Mei Dongliang sighed deeply: "Xiangcao has a miserable life. She thought she had found a man who truly loved her and could take care of her and protect her, but she didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

You have lost your memory, you don't remember anything, it's as if you've never been here. But Vanilla gave birth to three children for you. When you left, Xiaoyang and Tingting were only that old, you had to hold them in your arms, and Jiangye was only four years old.

Vanilla had to take her three children to work every day, and after work she had to be dragged through parades. As a woman, you have no idea how she endured those years."

Mei Dongliang couldn't help but wipe away his tears, choked for a while, and continued: "She was really in a difficult situation at that time. She couldn't bear it and persuaded her to remarry. With Xiangcao's conditions, even with three children, it wouldn't be difficult for her to find a man who could take care of them.

But she said she was waiting for you. We all said that since you didn't come back, you must be in danger outside, but she just didn't believe it. No matter how hard or difficult it was, she insisted on going on.

When she couldn't bear it any longer, she said that if she remarried and you came back to see that she had become someone else's, you would go crazy, because she would still be thinking of you at that time.

She was like a fool, waiting for you to come back no matter what. Did you know? In fact, her mental state was a little abnormal after you left, but for the sake of the children and to wait for you to come back, she has been trying hard to hold on and endure.

Jiang Dongcheng listened to Mei Dongliang's story, and suddenly hugged his head in pain, curled up on the ground like a cooked shrimp.

Fragments flashed through his mind intermittently: the beautiful flowers all over the mountains, the girl smiling sweetly at him, the thieves coming to the house, the blood all over the ground... and the red silk all over the yard, and the candles in the bridal chamber.

But these images appeared and disappeared so quickly that he couldn't connect them.

These are all the memories he has lost, and he really wants to get them back completely.

Mei Dongliang patted his shoulder and said, "Tell me about your life these years. In Beijing, have you remarried?"

Jiang Dongcheng nodded and did not hide it from him: "I married one."

"How are you guys doing? How many children do you have?"

"Anyway, we just live together, that's all. We have two children, a boy and a girl, both eighteen this year."

Mei Dongliang was puzzled again: "Since you have lost your memory of this place, why did you think of coming here?"

"I met them in Jing City: Xiang, Xiangcao, and their three children."

"It was Vanilla who told you about her past with you."

"She didn't tell you about the love affair she had with him. I'll tell you in detail later. When I suspected I was the father of his child, she didn't want to destroy my current family, so she denied any connection with me and refused to talk about that past. That's why I came here specifically."

"Well, now that you know, what's the point? Vanilla has already passed her most difficult time, and her best years are over. Now her three children are grown up, Xiaoye is so promising, Tingting has married an officer, and Xiaoyang doesn't bother her much anymore. She has finally made it.

You also have your own family, your own wife and children, what else can you do?"

"I, I will try my best to make it up to them."

"I can't control what's going on between you two. You've missed each other for so many years, and you're already old. Just be content. But if your current wife knew about your past and the fact that you have three children, wouldn't she cause trouble for Vanilla? I hope you can handle this relationship properly. Vanilla has endured enough and finally made it through. Don't let her suffer any more because of you."

"No, I know I owe her a lot, and I won't let her get into trouble again."
