Thinking about how everyone was pointing fingers at me, I couldn't help but feel even more depressed.
At this moment, a hand was placed on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Qiu Qiuzheng looking at me with a worried look on his face.
She forced a smile at me and comforted me, "Alright, don't think about those unhappy things. Love and family are not reliable. It's safest to focus on your career. With money on your side, no one can live the same life."
Qiu Qiu's words were rough but my point was valid. I nodded and agreed with her, and my depressed mood eased a lot.
I picked up a bag of freeze-dried food and fed it to the kittens at my feet. Qiu Qiu beside me suddenly fell silent.
I noticed something was wrong. She was usually the talkative one, and she always looked absent-minded when facing these kittens.
I looked up at Qiu Qiu suspiciously: "What's wrong with you? Why do I feel like you're a little weird today?"
Qiu Qiu stared at me and swallowed. "There's something I should tell you. But..."
Seeing her hesitant look, I frowned slightly and urged her, "Speak."
Qiu Qiu took a deep breath and spoke hesitantly, "Yuan Yaxin has been released and has returned to VC Media to continue working. She is still the vice president."
My hand holding the freeze-dried food froze, and the bag fell to the ground, attracting a scramble from a group of cats.
Qiu Qiu quickly tried to comfort me, "I know it must be hard for you to accept this, but I don't know what kind of power is behind Yuan Yaxin. They were able to cover up such a big thing..."
"I signed the letter of apology." I whispered this slowly, which made Qiu Qiu stunned for a moment.
She looked at me in disbelief, and after a long pause she asked me, "Are you crazy? You actually forgave Yuan Yaxin?! She was the one who caused you to have an abortion!"
My heart trembled slightly, and when I thought of the unborn child, I was filled with guilt.
It was the letter of apology I signed that allowed Yuan Yaxin to walk out of the police station safely and allowed the matter to be settled peacefully without being made public.
The people at VC Media only knew that Yuan Yaxin was taken away by the police, but they didn't know what she had done wrong. Now that I'm not pursuing the matter and can cover it up a little, the matter can be glossed over.
Yuan Yaxin's life was not affected by this incident, and Lu Zhiyuan also made excuses for her with peace of mind. Only I was still feeling upset.
I smiled bitterly and explained to Qiu Qiu, "Lu Zhiyuan forced me to sign the letter of understanding. This was also the condition for him to agree to divorce me."
Upon hearing that it was Lu Zhiyuan's idea, Qiu Qiu angrily cursed, "This Lu Zhiyuan, has he no heart? The person who was killed was his own flesh and blood!"
I was filled with irony.
Compared to that child, he cared more about Yuan Yaxin's reputation, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to get me to sign the letter of understanding.
Now that Yuan Yaxin's life has returned to normal and Lu Zhiyuan has divorced me, the next step should be for them to prepare for their wedding, right?
I felt a tightness in my chest. I didn't know why I was upset. Maybe I was unwilling to see them living together.
I always wish Yuan Yaxin would pay a terrible price.
As I was distracted, my cell phone rang, bringing me back to my senses.
When I saw the notes on the screen, my heart sank. It was Mingsi.
Is she calling me to blame me?
I hesitated for a moment, but inexplicably had expectations for Mingsi, so I answered the phone.
"Xiao Shan, where are you? Why haven't you come home yet?"
