Chapter 919: A Letter for Him

It doesn’t matter whether you are the foolish Jiahang from Mang Village or Gu Shaoqian who has recovered his memories, you’re still a good man. I’m very touched that you’re willing to go against your family in order to be with me. However, Jiahang… you deserve to be with a better woman and I am not the woman for you.

My name is He Xiyan and I’m a woman who has been p.r.o.nounced dead by the police for the past three years. I don’t know how I should begin to tell you about my past and if you’d like to know, you could search for my name online. Then, you’d know what I’ve been through.

Jiahang, I’m really sorry to break up with you at a time like this but I would think that breaking up would be the best result for us.

If you really want to know why I’d like to break up, it is because I’m tired. I don’t want to get married again, neither do I want to have another child. All I want to do is to spend the rest of my life peacefully with my two children.

Jiahang, I’m sorry, I really am. I hope that you’d be able to empathize with my decisions and I also hope that you’d be able to let go of this relations.h.i.+p. Forget about me and start life anew.

You’re a great guy, so I’m sure that someone who is even better for you than me would fall for you. There’s also your ex-girlfriend. I guess she’s also better and more suitable for yourself than I am.

You can have both the house and the shop that we bought and set up together. If you don’t wish to continue living here, you could sell it. If you don’t want to manage the shop, you can let someone else manage the business.

Don’t worry, I don’t lack money. My ex-husband gave me close to 700 million dollars in alimony and I still have three properties, many stocks and funds at my disposal. I don’t think I’ll ever finish spending my fortune in this lifetime.

Goodbye, Jiahang. I hope you’d lead an even better and more blissful life in the future.

Regards, He Xiyan

He Xiyan put down her pen after she penned the final word. Then, she reached out to touch her cheeks and realized that her face was full of tears. She turned to look at her vanity mirror and saw that her eyes were completely red, as though she had contracted some kind of infection.

She rose to her feet and carefully folded the note that she had just written and placed it in the middle of the bed. She thought that Jiahang would be able to see this note when he returned.

Then, she opened her large white closet and took out a suitcase from the depths of the luggage. She packed quickly and simply and decided to discard the rest of her clothes.

She dragged her suitcase out of her room and she couldn’t help but turn back when she reached the doorway to take a final look at this house that Jiahang and herself had bought with their hard-earned money. She had always thought of this house as her home and now that she was leaving, this was not just a break-up but to her, she felt as though she had lost her home.

She stood at the doorway for a long while but she did not make any move to leave.

Suddenly, there was a loud dinging sound as the elevator stopped on the 19th floor. She turned and saw that it was her neighbors. The couple who lived in unit 19-04 had returned.

“Hmm, Chen Yan, are you going on a business trip?” Xiao Li greeted her with a smile and asked He Xiyan this question when she noticed the suitcase in her hands.

He Xiyan pressed her lips into a small smile and nodded.

She didn’t respond because she was afraid that the hoa.r.s.eness of her voice would betray the sadness she felt. She didn’t even dare look at her neighbors for fear that they would see her swollen eyes.

He Xiyan finally reached out to slowly close the door after her neighbors returned home.

She felt her heart shudder as the door slammed shut with a bang.
