I really hadn't expected this. Xiang Kai was a complete bastard.
Even after dying, he still wanted to divorce his wife and transfer his assets.
If he acted like this after death, he must have planned it while he was alive. Pan Xiaorou had probably noticed his intentions, which was why she had sent someone to kill him and Tao Xiaoyu.
You could hardly blame her for wanting him dead.
"That animal!"
Pan Xiaorou clenched her fists in fury, her eyes reddening and her voice choking up. "I spent all those years with him. When he first started out, it was my parents who invested in him. Without my family's help, how could he have achieved what he did today?"
"Wanting to divorce me was bad enough, but he even wanted to transfer his assets to keep some other vixen!"
Seeing Pan Xiaorou panting with rage, Song Xiaotian hurried to comfort her. "Try to let it go. He's dead now, so he can't transfer anything. All of this, along with the entire Jiangling Group, belongs to you. I suppose that's his punishment."
The more Pan Xiaorou spoke, the angrier she became, until tears spilled down her face.
I crouched there awkwardly and helped her pick up the gold bars.
"What worries me is... he wanted to divorce me so badly. Now that he's dead, will he hurt me...?" After calming down, Pan Xiaorou grew frightened again.
"It's hard to say," I said. "That depends on whether he ever wanted to kill you while he was alive..."
This was a rather sensitive subject. After all, Pan Xiaorou had wanted him dead.
We hadn't found Xiang Kai's yin soul in the study. I figured he had already left, so I was about to head out and then go to the front gate
