Especially when she saw Mrs. Chu's sorrowful and resentful expression, Yan Qingruo hated herself to death, hating that she had become the very kind of person she despised the most.
But this was her birth, something she doesn't have a choice in...
Biting her lip, Yan Qingruo said, "I too only heard about this from Aunt Qin last night. I'm really sorry for all the trouble I've brought you...I...I think I should leave now, goodbye."
Yan Qingruo really couldn't stay here anymore. She turned around, already in tears.
She ran out of Mayor Chu's office quickly.
Mayor Chu called out, "Miss Yan?"
But Yan Qingruo had already run far away.
Mrs. Chu looked at Mayor Chu indifferently, her eyes filled with endless sorrow.
With Yan Qingruo standing in front of her, it was a living insult to her status as the rightful wife.
She looked at Mayor Chu and said, "Are you trying to put on a show for me, saying that you didn't know anything beforehand, is that it?"
