If I hadn't taken that series of actions on Grandpa Gu's 80th birthday, would my family still have doted on me like a little princess?
So many ifs … But they were all just wishful thinking. Time wouldn't turn back, and I would still be deserted by everyone.
There were some things that you woke up too late, so late that you had no chance to make up for it.
Since that was the case, since she was the cause of the incident, she would personally put an end to it.
I'm still useful to Zhou Jing. On the afternoon of January 16th, when I went to her house, Zhou Jing invited me in with a smile.
The two of them chatted as usual, but as they chatted, Zhou Jing suddenly began to have difficulty breathing.
Arsenic is very toxic, and it kills within an hour.
Zhou Jing looked at me in disbelief, and I looked back at her with a frighteningly calm expression.
Zhou Jing wanted to call the police, but Gu Nianzhi cut off the line and snatched the phone away.
Zhou Jing asked me why, over and over again, but Gu Nianzhi never told me the reason.
Gu Nianzhi didn't say a word until she died.
When Zhou Jing was lying motionless on the ground, Gu Nianzhi walked up to her and checked her breathing. After confirming that she was dead, Gu Nianzhi suddenly started giggling.
Zhou Jing was my best friend. Gu Nianzhi killed me with her own hands … It's ridiculous!
… …
Liang Doukou, who was in the interrogation room, chuckled softly as she recalled the incident.
That laughter was especially clear and ear-piercing in the enclosed room.
No one would know why she killed Zhou Jing, and no one would know that she, who hated Qin Zhi 'ai so much, risked her life to protect her and the man she loved.
Even more so, no one would know that she truly regretted doing so many foolish things back then … But no one was willing to give her a chance to repent … Everyone gave up on her, including herself. In the end, she also gave up on herself because she had no choice but to give up on herself …
Liang Doukou's laughter grew louder and louder until it sounded more like she was crying.
"Nuan Nuan, are you and Wu Hao … sure not to get married?"
Lu Bancheng asked as he stared at Xu Wennuan, who had stopped in her tracks.
Xu Wennuan seemed surprised by Lu Bancheng's sudden question. She hesitated for a moment before nodding her head gently and saying, "Yes."
"Nuan Nuan, I heard everything you said on the phone with your mother …" Lu Bancheng said honestly.
Xu Wennuan bit her lip. She knew Lu Bancheng had more to say, so she didn't say anything.
Lu Bancheng seemed to be hesitant about what to say. After a minute of silence, he leaned against the door and said, "Nuan Nuan, I can help you return that one million yuan of betrothal gifts."
Xu Wennuan had not expected him to suddenly say something like that, and her eyes were filled with shock as she stared at him.
"It's like this. My mother has been urging me to get married recently, but I, you know, haven't found someone suitable, so I don't really want to get married. If you decide not to marry Wu Hao, then you can consider a fake marriage with me and help me appease my mother …" Lu Bancheng paused for a moment, then continued, "… The marriage will last for a year. After a year, I will divorce you. I won't interfere with your life. Every month, you just have to accompany me to my parents' house for a meal. Of course, I won't touch you …"
