Indeed, just as Zuo Xingyun had said, Fu Yichen paid a sum for the funeral expenses and that was the end of it.
Fu Yichen didn't meet the woman's family and had no idea whether the money actually reached her relatives or not. He didn't care about any of these details; as long as the trouble was resolved, it was all good to him.
When Xiang Wan went to Zuo Xingyun's place again and passed by Fu Yichen's house, the bloodstains had already been cleaned up, leaving nothing behind as if nothing had ever happened.
As time passed, no one mentioned it again, and everyone slowly forgot about the incident.
Soon, the school started winter break.
Xiang Wan stayed at home every day, much to her mother's displeasure, "Can't you go out on more dates? Who dates like this? How can you develop a relationship by sticking at home every day?"
