0136 Defeat
"I went to university and got a good job so that I could make something of myself."
She shook her head with a self-deprecating laugh, tears welling in her eyes.
"To get ahead of others..."
Jiang Jifan never believed in fate and once thought that as long as she did not succumb to fate, she could have a chance to "rise from the ashes". For more than 20 years, she grew up with hatred for Jiang Qiyuan.
Hatred was one of the main motivations that helped her get into university. As long as she thought about how those who had abandoned and bullied her would repent in front of her after she became successful, she felt that it was all worth it.
"And what was the result?" Jiang Jifan muttered to himself, his gaze unfocused. "Why are they living so well?"
"Why should I!" She suddenly jumped up and smashed the wine bottle in her hand, her voice cracking at the end, every word filled with resentment and indignation.
The difficult family circumstances did not break her, nor did the unfair treatment she received in college. Only the fact that "Jiang Qiyuan, that scoundrel, is living a better life than I imagined" completely broke her.
The person she hated most in her life was living a better life than her. This was more painful and unacceptable than killing Jiang Jifan!
Xing Yeye was startled. When she looked up, she saw her face covered in tears and her emotionally distraught state. She knew that her daughter had completely broken down and felt both heartache and fear.
Fearing she might do something uncontrollable that could harm herself, she immediately stepped over the spilled wine and mess on the floor, went over and hugged her, gently patting her back to comfort her, saying, "Jifan, believe me, they will get their comeuppance, they definitely will..."
She kept repeating these words in her ear until Jiang Jifan relaxed.
Xing Yeye originally wanted her to stay at her house for the night, but halfway through, Tantai Qing called looking for her.
When Tantai Qing arrived at her house, he saw Jiang Jifan lying unconscious on the sofa, reeking of alcohol. He knelt down and brushed away the hair that was covering her beautiful face, revealing a face with smudged makeup.
He paused when he saw the crisscrossing tear tracks on her cheeks.
"What happened?" He stood up and turned to ask Xing Yeye, his expression worried.
Xing Yeye said she had been in a bad mood ever since she met Jiang Jiwang today.
She didn't elaborate on how bad it was.
It's Jiang Jiwang again.
Upon hearing this, Tantai Qing frowned, wondering if the other person had said something they shouldn't have to her again.
Before seeing them off, Xing Yeye handed Jiang Jifan's bag to him, sighed softly, and said in a veiled way, "She has suffered too much these past years."
Tantai Qing glanced at the sleeping face in his arms, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He hugged her tightly, looked up at Xing Yeye, and solemnly said, "I will take good care of her."
When they got home, the first thing Tantai Qing did was to remove her makeup.
When he was wiping her face with a towel, he tried to be as quiet as possible, but he still woke her up.
"Where's my computer?" Jiang Jifan opened his eyes groggily, unsteady on his feet, and scrambled to his feet off the sofa.
Tantai Qing was confused and unsure if she had sobered up, so he gently pressed her shoulders and said soothingly, "Don't worry, I'll go get it for you."
At first, he didn't know what she was going to do, but after seeing her awkwardly turn on the computer, he earnestly said, "I want to work hard, I want to make something of myself."
Then he started blindly typing on the keyboard as if venting his frustration.
Tantai Qing then realized that she was still drunk.
Jiang Jifan stared intently at the computer screen that wasn't even turned on, pounding the keyboard and gritting his teeth as he said, "I'm going to make lots and lots of money! I'm going to make them kneel down and beg me for forgiveness!"
Tantai Qing's heart skipped a beat. He was about to stop her and calm her down when he saw her suddenly bury her face in the computer screen and fall into a deep sleep.
"Ji Fan?" He was startled and quickly shook her. When she didn't respond, he helped her up from the computer and leaned her on his shoulder.
Hearing her long, even breaths close to his ear, Tantai Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As clever as he was, he had already guessed the reason for her emotional breakdown tonight from her few words.
Tantai Qing gently brushed her hair aside, tenderly lowered his head and kissed her face, his eyes full of pity.
