After a tragic death and rebirth, the iceberg president turned crazy

The neon lights dimmed, illuminating his gentle and handsome face. Behind Ji Ze was the endless night and lights of a bustling city. He lowered his eyes slightly, looking forward with his ink-like calm eyes. The emerald green diamonds on the crown reflected a dazzling glow under the light.

Ji Ze hugged Lin Man tightly, as if he wanted to hold her in his arms.

"Manman, it's great to have you. I thought I would never see you again. I always thought my childhood was miserable. I didn't understand why God teased me like this, and why my mother hated me so much. She wished I would die. She said that when she saw my face, she would think of my father. I thought about dying during the financial crisis. Maybe this is the best ending for me. It can save everyone and make my mother happy."

"But I didn't die. It was A Yan who saved me. Maybe I wasn't meant to die. God left me here because he thought my sins had been paid off and he should give me some reward. I know I've let A Yan down. When I was in Italy, I went through a period of time when I felt hopeless. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid I'll never see you again. For me, that would be a life worse than death, so I held on. I can still see you, hug you, and be with you. I have no regrets in death."

Ji Ze slowly closed his eyes, his voice filled with relief at surviving the disaster.

His girl is still there.

"Ji Ze, I'm sorry..." Lin Man took a step back.

Pulling away from the warm chest in his arms, her heart seemed to be burning. Before she finished speaking, Ji Ze smiled bitterly, "Manman, let me spend your birthday with you first, okay?"

"I don't know if there will be another chance in the future, and I don't know if I will still be the one standing next to you tomorrow, but I am lucky to have this moment. Come, let me help you put it on."

Ji Ze's voice was a little choked. He raised his hand to take the crown from the gift box, held it up with both hands and put it on Lin Man's soft hair. Lin Man avoided his gaze but did not move. She let Ji Ze approach her and put the crown on her.

"So beautiful, and so familiar."

Lin Man looked at the natural crystal in front of her, which reflected the blurry images of her and Ji Ze, but the dazzling crown was clearer.

Ji Ze reached out and brushed down Lin Man's hair. "You saw it in my office a long time ago. This is a gift I prepared for you a long time ago. I didn't expect you to still remember it."

Lin Man looked at the dazzling jewels in front of her and was a little dazed. "I mean, I saw it earlier."

"Really?" Ji Ze chuckled. "That's possible. You've always liked these sparkling things. When you were a child, you liked cellophane. When you grew up, you also liked these glowing gems."

Ji Ze's skilled tone made Lin Man look up suddenly. "How do you know about my childhood?" She changed the subject and looked at Ji Ze's gentle face, as if she remembered something. "It's you! The little boy who was always covered in bruises and often ran away hungry?"

"You remember me."

There was unspeakable joy in Ji Ze's voice. He stepped forward and hugged Lin Man again. The cold wind was howling around them, but his heart was warm.

"I remember, but I didn't expect that person to be you." Lin Man suddenly remembered something, "Ji Ze, you helped me so recklessly, you didn't recognize me from the beginning, did you?"

Lin Man and Ji Ze sat on the high stone steps of the rooftop. Lin Man's legs were dangling in the air. The light shone on her fair face and then fell from the crown on her head, as if a goddess had descended to earth. She looked back at Ji Ze, and her smiling gaze almost made Ji Ze's heart skip a beat.

"Yeah, I guess so." He opened the can in his hand, tilted his head back and took a sip, then suddenly laughed easily, "Manman, you know what? This moment is one of the few happy moments in my life."

"You saved me time and time again, mentally and physically. I feel so relaxed and happy every moment with you. You seem to have a magic that can make me forget all my worries. I really can't live without you. Don't abandon me, okay?"

Ji Ze tilted his head to look at Lin Man, held her hand, his gentle eyes were filled with mist, and his tone was faintly pleading.

A cool breeze blew by.

Lin Man regained consciousness. She pulled her hand back and looked at the can in her hand. "Sorry... I can't agree to this."

Ji Ze stared blankly, his eyes red as he looked at Kong Liang's hand, the corners of his lips moved in a bitter smile, "Why?"

"Jize, we are no longer children. We can't do things without considering the consequences. There are too many people against us. Maybe it's better for both of us to separate. Also, I don't want you to get hurt because of me. You are fine. Even if we never meet again, as long as we know that each other is fine, that's enough."

"The person you said was against us is A Yan?" Ji Ze suddenly raised his head with a hurt look.

Lin Man tilted her head to the side and shook her head, "Not only that, I know you won't be with Ruan Rou, but what about your mother? Even if she treats you badly, you still hope to get her approval, but she is very opposed to us being together. I don't want you to have any more grudges. I hope you are fine."

"Ji Ze, thank you for everything you have done for me. I like this birthday present very much. This is also my first birthday in more than 20 years." Lin Man's voice was a little choked. She stood up but did not look back. "But I am serious about what I said. Let's stop here. Take care."

Lin Man did not look back until she left the rooftop. She was afraid that if she looked back, she would not be able to bear to leave. After learning that Ji Ze was a boy she had known before, Lin Man was indeed moved. Even if there was no love, they could still snuggle up to each other and keep each other warm like they did when they were children.

But it’s not possible now. There are too many obstacles between them. There is no need to make things difficult for themselves. Perhaps never seeing each other again is the best ending for them.

After Lin Man left, Ji Ze looked at her from the rooftop, his eyes dimmed, his bottom was tinged with self-mockery, and his bitter smile did not reach his eyes. There were beer cans all over the floor at his feet. Seeing this, the assistant came out and said, "Mr. Ji, I beg you not to drink anymore. The doctor said your body..."

"According to the plan." Ji Ze said in a low voice, clenching the can in his hand, allowing the sharp bottle to cut his hand and bleed.

The cool breeze made Lin Man curl her fingers involuntarily. The quiet jungle made her tighten her coat.

Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed, and Lin Man subconsciously stretched out her hand to block her eyes. Her body swayed, and the dazzling crown on her head was about to fall. The dazzling light made Pei Yan's figure clearly reflected in Lin Man's sight.

Pei Yan was sitting in the car. Through the half-open window, his dark and deep gaze passed by Lin Man. The dazzling lights disappeared. Lin Man put down her hand, turned around to look at the speeding car, and turned back home.

Since she no longer needed to go to Ji's, Lin Man put all her energy into the company. She did not forget that she still owed Pei Yan a huge sum of money. Although he did not ask her for the money now, it would be troublesome if he suddenly remembered it.

Early in the morning, Lin Man and Xiaojun were sitting together drinking porridge.

A sweet voice came from the old TV in the breakfast shop, "Welcome everyone to the Voice of Radio column. Ji Ze, the head of Ji's Group, has held a press conference early this morning to officially announce that the bankruptcy application submitted by Ji's Group is now in the court hearing stage."

Lin Man paused while drinking porridge. She looked at Gan Tian on the TV, who was smiling at the column expert beside her. "Welcome, Mr. Zhang. May I ask, Mr. Zhang... Ji's Group was once the leading enterprise in Hai City, tied with Pei's Group for the first and second place. It has completely fallen to the bottom with the disappearance of President Ji's Group. So why didn't the situation improve at all two days after President Ji's Group appeared, and now it suddenly announced bankruptcy news?"

"Xiaojun!" Lin Man looked at the TV, her heart stagnating, "Look, what's going on?"

Xiaojun followed Lin Man's line of sight, slowly approached Lin Man and whispered, "I heard that Jiang Xuzhi's Longteng International lost the bet with Pei Group. Now not only do all of Jiang Xuzhi's properties in Hai City belong to Pei, but he also owes Pei a large sum of money that he can't pay back. I heard that Gan Tian sold all her jewelry to support Jiang Xuzhi, but she still couldn't pay it back. She is insolvent! Without Longteng International's investment, her resources are now completely downgraded. Look, she has become a TV host."

Xiaojun curled his lips.

"No! Look at the words above. Ji's bankrupt?"

"What!" Xiaojun turned around quickly, his eyes suddenly widened, "What's going on? How could the Ji family go bankrupt? Could it be that Gan Tian did something and said that on purpose?"

Hearing that Xiaojun didn't know, Lin Man was no longer in the mood to drink porridge. "I'm leaving first. Please help me look after the company."

Lin Man stood up and walked while talking on the phone. There were few cars on the roadside and she couldn't get a taxi. A black Maybach was parked on the side of the road. The dark and translucent glass was a little dazzling, so Lin Man stepped back.

No one answered Ji Ze's call. She looked at her watch and saw that Tiangang Bay was not too far away. Lin Man planned to walk over to take a look. After walking two blocks, Ji Ze called back.

"Sorry, Manman. I was just dealing with some things and just saw your call..."

"Let's not talk about this for now. I just saw that Ji's filed for bankruptcy. What happened? Are you okay?"

Ji Ze paused, then suddenly chuckled, "Man Man, you rejected me and left suddenly last time. I was originally very sad, but now you care about me, which makes me very happy. I'm fine. I plan to give up Ji's and leave here. Ji's has filed for bankruptcy and will be sold to Pei's at the lowest price. I feel very sorry for A Yan, and this is all I can do now."

"Ji Ze..."

"Don't worry, I've made up my mind. It's fine this way now. I have no more worries. No one will stop us now. After being with you, I realized that the things I have been pursuing were originally false."

"Manman, you have seen my determination. Are you willing to leave with me now?"

Ji Ze's voice lingered in her ears. Lin Man clenched her palms, then slowly loosened them, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Ji Ze suddenly heard Lin Man's voice. He was in disbelief for a moment. He said happily, "Okay! Man Man, see you at the airport in an hour."

"In such a hurry?" Lin Man was slightly surprised.

"Well, since you have decided to leave, let's avoid any more trouble. Manman, I know your home is in Haishi and you have feelings for Haishi. When everyone here forgets about us, I will bring you back."

"it is good."

Lin Man actually didn't have any feelings for Hai Shi, but she didn't know why, she felt creepy when she saw Jiang Xuzhi, and she didn't want to stay for a short time.

What's more, she originally wanted to leave, and now Ji Ze just gave her an opportunity. What's more, Pei Yan suddenly went crazy and kept holding on to her. When she left and came back, Pei Yan would probably have forgotten her long ago.

After making an agreement with Ji Ze, Lin Man quickly called Xiaojun.

"Manman! Are you really leaving? Why so sudden?" Xiaojun couldn't digest such sudden news.

"Yes." Lin Man quickly stuffed clothes into the suitcase at home. "I'm only away for a while. Please help me take care of the company. When I go abroad, I will send you my new phone number. If you have anything, please contact me at any time. I will pick you up to travel abroad when I am settled."

Xiaojun was in a very low mood, and it took Lin Man a long time to comfort him.

"Boss Pei, Ji's has declared bankruptcy. Boss Ji seems to be interested in giving Ji's to you."

"Don't say anything if it's useless." Pei Yan's eyes did not move, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.

"Yes! Mr. Pei, Mr. Ji has already left, and Ms. Lin's car is already on the way to the airport."

"Call her."

He Sheng felt a chill on his forehead when he heard the beeping sound. "Boss Pei, Miss Lin has blocked me. Do you want me to call you from a different number?"

Pei Yan looked out the window, his expression was so gloomy that it was hard to tell his face. He was stroking a string of Buddhist beads in his hands, and a coldness emanated from his whole body.

"Boss Pei, do you need me to call the airport?"

Pei Yan didn't say anything. He took out his cell phone and called Lin Man. The sudden ringtone made Lin Man's heart shrink suddenly. She stroked her throbbing eyelids with her right hand and forced herself to calm her restless heart.

"Where?" The phone was picked up.

Pei Yan's low and hoarse voice sounded. Lin Man drank a sip of water and looked towards the airport not far away. "In the car, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Pei Yan had a calm expression. There was warm tea on the table. His slender hands held up the teacup. The mist was so thick that it was hard to tell his expression. "Lin Man, do you remember what you promised me?"

Lin Man was speechless as she looked at the half-open car window. "Remember, you asked me to break up with Ji Ze, and I agreed. The text message was sent in front of you. Are you so worried? You come to ask me every few days." Lin Man was flipping through the magazine in her hand and felt that Pei Yan was very boring.

Suddenly, Pei Yan chuckled softly, "Very good, you still remember."

His voice became colder and colder, his breath became deeper and deeper, and the surroundings were filled with a cold and oppressive feeling that made people tremble all over.

Lin Man closed the magazine without knowing why. She was about to speak when she heard Pei Yan say, "Today is the last day of the cool-off period for divorces. Come to me at the third intersection of Changxun Street and we'll get the divorce certificate. The agreement remains the same as before."
