Hearing of Gu Jianli's death, Shen Mianmian didn't feel the slightest bit of pity; on the contrary, she thought he got what he deserved. Recalling the events of her previous life, she even felt a sense of relief.
She had thought that the matter would just pass like that, but the day after Gu Jianli's burial, Wang Erfeng and Gu Jianbin arrived at the entrance of her vegetable shop.
As soon as Wang Erfeng reached the entrance of the shop, she began to curse loudly, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
"Everyone, come and see, it's this little wench, such a young age and no good deeds, she killed my son," she proclaimed.
Fearful of her husband's blame, Wang Erfeng fabricated the true cause of Gu Jianli's death. She lied to the public, claiming that Gu Jianli committed suicide out of love for Shen Mianmian, who had broken his heart by rejecting him.
