He himself lacks assertiveness, there's really nothing we can do.
After hearing Zheng Heping's words, Old Mrs. Zheng collapsed to the ground, pounding her thighs with her hands and crying, "Why is my life so miserable? You old man, it's all your fault! If you hadn't left so early, why would I have done those things just to hold my head high in the village? If I hadn't done those things, our son wouldn't have been violated. My life, why is it so miserable..."
People come and go in the hospital, everyone is in a hurry, and apart from the occasional stolen or curious glance, they don't stop for even a moment.
Jiang Moli only learned about Zheng Heping and his mother later from her former neighbors.
It is said that Zheng Heping's homosexuality was exposed by the wife of one of his many boyfriends at his workplace. There are photos and videos as evidence, so it would be difficult for Zheng Heping to deny it even if he wanted to.
If Zheng Heping were just working in a regular company, his sexual orientation and hobbies would be his own private matters. But he doesn't work in a regular company; he's a public official.
The incident escalated significantly, and the leadership not only criticized Zheng Heping but also issued him a warning.
Zheng Heping had become arrogant over the years, and he was unwilling to accept a warning and punishment. In a fit of anger, he proposed to resign from his public office.
Little did he know that his superiors were more than happy with his decision; his resignation was approved the very next minute after he submitted it.
Zheng Heping originally intended to retreat in order to advance, but he did not expect it to backfire and leave him with no way out.
Old Mrs. Zheng had been strong-willed all her life, and she resolutely took Zheng Heping back to her hometown.
According to that gossipy neighbor, the Zheng family mother and son were not well-liked by the villagers. In addition, Zheng Heping divorced his mistress, whom he had only married a short time ago, and as the party at fault, he paid a lot of money in compensation. He had almost no savings, so the mother and son could only rent a small house in their town to make a living.
Jiang Moli listened without responding.
In her view, Zheng Heping is a thing of the past. She is so happy now, and there is no need to trample on Zheng Heping's misfortune for her own happiness.
A major event also occurred in City X: Du Fangyun's powerful backer, a leader surnamed Tian, fell from grace, and Fang Min filed for divorce from Du Fangyun at this time.
Du Fangyun naturally refused, because she knew very well that with Leader Tian gone, only by binding Fang Min could she continue to be the official's wife.
It's true that man proposes, God disposes. Fang Min saw that she disagreed and didn't bother to argue with her anymore, so she filed a lawsuit directly.
The evidence he provided, that Fang Wei was not his biological son, was enough for the court to grant him a divorce from Du Fangyun. Moreover, Du Fangyun was the party at fault, not to mention that Fang Wei had a criminal record and she was also charged with harboring a criminal.
Without the protection of his biological father, Leader Tian, Fang Wei was quickly found by the group in Southeast Asia, and he was never seen again until Du Fangyun passed away.
Although Du Fangyun never said it, she knew very well that her only son in her life was probably already dead.
After handling her family affairs, especially after divorcing Du Fangyun, Fang Min went to City B.
Fang Min didn't arrive in B City empty-handed; instead, she brought Xu Moran a gift. It was said to be a bracelet that Xiao Anhe's mother had loved most when she passed away. The jade was of excellent quality, clearly an old piece of jade, and was very valuable.
Xu Moran was terrified, afraid of breaking it, and hesitated to reach out to take it. On the contrary, Xiao Anhe took it generously and put it directly into Xu Moran's hand without caring whether she wanted to or not.
Sometimes, Xiao Anhe is just that chauvinistic, and Xu Moran can't do anything about it.
Fang Min traveled all the way to B City, and it certainly wasn't just to give Xu Moran a bracelet; he had something to say to Xiao Anhe.
Xu Moran wanted to avoid the topic, but Xiao Anhe grabbed her arm and said softly, "Ranran, you are my wife, and I have no secrets from you."
I don't want to have any secrets.
Xu Moran glanced at Fang Min a little embarrassed, and Fang Min returned her a look that was typical of an elder who genuinely liked and loved a younger person.
Xu Moran sat down next to Xiao Anhe with a sense of peace.
It's outrageous, truly outrageous. She realized that her past twenty-five years had been far too uneventful; otherwise, why would she be facing one shocking event after another?
It turns out that Fang Min knew all along that this Xiao Qinghan was not the same Xiao Qinghan. In order to use the Xiao family's wealth to help him go further and more smoothly in his career, he went against his conscience and covered up everything.
Fang Min came to apologize to Xiao Anhe.
Xiao Anhe generously chose to forgive, and just as Fang Min breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Xiao Anhe say again: "Anyway, without your protection back then, I wouldn't be alive today. If I really want to say something, I should thank you, Grandpa."
Fang Min felt a pang of sadness when Xiao Anhe called out "Grandpa." He had only just realized what was most important in life at his age, but it was all too late.
Xiao Anhe finally got his wish and married Xu Momo. That very afternoon, someone appeared at the suburban cemetery.
This hunched-over man, so old he seemed unable to even walk, was none other than the deputy...
The past is like a mottled old wall; the slightest touch reveals the dust of decay and desolation. No matter how sad you are, what can you do?
She reached out her finger, trembling visibly, and gently touched the tombstone, where her husband, who had passed away many years ago, lay. They had one child together.
She was a very well-behaved and lovely girl, embodying all the best qualities of both him and her.
Ultimately, she failed to protect her, and even sent the child she gave birth to to an orphanage in pursuit of power.
Even if she had tried to redeem him years ago, what difference would it have made?
The time that has been missed can never be returned.
She's the one who's pathetic and laughable!
She gazed intently at the cold tombstone, recalling the words that the once vibrant and handsome man had told her years ago: "I know you've never had me in your heart. In the next life, I will make sure we become old friends again!"
Even after a long separation, we remain as close as strangers; even a casual acquaintance feels like an old friend.
I wish there really was an afterlife;
May we be husband and wife in our next life, and stay together in love forever.
She pressed her forehead against the monument, and in an instant, tears streamed down her face...
Who says the vice president... has never loved in her life? She has loved deeply, but her heart was blinded.
“Jianguo.” She looked at the photo on the tombstone mountain with deep affection and said tenderly, “It’s alright. Our granddaughter, she’s grown up very well. I may be able to become a great-grandmother in this lifetime and then go to the underworld to reunite with you.”
The wind is just right, the flowers are in full bloom, everything is so beautiful.
May all lovers in the world be united in marriage, and may all their wishes be fulfilled in their lifetime. (The End)
