Years ago, when Pan Xin made a deal with the devil, she never imagined that she would fall into the abyss because of it.
Shen Yishu's tragedy not only ruined Xu Huan, but also Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang tasted the sweetness of success, abandoned his principles, and officially upgraded to "demon".
And Pan Xin, the instigator of all this, ultimately suffered the consequences.
Like a bullet fired many years ago, it hit me right between the eyebrows today; it was all preordained.
In her previous life, Pan Xin was Chu Xiang's "ingredients," and in this life, Pan Xin is Chu Xiang's "tribute."
The night was long; the only sound outside the room was the man's heavy breathing...
Chu Xiang woke up from his nap and got up to go to the living room for a drink of water.
In the dim light, he paused for only two seconds before limping back to his room.
He felt embarrassed because of the man waiting in the living room.
After dragging Pan Xin into the abyss, he suddenly felt a strange longing for the days he spent with Wang Feifei.
Those were easy days. He never had to worry about money. Wang Feifei was beautiful and well-behaved, willing to do anything. Occasionally, he could even have an affair with Pan Xin. Life was simple and fulfilling.
Why couldn't those days continue? He began to regret not being nicer to Wang Feifei back then.
Perhaps things that have been lost possess their own inherent radiance.
As he did these things tonight, he realized that he didn't actually love anyone.
He has always been a very goal-oriented person, and this habit has supported him step by step from the countryside to the city.
Some things that you've been fixated on for over a decade, like so-called love, may not withstand even a single objective examination.
Does he really love Pan Xin?
No, he loved Pan Xin, who was unattainable and showered with affection.
By getting her, I can prove that I am no longer that poor boy from the countryside. Look, the girl that those rich city boys can't get, I've gotten.
What he loves is the thrill of an arrogant self-esteem that comes from extreme inferiority, and the pleasure of being looked up to by everyone!
Once that person falls from grace and settles into the mundane realities of daily life, she is no longer "her".
Then let's not talk about guilt.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiang let out a long sigh and fell asleep peacefully.
I have to get up early tomorrow to clean up the mess...
Yang Shuyun's husband had already come out of Chu Xiang's house and sneaked into his own bed. Recalling what had just happened, he couldn't help but lick his lips and fell into a sweet sleep, savoring the memory.
The next day, Pan Xin woke up around noon. She opened her eyes groggily and looked at the sunlight outside the window. She had slept for so long.
She reached for her phone and realized her whole body ached, a vague sense of foreboding creeping into her heart…
"Chu Xiang!"
Chu Xiang limped over: "You're awake? Get up and eat, it'll be ready soon."
“What did you do to me yesterday!” Pan Xin shouted.
Chu Xiang approached her with a sincere look in his eyes: "I'm sorry, you were asleep last night, and I couldn't help myself."
"So much has happened lately, you know how much pressure I'm under."
Chu Xiang gently stroked Pan Xin's hair and softly said:
"Today, because of those two million, I had to go to Yang Shuyun, so last night..."
Can you forgive me?
Chu Xiang took Pan Xin's hand to his lips and kissed it deeply. Pan Xin felt a chill run down her spine and quickly pulled away.
Pan Xin stared intently at Chu Xiang, trying to find some clue in his eyes, but unfortunately, all she saw was honesty.
"Am I overthinking things?"
...
Today, Wang Feifei decided to visit her parents' cemetery. The real culprit who killed them yesterday has finally been brought to justice, and the truth has come to light. She really wants to tell them as soon as possible.
She set off early in the morning, leaving everything behind.
She tossed aside her mask, sunglasses, and hat, finally able to walk on the street with peace of mind, no longer worried about being followed or about Xu Hui.
The sun has been shining brightly these past few days, but the temperature has dropped considerably. Today's high is 24 degrees Celsius, which is already a bit cool.
After driving for an hour, Wang Feifei finally arrived at her destination.
This is the best cemetery in City A. It is shaded by green trees and consists of several sections, which are arranged from high to low as follows: Pine Section, Cypress Section, Bamboo Section, Orchid Section, etc.
Each section is divided by flower beds.
Her parents' graves are in the "Pine Quarter," which is the highest point in the area. It has several gardens and a fountain in the middle. Because of the large area of vegetation, it has the best scenery.
After paying respects to her parents, Wang Feifei was drawn to the beautiful fountain in the middle, its shimmering surface particularly beautiful in the sunlight.
As she approached, she saw two squirrels, one big and one small, squatting by the pond drinking water.
Perhaps the mother squirrel was teaching her child how to fetch water. The adult squirrel demonstrated, gripping the stone edge of the fountain with its paws, bending down and sticking its mouth down, successfully drinking a large mouthful of water.
The little squirrel also tried to do it.
Wang Feifei found it particularly interesting and stared at it for a long time.
The little squirrel successfully drank some water using the method its mother taught it. However, when it took its second sip, the water splashed onto the stone, causing it to slip and fall directly into the fountain.
The fountain's water sprayed straight onto the little squirrel's head, making it impossible for it to swim. The big squirrel panicked and jumped into the water too...
Wang Feifei rushed over, lay down on the edge, and leaned half her body forward to grab two squirrels.
Suddenly, she was pulled up by a very strong hand. The man next to her not only lifted Wang Feifei out, but also picked up two squirrels that had been swept away.
He's very tall, so he could reach it easily.
Wang Feifei noticed that the man's entire arm was soaked. Just as she was about to thank him, she realized that her upper body was also soaked from lying by the water, and her light green bra was faintly visible.
She hugged herself in shame, looked up at the man, and that one look made her heart stop!
The man standing before them was none other than Xu Hui's younger brother, the same man from the courtroom!
He even draped his suit jacket over himself!
Wang Feifei's face turned completely white in an instant.
Xu Neng stood there, stunned.
He was upset because of his brother's situation, so he came to the cemetery today to pay his respects to his father.
His father had instructed him before his death that he and his brothers were one and must support each other.
But now Xu Hui has been sentenced to death, and there is no possibility of reversal. He feels guilty and wants to ask his father for forgiveness.
To my surprise, I witnessed this scene at the fountain:
At first, he thought the girl was just playing around, but when he got closer, he realized that she was trying to save two squirrels and that half of her body was in the water.
He didn't know what came over him, but he inexplicably made the move.
When the girl was pulled out of the water, her chest was almost completely wet. He could see her light green bra and her snow-white skin that was faintly visible.
My heart started racing, and my breathing became rapid. It was like seeing a ghost!
I've never felt this way before...
He used to be tempted by too many things in the business world, and even if a beautiful woman stood naked in front of him, he wouldn't change his mind.
How did a light green bra end up like this?
This is truly bizarre!
To stop himself from having wild thoughts, he quickly took off his coat and used it to cover the girl.
The moment I got close to her.
He saw those eyes!
