"Alright!" Jiang Nanfei stared blankly at Huo Beijiang. The decision to divorce, which she had dreamed about, finally heard from his mouth, left her feeling empty.
During their decade-long marriage, aside from her sister-in-law Huo Jinlan, she didn't get along well with anyone in the Huo family. It was him who protected her and indulged her tantrums. When she expressed her interest in traditional painting, he found the best teacher for her. When she wanted to start her own business, he quietly paved the way.
She knew all these and was moved by them. But every time she remembered her younger brother's death, she took a step back.
Her brother's death is an insurmountable chasm. She even considered, if she had not married or acted impulsively, had been a little bit more sensible and attentive, would the tragedy not have occurred?
Would she genuinely fall in love with him?
Regrettably...there was no what if.
"Please stay away." The voice of the patrolling security guards pulled Jiang Nanfei from her thoughts; her initially perplexed gaze slowly became clear.
Since news of her divorce from Huo Beijiang had gotten out, she had experienced the coldest treatment she hadn't experienced in the previous ten years. She had seen many people's true colors.
The hypocrisy of Qiao Jingxuan, whose so-called love was just for her title as Mrs. Huo, to gain more commercial benefits. Her best friend, Huo Jinlan, showed her most malicious nature.
During the summer vacation of the second year of high school, she was framed for golddigging while working part-time, and her hard-earned money wasn't withheld. But without money for school, she had to drop out. All this was the work of Huo Jinlan. After marriage, she survived only because of Huo Beijiang's protection.
It wasn't until their fake divorce that she finally saw the true colors.
Regarding her brother's death, she had stumbled upon a shocking secret and needed to investigate it thoroughly.
Under the drive of the patrolling security guards, she had to retreat, all the way to the perimeter of the warning line. As her foot stepped back, so did her heart, feeling she should not have agreed to the one-year meeting!
To get a divorce certificate?
To debunk divorce rumors?
No... the truth about her brother's death had yet to be found, she hadn't had a chance to take her revenge, and the crack in her heart was temporarily irreparable.
Jiang Nanfei turned around and took a deep look at the figure who sprinted out of the main gate. Just as she was about to leave, a massive impact from behind caused her view to change from Huo Beijiang's face to the sky.
Her body flew up like a ragdoll, tossed high in the air before falling hard down.
Jiang Nanfei's mind went blank, the pain in her body made her think of one phrase, 'broken into pieces'. She saw many complex emotions in Huo Beijiang's face, including shock, despair, pain, sadness, and hatred.
The last thing she heard was his heartbreaking scream before everything sank into darkness.
The low buildings of the textile factory made everyone sweat, with dust flying everywhere in the air, and a group of young female workers were busy working at a breakneck pace.
Suddenly, the tightly closed door was violently pushed open, and a grim-looking middle-aged woman led a group of people quickly toward the corner. The young girl in the corner was sleeping against the wall and was dragged up by the middle-aged woman by the hair.
"Let go!" Jiang Nanfei was awakened by the pain, opened her eyes and couldn't process the situation right away. The last scene she remembered was the appearance of Huo Beijiang rushing out from inside.
Accidents are never coincidental, so who could it be? Huo Jinlan or Qiao Jingxuan? Or was it the person who murdered her brother?
