Su Guifang said, "Xiao Fan, why don't you kneel down and admit your mistake?"
After hearing Su Guifang's words, Yi Xiaofan knelt down on both knees, tears welling in her eyes, and said, "In my whole life, I've only knelt before my mother and father, and of course, the law. Apart from those, I've never knelt before anyone else. If I have the chance, I will kneel down and apologize to Su Wei. I don't ask for your forgiveness, I only ask for your pardon."
Dong Qing said, "As long as you can change, that's fine. If you're a man, stand up right now. Kneeling like this makes me despise you even more."
Yi Xiaofan looked at Li Yuzhu, who said, "I hope you can change. Stand up."
Yi Xiaofan stood up, said thank you for your forgiveness, and then turned and left.
Dongqing said, "Come back and sit down."
Su Guifang pulled Yi Xiaofan back to the table and sat her down. Dong Qing said, "You should apologize to the woman you hurt tonight."
Dong Qing took out his mobile phone and dialed Chen Hong's number, telling him to bring his wife and children to the night market for dinner immediately.
Dong Qing ordered a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and some barbecue. He poured the baijiu into two glasses and said, "If you can turn over a new leaf, we'll let bygones be bygones. If you're willing to start anew, raise your glass. Otherwise, leave immediately. Hypocritical people don't deserve to drink with me."
Yi Xiaofan picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Dong Qing said, "I hope you didn't drink this glass of wine for nothing tonight."
Every word Dongqing spoke was filled with hope and encouragement, hoping that he could become a useful member of society.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Hong and his wife arrived on their bicycles. Su Wei, carrying her son, got off the bicycle. She didn't notice Yi Xiaofan and said with a smile, "Why didn't you call ahead before coming out for dinner? We just finished cooking. Remember to come to my house for the leftovers tomorrow."
In this situation, Dongqing wasn't in the mood for jokes. He said, "I didn't invite you here just for a meal; it's also to meet someone you know."
Yi Xiaofan left his seat and knelt before Su Wei. Only then did Su Wei notice Yi Xiaofan, and she said with tears in her eyes, "Get out of here! You have no right to kneel before me!"
Dongqing said, "Maybe he really has changed for the better this time, otherwise I wouldn't have called you over. Please give him another chance, okay?"
Su Wei said, "Let him kneel if he wants. I will not forgive him. He does not deserve my forgiveness."
Su Wei was almost killed by Yi Xiaofan a few years ago; no one would forgive him so quickly.
Li Yuzhu said, "Xiao Fan, to be honest, I can't forgive you either. Give Su Wei some time, and give us, your husband and I, some time too. Go see the movie by yourself. We'll have Sister Guifang come to the cinema to find you after we finish eating."
Su Guifang pulled Yi Xiaofan up from the ground, tears welling in her eyes, and said, "You made your own choice, you can't blame anyone else. Give me a ticket and let's go see the movie first. I'll come find you at the cinema later."
Yi Xiaofan took out a movie ticket, handed one to Su Guifang, apologized to the others, and turned to walk towards the movie theater.
Li Yuzhu said, "Sit down and eat."
Su Wei said, "Seeing this kind of scum makes me nauseous. What's the point of eating? I can't eat."
Chen Hong pulled his wife down to sit. He said, "I don't know what happened between you two in the past. If he's willing to repent, you should give him a chance."
With tears in her eyes, Su Wei said, "A leopard can't change its spots; I don't trust him."
After being persuaded by several people, Su Wei picked up a meat skewer and ate it, but the meal tasted bland.
Su Guifang ate a few skewers of meat, then said goodbye to the group and went to the theater to watch a movie.
She returned shortly afterward, and Li Yuzhu asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you back again?"
With tears in her eyes, Su Guifang said, "Yi Xiaofan isn't at the movie theater. Could he be thinking of doing something drastic?"
Su Wei said impatiently, "Don't worry, he won't die. He can only commit suicide if the sun and moon reverse."
Just then, a police car with its siren on drove by on the road in front of the night market, followed by an ambulance that stopped in front of a residential building not far from them.
Li Yuzhu said, "It couldn't be him..."
Su Wei said, "Do you believe it could be him? Don't worry, he doesn't have that ambition. If it is him, I'll forgive him."
Dong Qing said, "Wouldn't he know if he just took a look?"
After Dong Qing finished speaking, the group stood up and ran towards the accident site with the children. The barbecue owner shouted for money, but Dong Qing turned back and said, "Don't worry, I can't run away. I'll come back and pay you in a bit."
When the group arrived at the scene of the accident, they saw several nurses carrying a man toward an ambulance. The man was none other than Yi Xiaofan, who was covered in blood and must still be breathing, otherwise they wouldn't be rushing him to the ambulance.
Dong Qing inquired and learned that Yi Xiaofan had just jumped off the rooftop of the fourth floor of this residential building.
Su Guifang ran towards the stretcher, crying, but the police quickly stopped her. One policeman said, "You're his family member, right? He's still alive. Don't cause trouble. Go to the hospital with him."
Su Guifang nodded tearfully and got into the car on the stretcher. Dong Qing said, "Such a big thing happened, I've come to see for myself. You guys go back and have some food. I'll call you when I get to the hospital."
Su Wei really wanted to cry at this moment. Had she really pushed Yi Xiaofan to the brink of despair?
After Dong Qing and Su Guifang got into the ambulance, the back door closed, and it drove to the hospital with its siren blaring.
On Dongqing Road, they saw Yi Xiaofan clutching something in his right hand. They pried open his hand, took the thing out, and unfolded a folded piece of paper. It turned out to be a suicide note.
This is what the suicide note read;
Dong Qing, Li Yuzhu, Su Wei, by the time you read this letter, I will have already gone to another world. The three of you are the people I have wronged the most in my life. You should hate me. Today, I can only prove with my life that I have changed, but my repentance is too late. Farewell to those I have hurt.
The last words of Yi Xiaofan, the scum in your hearts;
The suicide note was very simple, but it completely revealed his feelings at the time.
Dong Qing, holding Yi Xiaofan's hand with tears in his eyes, said, "Xiaofan, if you're a real man, you must live. Don't let me look down on you."
Dong Qing never imagined that she would shed tears for a scumbag who had once harmed her.
Dongqing didn't know if her tears were for forgiveness or for worry about his dying breath.
The biggest concern is probably that Yi Xiaofan is a living, breathing human being. After all, what is there that cannot be forgiven for someone who has come to this point?
Dong Qing asked the doctor which hospital to go to, and the doctor said the Second People's Hospital. He then took out his mobile phone and connected to the company's switchboard, saying, "Transfer me to Yi Minghui, the factory director of the machinery plant."
Yi Minghui is the factory manager of a machinery factory, and his home also receives the company's internal phone line.
The call connected quickly, and Yi Minghui's voice came through immediately. He said, "This is Yi Minghui."
"Director Yi, this is Dong Qing. Go to the Second People's Hospital immediately."
Yi Minghui said, "I heard an ambulance siren. Who's sick?"
Dong Qing said, "I can't explain it clearly to you over the phone, you should go quickly."
Dong Qing hung up the phone after speaking.
Upon arriving at the hospital, the nurses took Yi Xiaofan directly into the operating room, and Dong Qing went to the cashier to pay the two thousand yuan surgery fee for him.
