Chapter 317: Chapter 317: The Truth

Qiao Chang'an was truly fond of Zhuang Luhe back in the day, but sadly, she never took an interest in him.

He tried to propose but was rejected, he desired to elope but that plan failed as well, then he attempted to force himself on her.

It didn't go as he wished and Zhuang Luhe ended up marrying Qiao Changshun instead. That became the greatest resentment he harbored in this lifetime.

Yes, resentment.

When he saw Qiao Changshun being oppressed by the Sun Family, he felt satisfied.

Seeing Zhuang Luhe suffer alongside Qiao Changshun for more than a decade, it made him happy too.

The brutal reality merely proved how foolish Zhuang Luhe's choice had been back in the day.

So, he secretly enticed Zhuang Luhe, suggesting that if she was willing to have an affair with him, he would clandestinely provide her with some silver and food.

But Zhuang Luhe refused and even slapped his face in return.

This furtherated his resentment.
