The two of them exchanged a few more casual words and were about to end their conversation.

This time, Gu Tong, without saying a word, headed downstairs.

As she reached the stairs, she heard a shout coming from the street outside the window of the stairwell.

The voice was so familiar that Gu Tong recognized it immediately.

It was Ding Suzhu’s heart-wrenching scream, mixed with endless sobbing, shouting: "Ma Zongyu, you are not human!"

The pain was suffocating, almost like a desperate roar of anger.

"I am not human? How about you, you damn bitch! You pushed me to the brink, and I swear I’ll make you pay!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Ma Zongyu’s furious roar came through: "I’m telling you, don’t even think about dumping me and keeping a gigolo! Even if I turn into a ghost in this lifetime, I will haunt you, you damn bitch!"

Ding Suzhu sobbed bitterly, never imagining that Ma Zongyu could treat her this way...

He even hit her on the street, leaving her no dignity, while cursing with such filthy words.

Ding Caiyan stood by, adding fuel to the fire, saying: "Sister, why do you need so much money? You can’t take it to the grave. How can you be so greedy and split up with Old Ma, hurting his feelings?"

Like a seductive demon snake, she clung to Ma Zongyu’s shoulder, asserting her control while gloating, saying: "If you ask me, you should just hand over the money, and this whole thing will be over. You’ll save yourself the physical pain and the embarrassment of being publicly humiliated."

Ding Suzhu recklessly took back the money from Ma Zongyu and removed his shares.

Without the bragging rights, it turned into an especially ugly scene.

Ma Zongyu had long been embarrassed into anger, boiling with rage!

Ding Suzhu felt unbearable sorrow, saying: "It was you who offended Miss Bai. What could I do? Temporarily removing you from the position was a stopgap measure. Can’t you endure it?"

"I am your man! Why should I endure it?" Ma Zongyu’s fury was boundless, saying: "I told you that day! I asked you to speak kindly to Miss Bai! But what did you do instead? You insisted on getting me removed! I think you’ve been plotting against me all along."

Some people just don’t appreciate kindness, with hearts crooked and filled with filth, thinking everyone is like that.

They use every possible means to compete for fame and benefit, but in reality, they’re scheming against themselves.

Ding Suzhu was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, her body swayed, almost losing her balance, saying: "Is that how you see me..."

Sometimes, until something happens, it’s hard to realize that the people around you have already changed.

Deceiving oneself with self-righteous kindness, only to be slapped harshly by reality, left in shambles.

That’s exactly how Ding Suzhu feels now.

Back when she married Ma Zongyu, she hardly had a single good day.

But she loved him, wanted to share his burdens, so she worked hard with her own hands to earn everything, still wanting to share it with him.

The wealth they have now is more than enough for a comfortable life together.

Yet still...

Their relationship has changed, love is gone, and the affection has disappeared.

It seems forced strangers living together have a better situation than them.

Ding Suzhu glanced at Ding Caiyan, who was snuggled against Ma Zongyu, as if she was happier than herself at this moment.

At least there was someone who cherished her.

Ding Caiyan covered her mouth, chuckling lightly, saying: "Sister, how can you say that? Let people hear it, and they might think Old Ma’s heart is really crooked."
