After reading only two lines, Xia Xi knew that this was her grandmother's suicide note.
She thought her grandmother passed away suddenly, but it turned out that she had a premonition.
"I don't know who found this letter first. I guess it was Xixi. Don't blame me if I'm wrong. This letter is written to all of you.
"A few days ago, I dreamed of my deceased old man. I used to call him old man, but he was actually very young when he passed away, not old at all. In my dream, I was buying braised vegetables in a small shop, and he came to the window and asked me why I hadn't come to see him yet. His legs were sore from waiting. He was just like I remembered him, with some spoiled braised tendencies, picky about this and that, but very kind to me. I dreamed of him several more times afterwards, and each time he was waiting for me. I think the day I go to see him is not far off.
"Don't be sad. This day will come to everyone. No matter whether you are poor or rich, whether your life is hard or happy, you cannot escape death. So, don't be sad. Only when you are all well can I leave without worries.
"Jinru never mentioned it, but I know she's been living with guilt all these years. She blamed herself for all the mistakes Xia Chenggang made, which is wrong. Jinru, you need to be more open-minded. You're also a victim. Xia Chenggang's guilt has nothing to do with you. As a mother, I've never blamed you, and Xixi and the others don't blame you either. So don't torture yourself. You need to take good care of yourself so that you can be with your children longer.
"I don't know if I can wait until Xiaoyue is released from prison. If I can, I want to say these words to her in person. If not, it will be the same for her when she reads this letter. Xiaoyue, people should look forward. This is not just talk. You are only 35 years old, very young, with a long life ahead of you, and countless possibilities. Since you have already paid the price for what you did wrong, learn to let it go, let it go completely, and don't regret or complain anymore. Whether for yourself or for Youyou, you should cheer up and embrace a new life. Grandma didn't read much, and she doesn't have great wisdom. She can only tell you some simple truths.
"Xixi, I don't know what to say to Xixi. She is the most opinionated one in our family. She has always been very logical and reasonable. Most people can't argue with her, and she doesn't want to listen to ordinary words—"
After reading this, Xia Xi couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. The joy at this moment overshadowed the sadness.
She continued to read.
"Speaking of Xixi, I always feel that I owe her a lot. When the accident happened at home, she was still so young, in her early twenties, and hadn't even left the school gate. I didn't know she would have such a big idea. If I had known earlier, I would have stopped her. No matter how difficult the hurdle is, it will pass if you persevere. She shouldn't have to bear it all alone. She sacrificed too much, and I always wanted to make up for it, but I was powerless. Xixi, Xixi, grandma hopes that you won't be so strong-willed, and follow your heart to do what you want to do, not what you should do. Sometimes, the turning point of things is just a matter of your thoughts. Grandma doesn't want you to always be sober and rational, that would be too tiring. It would be great to have a shoulder for you to lean on.
"Finally, there's Xiaoxuan. Although Xiaoxuan has been under our care since she was little, she's also suffered a lot, both physically and mentally. She's endured several major surgeries at such a young age, narrowly escaping death. She couldn't touch anything other children could play with or eat, and it's hard not to feel bad. Even after getting married, in my eyes, your mother's, and your sisters' eyes, you're still a child who needs care. Xiaoxuan, you have to love yourself. Nothing is more important than your own health.
"In my life, I've weathered many hardships and enjoyed peace and quiet. It's all worth it.
"I have said everything that needs to be said. If there is anything to add later, I will add it.
"Jiang Peishan stayed."
With a "plop" sound, tears fell on the paper, wetting a round dark mark and spreading the ink. Xia Xi hurriedly wiped it with her hand. Others had not read her grandmother's suicide note yet, and she couldn't destroy it.
After wiping the letter, she wiped her face. If her tears hadn't fallen on the paper, she wouldn't have realized she was crying.
Grandma said that her life was worth it and we shouldn’t feel sad for her, and she should be obedient.

After the Spring Festival holiday, the company ushered in a new look. As the news of the cooperation with Xu spread widely, many projects came to us, including home decoration and industrial decoration, and everyone became busy.
Xia Xi has been busy during the holidays, and will be even busier after the holidays.
At 9:15, Huang Shiyu knocked on Xia Xi's office door and went in to remind her: "Sister Xi, we have to go to Xu's headquarters at 10:30." In order to avoid traffic jams, they had to set off now.
Xia Xi held a pencil in his hand and placed the end of the pencil against his brow.
She had read all the suggestions Huang Shiyu had given her before and had made the revisions. She had to give them for feedback today and only proceed to the next step if there were no problems. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to make adjustments after construction started.
She could refuse to talk to Xu Yanfeng in private, but it was inevitable at work. This was something she had anticipated from the beginning.
"Then let's go."
Xia Xi threw down her pen, stood up with her hands on the table, gathered her things, put them in her bag, put on some simple makeup, and walked out of the office.
Huang Shiyu drove for her. Fortunately, there was no traffic congestion on the road and there were few red lights. Half an hour later, they saw the towering office building of Xu Group.
Xia Xi squinted at the light reflected on the blue glass and suddenly said, "We're here early, let's find a place to have a cup of coffee first."
"……OK."
Huang Shiyu stopped by the roadside.
Xia Xi got out of the car and walked into a coffee shop, and Huang Shiyu followed.
At the counter, Xia Xi ordered an iced Americano. She needed to refresh herself so she could get into battle mode. She turned around and asked Huang Shiyu, "What would you like to drink?"
"Cinnamon apple latte." Huang Shiyu said what he wanted to drink, paused, and added, "Is it okay for you to drink ice? Your stomach seems to be not feeling well."
