Half a year had passed since I last heard from Lu Jiaxiang.

He came to my house in a sorry state, full of regret: "Wife, it was all my fault before. I shouldn't have let my mom and Jiamei bully you. I know I was wrong. Can we start over?"

Facing his insincere apology, I simply told him to leave.

Afterward, I inquired about the situation in the Lu family.

After his mother-in-law passed away, Lu Jiaxiang's eldest uncle lied to his grandmother, claiming he had lost money in a business venture and creditors were coming after him. If he couldn't repay the debts, they would take him away to chop off his hands. This greatly distressed his grandmother.

She had always lived with her eldest son, so if he was in trouble, she couldn't be at peace. Leveraging her inheritance rights, she began a legal battle with the Lu siblings over the family assets.

The lawsuit dragged on for nearly half a year, and despite her age of over eighty, the grandmother managed to secure a third of the estate.

His mother had raised two children on her own, with limited assets, most of which were savings belonging to Lu Jiaxiang and his sister.

Now, they had lost a lot and were in a difficult situation.

Lu Jiaxiang's assets shrank significantly, and even his mother's house was mostly divided up. Remarrying seemed unlikely for him, so he turned back to me.

However, this was the consequence of his own actions.

If he had been a little kinder to me in his past life, even just a little, things wouldn't have come to this.

In the end, Lu Jiaxiang ended up losing both his love and his wealth.

As for me, a beautiful life awaits ahead.
