She slowly made her way to Tang Xiaoyu’s side.

  What entered her sight was her best friend’s wrist, which was carefully wrapped.

  She suddenly knew how her best friend had committed suicide……

  “Are you stupid?! Why are you so foolish?! Do you think that committing suicide can solve your problem?!”


  All the pity she felt for her instantly transformed into anger.

  She was furious that her best friend did not love herself, furious that she did not put her life first, and furious that she had hurt herself.

  Hence, she could not help but reprimand her.

  However, immediately after she said that, she regretted it.

  After all, her best friend was almost at death’s door, but what she did not expect was that, right after she finished shouting that, the woman who had been lying on the bed as though she were dead, would suddenly sit up.

  “Yes! I am foolish and am stupid! I have never been cleverer and more lovable than you!”


  Tang Xiaoyu’s face blanched an unhealthy shade of white. With a crazed look, she glared at Pei Ge with eyes full of unspeakable grievance and anger.

  “Have you still not recovered your mind?! Are you still blaming me over a man?”


  Hearing this, she felt disappointment at once.

  Her best friend was actually holding a grudge against her over a man, who did not care about her at all…… This made her feel helpless and angry……

  “What do you know?! You don’t know anything!”


  The other glared at her. Her gaze was not what one would see on a friend but on an enemy, instead.

  “Don’t I know? I know everything! Just because Gu Zhengrong likes me, you hate me and think that I’m causing you misfortune and unhappiness!”


  Stunned, her anger-filled face slackened.

  “We’ve been good friends since young, yet you’re shouting at me now over a man! You’re even holding a grudge against me. Who do you think is in the wrong here?!”


  Pei Ge spoke in a heartbroken voice, truly feeling hurt by her best friend’s words and actions.

  She examined her conscience and felt that she had never done anything untoward to her best friend, yet she was actually being hated on over a man. How could she not be hurt?

  “I’ve neither done anything inappropriate toward him nor entertained any romantic thoughts on him. I also didn’t know that he was that Asian boy our family had once sponsored many years back.”


  She sucked in a deep breath and held back her tears, continuing softly, “In my heart, you’ve always been an important family member. I’d rather get myself hurt than see you in pain.

  “Yet you’re treating me like this over a man and not cherishing yourself.

  “Do you think you have done right? Do you think that you can answer to me, to your parents, and to yourself?! It’s just a man!”


  Her words were so sincere and bitter as she spoke her feelings aggrievedly.

  “It’s just a man……” softly repeated Tang Xiaoyu before suddenly laughing aloud. “You have everything now, so it’s easy for you to say that. My child is gone, and Zhengrong doesn’t want me anymore……”
