Jiang Nan Fang was resolute.
"I saw her open a pill and swallow it right in front of me, then stuff the packaging back into her pocket."
"She showed signs of poisoning before jumping off the building. How could it be so obvious that even the police couldn't see it?"
As she spoke, she turned to look at Zhan Bei Jue.
"Did you do it? To protect the Zhan family's reputation, to leave a false good name for your wicked mother, you're not afraid to fake things?"
Zhan Bei Jue remained silent.
He merely looked at her with an infinitely deep gaze.
As if pleading with her, even for his sake, for the child's sake, to leave his mother with a sliver of dignity.
Five days ago, if he had looked at her like this, Jiang Nan Fang would have certainly compromised.
But now, everything was different.
Facing the tragic fate of Ke Teng and Ke Jing Yu.
Facing her own grave mistake, she hated Zhou Wan Jun, hated Zhan Bei Jue, and how could she still see love in him?
All she could see was endless selfishness and baseness!
"You're tacitly admitting it? Heh, as expected of Zhou Wan Jun's son. Just as selfish and self-serving as your mother!"
"Let me tell you another fact, Zhan Bei Jue. Your mother told me this herself before she died."
"She was a strong woman, and in this life, she couldn't tolerate betrayal the most. The first person who betrayed her was your father, so she killed him."
"The second person who wronged her was me, so she wanted to harm me too."
"Unfortunately, I didn't die. So, next, I will expose all her past scandals and make them public!"
"I want everyone who knows your Zhan family, your Zhou family, and the entire South City, the entire world, to know what kind of woman Zhou Wan Jun truly is!"
"She said she never experienced love and being loved in this life? Serves her right!"
"A woman as selfish and self-serving as her, only a blind man would love her!"
Before she had fainted, Jiang Nan Fang had clearly put aside their past grievances and tried to mend their relationship.
But because Ke Teng had an accident, the distance between them suddenly widened again.
Seeing her speak about his mother like this in front of outsiders,
Each word was a sharp stab to Zhan Bei Jue's heart.
Although his mother had indeed done wrong,
She would never have harmed his father.
His father had been so terrible back then, he himself...
"Nan Fang, my mother did wrong you in some ways, and your scolding is understandable. But let's discuss this based on facts. Don't fabricate things out of anger."
"My father has been dead for over a decade, and now she is also dead. I cannot agree to you spewing slander on them simply to atone for your own mistakes in front of Mr. Ke."
Jiang Nan Fang became furious.
"You don't agree? Then what do you want? To set a trap and kill me like your mother?"
"Fine, then come on! You have the guts to do bad things but not the guts to let people talk about it. Is this the style of your Zhan family?"
"I must have been blind to not see how deeply devoted you are to your mother! To protect your mother, you'll say anything!"
She had fainted twice already and had only just regained consciousness.
Zhan Bei Jue knew she was emotionally unstable and didn't want to anger her further.
Therefore, even though her words were harsh, he steadied his breath and suppressed his emotions.
"You're emotionally unstable now, and I won't argue with you. I can't help you here, so you should come back with me to rest."
Go back with him to rest?
She probably wanted to shut her up!
Jiang Nan Fang grew even more annoyed.
"I will not go back with you! Zhan Bei Jue, I'm going to the police right now to tell them everything I know!"
"If they dare to cover for you, not punish Zhou Wan Jun, and not give Ke Teng justice, I will investigate it myself!"
"At that time, I will find all the media and reporters in South City to tell the public what kind of woman your mother really is!"
"From now on, I won't say another word to you, unless we meet on the battlefield!"
"Leave. Don't let me see your fake face again!"
"You!"
Zhan Bei Jue was almost angered to death by her heartless words.
"These are things my mother did, not me. Jiang Nan Fang, can you discuss this based on facts and not drag me into it?"
"You already promised to reconcile with me. What do you mean by saying this now?"
"Your mother almost killed me, and after harming my friend and leaving them in a vegetative state, you expect me to pretend nothing happened and continue being friends with you?"
"Zhan Bei Jue, in your eyes, am I, Jiang Nan Fang, such a foolish person who can't distinguish right from wrong and lets you manipulate me?"
"..."
She was acting like a madwoman now.
Zhan Bei Jue knew she was sentimental and that Ke Teng's accident had hit her too hard, causing her to act this way.
She didn't mean it.
So, he couldn't take anything she said seriously.
"You clearly like me, and what's between us isn't something someone else can easily mess up."
"Nan Fang, I know you're not in a good mood right now. I can handle everything that bothers you."
"Please calm down, don't say anything you'll regret, and don't let these messy things affect us, okay?"
That's right, before she had fainted, Jiang Nan Fang had indeed thought that.
She liked Zhan Bei Jue.
Rather than live a life of pain and fight him to the death, it was better to let go of grudges and live well.
But now, everything had changed.
She couldn't possibly step on Ke Teng's shoulders to toast with the son of her enemy.
They could never go back to how they were.
"There are no messy things affecting us! Because we have no feelings for each other!"
"Don't you know how excessive your mother's words and actions were to me before she jumped? If I forgive you again, I'll be a pig!"
"Stop talking, leave! I never want to hear her name or see her son again! Hurry up and leave!"
Zhan Bei Jue had finally recognized his feelings and wanted to start anew.
He was unwilling to watch things get worse and worse.
He insisted on saying, "Nan Fang, listen to me..."
Jiang Nan Fang suddenly roared.
"I told you to leave, can't you hear? Don't say anything! You disgust me right now! Get out, get out!"
"Do you still remember the secret I promised you? We said that once I got better, we would go and uncover it together!"
Jiang Nan Fang rushed forward, grabbed a basket of fruit from the bedside table, and unceremoniously threw it at him.
"What secret, what secret, keep it to tell your mother in hell! I never want to see you again in this life! Zhan Bei Jue, get out!"
After all the fruit was thrown, there was a small fruit knife left in the basket.
Jiang Nan Fang grabbed it, pulled off the sheath, and stared fiercely at Zhan Bei Jue.
"If you don't leave, I'll stab you with this! Get out!"
However, Zhan Bei Jue was unyieldingly determined today.
He knew that if he left now, she would completely belong to Ke Jing Yu, and he would never be able to win her back again.
Therefore, even if Jiang Nan Fang threatened him with a knife,
He had to make her see his stance.
