In a government official's family, countless people would fight to curry favor with you when you were in the limelight. However, once you were defeated, especially when you were involved in such a shameless and disgusting way of accepting bribes, you would be criticized, mocked, and looked down on by everyone.
It was easy to imagine what kind of life Tong Qiao and her family had led during those three years. It must have been an abyss of suffering.
Therefore, although Tong Wenbin was later acquitted and the country gave him appropriate compensation, the damage that Tong Wenbin had caused to the Tong family was irreparable.
In her previous life, although Shuxin had cut off contact with Tong Qiao, Shuxin still cared about her friend, Tong Qiao. Therefore, she would often pay attention to her news.
Shuxin had also seen this incident on the news. At the time, it had caused a huge uproar and was very shocking. Almost everyone knew about it.
Shuxin thought about it carefully. If the trajectory of this life hadn't changed, it wouldn't be long before Tong Wenbin's bribery incident happened …
Could it be that Tong Wenbin wanted Tong Qiao to marry Lu Jinshen because of this incident?
However, since it hadn't happened yet, Shuxin didn't dare to jump to conclusions. After all, this wasn't a small matter. Perhaps it would be different in this life.
Shuxin thought for a moment, then pushed Tong Qiao away. She wiped her tears and said, "Have you seen Lu Jinshen? Maybe he's not like the rumors say, working in the military and holding such a high position. His private life should be very clean. "
Tong Qiao shook her head. "No, I haven't. How can I meet the chief just because I want to?"
Shuxin thought about it and agreed. She comforted her softly. "You haven't even met him. He's a chief. Maybe he's the kind of handsome man you like?"
"How can that be? Even if he's really handsome, I can't accept that he's divorced and has a child."
Shuxin thought about it and agreed. She couldn't accept these two points either. For a moment, she didn't know how to comfort Tong Qiao. After a few seconds of silence, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Your father gave you freedom and allowed you to return to Fan City. Did you compromise, or did he?"
"Me," Tong Qiao said with red eyes.
"You agree to marry him?" Shuxin's eyes widened in disbelief. Based on Tong Qiao's character, she shouldn't compromise.
Tong Qiao nodded and bit her lip. "I … I had a one-night stand with someone else …"
"Huh?" Shuxin was stunned by Tong Qiao's words. It took her a while to recover from her shock. "What's going on?"
"My father kept me at home. No matter what I said, he didn't waver in his determination to marry me to Lu Jinshen. In a fit of anger, I slit my wrist and committed suicide."
Shuxin hurriedly looked at Tong Qiao's wrist. Sure enough, there was a shocking scar on her fair wrist. It had just scabbed over, and the wound was still pink from the new flesh.
Shuxin looked at the wound and thought about how Tong Qiao had almost left her. She felt a burning sensation in her heart, and her eyes were instantly covered with a layer of mist. "Are you stupid?"
"I just couldn't think straight." Tong Qiao's eyes were filled with tears, but she still smiled and comforted Shuxin. "Aren't I fine?"
Shuxin gently touched the wound on Tong Qiao's wrist. Her eyes were full of heartache. "Does it still hurt?"
"No, it doesn't hurt at all." Tong Qiao was afraid that Shuxin would be sad when she saw her wound, so she pulled her hand back.
