Chapter 163 The Truth Behind Wang Xiaoyu's Death

Living under his parents' watchful eye, with them controlling everything big and small, Shen Yizhi felt suffocated as he grew older.

But Shen Yizhi still didn't resist, because of his brother...

Wang Xiaoyu is a rare example of his rebellion against his parents.

Now, seeing his parents holding a knife and a rope, threatening to kill themselves, Shen Yizhi felt a pang of pain in his heart. He looked at his parents and then at Xiaoyu, unsure of what to do.

Ultimately, Shen Yizhi chose to compromise when his mother showed him a photo of his brother.

"Mom and Dad, I'm going back with you."

Shen Yizhi's eyes were filled with despair, and he was eventually pulled away by his parents, following them step by step as they left.

Behind him, Wang Xiaoyu watched his retreating figure, tears streaming down her face.

Shen Yizhi heard Wang Xiaoyu crying behind him. He wanted to turn around, to go back and hug Wang Xiaoyu to comfort her.

But then what?
At that time, Shen Yizhi was holding a photo of his older brother in his hand, looking at the handsome 8-year-old boy in the photo.

Brother, if you hadn't saved me back then...

If you were the one who survived back then.

Will everything be different?

Wouldn't that be better for you, for your parents, and for me?

Unfortunately, Shen Yizhi's older brother, the boy who died at the age of 8 while saving his younger brother, was unable to come out and give Shen Yizhi an answer.

Fate always likes to play tricks on people, especially on the unfortunate Wang Xiaoyu.

Wang Xiaoyu discovered this after Shen Yizhi left with his parents.

She's pregnant again!

Over the years, Wang Xiaoyu has lost count of how many times she has been pregnant or how many children she has miscarried.

She knew that she hadn't conceived those children willingly.

She didn't know whether the children she lost were innocent.

I don't even know if what I did was a grave sin.

But she just couldn't accept their birth.

So she had them all aborted.

She thought that after all those experiences, her body was already ruined and she would no longer have the right to be a mother.

Unexpectedly, she got pregnant again this time.

However, this child was different for Wang Xiaoyu.

Even though Wang Xiaoyu was bewildered by the arrival of this child, she knew that she still longed for the child's existence and birth.

Because that was her and her lover's child.

She even wondered if Shen Yizhi would come back if he knew she was pregnant.

Would Shen Yizhi's parents agree to her being with him, for the sake of their grandson?

Even though Shen Yizhi chose to leave with his parents, Wang Xiaoyu was disappointed.

But Shen Yizhi had told her about his brother.

She could understand Shen Yizhi's difficulties.

They can also understand the hardships that Shen Yizhi's parents have endured.

Could we please give her another chance?

……

As time rewinds, everyone who sees this feels a pang of sadness.

All eyes fell on Shen Yizhi, their expressions somewhat complicated.

Shen Yizhi is a good person in some ways, but a bad person in others.

Despite his flaws, he was a rare person who genuinely loved and cared for Wang Xiaoyu, and sincerely wanted to marry her and spend his life with her.

On the one hand, he was bound by his brother's kindness and his parents' affection, causing him to miss Wang Xiaoyu time and time again, and abandon her again and again.

This person, perhaps like Wang Xiaoyu, is a tragic figure tormented by fate.

Soon, the scenes reappeared in the time-lapse sequence.

Everyone knew that soon they would find out the cause of Wang Xiaoyu's death. Was it suicide or homicide?

Shen Yizhi also wanted to know the answer, but after seeing that Xiaoyu was pregnant, he actually had a vague answer in his heart.

But he was afraid, afraid to accept that outcome.

I'm afraid of becoming the one who drags the little fish to its death.

In the flashback, Wang Xiaoyu, knowing she was pregnant, still chose to go to the city to find Shen Yizhi.

Having been there before, Wang Xiaoyu found it easily this time.

only……

When she arrived, she saw a young and pretty girl coming out of the Shen family home from afar. Beside her were Shen Yizhi, who had a blank expression, and Shen's parents, who were all smiles.

After seeing the girl off, just as she was about to step forward, she heard Shen's mother instruct Shen Yizhi, "Yizhi, Linlin is very satisfied with you, and her parents are on good terms with our family."

"Yizhi, Mom begs you, please marry Linlin, okay?"

Wang Xiaoyu clenched her hands, her heart pounding, waiting for Shen Yizhi's answer.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally heard Shen Yizhi's reply.

Wang Xiaoyu clearly heard Shen Yizhi say "Okay".

She also saw the joy on Mr. and Mrs. Shen's faces.

At that moment, Wang Xiaoyu felt that there was no need for her to talk about her pregnancy anymore.

She originally thought Shen Yizhi was like the family she had imagined.

She opened her heart one last time, trying very hard to become family with Shen Yizhi.

But reality told her that her fantasy was just that—a fantasy.

At that moment, the light in Wang Xiaoyu's eyes was completely extinguished.

Outside of the time rewind, everyone saw that Wang Xiaoyu, upon returning to Wangjia Village, seemed to have had his soul instantly drained away.

When she saw those lewd gazes falling on her as she walked back, Wang Xiaoyu finally felt the urge to die.

This little weed finally gave way after being trampled on repeatedly.

All the giant hands were trying to push her into the abyss of hell.

If that's the case, why is she still struggling?
Perhaps, that was her fate.

So, that night, at the Wang Family Inn, in her room, Wang Xiaoyu put on a red dress, red high heels, and applied exquisite makeup.

She had no choice but to go. Dressed entirely in red, Wang Xiaoyu resembled a delicate and beautiful red spider lily. But the red spider lily is a flower of death, a flower that only grows on the road to the underworld.

Wang Xiaoyu hanged himself!

He was dressed in red and hanged himself!

That red outfit was originally what she planned to wear for her wedding with Shen Yizhi.

She did indeed commit suicide.

Having endured so many tragic events, Wang Xiaoyu, who had tried so hard to live, was ultimately forced to give up hope of life and choose death.

How tragic that is!

Time rewinds to the moment of Wang Xiaoyu's death.

At this moment, Xu Qingling discovered that the barrier trapping Wangjia Village had disappeared.

The barrier disappeared, and all the people Wang Xiaoyu wanted to kill were dead. As for those who weren't killed, Wang Xiaoyu probably wouldn't kill them anymore.

Shen Yizhi had already been crying uncontrollably.

"My agreement was merely a stopgap measure."

"Why did you see it and believe it?"

"I didn't know you were there at the time. If I had known, I would never have agreed."

"Little fish, little fish, please come out and see me."

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry to you and the child..."

Shen Yizhi knelt on the ground, pleading desperately.

He knew that Wang Xiaoyu was still in Wangjia Village, quietly watching from some corner, but no matter how Shen Yizhi called out to her, Wang Xiaoyu wouldn't come out.
