"Huaizhi, you can let go now and start living your life properly," Gu Jiangli comforted him softly.
Jiang Huai looked relaxed, as if all the burdens on his shoulders had been lifted.
"Yes, all I want now is to spend my future with you."
"Now that your great revenge has been achieved, what will become of your pawns?"
She still wanted to know the ending for Sun Chan and Wuyou.
Jiang Huaizhi said calmly, "Sun Chan was depressed for a day, and then wrote a letter to the Sun family, wanting them to send her a divorce agreement so that she could divorce Jiang Huaisong. She must have thought it through and doesn't want to get entangled in the City Lord's Mansion anymore. However, the Sun family probably won't agree to this so easily."
Gu Jiangli thought for a moment and understood: "The Sun family's initial plan was to curry favor with the City Lord's Mansion, so Sun Chan is also a pawn in their game. Therefore, they won't let Sun Chan be a useless pawn so easily. Huaizhi, what do you want to do?"
Jiang Huaizhi raised an eyebrow: "Actually, it's not difficult for Sun Chan to return to the Sun family. I will soon become the city lord, and as long as I give the word, the Jiang family will naturally give up. However..."
He hesitated, then Gu Jiangli asked, "But what?"
“But Jiang Li, do you want Sun Chan to divorce Jiang Huaisong? She has targeted you many times in the backyard, looking at you like an enemy... If she stays in the City Lord's Mansion, you can bully her however you want in the future, and she will have no chance to fight back. But if she divorces Jiang Huaisong and goes back to the Sun family, it will be very difficult for you to get revenge on her.”
So that's what he was thinking.
Gu Jiangli lowered her head and chuckled softly: "Huaizhi, Sun Chan isn't actually that important to me. I don't care at all whether she will suffer in the future, nor do I care whether I can get revenge on her. I only care about you."
"Me?" Jiang Huaizhi was slightly taken aback.
"Yes, you. If you'll be happy to see Sun Chan suffer if she stays in the City Lord's Mansion, then keep her. If you think she's already a useless pawn, then let her go. I'll say it again: I don't care what happens to Sun Chan, all I care about is you."
In reality, no matter where Sun Chan is, she doesn't have the ability to harm them.
The sins she suffered have also served as retribution for her past evil deeds.
Therefore, Gu Jiangli had no intention of taking further revenge on Sun Chan.
Jiang Huai's eyes flickered as he stared at Gu Jiangli, lost in thought.
It felt like being enveloped in warm sunshine, making me feel comfortable and at ease.
After a long silence, he said gently, "I understand, Jiang Li. I will handle it."
Gu Jiangli nestled into his arms and then asked, "Huaizhi, Sun Chan can be released, but Wuyou cannot."
"No worries? There's no question of letting go, because he's already dead."
"Dead?"
Gu Jiangli was so shocked that she immediately pulled away from Jiang Huaizhi's embrace: "Wuyou is dead? When? What happened?"
She was somewhat surprised.
Because she never imagined that Wuyou would die.
Jiang Huaizhi was a little uncomfortable with her leaving his embrace, but he still explained considerately, "Speaking of which, this was somewhat of an accident. It happened just now, about an hour before you woke up."
"Wasn't Wuyou knocked unconscious by Huaiyu that day? He must have been injured then, but nobody noticed him at all."
"After he woke up, he rushed to his mother and made a fuss, saying that he was her grandson and a descendant of the Jiang family, and wanted his mother to not drive him away because of the years she had loved him."
"But he went at the wrong time. His mother was already having hysteria and didn't pay any attention to him because she didn't know him at all."
"My father got angry whenever he saw him, and he grabbed a stick to chase him away. He hit him on the back twice with the stick, and after taking only a few steps, he collapsed and died."
"Actually, it's normal. My father was angry that day and had already hit him hard. Huaiyu then kicked him, and with those last two blows, it would have been enough to kill him."
"Jiang Li, besides disliking Wuyou, are you also a little afraid of him?"
Gu Jiangli had been listening intently, but Jiang Huaizhi's last sentence made her shudder: "What do you mean? I'm afraid of him? Why do you say that?"
"It's nothing, it's just my feeling. When you're with Wuyou, your back is always tense and you unconsciously clench your fists. You never do that when you're with other people. I don't know why you're afraid of Wuyou, but you don't need to be afraid anymore. He will never appear in front of you again."
Jiang Huaizhi spoke very calmly.
The death of Wuyou had absolutely no psychological impact on him.
Gu Jiangli's feelings were somewhat complicated.
She may indeed be somewhat afraid of Wuyou; it's an uncontrollable psychological ingrained in her.
She had experienced death once, and perhaps that fear had followed her ever since.
Wuyou is dead, which means that no one will be able to hurt her in the future.
This is actually a good thing.
Thinking of this, Gu Jiangli breathed a sigh of relief.
The way her shoulders relaxed looked to Jiang Huaizhi like she was sighing.
"What's wrong, Jiang Li? Are you saddened by Wuyou's death?"
Gu Jiangli shook her head: "How could that be? I'm not sad, I'm relieved."
According to her original plan, Wuyou wouldn't even have a chance of being born.
Wuyou was fortunate enough to come into this world in order to fulfill Jiang Huaizhi's revenge.
For Wuyou, these past few years have been quite good.
He lived a life of luxury and hardly ever suffered any hardship.
Gu Jiangli snuggled into Jiang Huaizhi's arms again, "Huaizhi, I am truly relaxed now. There is no one or anything in the City Lord's Mansion that can threaten us anymore. From now on, we can live our lives peacefully and happily, and that will satisfy me."
