She held her breath at the first line. [If the sky is dark, then I’ll live in the dark. But believe that at the end of the darkness is light. When the dark night is over, it’ll be dawn.]

Wasn’t this what she wrote herself?

She immediately read the rest of the letter and realized that apart from the difference in handwriting, the contents were almost identical to the letter she had written to Shen Mubei a long time ago.

After reading one letter, she looked at the others. She grabbed the others and opened them one by one. She picked them up and scanned the contents.

Almost at a glance, she knew that she had written them.

It was the same with all the letters.

She held her breath as tears gathered in her eyes. She wanted to laugh, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn’t help but cry.

At that time, something had happened to Shen Mubei’s family. He was locked up at home because of his leg injury. Xiao Qing did not know what he was thinking, but she knew that that period of time would definitely not be easy for him.

However, although she and Shen Mubei could be considered acquaintances, they had not even talked much. Most of the time, they only met at business galas of the two families. They did not have much of a relations.h.i.+p.

Many times, she would secretly stand in a corner and watch him talk and laugh with other women.

He was a few years older than her and already looked very mature. She wasn’t even a grown up yet. She was worlds apart from those mature and independent women who could stand by his side and chat with him.

Hence, she secretly wrote letters to him, wanting to know if he was okay. It didn’t matter if he replied or not. She hoped that these letters would bring him some warmth.

However, he didn’t even reply once.

Even so, Xiao Qing insisted on sending him letters for half a year.

Later on, after Shen Mubei’s leg recovered, he took on the Shen family’s business. He became busier and more mature. Xiao Qing didn’t send any more letters and just kept them in her drawer.

She had always thought that he might not have seen the letters at all, or that he would not have cared much even if he had read them.

However, the truth was that the letters had accompanied him for a very, very long time. It was because of her letters that he managed to walk through the haze until the sky and air were clear.

Xiao Qing finally couldn’t help but cry.

Tears kept welling up in her eyes.

When she heard the phone ring, she touched it. With tears in her eyes, she saw Qiao Weiyang’s name and picked it up. “Weiyang…”

Her cries frightened Qiao Weiyang.

“What’s wrong, Qing Qing? Where are you? What happened?”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I just…” Xiao Qing wiped her tears. “If you’re free, let’s meet.”

“I’m free, but are you really okay now?”

“Yes, I’m really fine. Let’s meet at the cafe we often go to later.” Qiao Weiyang quickly drove over, feeling a little anxious.

Xiao Qing’s cries just now had indeed worried her.

Thinking of Zhao Xinshu’s Weibo post, Qiao Weiyang’s mood became even more solemn.

She hurriedly pushed the door open and entered. She saw Xiao Qing waving at her from the corner.

Xiao Qing’s eyes were red, and so was her nose. It was obvious that she had been crying for a long time.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Weiyang sat over. “Why are you crying so badly?” “I’m happy.” Xiao Qing rubbed her eyes. “I saw a lot of things just now.”

She pushed the letters she had casually taken out in front of Qiao Weiyang.

Qiao Weiyang opened one suspiciously and asked with uncertainty, “This seems to be your early style, but the handwriting doesn’t look like yours.

What’s going on?”

“I wrote these letters, but the handwriting should be Zhao Xinshu’s.”

She only explained briefly, but with Qiao Weiyang’s familiarity with her and her understanding of what had happened back then, Qiao Weiyang understood her hidden meaning almost immediately.

“So, Zhao Xinshu copied your letters and gave them to Shen Mubei?”

“Yes. On the day Zhao Xinshu deliberately provoked me and made that post that got on the trending searches on Weibo, Shen Mubei told me that he was very depressed for a long time. It was Zhao Xinshu’s words that comforted him.

I didn’t think too much about it before. I only saw these letters today.”

Xiao Qing’s eyes lit up with excitement. “He was encouraged by the contents of the letters, but he didn’t like Zhao Xinshu, so he just tried to see if he would grow to like her and gave her a chance.”

Qiao Weiyang nodded. “Actually, I’ve long realized that there was something wrong with him when he was with Zhao Xinshu. Although he granted every one of Zhao Xinshu’s requests, he didn’t show much personal feelings for her.”

In retrospect, her intuition was not wrong.

Xiao Qing grabbed Qiao Weiyang’s hand. “That’s not important. What’s important is that I’ve always existed by his side. I was the one who encouraged him and accompanied him through that very difficult period. It was me, wasn’t

Qiao Weiyang couldn’t help but follow her train of thought. Xiao Qing was excited again. “It was you, which is why Shen Mubei didn’t fall in love with Zhao Xinshu. It’s very simple. She just doesn’t look like she could write those letters. She only obtained Shen Mubei’s favor through opportunism.”

Xiao Qing smiled relaxedly. She held her coffee cup and said, “I finally don’t

have to feel sorry for Zhao Xinshu anymore. To h.e.l.l with my morals. In the

beginning, I felt guilty as I might have become a mistress. But in fact, not only

am I not a mistress, but Zhao Xinshu plagiarized my letters and s.n.a.t.c.hed away

the opportunity for me to be with Shen Mubei.”

A smile appeared on her lips, and her eyes were still slightly red. “d.a.m.n it.” “Fortunately, it’s not too late.” Qiao Weiyang handed her a wet tissue.

“I have to thank Zhao Xinshu for buying that trending topic. If not for that, I might not have heard Shen Mubei talk about what happened before. Shen Mubei has shown her mercy. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. All the dignity he left her was because of the letters I wrote.”

Seeing that she was still agitated, Qiao Weiyang wiped her tears away and ordered her a cold drink.

“I wonder how Zhao Xinshu got these letters from you back then.”

“That’s not that important. I sent the letters to Shen Mubei, but perhaps they were s.n.a.t.c.hed by Zhao Xinshu when she went to visit him. She probably used a lot of means to pull this off.”

Qiao Weiyang guessed the same. At that time, Shen Mubei’s leg was not good, so the people who took care of him had many opportunities to swap his things. It was not difficult for Zhao Xinshu to take advantage of the situation.

“Everything is fine now. Don’t be sad,” Qiao Weiyang comforted.

“I’m not sad. I’m just happy.” Xiao Qing picked up her cold drink and smiled happily. “Come, let’s have a toast..”
