Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 999: Chapter 998: Greed Knows No Bounds—The Snake That Tried to Swallow an Elephant Will Burst Eventually

At the alley near the street corner.

’Slap—’ A loud slap echoed even at the alley entrance. Those on the street outside craned their necks to peek into the alley, only to find a husband beating his wife.

Ma Zongyu slapped hard, and angrily said, ”You damn bitch, don’t push your luck! Hoarding money, are you planning to die? Buying a tomb or a grave? If you don’t spend it on me, who else are you gonna spend it on?”

Ding Suzhu was dazed by the slap, her previously neat hair now a mess. Her head tilted, she couldn’t react for a long time. She never imagined Ma Zongyu would be so ruthless in hitting her...

For so many years, he hadn’t raised his hand again, but now, because of money, it’s become such a mess. Is there nothing between them besides money?

All these thoughts exploded in Ding Suzhu’s mind; utter despair couldn’t even begin to describe her feelings...

This might be what true hopelessness tastes like, something most people couldn’t comprehend.

Ma Zongyu, growing more audacious, continued, ”I’m telling you this now! In this life, don’t ever think about leaving me! Even if you die, you’ll die before me!”

Ever since marrying Ding Suzhu, Ma Zongyu’s life really went from ground to heaven. Not only did he leave the countryside, but he also transformed into a member of a wealthy family. Old friends now looked at him with envy in their eyes.

Ma Zongyu got used to such a life and even made it clear to himself that he would live this way from now on, never wanting to return to the ghost-like life he had before.

Thus, he frantically took whatever he could, for a better, more luxurious future!

However, he thought Ding Suzhu was easy to deal with, never considering how much hardship the woman who had been with him for so many years endured, or how they managed to have all this.

Everything was forcibly taken as a matter of course, as if he had no faults at all! The only one at fault seemed to be this much-suffering and pitiable wife who had silently endured by his side for years, truly a case of adding weight to her burden without reason.

Ding Suzhu completely broke down in tears, recalling all the past events in her mind, furious, she said, ”Ma Zongyu, you’re not a human, just a beast in human skin without a shred of conscience...”

All her dreams, in that moment, were shattered by this man, who destroyed their future, destroyed all her hopes.

The once strong marriage, now laid flat and burned to ashes, nothing growing anymore.

Ding Caiyan smugly said, ”Old Ma has already gone above and beyond, sister, what more do you want? Let me tell you, don’t be too greedy. As the saying goes, the greedy snake tries to swallow an elephant and eventually bursts.”

Greedy, me?

Ding Suzhu wiped away her tears and said coldly, ”Am I the greedy one, or are you the greedy ones? Everything you’re eating, drinking, and using is all what I earned with my hard work, and now... you shamelessly get involved with each other and still want my money? I’m telling you, you’re dreaming!”

Finally pushed to this point, when a rabbit is cornered, it bites. Moreover, Ding Suzhu is a living, breathing woman, flesh and blood.

Ding Caiyan, seizing the opportunity, said hastily, ”Old Ma, look, she admitted it, she just wants to keep all the money to herself and not leave you a penny. You can’t let her get away with this.”

”Ding Suzhu, you...” Ma Zongyu’s eyes widened in anger. He never dreamed that the usually submissive Ding Suzhu would turn out like this.
