Xiang Yang stated, “The law couldn’t convict me because I didn’t commit a crime. Therefore, the victim’s—the boy who died—mother hired someone to rape and kill me. A group of hooligans kidnapped me. They asked my father and grandmother for a ransom when they discovered I was from a wealthy family.”
Xiang Yang’s tears fell again as she continued, “My father and grandfather used all their connections and diverted all the funds they could. They did everything they could and were willing to make any sacrifice to keep me alive.”
“I always thought that no one loved me. I did all I could to hurt the hearts of those who loved me the most. My father’s hair turned white within a week due to the stress, and my grandfather passed away from a heart attack half a year after I got rescued. I know that his health had suffered due to the trauma of my kidnapping, so I’m the cause of his death. I’m a sinner; I don’t deserve to live in this world.”
Xiang Yang cried non-stop as she said, “But I promised my grandfather before he died that I would live my life well no matter what happened. I must live well—I’ve already let him down once; I can’t let him down again.”
“My father also forgave me and cleaned up my mess. He sent me to another country to study. There, I truly settled down and focused on my studies. To prevent me from repeating the same mistake, he arranged for my mother’s cousin—who my mother often took care of before she passed—to accompany me.”
“But, in fact, I won’t do such things again even if no one watched over me. My heart had already died; I was only alive to fulfill my promise to Grandpa… until I met Shi Ke.”
Fang Xi heaved a sigh of relief.
“Shi Ke is like sunlight, shining into my gloomy life. He doesn’t know my past; he only loves and dotes on me. I once thought of telling him, but I didn’t know how to. I don’t know how to tell him everything about my horrible past.”
“However, Shi Ke said everyone has a past. He wasn’t involved in my past, nor does he have the right to judge. He loves me in the present and wants to continue loving me in the future. If the past is happy, it should be stored in our memory and deleted if it makes us unhappy.”
