Ding Suzhu, a woman like her, never cared about money. In her heart, emotions have always been more important than money.

Money is just an external thing, not brought at birth nor taken at death; merely an aid to emotions.

However, because of money, she has been slapped countless times, reality mocking her, laughing at her naivety and pitifulness; in this era, there are still foolish ideas of valuing emotions over money.

Ding Suzhu’s tears broke free, her vision blurred, unable to clearly see the pair of adulterers on the ground.

Xia Xi glanced at her, noticing her actions, and with a taunt, said, "If I were you, I’d take a good look at how they are truly in love."

"What..." Ding Suzhu’s voice was somewhat hoarse, her face full of confusion.

Xia Xi chuckled playfully and said, "Remember how they are in love! When they separate, it will be unforgettable, so I hope you imprint this scene in your mind and never forget it!"

In a sense, Xia Xi and Gu Tong are of the same type; ruthless to others and even more to themselves.

They spare no effort to polish themselves into perfection, even to the point of being invincible, only then can they be flawless, achieving true perfection!

Such people are terrifying, yet also pathetic.

Because they have experienced hardships, suffered disasters, deeply knowing the taste of pain, they protect themselves like hedgehogs, covered in armor, giving no enemy any chance.

"Remember this scene..." What Ding Suzhu desperately wanted to forget, Xia Xi explicitly told her to remember it well.

Their ideas conflicted, Ding Suzhu couldn’t comprehend Xia Xi’s intentions at all.

In this regard, Xia Xi was clearly not anxious nor bothered, showing no urgency.

Some things are not achieved overnight; to truly wake up, one must feel through the heartache. After total despair, new hope is found.

Clearly, Ding Suzhu is very hurt now, but she hasn’t yet awakened.

...

Meanwhile.

Ding Caiyan, trembling, touched Ma Zongyu’s continuously bleeding head and said, "Old Ma, old Ma... don’t die... does it hurt... say something..."

Ma Zongyu took a hit, completely dazed, collapsed to the ground.

However, even like this, he dared not breathe loudly nor open his eyes, fearing Xia Xi might hit him again, risking his life. So, he simply played dead.

Ding Caiyan was clueless, merely thinking Ma Zongyu was seriously injured, about to die, hurriedly said, "Ding Suzhu, are you even human! You instructed thugs to beat old Ma, causing such injuries... If old Ma dies, I will make you pay with your life!"

She righteously accused Ding Suzhu, never considering her own status, nor what right she had to criticize the wife.

"Say no more, quickly get money! I need to take old Ma for treatment; seeing him like this, perhaps he needs surgery, that will cost a lot of money!"

In truth, regardless of Ma Zongyu’s condition, it mattered little. Ding Caiyan just wanted to seize this opportunity to extract a sum from Ding Suzhu.

Once there’s money, whether to treat or not doesn’t matter!

Primarily, Ding Caiyan didn’t believe Ma Zongyu was seriously injured; otherwise, she wouldn’t be making such a fuss.

"For treatment..." Ding Suzhu hesitated. Though she wanted Ma Zongyu to learn a lesson, she never intended for him to die.
