As Wu Zhenyuan flipped through the yellowed and slightly musty notebook, the familiar handwriting seemed to be transformed from He Qingjie's very essence, making him vaguely smell He Qingjie's unique fragrance through the words.
Page 1: [Today is my birthday. Zhenyuan gave me a beautiful diary. I've decided to use it to record my love for him. I want to record every touching moment I spend with him...]
Page 17: [We had a fight today. I've never felt that our relationship should be measured by money. Is money more important to him than me? This question is causing me immense pain.]
The hotel staff saw He Qiangwei pay the bill at the front desk and then leave, assuming that all the guests in the private room had left.
She thought she would go in and clean, but as soon as she opened the door, she realized she had made a mistake.
The atmosphere in the private room was very oppressive. She saw a middle-aged man crying dejectedly, staring at a yellowed notebook.
The staff were startled.
"Sorry to bother you!"
The staff member seemed a little embarrassed and quickly apologized, then closed the door again and thoughtfully hung a sign on the doorknob.
Do Not Disturb!
At this moment, Wu Zhenyuan had already read page twenty-five: [Zhenyuan, I've decided to leave you. I know the pain in your heart, I know you've always wanted to realize your life's ideals. My presence here will only be a burden to you. Goodbye...]
Page 37: [Today is his wedding day. Although his wife is divorced and has a son, she is so beautiful. When I saw the news in the newspaper, I knew I had to give up completely...]
Page 40: [I'm pregnant! I went to the hospital today to have an abortion, but when the doctor asked if I was sure I wanted to, I softened and decided to give birth...]
Page 50: [To support Rose, I'm willing to endure any hardship. I had no choice but to marry a man, bringing my young daughter with me. Perhaps it's divine punishment, but my husband loves to drink. Whenever he's drunk, he beats and kicks me. I don't mind suffering, as long as my daughter isn't harmed, I can endure anything...]
......
Last page: [I have cancer. I can no longer protect my daughter. For so many years, she has never known her true parentage. I saved some money for her and left her a letter. This man, whom Rose believes to be her biological father, I absolutely cannot let him live. Otherwise, he will surely drag my daughter into a deep abyss. I have decided to die with him...]
Seeing this, Wu Zhenyuan was filled with guilt. The one who had just left was his own daughter, the child who had suffered so much outside. Thinking about what the mother and daughter had gone through, Wu Zhenyuan wished he could stab himself in the heart.
He Qiangwei knew in her heart that as long as Wu Zhenyuan saw this notebook, he would definitely feel guilty towards her.
He Qiangwei, who had already returned to school, happened to see Shi Zhan, Wu Youyou, Liu Xiaolan, Yang Min, Song Shaojie and others coming out of the library when she passed by it.
I wondered, how did they end up together?
Seeing that Liu Xiaolan and the others had all left, only Shi Zhan and Wu Youyou remained.
He Qiangwei hid in a corner, pricking up her ears, wanting to hear what the two of them would say.
At this moment, Wu Youyou's performance after a night of review, including her final grades and the extra time Shi Zhan mentioned for the extra lessons, all satisfied Shi Zhan.
Under the nightlight, Shi Zhan looked incredibly handsome and mysterious. He gazed leisurely into Wu Youyou's eyes.
"That's good progress. I believe that if you continue like this, getting into your ideal university won't be difficult!"
Wu Youyou lowered her eyes slightly, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes with both hands, and slowly said,
"Shi Zhan, my phone died today, so I didn't answer your call right away. When I found out about what happened online, I was really nervous. I didn't know how to handle it, and I didn't have the courage to call you back. I know that you helped clear up these rumors, and I'm really grateful to you!"
Wu Youyou looked up at Shi Zhan and said sincerely, "Thank you!"
Shi Zhan looked at Wu Youyou's grateful eyes, and a hint of anger flickered between his brows.
"Youyou, I don't want your thanks. I'm not angry because you didn't answer my calls."
Wu Youyou looked at Shi Zhan blankly for a moment.
He Qiangwei was shocked to hear from the corner that Shi Zhan had helped her resolve the issues online.
What kind of power does she possess to suppress all public opinion in such a short time? Even the Wu Group, which she knew well, did not have this ability.
She looked at Shi Zhan in horror, then continued listening to their conversation.
After her initial confusion, Wu Youyou was puzzled. She couldn't understand why Shi Zhan was angry. He didn't want to thank her, didn't return her calls, and didn't seem to care.
She didn't understand and asked.
"Shi Zhan, could you please be more specific? What exactly is the reason for your inquiry?"
Shi Zhan closed his eyes slightly, holding his breath, unsure how to ask. After some thought, he opened his eyes and looked at Wu Youyou.
Do you remember what you promised me yesterday?
"I remember! What's wrong?"
Shi Zhan was so angry he almost vomited blood. If he remembered, why didn't he know where he went wrong?
He glared at Wu Youyou, his tone somewhat angry.
"Since you remember, why did you act so intimately with Wei Zhibin? You promised me that if you liked someone, you would tell me immediately. But is this how you promised me? Ah—"
