“... Isn’t that Mrs. Gu? She’s the one who got her son killed, and she dares to show up at his funeral! Doesn’t she feel any shame?”

“That’s right, it’s her. She rushed off to meet her lover, leaving the young master locked inside the car. The innocent young master Gu suffocated to death in the scorching sixty-degree heat trapped in there!”

“Could she really be his birth mother? She has to be a stepmother! The Gu family ought to drag her to court for murder!”

Ye Tianxin’s gaze resembled hollow, lifeless voids. Her vision fixed solely on the black-and-white portrait placed amid the white chrysanthemums.

That portrait showed her son, Gu Yunjin.

Only days earlier, she and her boy had chatted excitedly about vacation spots.

Yet now, her precious son lay as a chilled, motionless body surrounded by white blossoms.

With a face devoid of warmth or feeling, Gu Yancheng approached Ye Tianxin and positioned himself before her.

Resembling a feral predator, he seized her slim wrist and, holding back his anger, growled softly, “Ye Tianxin, haven’t you shamed us enough in front of everyone?”

“Yancheng, it wasn’t me!” Ye Tianxin’s eyes remained bone-dry without a trace of tears, as she replied in a robotic tone, “That woman in the picture isn’t me!”

A chilling laugh escaped Gu Yancheng. His narrow lips pressed into a firm line, while fury blazed in his gaze.

The entire world was aware of his unfaithful spouse, who had turned him into the ultimate laughingstock.

The entire world knew his spouse, hurrying to rendezvous with her paramour, had abandoned his son to die suffocating in the car’s sixty-degree inferno!

And now this shameless adulteress had the nerve to appear at Jin’s funeral!!

“Ye Tianxin, do you believe I’m blind?” he questioned.

Her fine, fragile fingers shook as Ye Tianxin reached back, swept her hair aside, and tugged the zipper of her dress downward.

In full view of the relatives and guests gathered for the funeral, she slid her sophisticated little black dress off her shoulders, revealing a butterfly tattoo upon her breast.

Disgust flickered in Gu Yancheng’s frozen stare.

Without emotion, he spun and ordered the bodyguards, “Get her out of here!”

Disgusting!

Completely repulsive!

Imagine wasting six years cohabiting with such a loathsome creature.

“Madam, please leave!” The bodyguards advanced toward Ye Tianxin, now dressed only in black lace lingerie, and positioned themselves in front of her.

Disappointment filled Ye Tianxin’s look toward Gu Yancheng. He refused to trust her.

For six years of marriage, she had assumed Gu Yancheng would at least let her speak her side....

How foolishly optimistic she had been!!

“Yancheng, see this. Your name is inked on my breast! That woman in the photo lacks it!”

Gu Yancheng pivoted and examined Ye Tianxin’s left breast. A vivid butterfly tattoo danced there, bearing the three Han characters “Gu Yancheng” on its wings.

“The woman caught with that man wasn’t me! I never knew Jin was in the car! Honestly, I didn’t intend it. He was my son as well! Why would I harm my own child!?”

Whispers and murmurs rippled through the funeral attendees. Their scornful gazes stabbed at her like countless blades.

Ye Tianxin ignored it all. Others’ rumors and judgments left her untouched.

Her sole desire was Gu Yancheng’s faith in her. Just let him trust her....

Gu Yancheng strode up to confront Ye Tianxin. His strong hand encircled her waist, and he bent down as if to press lips to the butterfly on her breast.

Abruptly, a piercing ache shot through Ye Tianxin’s breast.

Grimacing in agony with furrowed brows, Ye Tianxin understood that Gu Yancheng had brutally sunk his teeth into the butterfly tattoo. As he raised his head from her breast, blood trickled from his mouth’s edges, lending his strikingly handsome face an even more demonic allure.
