Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband-Chapter 552: Feeling Guilty

"Since you claim you didn’t do this, why are you feeling guilty? Your every reaction tells me this was orchestrated by you, and you’re even trying to pin this on someone else."

Ji Yu thought of the person who initially told her about this matter. She didn’t believe it was the work of that person, especially considering how close their relationship was. How could he possibly do such a thing?

"Don’t rush to deny me. Back then, I felt guilty because the situation truly wasn’t looking good, but I absolutely didn’t do anything wrong. There’s a misunderstanding in all of this."

Jiang Huai had already said this much, and it seemed there was indeed some injustice at play.

Feng Qinqin thought this situation wasn’t entirely impossible. After all, they had already been through so much. Perhaps even such an absurd event could be true.

"Yuyu, why don’t we go and investigate what really happened? You should know who first told you about this matter. Let’s go and look into it—it might be better than standing here arguing."

The most pressing issue was that neither of them had any evidence to prove it was the other person’s doing.

"The reason I believe this couldn’t possibly be true is because my older brother told me this. He would never harm my father. He knows very well how much my father means to me."

This was her trust in family. How could she doubt her kin because of Jiang Huai?

"Yu, that’s not what I meant. I was referring to the person who initially brought this news to you all. You might’ve simply forgotten about him."

Jiang Huai was even less likely to admit to anything now.

Ji Yu suddenly felt a pang of fear. She didn’t know what she should do to salvage the situation. Had she overlooked many things? Could it truly have been a misunderstanding?

"Ji Yu, you’re beginning to doubt, aren’t you? You know it’s possible this wasn’t me, especially since you don’t have any evidence in hand."

Ji Yu didn’t continue discussing the topic but looked at him and said, "Don’t you think arguing over this matter is completely pointless for the two of us? In my heart, this was your doing, plain and simple. And you made solemn promises to me back then, yet now this mess has surfaced."

Was this not him breaking his promises? It was clear they had no reason to stay together anymore.

"Yu, I admit this was my mistake—no, it was me failing to keep my promise. But I don’t want you to leave me because of this. That would be incredibly unfair to me. I deeply regret the foolish decision I made back then."

He truly regretted it. If only he had stayed by Hu Jianyu’s side at all times, perhaps such a disastrous situation wouldn’t have occurred.

But no medicine exists to cure regret in this world. Even if his heart was full of remorse, there was no way to change anything now.

"You can hit me, curse me, I don’t care—just don’t ignore me. I know your heart is broken, but this is equally devastating to me."

He had been wrongfully saddled with this blame, and after the event occurred, the dynamic between them had shifted sharply.

"I know what you want to say, but this matter has nothing to do with you or me. I just want to find the true culprit and deal with them properly, that’s all."

They couldn’t be lovers. They couldn’t be partners. They could only become enemies.

"Yu, you can’t treat me so cruelly. Knowing full well I didn’t do this but still making such a decision—it’s unbearably harsh on me."

His eyes were already red, and he looked as though he were about to cry.

"I don’t see how what you said has anything to do with me not bothering to see you anymore. In fact, your words annoy me greatly."

Perhaps there really was nothing left between them, and even any discussion on this seemed pointless.

"Yu, don’t leave me like this. I know I’ve done terribly, but I’ve been constantly praying for your forgiveness and tirelessly chasing the truth behind all this."

"Come back to me when you have clues. I have no plans to stay with you. If I ever find out this was truly your doing, I will tear you apart until there’s nothing left." Ji Yu was already seething with rage.

"Yu, I understand what you mean, but please, don’t hate me and don’t wish me dead."

The thought of her wishing such things was what scared him the most.

Ji Yu, however, was determined not to grant him his wish, so her words in this moment were sharp and merciless.

"You clearly don’t understand how devastating it is for a girl to lose her father. So let me help enlighten you now."

Ji Yu flung her teacup right at his face.

"Someone like you doesn’t even deserve to know me. Frankly, your prior actions should have earned you a long life of suffering."

He had wronged so many people before, and nobody was certain just how many lives he had taken. But he was undoubtedly no good person.

"Yu..." He tried to say something but was cut off.

"Do you think that you feel wronged? Do you know just how wronged my father felt when he passed away? Even though he’s gone on to heaven to see my mother, my heart still feels unbearably heavy."

Ji Yu had always refrained from breaking down and crying openly in front of others. At this moment, she merely dabbed at the corners of her eyes.

"I’m a person of principle. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Every single thing you’ve done will, in time, come back to bite you. You should look forward to it—it’s the kind of love you prefer to dish out."

If he liked others, he could adopt this approach for himself and see how fun it could truly be.

"Jiang Huai, I advise you to leave here immediately. If Yuyu’s emotions worsen, who knows what even crueler things she might do?" Feng Qinqin spoke up to persuade him to leave, for his own good.

"I just want to stay here and keep her company."
