He was nervous, frightened, and uneasy, afraid that one day she would grow up and leave him.
So he separated her from the network of contacts she had worked so hard to build.
Finally, he is the only one in her world again. How great!
But why, why did she want to escape? Was he not good to her?
"Xie Zheng" never expected that "Wang Cuilan" would choose to commit suicide in order to leave him.
She also didn't expect that her son, who had never been close to her, would ask the old man to force him to agree to a divorce for her.
They finally divorced, and on the day of the divorce she wore a bright red dress, looking very beautiful.
After getting the marriage certificate, she walked away from his sight step by step in a graceful manner.
They didn't see each other again for two years, but news about her kept coming in piles.
He peeped into her daily life like a voyeur.
He knew that she went to Guangcheng after leaving him, that she was happy every day with her family by her side, and that... she had started dating a boyfriend.
Shopping, watching movies, traveling, hugging...
She and her boyfriend did everything that young couples would do.
"Xie Zheng" was extremely jealous, but he never missed any news about her, no matter how busy he was.
"Xie Zheng" thought that this kind of life would continue for another year or two, and would only end when he took complete power and won her back.
But I didn't expect the accident to come so suddenly.
At two o'clock in the morning on August 20, 1998, "Xie Zheng" had just fallen asleep when an urgent phone call woke him up.
After the call was connected, a hoarse young voice came from the other end: "Dad, Mom is sick and in the hospital. The doctor said... Please come over when you have time."
Xie Zheng's mind went blank. His hand holding the phone trembled slightly, but his voice was stern: "Xie Jinqian! No matter how dissatisfied you are with me, there should be a limit to joking. She is your biological mother!"
Yes! That’s the boy’s biological mother. How could he make fun of her again?
Even though he was unwilling to believe it, "Xie Zheng" still headed to Guangcheng as quickly as possible.
Two years later, "Xie Zheng" met his "wife" again. She was still beautiful, but had lost much of her vitality.
Lying there quietly like Sleeping Beauty.
"Xie Zheng" controlled his trembling hands and calmly picked up the phone to contact medical experts at home and abroad.
They used bribes and threats to get them to treat "Wang Cuilan".
In the end, it only allowed "Wang Cuilan" to live two more months.
On the afternoon of October 20, 1998, "Wang Cuilan" lowered her hands in "Xie Zheng's" arms.
He died at the age of forty.
On October 25, 1998, after the memorial service ended, "Xie Zheng" vomited blood and fell into a coma.
I woke up a week later and haven’t been feeling well since.
After five years of ups and downs, "Xie Zheng" fell into eternal sleep on the night of the full moon of Xie Jinqian's first child.
When he left, he was wearing the clothes he wore on his wedding day with "Wang Cuilan" and holding the family photo taken that day in his arms.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he was in a sweet dream from which he did not want to wake up. (End)
