“The two of them grew up and went to school together. It was only natural for them to get married.

“But after they got married, my sister found out that this man was sleeping with other women outside of their marriage. That woman even gave birth to a son for him.

“When my sister exposed all of this, the man pretended to have changed and said that the only woman he would ever love was her. No other woman could compare to my sister.”

Jiang Yan sneered. Her eyes were filled with contempt.

“He broke my sister’s heart, but he never once thought that he was in the wrong.”

“What about your sister now?” Pei Xin asked. “Did she file for a divorce?”

“No, because she’s dead.” Jiang Yan shook her head with a bitter smile.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know about this.” Pei Xin quickly apologized.

Jiang Yan shook her head.

“It’s okay. She died two years after giving birth.

“After she found out about the truth, my sister fell into depression. She often cried and hid in her room. Everytime I came to visit, her eyes were empty and she was unresponsive.

“Then one day, she took her son and jumped off the building, leaving this world.”

Pei Xin clenched her fists. “It must have been hard knowing the trust and not being able to do anything about it. It was like she lost everything.”

Jiang Yan chuckled. “That’s right. That’s why I swore from then on that I would take care of unfortunate women and give them the ability to fight against evil forces. I want those sc*mbags to suffer the consequences of their actions.” “What about that man? What happened to him?” Pei Xin asked again.

Jiang Yan clenched her fists. “I haven’t done anything yet, but I’ve been building connections over the years. For example, I’ve set up a company in Beijing and secretly competed with his family.

“Since you’ve decided to return to the capital, I’m hoping you’d help to build up my company. My goal is to replace his company and make him lose everything.”

After hearing Jiang Yan’s story, Pei Xin’s heart tightened.

“Who is this person?” she asked hurriedly.

“Shen Mu.”

Pei Xin widened her eyes.

Shen Mu was also one of the four great families in the capital.

It was just that the Shen family had declined over the years and was now ranked at the bottom of the four great families.

The Shen family had developed in the capital for many years and had a solid foundation. It was not easy to shake them.

When she was still the young lady of the Pei family, she had heard about the Shen family’s situation.

Shen Mu was the eldest son of the family. The Shen family had another daughter, Shen Jing.

She heard that Shen Mu already had a marriage set out for him. Moreover, Shen Mu himself was very outstanding and had been a top student since he was young.

He had even studied abroad and obtained a double degree.

The things about his private life were rarely revealed to the outside world. Everyone only knew that he was a gentle and good man with excellent character.

Before she went to prison, Shen Mu was still unmarried.

Therefore, what Jiang Yan said about her sister marrying Shen Mu and then committing suicide should have happened during the five years she was in prison.

Pei Xin looked at Jiang Yan firmly. “I will definitely work hard to grow your company and make it stronger. I will expose Shen Mu’s actions to the world.” Jiang Yan revealed a rare smile. “Thank you, I know it’ll be very difficult. Don’t worry, I don’t expect you to do all of that. You just have to be my eyes for now.” “Alright.”

While the two of them were talking, they had already arrived at Pei Xin’s house.

This time, Jiang Yan did not enter.

After Pei Xin returned home, Jiang Yan went to a cemetery.

The picture on the tombstone showed a gentle and demure looking woman. It was her sister, Jiang Jia.

Jiang Yan placed a bouquet of flowers on her grave and muttered softly.

“Hey, it’s me again. I hope you’re doing well. It’s been a rough couple of weeks. I just… Do you think I’m a bad person?

“When I checked on Pei Xin’s past, I realized that she was someone we could work with.

“She needed someone to help her so that she wouldn’t be bullied by Lu Li and the others and I needed someone to help me infiltrate the capital and be my eyes to keep an eye on Shen Mu’s every move.

“Pei Xin is so kind and gentle. She reminds me of you. I told her that I wanted to help her out of my own goodwill, but in reality, I just wanted to use her.

“Am I a bad person? Am I making the right choice?”

Jiang Yan sat down and stared blankly into the sky, looking for answers as tears filled her eyes..
