He said he regretted it, he said he was sorry, he said that in this special era he was the only one who understood her the most and was more suitable to be with her than any other man, he said he would not ask for forgiveness and let her beat and scold him but only asked her to give him another chance, he said he would not repeat the same mistake and she would always be the most important thing in his heart.
However, she remembered the harsh words he said about breaking up, remembered that even though she cried, he still left without looking back, remembered how she locked herself up in the small villa for two years after they broke up, pretending to have forgotten, pretending to be in the past, suppressing the negative emotions in her heart and coaxing herself to get by, how many phone calls she made to the psychologist and how much she learned to prevent her emotions from breaking down, and she also remembered how heartbroken, confused and at a loss she felt when she received his suicide note.
The shadows of past and present lives were vague, and Song Shuyao held the letter but was unable to take action. She let go of one thought and held on to another. What was she asking for now?
If there was a bowl of Meng Po soup in front of her, and she was asked to drink it as her present life and let go of the past, would she be willing to drink it?
Song Shuyao closed her eyes and held the envelope tighter.

"I think we can't delay this marriage any longer. We should have it clear with Hao Yuanchao." Jiang's father spoke at the dinner table. Seeing that Song Shuyao's work assignment had come down, if the marriage was not made clear, it would be troublesome if it was reported to the workplace. So Jiang's father thought that they couldn't continue to be unclear like this. They had to talk it out with Hao Yuanchao first. That way, Song Shuyao could get married when she met the right person at her workplace. She couldn't just stay like this without getting married.
Jiang's mother also nodded in agreement, "We need to talk it out."
Jiang Shuhua and his wife had no objections; his father and mother were the ones who decided his younger sister's marriage. The other two children in the family were still naive and quietly ate their own meals, but their eyes followed the adults' gaze towards their beautiful aunt.
Song Shuyao slowly picked up a piece of braised eggplant with chopsticks and ate it. Seeing everyone's eyes on her, she said, "Well, I'll go find him and explain it later."
Hao Yuanchao hasn't come to visit these days. He had a temporary rehearsal plan and asked her to think about their affairs during this time. According to what he said at the time, she will be back in the next two days if nothing unexpected happens.
Jiang's mother nodded. "Alright, talk to him first." The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. Hao Yuanchao didn't have any elders, so it was better to let Song Shuyao talk it through. Maybe she'd accept it privately. If that didn't work out, then go find the person who had brought them together. It would be best if they could reach an amicable divorce privately.
She glanced at her little daughter. She seemed to have lost a lot of weight recently and her temperament had become much calmer. She must have been feeling bad. Fortunately, she seemed to have come to terms with it and was able to speak up. This meant she was letting it go. She breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that if she kept holding it in, it would make her feel uncomfortable. She took the initiative to pick up a piece of food and put it in the bowl. "Eat more. You've lost weight."
Song Shuyao froze as she looked at the dish in the bowl. Those were the chopsticks that Jiang's mother had used to eat... Never mind, she decided to just eat it without losing her composure. She frowned slightly, picked up another dish, wrapped it up, and swallowed it.
No one noticed or cared about this small action. Jiang's mother had always treated Jiang Shuyao like this, and Jiang Shuyao was used to it. However, they were not the same person after all, and some habits were really unacceptable. Even when her relationship with Liang Li was at its best, she accepted it when he picked up the food with his own chopsticks. It was only after he fed her the food in a gangster-like way that she accepted it. But no matter in the previous life or this life, he was the only one who did that to her without feeling disgusted.
As for Jiang's mother's words, there was nothing she could do. She was her mother now, and she dared not and could not despise her.
Song Shuyao quickly finished her meal and put down her chopsticks to avoid having food taken from her again, then she packed up and went to Hao Yuanchao's school.
Since we have to make it clear, it doesn’t matter who takes the initiative to come to the door. It’s more convenient to do it outside.
But I don’t know if it was luck or coincidence, but just as I walked out of the house, I saw Liang Li walking towards me with a few bananas and three or two apples. The moment he saw Song Shuyao, his tense face immediately relaxed, and there seemed to be a light in his eyes.
Song Shuyao stopped immediately.
Liang Li walked in quickly, "Are you going out? I just came back from rehearsal and bought some fruit from someone selling fruit on the way. Would you like a banana?" His attitude was friendly and his tone was familiar, but he was cautious and cautious, hiding a hint of uneasiness.
Song Shuyao glanced at the net bag in his hand and said calmly, "Well, I'm going to go out and find someone."
"Male or female? I just happen to be going with you." He started to make up stories with his eyes open, and his inner vigilance suddenly increased, just like when they were dating in his previous life, she would follow him whenever he went out.
Song Shuyao didn't keep the secret. She looked around and saw that there were still people around, so she said, "Let's go."
He didn't say where he was going, but Liang Li was very happy to follow him, not caring at all where he was going.
Song Shuyao took the man to a corner, and after making sure that there was no one around and they would not be seen, she reached out and grabbed Liang Li's arm. The scene changed and they arrived in the villa space.
