"Mr. Xi Cheng, I hope you know the meaning of coming here," asked San Zemin as Jiang Yuyan was still sitting quietly.

She was calm but cold as the person sitting in front of her was the one who killed her husband and there was nothing less could she think about than tormenting this person and making him suffer from the pain as in hell.

"I know and I am ready for it but as I said, I have a condition," Xi Cheng replied.

"You are in no place to put forward any condition," suddenly Jiang Yuyan spoke.

Xi Cheng looked at Jiang Yuyan politely as he spoke. "I know but this is what Lu Qiang did till now that I am asking for. I am sure there must be some reason he did it and kept the things only to him."

Jiang Yuyan gave out a deep sigh as the cold but calm words left her mouth.

"First, don't take my husband's name with your filthy mouth, second, what my husband followed, has nothing to do with me as I create my own rules, and third, don't try to get me to agree with your condition by using his name."

"Then, I have nothing to say. President Lu can do what she wants to do with me. I have nothing left to fight for," said Xi Cheng.

That day there was a sudden change in his personality from how he looked before. He looked like the person who lost everything and had no wish left to do anything. How can this man change so much and what could be the reason. These thoughts were going through the mind of Jiang Yuyan and the three men standing behind her.

Jiang Yuyan chuckled as she said, "When I thought to punish you by giving you pain in hell, why this sudden change?"

Xi Cheng didn't answer and she continued, "I am so disappointed in you. When I was waiting for you to beg me to let you go and scream your throat out with the pain I would give, you suddenly gave up. This is no fun."

"I am here and as I said, President Lu can do what she wishes for," Xi Cheng countered, not being affected by her words.

Jiang Yuyan thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you this one night and you have to decide on your own what your punishment should be…."

Saying she stopped but Xi Cheng was sitting calmly to finish her decree as he was sure she would not go easy on him.

Jiang Yuyan continued, "But the end of that punishment should be your death."

Xi Cheng nodded lightly as he accepted it. He was one experienced man who had seen the world and he could easily see through the person so it was nothing surprising for him.

Saying Jiang Yuyan got up from her chair and left as her men followed her. They were surprised their boss let go of the mastermind behind the accident and left his punishment on him when they were expecting their boss to torture him. Somewhere these three agreed with what she did and they could see their boss was not just a cruel beast when it came to revenge but she was sane enough to do the things in another way.

The way Xi Chang acted, they could see something was not right with him and he was willing to die but what, that was the question they wanted to find the answer for.

Seeing Jiang Yuyan and the other three came out, the assistant Li felt sweat covering his body and heart ready to jump out as he was anxious to think what these people must have done with his boss.

He immediately ran inside just to see his boss sitting in the chair motionlessly.

"Boss, are you okay?" Saying the assistant examined his boss from her head to toe.

"I am fine," Xi Cheng answered and it surprised assistant Li that those cruel people did nothing to his boss and let him be just like that.

"What is the meaning of this, boss," the assistant asked.

Xi Cheng got up from the chair and said, "That woman is crueler than anyone we had come across till now."

"What did she do?"

"Nothing."

"Then…."

"She knows how to give pain to a person without doing anything." Xi Cheng laughed a little as he mumbled, "It would have been better if she had killed me right here."

Xi Cheng stepped out and the assistant followed him not knowing what his boss was talking about. All he could think about was his boss's safety.

Xi Cheng went back home and he sent an assistant back. There was no one in-home and suddenly he felt empty though it was not the first time he was alone there. It was like that evil Xi Cheng disappeared suddenly somewhere and the person who was there was someone new.

Unknowingly, he stepped towards the staircase and went to Nixxxie's room. She was not there so he entered inside as he looked around noticing every single thing in her room. It was as if he was seeing it for the last time.

He went to her study table where one picture from her childhood days was kept in which she was with her late brother Xi Guo.

He stared at the picture for a while and remembered the day when he first came to this house with his mother. When he came, Song Meilin's cold sight welcomed him and his mother but there were two people in the family who came to him smiling.

"Are you our elder brother who will live with us from now on?" young Xi Guo asked as he was holding his sister's hand who was staring at the new person in their home with her bright and innocent eyes.

Xi Guo had a wide smile on his face, showing he was excited to have an elder brother while Nixxxie didn't know what was going on.

"Yes, I am your elder brother," Xi Cheng answered with the same bright smile. He was happy to see two lovely kids in the home with whom he could play though he was older than them.
