It was late at night, Jiang Shuwang sat on a chair on the balcony, looking at the dark night sky expressionlessly.

In the early days, Jiang Yanli let her look at the moon, and she saw several stars.

But now I can't see anything, only the endless blackness.

Jiang Shuwang closed his eyes, recalling what Jiang's father said on the phone.

"I'm the one who's sorry for you. I was unable to give you a healthy and happy family after giving birth to you."

"Shu Wang, these years I have been trying to make up for you in the best way I can, just hoping that you can live a happier life."

"But I also hope you can understand me. When you were young, I met people I liked many times, but I was worried that you would feel uncomfortable, so I kept giving up."

"This time I really met a woman who wants to be with me forever, and I don't want to give up. Shu Wang, you must understand Dad, right?"

"........."

In Jiang Shuwang's memory, it was probably the first time Jiang's father said so many words to her.

She never felt that Father Jiang was sorry for her.

Compared to the woman who abandoned her after giving birth, Father Jiang treated her better.

However, Father Jiang's words tonight made her very uncomfortable.

Are you trying to make up for her in the best way possible?
The best way... is to give her money, and ask a stranger to take care of her, and finally ignore her?

How many times was it because she gave up on the person she liked?

So, in Dad's world, she's just a burden?
A burden that made him give up the life he wanted time and time again.

For the first time, Jiang Shuwang felt wronged.

She stared into the distance without focus, her eye circles gradually turned red and swollen.

"When did I stop you from getting married?"

"When did I not understand you?"

If she didn't understand him, she would have started arguing recklessly since she was living like an orphan.

She had no mother since she was a child, and her father was everything in her little world.

But I don't know when, she was the only one left in her world.

Everyone said she was taciturn, said she was indifferent, said she was not human...

But who would have known that her silence and indifference were just used to cover up her inferiority complex and helplessness.

She doesn't know how to communicate with others at all.

Dad obviously didn't teach her anything, but now he is accusing her of being a burden that hinders his life in a disguised form.

But who ever asked her if this was the life she wanted?

And who would care about her, whether she will be happy or not?

The more Jiang Shuwang thought about it, the sadder he became, and the tears flowed more and more fiercely.

The phone on the small round table rang again and again, as if she hadn't heard it.

After a long time, the doorbell rang, and Jiang Shuwang stopped crying as if he was awake from a dream.

She picked up the phone and saw more than a dozen missed calls from Jiang Yanli displayed on the screen.

The doorbell was still ringing, she hurriedly wiped away her tears and walked forward, seeing Chu Yao's worried face through the cat's eyes.

Jiang Shuwang froze for a moment, and opened the door.

Seeing her open the door, Chu Yao wanted to open her mouth to speak, but froze when her eyes met her red and swollen eyes.

"Chuyao, why did you come here?"

Chu Yao held her hand, did not answer her question, but stepped forward to hug her, "What happened?"

Jiang Shuwang's eyelashes trembled slightly, resisting the urge to cry, choked up and said, "It's nothing, it's just because my dad said he was getting married, and he's not in a good mood."

After entering the room, Jiang Shuwang poured Chu Yao a glass of water, and asked again, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

Chu Yao clicked on WeChat and handed her the phone.

Jiang Shuwang looked suspicious, and after taking the phone, he saw the chat box between her and Jiang Yanli stuck on the screen.

Director Jiang: [Chu Yao, have you rested yet?Can I ask you one thing about Shu Wang. 】

Chu Yao: [What's wrong? 】

Director Jiang: [I called Shu Wang several times and she didn't answer, and she didn't reply to WeChat. She couldn't have fallen asleep at this time, and she was still sleeping so soundly. 】

Chuyao: [I see, let's go now. 】

The last one was just posted by Chuyao: [Meet Shu Wang, she is not in a good condition. 】

Jiang Shuwang looked at the chat records in a daze.

Chu Yao sat beside her quietly, until the screen went dark automatically, before she said, "Would you like to call Director Jiang first? I think he seems to be very worried about you."

Jiang Shuwang nodded blankly, turned on the screen to unlock it, but failed to unlock it after pressing it twice.

Chu Yao blinked and whispered, "Is it possible that this is my cell phone?"

Only then did Jiang Shuwang realize it, with an embarrassed expression on his face, "I forgot."

"It's okay." Chu Yao took her mobile phone and stood up, "Call Director Jiang first, I'll go to the balcony to see the night outside."

She made room for Jiang Shuwang and called Bo Nanxian by the way.

He was the one who drove her here just now, but now she is downstairs in the parking lot.

Chu Yao felt that Jiang Shuwang needed someone to chat with her right now, so she asked Bo Nanxian to go back by herself, and she would stay here tonight.

Bo Nanxian had already guessed that this would be the result, he sighed softly, "I'm alone in the empty room again at night."

"Be good." Chu Yao smiled and coaxed him, "I'll make up for you tomorrow."

Hearing this, the man's tone suddenly became ambiguous, "Then how are you going to make it up to me?"

Chu Yao: "..."

This guy can open a dyeing workshop just by giving him a wink.

"I'll tell you tomorrow."

"Speak now."

"...you can do whatever you want, okay?"

"Do you listen to me?"

"……Yes."

Bo Nanxian chuckled, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

Chu Yao: "..."

There is a bad feeling.

"Then be careful on the way back." Chu Yao reminded.

"Understood, my wife." The man's tone was full of joy, "I will report to you that you are safe when I get home."

"Okay, hang up then." Chu Yao hung up the phone and looked back at the living room. Jiang Shuwang was still talking on the phone, so she looked away and leaned against the guardrail to blow the air.

She squinted her eyes slightly, the night wind felt very comfortable on her face.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Shuwang came to Chu Yao's side, and said softly: "I have only had my father since I was a child, and I have always felt that it is not easy for my father to take me by himself."

Chu Yao tilted her head to look at her side face, and listened quietly to her continuation.

Jiang Shuwang: "I often feel that he is too hard, that he is too lonely, and I hope he can find a suitable person to accompany him, but I am not good at words, and I have never expressed my thoughts."

Jiang Shuwang: "But at night, my father said that because of my existence, he gave up too much. This time he doesn't want to give up. I hope I can understand him."

Jiang Shuwang: "But I really don't know... When did I not understand him?"

After Chu Yao heard her words, she suddenly felt her eyes burning.

Father Jiang is Jiang Shuwang's most important person, and his words are undoubtedly a sharp knife for Jiang Shuwang.

"He doesn't understand you." Chu Yao put his arms around her shoulders, "But we just need to have a clear conscience."
