Chapter 836: Chapter 833: Exhausting Thoughts

After she had killed everyone here, she finally used up her last bit of strength.

Before she hit the ground, Jun Mochan reached out to catch her.

"Bury the bodies and set fire to the village, leaving no trace," said Jun Mochan, his face a mask of icy detachment.

That afternoon, Jun Mochan had taken Ye Ranran back to the Jun family’s residence, and throughout the night, a procession of doctors moved in and out, carrying tray after tray of bloodied water.

It did not stop until the early hours of the morning.

The commotion was so great that Huo Yi was naturally alerted, and he felt extremely anxious, wanting to go but not daring to.

While he hesitated, Jun Mochan called him, "Big Brother, won’t you come over?"

Now unable to escape, Huo Yi agreed.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately went to Xu Zi’s room.

Today was Xu Zi’s last day in the Huo Family, and she still resided in the room they used to share.

Above the bed hung their wedding photo, in which Xu Zi smiled brilliantly, her eyes filled with hope for the future.

Now, although not despairing, that vibrant color was gone.

Life had added a touch of dimness in everyone’s eyes.

Huo Yi then pushed open the door and entered.

"Is it what you said, isn’t it?" Huo Yi voraciously stared at her, furious.

Xu Zi quietly looked at him, her face neither smiling nor sorrowful but excessively calm.

"Huo Yi, what are you fantasizing about?" Did he really believe that Ye Ranran could still belong to him now?

"You see, we once said we would grow old together," she noted solemnly, with desolation hanging over the pledge. In the end, who even remembers those youthful whispers?

Huo Yi did not want to hear her nonsensical talk; he snapped irritably, "I’ll ask you one more time, was it you who said it?"

"What did I say? What did I not say? I don’t quite understand what you are saying."

"You still dare to feign ignorance? You asked me if Ranran’s disappearance had anything to do with me, and then turned around and told Jun Mochan, didn’t you?"

"Jun Mochan is her husband. What’s wrong with telling him?"

Looking at Xu Zi’s ever-tranquil gaze, Huo Yi burst into scornful laughter: "Xu Zi, after all your scheming, what have you achieved? I won’t give you anything you want."

She should give up.

Stop deluding herself.

Xu Zi slowly smiled, her lips curling into a scornful arc, "What I want? Huo Yi, do you know what I want?"

What women want most is a perfect love, a considerate husband, a complete family. Even without much money or power, that would still be happiness.

But she has none of those now, so she might as well have a lot of money and power. Otherwise, what would fill the emptiness and loneliness in her heart?

"With your petty little schemes, who doesn’t know?" Greed was unmistakable in those eyes, impossible to ignore even if one tried.

Xu Zi covered her eyes with her hand, and after a while, they cleared completely: "Is that so? Is that what you men love?"

Like Ye Ranran, who pretends to be naive despite knowing everything?

Like her, who understands it all deep down but still feigns an innocent, naïve look.

Fooling a bunch of men completely.

And yet everyone still believes it.

"Is this fun for you? No matter how well you act, you’re still not her," sneered Huo Yi.

"What do you like about Ye Ranran?" Xu Zi asked, baffled.

Ye Ranran has everything she has, and what Ye Ranran doesn’t have, she has too. Why do both he and Jun Mochan like her so much?
