Liao Qian: "You're willing to help send Jasmine's ashes back to China today, which means you've completely forgiven Jasmine for what happened. Wasn't Lei Ting heartless just now, not even glancing at Jasmine's urn, and not wanting to help her transport her ashes back?"
An Ning: "Well, I don't hate Jasmine that much. If she hadn't used my poor child to provoke me that day, I wouldn't have hurt her so deeply. But Lei Ting... his eyes..."
Liao Qian: "You haven't figured out Lei Ting's ruthlessness, have you? Are you afraid that you will follow in Jasmine's footsteps? You feel that Lei Ting has cared about Jasmine for many years, but now that she has passed away, Lei Ting has no regrets at all. You don't understand this, do you?"
An Ning: "Yeah, I think Lei Ting is ruthless."
Liao Qian: "Let me tell you the whole story of Thunder and Jasmine!"
An Ning: "Okay..."
Liao Qian peeled an orange for An Ning and handed her the pulp. An Ning put it in her mouth and chewed, the orange's fragrance and the sweetness of the pulp giving her a touch of sweetness. Following Liao Qian's words, An Ning gained a more objective understanding of Lei Ting and Jasmine.
Liao Qian: "I first met Jasmine when Lei Ting and I were in high school. Jasmine was a transfer student; I don't know how she got into our class. Our class was an elite class, and for Jasmine's family to get into our class, she must have paid a considerable price. At that time, she had Lei Ting as her target. She used all sorts of tricks, like falling down or getting caught in the rain, to make Lei Ting's mind wander. Given Lei Ting's wealth, it was impossible for him to marry her, but she pursued him relentlessly. Moreover, when Lei Ting was with her, he discovered that she had already been a prostitute. Then, when Lei Ting came here to study at university, she started a relationship with a lecherous man in China. At that time, Lei Ting basically gave all his pocket money to Jasmine. Once, Lei Ting said he had no money for food, and I paid for his meal. You know what happened after that. She unilaterally broke up with Lei Ting, and Lei Ting was heartbroken. And then she ruined your marriage over a few tens of thousands of yuan. Do you think a woman like her has any love? Not to mention Lei Ting, does she have any love for anyone?"
An Ning: "This...she did so many terrible things, yet Lei Ting was still willing to abandon and hurt me for her...it's clear...in Lei Ting's heart...I am replaceable, but she is not..."
Liao Qian: "I've heard a little about what you've been up to in China, but there's one thing you need to remember, Anning: you are Anning. You grew up under the loving guidance of your parents and have the same financial background as Lei Ting. You are evenly matched. Putting aside your love, Jasmine wouldn't pass muster with Lei Ting's elders. You're different. You are someone his elders approve of. Just for that reason alone, you don't need to belittle yourself."
An Ning: "I... I just don't understand why Lei Ting, who was once so infatuated with Jasmine, is so heartless now."
Liao Qian: "Because he has never faced his own heart. When you first got married, he only felt relieved without his grandparents' nagging. He didn't realize that you were already a part of his life. For the two years of your marriage, he was deceiving himself. He thought he married you to escape his grandparents' nagging. He couldn't let go of Jasmine in his heart. In fact, this was his repressed existence. The moment he saw Jasmine, he was released and relieved. Then he realized that he was wrong. Your existence gave him a new reminder. Jasmine was nothing special. He had you in his heart. You were his inseparable family. Jasmine was just a breath he had been holding in."
Anning: "He's been too good to me these past few days, but I can earn this kind of kindness myself. On the way here, I was thinking, does Leiting think that what you can't have is the best, and once you get it, you can just throw it away?"
Liao Qian: "Most men have this mentality. He treats you differently. He fills a room with roses for you, removing the thorns beforehand, and then walks barefoot around the room several times to make sure that not a single thorn can prick you before he feels at ease. Just based on this, he has never done anything like that with Jasmine and would never do it. Does he do all this just to get your body? No, Lei Ting has no shortage of women, and even more so of beautiful women. You have already captured his heart. You could say that his heart will beat for you from now on."
An Ning: "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly..."
Liao Qian: "After studying psychology for so many years, I think Jasmine's feelings for Lei Ting are just lust. This lust is optional. Lei Ting felt that since he came to New York for university, he hadn't taken responsibility for Jasmine. At least he should have met her and talked about breaking up properly. Jasmine used countless seductive tricks on him before, which caused the budding of lust in Lei Ting's heart. That's why it got out of control when they met again. But once this lust was released, it was gone. You are different. You are as important to him as life itself. You have grown into a towering tree in his heart, deeply rooted and guarding his body. No one can uproot you."
Anning: "Why didn't Leiting keep Jasmine deep in his heart? He hurt my child because of Jasmine."
Liao Qian: "It was wrong of Lei Ting to hurt your child, but it wasn't just because of Jasmine. Jasmine happened to appear at that time. Lei Ting had never examined your marriage. He just drifted through life. His idea at the time was to continue living like this without any disturbance. The arrival of this child made him panic. His desire for Jasmine, which had been suppressed for several years, was fighting against your true feelings for him. At that time, desire was at its peak and won over a bit of true feelings. When the child left, his desire also left. When true feelings occupied his heart, he realized what he really wanted to do. Your innocence and your meticulous care for him, and the drive that your regret for leaving gave him, are drives that Lei Ting will never want to experience again in his life."
