Once Jiang Wumei had left, Huo Qiming stood gazing at the corpse inside the coffin before collapsing to the floor, his face buried in his hands, filled with overwhelming remorse.
He had not known that Xu Junjun held feelings for him.
No wonder that ever since they married, she had never maintained ties with the Xu family.
No wonder that every time she saw him, she had looked at him with such disgust.
She had been utterly disappointed in him; her love had turned to hatred!
Had he known this would happen, he would never have married her, nor would he have driven her to such an end.
Now, it was all too late.
Striding out of the mourning hall, Jiang Wumei felt the chill of the night air, which gradually doused her fury. Her words from moments ago had been half-truth and half-fabrication—a narrative she had carefully crafted, drawing from information in the book to create the most advantageous case for Xu Junjun. Her sole purpose in coming to the Huo Estate today had been to verify if that corpse was indeed Xu Junjun, and then to vent some of her rage on her behalf.
