Chapter 2105: Twin Sister vs. Socialite Younger Sister (Extra)

After finishing her postpartum confinement and recovering well, Gu Shengyin was finally reminded by the system of something again.

It was about Xu Zhiyao.

She hadn’t been doing well lately.

To be precise, it seemed to have started three months ago.

She and Xiao Long had developed a conflict.

The couple who had originally been living "harmoniously" together began to find each other an eyesore.

After Gu Shengyin learned what kind of life the two of them led after getting married, she understood that there was basically no so‑called real affection between them at all.

People who truly have feelings for each other absolutely cannot tolerate their partner doing something unfaithful to them.

As for a man like Xiao Long, when he’s in the mood to like you, it’s fine, you can almost say he caters to your every whim.

But if he starts finding you displeasing, he’ll have a hundred ways to "fix" you.

The tacit, unspoken arrangement they once had to each play their own games, in his eyes now, had become one of Xu Zhiyao’s original sins.

Xu Zhiyao was being tortured to the brink of madness.

She was locked in a pitch‑black little room with not a speck of light; she was stripped naked and had scalding wax poured all over her body; she had her limbs spread and tied to a wooden frame and was whipped with a special kind of lash...

The time when Gu Shengyin gave birth was when Xu Zhiyao had her first emotional breakdown.

The system had originally thought of reminding the host and was preparing to tell her about it, but Gu Shengyin fell into a coma from sheer exhaustion.

When she woke up again, the system chose to conceal this matter.

Only after her body, weakened by childbirth and drained of Vital Energy, had fully recovered.

Did the system once more tell Gu Shengyin what was happening.

And then another month passed, and Xu Zhiyao had already been tortured to the point of near insanity.

Lying on the damp bed, Xu Zhiyao was consumed with regret.

She regretted more than once why she’d ever provoked that Devil Xiao Long.

She could be sure this man’s mind was absolutely not normal.

There hadn’t been any fierce clash between them, just a small quarrel she’d had with him earlier.

Yet afterward, she didn’t know which sentence had set Xiao Long off—his expression suddenly twisted into something ferocious.

And then...

Xu Zhiyao’s body couldn’t help but tremble.

Just thinking about what came after made her shudder.

Xiao Long was simply a Madman; now he spent all day taking pleasure in tormenting her.

What made Xu Zhiyan despair was that she had no tools on her at all, and locked in this little room she couldn’t escape, couldn’t contact the outside world.

She was terrified that one day she’d die in here and nobody would ever know.

Gu Shengyin did have the chance to get her out.

All she had to do was call the police, or have Xiao Cheng step in; no matter how crazy Xiao Long was, he couldn’t possibly ignore the face of the Xiao Family.

But Gu Shengyin said nothing, and did nothing.

Choosing Xiao Long had been a decision Xu Zhiyao herself made.

The most crucial thing was, whenever she heard about Xu Zhiyao’s fate, she would think of Xu Zhiyan’s experience in the original plot.

Compared to Xu Zhiyao, Xu Zhiyan was more innocent, more pitiful.

Just because of one selfish act by Xu Zhiyao, she lost her life.

Perhaps under the cycle of the Heavenly Dao, Xu Zhiyao ultimately still had to face retribution for what she’d done.

One and a half months later, Gu Shengyin finally received the news.

Xu Zhiyao was dead.

It was said that in the darkness, she smashed the cup she used for drinking water against the wall and slit her wrists.

Because she was discovered too late, she bled out; apparently the scene was extremely gruesome.

Xiao Long had originally intended to destroy the corpse and wipe out the evidence, and that was when Gu Shengyin made her move.

She had no intention of letting Xu Zhiyao off, and even less intention of letting Xiao Long off.

With both testimonial and physical evidence ironclad, that pair of adulterers could go on to the underworld and keep tormenting each other slowly.

Everything was over.

Only...

Looking at her parents, who were now visibly much more aged, Gu Shengyin felt a faint pang of guilt in her heart.

The only people she’d truly wronged were this couple.

She glanced at the husband beside her, then looked again at her parents not far away.

She would spend the rest of her life being a good wife, a good mother, a good daughter.

——

This world has ended.

Side note: the story in this world actually has a prototype in reality, and it’s far from an isolated case.

Maybe because it’s close to the end, my mood has been very agitated, and I kept feeling that nothing I wrote was quite right. I personally am not very satisfied with the ending of this story, but I really did do my best.

Finally, to answer the dear readers asking about the finale: in the main text of this novel, there will still be two more worlds. After that there will be some extra worlds.
