Under the persistent questioning of San Er, her parents told her everything, including Lu Feng's promise to give one million dollars, which they relayed to San Er all at once.
After listening, San Er felt as if a bolt from the blue had struck her. Her face turned pale and she couldn't stop trembling. "You asked him for one million dollars?"
"What's wrong? Do you think it's too little too? I also think it's not enough, but he said his company is on the verge of bankruptcy and can't come up with that much money." San Er's father finished speaking and asked San Er, "Is he telling the truth? Is he really on the brink of bankruptcy?"
Tears welled up in San Er's eyes and she cried out, "Give me the phone, I want to call him and ask if he's really this heartless."
San Er's father quickly handed her the phone and urged, "Hurry up and call him, make him give you more money."
Lu Feng had just returned home when he saw San Er's call. He hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Lu Feng, what do you mean by this? You want to dump me for just one million dollars? Do you have any conscience left? I've encountered such a thing and you want to kick me aside? Didn't you say you love me? Why are you treating me like this..." San Er questioned repeatedly, her voice growing sadder with each word until she finally cried uncontrollably.
Listening to the crying on the other end of the phone, Lu Feng only said one word, "Sorry," and then hung up.
San Er unwillingly dialed again.
But this time, she heard a busy tone—the phone was turned off.
San Er instantly felt despair. She thought about how she had lost her uterus at such a young age, and the man who claimed to love her had abandoned her. Her parents only cared about money and didn't really care about her.
The more she thought about it, the sadder and more heartbroken she felt. Unable to bear it any longer, she cried out in pain and fell asleep in a daze.
In the middle of the night, San Er woke up. Her parents were sleeping on the small sofa bed, and she endured the pain as she got up from the bed.
Bent over, she resisted the intense pain in her abdomen and slowly walked out of the room, leaning on the wall for support.
She took the elevator to the rooftop.
The wind on the rooftop was strong, blowing wildly and disheveling her long hair. She sat on the edge of the rooftop, gently swinging her legs.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound broke the silence of midnight.
San Er lay on the ground like a broken doll.
Fresh blood spread out from under her, staining the ground like blooming, vibrant roses.
...
San Er was dead.
San Er's parents blamed Lu Feng for her death. They went to Lu Feng's company and caused a big scene, holding up banners demanding money and his life.
They made a big fuss and even made the news.
Under pressure, Lu Feng paid a large sum of money, but in the end, his company went bankrupt because of the inability to turn over funds.
Lu Feng sold his house and car, but it still wasn't enough to pay his employees' salaries. In the end, he was left with a pile of debts.
Tan Xi Yuan learned about all of this from the news.
She had no sympathy for him at all because everything that happened was his own doing!
Tan Xi Yuan had completed the divorce procedures and received her share of the property.
After finishing everything, Tan Xi Yuan left. She was going abroad to seek refuge with Gu Ya.
On the day of departure, Li Man and Chen Xiaohui both went to the airport to see her off.
Chen Xiaohui reminded her, "Remember to give us a call to let us know you've arrived safely over there."
"Don't worry, I will. Once Gu Ya and I have opened our restaurant, you can come over," Tan Xi Yuan said.
"Okay, Li Man and I will be waiting for your updates," Chen Xiaohui replied.
