was looking for, they were quickly let through.
One policeman led the way while explaining the situation upstairs.
Their clothing market only had three floors, and since the rooftop had a terrace where employees could relax and engage in activities, the door to the rooftop was always open.
However, this door was very hidden, so ordinary customers wouldnât come this way, yet unexpectedly, it provided a way for someone with intentions.
Lin Chuxia thought to herself that they should seal this door in the future, and as for employeesâ relaxation activities, they could be held in the plaza in front of the market.
As soon as they reached the rooftop, they saw the two sides in a standoff.
Several policemen stood not far from the rooftop door, while Yang Rui was at the edge of the rooftop.
Lin Chuxia couldnât help but sneer upon seeing his demeanor.
The perimeter of the rooftop was about one meter thirty high, and Yang Rui clutched the railing with one arm, threatening the police that if they moved another step, heâd jump over.
Wang Tianxue was even more direct. Upon seeing him, she shouted, "Yang Rui, if youâre going to jump, donât jump here. Three floors down wonât kill you, and youâll just disgust everyone when youâre half-dead. Even if you die, no one will collect your body. Better buy a ticket to go feed the sharks at the seaside; itâs clean and spare the disgust. If you donât have money, Iâll buy the ticket for you."
Yang Rui was visibly agitated upon seeing Wang Tianxue, "Tianxue, youâre finally here. I knew you wouldnât ignore me. Tianxue, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time, and Iâll be your servant for the rest of my life, never make you angry again, Xiao Long is getting older, he canât be without a father, heâll be looked down upon by classmates. I promise, Iâll listen to you and treat you and Xiao Long well..."
"Yang Rui, youâre mistaken. With a shameful dad like you, Iâd rather Xiao Long have no dad. Being looked down upon by classmates only happens if he doesnât have a strong enough mom. With my current conditions, who would dare look down on my son? Even Xiaolong would despise someone like you."
Yang Ruiâs face stiffened, and suddenly he roared, "So you really want to watch me die? Wang Tianxue, I never thought youâd be so heartless. We were married for so many years, and thereâs always been affection. Except for the affair with Tang Lili, when have I wronged you? I just made a mistake every man makes, and you want to drive me to the end. Youâve sabotaged me at work and set me up to have nothing. I never blamed you. Isnât that enough? Even if Iâm at fault, havenât you let off steam by now? I only want to acknowledge my son. Xiaolong is my son, my only son..."
The police saw that Yang Ruiâs emotions were getting more intense and quickly signaled to Wang Tianxue.
Wang Tianxue also knew that, regardless of the situation, they couldnât push Yang Rui to jump from here.
Taking a deep breath, she said, "What do you want? Reconciliation is impossible. I havenât loved you for a long time..."
"No, it canât be..." Yang Rui shouted excitedly, "You said youâd love me for a lifetime, you canât go back on your word. Even if love is gone, we can cultivate it again. If you agree to remarry me and change Wang Xiaolongâs name to Yang Xiaolong, Iâll obediently go with you, otherwise... otherwise Iâll jump from here..."
