He, who was astute, certainly didn't miss the regret in Jiao Jiao's eyes—the regret of things not done and lingering resentments.
Qiao Zhenbang had every reason to suspect that Jiao Jiao's death was not merely due to physical causes but also related to her psychological state.
Indeed, her despised ex-husband had become a tycoon while she had fallen to the lowest rungs of society as a beggar.
Such a significant psychological disparity, regardless of how thick-skinned Jiao Jiao was, left her with an unbearable shame and infinite regret.
Subsequently, Qiao Zhenbang, disregarding her past wrongdoings, repaid evil with good by giving her money and taking her to see a doctor, which only added to her internal conflict.
Gratitude, humiliation, and regret—all these emotions intertwined; knowing she was terminally ill, her will to live grew weaker and weaker.
So... Qiao Zhenbang felt that he had completely avenged himself against Jiao Jiao!
"Avenged my ass!"
