Chapter 340: Worse Than a Stranger
"Wang Yizhi truly displayed a heartless disposition. He knew he would not survive, yet he was willing to drag his wife down with him," remarked one individual.
"He was quite pitiable in a way. He could forsake his own life for the sake of fame and fortune," another opined.
"If his wife hadn’t pressured him so relentlessly, perhaps he wouldn’t have come to this end," added one of Wang Yizhi’s former innmates.
"Heartbreaking. It’s a tale of one willing to strive and the other ready to suffer, neither of them truly virtuous," the innmate briefly explained, touching upon Wang Yizhi’s abandonment of his ex-wife.
The family members present couldn’t help but criticize Wang Yizhi, expressing a consensus that he and his wife had brought their misfortunes upon themselves.
"Wang Yizhi certainly has no luck. He left his ex-wife, who was from the prestigious Hou family, nearly driven to her death and abandoned by him. This retribution is well-deserved," one person asserted.
"Indeed, not even the heavens would pardon an ungrateful soul like him," another concurred.
The person sharing this information continued, "My son and Wang Yizhi were classmates, and they used to have a decent relationship. However, ever since he met his corpulent wife, he changed. He became vain and aspired to live a wealthy person’s life. He would stop at nothing to achieve his ambitions, even daring to harm his own wife."
