Most of the people present were the ones who had ruined Jiang Zhenghua's life.
Wu Yanping, Huang Bo, and Wang Qian are all people Jiang Zhenghua knows very well. If he were to see them all together, he would be furious and go crazy on the spot.
"Alright, you can go upstairs first!"
Qiu Minxia nodded. "Wait until I've vented my anger and kicked him out of here before you all come out."
He then pressed the communication button on the doorbell and said, "Come in."
"Okay, I'm coming right now!"
Jiang Zhenghua's voice came through the loudspeaker.
Qiu Minxia took a deep breath and immediately sat down on the tattered sofa, forcing herself to calm down. She repeatedly told herself that no matter what Jiang Zhenghua said, she could not be soft-hearted.
After a minute of anxious waiting, an old man she knew very well finally appeared at the door.
His hair was white, his beard was stubble, and his face was covered with wrinkles.
It was Jiang Zhenghua!
However, before this, her impression of Jiang Zhenghua was that although he was older, he was full of energy and looked like a vigorous old man.
However, at this moment, he was distraught, his face filled with sorrow and grief.
Compared to his arrogant and disdainful demeanor in court, he seemed to have aged more than ten years.
"Minxia, I...I..."
Jiang Zhenghua opened his mouth, but before he could finish speaking, he burst into tears.
Qiu Minxia frowned and said impatiently, "What are you crying for, you old man?"
"Minxia, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"
As he spoke, he suddenly knelt down on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, "I really know I was wrong, please give me another chance, I swear..."
"Enough!"
Qiu Minxia retorted, "Your vows are nothing but bullshit to me. Do you think I'll ever believe you again?"
"Minxia, I was bewitched, I didn't know how to cherish you before, I deserve to die, I'm heartless!"
Jiang Zhenghua slapped himself repeatedly while crying, "But now I really know I was wrong. Please give me another chance to make amends."
At this point, his knees buckled, and he knelt down in front of Qiu Minxia with a thud. "Minxia, do you know? We used to love each other deeply. Do you remember when we first met?"
"Back then, I was just a poor young man who had just arrived in the city, while you were a young lady I couldn't possibly be worthy of. The first time I saw you..."
"Enough!" Before he could finish speaking, Qiu Minxia interrupted him, "Jiang Zhenghua, now that things have come to this, don't even think about trying to fool me with sweet words!"
"This isn't just sweet talk!"
Jiang Zhenghua raised his hand. "I really know I was wrong this time. Please believe me, okay?"
He paused, then added, "And besides me, you have no other real family in this world."
"Who said that?"
Qiu Minxia sneered, "That's just what you think. Although my relatives are gone, I now have a group of friends who are truly devoted to me."
"You mean those people who use you against me?"
Jiang Zhenghua chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Minxia, Minxia, you're so foolish. Even if we're not getting along, you don't need to be used as a pawn by outsiders, do you?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Qiu Minxia immediately became anxious, "They didn't use me, they were helping me!"
"Hehe, Minxia, stop deceiving yourself!"
Jiang Zhenghua immediately grasped the key point: "Outsiders are just outsiders after all. Pie doesn't fall from the sky for no reason. No matter how good they are to you, it's only because you have value to them. If you are no longer of value to them, believe me, they will abandon you without hesitation."
Qiu Minxia suddenly fell silent.
His expression shifted constantly, looking bewildered and helpless.
She may be ugly, but she's not really stupid.
A group of strangers who appear out of nowhere and approach her with ulterior motives—you can't completely trust these people.
The only reason she was willing to cooperate was because Jiang Zhenghua had hurt her so deeply. She chose to be a puppet in order to make Jiang Zhenghua pay the price.
“Minxia, even if I’m wrong and I’m sorry, we can always make up after a fight. No matter how bad I am, I’m still the closest person to you in this world.”
Seeing that Qiu Minxia was showing signs of softening, Jiang Zhenghua continued to coax her, "I can understand that you were misled by outsiders to frame me."
"but……"
You need to think about your future!
"If you want to get back together with me now, I don't want any property. I only ask to grow old with you, spend the rest of my life together, and use the rest of my time to make up for the mistakes I made."
"But if you really reject me, what will you get in return?"
"Besides harboring a bellyful of resentment and continuing to be used by those people, you have nothing."
"The day you truly lose your usefulness, you'll be all alone and miserable."
"Do you really want to see this outcome?"
It has to be said that Jiang Zhenghua knew Qiu Minxia very well.
After all, they had been married for decades. Even if they were not on good terms in their later years, he had a very accurate grasp of Qiu Minxia's personality weaknesses.
With just a few words, he touched Qiu Minxia's deepest sore spot, causing her firm resolve to waver.
Upstairs on the second floor.
Wang Qian's brows furrowed more and more deeply.
I could already tell that Qiu Minxia was pretending to be strong.
Now it seems that Qiu Minxia was even more timid and weak than he had imagined.
Even if she knew Jiang Zhenghua was just using sweet talk, Qiu Minxia probably wouldn't be able to withstand such a smooth-talking offensive.
