Chapter 116 The True Savior

116 The true savior

Just then, a clear but slightly hoarse voice suddenly rang out: "Aunt Wang, are you home?"

The sudden sound startled Wang Baozi, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

To be honest, every time he heard that sound, he felt a sense of discomfort, as if he had been hit on the head.

It wasn't that he disliked the person making the sound; it was just that his ears, accustomed to gentle and melodious voices, found it difficult to bear the stimulation brought by such a slightly hoarse voice.

When this person was mentioned, Wang Baozi's feelings became incredibly complicated.

That was his former fiancée!

Back then, they also had sweet and wonderful times.

However, fate played a cruel trick, and a sudden change completely altered the course of their lives.

She suffered an accident that disfigured her, casting a shadow over the engagement ever since.

The Wang family initially remained silent about the annulment of the engagement, or more precisely, it was Wang Baozi's own actions that forced his parents to make this decision out of consideration for the woman.

Watching the woman who had once sworn eternal love to him gradually go astray, even his mother began to wonder if it was her family's heartlessness that had brought them such retribution.

In fact, before the engagement was called off, their relationship was quite good, and they were very loving and harmonious.

But things didn't go as planned, and a life-saving act became the trigger for the deterioration of their relationship.

Since then, their conflicts have become increasingly acute, and their relationship has become more and more tense.

Ultimately, for reasons unknown, his fiancée took the initiative to call off the engagement.

And what about Wang Baozi back then?

Perhaps bewitched, he blindly followed the words of his savior and, in a moment of impulse, easily nodded in agreement.

And just like that, the relationship between the two families plummeted to a freezing point, tense and fraught with hostility.

Fortunately, after a long period of time, especially in the past year, the relationship between the two sides has gradually eased.

Whenever he recalls the hardships his ex-fiancée endured, Wang Baozi feels an indescribable sense of guilt and shame welling up inside him.

His heartless act of annulling the engagement caused her to suffer countless unspeakable grievances and pain.

Just a month ago, fate seemed to play another cruel joke on her, as she was once again struck by the blow of having her engagement annulled.

The reason for this annulment is even more astonishing—it is said to be due to infertility.

When the man learned of this, he did not hesitate to ask the woman to annul the engagement.

Whenever he recalls these events, Wang Baozi feels a pang of guilt deep in his heart.

"Oh, it's Lili! What can I do for you?"

Aunt Wang, who was busy inside the house, suddenly heard a familiar voice outside the door. It was her former daughter-in-law, Liu Lili.

She quickly put down what she was doing, walked briskly to the door, and glared fiercely at her good-for-nothing son.

To be honest, Aunt Wang was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law she had once thought highly of.

She's beautiful, virtuous, hardworking, and kind—a wife you'd be hard-pressed to find even with a lantern.
