Su Xueli followed her words and said, "Yes, student days are the most memorable. At school, you either study or play."
"Oh, Second Aunt, I never expected you to look so quiet and dignified. You used to be such a lively student during breaks."
Auntie was immediately opened up and started sharing her happy student days with Su Xueli.
Su Xueli noticed that when her second aunt was talking about her childhood, there was a rekindled glimmer in her eyes, but before she could finish, the glimmer in her eyes suddenly dimmed, and she ended her recollection with a sigh.
Her heart was no longer troubled by that painful past... the flow was cut off.
Seeing the melancholy in her second aunt's eyes deepen, Su Xueli grasped her hand and whispered, "Second Aunt, you should forget about that person."
My second aunt was somewhat surprised. "You knew?"
Su Xueli said, "I heard from Ming Shen that everyone feels sorry for you."
My second aunt smiled sadly, "Everyone advises me to let go, saying I should let go. They don't know, it's because I simply can't let go. In this world, there's no medicine to heal heartbreak, no medicine to cure utter despair!"
Su Xueli sensed her sadness and her heart ached. She asked, "Second Aunt, do you still love that man?"
My aunt shook her head in anguish, “I don’t know if I still love him, but he’s like a stone weighing on my heart. I can’t move it away no matter what I do, and I can’t get rid of him no matter what I want to throw away.”
"Second Aunt, this is an obsession. In fact, he is no longer important to you. You just can't get over the hurdle of being abandoned by him back then."
Second Aunt stared into the void, remaining silent.
Su Xueli said, "Second Aunt, let go of this obsession, love yourself well from now on, open your heart, and welcome the wonderful things that belong to you."
The second aunt withdrew her wandering gaze, looked at Su Xueli's young and sincere face, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Daughter, I've already entered the second half of my life, what excitement is there left? It's just about wasting my life."
Suddenly, Su Xueli's eyes filled with tears. "Second Aunt, please don't say that. It hurts my heart so much... I want Second Aunt to live a vibrant life, not one where her heart is as still as water..."
Auntie panicked and quickly wiped away her tears to comfort her, "Xueli, good child, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly crying? You scared your auntie."
Su Xueli cried so hard that she poured out all the grievances she had suffered at Wei Mingshen's hands in her past life, and her second aunt couldn't comfort her no matter what she did.
Her second aunt hugged her, patted her back, and began to apologize, "It's all my fault for telling you that sad story that upset you. I'll never say it again, I'll never say it again."
Su Xueli shook her head desperately, "No, no, I feel sorry for my second aunt. I want her to completely forget that person and start her life anew. A woman's destiny should be in her own hands; we can't let a man ruin our lives."
Her second aunt held her still, her eyes reddening and tears streaming down her face. She murmured, "You're so right. We women are no longer men's appendages. Why are our hearts still imprisoned by men..."
Su Xueli looked up at her second aunt with hatred in her eyes and said, "Besides, he's a treacherous scumbag. It's a mistake to even know a man like that. Why should you still hold a grudge against him for half your life?"
Auntie's lips trembled like jelly, and tears streamed into her mouth. "Yes, yes, knowing him was a mistake, and falling in love with him was an even greater disaster..."
Su Xueli didn't return from her second aunt's house until dusk. As soon as she entered the house, Wei Mingshen, who had just woken up, could tell that she had been crying.
He stared at her and asked, "Are you crying?"
Su Xueli didn't want to talk to him, so she turned her face away and said, "No."
Wei Mingshen reached out and turned her body around, saying, "What exactly happened? Why are you hiding it from me?"
Su Xueli pushed him away, "Talk to Second Aunt about women's matters. By the way, we need to hurry up with our divorce, I... can't wait any longer."
