A second chance with my billionaire husband

"Rip" sound filled the air as she only caught a piece of clothing.

She watched helplessly as Zhuang Fanxing fell, without any impending fear of death, her face displaying an endless calm and tranquility, accompanied by a sense of relief and release.

Liang Wenwan lay on the balcony, stunned, her arm still hanging in mid-air, her whole being seemingly drained of its soul.

It was as if in an instant, she fell into a bottomless abyss.

"Why did you push Lady Ruan down the stairs, are you insane?" came Huang Wenqing’s confused and angry interrogation beside her ear.

She murmured: "No... it wasn’t me..." her voice tinged with a streak of terror and trembling.

She watched with eyes wide open as the woman’s frail body fell onto the lawn, like a mandrake flower in full, resplendent bloom, blooming its most decadent magnificence in death.

Screams erupted in the garden, as a crowd moved like ants, gathering and discussing endlessly.

Someone called the police, others went to fetch a doctor...

"Sister...." Zhuang Xiyue cried out in panic, sprinting over recklessly and pushing Liang Wenwan aside, she looked down from the balcony and suddenly covered her mouth, stepping back in disbelief.

Ji Yunya and Yan Ke exchanged glances, their hearts heavy, such an incident had indeed occurred.

"Ah...." Zhuang Xiyue wailed mournfully, suddenly lunging at Liang Wenwan to fight, she had seen it clearly just now, it was Liang Wenwan who pushed her sister off the balcony, and she had quite liked this child, not expecting such a wolfish ambition...

Liang Wenwan made no explanation, nor did she cry out, merely standing there foolishly, letting Zhuang Xiyue’s palm rain down upon her, her entire being in extreme disarray, yet she did not make a sound, as if her soul had been extracted.

"Aunt Zhuang, calm down, let’s go check on big aunt first."

Ji Yunya gave Yan Ke a look, and the two of them supported Zhuang Xiyue from either side, her eyes bloodshot, her whole being deep in grief.

At this moment, the bodyguards rushed in upon hearing the commotion, their faces looking extremely unpleasant as they took in the scene before them.

Ji Yunya coldly looked at the two bodyguards: "What are you doing? Letting anyone in? Wait till Cousin comes back to deal with you, for now, detain these two here for me, and wait for the police to investigate thoroughly."

"It’s not my fault, it’s all her doing, she was the one who pushed Lady Ruan down, I saw it with my own eyes." Huang Wenqing screamed as she pointed at Liang Wenwan.

Liang Wenwan let out a cold laugh, suddenly turning a gaze of icy resolve towards Huang Wenqing, scaring her into a jolt, she puffed up her chest, "Wan’er, though you are my daughter, I cannot help you with this matter, you tell me, wasn’t it just Lady Ruan saying a few things to you? You are so proud and competitive, that you inadvertently pushed Lady Ruan down, how are you going to explain this to Mr. Ruan now?"

"Huang Wenqing, though we are not related by blood, you raised me, after all, but I never thought you could be so malicious." She took a deep breath, "If it’s not something I did, I will never admit it."

Huang Wenqing looked at her with a heart full of pain, "I never thought you’d remain unrepentant, Wan’er, I am truly too disappointed in you."

"Shut up, both of you." Zhuang Xiyue trembled with rage.

Liang Wenwan pursed her lips; at this point, explanations were futile, those who believed her would believe her, those who didn’t, she could argue till she was blue in the face and they’d still not believe.

Ji Yunya cast a complex look at Liang Wenwan, Liang Wenwan almost lost control of her tears, biting her lip hard, keeping her head held high, she must not cry.

"Miss Liang, save your words for the police."

Liang Wenwan thought Ji Yunya would at least believe her, but seeing Ji Yunya’s expressionless face say such cold words, her heart indeed turned completely cold.

She smiled, as if all strength in her body had been drained, despairingly closing her eyes.

"I’m sorry."

Ji Yunya narrowed her eyes, supporting the stumbling Zhuang Xiyue out, Zhuang Xiyue sobbed, calling for her sister, taking only a few steps before fainting.

Brother Yan was not here, nor was Cousin, now Aunt Zhuang was unconscious too, at this moment, Ji Yunya could only shoulder things herself.

"Sister Yun Ya, what should we do?" Yan Ke walked out from the infirmary, his face extremely unpleasant, at that moment he had felt like strangling Liang Wenwan, he had seen it with his own eyes, how could it be untrue? This woman was simply too vicious, luckily Cousin had not yet married her.

Ji Yunya’s face wasn’t much better either, but she was still able to maintain, "Accompany Aunt Zhuang, she might be emotionally agitated when she wakes, you can help comfort her."

"But big aunt..."

Jumping from the nineteenth floor, the two knew there was no chance of survival.

Ji Yunya closed her eyes, the woman’s image and smile lingering in her mind, never imagining that after narrowly escaping death, she’d leave them in such an unexpected manner, fate truly can play tricks on people.

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle it."

Ji Yunya turned and left, her steps somewhat unsteady, but each step unfalteringly firm, calming Yan Ke’s restless and wandering heart.

"After forensic identification, the deceased suffered cranial brain injuries, several crushing fractures all over the body, dying instantly, please sign the death certificate, according to regulations, the deceased’s body must be moved to the morgue... " To rule out homicide, an autopsy has been performed on the body, fingerprints were extracted from the clothing.

A white cloth covered the woman’s corpse.

Ji Yunya lowered her gaze, watching silently, the police glanced at her, caught by the stunning profile of the quiet girl, couldn’t help but remind her.

Ji Yunya calmly said: "I am not her immediate family, for signing, wait till her son comes."

"But...." The police wanted to say something more, but were stopped by a companion, the companion having recognized the girl’s identity, whispered into their ear, the police suddenly looked at the quiet standing girl, eyes widened in disbelief.

"Officer, may I stay with her quietly for a while?" Ji Yunya asked gently.

The two retreated, leaving the room entirely silent.

Ji Yunya lifted the white cloth, the woman’s appearance truly counted as disheveled, even extremely frightening, Ji Yunya’s expression unchanged, she put on white gloves, picked up tools, and began methodically repairing her face, focused and calm, sunlight streaming in through the curtain’s gaps, the girl lowered her eyelashes, immersed in her work, treating all lives with the utmost respect.

"The scariest thing is not the dead, but the human heart. Big aunt, I know you left in peace, for your expression is telling, but what about leaving Cousin alone?"

Ji Yunya sighed softly, her hands moving swiftly and dexterously.

Having finished her work, she put down her tools; her skill was remarkable, transforming decay into wonder, the woman lying there now looked peaceful and calm, with even a subtle smile at her lips.

If heaven truly exists, she has gone there to meet her beloved.

"Bang" the room door suddenly flew open as a man stumbled in, fell to his knees before the body.

"Mom." Heart-wrenching cries, sorrow to all who heard.

Behind him followed another person, with a face of deep regret and remorse, kneeling by Ruan Songxi’s side.

Ji Yunya’s nose suddenly stung with emotion.
