After my husband's car accident and death, I chose to stop pretending.

I not only threw out my in-laws' clothing and bedding but also seized the family assets they had accumulated over decades.

They wandered the streets scavenging for food, but I turned a blind eye.

Relatives and online public opinion scolded me harshly, but I ignored them.

When my in-laws were fainting from hunger and illness on the street, I celebrated with fireworks.

No one knew that I had already been reborn.

And on my phone, there was still a live video of my fake-dead husband with his lover in bed on Bali Island.

At my husband's funeral, I forced my in-laws to sign an agreement relinquishing the inheritance.

The frail mother-in-law knelt on the ground, her eyes filled with helpless tears.

"Jingjing, Mingyuan is gone, from now on, your father-in-law and I can only rely on you. I'm begging you, you can't treat us like this..."

Her face was sallow, and she coughed occasionally, looking terminally ill.

With a look of disdain, I pulled back my arm, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground, scattering blood pressure pills from her pocket.

Both of them looked up in astonishment, their cloudy eyes full of disbelief.

They could hardly believe that the once kind and gentle daughter-in-law would treat them this way.

Relatives also looked at me in disbelief.

"Xu Jing! Are you crazy? These are your in-laws! How can you treat them like this?"

"Have you forgotten how good they've been to you?"

My in-laws trembled as they stood in front of the relatives, speaking for me and defending me: "Jingjing is not what you say, she must have her reasons for doing this."

However, I didn't appreciate their support and coldly said that if they didn't like it, they could take the old couple home and take care of them themselves.

At these words, the relatives fell silent.

Reacting, the second uncle angrily shouted, "You're the daughter-in-law, taking care of the elderly is your duty, why push it onto us!"

Duty?

I scanned this group of hypocritical people with a cold smile.

In my past life, it was this group who used filial piety to bind me to serve my in-laws for twenty years.

After my husband died, my in-laws begged me not to remarry, not to leave this home.

Remembering their past kindness and my relationship with Zhao Mingyuan.

My heart softened, and I resolutely chose to stay, supporting this broken home in place of my husband.

Twenty years of hard work and endurance broke my health, and I developed stomach cancer.

But not until my last breath did I learn that Zhao Mingyuan was never dead!

He faked his death, dumping the responsibility of taking care of his parents on me, living freely abroad with his lover.

I was played like a fool by their family for twenty years!

Thinking about the deception of my previous life.

Hatred burned in my chest like wildfire, consuming my organs.

Want to play dirty, huh! I can too!

I coldly smiled, forcibly pressing the old couple's fingerprints onto the agreement.

Then I put away the document with satisfaction, couldn't be bothered with more words, directly dragged the old couple, and threw them out the door.

Amid the relatives' scolding and the couple's desperate cries, I slammed the door shut.

Then I also entrusted a lawyer to take a video as evidence of Zhao Mingyuan's location in the Maldives.

Zhao Mingyuan, don't think I don't know where you're hiding.
