On the day of our wedding, Shirley took a French leave and ran into the arms of her first love.

My mother was so angry that she had a heart attack. When she was sent to the hospital, there was nothing the doctors could do.

That night, Shirley's first love, Jenkins, posted a photo of them hugging and kissing passionately.

She was wearing the expensive dress that my mother had bought for her. She lay in Jenkins' arms, gentle and sweet, without hiding.

Although it was just a side profile, I still recognized her at a glance.

I sat by my mother's body, wiped away my tears, and left a cold comment: [Scumbags, you're a perfect match!]

——

I declined everyone's concern, cremated my mother's body alone, and locked myself in my bedroom for five days.

During this period, Shirley did not send me any messages or call me.

On the contrary, her first love, Jenkins was quite active on social media.

Under that post, countless people left comments.

The first was to mock me.

[Look, the simp is so envious.]

[It's useless to be jealous. He can't make her to stay with him.]

[You two are a match made in heaven. You shouldn't have gone abroad at that time.]

Shirley did not make any comments or say a word for me.

Before I finished reading the comments, I blocked both of them.

I pursued Shirley and took care of her for five years.

However, on our wedding day, she did not hesitate to leave me behind for Jenkins. She made me a joke, and even my mother died due to that.

When she was alive, her biggest wish was to see me get married, have children, and start a family.

For this reason, she spent all the money she had saved in her whole life..

Even so, Shirley was still not satisfied and insisted on holding a fancy wedding.

My mother said that it was too extravagant, and it would be better to save it for the future.

But Shirley didn't agree. She even threatened my mother that if she couldn't afford it, she would reconsider about the marriage.

My mother made up her mind and took out the money, which she didn't even want to spend on her treatment without telling me.

But in the end, she was angered to death.

I was a useless son. I didn't even have a chance to show filial piety.

I took out all the remaining money and planned to buy a decent piece of jewelry for my mother. She had worked hard all her life, so I couldn't let her leave like that.

As soon as I entered the jewelry store, I happened to meet Shirley.

She held Jenkins' arm so naturally.

At this moment, she was wearing a casual dress.

She had lost the customized dress somewhere, which had cost my mother a lot of money.

Of course, she didn't care.

After all, my mother and I gave her almost everything she wanted and thought too highly of her.

Jenkins stroked her head and said, "Shirley, pick whatever you like. I've been abroad for five years, but I couldn't give you a decent gift before I left. I'm really sorry."

Shirley said coquettishly, "Then thank you in advance."

Looking at her current expression, I suddenly felt sad.

My mother and I have worked so hard, but we couldn't compare with the news of Jenkins' return.

Shirley raised her head and saw me.

Subconsciously, she wanted to withdraw her hand from Jenkins' arm, but she couldn't.

Jenkins looked at me with a faint smile, full of provocation.

I glanced at them coldly and lowered my head to choose jewelry for my mother.

Being ignored by me, Shirley frowned and questioned,

"Arden, why are you ignoring me? Who are you putting on a face for?"

I didn't look up, "What do you think?"

"What did you say? How dare you talk to me like that!

Are you jealous again?"

"You think too much," I replied coldly. "I can't wait to wish you happiness."

"You still deny it. Look at your expression now, as if I owe you a lot of money!

I told you a long time ago. Jenkins and I are just friends now. He has just returned from abroad, and not been used to the environment here. Of course, I have to spend more time with him. Do you really have to be so fussy?

Before I left, I asked the person in charge of the restaurant to tell you that. Didn't he tell you?

Besides, after thinking about it again, I don't like the wedding style very much. Let's hold another wedding ceremony, when we have time. I know your mother can't afford it. I'll pay for it myself. Just take it as my apology for leaving without saying anything."

In the past, I might have listened to her explanation carefully. I was always easy to be convinced.

But at this point, I felt that what she said was ridiculous.

Didn't she see Jenkins' post?

"No need," I indifferently replied. "No more wedding."

Shirley was confused, "Why not? Are you still angry with me?

Can you not be so petty? I've had enough of it."

"Since you've had it enough, let's break up!" I said flat.

I was so calm that they couldn't see my disguise.

Shirley suspected that she had misheard. She was stunned for a moment and questioned, "Arden, what did you say?

Say it again if you dare!

Don't forget that your mother has a serious heart disease. She is looking forward to seeing you get married. Do you want her to die with grievance?"

This vicious woman actually cursed my mother!

She was always like this. Relying on my love for her, she trampled on my dignity wantonly.

But what she didn't know was that my mother had been dead because of her.

Behind her, Jenkins looked at me with a smile and said slowly, "You must be Arden. I'm Jenkins, her first love. She must have told you about me."

He deliberately slowed down and stressed the words "first love".

Then he said, "Shirley asked me to find an medical expert to treat her friend's mother. It's for you, right? Shirley, just say it straight. I won't be so stingy."

Then, he reached his hand out.

I felt nauseous and slapped his hand away.

Seeing this, Shirley directly became angry.

"Arden, what's wrong with you? You don't have the ability. Jenkins kindly found an expert to treat your mother. What kind of attitude is that?

Apologize to him quickly, or I'll call your mother to cancel the wedding and make her regret having such an unfilial son!"

In the past, every time Shirley was angry, she would scold me. As long as she was happy, I would let her be.

But later, it seemed to have become a habit of hers.

I had really spoiled her!

As a result, she could even run away from our wedding!

"I'd rather die than apologize to such a bastard!" I sneered.

Jenkins rubbed his hands and sighed,

"Shirley, your fiancé is not a good person. Why did you marry him?"

Hearing this, Shirley's face darkened, and she raised her voice, "Arden, you are not only petty but also rude!

Apologize to Jenkins! Don't make me angry!"

I looked at Shirley coldly. From the moment she angered my mother to death, my love for her had disappeared.

My mother's ashes had not been buried yet, so I had no time to argue with them.

"Out of my way!"

I pushed Jenkins away and took the selected jade bangle to the cashier.

But he suddenly stepped forward and blocked my phone.

"Wait a moment. How much is this bangle? I'll take it."

I glanced at him coldly, "Don't you understand the principle: first come, first served?"

Jenkins smiled and looked at Shirley, "Shirley, do you like this bangle? I'll buy it to you."

Shirley nodded as if she was taking revenge on me for not obeying her, "I like it very much."

Jenkins nodded with a smile and said, "I can buy it at a double price."

Hearing this, the shop assistant's eyes suddenly lit up.

When my mother came here, before she died, she really liked this bangle. I couldn't give it to them, so I gritted my teeth.

"I'll pay three times!"

The bangle was valuable. I didn't know what kind of family Jenkins was from. When I called out the price, he immediately offered four times the price.

He sneered and said, "Shirley is the most important person to me. No matter what, I can't give this jade bangle to you, unless you apologize to me!"

Then, he suddenly whispered in my ear, "By the way, that picture is not bad, huh?"

He wanted to humiliate me, because Shirley didn't love me at all. But he didn't know that picture caused my mother's death!

When I thought of my mother, I couldn't control my anger.

In the face of Jenkins, I couldn't help but punch him in the face.

"Go to hell!"

Before he could react, he fell to the ground with his hands covering his face and howling.

I was still angry and wanted to punch him again.

But Shirley stood in front of him and cursed me loudly,

"It's fine if you don't apologize, but how dare you hit him? I'll call your mother right now!"

She was threatening me with my mother.

"It's useless to call my mother. No matter who comes today, I'll beat him to death!"

"Okay, don't regret it!"

After that, Shirley took out her mobile phone.

Having suffered a loss, Jenkins stood up and pounced on me. "How dare you hit me! I'll kill you!"

That was exactly what I wanted!

However, two strong men suddenly appeared out of nowhere and caught me tightly.

With a vicious look on his face, Jenkins punched me hard in the lower abdomen.

I felt pain and bent down.

After kicking me a few more times, Jenkins laughed proudly and then ordered the two men, "Come on! Beat him hard!"

Hearing this, the two of them punched and kicked me.

I hugged myself, and intense pain came from every part of my body.

At this time, Shirley had already called my mother and looked down at me coldly.

"Arden, you wouldn't have ended up like this, if you had apologized to Jenkins earlier.

And you were the one who hit him first. You brought this upon yourself."

"You want me to apologize?" I roared, "In your dreams!"

Shirley was so angry that her hands were shaking. "Arden, if your mother has a heart attack again because of you, don't regret it!"

However, to her surprise, my mother's cell phone rang.

Shirley frowned. Seeing that I was about to be beaten to death, she finally stopped the men.

"Did you secretly take your mother's mobile phone, because you were ready to make trouble?

Arden, you're such a villain, but don't think that I can't do anything to you just because of this. I was a little apologetic for leaving without saying goodbye at the wedding, so I specially asked Jenkins to find an expert to treat your mother. Now it seems that you don't care about your mother's health at all."

I felt pain all over my body and looked at Shirley with red eyes.

"It's your fault that my mother died! Don't disgust me!"

Shirley sneered and said, "Well, if I can't get in touch with your mother, your mother won't be cured!"

"Hello, Dr. Zack. No need to treat Arden's mother. Yes, cancel the appointment!"

"But..."

On the phone, Dr. Zack sounded a little hesitant.

Shirley frowned and asked, "Any problem?"

"Miss Lane, don't you know that Arden's mother passed away a few days ago?"

Shirley's face froze, and she said in disbelief, "How is that possible? She was still fine on the wedding!"
