The scene suddenly fell silent.

Only soft, mournful music echoed in the hall, creating a very eerie atmosphere.

I lowered my eyes and looked at Gu Yanqing, who was kneeling in front of me. I was unusually calm, and even a smile appeared on my lips.

Today's trip was definitely worthwhile; I witnessed a truly spectacular show.

The large diamond ring shone brilliantly, and I squinted slightly at the light. I chuckled softly, "Gu Yanqing, we've been together for so many years, and I never realized you have a histrionic personality."

"No, Xiao Wan, I mean it sincerely, from the bottom of my heart." Gu Yanqing looked up at me, his eyes filled with deep affection. "Please forgive me and marry me again."

In the silence, a saintly voice suddenly spoke up: "Jiang Wan, just agree to Gu Shao's request. He's such a kind-hearted person, he won't mistreat you."

Once someone takes the lead, others immediately chime in: "Yes, they say it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. It's rare that he's come to his senses, so give him another chance."

"Jiang Wan, it's not easy to get married a second time. In a few years, you'll be almost thirty. Where will you find such a good husband?"

"Exactly, don't miss out and then regret it."

I looked up at the source of the voices and said with a smile, "Since you all think so highly of Young Master Gu, then you should marry him. I'll gladly give him up."

In short, it successfully silenced all those miscellaneous voices.

Gu Yanqing remained kneeling, holding the diamond ring in his hands in front of me, as if he wouldn't get up unless I agreed.

I'm very curious how long he can kneel with that leg that was stabbed with scissors and left bleeding.

And how long can those hands be raised like that?

I looked down at him and asked calmly, "Is this your purpose? You deliberately chose a crowded place to put pressure on me through public opinion?"

Gu Yanqing shook his head. "No, I just want to apologize in public to show my sincerity, and I also ask everyone to be my witness. I will never let you down again in the future."

"Oh~" I nodded slowly, and his expression immediately improved, thinking that I was going to agree.

But then I changed the subject and suddenly said, "Since everyone is here today, including all our relatives and elders, I'd like to announce something as well."

All eyes immediately turned to me, filled with curiosity and inquiry.

I announced in a clear and loud voice, "In a few days, on the 6th, my divorce case with Gu Yanqing will be heard in court. If any of you relatives and friends are free, you are welcome to attend the hearing and testify for me—testify that Mr. Gu betrayed me in public first, that our relationship has completely broken down and there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation, and that we will try to get the judge to grant the divorce in one go. Relatives and friends who are willing to testify for me can enjoy VIP treatment at my company's clothing brand stores, with a lifetime 40% discount."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room erupted in discussion.

"Oh no! The divorce has gone to court. It seems like it's inevitable!"

"Jiang Wan is really something! Just like her mother, she's indomitable!"

Someone immediately asked, "You can also get a 40% discount on your high-end customized dinner party?"

"Can."

My straightforward reply immediately sparked another wave of heated discussion.

"That brand is expensive! A 40% discount will save you a lot!"

"Oh dear, even with a 60% discount, it's still several thousand yuan. I still can't bear to spend that much."

"Her company also has a trendy clothing brand, which is pretty good. With a 40% discount, it's only a few hundred yuan. She's making a killing!"

"Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan! The 6th, right? I'm coming, I'm coming... I'll be your witness, I even recorded a video on the wedding day, it's saved on my phone."

“I went too, and I recorded a video. The evidence is irrefutable; Gu Yanqing abandoned you first!”

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Those who were just advising me to forgive Gu Yanqing were now all bought off by self-interest.

Gu Yanqing knelt there, never dreaming that I would humiliate him like this in public. His face turned pale and then red, and his raised hands trembled.

“Jiang Wan…” His pupils contracted, and he uttered the two words in disbelief.

"Gu Yanqing, there's no way we can get back together, do you understand?" I looked at him, suppressing all my emotions, and explained again.

"I don't believe it. You're just holding a grudge and want revenge. I don't believe you can just let go of six years of relationship like that..."

Gu Yanqing's voice was low and deep, and upon closer listening, it sounded slightly choked up; even his eyes were red-rimmed.

In the past, if he had shown this side of himself, I don't know how heartbroken I would have been.

But now, my heart is as still as water.

Amidst the continued uproar and discussion, Tang Xiue suddenly erupted, "Enough! Enough! Today is my daughter's funeral! What are you all doing! Have you no shame!"

Everyone was startled, as if waking from a dream.

Then I remembered that I was at a funeral home, attending a funeral.

Her relatives and friends immediately became serious, glancing at Tang Xiu'e cautiously with subtle expressions.

Tang Xiu'e was furious, her face contorted with rage.

She never expected Gu Yanqing to stab her in the back, and she glared at him as if she wanted to kill him.

Suddenly, Tang Xiue rushed forward angrily and kicked Gu Yanqing hard: "You bastard! My daughter hasn't even been buried yet, her body is still warm, and you're humiliating her like this... Who needs your sympathy or pity! No one is forcing you to marry her if you don't like her, but now you're disgusting people, ptooey!"

Gu Yanqing was kicked to the ground, looking utterly disheveled.

That wasn't all. Tang Xiu'e went berserk, grabbing him and punching and kicking him while cursing him.

I frowned deeply, watching the absurd farce unfold before me, my emotions beyond words.

Gu Yanqing originally wanted to play both sides and enjoy a good reputation, but in the end, he was disliked by both and his reputation was ruined.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! He's bleeding!"
