Xu Weilai cleaned up every nook and cranny of the apartment meticulously. By the time she was done, her forehead was covered by a thin layer of sweat but when she saw how spick and span her furniture and floor was, she felt exceptionally happy.
Xu Weilai walked over to the balcony and noticed that her potted plants were all blooming luxuriously, reflecting how well the old lady had cared for them.
Whipping out a pair of scissors, she began to trim off some of the branches and leaves that had grown out. After she was done, she finally found the plants more pleasing to the eye.
“She’s right. We all have to learn to move on with life. If we do not know how to overcome the obstacles that deter us, we won’t be able to move on. We could only know what’s ahead of us if we overcome the hurdle bravely,” Xu Weilai thought.
“It seems like… It wouldn’t be so difficult to let go of the past and forget about it,” she mused.
After cleaning the apartment, the next thing she needed to do was to unpack the clothes in her suitcase and put them away.
Xu Weilai placed her suitcase on the ground and opened it to take out her laptop. After placing it on the table, she turned it on and logged into her email.
She needed to report to her boss that she had arrived home safely and that she could return to work after taking a couple of days off to recover from jetlag.
After all, she still had a billion yuan worth of debt that she was paying off for every month.
Xu Weilai typed away furiously on her keyboard and soon drafted up an email and sent it over to her boss.
Then, she turned around to unpack her other luggage.
Around ten minutes later, Xu Weilai heard her phone buzz. Thinking that it was a reply from her boss, she took one glance at the text but realised that it was a message from an unfamiliar ID.
Her work email was nothing secret but she generally only used it to communicate with her boss and to share information with a few colleagues occasionally. It was her first time seeing this unfamiliar ID.
Feeling curious, Xu Weilai put off her task on hand and sat down on the sofa before she grabbed her laptop and placed it on her lap to read the email.
The first sentence instantly addressed her concerns for the sendee was none other than Su Ziqian.
Su Ziqian wrote that she couldn’t get through to her via phone and thus, checked up on her email. She also shared that she had been thinking about something for a long time and felt that there was a need for her to share it with Xu Weilai.
Xu Weilai was increasingly confused.
Xu Weilai had investigated the details of the murder case and helped Su Ziqian to clear her name. If Su Ziqian wanted to express her gratitude, she had already done so over the phone earlier on. Beyond that, there was actually nothing much for them to talk about.
“Why would she go to the extent of finding out my email address to send me such a message?” Xu Weilai wondered.
Xu Weilai couldn’t help but read on.
“Xu Weilai, I don’t like you. I even hated you for a period of time. I’ve always felt that Yu wouldn’t have been so cold to me and to burn my boat if you hadn’t used despicable methods back then to force Yu to marry you. But now that I think about it, you’re not the reason why he was so heartless to me. He himself was the reason. He never had any feelings for me and I recklessly crossed his bottom line, so it’s only expected of him to not go easy on me. I brought this upon myself,” she wrote.
“The reason why I’m telling you this is because… You are his bottom line. I’ve kept this to myself for too long and I want to share it with someone. After thinking about it, I feel that I could only share it with you, the party involved.”
