My husband is dead.

But what I didn't expect was that a 55-page PPT came even faster than his autopsy report.

The entire circle of friends in the company was shocked by this so-called "dramatic life and death love story between a certain company executive and a female employee".

My friend sent me the PPT while I was at the funeral of Lu Yun, and as soon as I opened it, the words inside made my vision go black.

"President Lu just wanted a child, what's wrong with that?"

"Instead, it was Ms. Shen An who became resentful out of love and has been insulting me for a long time..."

The whole PPT used extremely forced and artificial language to discuss the sincere love between Lu Yun and his female employee, portraying them as a pair of star-crossed lovers. It even portrayed me as a twisted and malicious middle-aged woman who was psychologically disturbed because she couldn't have children. It accused me with every sentence, even speculating that I intentionally tampered with Lu Yun's car accident.

After reading the entire contents of the PPT, my brows furrowed so tightly it could crush a fly.

What an exhilarating love fantasy!

Standing in front of Lu Yun's tombstone, I sneakily opened a message from a friend in the same company: [Seems like a cheesy drama in a short video.]

I looked up and through the rain, I saw the owner of the PPT standing not far away. I thought to myself, you haven't seen anything more dramatic than this yet.

Today is going to be a commotion.

[But a lot of people in the company have seen this scandal, it might have an impact on you.]

My friend continued: [The previous project has been handed over to another team by the boss.]

The heavy rain poured down, I didn't use an umbrella, and my funeral clothes got soaked.

At this moment, my mother-in-law ran over crying and grabbed onto me. Before I could react, she slapped me hard across the face.

"It's all because of you! I said earlier that you not being able to have children is a disaster. Now you've killed Lu Yun. It's all because of you!"

The people attending the funeral looked at us with shock, whispering to each other.

Feeling the burning pain on my cheek, I clenched the coat in my hand, a wave of nausea rising in my throat.

"It's because of you that the Lu family will have no descendants. After Lu Yun is gone, how can this old lady live on..."

She grabbed onto my wrist tightly, her cries loud enough for the entire cemetery to hear.

Causing a scene in front of so many people, all for the sake of that estate and compensation?

"Mother," I smirked, tugging at the corners of my mouth, using even more force to push her away, "We all know why you're going crazy now, but even if the sky were to collapse from your tears, Lu Yun still wouldn't be able to come back and be a filial son to you."

My mother-in-law's eyes widened, her lips trembling with anger, "You...you..."

What about me?

I disdainfully shook off her hand, who did she think she was treating me like the epitome of filial piety?

When Lu Yun was alive, I could still pretend and endure my mother-in-law's antics. But now that Lu Yun was gone, did she think she could bully anyone?

My mother-in-law was choked for words, clutching her throat, her speech vulgar and abnormal.

"You're just an eggless mother hen, and you dare to speak so arrogantly?"

"Truly a disgrace to our ancestors. How did Lu Yun end up marrying someone like you?"

?

I laughed angrily, who was really the eggless one here?

I was about to retaliate when I heard a weak voice speaking up, "Auntie...can you two stop fighting, I have something to say."

I turned my head and saw that the person who made the PPT had arrived, Du Tian, Lu Yun's good employee.

What does she want to do?

Before I could voice my doubts, she took a step forward and handed a document bag to my mother-in-law, while lightly covering her abdomen with her hand.

Her stomach protruded slightly, showing a small shape.

An outrageous guess suddenly appeared in my mind.

And in the next second, tears streamed down her plain face, "Auntie...I didn't want it to be like this, but the child no longer has a father..."

I was shocked, how could she control her tears so easily!

My mother-in-law hastily opened the document bag, shaking as she took out the contents. While I may not have eaten pork, I know what a pig looks like, and I recognized it as an ultrasound report.

So Du Tian is pregnant with Lu Yun's child?

How is this possible?

I sneered, just about to say something, when my mother-in-law interrupted with tears of joy, "Heaven has eyes! The Lu family finally has a successor!"

I looked at my mother-in-law's ecstatic expression, and the faint smile on Du Tian's face, and suddenly fell silent.

Playfully, I glanced at Lu Yun's tombstone. He will forever sleep there, never able to speak again.

That's okay, since he can't speak, I'll speak for him.

I wonder if my deceased ex-husband would like to witness a good show?
