Chapter 597: Chapter 597

He seemed like a Judge, proclaiming a life sentence to her.

Gu Lili lay down again, "Being with you day and night, what if I fall in love with you?"

Her words were unintentional, but Rong Fei took them seriously, "If that really happens, I’ll slaughter you right here."

She’s not an animal; there’s no need to butcher her.

"Don’t you think you’re too cruel? I’m just a young girl, without any freedom or rights, unable to lead a normal life or marry and have children. My life is truly sorrowful."

"Do you pity yourself?"

"I’m stating the facts," she emphasized. "Can’t you see what I’m saying? Of course, you control the lives of the weak. But, come to think of it, you said if I fall in love with you, you’ll kill me. Surely, many girls must have fallen for you. Did you kill them all?"

"Strangers don’t matter, but those under my watch do."

"You’re really overthinking it. It’s obvious, with how you treat me, how could I possibly fall in love with you? I was just kidding."

Rong Fei frowned, "Who allowed you to joke?"

"I thought of it myself."

"You’re really disagreeable."

Gu Lili closed her eyes and responded, "That’s why I’m asking you to get rid of this disagreeable woman quickly."

"Are you really not afraid that I’ll kill you in a fit of anger?"

"If your tolerance is only that slight, then I might as well be dead."

Rong Fei was frustrated and angry, "No man has ever pursued you, right?"

"That’s not true; I’ve had a boyfriend," she had memories from Ding Xiang’s body, knowing Ding Xiang was not untouched, and had even rented a place to live with her boyfriend Bai Jiahuan from the factory, "I dated a boy I met while working at the factory; he pursued me."

"He must have dumped you, right?"

"You guessed right. Our parents disagreed with our relationship, so we decided to commit suicide together. After jumping into the river, he regretted and swam back, leaving me behind. I can’t swim but was luckily rescued by a kind stranger. He and all my family thought I was dead. I was too ashamed to go home, so I cut ties with them, letting them believe I was dead."

When Tang Qingli bought the corpse for a ghost marriage, he and the deceased’s family had agreed to keep it a secret.

Actually, without his instructions, the family would have done it anyway, as they didn’t want to be laughed at for selling a body for money.

Only a few family members were present during the retrieval of the body; others weren’t allowed to witness it, including Bai Jiahuan.

Thus, Gu Lili could fabricate anything; whatever she said was taken as the truth. Updates are released by novel⦿fire.net

"You’re hopelessly stupid," Rong Fei mocked, "Only fools commit to such acts like a love suicide. You’re truly an absolute idiot."

"I was too naïve, giving my heart to the wrong person." From Gu Lili’s standpoint, Ding Xiang was truly too naive.

Rong Fei glanced at her, ridiculing her foolishness verbally, yet deep inside, he was profoundly moved by the idea that there was a woman who would willingly die for love. How much courage did that require?

Gu Lili then added, "Fortunately, I woke up in time. No man can ever abandon me emotionally again."

"Weren’t you just talking about wanting a normal life, to marry and have children?"

"That doesn’t conflict with not giving my whole heart to someone."
