Chapter 1 Scumbag and bitch

On New Year's Eve in 1995, it was a land of ice and snow outside. The whole world was covered in white, and it was beautiful. However, the atmosphere inside the house was in sharp contrast to the outside world.

The woman lying on the hard bed was as pale as a piece of white paper, without any blood at all. The blue and white hospital gown she wore covered her already thin body like a large robe. At this moment, she was staring at the three people standing beside the bed with empty eyes.

"Xia Wanyang, look at you. Even though you're this sick, you're still so pitiful. Tsk tsk, no wonder so many men were obsessed with you back then."

Fang Zhaodi leaned on Li Wenzhuo and looked back and forth at the frail beauty sitting on the bed.

Xia Wanyang didn't even look at her. She turned to the man next to her and said, "Li Wenzhuo, you've already gotten everything you wanted. Can't you just let me go?"

Seeing her emotionless eyes, Li Wenzhuo suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her hair, "Xia Wanyang, you have been married to me for twenty years, but you don't have me in your heart at all, right?"

Xia Wanyang smiled charmingly. Even though she looked neither human nor ghost now, she was still so lively and beautiful when she smiled.

"Li Wenzhuo, when you begged me to marry you in order to return to the city, you knew very well that I didn't like you. We have been husband and wife for twenty years, so what? Have you ever gotten me? My body and my heart are not something you can touch!"

Fang Zhaodi looked at her beloved man shaking with anger and slapped the face that made her jealous for half her life, "Xia Wanyang, what situation do you think you are in now? You are begging Wen Zhuo, how dare you be so arrogant?"

Xia Wanyang wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked up at Fang Zhaodi, "Fang Zhaodi, you were the one who pushed me into the river, right? Then you led me to suspect Chen Shuyun. I was so stupid that I was fooled by you with such poor acting skills!"

"So what if it was me? I also tell you that I was the one who called the people who were watching at that time. If I hadn't forced you like this, how could you have married Wen Zhuo? How could the two of us go back to the city?" Fang Zhaodi said proudly.

Li Wenzhuo took back Xia Wanyang's hand and stretched his expensive suit. "It's impossible to let you go. Your father's suicide note has been taken away by your brother. I will give you one third of your family's property. You must not die. It's not over until I get your share."

Xia Wanyang sneered, "You are indeed born poor and only care about those little things outside your body."

Li Xiaoxian said impatiently, "Mom and Dad, why did you call me here? What's so good about this damn woman? Isn't it good for the three of us to be at home during the New Year?"

Li Wenzhuo came back to his senses and remembered the purpose of his visit today. "Xia Wanyang, write a letter to your brother now and ask him to give me your share."

Xia Wanyang tidied her hair and got into the cold bed.

Fang Zhaodi was irritated by her attitude. She reached out and lifted the quilt, pulling Xia Wanyang up. "Xia Wanyang, didn't you hear me when I asked you to write a letter? Your parents are gone, what right do you have to be so arrogant?"

Xia Wanyang closed her eyes and said nothing. Fang Zhaodi's chest rose and fell with anger. She turned her head and said to the father and daughter, "My dear daughter, go out with Dad and wait for Mom. Mom has something to tell her."

"Wenzhuo, please go out and wait for me. I have a way to make her write the letter obediently."

After the two of them left, Fang Zhaodi smiled sinisterly, "Xia Wanyang, you don't know yet, do you? Your good father didn't die of illness. It was Li Wenzhuo who poisoned him little by little over a period of nearly ten years. When your celestial mother found out the truth, she was so angry that she died. How dare you sit here and beg Wenzhuo to let you go?"

Seeing Xia Wanyang's shocked expression, Fang Zhaodi continued proudly: "I advise you to write quickly, otherwise Wen Zhuo's patience will run out, and your brothers..."

Xia Wanyang suddenly felt ridiculous. She had played a good hand of cards badly, not only harming her father and mother, but also allowing such a pair of beastly scumbags and bitches to enjoy everything that should have belonged to her and him.

When I brought Li Wenzhuo back to the city, my parents advised me that he was not a good man and that it didn't matter if they had been married in the countryside. If they got divorced, they could just pretend that nothing had happened and start all over again. But I watched Li Wenzhuo kneeling outside the door for two days to get my parents' approval. My fleeting feeling of pity ultimately hurt my parents and my own life.

Oh, my life has been so ridiculous in the past few decades. Why didn’t I be bolder and express my feelings bravely? Why didn’t I listen to my parents’ advice? I obviously had no feelings for Li Wenzhuo, but we had been husband and wife for so many years. Why did I indulge Li Wenzhuo’s little family outside for so many years and imprison myself, making him more and more greedy and eventually killing my father!

Xia Wanyang hated them so much that she wanted to kill them immediately, but she couldn't do it. She had been imprisoned in this mental hospital for nearly eight years and could not get out of here. Every doctor and nurse had taken benefits from Li Wenzhuo and would not let her leave.

Suddenly, Xia Wanyang opened the drawer, took out the medicine she had secretly saved, stuffed it into her mouth, picked up the cup and drank a few sips of water. By the time Fang Zhaodi reacted, she had already swallowed it all!

"Fang Zhaodi, forget it. I won't write it. You can only dream of getting my property!"

"What did you eat?" Fang Zhaodi asked nervously.

"You let the doctors and nurses force me to take the medicine every day. Don't you want me to die slowly? Haha, as you wish, I will take these medicines all at once. I don't have to die slowly. I will go to my parents to atone for my sins soon. You should be careful when you go out next time, because even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go!"

Fang Zhaodi was anxious. Li Wenzhuo had said that her brothers would not give out the property without seeing her in person or a handwritten letter. Now that she was dead, wouldn't they never be able to get the property?

Fang Zhaodi stepped forward, pinched her chin, and put her fingers into Xia Wanyang's mouth, "Spit it out, you bitch, you..."

Before he could finish his words, the door was opened with a bang, and the sound of Li Xiaoxian howling like a ghost was heard outside the door. Fang Zhaodi also rushed out when she heard the crying.

Xia Wanyang raised her eyes and looked towards the door. It was the person she had hidden in her heart for twenty years.

"Zhang Shiye, why are you..."

He stared into her eyes, his scarlet eyes filled with reluctance and despair. Even his usually cold and arrogant voice became a little hoarse at this moment. "Xia Wanyang, is this the life you chose? Why aren't you living well?"

Xia Wanyang could no longer hold back her tears. The overwhelming pain seemed to sweep over her whole body. She had never broken down like this before. Her tears fell on the cold ground. The emotions that she had just held back in front of Fang Zhaodi burst out at this moment.

"Zhang Shiye, I regret it so much, I was terribly wrong!"

His heart ached as if it were being stabbed by a knife, and tears could not stop flowing down, "Wan Yang, please don't be like this, I beg you..."

Xia Wanyang walked forward and threw herself into his arms, feeling his strong heartbeat. Only then did she feel that everything she had dreamed of over the years had truly come true.
