After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife deeply regretted her actions.

"boom!"

A violent aura erupted from Chen Yun, causing the ground to crack with patterns resembling a spider web.

The terrifying force sent Zhou Shanshan flying, crashing into the wall like a cannonball.

The dagger had shattered into dozens of pieces, scattered all over the ground.

"Cough cough!"

Zhou Shanshan's body crashed against the wall and landed with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust. She tried weakly to get up, coughing up a large amount of blood...

"This, how is this possible? This dagger is made of star steel!"

A shadow fell from above, enveloping Zhou Shanshan's body.

She slowly raised her head and looked at Chen Yun, who had a cold expression in front of her.

"It's over! We're completely doomed now!"

Death was imminent, and Zhou Shanshan's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Painful cries emanated from every part of her body; many bones were broken, yet Zhou Shanshan felt no pain.

Only fear, nothing but fear!

However, after waiting for a long time, Zhou Shanshan still didn't see Chen Yun make a move. Suddenly, she was shocked: "You, you're not going to kill me?"

Chen Yun's expression was indifferent, revealing no other emotion: "Why would I kill you? It would only dirty my hands."

"Go and turn yourself in, confess your crimes, and repent for your sins in prison."

At this point, Chen Yun paused, his tone turning colder: "But remember this. If I ever see you anywhere outside of prison, I will kill you!"

"I...I understand..." Zhou Shanshan collapsed weakly to the ground, her eyes filled with deep sorrow.

"I came from a poor family and placed all my hopes on studying, hoping to change my fate."

"In elementary and middle school, I was always first in the whole school, and in the end, I even entered the prestigious school where Cheng Qingyue and the others were with the best grades... I thought my life would be smooth sailing from then on, but I was completely wrong!"

"It was there that I truly understood the meaning of the saying 'amniotic fluid is a watershed moment in life'—even with a full scholarship and no expensive tuition, even something as simple as eating was a huge problem for me... Everything at that school was too expensive. A regular lunch cost 30 yuan, which was my living expenses for a week during junior high school!"

"I had no choice but to try every means to earn money, doing other people's homework, cleaning, buying meals... I worked so hard, and I could only afford to eat a full meal—while the poorest student there, besides me, had more than 1000 yuan a week for living expenses!!"

"Cheng Qingyue was the girl from the wealthiest family in the school. She had a perfect appearance and a privileged background; she was the undisputed princess of the school... Almost every girl in the school envied Cheng Qingyue's life, and I was no exception..."

"It wasn't until after I graduated high school that I learned of the Tang Clan's existence by chance. At that moment, I finally found a chance to defy fate..."

"So I came up with this plan: to have Yue Wenwen seduce Zhou Chen, a real estate tycoon, and marry him. After their marriage, I would poison Zhou Chen, so that Yue Wenwen could inherit all his wealth..."

Zhou Shanshan's voice stopped abruptly. She slowly raised her head and looked at Chen Yun, who had never interrupted her: "I know I've taken the wrong path. I don't intend to argue about anything, and I understand that I should pay the price for this... Thank you for listening to me finish what I have to say."

“Unlike other sects, the Tang Sect is extremely domineering and especially protective of its own… Although I am just an ordinary outer disciple, if the Tang Sect finds out what happened to me, they will definitely try to harm you…”

Chen Yun did not answer, and turned to walk outside.

Zhou Shanshan collapsed to the ground, watching Chen Yun's retreating figure as he disappeared from sight.

Then she heard this saying: "Let him be strong, the breeze still caresses the mountain; let him be arrogant, the bright moon still shines on the great river—life is your own, why compare yourself to others?"

"Life is your own, why compare yourself to others..." Zhou Shanshan pondered these words carefully, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.

......

Stepping out of the hotel, Chen Yun took out his phone to ask for the address of Cheng Qingyue Hospital, then stood there waiting for the chauffeured car.

Throughout his life, he has seen and met countless people like Zhou Shanshan.

Everyone, whether due to their own greed, comparison with others, or extreme poverty, ultimately chooses to embark on a crooked path.

Chen Yun acknowledged that many people in society not only did this, but also used this method to achieve a high social status and even considerable wealth.

But, just like the words he left for Zhou Shanshan, "Life is your own, why compare yourself to others?"

Happiness comes from contentment, while suffering comes from comparison.

Among the billions of people in the world, even Chen Yun, how could he dare to say that he could surpass everyone in every aspect?

Zhou Shanshan admired Cheng Qingyue and compared herself to Cheng Qingyue, but little did she know that there was more than one "Cheng Qingyue" in the world.

When a person is reduced to symbols like wealth and status, comparisons will never stop!

A few minutes later, the vehicle arrived.

Chen Yun got into the car and drove off towards the hospital.

......

Jiangnan City Second People's Hospital.

First aid outdoors.

Cheng Qingyue and Zhang Hu, along with a group of old classmates, all rushed over and were anxiously waiting at the door.

No one could have imagined that a perfectly good wedding would end up being the bride and groom's funeral!

A few minutes later, Yuewen was wheeled out by a nurse.

Because she was taken to the hospital in time and underwent gastric lavage, Yuewen regained consciousness quite quickly.

"The patient's life is in danger! Who among you is a family member? Sign the papers immediately! We must perform surgery right now!"

The door to the emergency room suddenly opened, and a male doctor in the emergency room held a critical condition notice in his hand, looking anxiously at the others present.

Patient's family?

The group of old classmates looked at each other and fell silent.

At this critical moment, it was Cheng Qingyue who stepped forward and said to the male doctor, "Doctor, the patient's family members live too far away and can't come right now. The only family member is his wife, but she just had her stomach pumped and has only recently regained consciousness, so she probably can't sign the consent form yet..."
