If you and Xu Jin were to become a couple, then the people around me wouldn't suffer this undeserved misfortune.

At that moment, I really went crazy and wanted to divorce Shen Zhixia.

When Shen Zhixia heard me mention the word "divorce" again, her pupils contracted sharply, and the panic on her face vanished instantly.

She stared at me coldly, and asked in a sinister tone, "So you've been complaining to me all this time just to get a divorce?"

"If we get a divorce, you and Xu Jin can be together more easily, right?"

My eyes were bloodshot as I stared at the woman standing before me, my hands clenching tightly at my sides.

Shen Zhixia suddenly gave a cold laugh and asked indifferently, "You're only saying this so you can be with other women, aren't you!"

"what?"

What other woman?

When did I have another woman?

My surprise was just a pretense in Shen Zhixia's eyes.

Her gaze grew colder and colder as she looked at me, her words as icy as ice: "Ji Nanchen, do you think I don't know you went to the Happiness Orphanage with Su Jinyun today?"

Su Jinyun!

I froze, completely unprepared for her to bring this up.

But Jinyun and I have no relationship anymore.

How could she think that?

The next second, as if I had just realized something, I suddenly looked up and met her mocking gaze. "Shen Zhixia, you had someone follow me?!"

"I was just worried that you weren't in good health and that if something happened to you while you were out, no one would be there to save you. Who would have thought that you would not only be so lively and energetic, but also have the energy to date other women?"

As Shen Zhixia finished speaking, her expression grew increasingly sinister.

I felt a little flustered, afraid that Shen Zhixia might really do something to Su Jinyun, but I pretended to be calm and didn't let Shen Zhixia see my abnormality.

Su Jinyun is special to me; I treat her like my own younger sister.

I regret what happened in the past, and I want to make it up to her. But I'm not doing any better than her, so all I can do for her is keep my distance and let her start her life anew.

I looked up at Shen Zhixia calmly. "She used to be in the same kindergarten as me. Back then, when Teacher Lin Wanru drowned, she saved me and Su Jinyun."

"It's perfectly reasonable for her to go see Teacher Li Jingtao. Shen Zhixia, don't look at me with your filthy thoughts!"

Upon hearing my words, Shen Zhixia laughed in anger and asked coldly, "Then why didn't your other kindergarten classmates go to that orphanage to play with you?"

"Su Jinyun has a boyfriend."

I was furious at Shen Zhixia's misplaced anger, but I had to explain because I was afraid that this madwoman, Shen Zhixia, would really drag Su Jinyun into it and take revenge on her.

Su Jinyun's life has not been easy either. She has finally achieved what she has today, and she shouldn't be reduced to nothing because of me.

After hearing my roar, Shen Zhixia not only didn't calm down, but instead looked at me and smiled meaningfully.

"Ji Nanchen, are you angry? Is it because you're afraid I'll go after Su Jinyun?"

When I heard that, I suddenly calmed down.

I stared intently at Shen Zhixia standing in front of me. "Shen Zhixia, what do you look like right now?"

"like what?"

Shen Zhixia asked me a question in cooperation, her smile never fading.

I laughed in fury, looking at her mockingly, "You're like a beast without human consciousness. Whenever someone gets close to me, you start to lose your mind. It's because of your controlling nature; you can't stand me being out of your control."

"Shen Zhixia, do you think you might have fallen for me?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhixia, who was standing opposite me, had her pupils shrink and her expression turned even colder. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

I smiled, the curve of my smile widening.

This time I didn't back down. I met Shen Zhixia's sinister gaze with increasingly calm expression.

"Shen Zhixia, if you don't like me, why are you so concerned about whether there are other women around me?"

"When I liked you before, even when I was as humble as dust, you didn't even glance at me. Now that I don't like you anymore, you're starting to get anxious."

"These days, even if I just pay a little more attention to Meng Jinghuai, you get anxious. What else could this be but liking me?"

When I asked her this question, Shen Zhixia was instantly speechless.

I smiled even more brightly, "You like me, so you want to control everything about me and don't want anything about me to exceed your understanding of me. That's why you're wary of Meng Jinghuai and ignore everyone else around me."

Shen Zhixia took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, then stared at me coldly.

"Ji Nanchen, you're so narcissistic!"

"is it?"

I bravely met her gaze and continued, "I think I'm telling the truth, otherwise why don't you have such a strong desire to control Xu Jin?"

When I said that, I had my own agenda.

Based on my previous investigations, Xu Jin is not a good person. He approached Shen Zhixia for his own selfish desires. Now, rather than letting Shen Zhixia focus her attention on Su Jinyun, it would be better to turn her attention to Xu Jin.

Xu Jin, are you ready?

Shen Zhixia frowned almost imperceptibly, finally realizing that something was wrong with me.

"Ji Nanchen, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"You didn't investigate Pei Jin's whereabouts before, so you didn't know he was actually a hypocrite and were completely fooled by him. What about Xu Jin now?"

"If you really care about him that much, why don't you care about his whereabouts at all? Are you afraid that he is the same kind of person as Pei Jin?"

I coaxed her, every word of which was seductive, and I instigated Shen Zhixia to become suspicious of Xu Jin, hoping she would resolve the issue with Xu Jin.

People like Xu Jin deserve their retribution.

"you……"

Shen Zhixia opened her mouth as if to refute my words, but she remained silent for a long time and still didn't know how to refute me.

After a while, I sat back down opposite her and asked, "Shen Zhixia, have you fallen for me?"

"No."

Shen Zhixia gave a decisive and quick answer. I was neither disappointed nor saddened, because I already knew her result.

I'm no longer fixated on this outcome.

I raised an eyebrow slightly and asked with a faint smile, "Then why are you so concerned about my health?"

Shen Zhixia was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.

"If you die, who will I torment?"

"Ji Nanchen, stop being so narcissistic. I married you from the very beginning just to torment you."

“Your father was an alcoholic and gambler, and he was the one who contributed to my brother’s death. As for you, you were there at the scene of Pei Jin’s suicide. I don’t care what kind of person Pei Jin was in the past, but I genuinely liked him. You can’t completely prove your innocence.”

"Ji Nanchen, I married you to torment you and get revenge on you, so no matter how you try to justify yourself today, I will not change my mind."

"Because people like you deserve to live in a dark hell for the rest of their lives."
