Chapter 2732: Still Alive and Kicking


    Even the things that he did leave behind were useless as evidence. Cheng Fei thought thoroughly of everything.


    He refused to say anything that wouldn’t harm himself even when he was practically on his deathbed.


    Ning Shu sat on the sofa. She closed her eyes and began to cultivate.


    Running about everywhere had exhausted her.


    Ning Shu even thought that Cheng Fei must be inwardlyughing at her.


    Well, it didn’t matter. That she was still able to run around like that proved that she was still alive and kicking.


    Cheng Fei was now the one who couldn’t run away and could do nothing but ept his torturous fate.


    This thought suddenly made Ning Shu feel better.


    The one who survived ‘til the end was the winner.At death, everything ended.


    Mother Ai brought Ning Shu a bowl of noodles and asked, “Have you divorced Cheng Fei?”


    Her daughter was always either busy with work or not at home these days.


    Ning Shu nodded. “I have. Our rtionship as husband and wife has been legally dissolved.”


    “That’s good. Don’t worry about it, you’re still young and healthy. You’ll be able to meet many people in the future.”


    Ning Shu crossed her arms. “Mom, please give it a rest for a while. I just got divorced, and you already want me to go on a blind date again?”


    “No, no, of course not. You can’t go on a blind date. You met that beast with human skin on a blind date,” Mother Ai immediately said.


    Ning Shu breathed a sigh of relief. For now, at least. She’d been afraid that Mother Ai would force her to remarry as soon as she could.


    She still couldn’t protect herself. If she remarried, she’d only be a burden that endangered someone else.


    She also didn’t know whether the original host would choose to marry and form a family again in this life.


    Cheng Fei had given her a lot of trauma.


    Ning Shu clutched her heart. She felt like she’d been traumatized as well. She only hoped that she’d never meet someone like Cheng Fei ever again.


    He was without doubt a psychopath, yet there was not a single crack in his pretense of loving affection. Other psychopaths, who were willing to show their hideous side and vent their anger, weren’t nearly as chilling as Cheng Fei was to her.


    “Going forward, we should stick to looking in the pool that we know. Don’t you have a lot of co-workers? Is there anyone that you get along well with?” Mother Ai asked.


    Ning Shu rubbed her chin and said, “Let me think about it.”


    She eventually shook her head and said, “There’s no one that I get along particrly well with.”


    Professor Ai put down the newspaper that he was reading. He said to Mother Ai, “You should at least let the matter rest for the time being. Give our daughter some time to recover.”


    “I’m just anxious. Once Ai Yun gets remarried, she won’t have anything to do with Cheng Fei anymore, and he won’t have an excuse to pester her again. I’m just worried that Cheng Fei will continue pestering Ai Yun when hees out of the psychiatric hospital one day.”


    What Mother Ai was looking for wasn’t a husband, but a bodyguard.


    If things really happened the way Mother Ai thought it would, when Cheng Fei came knocking on her door, her husband would probably rush to cut off all ties with her first.


    Impatiently, Professor Ai replied, “Is there anyone who can be trusted these days? What if Ai Yun finds someone and it’s another man like Cheng Fei? What should we do then?”


    “We barely survived Cheng Fei. If another man like himes, isn’t this family done for?


    “Let’s shelve the topic of remarriage for now.”


    Ning Shu gave Professor Ai a big thumbs up.


    A marriage was basically a woman’s second chance at reincarnation. It would be bad enough if she ended up marrying a scumbag, if she married someone even worse, she’d have to endure unbearable pain for the rest of her life.


    They shouldn’t mistake some mud for a flower just because they were both by the river.


    Mother Ai had liked Cheng Fei so much in the past, but now?


    There was no knowing a person’s heart.


    Although Ning Shu was willing to trust others, the person she trusted most was herself.


    One could never betray oneself.


    One must never give up one’s determination to be stronger.


    That was the only way to be strong enough to face everything, even in the face of others’ betrayals.


    That way, one wouldn’t be reduced to a resentful idiot.


    All that resentment stemmed from the fact that they weren’t strong enough and couldn’t help themselves. If they were strong enough, they wouldn’t need to be afraid of anything.
