Chapter 560: Chapter 560: The Innocent Meng Jingfen

Meng Jingfen returned to Hai City and was pointed at every time she went out.

The other family members also couldn’t find peace.

At first, Meng Jinhua and Fu Hongfang comforted her, but later, hindered by her from even stepping out the door, they grew angry.

One day, Meng Jinhua candidly said to her, “Jingfen, we know you’re wronged, but your brother is still in school, and because of you, he doesn’t even dare to go to school anymore. So, either stay at home and don’t go out, or go back to your hometown for a few days until this blows over?”

Fu Hongfang chimed in, “Yes, your grandparents just left and said they’ll be back in two months. It would be a perfect time for you to join them.”

Meng Jingfen, “…”

She had actually already been limiting her outings.

But who could stand staying in all day, every day?

Even when she did go out, she merely strolled through the parks and selected the less crowded places.

Malls and shops were a complete no-go area for fear of being pelted with rotten eggs.

After some thought, she decided to return to her hometown for a while.

The village was scant in information; presumably, nobody knew of her scandal.

Now at the idle end of autumn, there wasn’t much work to be done, so spending days playing cards and idling seemed wonderfully appealing.

Thus, she prepared her autumn and winter clothes and went back to Xiaoliu Village.

She thought the people here were unaware of her disgraceful affairs in Imperial.

Gu Minghao looked at her tenderly, “Yes, you haven’t harmed her, nor have you harmed me. Originally, I only wanted to get close to Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci through you, but then, who made me fall for you? Thus, I’ve decided to let you go down with me, so we can continue to be husband and wife in the afterlife.”

Meng Jingfen, on the verge of tears, “…”

This was not the kind of love she wanted.

But was it already too late?

She had long heard that the medical skills of Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci were formidable, capable of curing most poisons.

Yet, they couldn’t cure the poison Gu Minghao administered… In that case, she only saw a dead end.

At that moment, the police sirens wailed long, and officers from the police station quickly arrived.

The friends and family of Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci also gradually showed up.

The couple had already begun to make arrangements for their affairs…

People cried together in a group.

The police wanted to arrest Gu Minghao and Meng Jingfen, but Song Ting, who rushed over, stopped them, “The poison in their bodies is incurable; don’t touch them for now.”

The officers looked at Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue, indeed, the couple also refused to have close contact with friends and family, only nestling together seated on two chairs.

They looked pitiful yet touching.

This event once again brought Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue into the limelight.

Although everyone found the incident rather amusing when talking about it.

Normally cold and noble Shen Ci and ethereally detached Meng Chuyue pretending to be on the verge of death in public, and seriously arranging their affairs…

It was absurdly funny, wasn’t it?

And their medical skills must be high, right?

The poison Wu Xiaohong had administered was said to be incurable, yet they not only cured themselves but also quietly treated Wu Xiaohong and Meng Jingfen…

Impressive.

And there was a follow-up to this episode; not long after, the real Gu Minghao was brought over by his family.

Reportedly, the real Gu Minghao was knocked unconscious by Wu Xiaohong with a club and tossed into the sea, presumed dead, but he was only injured and lost his memory.

After being rescued by fishermen, he lived in their home.

Following coverage in newspapers and television, he surmised from a handkerchief embroidered with the name Minghao that perhaps he was this unfortunate soul.

Upon contacting his family, indeed, he was Gu Minghao.

His demeanor was similar to the one portrayed by Wu Xiaohong, though he wasn’t single; he had a loving wife and twin children.

Only, he had lost his memory and couldn’t recall his feelings for his wife.

Having heard about the great medical skills of Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue, he decided to have them check his condition and deal with the mess Wu Xiaohong left in his business.
