Three days later, at the end of August, the sun was still scorching hot, baking the earth, but the Shanghai Mausoleum was very cool, cool to the heart, even chilling, making one shiver.
At this moment, the Chu people gathered before a tomb, looking at the tombstone: Chang Shen, born in xx year, died in xx year...
Yang Meina looked at the photo on the tombstone. Chang Shen's expression was indifferent, his eyes were lifeless, yet he seemed to have seen through the world.
She still remembers the first time she met Chang Shen. She wanted to pursue him, thinking it would be a piece of cake, but the latter slapped her hard with his arrogant attitude.
After experiencing many things, she knew she was not good enough for Chang Shen, so she chose Wang Wenhao.
But she never expected Chang Shen to take this step.
Chang Shen's father, Chang Jie, murmured, "How could this happen..."
Du Yujie said, "There seems to be an error in my experiment."
"It's all your fault that Shen'er died." Chang Jie pointed at Du Yujie.
“It’s none of my business,” Du Yujie shook her head.
"It's you..." Chang Jie stepped forward and grabbed Du Yujie's sleeve, but everyone present quickly stopped him.
Du Yujie took a step back: "The dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept my condolences."
Her face was calm, as if the one who died was not the child she had carried for ten months, and then she prepared to leave.
Chu Fang called out to Du Yujie: "Give me back my money."
"That ten million?"
"Yes."
"Sorry, I've already used it."
"I don't care, you have to pay back the money, even if you committed murder or arson, you still have to pay back the money." Chu Fang's voice was heavy.
“Your thinking has been dominated by emotions, leading you to make irrational decisions,” Du Yujie said. “If I were to commit murder or arson, you would also bear the corresponding responsibility. Besides, that was money you voluntarily donated, so there’s no reason for me to return it.”
Du Yujie left the place saying, "I am very sorry for this, but please accept my condolences."
Upon hearing this, Chang Jie was filled with rage and was about to hit Du Yujie. Many people present then went to break up the fight, and chaos ensued in front of the cemetery.
After Du Yujie left by taxi, many of the mourners also left, leaving only Chu Fang, Zhong Tingyue, Chang Jie, and Yang Meina behind.
Chang Jie broke down in tears, and his newlywed wife helped him leave.
Yang Meina wanted to pat Chu Fang on the shoulder to signal that she was about to leave, but Zhong Tingyue stopped her childhood friend and shook her head.
The two men left the place and watched from afar as Chu Fang sat in front of the tomb.
Chu Fang sat in the cemetery, looking at the photo on the tombstone. He let out a long breath, trying to calm himself, and said, "You've finally left. It's good that you've left! It saves me from worrying and anxiety every day, from following you around every day, from sleeping in your shabby living room where I couldn't even sleep well..."
"You did a great job; it saved me a lot of trouble."
"You're dead, good, good riddance," Chu Fang murmured, then suddenly kicked the tombstone. "How the hell did you die?!"
Yang Meina saw Chu Fang kicking the tombstone: "Chu Fang, that's... ..."
Zhong Tingyue said, "Let him go."
She learned about the relationship between Chu Fang and Chang Shen from her fiancé.
When Chu Fang was going through his most difficult time, when he felt most empty inside and almost needed medication to maintain his mental state, Chang Shen was with him, helping Chu Fang solve his psychological problems in various effective ways.
During that time, the two of them opened an e-sports hotel and played games all night long; they rode their bicycles hundreds of kilometers away just to throw a rock into a river; they even bought a coffin, and they lay in it together, gazing at the stars and moon in the night sky...
For Chu Fang, Chang Shen's departure was unacceptable.
Zhong Tingyue gazed at Chu Fang's figure, her eyes filled with worry.
She was extremely worried about her fiancé's mental state...
Just then, Chu Fang's phone rang. Zhong Tingyue glanced at it and saw that it was a call from Chu Fang's private lawyer.
She answered the phone: "Hello, this is Zhong Tingyue. What's up?"
The person on the other end recognized her voice: "President Zhong, the matter that President Chu asked us to handle is a bit difficult. There were many students present when the donation was made, and they saw Chu Fang personally sign and transfer the money. There is also video evidence."
After the other person finished speaking, Zhong Tingyue was silent for a few seconds before asking, "What's the maximum you can accomplish?"
"Suspended from duty."
"Okay, let's do it that way," Zhong Tingyue instructed.
... ...
As soon as Du Yujie returned to Zhejiang University, the dean of the branch school summoned her to his office. Upon arriving at the office, the dean said, "Yujie, you are suspended from your duties starting today."
"Why?" Du Yujie frowned.
“Your donor has sent a legal team to the school, claiming that the assets were donated under your influence. This matter has caused a great uproar and is going to result in a lawsuit, so you have no choice but to suspend your duties.”
Du Yujie's expression remained unchanged: "I understand."
She then walked out of the office, touching her chest: "Why does it hurt a little? Is it because I've been suspended and can't work? Or is it because of Chang Shen's departure, and the emotional changes I'm experiencing as a mother? It's such a strange feeling."
... ...
Chu Fang sat in front of the tomb and punched Chang Shen in the face: "Go to hell!"
Tired of hitting and cursing, he pulled out the letter Chang Shen had left him: Chu Fang, it's a pleasure to meet you...
