Inside, springtime was in full bloom when Lin Xiao's phone on the sofa buzzed with a message from Yang Xile, who had returned home to Paris.
He wrote:
I think God may have forgiven me, because He allowed me to brave the wind and snow and finally drive my beat-up car home safely without any accidents.
Even if God has forgiven me, I still don't know when you will forgive me for the harm my actions have caused you, perhaps never. But that's okay, because this is what I deserve.
Sister Lin Xiao, Brother-in-law Chang Feng, I sincerely apologize to you and wish you happiness. I hope that one day, after I have forgiven myself, I too can have my own happiness.
P.S.: Sister, you don't owe me any money anymore, only a debt of gratitude. So please stop thinking about paying me back.
My brother-in-law has already repaid the loan I made to Uncle Lin using his savings. Don't scold me for finally showing my businessman's true colors; I am a businessman by nature. Since your future husband is also someone who is not short of money, there is absolutely no reason for me to spend money on someone else's wife.
Finally, I wish you happiness and sweetness, a baby soon, and that your brother-in-law's career will continue to flourish. P.S.: I wonder if all the fans will leave after you have a baby, haha.

Yang Xile could communicate in Chinese without any problems, but he wasn't very good at writing, since he had gone abroad to study in junior high school. So, he spent several days crafting this text message, and in the end, he wrote a rather awkward and nonsensical apology letter with a blessing.
Two months later, Lin's father was released from prison, and Lin Xiao returned to China, all before the Spring Festival. The family was finally able to reunite and spend a peaceful and happy Spring Festival together.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Lin received a registered letter addressed to him for signature. He found it strange and only opened it after taking it to his study.
Inside was a letter, a French contract, and a piece of paper that looked like a certificate.
The letter was written by Yang Xile:
Uncle Lin:
First of all, congratulations on getting out of trouble. You should have received this letter on the third day of the Lunar New Year, by which time you should have already gone home for the holiday. I specifically requested that this registered letter be delivered on time because I was worried that someone else might sign for it.
There is a French purchase contract and the property certificate for the Paris apartment that Sister Lin Xiao bought.
Your precious daughter is very naive. In her haste to raise money to pay the fine so that you could have your sentence reduced, she signed a contract without fully understanding what was going on and sold the house you had carefully chosen for her in Paris. I'm sure you didn't know at the time, and if you had, you certainly wouldn't have agreed to it.
Coincidentally, the person buying the house was my friend, who was also a bit of a scatterbrain. The contract was completely invalid, and no subsequent property transfer was made. At the time, I had someone lie to Sister Lin Xiao, saying that signing the contract and receiving the payment meant the transfer was complete. She was extremely anxious about your situation and didn't investigate the details.
Therefore, this apartment still belongs to Lin Xiao, both now and in the future, in every respect. Please keep the property deed for her safe. Lin Xiao is very meticulous, and I'm afraid she won't accept it if I send it directly to her, or she might blame me for having someone impersonate her to buy the apartment.
I'm currently busy with my studies. My dad says he'll send me to Africa after I graduate because he wants to organize some kind of "African steelmaking" project there. Neither my older brother nor sister wants to do it, so this lousy job fell to me. As a result, I may have had fewer opportunities to visit you and Sister Lin Xiao in the next two years.
I studied in China until I was 13 before going abroad, so my Chinese is limited and this letter is a bit messy. But I'm sure you'll be able to understand it, since we hit it off immediately! I miss you so much!
Wishing you and your family happiness and a joyous Chinese New Year!
