Chapter 1508: Extremely Haggard
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xirong Ziye was very silent, so much so that it made the people around him uncomfortable.
His silence was unusual too. He seemed to be lacking some presence, as though he did not care about anything at all.
Even after he was discharged from the hospital, he spent most of his time alone in the White House. It was as if that place was where he had left his feelings behind.
However, he did not live in decadence either. He continued with his work as usual and took heed of all the things that the doctor had told him. He also handled the affairs of the country well.
His life was business as usual and very normal. However, the abnormalities were obvious in many aspects of his life.
Xirong Ziye’s attitude towards everyone seemed dull, and he was neither warm nor repulsive with the people around him. Of course, the Xiamu family was the exception.
Xirong Ziye had banned all the Xiamu family members from being within a ten-meter radius from him.
Xiamu Qingyan was excluded totally. At first, Xiamu Qingyan made a ruckus over this. However, every time she made a ruckus, one of the Xiamu family’s businesses would run into a problem. If she made a ruckus twice, two of the Xiamu family’s businesses would run into problems.
After making a ruckus for more than a dozen times, the shops belonging to the Xiamu family either closed down or ran into trouble.
Xiamu Qingyan finally realized how repulsed Xirong Ziye felt towards her.
The people within the Xiamu family knew that this was all caused by Xiamu Qingyan and hated her guts.
Within the family, many people relied on the Xiamu family for a living. Now, they all hated Xiamu Qingyan and talked behind her back.
“Miss Xiamu really overestimated herself and kept pestering the President.”
“Exactly. She thought she’s well-loved by many, but the President had totally no interest in her.”
“It’s precisely because he had no interest that she made a ruckus and threatened him with her life. Why is she not dead yet, huh?”
“The President even held a press conference to say that he already had someone he loved, but she still went to cozy up to him shamelessly.”
“Look how great things are now. She brought this all upon the Xiamu family.”
“If I were the President, I wouldn’t take an interest in her either. She looks too fake, and she’s too clingy. Look at that face of hers. It looks so unnatural.”
“Exactly!”
…
Everyone was bad-mouthing Xiamu Qingyan. It could be said that the people who liked and supported her now were too, too little. It was as if everyone could not stand the way she did things.
She was just a woman. The President already made things clear to her, but she still cried and threatened him with her life. She even attempted suicide to pester and cling on to him.
The citizens truly sympathized with the President. They felt that Xiamu Qingyan had gone too far, and any person would be annoyed by this.
Xirong Ziye felt guilty towards Xiamu Qingyan at first. After all, everything was caused by him. However, he was too vexed and annoyed by her constant pestering, so the guilt he felt slowly disappeared.
Many citizens in Country E started to feel disdain towards the Xiamu family as well. As the Xiamu family spiraled into decline, the other noble families began to beat down on them as well.
Xirong Ziye did not interfere in this matter.
To sum up Xirong Ziye’s current lifestyle, it could be said that he was just living for the sake of living.
As long as he knew Bai Yaoyao was living well in some part of the world, he would continue living his life well and make Country E prosper and grow.
If anything happened to Bai Yaoyao, he felt that he would probably not be able to live on either.
The second time Xirong Ziye was hospitalized, he did not tell anyone. However, Zhuang Susu called him out of her own accord and said she wanted to visit him.
Xirong Ziye wanted to reject her at first. However, Zhuang Susu said she had urgent matters to speak to him, so he decided to meet her.
Seeing how haggard Xirong Ziye looked, Zhuang Susu really could not bear to see him being like this. “Why do you do this to yourself? I almost didn’t recognize you.”
