377: "Host, Wang Juan is dead."

Yan Can: "How did you die?"

She had imagined many ways Wang Juan could die, and almost all of them involved Yan Jian.

377: "He was beaten to death by Yan Jian's wild punches."

Yan Can was busy with exams and hadn't seen those two people for a long time, but she knew everything about them.

Yan Wan suffers a miscarriage, Gu Chen causes a medical dispute, and Young Master Gu rises to power...

One link after another.

She was present at every event.

She could imagine the fear and despair that Yan Jian and his wife felt when the Gu Group's apology press conference aired.

Yan Jianhui killed Wang Juan probably to quell Gu Chen's anger, ease their relationship, and allow Gu Chen, the "demoted crown prince," to continue to act as his protector.

Yan Can said, "He's miscalculated. Gu Chen won't let him off the hook."

377: "But Gu Chen bailed him out."

After Wang Juan died, neighbors who heard the commotion called the police, who arrested Yan Jian, but he was released after only one night.

The person who vouched for him was Gu Chen.

As for the murderer, they attributed it to a debt collector who had mysteriously died at home.

Yan Can chuckled, "Baby, you're too naive."

The phone suddenly rang.

Zong Lian's voice came from the other side.

"Yan Can, Wang Juan is dead."

Upon hearing the news, his first thought was to inform Yan Can, unaware that Yan Can had already learned of the situation before him.

Yan Can didn't deliberately show surprise; she simply said, "I understand."

Her reaction was indifferent, and Zong Lian was not disappointed. He added, "Yan Jian was taken away by Gu Chen, but Young Master Gu found a witness and went to the police station."

Yan Can: "He's going to fight Gu Chen?"

Zong Lian said, "Perhaps."

He stopped mentioning those annoying people and asked Yan Can with concern, "Did you sleep well last night? I'll be back tonight and have dinner with you."

Yan Can asked him if he had finished dealing with the matter.

Zong Lian finished speaking, but it was unclear whether his words were true or false.

He said, "This is the last joint exam. After the exam, I'll take you out for two days to relax. When you come back, you'll go straight into battle."

Yan Can almost laughed when she heard this, "Zong Lian, what parent would take their child out to play before the college entrance exam?"

He would urge her to go out and have fun every few days.

They would also constantly urge her to skip class or take leave.

The idea was to let her experience all the joys of student life.

"Parents?" Zong Lian smiled and corrected Yan Can, "We're not married, we haven't registered our marriage, I'm not your patriarch yet, I'm just your boyfriend."

He said, "I don't have that much of a patriarchal sense of responsibility; I just want you to have fun."

He said that, but in reality, he worried more than any other patriarch.

They are considerate and thoughtful in handling every detail.

So much so that Zhou Sheng and the other two secretly gossiped behind his back, saying that he might have been Yan Can's biological mother in his past life.

Yan Can: "..."

Moved, yet refused.

Mom is the best!

She told Zong Lian that if the school had no other arrangements, he could go out.

Zong Lian said that school rules are meant to be broken, and regardless of any arrangements, they should just play first.

Yan Can reluctantly agreed.

Some people want to have fun, but they're blaming her for it.

Zong Lian hung up the phone because he had something to do. Yan Can had only been up for a short while when Zhou Sheng and the other two arrived.

"Yan Can, Wang Juan is dead!"

"..."

Yan Can said, "I know."

Early in the morning, Wang Juan had died three times already.

But no one was surprised by this result; it seemed as if they had expected it all along.

Yan Can asked Zhou Sheng how he knew, and Zhou Sheng said, "Old Zhou told me."

An old saying goes that a person's debts are wiped out upon death.

Old Zhou's hatred for Wang Juan did not lessen after she died. After all, Wang Juan had angered his mother to death, and he could never forgive her.

But in the end, he took away Wang Juan's ashes.

Yan Can asked curiously, "Where did you go?"

Zhou Sheng said, "The seaside."

It was thrown into the sea.

Wang Yue's thoughts wandered, and he guessed, "Uncle Zhou did this so that she could feel the vastness of the universe through the boundless sea, hoping that in her next life she wouldn't be confined to unhealthy love and could live her own life."

Zhou Sheng: "..."

With such a vivid imagination, why don't you write novels?

He rolled his eyes and gave an answer that no one had thought of.

You're overthinking it.

"My dad just wanted her to die somewhere far away."

"So that her restless spirit won't be reborn into the Zhou family."

"..."

Wang Yue fell silent.

Yan Can almost lost her composure.

Old Zhou is an interesting guy.

But Xiao Zhou is a bit inexperienced.

Unable to keep things to themselves, they wanted to speak but hesitated, and in the end, they couldn't hold back.

"It's not that my dad is heartless or vicious."

“Mainly because I’m not calm enough, and Wang Juan’s love for Yan Jian is a bit wicked… He’s worried that when I get married and have children in the future, Wang Juan will take the spot and be reincarnated into my family. He’s afraid that I’m too… young and can’t suppress that wickedness.”

Zhou Sheng stammered out the reason.

Yan Can and the other two were silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Wang Yue laughed until tears streamed down his face. "Uncle Zhou's thinking is quite advanced. How did he know that if he could do it all over again, Wang Juan would still choose your family?"

Maybe Wang Juan doesn't want to be a human being at all.

After all, her life was truly tragic.

Yan Can then pointed out his mistake, "Are you sure your dad meant he was afraid you were 'too young' and not 'too stupid'?"

Wang Yue and He Yu continued to laugh heartily.

This must be the truth!

Zhou Sheng: "..."

I should have kept quiet.
