Years later, when Gu Mingshen was out shopping with his wife and child, he chanced upon Li Xinyi, who had become a resentful and irritable woman, losing all her previous innocence and purity. Had Li Xinyi not called out to him, he almost wouldn't have recognized her.
Li Xinyi's tone during their conversation was laced with a grievance, as if she were blaming him for abandoning her and leading to her becoming what she is now. Gu Mingshen quickly found an excuse to leave with his wife and child.
"Is that Li Xinyi? How did she end up like this?" It was clear that Gu Mingshen's wife had heard of her before, and her words carried a hint of pity.
Gu Mingshen drove silently, his tone neither sad nor happy, but with a neat judgment: "It's said that her husband had an affair and even brought an illegitimate child back home, and her father Li Pengcheng wouldn't allow her to divorce, so it's no surprise she's ended up like this."
