Chapter 303 Your apology is too light, too thin

Shao Ting'an's face turned pale in an instant, and the last glimmer of hope in his eyes was extinguished.

Su Li looked at him like this, feeling nothing in her heart, and even found it a little ridiculous.

She opened her red lips slightly, her voice carrying a hint of cold mockery:

"Do you think Zhao Xinran gave you some kind of instant-killing poison?"

"No, she wouldn't be that stupid. It would be too easy for you."

Shao Ting'an lowered his eyes slightly. He knew very well that Su Li hated him, so he was not too shocked at the moment.

Su Li continued slowly, "The medicine Zhao Xinran gave you is a chronic poison."

"It's colorless and odorless, and it will gradually make you sleepy, dazed, and cause severe memory loss."

"As time goes by, even if you don't pretend to be crazy, you will become a real, hopeless lunatic."

Her voice was soft, but like an ice-cold dagger, it pierced Shao Ting'an's heart precisely.

Shao Ting'an looked up at her, as if he didn't recognize her. To be exact, since the accident, he had been wondering when Su Li started to change.

Her change did seem strange to him.

Su Li looked him in the face without dodging or evading, and spoke with a hint of amusement, "You should be grateful to me. After all, I saved you from the danger of going crazy."

"The medicine you took was replaced by Sun Gang a long time ago."

"Did you send Sun Gang?"

"We're just cooperating at best. He's a police officer, and it's his job to arrest you."

"Su Li, you really put a lot of effort into it."

Shao Ting'an suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, the unwillingness in his eyes gradually faded away, replaced by a silent despair.

Su Li's eyes were cold, as if she was looking at a stranger who had nothing to do with her.

Shao Ting'an's bloodshot eyes finally shed two lines of turbid tears.

"Su Li..." His voice was hoarse and dry, filled with deep regret, "I'm sorry."

He had wanted to say these three words for a long time, but he never had the chance. Su Li never gave him the opportunity to say them.

After he was imprisoned, he tossed and turned in countless days and nights, and the sentence he most wanted to say to her was...

He knew the apology was feeble, but he had to say it.

Upon hearing this, Su Li just curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a very faint, almost non-existent sneer.

"Your apology is too light, too thin."

Her voice was calm and steady.

"It's worthless, really."

She paused, her eyes sweeping across the empty visiting room, and said with a relieved smile, "You and she have already received the punishment you deserve. You will never be free from it in this lifetime."

Shao Ting'an's heart sank completely to the bottom.

Yes, punishment.

He was disgraced and thrown into prison.

Zhao Xinran, the person he once thought loved him very much and would become his support after he was released from prison, had forgotten him early on and will now face legal sanctions.

And his ex-wife, the woman he had pushed into hell with his own hands, now stood before him, sober, rational, and even... with a kind of indifference that he had never seen before, a sense of control over everything.

Su Li looked at his distraught appearance and knew that her goal for today had been achieved.

But there is one more thing.

That thorn has been buried in her heart for too long, and today, she wants to pull it out with her own hands.

"Shao Ting'an," Su Li's tone became sharp again, "I came here today not only to laugh at your joke, but also to ask you something."

Shao Ting'an raised his head blankly.

Su Li's gaze was like a torch, piercing straight into his eyes:

"Did you know from the beginning that Fu Jinzhou liked me?"

Shao Ting'an's pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously tried to avoid her sight.

Su Li sneered and pressed on:

"The misunderstanding between Fu Jinzhou and I was caused by you?"

This question, like a rusty key, pried open the dark corner deep in Shao Ting'an's memory.

He remembered the young man who was full of vigor and vitality many years ago, and the tenderness and love that could not be hidden in his eyes when he looked at Su Li.

He recalled those times when Fu Jinzhou mustered up the courage to approach Su Li, but was intercepted by him without making a sound.

Su Li looked at him quietly, waiting for his answer.

After a moment of silence, Shao Ting'an nodded: "Yes."

This one word weighed a thousand pounds in Su Li's heart.

"Fu Jinzhou...he did want to confess his feelings to you a few times." Shao Ting'an's voice was low, and he looked at Su Li with a little timidity in his eyes. "I always...used various things to distract him."

"When we were in Daliu Village..." His fingers scratched the cold table unconsciously, "I kept the letter he wrote to you."

"I was swept away by the flood not because I was anxious to fight the flood, but because the postman was going to pass by at that time and I wanted to intercept the letter..."

The dusty past was revealed bloodily.

It turned out that the relationship between her and Fu Jinzhou was not just a simple miss.

Instead, it is mixed with such despicable calculations and destruction.

Because Shao Ting'an was washed away by the flood, he searched for him for two days and two nights along the receding flood water. Finally, he fainted on the river bank and was rescued by Liu Cui'e.

It turns out that all this was caused by him.

Su Li's heart suddenly tightened, and she felt a sharp pain.

It’s not because of Shao Tingan’s meanness, but because of Fu Jinzhou and the time they missed.

She took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions surging in her heart.

The look he gave Shao Ting'an was filled with complete coldness and disgust.

"Shao Ting'an, you are really... disgusting."

After saying this, Su Li stood up, without even looking at him again, and turned around and left resolutely.

***

As I walked out of the detention center, the early autumn sunshine fell on my body, bringing warmth and gentleness.

Su Li's heart was like the sunlight penetrating through the clouds, lighter and clearer than ever before.

Shao Ting'an's admission was like the last piece of a puzzle, completing all the regrets and unwillingness in her past and present lives.

The huge rock that was weighing on my heart was finally removed.

All the darkness, betrayal and pain in the past disappeared as she turned away resolutely.

She doesn't hate anymore.

Because hatred is a drain on oneself.

They have paid the price, and that is enough.

From now on, she only wants to live for herself and for someone who is worthy.

In my mind, Fu Jinzhou's gentle eyebrows and the indelible affection and warmth in his eyes when he looked at me clearly emerged.

Jinzhou...

Fu Jinzhou!

At this moment, a strong and uncontrollable impulse surged in Su Li's heart.

She wanted to see him immediately.

I want to throw myself into his warm arms and feel his steady heartbeat.

I want to tell him that everything is over.

She wanted to tell him how much she cherished everything she had now.

She didn't want to waste even a minute.

She wants to make up for the time that was stolen by Shao Tingan bit by bit and doubly.

Su Li no longer hesitated, stopped a passing jeep and headed straight for the bus station.

She is going to Qi County.

Go to the place where Fu Jinzhou is.
