"Ah!" Lin Cuixia couldn’t handle the shock on the spot and fainted directly.

Mai Manxiang felt as if ice and snow had poured into her entire body. Trembling, she shook her head in disbelief, saying, "What... are you saying?"

"Ming Yan... Brother Mingyan, committed suicide..." Mai Manshan was sweating, finding it difficult to speak.

Pausing, Mai Manxiang murmured, "No, no."

The next moment, she pushed aside everyone blocking her path and rushed towards Qiu Family almost frantically.

...

When she arrived, before entering the Qiu Family’s house, she heard a chorus of sobbing.

Especially Gui Lanzhi, who was almost crying the heavens down, "Son, why couldn’t you think it through? I know you like that Miss Feng, I know she’s pregnant, and it’s painful to watch her leave, but you still have us, why did you do this... If you die, how are we supposed to live?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Mai Manxiang felt as cold as if she had been poured with lead, every step towards the house filled her with ominous premonition, making her legs weak and trembling.

Finally, she reached the wedding room door.

Looking at the pesticide bottle tossed on the ground...

A massive gloom seemed to press down from the sky, her throat felt as if an invisible hand was strangling it, unable to breathe.

She raised her eyes again.

Sure enough, the heartbreaking scene happened in front of her eyes.

The man lying on the ground, continuously vomiting white foam from the corners of his mouth, was neither Qiu Mingjun nor Qiu Mingxin, but indeed Qiu Mingyan...

The full bottle of pesticide seemed to have shocked everyone in the village.

Not knowing how to deal with the ingestion of a bottle of poison, they surrounded in dense circles, their hearts trembling, yet no one moved.

Qiu Mingyan, upon seeing Mai Manxiang approaching, opened his soon-to-close weak eyes, with a slight mocking smile, after vomiting a large mouthful of white foam, said, "You’re here..."

She came, of course, she came; such a thing happened on her wedding day, how could she not come?

With tears streaming down, in the next moment, Mai Manxiang, almost in crazed despair, rushed to Qiu Mingyan’s side, shaking his arm, she cried out, "Brother Mingyan, why did you do this? Why? Do you dislike me so much, don’t want to marry me? Are you so unwilling? For Feng Chengyue, you cannot marry her and choose to die?"

Mai Manxiang’s heart really hurt, the raw reality stabbed her heart more painfully than a slap, again and again.

Brother Mingyan didn’t like her; he would rather die than marry her... She clearly loved him more than Feng Chengyue, clearly, it was Feng Chengyue who gave up first, not loving him enough...

Mai Manxiang’s face was covered in tears, her sobbing heart twisted like a knife.

Qiu Mingyan just stared at the tears that fell hot onto the back of his hand, ironically laughing, laboriously saying, "Yes... I do like her, Manxiang, in my life, I’ve only loved two things, the first one is studying, the second one is her. At one time, I thought as long as I studied hard, repaying you all in this life would be enough. After meeting her, I felt my life’s most blissful thing was like this: she didn’t mind my poverty... didn’t mind the debts I inherited... didn’t mind bearing such loads all lifelong. In this world, no girl willingly shares hardships with a boy unless she truly, truly loves him."

With a smile, Qiu Mingyan slowly said, "I felt like I met the angel of my life, but unfortunately, because of all of you, forced everything away from my life..."
