After Zhou Lingling left, Chu Jiao soon heard the sound of the door opening from the opposite side.

Is he back? Thinking of the injuries on his body, Chu Jiao felt that she should check his wounds.

She took out the medicine box and knocked on the door opposite. Yue Qiao was changing clothes when she heard the hurried knock on the door.

A hint of hesitation appeared on his cold face, and his hand just touched the door handle before pulling it back.

It was her, why did she come? If she was going to get married, why did she come to provoke him? What was this?

After hesitating for a moment and about to turn around and leave, he turned back and opened the door. His people reacted faster than his brain and made the decision for him.

Chu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him open the door. She looked at Yue Qiao with a smile, but saw that his face did not look good.

"Does the wound still hurt? I'll help you fix it again."

"No need." Yue Qiao said these three words coldly, and Chu Jiao felt chilled to the bone.

He turned around and was about to close the door but Chu Jiao blocked it, "Why?"

Yue Qiao knew what she was asking and felt a little angry, then his face became even gloomier.

"Is it fun? Is it fun to play tricks on me?" He stared at Chu Jiao's eyes without blinking as if he wanted to see through her heart.

"Since you are already engaged, why are you still messing with me? What does marriage mean to you?"

Yes! What is marriage to her? It is painful waiting, endless torture, and heart-wrenching pain.

Chu Jiao's eyes were red, and she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. She had waited, had been serious, and had expected something before, but in the end, all that was left were tears and indelible wounds.

"Do you think so?" Chu Jiao looked at her seriously, but her eyes were filled with tears.

It was pain, despair, and... regret. These emotions hurt both myself and Yue Qiao badly.

What on earth had she been through? She was clearly the eldest daughter of the Chu family and could get whatever she wanted, but the emotions in her eyes were too real, causing Yue Qiao to feel a dull pain in her heart.

"I'm sorry, morality doesn't allow me to be a mistress. We shouldn't make this mistake any further."

After saying this, Yue Qiao felt a tightness in his chest and it was a bit hard to breathe for a moment.

Tears fell as Chu Jiao's emotions that had been suppressed for many years collapsed in an instant. She needed to vent, to heal herself, and more importantly, she hoped that someone would understand her.

"Morality? What is morality? The law constrains human behavior, telling people what they can and cannot do, while morality is human nature and self-restraint.

Maybe, officer, in your world there is only right and wrong, black and white.

But they will never know the helplessness of human beings living in the gray space. There is no sunshine in their world and one step back is the abyss.

If I knew that Lu Ye treated marriage as a joke and cheated on me again and again, but still chose to marry him, then I would fall into the swamp of marriage after marriage.

In this emotional game, there are no legal constraints, but people can still suffer torture and pain. Officer, who will protect those women who are suffering from emotional torture in their marriages?

Lu Ye first touched the moral bottom line, so the morality between him and me no longer exists.

The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. Since he has made his choice in love, why can't I?

Officer, is it illegal for unmarried men and women to choose a new partner?

This world is not just about black and white. There is love outside the law, and morality must be discussed under fair conditions.

People like us who live in the gray area have to save ourselves if we don't want to fall into the abyss.

No matter what, I have not let him down, nor will I be held hostage by moral standards. I also have the right to pursue happiness."

After saying that, she wiped away her tears and acted as if nothing had happened. She was so strong that it made people feel distressed. "I'm sorry, I won't bother you again in the future."

After saying this, she turned and left without any hesitation, firmly and calmly.

But Yue Qiao's heart was not at peace, just like ripples in the river when a stone is thrown into it.

When I returned to the police station, my colleagues were discussing a murder case that happened some time ago.

Yue Qiao stood at the window and quietly lit a cigarette, "Has the verdict been reached on Xiao Li's case?"

"Alas! What a pity for the original wife, she was clearly a victim but turned into a murderer.

Sometimes I think that the scumbag and the bitch deserved to die, because they abused and murdered my ex-wife's son, but... after all, my ex-wife killed the adulterer and the adulteress for the sake of the child, which violated the law."

Yue Qiao's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, "Why is it a pity? Didn't she kill someone?"

Xiao Li smiled slightly, "Legally, she should be sentenced to death, but there is love outside the law, and it is understandable to sympathize with her."

Yue Qiao frowned and thought of Chu Jiao's words, "This world is not just black and white, nor is it just right or wrong." Maybe she was right...

In the next two days, Chu Jiao never appeared in front of him again, just as she said.

But he always recalled what she said and the pain in her eyes in the quiet night.

They are so different, yet... they have an inexplicable attraction to him.

Ever since she lost her temper with the police officer last time, Chu Jiao realized that she was not optimistic.

The pain in the heart has nothing to do with feelings but it takes time to heal.

Just at this moment, Lu Ye’s childhood friend called. Chu Jiao glanced at the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Lu has been in the hospital for two days, why haven't you come yet?"

Hospitalization? Chu Jiao then remembered that Lu Ye was beaten that night.

Chu Jiao said calmly without any emotion, "What does his injury have to do with me?"

Zhou Yang sighed softly, “Sister-in-law, I know that Brother Lu shouldn’t disregard your dignity.

But... you are getting married soon, you can't just stay like this."

Chu Jiao chuckled with a hint of sarcasm in her smile, "It's just a business marriage, why take it seriously?"

After saying that, she hung up the phone. If it weren't for the business relationship between every family in their circle, she would have blocked them long ago.

In fact, he probably made this call to make fun of her!

Ha! Whoever dares to laugh at her, she will make him a joke.

There is still one day left before the auction. Grandma’s belongings from the previous life were bought by Lu Ye and given to Zhou Lingling.

This time she wants to get the necklace back and fulfill her mother's last wish.

The next day, Chu Jiao dressed up carefully. The people who attended the auction were either rich or noble.

Grandpa cares about face the most, so the Chu family members are very careful in public and pay attention to their words and actions, including their external image, at all times.

She was wearing a burgundy backless long dress today, and her long black hair was curled into waves and draped over her chest.

With a height of 1.70 meters and wearing high heels, she looks like a queen. Her curvy figure makes people excited at first sight.

The corners of her lips were raised in a half-smile on her pretty and charming face. She looked so gorgeous and unparalleled.

In his previous life, Lu Ye liked women with white flowers, so Chu Jiao always wore a white dress.

Such an outfit not only fails to highlight her beauty, but makes her look out of place.

Now that she has been reborn, why would she care about Lu Ye’s preferences?

The once delicate Chu Jiao had died in the previous life. In this life, she is Chu Niuhulu Jiao.

The moment he closed the door, he happened to run into Yue Qiao who had just returned home. His eyes trembled slightly, but his expression remained cold.

Chu Jiao just passed by him, and the pretty face that appeared in his dream now had no expression at all.
