Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 888 - 336: If Only Time Could Turn Back (Part 5)

This was the first time she openly expressed her grievances and feelings.

Because she was grateful for everything the Lu Family had given her, she was always very cautious.

Everyone thought she was sensible, accepting whatever was given to her, so, on the day the engagement was called off, she was only informed in a formulaic manner.

Song Jingyuan’s heart now completely hung on Shen Weiyi, completely overlooking Lin Chu who sat quietly on the sofa.

With tears flowing, she explained, "Weiwei, you know, back when Lu Family was nearly facing bankruptcy, if Lin Family hadn’t stepped in to help, who knows how things might have been. We had no other choice, so..."

She originally intended to ease her daughter-in-law, but didn’t expect Shen Weiyi would return home at this moment.

The previously closed door was unlocked, exposing a secret buried for over a decade right in front of Shen Weiyi.

Such a thing is hard to accept for anyone.

What to do...

Song Jingyuan’s voice choked with sobs, low in pitch, but Lin Chu was in the room, only a few steps away. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

These words landed word by word into Lin Chu’s ears.

Lin Chu didn’t react much, just sat quietly, slightly lowered her head, letting her smooth long hair fall to obscure a third of her small face.

If Song Jingyuan and Shen Weiyi hadn’t blocked the way out, she would have avoided such a scene long ago.

Like an outsider.

Shen Weiyi did know that Lin Family’s contribution was indispensable for Lu Family’s current standing, but at that time, the financial issues could have been resolved through other means, such as seeking help from the Gu Family or other families.

Lin Chu’s father was just the first and most proactive, altering her destiny.

"Does Huai’an know about your heart...?"

Song Jingyuan could no longer hide it from her, "Yes, but only recently, last year during those months I was gravely ill, thinking I was near death, I told Huai’an everything."

Shen Weiyi staggered back two steps.

The pale lips drew a desolate curve.

No wonder, no wonder since then he has complied with her every request, even late at night, as long as she called, he would come over.

There is always a reason behind everything.

Shen Weiyi looked coldly at Song Jingyuan, asked the final question, "I remember, my mother wasn’t that severely sick. Did she end her life to give you her heart because you were in desperate straits in the emergency room?"

Turns out, the affluent life she enjoyed was built upon her mother’s corpse.

Song Jingyuan covered her cheeks, tears streaming, unable to utter a single word.

Even without an answer, Shen Weiyi understood.

Her gaze shifted from desolation to resentment, glaring fiercely at Song Jingyuan, her fingernails breaking the tender skin of her palm, blood seeping, but she seemed unaware of the pain.

"Weiwei..."

Shen Weiyi brushed aside Song Jingyuan’s hand, coldly stating, "I don’t want to hear your selfish excuses any longer. From today onwards, I’ll move out. All the money I’ve spent from the Lu Family over the years, I’ll repay in full. I hope when I’ve saved enough, you can return my mother to me."

With that, she turned to leave.

Song Jingyuan’s weak body was pushed down onto the floor, Lin Chu hurried over to help her up, "Careful."

Song Jingyuan, ignoring Lin Chu, still beset by dizziness, chased after Shen Weiyi, "Weiwei, listen to me..."

She caught up with Shen Weiyi, tear-stained face, at the stairway, only to be coldly interrupted, "Everything is clear, no need to waste words. I’m grateful for your upbringing these years, but I can’t accept it."

Concerned for Song Jingyuan’s health, Lin Chu emerged from the bedroom.

She didn’t engage in any words between the two; she just stood quietly.

Song Jingyuan held Shen Weiyi’s hand, tears blurring her vision, her voice trembling, "I know, I know. It’s my fault. It’s right to blame and resent..."

Shen Weiyi closed her eyes, ruthlessly shoved her away, almost shouting, "You know nothing!"

"Ah!"

The cry of surprise echoed.

Lin Chu instinctively lifted her head.

The pushed Song Jingyuan stumbled and missed a step, tumbling down the stairs, shattering the quiet of the living room.

The accident happened too suddenly.

As Song Jingyuan lay silent on the floor after rolling down the stairs, fresh blood gradually flowed from the back of her head, Shen Weiyi and Lin Chu, standing on the second floor, had no time to react.

Blood...
