☆, Eighteen Letters
From the day Mrs. Nan passed away, Xia Anan returned to the storage room. Her daily meals were bread and milk given by Zhao Meiqi. Since Nan Jinnian didn't ask for anything else, she didn't dare to give her anything else to eat.
However, this is nothing to Xia Anan.
Faced with the stubborn and unresponsive Xia Anan, Nan Jinnian became increasingly impatient.
He wanted to use Zhao Meiqi to stimulate Xia Anan, but Xia Anan seemed to be completely indifferent and continued to do what she was supposed to do. She did housework every day, got up early and went to bed late, and kept the huge villa clean and tidy.
Zhao Meiqi naturally knew why she was able to live in the Nan residence these days. She had no good intentions from the beginning. To her, Xia Anan was a threat, and she wished this threat would disappear immediately.
But she couldn't do that. She was afraid that her actions would anger Nan Jinnian, so she had been testing the waters carefully. Their wedding was originally scheduled for next month, but it had to be postponed due to Mrs. Nan's death. This made her even more dissatisfied with Xia Anan.
But she still acted kind to Xia Anan, because she knew that the better she treated Xia Anan, the more dissatisfied Nan Jinnian would be with her!
Huateng Group at this time.
Aunt Huang stood in the office and looked at Nan Jinnian: "Xiao Nan, this is a letter I found when I was sorting out my wife's belongings..."
Aunt Huang looked much more haggard these past few days. She had worked as a nanny in the Nan family for more than 20 years, and the Nan family treated her very well, both in terms of treatment and interactions. They even allowed her to bring her family to live in the Nan house during the New Year and other holidays. Over time, she came to regard the Nan house as her second home, and all the Nan family members as her own relatives. However, she had not expected that Qingping would commit suicide after she had only been away for a while.
Nan Jinnian unfolded the letter in his hand:
To my son:
My child, when you see this letter, your mother will have passed away. Please forgive your mother because she misses your father so much. In addition, your mother has been unconscious for the past five years. I know that every time I was sick, I couldn’t even recognize you. Although An Cui didn’t say anything, I could feel it.
Mental illness cannot be cured. Mom will always be a burden to you while she's alive. Besides, Mom's lucid time is getting shorter and shorter. When she goes completely crazy, she'll be a mother who can't even recognize her son. I really can't bear it...
So... forgive me... and don't be sad. I'm just going to reunite with your father. I once read a saying that when you die, your body will slowly decompose and oxidize, then turn into molecules and disperse in the air. So, son... remember, I've never left you...
Nan Jinnian, your loving mother, held the letter tightly in his hand. He gritted his teeth, but his eyes became red. He put down the letter and rubbed his face hard.
"Auntie Huang, thank you for your hard work." He sniffed.
"Xiao Nan, it's useless for me to say anything now, but I still want to say this. I know best what Madam has been like these past few years. Sometimes when she gets mad, she doesn't even spare herself. Two years ago, she had an attack and stabbed herself in the neck with a pair of scissors. If I hadn't discovered it in time and snatched the scissors away, there would have been another time when Madam was climbing through the window while shouting Master's name..."
Nan Jinnian was horrified when he heard this: "Why don't I know anything about this?"
Aunt Huang sighed, "You were so busy back then that even after Madam woke up, she wouldn't let me tell you, so I never told you... I know I shouldn't have kept it from you, but... Madam's stubborn temper wouldn't let me tell you."
Nan Jinnian leaned back in his chair, and suddenly he lost all his strength and burst into tears. Aunt Huang couldn't help but shed tears when she saw this.
Lin Cheng stood at the door and asked everyone to leave. Their President Nan had been ruthless and decisive and calm in the past five years, and he never showed mercy, but now he finally couldn't hold on any longer.
On this day, Nan Jinnian returned home very early. He ignored the two women in the house and went straight back to the bedroom.
Xia Anan naturally saw Nan Jinnian's red eyes, but she had no right to step forward...
But Zhao Meiqi was different. She followed quickly. After entering the bedroom, Xia Anan heard the sound of the door closing. She stood there for a while, then looked at the half-processed ingredients in the kitchen. These were all made by Zhao Meiqi, and she was just helping out.
She rolled up her sleeves, took care of the rest, and started preparing dinner for tonight.
She didn't know what the two people in the bedroom were talking about or doing. She didn't want to know, nor did she want to know. She just had to do her own thing!
That’s right! She just needs to do her own thing!
Xia Anan forced herself not to think too much and to concentrate on cooking, but she still cared no matter what. It was the same yesterday, the day before yesterday, and she cared all the time!
She felt like she was going crazy. She loved Nan Jinnian and even destroyed everything he had for love. But... in order to torture her, Nan Jinnian went in and out with his fiancée, ate and lived with her. She was almost going crazy with jealousy!
But she didn't want to show it, because her pride wouldn't allow it. Even though she never had any self-esteem, she would only show it when facing Nan Jinnian...
Finally, after she prepared dinner and put it on the dining table, she hid in the storage room. There was a small bed in the storage room. She curled up in the bed. She had long adapted to the darkness... because she knew that the darkness here would not hurt her.
