Wei Yuan rolled up her sleeve to show Jiang Zhi her left hand.
She has a clear scar on her left wrist.
"I attempted suicide for you; that's my deepest memory from those three years. I bled a lot and almost died. If the landlord hadn't happened to be collecting rent, I might really have died."
"..."
Wei Yuan gave a cold laugh and continued, "I'd rather not be saved. I really wish I could just die like that. That way, I wouldn't be in so much pain, and I'd be free."
"..."
"I admit, I'm sorry, I wasn't there for you during your darkest time. But I'm not having an easy time either, being so far away, every day is torture for me."
"..."
“Zhi, I didn’t lie to you, I’m telling the truth. Now, I don’t want to hold a grudge anymore. Your grandfather is your closest relative, and I don’t want you two to fall out because of me. If that happens, you won’t be happy, I won’t be happy either, and I will feel like a sinner.”
"..."
"Our fate was too shallow! I'm really sad, my heart is breaking, and this is my helplessness."
As she spoke, Wei Yuan was still in tears.
Her performance was just like her acting skills; both her facial expressions and emotional delivery were spot-on.
She did attempt suicide, and it wasn't just a simple matter of saying it to elicit sympathy.
She had indeed ignored Jiang Zhi for three years, and she was indeed at fault. She could only use this tactic to gain a little pity from him and continue to increase her bargaining chips.
...
Jiang Zhi was shocked to see the scars on Wei Yuan's wrist!
From his initial indifference and aloofness, his expression has gradually softened.
He still felt a mix of emotions.
I also felt a lot of regret.
Grandpa doesn't like Wei Yuan, he knows that.
Grandpa could be ruthless for him.
Was he not important enough for her to stand firm and stay even at the cost of her grandfather's life?
For his life or death, would Grandpa not make an exception?
Seeing him on the verge of death, on the verge of not surviving, would Grandpa disregard his life or death?
Doesn't Grandpa want him to have some faith and desire to keep living?
Putting everything else aside, he firmly believed that his grandfather was doing it for his own good and would not let anyone hurt him.
He doesn't know what happened back then, and he hasn't figured it out yet.
It was his great fortune to have returned from the brink of death.
After he regained consciousness, he couldn't see the person he wanted to see; all he had to do was suffer, and he had to endure it all by himself.
He underwent three major surgeries and had a long recovery period... Isn't that incredibly cruel to him?!
In other words, he was given a second chance at life.
If he doesn't fully recover, if he's not a normal person, will she come back? Does she still want to be with him?
Anyone can say nice things.
But that might not be genuine!
Once you've endured the cruel pain, some things just seem insignificant.
Perhaps, they all have selfish thoughts!
"Wei Yuan, no matter what, you should live well for yourself. Some things are in the past and that's it. Our relationship was shallow, that's for sure."
Wei Yuan smiled bitterly, "The words 'destined fate' are so hurtful, like a knife."
"What promises do you want me to make? Is there any promise left between us? Expectations have become ridiculous. What else can we do but face reality? I'm married, and that won't change. I also have a responsibility to my wife. Maintaining a proper distance is what we should do."
Wei Yuan didn't say anything, but tears still streamed down her face.
Jiang Zhi's attitude, including his words, pierced her heart.
Can't he see her humility?
Their past affection couldn't compare to that woman, Qiao Chu?
She was quite disappointed in Jiang Zhi!
...
At that moment, Jiang Tuo walked in.
When I went over to take a look, something seemed off.
Wei Yuan was wiping away her tears, trying her best to compose herself.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Tuo greeted them first.
"Brother, sister!"
Wei Yuan nodded and smiled.
"Tuo, please have a seat!"
Immediately, Wei Yuan called the waiter and said that the food could be served.
Jiang Tuo saw that Wei Yuan's eyes were red and there were tear stains on her face, but he didn't know how to comfort her.
My sister-in-law is also good. She and my brother get along very well. It wouldn't be good to break them up.
My sister is all alone, which is quite pitiful.
Some things just don't go as planned, and life is no exception.
...
Wei Yuan's voice was still a little hoarse, and her smile wasn't as pretty.
She's quite pitiful!
"Please make yourselves at home, don't be shy. We haven't seen each other in so long, and I'm so happy to see you all doing well!"
Jiang Tuo could tell that his sister was unhappy.
He just didn't know what to say.
No matter what he said, he couldn't comfort her wounded heart.
...
Jiang Zhi looked at Jiang Tuo and said, "Eat it, or it will get cold."
Jiang Tuo nodded and began to eat.
Because of his arrival, Jiang Zhi and Wei Yuan stopped talking about the past.
Suddenly, Wei Yuan took out two gift boxes and gave them to Jiang Zhi and Jiang Tuo respectively.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you'll accept it. Next time, please invite Qiao Chu to have dinner with us too."
Jiang Zhi remained silent.
Jiang Tuo accepted the gift, and Jiang Zhi also accepted it.
Wei Yuan continued, "I heard that Auntie is sick. I want to go see her tomorrow morning and talk to her. She might be happy to see me."
Jiang Tuo couldn't make the decision; his grandfather would definitely not allow him to see his grandfather, so he remained silent.
Jiang Zhi: "Let's see after a while. Aunt's condition is still unstable."
