My life is ending, and my aloof CEO wife is taking revenge on me.

Chapter 155 Pleading for Mercy

The next day, I went back to Song Yafei with the amulet I had obtained.

Unexpectedly, when I returned to the villa by car, I found myself seeing Yu Chengliang's father there.

I haven't seen this person in a long time.

When I saw him, I couldn't help but frown, and even wanted to avoid him as if I hadn't seen him.

He didn't want to see me, so he suddenly rushed over and knelt down in front of me, his emotions running high.

He grabbed my leg, forcing me to stop. He pleaded with me, weeping, "Mr. Zhang, please have mercy and let Xiao Liang go."

I frowned in confusion. "You should talk to Song Yafei about your son's affairs, not me. I have never interfered in their business."

But he clearly took my words as a refusal and didn't listen to them at all; he just kept talking.

“Xiao Liang is still a child and doesn’t understand anything. He just thinks that President Song is kind to him because of love, and there’s really nothing else. He never thought of ruining your relationship with President Song. Please let him go.”

They kept begging me to let them go, but kept throwing mud at me, which made me impatient, and my tone became very bad.

"You think I'm easy to bully? So you only pick on the weak, is that it? But you need to understand, no matter what, I am Song Yafei's husband in name only."

"It's not impossible for me to do something to your son, to ruin his reputation or make him disappear. If you continue to bother me like this, you'd better be prepared to face the consequences."

Yu Chengliang's father was stunned, probably never expecting that I would be so tough.

What he didn't know was that the reason I didn't argue with Yu Chengliang in the past was because I thought Song Yafei's heart was with him.

Arguing or anything like that would only bring shame upon myself, so I'm unwilling to act like a clown and try to explain or fight for what's right.

But now that Song Yafei no longer favors him, why does he think I will continue to tolerate Yu Chengliang?

My constant forbearance gave them the wrong impression, making them mistakenly believe that I was weak and easily bullied.

Every time they appear, it reminds me of what happened before, ruining my pleasant mood.

It was precisely this time that they barged into my life and disturbed my peace of mind, so I took the opportunity to warn him.

"Tell him to never appear in front of me again, and not to try to do anything pointless to provoke me. Otherwise, even if Song Yafei does nothing, I can still ruin your son's reputation."

"Besides, Song Yafei made the decision for my sake. Why do you think I would oppose someone who is good to me for the sake of your son?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Song Yafei's car stopped at the door.

When she got out of the car, she was overjoyed to see me, but when she glanced at Yu Chengliang's father on the ground, she immediately frowned.

She immediately walked over to me, looked me up and down, and asked, "Are you alright?"

I shook my head.

She was afraid that Yu Chengliang's father would lay a hand on me.

I am very pleased with her change. In the same situation before, I'm afraid she would have simply ignored me and tolerated the harm Yu Chengliang had done to me.

But right now, she subconsciously showed concern for my situation, which made me realize how much she cared.

But Yu Chengliang's father didn't seem to notice her change. Seeing my strong attitude, he immediately pulled the same act again and hugged her leg.

"President Song, please, please spare Xiao Liang. He was only lusting after your kindness to her, which is why he had such improper thoughts. He didn't mean it. Please let him go."

Song Yafei is absolutely decisive in the business world. Now that she has made a decision, she will not hesitate any longer.

Without saying anything, she simply winked at the bodyguard next to her.

The bodyguards immediately stepped forward, pulled the person off the ground, and took them away.

As he was being taken away, he kept babbling, begging Song Yafei for forgiveness and trying to slander me, saying some nasty things that made both Song Yafei and me change color.

"Wait a moment!"

Song Yafei suddenly called out to the bodyguard, which made Yu Chengliang's father think that his plea had persuaded Song Yafei, and he smiled smugly.

The next second, Song Yafei's words threw him into an ice cellar, leaving him with no hope left.

"I'm warning you, whether it's you or Yu Chengliang, if you dare to appear before Zhang Tian again, the consequences will be far more severe than this. Take him away!"

Yu Chengliang's father's face turned ashen instantly. He dared not say another word and obediently followed the bodyguard away.

Song Yafei turned around, took my hand, and walked towards the villa together, glancing at me every now and then with concern.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

Song Yafei then asked me somewhat cautiously, "Are you feeling unwell?"

I think I felt uncomfortable when I saw Yu Chengliang's father.

But when she defended me without reservation, those feelings of unease and unhappiness were quickly replaced.

But I still have some questions: "What happened to Yu Chengliang? What did his father mean by that?"

Song Yafei didn't elaborate, "It's nothing, it's just that his father wasn't too willing to send him abroad for treatment."

"why?"

Under my persistent questioning, Song Yafei finally explained, "Yu Chengliang's condition is quite bad. The doctor diagnosed him with a terminal illness."

"If he recovers after going abroad this time, that would be great. But if he doesn't, he might never come back. His father has old-fashioned ideas and believes that one should return to one's roots after death, so he has always disagreed and made a fuss."

What I didn't expect was that Yu Chengliang really did have a terminal illness. If even Song Yafei said so, then it must be true.

I initially thought it was just a tactic he used to gain favor, but I never expected...

Both were terminally ill, yet they were forced to leave their hometowns and go to a completely unfamiliar place before they died. It's easy to understand why Yu Chengliang's father was so opposed to it.

For a moment, I felt a pang of pity.

It's not about forgiving his past actions, but simply about sympathy between fellow patients.

He just wanted me to plead for him, but I really couldn't bring myself to say it.

Yu Chengliang's past actions are still vivid in my mind. The pain I've endured over the past few years, the constant provocations, framing, and slander he's inflicted upon me, and the ease with which I can say I forgive him—I simply cannot do it.

Perhaps I was too engrossed in thinking, because I didn't answer Song Yafei's question immediately, which made her wonder if I was unhappy about it.

"Are you upset about this? Don't worry, I won't see him again. I'll send him to a remote place to recuperate."

“Although my mother arranged for him to be by my side, his companionship during my most difficult years was genuine. I can’t just ignore him. Can you understand me?”

I can understand it, especially when facing a terminally ill cancer patient.
