Qiao Muzhi: "..." So annoyed.
This woman is incredibly greedy!
Qiao Muzhi gritted his teeth and clumsily picked up a tissue and shoved it into Qin Wan's face...
Qin Wan hugged her knees, lowered her head, and continued to cry. She neither struggled nor resisted his rough actions, nor did she refuse them.
At first, Qiao Muzhi was still a little depressed and irritable.
As they wiped, they saw Qin Wan crying more and more fiercely, her tears seeming endless.
Seeing this, Qiao Muzhi paused in his actions, his expression growing increasingly serious as he stared at Qin Wan…
Letting her cry like this isn't a solution!
Or should we just shove all the tissues into her face?
Will she cry even harder then?
...
Qiao Muzhi was filled with a myriad of thoughts, deeply troubled and conflicted.
Just then, Qin Wan finally reacted.
She handed the phone to Qiao Muzhi, and after seeing the content on the screen, Qiao Muzhi's pupils contracted sharply.
Wan'er, Mom and Dad miss you so much...
Who the hell made this?
I am a sinner...
Mingchen...
These keywords instantly appeared in Qiao Muzhi's mind.
He grabbed Qin Wan's hand, his gaze grave. "Mingchen did it, didn't he?"
Under his gaze, Qin Wan nodded with pain in her eyes.
"Except for him..."
"No one else knows..." Qin Wan murmured softly.
What do you know?
Qiao Muzhi was taken aback.
"Qin Wan, tell me, what exactly does that nickname you used in the live stream mean?" Qiao Muzhi asked in a deep voice.
Strangely, instead of letting go of Qin Wan's hand, he tightened his grip, as if trying to silently give her strength in this way.
"My parents..."
"It's because of me..."
"That car accident was because of me..."
Qin Wan spoke incoherently, her already surging tears becoming even more intense.
She kept crying and sobbing, her tears flowing like a tap that had no switch.
Qiao Muzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly tightened his grip on Qin Wan's hand.
But he still didn't let go of her hand, nor did he show any "fear" or suspicion.
Because he trusted Qin Wan.
I believe that the culprit she referred to wasn't what she meant.
If the car accident was truly intentional on her part, she wouldn't have given herself such a nickname, nor would she have suffered from severe depression and repeatedly self-harmed or attempted suicide because of it.
"Tell me slowly."
Compared to his previous rough actions, Qiao Muzhi was incredibly gentle at this moment.
He gently wiped away Qin Wan's tears, tightening his grip on her hand to give her strength.
Originally, he deliberately kept his distance from Qin Wan, controlling himself from getting too close to her.
As soon as Qin Wan said those words, Qiao Muzhi subtly moved to sit closer to her.
"The day of the car accident was my birthday..."
"My parents came back to celebrate my birthday..."
"I kept sending them messages and calling them to ask when they would be back..."
"I was talking to my mom when the car accident happened..."
"I heard everything..."
"My parents were comforting me in my final moments..."
As she spoke, Qin Wan hugged her knees, her body trembling uncontrollably.
"It was clearly my fault that they were ruined..."
"It's my fault that they're in trouble..."
"But they comforted me until their dying breath..."
"They're all comforting me..."
Qin Wan clutched her head in her hands, clutching her hair in anguish, as all the most pent-up emotions from the original owner's heart erupted at that moment.
"It was clearly my fault that they were ruined..."
"It's all my fault..."
Noticing Qin Wan's increasingly out-of-control emotions, Qiao Muzhi quickly grabbed her hand to stop her from engaging in near-self-harm.
Qin Wan struggled incessantly, trying to push him away.
Seeing this, Qiao Muzhi's last bit of hesitation vanished, and he reached out to pull Qin Wan into his arms...
"It's not your fault."
"It was all an accident."
Nobody wants a car accident to happen.
"And the person you're talking to on the phone is your aunt, while the person driving is your uncle."
Even if... even if you are partly to blame, the real problem doesn't lie with you.
"The police will also investigate after the car accident."
"Do you remember what the investigation results said?"
Although he and Qin Wan were deskmates, and although he knew about what happened in Qin Wan's family through their classmates, he didn't really look into it.
He didn't know the exact time or cause of the accident.
“Yes, it’s the truck driver’s fatigue…” Qin Wan’s voice rang out, trembling with tears.
"But, but if they hadn't been calling me, my parents wouldn't have been in such a hurry to come back, and they might not have run into that truck."
“If he hadn’t been on the phone with me, Dad might have been able to avoid that truck that suddenly crashed into him…”
“If it weren’t for celebrating my birthday, they wouldn’t have even come back that day, and none of this would have happened…”
As she spoke, Qin Wan began to torment herself again.
The emotions belonging to the original owner fell into extreme self-blame and hatred.
The original owner hated himself.
I hate my own existence.
She felt that the car accident that killed Qin's parents was because of her.
So after Qin's parents left, the original owner of this body harmed herself and committed suicide...
If the family's housekeeper hadn't discovered her in time, she probably wouldn't be here today.
The aunt discovered it, called the police, and took her to the hospital.
It was only after her aunt's persuasion and the hospital's advice that the original owner accepted treatment from a psychologist.
Later, the aunt had to leave early because of some matters in her hometown, and the original owner agreed.
After that, the original owner did not hire a housekeeper again, but instead found a housekeeping company to have hourly workers come to clean and tidy up the house.
Later, the original owner harmed himself several more times...
However, the original owner of this body had already met Mingchen.
With Mingchen's companionship and guidance, the original owner's condition gradually improved, and her attention was diverted.
She stayed up late watching Mingchen's live stream, showering him with gifts in an attempt to express her gratitude.
Mingchen spent every day with her, comforting and guiding her, saying that Qin's parents loved the original owner so much that they must want her to live a good life.
She also said that Qin's parents definitely didn't blame her...
I might even feel sad and heartbroken because of her self-harm...
Aside from live stream time, Mingchen was always connected with the original owner via video call.
Besides cultivating the relationship with the original owner, it was also to prevent the original owner from overthinking when alone and doing anything that might harm herself.
It must be said that Mingchen is indeed greedy for money.
He may not have had pure motives towards the original owner, but he did help her.
If Mingchen had any bottom line...
Perhaps the original owner of this body never hated or resented him at all...
Unfortunately, Mingchen was blinded by greed and insisted on meeting the original owner of the body in real life, coveting even more...
He married the original owner of the body and then cheated on her, hurting her in the process.
They secretly plotted to transfer the original owner's property, threatened the original owner with private photos, and ultimately caused the original owner to have a mental breakdown and commit suicide by jumping off a building...
Even after the original owner's death, he used the original owner's suicide to create a persona of a "devoted husband" for himself...
Thinking of these things, Qin Wan's eyes darkened.
