Actually, the business world was really cruel. Now, all that people saw and remembered was Min Guocheng, and they clearly forgot that there was another man called Chu Lui. Perhaps not long later, there would be people who did not even know that name.

Actually, it was not just the business world; people were the same, too.

Many people had already forgotten that some people were not around anymore.

Song Wan sent Chu Xiang to school. Now, she had not talked to many people and even had to avoid them when she saw them. When she thought back about her previous days, she did not know if she was dreaming in the past and had already woken up.

She did not even dare to walk past people and was more afraid that people would mention ‘Chu Enterprise’.

Her son, who had always been prideful since young, was already used to hiding himself in the dark and would not come out anymore. Every time she thought about this, she would want to cry.

When she picked a road that fewer people would walk by, she met the person that she had not seen in a long time and was still afraid of.

“Long time, no see, Auntie Song.”

This ‘long time, no see’ phrase made Song Wan’s heart shudder and lose the color on her lips. She started to tremble subconsciously.

“What exactly do you want?” She laughed bitterly. “The company is gone; Ah Lui had become like that. Aren’t you done torturing our family?”

Xia Ruoxin suddenly laughed, and she broke into a smile. However, something dark was still in her eyes.

“Auntie, do you think it’s enough?”

“Is it not?” Even if Song Wan wanted to quarrel with her now, she could not, was not willing to, and had no energy for it at all. She really felt like she was about to die.

“Auntie had enough, but I haven’t.” Xia Ruoxin smiled lightly. The bigger the smile on her face, the more her heart hurt. It was a wound that had just been ripped open.

“Your son is still here, but my daughter isn’t. How can you return her a kidney, a life? How can you return a life to me?”

Song Wan sat down weakly.

At this point, she already had no idea whose fault it was.

Could it really be that she was wrong? Could it really be that all of this was because of her?

Xia Ruoxin walked over and hugged her arms. Clearly, she looked like she could not withstand the wind. However, at this point, even the strongest blow could not affect her one bit.

She squatted down and met with Song Wan’s eyes.

“Auntie, why don’t you tell me? Why don’t you just die?”

She asked coldly. Many people had told her this sentence before.

Xia Ruoxin, why don’t you just die? Yes, she asked herself too, why she did not just die? Now, she finally understood why did she not die just yet… because she had to witness other people’s death personally.

She extended her beautiful fingers and patted Song Wan’s face. “Auntie, I know that you won’t die so you need to live on properly and witness everything you ever wanted. Everything.

“Your Chu Xiang will grow up and…” She paused. Each and every word was like a knife that stabbed into Song Wan’s heart. “Your son’s failure and pain for his whole life, for life… and your life.”

She said ‘life’ thrice, and every one of them twisted the knife in her heart.

Xia Ruoxin had said it and done it.

She made Song Wan suffer, but this suffering could not even compare to her pain now—not even one-tenth of her pain—and could not compare to her and her daughter’s two lives.

This life… they had to repay what they owed.

No matter how long, they had to repay it.

The sky was dark, and it had always been like that.

It wasn’t because they didn’t deserve any retribution. It simply wasn’t their time yet.

Then, she stood up, and her thin heel stepped on the floor. Her leg had a beautiful curve, and it was so pretty that it mesmerized people. However, her entire body was now filled with all sorts of thorns.

Once anyone went near, they would get injured and be hurt.

A sports car stopped in front of her. When the door opened, Min Guocheng walked over and took off his sunglasses before smiling.

“May I have the honor to have dinner with this beautiful lady?”

Xia Ruoxin looked back slightly before smiling and raising her hand. The man was a bit shocked, and within his bright eyes, he smiled even more and held the woman’s pearly white fingers tightly.

Both of them sat on the car and left behind a trail of dust that covered Song Wan.

Some people had always been at the top just like Song Wan. However, she finally understood what it felt to be despised and looked down on by other people.

While trembling, she took out her phone from her bag. As her hand trembled, the phone dropped on the floor. She picked it up again, and luckily, it had not spoiled.

“Hello, Yixuan? It’s me. I need to meet you.”

Not long later, Song Wan met Xia Yixuan at the apartment that Xia Yixuan let her live in previously. Xia Yixuan had already arrived; compared to Song Wan’s exhaustion and weakness, she had been having quite a good time.

“Yixuan…” Once Song Wan saw Xia Yixuan, it was as though she was grabbing onto the last strand of grass to save herself. Yes, the strand of life-saving grass; Xia Yixuan had always been Song Wan’s life-saving grass.

If she did not hold onto it tightly, she would fall to her death and break into pieces.

“Yixuan, you’re here. You must help Auntie. You must help Auntie.”

Song Wan held Xia Yixuan’s hand tightly. “Xia Ruoxin must be crazy, you know? She’s insane. She destroyed the Chu Enterprise, and she still wants Ah Lui’s life and my life…!”

She yelled out loud, and her pair of hands almost sank into Xia Yixuan’s skin. There was a flash of hatred in Xia Yixuan’s eyes, but she still said it.

“Auntie, don’t be anxious. Let’s talk it out slowly. Sit down first.”

“Okay, okay.” Song Wan sat down with her help and kept muttering, “Xia Ruoxin is crazy; she’s crazy.”

Now, who was the crazy one? Xia Yixuan was not blind.

“Yixuan, what are we going to do now?”

“What to do?” Xia Yixuan lifted her fingers and placed them on the table before knocking it slightly. Knock, knock. These knocks were just like a demon’s voice wanting someone’s life, pushing Song Wan to a dead end.

“Auntie, I have a way. But… do you dare? Will you?”

“What kind of way?” There was a flash in Song Wan’s eyes.

Xia Yixuan’s lips curved upwards and there was some blood on her plum-like lips. Then, her lips separated, and the words that came out next were unusually scary.

“Kill her.”

Piak! Song Wan accidentally dropped the cup on the table onto the floor. Every shattered piece of the cup was reflecting Xia Yixuan’s sick smile and that distorted face.
