Chapter 413 - 138: The Divine Doctor
Ji Shuran raised her head to look at Jiang Yuanbai.
Her mind was muddled at the moment, as if she were both lucid and not. Fear mixed with resentment made her speak without thinking, and it was only when she came to her senses that she realized she had said things she shouldn’t have.
Once the words were out, there was no going back. Moreover, the things she blurted out in such a situation seemed more like the ugly truth. Suddenly, a sense of despair surged within her.
How had it come to this? Everything today was supposed to be an act, even a play she herself had orchestrated. As for how it would end, and with what outcome, she should have had the final say. But now, with everything in ruins and no way to end it, it had gone far beyond her expectations.
How could she possibly salvage the situation?
She wasn’t much of a believer in ghosts or deities. Since the moment before she left the Jiang residence, when she had bribed Ye Zhenzhen’s maid and caused Ye Zhenzhen’s death, she had lost all reverence for such things. In this world, she believed that one could only depend on oneself for everything one wanted, no matter what the means. If one was weak, one would be slaughtered by others.
She never acted the philanthropist, and hadn’t she come through all these years just fine? Those so-called weak and kind-hearted people, whether it be Ye Zhenzhen or Jiang Yueer, or even her past lovers, and her own flesh and blood, had long since turned to dust. Only she was still alive like blooming flowers, enjoying unfathomable happiness.
Was all this... about to come to an end?
"You killed my Yueer..." Maternal Aunt Hu’s voice was particularly mournful, "You killed my Yueer! You also killed the mistress! How can you be so malicious!"
Ji Shuran turned to look at Maternal Aunt Hu.
