Finally, the day arrived when Chen Yao recovered and was discharged from the hospital. Fang Zhiyi specially tidied his appearance and held flowers to greet his true love at the hospital entrance. However, fate seemed to be playing a huge joke on him.
He saw Zhou Kai, the scumbag who dumped Chen Yao, walk out with his head held high, while Chen Yao linked arms with him.
At this moment, Fang Zhiyi was stunned.
"Thank you, you're a good person... But I can't lie to you, and I can't lie to myself, I still love him... You'll wish me well, right?"
Fang Zhiyi stared blankly at the still beautiful girl in front of her and her family behind her.
They no longer looked at him with the same intimacy as before, but with eyes full of wariness.
He was unwilling to accept it. He had given so much for Chen Yao, how could it end like this? Fang Zhiyi mustered up his courage to ask Chen Yao for an answer. He didn't understand why Chen Yao would choose the man who abandoned her.
However, the Chen family refused to let him in.
"Look at your status, you're drowning in debt and you still want to marry our daughter? Do you even deserve it?" Finally, the originally kind Chen's mother completely changed her expression and revealed her true thoughts.
"But I'm in debt because..."
"You! I knew you weren't that kind!" Chen Yao's younger brother, Chen Mingli, rushed out. "We didn't beg you for that! You did it voluntarily! If you're not happy, go ahead and sue us! We're ready to fight you!"
Fang Zhiyi stood there blankly, and Chen Mingli pushed him, causing him to back away repeatedly.
He felt a lump in his throat, unable to go up or down.
Chen Yao didn't answer his calls, but he still tried sending her a message, not for any other reason than to ask for an answer. After a long time, Chen Yao replied. He wanted to know why she treated him this way after all he had done.
"I didn't beg you to help me. You were the one who wanted to help me. I'm a person too, and I have the right to pursue my own feelings! I heard from my mom that you came to my house and caused a scene today. If you do this again, I'll call the police next time!"
Fang Zhiyi gave a wry smile. Just then, Wang Hao called, and he was clearly drunk on the other end of the line.
"Hey bro, come quick and buy me two packs of cigarettes."
Fang Zhiyi paused for a moment, then said, "I'll transfer the money to you, you can buy it yourself."
"Hiccup...Are you...?"
Fang Zhiyi hung up the phone, took out his phone and transferred all the remaining money. He rummaged through his pockets and found that he had five yuan left over from working a few days ago. He found a small shop, bought a five-yuan bottle of cheap liquor, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. Then he walked firmly toward the cross-river bridge.
At the bridgehead, he met an older woman sitting by the roadside crying. Fang Zhiyi went up to ask her what had happened. The woman said that she had come to find her relatives, but she had lost the address and her wallet, and now she had nowhere to go.
Fang Zhiyi offered a few words of comfort and then handed her his old phone.
"If you don't mind, you can take it."
The woman expressed her gratitude, but Fang Zhiyi waved and continued walking.
He offered his last act of kindness to a stranger, then found a spot and jumped into the river.
"Hmm..." Fang Zhiyi touched her chin, "That's it?"
Xiao Hei nodded: "Otherwise what?"
"What happened next? Shouldn't that woman have died from a relapse of her old illness?"
Xiao Hei shrugged: "Do you think this is a movie, with this talk of karma? She lived a peaceful life and even gave birth to two sons for Zhou Kai."
