Chapter 14

My lips trembled a few times, yet I lacked the courage to admit anything.

In the end, I could only utter mechanical words:

“Jiang Ye, go apologize to Mr. Jiang.”

“You are his son and should have a better future, meeting more beautiful and younger girls.”

“Shut up!” Hatred slowly overflowed from Jiang Ye’s eyes, “Fang Yao, you know very well… all my happiness over these years has only been related to you.”

Tears poured down.

I could no longer say anything.

With trembling hands, I held Jiang Ye’s head.

“This is wrong, Jiang Ye, this is wrong…”

I am a cowardly and pitiful person.

Unable to break free from the responsibilities and shackles within, and even more unable to face the mistakes I’ve made.

Ms. Zheng has supported me for fourteen years, and we have exchanged letters for fourteen years.

She said I was her bestie, like a friend across generations.

She also said that once I graduated, I could join Jiang Group and become her right-hand.

But I never waited for that day.

I only waited for the collapse of my benefactor’s family.

“Yao, can you help me take care of Ye? I’m begging you!”

I could never refuse Ms. Zheng.

I wanted her to always be happy and carefree.

But I messed everything up.

Through tear-blurred eyes, I seemed to see Ms. Zheng standing not far away, her handbag crashing onto the concrete ground.
