Chapter 48 Jiang Ruohe, I'm going to kill you and give you 80 red envelopes
Jiang Ruohe rushed in swiftly, not giving anyone a chance to breathe, and vented his emotions mercilessly...
I lay there stiffly, feeling extremely desperate. For a moment, I thought, if I had died on the night Chen Xi died, how wonderful it would have been, and so many sad things wouldn't have happened.
I don’t know how long it took, but when I regained consciousness, the room was in a mess and the mad man was nowhere to be seen. I lay on the bed in despair, looking at the ceiling with resentment, tears falling silently.
I staggered into the bathroom and rubbed my body hard with a bath ball under the shower. As I rubbed, I squatted on the ground and bit my arm to stop myself from crying out loud.
Jiang Ruohe, what did I do wrong? Why did you treat me like this? Why?
I pushed open the bathroom door and saw Aunt Liu pushing it open in panic.
"Young Madam, Young Madam..."
Aunt Liu looked at everything in the room, paused, and quickly looked up at me.
"Oh no, hurry to the hospital. Someone just called and said your dad is in trouble."
Sure enough, Shen Xiuting just called me because of my dad's matter, but Jiang Ruohe threw my phone away in a rage.
I was anxious and irritable at the moment, so I quickly changed my clothes and ran out.
It was already 11 o'clock at night and it was difficult to get a taxi. I waited at the intersection for two minutes, but didn't see any taxi, so I quickly ran towards the hospital.
When I ran to the second intersection, a private car stopped in front of me. The owner asked me where I was going, and I said the hospital.
"Give you a ride." The car owner looked at me.
Seeing that I was a little hesitant, he smiled faintly, handed me a business card, and said that he was not a bad person.
I looked at the silent surroundings, thought of my father, opened the car door and got into his car. The driver stepped on the accelerator and took me to the hospital entrance.
Before I could even say thank you to him, I opened the car door and rushed to the hospital.
As soon as I arrived at the operating room, I saw the lights were off. The doctor came out and apologized to Shen Xiuting and shook his head.
Shen Xiuting burst into tears at that time, and Tian Rong's eyes also turned red.
"Old Yu, what should I do if you leave?"
I hurriedly looked at the person being pushed out of the operating room by the medical staff, and saw my father's pale face. He collapsed to the ground and tears fell down.
At that moment, I felt like the sky was falling. I couldn't believe that the person who loved me, protected me and cared about me was gone so suddenly.
Just over half a month ago, I celebrated his 60th birthday with him. I put my arms around his neck and told him that I would buy him an expensive gift when I got my salary.
The moment I saw the medical staff covering my father with a white cloth, I crawled over like crazy, pushed them away, hugged my father tightly, and looked at them.
"Don't touch my dad. My dad is not dead. My dad is not dead..."
Those words seemed to be trying to comfort herself, but her tears kept flowing.
Why does God play such a joke on me? I thought that I, Yu Xiaowan, had never done anything bad since I was a child. Why is God so unfair? First he took away Chen Xi, and then he took away my father. Why didn't he give me a way to live?
"My dad is not dead, he is just asleep."
With tears in my eyes, I reached out and touched my father's thin face. The cold temperature made me unable to hold back my tears.
"Dad, wake up, I'm Xiaowan, Dad, I beg you, wake up..."
The medical staff looked at me sympathetically, sighed twice, and discussed coming back later.
Shen Xiuting wiped the tears from her face, looked at me resentfully, walked over, and pushed me to the ground with her hand.
I fell to the ground and looked at Shen Xiuting.
"Yu Xiaowan, stop pretending. You don't care about Old Yu at all, so stop being disgusting."
Shen Xiuting's eyes were red, and she wanted to cover my father's face with a white cloth. I rushed over, but she pushed me away again.
"Yu Xiaowan, where were you when Old Yu needed you? Do you know? When Old Yu came to the hospital with a heart attack, he kept murmuring your name, wanting to see you one last time. I called you repeatedly, but you didn't answer. In the end, you even turned off my phone. Can you imagine what Old Yu felt like when he was wheeled into the operating room?"
"Old Yu was indirectly killed by you." Shen Xiuting roared.
"I..." I was so sad that I couldn't speak.
I really want to tell Shen Xiuting that it wasn’t that I didn’t want to answer her call at that time, but Jiang Ruohe was crazy and threw my phone away and did that to me. I really didn’t mean it.
But I couldn't say it, so I could only swallow the pain. I stood up and tried to get closer to my dad, but Shen Xiuting pushed me away again.
"Yu Xiaowan, please leave. You don't deserve to be here. Old Yu doesn't want an unfilial daughter like you..."
Shen Xiuting was cursing loudly. Tian Rong hurried over to hold back the out-of-control Shen Xiuting.
"Mom, calm down. You can't blame Xiaowan. Maybe Xiaowan has something urgent to do."
"What urgent matter does she have that can be more important than Old Yu?" Shen Xiuting rolled her eyes at Tian Rong, then suddenly came to her senses and looked at me.
"Look at her neck..." Shen Xiuting pointed at me.
I lowered my head and saw a purple mark on my neck, left by Jiang Ruohe.
Shen Xiuting rushed over and slapped me twice, causing blood to flow from the corners of my mouth. I retreated to the wall.
"Xiao Wan, you..." Tian Rong looked at me in surprise, with more blame in her eyes.
"You really hurt us."
I looked at my father in pain, tears kept falling, and I knelt down in front of my father.
"Dad, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."
Shen Xiuting wanted to come over and scold me, but was stopped by Tian Rong.
"Mom, let's forget it. Xiaowan was wrong, but Uncle Yu is gone. What we need to do now is to bury him in peace."
Shen Xiuting wanted to say something, but Tian Rong gave her a look, and Shen Xiuting turned around and glared at me.
"Yu Xiaowan, just wait for me. Old Yu and I will never forgive you..."
"Xiaowan, let's push Uncle Yu into the morgue. He will be cremated tomorrow..." Tian Rong looked at me and said.
I hurriedly shook my head, ran over to hug my father, and looked at Tian Rong.
"Sister, my dad doesn't like such cold places. It's so cold there, I don't want him to go there." I begged Tian Rong.
Shen Xiuting, who was standing by, got angry again and came over and slapped him again.
"Yu Xiaowan, wake up. Old Yu is dead."
I fell to the ground, tears streaming down my face. Shen Xiuting was right. My father was already dead. No matter how hard I tried to force him to stay, he would never wake up again.
Shen Xiuting asked Tian Rong to call medical staff over. At this moment, Jiang Ruohe rushed to the hospital.
I looked at Jiang Ruohe with resentment, my hands slowly clenching.
Jiang Ruohe saw me sitting on the ground, then looked at my dad, his face full of shock. It took him a while to come back to his senses.
He looked at me guiltily, murmured my name, and tried to walk towards me, but was tripped by Shen Xiuting.
Shen Xiuting was crying breathlessly in front of Jiang Ruohe. Jiang Ruohe had no choice but to look away and look at Shen Xiuting.
"Ruohe, your father died so suddenly, how could I survive? I really want to go with Lao Yu." Shen Xiuting cried heartbreakingly.
"Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of Dad's funeral and take good care of you."
After hearing what Jiang Ruohe said, Shen Xiuting cried a little softer, turned around and threw herself in front of my father, crying and saying words of reluctance to leave.
"Mom, don't cry. The dead can't be revived. The medical staff are here. Let them push Uncle Yu to the morgue first." Tian Rong hurried over to comfort her.
My eyes were red and I looked at Jiang Ruohe with resentment, then got up from the ground. When Jiang Ruohe saw me looking at him, there was guilt in his eyes. I guess he regretted doing such a thing, which prevented me from even seeing my father for the last time.
I walked up to him and stared at him.
"Xiao Wan, I thought that call was from Xiao Shi. If I had known, I wouldn't have lost control so much..."
Before Jiang Ruohe could finish his words, he looked down at his chest in shock.
While he was speaking, I quickly snatched the medical scissors from the pocket of the staff who was about to push my dad to the morgue, and stabbed them into Jiang Ruohe's chest without mercy. Soon his clothes were stained red.
There was a cry of surprise at the scene, but Jiang Ruohe did not push me away.
"sorry."
But I am full of hatred for him. If it weren't for him, how could I not even be able to see my father for the last time.
"Will saying sorry be of any use now? Can you give my father's life back?"
I knew clearly in my heart that my father's death had nothing to do with Jiang Ruohe, but he prevented me from seeing my father for the last time, which is equally unforgivable.
"Jiang Ruohe, I'm going to kill you."
I pulled out the scissors and blood splattered on my face. At that time, I thought that if he died, at most I would lose my life. Anyway, I had nothing left, so I didn't care.
I raised my hand to stab again, but someone pushed me away and I fell to the ground. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the medical staff hurriedly snatched the scissors from my hand, looking at my face with fear, as if I would go crazy at any moment.
"Yu Xiaowan, are you crazy?" Shen Xiuting looked at me reproachfully.
The medical staff wanted to help Jiang Ruohe treat his injuries, and some said they would call the police to arrest me.
"Don't call the police, she's my wife."
I don't know what happened, but after hearing what Jiang Ruohe said, I became even more annoyed. Perhaps it was because I unexpectedly got into a marriage that didn't belong to me. I lost too many things, the four-year friendship with Huang Minwei, the four-year relationship with Chen Xi...
I suddenly burst into laughter, laughing like crazy, and tears of laughter fell. In the eyes of Shen Xiuting and Tian Rong, I was so creepy at this moment. Shen Xiuting whispered, asking if I was really crazy.
"Xiao Wan..." Jiang Ruohe still looked at me with guilt. Blood had dyed most of his shirt red. The medical staff wanted to take him to bandage his wound, but he refused. Helplessly, the medical staff could only give him simple hemostatic treatment on the spot.
I got up from the ground and stared at Jiang Ruohe.
"Jiang Ruohe, do you think everyone wants the position of Jiang family's young mistress? I tell you, I don't want it at all."
Once a person is stimulated, he or she seems to become different from himself or herself. During this period, I have too much depression, too much dissatisfaction, too much helplessness and despair.
At that moment, I felt like I had reached my limit and suddenly exploded. No one could stop me, and I couldn't control myself.
"Yes, from the beginning to the end, you have been resisting this marriage. You think I am a vicious woman and hate me for breaking up you and Huang Minwei. You think you have sacrificed your own love, but I haven't sacrificed anything? You can still kiss and cuddle with Huang Minwei, but what about me? The person I love..." I covered my aching heart with my hands.
Thinking of Chen Xi, tears fell again. Chen Xi and I had been in a relationship for four years. At that time, I didn't even know Jiang Ruohe, and had never even heard of him.
It was that night that I found out that Huang Minwei had a boyfriend who she had been dating for three years.
I looked up at Jiang Ruohe, and Jiang Ruohe also looked at me in shock.
"I'm telling you, I hate this marriage too, because I wasn't the one who drugged her. Believe it or not, but the fact is, it wasn't me who drugged her that night."
I reached out and wiped the tears from my face.
"But none of you have ever believed me. In your rich world, you look down on me..."
I will never forget that Wang Yingzhi ran to the Jiang family on the night of my wedding and scolded me so much that she even cursed my mother who had passed away long ago.
She said, how could my mother give birth to such a cruel person who stole her best friend's man.
She said, even though I am so poor, I still want to marry into the Jiang family. I am really shameless.
She said, I should never think that she and Jiang Ruohe would treat a vicious woman like me well.
She said that if it were me, I would have committed suicide out of shame.
I looked up at Jiang Ruohe.
"But Jiang Ruohe, let me tell you. I hate the person who drugged me and made us together more than anyone else. He separated you and Huang Minwei, and he also separated me and Chen Xi..."
Tian Rong, who was next to me, panicked and hurried over to look at me, asking me to calm down, but I pushed her away.
"How can you ask me to calm down? I've had enough, really enough..."
These days, I have been feeling so depressed and repressed, so depressed that I didn't even get to see my father for the last time, and I became even more out of control.
"I have someone I love. I went to the hotel because he wanted to propose to me, but I was knocked unconscious, drugged, and sent to his house."
Chen Xi and I have been in a relationship for four years. During those four years in college, we worked part-time together and saved money together, thinking that we would get married after graduation, use the saved down payment to buy a wedding house, and build a warm home together.
That night was my birthday. Chen Xi called me and said he was waiting for me at the hotel. He bought me flowers and a ring. He said he wanted to give me a surprise, and that we had a night to ourselves...
I rushed to the hotel with a nervous and happy mood, but as soon as I arrived, I was attacked from behind and drugged. When I woke up, I found myself naked in bed with a man, his face red as he stared at me...
"When it happened, I explained to everyone that it wasn't me who drugged her, but no one believed me. Jiang Ruohe hated me, Huang Minwei hated me, and even Chen Xi hated me..."
I took two steps back in pain and looked up at Tian Rong.
"Sister, I will never forget the scene when Huang Minwei and Chen Xi broke into the house..."
At that time, Huang Minwei slapped me hard several times and scolded me for ignoring our friendship and sleeping with her man.
Jiang Ruohe called me a vicious woman and chased out to find Huang Minwei.
When Chen Xi and I were the only ones left in the room, Chen Xi gave me a disgusted look, threw away the roses and ring he had bought for me, cursed me for being cheap, and walked away disappointed.
I hurriedly chased out, but saw Chen Xi being hit by a private car at the hotel entrance. At that moment, just like tonight, I felt like the sky had fallen.
"Sister, I saw him lying in a pool of blood, looking at me with hatred, did you see it? Blood came out of his mouth and kept flowing. He said that he would never let me go even if he died..." I said to Tian Rong, covering my aching head.
Tian Rong shuddered and looked up at me.
"What are you talking about? I wasn't there. Xiaowan, stop talking and calm down..."
Tian Rong came over and pulled me, but I pushed her away.
I turned around and rushed to the window at the end of the corridor, then turned to look at them. Jiang Ruohe was still in shock at this moment. When he saw me standing in front of the window, he called me and wanted to rush over.
"Jiang Ruohe, don't come over here, I hate you, I hate you..."
Jiang Ruohe stopped, his eyes full of guilt and heartache.
"I don't know anything about Chen Xi. No one has ever mentioned it to me, not even Minwei..."
I laughed again.
"Huang Minwei is right. Chen Xi will never forgive me, and neither will she. Now, my father is gone. I have nothing, nothing at all..."
At that moment, there was only one thought in my mind: I wanted to accompany Chen Xi, I wanted to accompany my dad. I stretched out my hand to support the window and planned to jump out. Maybe Jiang Ruohe saw through my thoughts, rushed over regardless of my obstruction, reached out to hug me, and pulled me down.
I pounded his injured chest like crazy, silently accusing him of cruelty, but suddenly my arm hurt and I lost consciousness.
In my dream, I was walking anxiously in the fog. I heard my father and Chen Xi calling me, so I hurried over to look for them. However, I searched for a long time but couldn’t find their voices. I could only stand there in despair and call out to them.
"Xiaowan, face reality and go back. You must live a good life...." My father's voice floated over from a distance.
"Xiao Wan, I know you were framed. I've forgiven you. Go find your own life and don't lock yourself up in the past."
"Chen Xi, Chen Xi." Tears kept flowing.
Suddenly I felt a warm hand caressing the tears on my face, and I quickly reached out and held his hand tightly.
"Chen Xi, don't go, don't go..."
"Dad, don't abandon me..."
"I won't leave, I won't leave. I will stay with you."
Hearing this, my heart relaxed and I slowly fell asleep.
When I woke up, I found myself in the ward and the sky outside the window was still gloomy.
Suddenly there was a loud slap sound outside the door.
"You bastard, look at what good things you've done? Grandpa told you back then that Xiaowan is a good girl. As long as you put your heart into it, you can see everything clearly. What have you done for me?"
"You actually used force to prevent Xiaowan from even seeing her father for the last time..."
There was another crisp slap.
"Grandpa, I regret it too. My mind was in a mess when I ran away. I didn't expect it would become such a big deal."
"You little bastard, it's useless to hit yourself in front of grandpa. You're letting Xiaowan down."
"Ruohe, tell me honestly, are you in love with Xiaowan and are you jealous of other men being with him?"
"I, I don't know..."
"Grandpa, I'm conflicted. I don't know what to do." Jiang Ruohe sounded helpless.
"I clearly love Minwei, how could I do such a thing?"
"Jiang Ruohe, are you a pig brain?"
"How could I have such a brainless grandson like you? It was all in vain that I asked Zhao Yan to release a snake on the deserted island to bite you..."
The people outside the door were shocked, and I, lying on the hospital bed, was also a little stunned. I really didn't expect that my grandfather had put so much thought into letting Jiang Ruohe and I be together.
But a forced melon is not sweet. I looked at the ceiling helplessly, wondering why grandpa didn’t understand.
"Grandpa, were you the one who asked Zhao Yan to let the snake bite me?"
"What else did you think? I thought you would come to your senses, but what happened? If I had known you were so stupid, I would have asked Zhao Yan to release a cobra to bite you to death..."
"Grandpa, why are you so persistent? Why did you force Yu Xiaowan on me? This is hurting both me and her."
Jiang Mingzhe got annoyed when he heard this.
"You little brat, I'm doing this for your own good. I'm absolutely right in judging people. I may be old, but my heart is not. I didn't agree with you and Minwei before, and I naturally had my reasons."
"Ruohe, when will you finally be able to truly appreciate someone? Never mind. It's all my fault. I overestimated you. I, an old man, won't force you."
"I'll give you a month. If you still feel that you love Minwei, grandpa won't force you or Xiaowan anymore. I'll let you divorce Xiaowan."
"Honestly, I'm the one who feels the most sorry for Xiaowan. I can't selfishly force her to stay any longer. If she asks within this month, I will definitely let her go."
"You bastard, please look at your own heart. Don't let yourself regret it."
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Oh, your dad is back. I think that guy is going to make some moves. But your dad deserves it. As long as it doesn't involve the Jiang family, you should stay out of it."
"I understand." Jiang Ruohe replied.
"She is about to wake up. I guess the person she least wants to see right now is me. I'm going to deal with her father's funeral first." Jiang Ruohe said.
"Stinky boy, do this thing for me better and make up for your mistake."
I heard Jiang Ruohe's footsteps as he left, and only heard Jiang Mingzhe sigh.
"Ruohe, if you knew that the person who saved you three years ago was the one in front of you, would you regret treating Xiaowan like this?"
I was stunned by Jiang Mingzhe's words.
"Don't ever say you regret it in front of grandpa in the future." Jiang Mingzhe said to himself.
He pushed the door open and came in. Seeing that I was awake, he hurried over.
"Xiaowan, I heard about your father's situation. Grandpa understands the pain involved and doesn't know how to comfort you. I can only say, be strong." Jiang Mingzhe patted my left shoulder gently.
"Alas, when your grandmother passed away, I was in the same state. I refused to eat or drink for several days, and it seemed as if I had died with her. But I knew I had to be strong because I still had the Jiang Group to take care of..."
"Ruohe is still immature. His father is also half-baked. I asked him to come back and discipline his son, but he only gave me headaches."
"I really can't imagine what the Jiang family will become after I'm gone..." Jiang Mingzhe sighed again.
This morning, kneeling in the mourning hall and looking at my father's portrait, I couldn't help but shed tears. I wished so much that this was just a nightmare, and that after waking up, I could still see my father standing in front of me, caressing my face and calling my name...
But all this will no longer exist.
"Wow, I didn't expect that Old Yu's son-in-law is Jiang Ruohe from Jiang Group. He is so handsome and capable. He made Old Yu's funeral so luxurious and grand..." Several neighbors who came to mourn my father were talking about it.
"Yeah, I thought Old Yu was dead. Given Shen Xiuting's personality, she would have buried him in a hurry. I didn't expect such a big scene to happen."
"I really envy Old Yu for having such a good son-in-law."
"What's there to envy?" Suddenly another neighbor came over.
"It's just a pretense. As far as I know, Xiaowan is not welcomed at all in her husband's family. They even just got a marriage certificate. It shows how much others hate her. The reason why they put on such a big show is just that the husband's family doesn't want to lose face. Do you think they are really in love?" The neighbor said disdainfully.
“No way…”
"Why would I lie to you? This is what Shen Xiuting said herself."
"She also said that the husband Xiaowan married originally liked her friend, but Xiaowan drugged him..."
"I remember now, Xiaowan had a boyfriend before, and she brought him back for Lao Yu to meet."
"Yeah, if you dump your boyfriend and marry into a wealthy family, do you think you'll be happy?"
A few people looked at each other and burst into laughter.
When they were chatting enthusiastically, they suddenly stopped talking. They caught a glimpse of Jiang Ruohe standing in front of them. Jiang Ruohe glanced at them coldly, and they hurriedly dispersed.
Jiang Ruohe walked towards me and looked at me with heartache.
"Why don't you..."
"It's just the fact." I didn't look at him and continued to kneel there and burn paper for my father.
Jiang Ruohe looked at me and said nothing more. Shen Xiuting pulled him over to help.
"Xiao Wan, I know you are very sad right now. Uncle Yu is gone, and my mother and I are also very sad. You have to be strong, and don't do anything stupid like you did last night." Tian Rong, who was kneeling beside me, looked at me and said.
Without looking up, I said, "I understand."
"Sister, don't worry, I won't be that stupid."
After the funeral, we returned to my father's house. Jiang Ruohe took a phone call and left, saying that he had important matters to deal with. He left first and said that he would ask the driver to pick me up later.
Jiang Ruohe had just left when Shen Xiuting pushed me out of the door. Through the iron gate, Shen Xiuting looked at me with resentment.
"Yu Xiaowan, let me tell you, Old Yu and I will never forgive you. Now that Old Yu is gone, we are done with each other and will have no further contact from now on."
I had no objection to Shen Xiuting wanting to sever all ties with me. I looked up at Shen Xiuting.
"Aunt Shen, can you let me sort out my dad's things?"
"What's the point of coming here to fulfill your filial duty now? Why didn't you come when Old Yu wanted to see you for the last time before he died?"
With a "click", Shen Xiuting closed the wooden door.
I knocked on the door hurriedly.
"Aunt Shen, I know I've let my dad down, please let me in, please?"
"Get out of here. I don't want to see you. I don't think Lao Yu wants to see you either. Don't come here again."
No matter how I begged, Shen Xiuting refused to pay attention to me. I hurriedly called Tian Rong who was in the house and asked her to open the door for me.
"Sister, please help me."
"Xiao Wan, my mother is angry now. I can't help you."
"Xiao Wan, go back. Wait until my mother calms down, then you can come back to pack Uncle Yu's things." Tian Rong whispered in the house.
I had no choice but to go home. After I got home, I called my grandfather, but it was Butler Chen who answered the phone.
"Xiao Wan, the master is on a business trip."
"When will he be back?"
"This business trip will take a while. I won't be back for about a month. When I get back, I'll have the master come find you."
Needless to say, it was Grandpa who wanted to avoid me because he was afraid that I would tell him that I wanted to break up with Jiang Ruohe.
A trace of self-mockery flashed across his eyes. So what if I was given a one-month buffer period? Jiang Ruohe and I will still have the same ending.
I curled up on the bed with my repaired phone, looking at the old photos of my dad and I, and tears couldn't be controlled and fell.
Thinking back to the last time we met, I told my dad that I would buy him an expensive gift after I got my salary, but unfortunately...
Just then, my cell phone rang. I looked and saw that it was Huang Minwei calling. I was a little confused, but I pressed the answer button. Soon, the sound of her and Jiang Ruohe arguing came from the phone.
"Have you touched her? Jiang Ruohe, how could you do this to me?"
It seems that Huang Minwei called me on purpose, but I am very curious how Huang Minwei knew so quickly that Jiang Ruohe had touched me.
"Jiang Ruohe, why do you treat me like this? Have you forgotten? Yu Xiaowan got rid of your and my child. Do you want our child to have no peace in the afterlife?" Huang Minwei beat Jiang Ruohe.
"Minwei, I'm very confused now. Can you let me be quiet?" Jiang Ruohe's voice sounded a little tired.
"Jiang Ruohe, you did something wrong to me. I hate you. I dislike you. Let's break up." Huang Minwei cried.
After a long while, Jiang Ruohe hummed, and Huang Minwei stopped crying in shock. Within two seconds, the call was disconnected.
I looked at my phone, thinking that Huang Minwei just wanted me to hear that Jiang Ruohe comforted her and confessed that he liked her in his heart. In the end, this happened. She wanted to break up, and Jiang Ruohe agreed easily.
I threw my phone aside. What happened between Huang Minwei and Jiang Ruohe had nothing to do with me.
I curled up in bed for a day and a night, until the next morning, when Aunt Liu pushed the door open with a look of distress on her face. She placed the prepared breakfast on my bedside table.
"Xiao Wan, the dead cannot be resurrected. Those who are alive must live well, otherwise your father in heaven will be sad to see you like this."
I didn't say a word, lowered my head and buried my face between my legs.
Aunt Liu sighed.
"I don't know where the young master has gone. He didn't even bother to spend time with you during such an important time."
At eight o'clock in the morning, my cell phone rang. It was my colleague Yang Ru calling.
"Xiao Wan, this is bad. The old woman who came to ask you for money is here again. She's handing out flyers everywhere. They say..."
When I rushed to the company, Tian Fen was still handing out flyers, yelling for everyone to see my true face.
"Oh, so that's how it is. I was wondering how a woman like her, who doesn't belong to the right social class, could become Jiang Ruohe's wife..."
"I never thought she was such a capable person. She drugged her best friend's boyfriend, climbed into his bed, and was caught by her own boyfriend, who then got hit and killed by a car."
“That’s really cheap.”
"Our President Xiao still defends her everywhere, it's really..."
Yang Ru saw me and hurried over, saying that she had called security, but the security couldn't take Tian Fen away.
"When the security guard pulled her hand, she started throwing a tantrum, saying he was trying to rape her in broad daylight. The security guards were so angry they called the police."
"She really knows how to pick the time. Ms. Xiao flew to South Korea yesterday morning, and we don't know when she will be back." Yang Ru handed me the flyer in her hand.
I took a look and my face immediately changed color as I walked up to Tian Fen.
Tian Fen saw me and raised her eyebrows.
"Are you finally willing to show up?"
"Auntie Tian, what do you mean? Is this necessary?"
"It's necessary. It's your fault for not wanting to help me and your Uncle Chen anymore."
I looked at Tian Fen with resentment. I never expected her to be such a person. She was simply an ungrateful person. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have given all my savings to them. No wonder Chen Xi never mentioned his parents to me when we were together.
"Auntie Tian, I really can't help you and Uncle Chen, who are so unrepentant. You clearly promised me last time that this would be the last time you asked me for money, but less than half a month later, you're here again. I'm not a money-making machine. Just because I owe Chen Xi doesn't mean I owe you..."
Tian Fen looked at me angrily.
"Then I'm sorry for being so rude."
"Everyone, come and see! This woman is truly shameless. She was caught cheating on my son and killed him."
"Tian Fen, don't go too far." I looked at her angrily and clenched my fists.
Tian Fen looked at me and smiled coldly.
"Yu Xiaowan, I'm telling the truth. Didn't you kill Chen Xi?"
I shuddered. My head started to ache, and those painful images flashed through my mind like a slide show.
"It was you who betrayed him and killed him. I want everyone to know that you, Yu Xiaowan, are a bitch." Tian Fen's face became distorted.
More and more people were watching the excitement around. I glared at Tian Fen and shouted a few times, "I didn't do it, I didn't do it." I felt like I was having a mental breakdown, as if I would go crazy at any time.
"You did, you definitely did. You killed my son." Tian Fen continued to provoke me.
I covered my head, squatted down, and kept muttering that I didn't have it. Yang Ru hurried to my side and helped me up.
"Xiao Wan, are you okay?"
"Crazy woman, stop provoking Xiaowan. I believe Xiaowan. She is not that kind of person. You are just making up lies to get money."
"We won't believe you." Yang Ru said firmly.
"Hey, little girl, I think you've been deceived by her. What I said is the truth. My son was killed by her."
"Yu Xiaowan, if you're willing to help me and your Uncle Chen again, I promise not to harass you anymore. Otherwise, not only will I let your company know about this, I'll also let everyone in Qingcheng see your ugly face clearly."
I looked at Tian Fen coldly. I had never seen such a disgusting woman. She would do anything to get money, even dragging the man who was already buried deep in the earth into the mix.
I hid the pain in my eyes and told myself that running away would not solve the problem. Although I had thought of killing Tian Fen a thousand times, I still forced myself to calm down and deal with this matter properly.
"Okay, how much do you want?"
"One million."
After hearing this, Yang Ru scolded Tian Fen for asking for too much.
"It's none of your business, get out of here." Tian Fen reached out and pushed Yang Ru away.
I was so angry that I really wanted to slap this old woman twice. Tian Fen turned and looked at me.
"Don't think it's too much, Madam Jiang, it's easy for you to take out this one million."
"After all, you married into a wealthy family by stepping on my son's blood, so you should give me this money. I will come to find you in three days, otherwise I will make you pay." After threatening, Tian Fen left quickly.
Everyone was still pointing and talking, so Yang Ru turned around and yelled at them, telling them to just do what they were supposed to do, otherwise they would be in trouble when Xiao Shi came back.
As soon as they heard Xiao Shi's name, the onlookers dispersed. Yang Ru looked at me with concern and asked me if I wanted to tell Xiao Shi about this matter and ask Xiao Shi to help deal with it.
"No, this is my business, I can handle it myself."
"Then take good care of yourself. Don't worry, I will teach those gossipy women in the company a lesson. Go back and get some rest."
I didn't go home, but went to the cemetery. I leaned against Chen Xi's grave, reached out and touched the warm and sunny photo of Chen Xi, tears welling up in my eyes.
"You must hate me very much. Your mother was right. It was indeed me who killed you..." I sobbed.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. But I also want to tell you that I was framed that night..."
"I know you won't believe me, but I still want to tell you..."
I leaned on Chen Xi's grave and murmured for a long time. After my tears were blown away by the wind, I looked at Chen Xi's photo with a painful expression.
"Chen Xi, your parents, I really tried my best. I have given them all my savings, but they are still asking me for money endlessly. I really can't indulge them anymore. You won't blame me, right..."
I stroked Chen Xi's photo with some reluctance, put my face close to it, kissed the photo, and tears began to flow silently again.
After leaving the cemetery, it was really difficult to get a taxi as there were few vehicles on the road.
After waiting for a long time, under the scorching sun, his head became more and more dizzy, and he swayed and fell to the ground.
When I woke up, I found myself in an unfamiliar room and quickly sat up. At this moment, someone pushed the door open. I saw Shao Han and a hint of surprise flashed in my eyes.
