CHAPTER 855: CHAPTER 450: _3

If not like this, she would enjoy the life she deserves, rather than endure the pain of being skinned alive to become Rong Yanqiao.

Then, in a life that follows the usual steps, she would find someone with a job like hers, they would marry, and be allocated a house by their workplace.

Their children might lead a life just like theirs.

Unfortunately, life has no ifs or do-overs.

"Rong Qingze, if I hadn’t met Zhao Yixing, you wouldn’t have met me. Without meeting me, would you realize your own feelings? Would you have continued to hold on to Wenming?"

Rong Yanqiao pursed her lips and spoke hoarsely to Rong Qingze.

She had not mentioned Wenming for a long time.

Rong Qingze was silent as a result.

One can’t deny that everything Rong Yanqiao said was entirely the truth.

Everything has consequences.

"Take care of yourself first, you’re pregnant, what help can you offer her?" Rong Qingze stopped his thoughts and slowly threw words at Rong Yanqiao.

Rong Yanqiao didn’t respond.

But she couldn’t deny that Rong Qingze’s words hit the mark.

The family dinner at the Rong Family’s old house tomorrow, Rong Yanqiao had a premonition that it wouldn’t be so smooth.

--

After Xu Wei hung up the phone, she turned the music up to its loudest.

She tried to numb herself in this way.

She was so depressed and in pain.

She didn’t know when she finally fell asleep.

Awakened again.

The lights in the room were already on.

She saw Xu Shaodong sitting by the bed. At that moment, Xu Wei almost thought it was her illusion, until she pinched herself subtly and realized it wasn’t an illusion.

"Why are you here?"

Xu Shaodong was clearly supposed to keep his distance, she couldn’t understand why Xu Shaodong was now sitting at her bedside, with what intention.

"Xu Wei, listen to me, stop making trouble, don’t divorce Jiang Xun, live well with him. You think all these problems mean something now, but later, you’ll surely be able to resolve them."

Xu Shaodong sounded like he hadn’t spoken in ages, his voice was hoarse.

Xu Wei wanted to laugh hearing these words.

He’s asking her not to divorce Jiang Xun, Xu Shaodong actually came to persuade her to live well with Jiang Xun. This, truly, is the funniest joke she’s heard in so many years!

Xu Wei sneered, "Why come to persuade me? This is my life, my feelings! Xu Shaodong, I really hate you!"

Xu Wei punched him in the chest.

Xu Shaodong didn’t move, enduring all her actions, waiting for Xu Wei to finish venting, before embracing her, "Xu Wei, listen to me, being with Jiang Xun only has benefits for you and no harms. You’re husband and wife, that’s normal between you two. By that time, you’ll bear his child, and I’ll be the child’s uncle!"

Xu Wei was already emotionally collapsing, and now listening to Xu Shaodong’s words, Xu Wei’s emotions intensified as she uncontrollably pushed Xu Shaodong away, she was hysterical—

"Enough! This is my life, my feelings, don’t enforce what you like onto me, I don’t love, not one bit! Having another child with him would be torment for me, you know?"

Mother told her not to divorce Jiang Xun; now Xu Shaodong is here to persuade her to live well with Jiang Xun.

She’s a person, not a cat or dog.

Who is good to her, what she wants, how could she not distinguish clearly herself!

"I’ll say it again, I don’t need you to arrange my life. If any of you still say this, is it only by my death would you rest?"

Rong Yanqiao told her not to die, to endure, to hang in there.

But how to endure this long path of life?

Xu Shaodong never expected Xu Wei to pull a knife from under the pillow. As she aimed it at her neck, Xu Shaodong grabbed it.

The sharp blade cut straight into his palm, and fresh red blood flowed out.

"Xu Wei, you really are crazy! Do you think everything would start over if you die?"

Xu Shaodong’s eyes were bloodshot.

To die means the end, there is no next life.

The next life is merely a comfort from regret.

The strength difference between a man and a woman is there, and Xu Wei couldn’t take back the knife from Xu Shaodong’s hand.

Seeing the blood flowing from Xu Shaodong’s hand, Xu Wei felt distressed.

But she could only control her emotions, turning her head away, refusing to look at Xu Shaodong again, "If I die, maybe things don’t start over, but everything would cease. If I die, I wouldn’t suffer, that would be the end!"

That’s what Xu Wei thought.

"Slap!"

Xu Shaodong raised his hand and slapped her face.

He coldly scolded, "Stop talking nonsense here. Xu Wei, hear me clearly, our parents didn’t raise you easily, if you dare to die, even in death you’ll be Jiang Xun’s wife, you die, you would still lie in Jiang Family’s cemetery!"

To kill someone by attacking their heart, no more than that.

She wanted to die to escape Jiang Xun, even under such circumstances, Xu Shaodong still hurt her in this way.

How unwilling she was to be with Jiang Xun, yet even after death, to be tied to the Jiang Family, so cruel. But then again, she’d be dead, how could she know what happens after death?
