Inside lay a letter addressed to Tang Xiaobao himself.
Tang Xiaobao knew it was a letter written by Liu Qingqing just by looking at the handwriting. He was very familiar with it.
Tang Xiaobao opened the envelope, shook the letter, and began to read.
"Xiaobao, I'm leaving. Please don't come looking for me, because I really don't have the face to stay. For the past year, I have been feeling guilty. I'm sorry for you, I have low self-esteem. I'm a married woman, why should I pester you? You are so outstanding, and the girls around you are so outstanding too. I can't compare with them at all. You should have a better woman to accompany you... I used to think that as long as I didn't have a name, I could always be your woman, but I thought too simply. No matter how I deceived myself, others would still stab me in the back. After he came back, I felt even more depressed. Maybe I should leave and find a place where no one knows me. Fang, start a new life. Don't worry, I won't commit suicide. I will live well... Do you remember that night when I said I was in my safe period? I'm sorry, I lied to you. If I have a child, I will definitely raise him to adulthood. I will love him dearly, just like I love you, because that is the testimony of our love. He will always remind me that you once loved me deeply. Thank you, Xiaobao. One last thing, don't come looking for me. Give me a quiet environment. If you really love me, don't look for me... I don't need so much money as you gave me. I took some with me, which is enough for me to settle down. The rest, I put in the card, and I will return the card to you..."
There was also a card hidden inside the envelope.
Holding the card and reading the letter, Tang Xiaobao felt extremely guilty.
Maybe if I don’t go to Jiangnan City, Sister Qingqing won’t leave.
Maybe if I show more care, Sister Qingqing won't leave.
Maybe if I could understand her thoughts in time, she wouldn't leave.
Maybe I can take her to Yanjing and build a love nest for the two of us...
Maybe too much, but it's useless now.
Sister Qingqing is gone.
This is a fact and cannot be changed.
…
Tang Xiaobao didn't sleep well that night.
He did come downstairs at breakfast the next day.
Seeing that he had dark circles under his eyes, Tang Qingshan and his wife were very worried.
"Son, are you okay? Don't be sad or anxious. Qingqing is such a grown-up, she definitely won't get lost. Let's look for her slowly, and we will find her eventually." Tang Qingshan comforted Tang Xiaobao instead.
Wu Chunmei sighed and said, "You said they are orphans and widows, and there is so much chaos out there. What will they do if they have to endure hardship? I feel so bad."
"What are you talking about? There's no chaos outside. You're talking nonsense." Tang Qingshan glared at his wife.
Tang Xiaobao said, "Dad, Mom, let's not look for it yet."
"Ah? Not looking for it anymore? How can that be possible?" Wu Chunmei was anxious.
Tang Qingshan asked: "Did she contact you?"
Nodding, Tang Xiaobao said, "I found a letter in my room. It was left for me by Sister Qingqing. She's fine. She just wants to be alone for a while. Let's not disturb her for now. I believe she'll come back when she's figured it out. If that doesn't work out for a while, I'll go get her."
Wu Chunmei wanted to say something, but Tang Qingshan quickly said, "Don't say anything more about this. It's right to listen to Xiaobao. Qingqing has had a hard time too."
"Let's eat." Tang Xiaobao forced a smile: "I'm hungry."
While eating, Tang Qingshan asked, "By the way, is it time for you to start school?"
"Soon, I'll go in a few days." Tang Xiaobao said, "But I plan to take a leave of absence from school and then return to my hometown."
Wu Chunmei was anxious again: "Why do you want to take a leave of absence? You worked so hard to get into university, Yenching University, which is the best university in China. How can you take a leave of absence?"
"Can you please stop yelling and listen to Xiaobao? He always has his own reasons for doing anything." Tang Qingshan now listens to his son in everything.
Tang Xiaobao said, "Sister Qingqing is gone, and the family can't be left without someone to take care of them. I came back to take care of you two elders, and I can also help Sister Chen manage the company. I can't always tire her out. Also, I think our hometown is still quite poor, and I also want to see if there is any chance for me to do something for my hometown."
"I agree." Tang Qingshan said, "We are not old or over 70, so we don't need your care. But you can't throw everything to Xiao Shen. You have to help her share some of the work. In addition, now that Qingqing is gone, you have to take on the responsibility of the planting base. Although the boy from your uncle Li's family is also a college student, he has just taken on the position and doesn't understand many things. Someone needs to watch over him. Also, you are so successful now. If you have the chance, you should help the folks back home. Being rich alone is not considered rich. It is to help the people of a region become rich that is considered a talent."
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "Dad is still more aware."
For the next few days, Tang Xiaobao stayed in his hometown.
That day, Tang Xiaobao was preparing to go to Yanjing.
Of course, before that, he went to Bazhong and met with Shen Mengyao, telling her his idea, and the latter also supported his decision.
Both publicly and privately, Chen Mengyao welcomes Tang Xiaobao to stay in Bazhong for a long time.
Driving, Tang Xiaobao finally decided to go to Jiangnan City again.
He left in a hurry last time, and before leaving, he wanted to see Luoya.
I saved my first time for him.
But unfortunately, Luo Ya was not in Jiangnan City.
In the hotel, Tang Xiaobao hung up the phone, feeling a little depressed.
It turned out that just two days ago, Zheng Wen took Luo Ya on a trip to relax.
He said he was traveling, but he was probably avoiding marriage.
"You stay in the hotel for the next two days. I have something to do." Tang Xiaobao said to Wanru.
She seemed a little reluctant, but still agreed.
Tang Xiaobao felt embarrassed to keep such a beautiful girl around for a long time. He couldn't leave her behind because she was his woman and there was no reason to send her away. But if he kept her around, it would be hard to explain if someone asked him about it.
"Wanru, from now on, when you are outside, you will be my bodyguard. What do you think?" Tang Xiaobao asked tentatively.
Wanru said, "But Brother Tang, you are so powerful that you don't need me at all."
"It's just to deceive outsiders." Tang Xiaobao said.
Wanru said, "Okay then, I'll obey whatever Brother Tang says."
"Then you can call me boss in front of others. You can call me anything in private." Tang Xiaobao teased her deliberately: "You can call me husband."
"Wanru doesn't dare." Unexpectedly, Wanru waved her hands hurriedly: "Privately, I'd better call you Brother Tang."
"Okay, you wait for me at the hotel now. I'm going to do something. If I don't come back in the evening, you can go out to eat by yourself. Don't wait for me. Wait until I finish my business, then we'll go back to Yanjing together." Tang Xiaobao ordered.
Wanru said, "Okay, Brother Tang."
