00:00:00I tried everything I could to get Leanne, the most beautiful girl, in college.
00:00:04I eventually married her.
00:00:06But even after three years of marriage, our relationship never truly blossomed.
00:00:10She claimed she had a severe cleanliness obsession called misophobia
00:00:14and was undergoing psychological treatment for it.
00:00:17She would constantly ask for time.
00:00:19Once I kissed her on the lips, but her reaction was so intense
00:00:22that she ran straight to the bathroom to vomit her.
00:00:25Although she explained that it was just a physical reaction
00:00:28and had nothing to do with me, I was still devastated.
00:00:32And in the fourth year of our marriage, her company sent her abroad
00:00:35and we were separated for a whole year.
00:00:37On our fifth wedding anniversary, I decided to go abroad to surprise her.
00:00:42But when I got off the flight and arrived at her company's restaurant,
00:00:44the scene I witnessed at the restaurant next door changed my world.
00:00:48I saw Leanne booking a hotel room for another man.
00:00:52Standing outside the glass wall of the restaurant,
00:00:55I stared at her holding a bouquet of roses.
00:00:57A man in a suit stood next to her.
00:01:00They were laughing and talking.
00:01:02I had never seen Lioruyan smile so gently.
00:01:05It was as if all his coldness and distance had suddenly melted away.
00:01:09The love in his eyes as he spoke to me was something I had never seen for myself.
00:01:14In that moment, something inside me broke.
00:01:16After a long while, Ruyuan's gaze fell on me.
00:01:18The smile on her face slowly disappeared.
00:01:20She whispered something to the man and walked towards me with an umbrella.
00:01:24Leanne, why are you here?
00:01:25Her voice held a hint of displeasure.
00:01:28Not joy at my arrival.
00:01:30I forced a smile and handed her the bouquet.
00:01:33Happy fifth anniversary, Ruyuan.
00:01:35But before she could even pick up the flowers, I heard the man's voice in the distance.
00:01:39Ruyuan, the meeting is about to start.
00:01:41Ruyuan looked at me and said calmly,
00:01:43Come inside with me first.
00:01:45And then turned back.
00:01:46I stood there for a moment, then followed her.
00:01:49On the way, I learned that the man's name was Shah Chuha and that he was very close to Ruyuan.
00:01:54I tried several times to talk to Ruyuan alone, but Sean would always interrupt.
00:01:58Finally, when we reached the door of the meeting room, he looked at me and suddenly said something in Spanish.
00:02:03Ruyuan replied in Spanish.
00:02:05Both of them thought I didn't understand their language.
00:02:07But little did they know that five years ago, I had secretly learned Spanish just to get closer to Ruyuan.
00:02:13What they said meant something.
00:02:15Is this the man you married?
00:02:17Yes, but that's not important anymore.
00:02:20Hearing those words completely broke my heart.
00:02:22Before entering the meeting room, Ruyuan said coldly,
00:02:24I have a meeting.
00:02:25You wait here.
00:02:27He wasn't behaving like a husband, but like a stranger.
00:02:30I bent down and stared at the wilting roses in my hands.
00:02:34They were exactly like our relationship, on one hand.
00:02:37Love had lasted for five years, but in the end, there was nothing but emptiness.
00:02:42I wiped the raindrops from my face and threw the bouquet in the trash.
00:02:46I was tempted to return to China right away, but I thought I should at least ask him the truth.
00:02:51I didn't realize this wait would take two full hours.
00:02:54After the meeting I went with Liu Ruyuan to his home in England.
00:02:58It was a single apartment provided by the Research Institute.
00:03:01The room was impeccably clean, and everything was neatly arranged.
00:03:05Liu Ruyuan brought me a pair of new slippers.
00:03:08Just as I was about to put them on, I noticed another pair of men's slippers next to the shoe.
00:03:12They were exactly the same design as the women's slippers Liu Ruyuan was wearing.
00:03:17I saw your I've ordered new toiletries online for you, she said.
00:03:21Go rest for a while.
00:03:22Then she asked, you haven't eaten yet, right?
00:03:25I'll make you some noodles.
00:03:28I nodded.
00:03:29She always spoke to me with such politeness and distance sense.
00:03:32Even her politeness felt like a wall between us.
00:03:35The long flight had exhausted me.
00:03:37I settled on the living room sofa.
00:03:39Then my eyes fell on her phone lying on the coffee table.
00:03:42The screen suddenly lit up.
00:03:44The phone was right next to me, so I could clearly see that the sender's name was Jachan.
00:03:49In five years of marriage, I had never checked her phone.
00:03:52But then something happened.
00:03:54I picked up the phone.
00:03:55The message read,
00:03:56If you had decided to come to me earlier, the person sitting next to you today might have been me.
00:04:01Seeing these words, the last remaining hope in my heart vanished.
00:04:04Now, I was completely convinced that Xiao Chen was the man Liu Ruyan had once loved him he of.
00:04:10After a few seconds, the screen turned off.
00:04:12But then my eyes fell on her wallpaper.
00:04:14That Xiao Chen, there was a picture of her wearing a graduation gown.
00:04:17My wife's phone wallpaper had been a picture of her ex-boyfriend for five years.
00:04:21At that moment, I fully understood for the first time how small my status was in Liu Ruyan's world.
00:04:26A soft sound of utensils came from the kitchen.
00:04:29I put the phone back and acted as if I hadn't seen anything.
00:04:33Then I walked towards the kitchen.
00:04:35Liu Ruyan didn't even look at me.
00:04:37She simply offered me chopsticks.
00:04:39If you don't like the taste, don't force it.
00:04:41I took the chopsticks and asked,
00:04:44Softly, can you tell me the truth about the relationship between you and Xiao Chen?
00:04:47Liu, Ruuran, replied calmly.
00:04:49Xiao Chen is my ex-boyfriend.
00:04:51We were together for eight years.
00:04:52We were almost married.
00:04:54But later, our dreams and goals diverged.
00:04:57He wanted to pursue a career abroad.
00:04:59And I decided to stay in China.
00:05:01His voice sounded normal.
00:05:02But I could clearly feel the slight tremor in it.
00:05:05I bowed my head and asked again, eating noodles.
00:05:08That was it.
00:05:09There was a moment of silence.
00:05:10But this time, too, she didn't respond.
00:05:12It was late at night.
00:05:14We were both lying on the same bed.
00:05:16But as always, on different sides when Lurian.
00:05:18Lurian suddenly reached out and grabbed mine.
00:05:21Despite sleeping in the same bed while in China, she always avoided my touch.
00:05:26This was the first time she had ever held my hand.
00:05:28I thought maybe now she would explain everything that had happened that day.
00:05:32But she said, yes, Monet, I've made it.
00:05:34Decision.
00:05:35I'm going to settle here.
00:05:37My hands went cold.
00:05:38When she had come to England a year earlier, she had said it was just a short business trip.
00:05:43Then it stretched from one week to the next.
00:05:45I had stayed in China, taking care of her parents.
00:05:47Always hoping that one day she would return.
00:05:51But now in a very quiet voice, she was telling me that she wanted to stay here forever.
00:05:55I knew she wasn't waiting for me and at that moment, I had no strength left to stop her.
00:06:00I said softly, okay, it just rains a lot here.
00:06:03Take care of yourself.
00:06:05When I gave in so easily, I felt a sense of relief.
00:06:07She was probably surprised.
00:06:08She held my hand tighter.
00:06:11Oh, Monet didn't reply.
00:06:13She just closed her eyes because I had already made my final decision.
00:06:17I was going back alone.
00:06:19And the truth was, I never told her that I hated the rain.
00:06:24As the night deepened, Liu Ruyan's phone vibrated repeatedly.
00:06:27I knew these messages were from Xiao Chun.
00:06:30After a while, Liu Ruyan slowly got out of bed and said to me in a low voice,
00:06:34Xiao Chun saw his ex-wife cheating on him on a rainy and stormy night.
00:06:37That's why he's so afraid of thunder and lightning now.
00:06:40I have to go to him.
00:06:42I'll be back soon.
00:06:44Perhaps she wanted to comfort me, but I didn't respond and pretended to be asleep.
00:06:49Although no one knew better than me that this time I wasn't going to wait for her.
00:06:53After she left, I got out of bed.
00:06:56I picked up the phone at 4 o'clock and booked the first flight back to China for 4 o
00:07:00'clock in the morning.
00:07:00Then I left.
00:07:01I opened the pack and took out five beautifully packaged gift boxes.
00:07:05Each box had a special date written on it.
00:07:07I arranged them neatly on the table.
00:07:09Then I recorded a voice message in Spanish for Liu Ru.
00:07:12I sent it as soon as the recording was complete.
00:07:15Ten hours later, the plane landed at Beijing Capital International Airport.
00:07:19I slowly opened my eyes.
00:07:21There was no fatigue from the long flight.
00:07:22Only a strange languid piece in my eyes.
00:07:25Outside the window, I could see Beijing and March.
00:07:27The other sky looked exactly like the endless Edinburgh rain.
00:07:31That presses on my chest like a heavy stone, making it difficult to breathe.
00:07:35I had turned off my phone before boarding the plane at London, Heathrow Airport.
00:07:39Now its black screen reflected my own reflection.
00:07:43Deep dark circles under my eyes and an unkempt beard growing on my chin.
00:07:47Thirteen years.
00:07:48Thirteen years.
00:07:49Eight years of obsessively pursuing someone.
00:07:52Five years of marriage in name only.
00:07:53Finally, my entire youth.
00:07:55My entire passion.
00:07:56Everything was spent on Lyon.
00:07:58And finally, I had nothing.
00:08:00I didn't even come.
00:08:00Leaving only emptiness and brokenness.
00:08:02While unloading my luggage, a passenger accidentally bumped into me.
00:08:05He panicked and apologized repeatedly.
00:08:07I simply nodded my head.
00:08:09My voice so hoarse as if it had been rubbed against sand.
00:08:13After much effort, only two words came out of my mouth.
00:08:15It's okay.
00:08:16I got up and opened the overhead luggage compartment.
00:08:19Inside were just a few simple clothes and nothing else.
00:08:22When I left for England, my suitcase was packed.
00:08:25It contained Liu Ruhian's fifth wedding anniversary gift.
00:08:28German-made surgical instruments.
00:08:29She had long coveted.
00:08:31Her favorite Chinese sweets.
00:08:34There were also local specialty items for her parents.
00:08:37But when I returned, all those things were gone.
00:08:40Like the red roses I wanted to give her.
00:08:43Those roses, drenched and withered, in the rain were finally thrown into the trash.
00:08:47And with them, my last hope for thirteen years of love was buried.
00:08:51Forever in that rainy city.
00:08:54Like my own family, I had lost the person who had given me thirteen years of love.
00:08:57I had loved Liu Ruhian for years.
00:08:59As I exited the airport terminal, a crowd of people surged through me.
00:09:02Some held placards bearing the names of their loved ones.
00:09:05Others were scurrying to find someone in the crowd.
00:09:08Friends reunited after years were smiling and embracing.
00:09:11Children were laughing happily.
00:09:12And relatives were inquiring about each other's well-being.
00:09:15All around was a vibrant atmosphere filled with noise and excitement.
00:09:18But all this hustle and bustle had nothing to do with me.
00:09:20I walked with heavy steps like a lost soul, lost in the world slowly, fading into the crowd.
00:09:26Even my reflection seemed filled with loneliness and desolation.
00:09:30Reaching a secluded corner, I finally turned on my phone.
00:09:34The next moment, countless missed calls and messages flooded my phone.
00:09:37The phone vibrated continuously, making my palms tingle.
00:09:40They were all from Liu Ruhian.
00:09:42In just a few hours between my boarding the plane and my landing, he had called thirty-seven times and
00:09:46sent nearly one hundred messages.
00:09:48My fingers paused for a moment on the screen.
00:09:50Sheila.
00:09:50But I didn't even unlock the call.
00:09:52Without hesitation and without any emotional turmoil, I blacklisted the number.
00:09:57I knew by heart.
00:09:59After that, messages from her kept popping up in my WeChat window.
00:10:02Initially, she asked,
00:10:04Where have you been?
00:10:05I've seen the gift box.
00:10:06What does that mean?
00:10:07Then came the panicked messages.
00:10:09Ammo.
00:10:10Reply to my message.
00:10:11Don't go.
00:10:12We can sit and talk.
00:10:13And finally, a politeness.
00:10:15I'd never seen from her before.
00:10:17Um, I made a mistake.
00:10:18Please come back.
00:10:20I was wrong.
00:10:21I was wrong.
00:10:22These three words stung my eyes.
00:10:24Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on my lips.
00:10:26A smile that mixed sarcasm, stubbornness, and deep sorrow.
00:10:30I was wrong.
00:10:31Where was Liu Ruhian wrong?
00:10:32She simply never loved me.
00:10:35She was never wrong.
00:10:36In fact, she had been comfortably enjoying my thirteen years of unwavering devotion.
00:10:40While showering all her love, affection, and tenderness on another man.
00:10:44I opened the settings.
00:10:46Her acquaintances, I found the profile, photo, and clicked delete contact.
00:10:49As soon as the confirmation pop-up appeared, I immediately pressed confirm.
00:10:53A thirteen-year-old obsession was completely destroyed by my own hands in that very moment.
00:10:56As I left the terminal, I realized that Beijing in March was still holding up to the chill of a
00:11:01late winter.
00:11:01Winter?
00:11:02Winter.
00:11:03The cold wind stung like a knife against my face.
00:11:06I hailed a taxi and gave her the address of the house where Liu Ruhian, and I had lived together
00:11:10for the past five years.
00:11:12I had designed that house myself.
00:11:13During that time, I spent countless nights making adjustments to the plans, making attention to every detail.
00:11:18To give her the perfect home, every corner of the house was designed to her liking and habits.
00:11:24She had a strong obsession with cleanliness, therefore the highest quality, high germ-rim-free, and environmentally friendly building materials
00:11:31were used throughout the house.
00:11:32Even the cracks and corners were specially designed to prevent dust from accumulating pay.
00:11:37She had been undergoing surgery for several years and also had back problems, therefore the kitchen, the counter, and bathroom
00:11:43washbasin were custom-made to fit her high-tide.
00:11:46The large glass windows in the living room faced the hospital where she worked simply because she had once casually
00:11:51mentioned that she loved watching the sun set.
00:11:55But in the past five years, she had spent less than a year in this house altogether.
00:11:59She was always working overtime at the hospital, always busy with some surgery or another, always attending some academic conference.
00:12:06Even when she came home, her demeanor maintained a polite yet cold distance.
00:12:11It felt as if there was an invisible glass wall between us.
00:12:14She was extremely reluctant to even offer a simple hug or touch.
00:12:18I arrived at the apartment downstairs.
00:12:19I paid the taxi fare, got off, and looked at that familiar building.
00:12:23The 17th floor, the same window, that had once glowed with light waiting for my return, waiting for my return.
00:12:29The same place I considered my final resting place.
00:12:31Today, it was completely dark.
00:12:33Suddenly, everything felt strange.
00:12:36I took the elevator up, opened the door with my fingerprint, and clicked.
00:12:39The door swung open.
00:12:40The house was exactly as I had left it.
00:12:43Impeccably clean.
00:12:44Everything neatly arranged.
00:12:46Every corner reflected Lou Ryan's habits.
00:12:48Her white sneakers and high heels were neatly arranged in the shoe rack in the entryway.
00:12:53While my slippers were tucked away in a corner as if they were just a mismatched and unnecessary decoration in
00:12:57this house.
00:12:59I changed my shoes and went into the living room, tossed my bag on the sofa, and sank into the
00:13:03soft cushions closing my eyes.
00:13:04The fatigue of the long flight.
00:13:06Thirteen years of grievances.
00:13:08Resentments.
00:13:08A broken heart.
00:13:09At that moment, everything crashed upon me like a flood, after a dam broke.
00:13:13I felt like crying, but my eyes were dry and filled with pain.
00:13:18Not a single tear escaped.
00:13:20Perhaps this is the deepest pain of a broken heart.
00:13:22I don't know how long I sat there in the darkness.
00:13:25The neon lights of the city had flickered on outside the window, and then slowly my mind began to calm
00:13:29down.
00:13:29Then suddenly the doorbell rang.
00:13:32Once again.
00:13:33The second time.
00:13:34The voice was hesitant and shy.
00:13:35I froze, but didn't move.
00:13:38Who could have come looking for me so late at night?
00:13:40I couldn't imagine.
00:13:41The doorbell rang a few more times.
00:13:43Then a soft female voice rang from outside the door.
00:13:45Her voice was as light as a feather, but it struck me straight in the heart.
00:13:50Emo.
00:13:50Are you home?
00:13:51The voice was both familiar and strange.
00:13:54I remained silent for a few seconds.
00:13:55Then I got up, walked to the door, and opened it.
00:13:58Sun was standing outside.
00:14:00She was wearing a light beige cashmere coat and holding a thermos.
00:14:04Her long black hair was slightly disheveled by the wind, and her fair cheeks were slightly reddened by the cold.
00:14:09Her eyes lit up for a moment when she saw me, but the next moment they faded again.
00:14:14The pain hidden in those eyes couldn't be hidden from anyone.
00:14:16Jingyan, why are you here?
00:14:18I asked.
00:14:19My voice was still heavy and heavy, with a hint of uneasiness tinged in it.
00:14:24Saching had known me for 24 years.
00:14:26When we both met, we were little children running and playing in the same courtyard.
00:14:29Ever since then, she'd always followed me around, calling me Baya Amuka Amuk.
00:14:34She'd seen me transform from a cheerful, carefree boy into the broken, exhausted man I am today.
00:14:40Seeing her, her heart felt like it was being pricked with needles.
00:14:43It hurt so much that even breathing became difficult.
00:14:46I've been trying to call you for days, but I can't get through.
00:14:48She said, softly,
00:14:51Ank just told me you went to England.
00:14:54Her voice was soft, as if she was afraid she might hurt me.
00:14:57Further?
00:14:58I thought you'd return today.
00:14:59That's why I came here every day, waiting for you.
00:15:02She lifted the thermos in her hand.
00:15:05I've made millet porridge.
00:15:06Your stomach has always been weak.
00:15:08You probably haven't eaten properly on such a long flight.
00:15:11A faint smile appeared on her face.
00:15:14It was as gentle as a spring breeze.
00:15:15I stared at her, and suddenly I felt a crack open in that long, frozen, barren field of my heart.
00:15:22A faint warmth slowly seeped in through that crack.
00:15:26For the past five years, I had lived entirely for Liu Ruyan.
00:15:29For her sake, I hid my identity, suppressed my radiance,
00:15:33and distanced myself from almost all my old friends and relationships.
00:15:36But she remained, and in my knowledge, on every holiday, she would send me greetings.
00:15:41Sometimes she would even send something I liked, or a small gift, and I would often simply reply
00:15:46with a formality.
00:15:47Sometimes I wouldn't even reply to her messages.
00:15:49Yet she never left.
00:15:51I stepped aside, and let her in.
00:15:54Su Ching-in walked straight into the dining room in a familiar manner.
00:15:57She opened the thermos, scooped hot millet porridge into a bowl, and brought it with her.
00:16:01She placed some light dishes in front of me.
00:16:03Eat quickly, it's hot.
00:16:04It will satisfy your stomach.
00:16:05I sat down at the table.
00:16:07The steam rising from the bowl suddenly.
00:16:08It brought back memories of that night in the apartment in England.
00:16:11Liu Ruyan had also made noodles for me that night.
00:16:13They were bitter and cold, whereas the simple, simple dish was placed before me, was placed
00:16:17before me.
00:16:18A bowl of porridge.
00:16:19It was causing a slight burning sensation in my nose, and enough to make my eyes moist.
00:16:23I picked up a spoon, and slowly began to eat.
00:16:26The hot porridge sank into my stomach, spreading warm throughout my body.
00:16:29The chill in my body slowly disappeared, and the thick layer of ice on my heart began to
00:16:34melt, though.
00:16:36Su Ching sat across from me, watching me silently.
00:16:37She didn't ask what happened.
00:16:39In England, she didn't even try to find out how my relationship with Liu Ruyan ended.
00:16:44She simply supported me silently, because she knew me so well.
00:16:48I may have appeared calm and gentle on the outside, but deep inside I was a complete genius.
00:16:53There was no point in asking the things.
00:16:55I didn't want to say.
00:16:56At this moment I didn't need questions or comforting words.
00:16:59It's just someone's quiet companionship.
00:17:02After finishing a bowl of porridge, I put down the spoon, raised my head, and softly said,
00:17:08Qingyan.
00:17:08Su Qingyan smiled, and as she packed up the dishes said, Why be so formal with me?
00:17:13We've grown up together since childhood.
00:17:15She paused for a moment, but finally couldn't stop herself.
00:17:17Her voice was soft, but every word came from the heart.
00:17:20Amo, don't torture yourself anymore for those who don't deserve your love.
00:17:25My fingers paused slightly.
00:17:28After a moment of silence, I slowly nodded.
00:17:30My voice was quiet, but it held a firmness I'd never felt before.
00:17:35I know thirteen.
00:17:36Ears is enough.
00:17:37I don't want to waste any more time.
00:17:40Su Qing looked at me in disbelief.
00:17:42Now, she'd been waiting for these words for five whole years.
00:17:46Yes, I replied softly.
00:17:48The dead silence in my eyes finally began to lift, replaced by a faint glimmer of hope.
00:17:53I had given up on her.
00:17:55I had truly decided to move on.
00:17:58Just then my phone rang.
00:18:00Two words flashed on the screen.
00:18:01Papa.
00:18:02My fingers paused for a moment.
00:18:05Then I answered.
00:18:07Hello, Papa.
00:18:08Shen Jimshan's steady commanding voice came from the other end.
00:18:12His voice held more emotion.
00:18:14But I could sense the worry and pain hidden within her.
00:18:18Amo, you're back in China.
00:18:19I just arrived.
00:18:21Come to the old house.
00:18:23Your mother and I are here.
00:18:24Shen Jimshan's tone was such that it left no room for argument.
00:18:28There are some important things I need to talk to you about.
00:18:31I remained silent for a few seconds, then said,
00:18:33Okay, and hung up.
00:18:35Meanwhile, Su Qingya had cleared the table.
00:18:37She looked at me and said,
00:18:39Uncle and Auntie must be very upset.
00:18:41You should go and see them.
00:18:42I'll pack up a little and leave.
00:18:45Don't worry.
00:18:47There's no need to pack anything.
00:18:48Just leave it like this.
00:18:50I got up, picked up my coat, and said,
00:18:52I'll drop you off.
00:18:53Downstairs.
00:18:53There's no need.
00:18:56Su Qingya pushed me toward the door, smiling.
00:18:58I'll go myself.
00:19:00You better hurry up.
00:19:01Don't keep Auntie waiting any longer.
00:19:03Then she paused and said,
00:19:04And if anything happens, call me anytime.
00:19:07You still remember my number, right?
00:19:08She deliberately emphasized the last sentence.
00:19:11She was afraid that all these years my world had revolved solely around Yuliu,
00:19:15and that I'd even forgotten her number.
00:19:17I looked into her eyes.
00:19:19A warmth slowly spread within, within my heart.
00:19:21I smiled and nodded.
00:19:23I remember.
00:19:24Don't worry.
00:19:24After Su Qingyang left, I stood at the entrance.
00:19:28I looked at that house for the last time.
00:19:30The house that had housed my five-year marriage and thirteen years of passion.
00:19:34But now, there was no attachment left in my heart.
00:19:36No regrets.
00:19:38No attachment.
00:19:39Only relief, complete and true.
00:19:41I turned, closed the door, and pressed the elevator button.
00:19:44This time, I didn't look back.
00:19:46Just as I would never again look back at the past, which had been called Liuliu,
00:19:51the Shan family mansion was located in a quiet and luxurious villa zone in the western hills of Beijing.
00:19:56This place was considered one of the residences of Beijing's most prestigious and influential families,
00:20:00and I drove in through the main entrance.
00:20:03The butler was already waiting for me at the door.
00:20:06He respectfully opened the car door.
00:20:08Young master, you, I'm back.
00:20:10The master and mistress are waiting for you in the living room.
00:20:13I nodded.
00:20:13I got out of the car and went inside the villa.
00:20:16The living room was filled with warm yellow light.
00:20:19Shen Jimshen was sitting on the sofa, reading a financial newspaper.
00:20:22And as soon as I entered my mother, Linhuan immediately stood up.
00:20:25Her eyes turned red in an instant.
00:20:28Amo, you're finally back.
00:20:29She quickly walked over to me and touched my face.
00:20:32The pain was evident in her eyes.
00:20:35Look at you.
00:20:36You've only been gone for a few days.
00:20:38But how did you get so thin?
00:20:39Did someone treat you badly?
00:20:41Seeing the worry in my mother's eyes, my nose burned slightly.
00:20:44I reached out and hugged her.
00:20:46Mom, I'm fine.
00:20:47I'm sorry for worrying you and dad.
00:20:50You're my son.
00:20:52Linhuan patted my back.
00:20:53Her voice was choked.
00:20:55How can I not worry seeing you like this?
00:20:58Back then you were so adamant that you had to marry Ruyan.
00:21:01You hid your true identity just to win her love.
00:21:05I couldn't stop you.
00:21:06But you've endured so much in these five years.
00:21:08Do you think your father and I didn't know anything?
00:21:11My body went slightly stiff.
00:21:13I always thought I hid everything so well.
00:21:16But perhaps nothing can be hidden from parents' eyes.
00:21:18I fell in love with Liu Ruyan at first sight.
00:21:21That day I was driving somewhere.
00:21:23Suddenly I saw a crowd of people gathered on the street.
00:21:26Curious, I made my way through the crowd and then I saw her.
00:21:30Tsiya Yoyame.
00:21:31Wearing a white doctor's coat.
00:21:32She was kneeling on the ground.
00:21:34She was giving CPR to an injured person,
00:21:36unmindful of the blood and broken glass surrounding her.
00:21:39There was unwavering determination in her eyes
00:21:41and a glow radiated from her whole personality.
00:21:43I was completely captivated by her in that very moment.
00:21:46Later I searched everywhere for her information.
00:21:48Then I learned that she was one of the youngest surgeons at City Hospital.
00:21:53Her medical skills were exceptional
00:21:54and her demeanor was cool and detached.
00:21:57One day I overheard her talking to a colleague.
00:21:59She was saying that she didn't like spoiled boys from wealthy families.
00:22:03According to her, they only used their family power to swindle
00:22:07and had no real talent.
00:22:09She also said that she would never marry into a wealthy family.
00:22:13She simply wanted to live a simple life with a simple, honest man.
00:22:17Because of this one sentence,
00:22:19I concealed my identity as the Shen family's sole heir.
00:22:22To the world, I presented myself as just an ordinary architectural designer
00:22:25with a normal salary, a normal apartment, and a normal car worth about 200,000 yuan.
00:22:31I transformed myself into exactly the kind of person Liu Rouyan wanted.
00:22:34A simple, honest, and ordinary man.
00:22:37I spent eight years trying to melt her ice-cold feelings.
00:22:41Even though she always kept her distance from me.
00:22:44Even though she was so obsessed with cleanliness
00:22:46that she avoided even holding hands.
00:22:48Still, I never gave up.
00:22:50Everyone told me that Liu Rouyan didn't care about me.
00:22:53But I didn't listen to anyone.
00:22:55I always believed that if I was dedicated enough,
00:22:57her heart would melt one day, one day.
00:23:00For five years of our marriage, I held her in high esteem.
00:23:03She had a passion for cleanliness, so I did all the household chores.
00:23:07Every day, the house was sparkling clean before she returned.
00:23:10Hot water was always ready.
00:23:11I cooked her favorite meals,
00:23:13even thoroughly disinfecting the utensils beforehand.
00:23:16When her parents fell ill and were hospitalized,
00:23:18I served them like a son, caring for them day and night to me.
00:23:22When she was treated unfairly at the hospital,
00:23:24or when her colleagues harassed her,
00:23:26I quietly used the Shen family's influence and connections
00:23:30to clear the way for her,
00:23:31so she could focus on her medical research and career without worry.
00:23:36But she always believed that all this was due to her fate
00:23:39and her own abilities.
00:23:41For her, I gave up the opportunity to study abroad.
00:23:44I gave up the opportunity to take over the family business.
00:23:46I gave up the life that should have been mine
00:23:49and became the man who stood behind her for 13 years without any identity.
00:23:53Hmm.
00:23:54But I finally understood that
00:23:55a heart that has no love for you
00:23:57can never be proud.
00:23:58The marriage I held, Moe's,
00:24:00precious to her, was just a convenience of war.
00:24:03A compromise.
00:24:04A hollow shell.
00:24:05A mask to show the world.
00:24:08Sit down.
00:24:08Let's talk.
00:24:09Shen Jingshan put down the newspaper.
00:24:11His face was as calm as ever,
00:24:13but today it lacked its previous sternness.
00:24:16I left my mother and sat on the sofa.
00:24:18I know everything that happened in England,
00:24:21Shen Jingshan said calmly.
00:24:22But there was a command in his voice that couldn't.
00:24:25Be ignored, Mea.
00:24:27I know everything about that Shan too.
00:24:29And what Liu Ryan did too.
00:24:31I looked at him in surprise.
00:24:33You thought you could go to England hiding your identity
00:24:35and I wouldn't know anything?
00:24:37He let out a soft, cold laugh.
00:24:39You're my son.
00:24:40Shen Jingshan's son.
00:24:41How can I not keep an eye on your every move?
00:24:43My people were around you
00:24:45when you were standing in front of the Edinburgh Institute.
00:24:47If you hadn't stopped me,
00:24:49I would have sent people long ago.
00:24:51Hearing this, my throat choked.
00:24:53I couldn't speak.
00:24:54I always thought I was the only one
00:24:55who knew about my suffering and humiliation
00:24:57over the past five years.
00:24:59But I didn't know that my parents
00:25:00had been witnessing it all
00:25:02and felt the pain with me every time.
00:25:04They never spoke to me about it
00:25:06just to avoid hurting my self-respect.
00:25:10Dad, my voice choked.
00:25:12I'm sorry.
00:25:12I let you down.
00:25:14Disappointed,
00:25:15Shen Zishan looked at me.
00:25:17This time, his tone was softer.
00:25:19You didn't let us down.
00:25:20You were just very young
00:25:21and love blinded you.
00:25:24Every man makes mistakes in life.
00:25:26The important thing is to turn back in time.
00:25:29After a pause, he continued.
00:25:31At that time,
00:25:31you insisted on marrying that same girl.
00:25:33You insisted on living a normal life.
00:25:35Your mother and I could have stopped you,
00:25:38but we didn't
00:25:39because we wanted you to see
00:25:40the true nature of people
00:25:41by hitting the wall yourself.
00:25:43Now you've hit the wall.
00:25:45You've been injured.
00:25:46It's time to wake up.
00:25:48I nodded slowly.
00:25:49I'm awake.
00:25:51Seeing the determination in my eyes,
00:25:53Shen Zishan nodded with satisfaction.
00:25:55A glint of approval flashed in his eyes.
00:25:57Then he slid a file in front of me.
00:25:59Now that you're awake,
00:26:01let's move on.
00:26:02This is information about
00:26:03the Shen Group's medical and healthcare sector.
00:26:05Our group has been working
00:26:06in the medical field
00:26:07for the past 20 years.
00:26:08We control the entire industry chain,
00:26:10including drug research,
00:26:11medical equipment manufacturing,
00:26:12private hospitals,
00:26:13and the healthcare industry.
00:26:15See for yourself the scale.
00:26:17I opened the file,
00:26:18and my eyes widened.
00:26:19I only knew that the Shen family
00:26:21had become wealthy
00:26:21through real estate and finance,
00:26:23but I had no idea
00:26:24their influence in the medical field
00:26:26was so vast.
00:26:27Nearly half of the country's
00:26:29top private hospitals
00:26:29were owned by the Shen Group.
00:26:31Even the city hospital
00:26:33where Lian worked
00:26:33was controlled by
00:26:35one of the Shen family's
00:26:36biggest investors,
00:26:37and that was
00:26:38just the beginning.
00:26:40Yuangyo Pharmaceuticals,
00:26:41a subsidiary of the Shen Group,
00:26:42was one of China's leading
00:26:43pharmaceutical research companies.
00:26:44Its research centers
00:26:45were spread all over the world.
00:26:48Shan Qi and Chua Pharmaceuticals
00:26:50were no match for it.
00:26:51Shen Jing Shan's voice
00:26:52gradually grew colder.
00:26:54What was Lirayan most proud of?
00:26:56His medical skills,
00:26:57his academic reputation,
00:26:59and his surgical achievements,
00:27:00and Xiao Zhan was
00:27:02proud of his reputation
00:27:03in the family business
00:27:04and the medical world.
00:27:05He looked me in the eye
00:27:06and said,
00:27:07quote,
00:27:07they think you're not
00:27:08worthy of them,
00:27:09so I'll show them
00:27:10how insignificant
00:27:10the thing they're most proud of is,
00:27:12is in the Shen family's eyes.
00:27:14Yispo,
00:27:15in front of the Shen family,
00:27:16they're just
00:27:16ancients,
00:27:17crushable with a single finger.
00:27:19My fingers trembled slightly.
00:27:22I considered revenge,
00:27:23but even if
00:27:24a 13-year relationship
00:27:25is completely over,
00:27:27some memories
00:27:27and feelings
00:27:28still linger,
00:27:30that's why there was still
00:27:31a little softness
00:27:32in my heart.
00:27:33But dad's words
00:27:34were like a key that
00:27:35that unlocked
00:27:36a locked door
00:27:37of my heart.
00:27:38Ah,
00:27:39why should I endure
00:27:40this injustice?
00:27:40Why should I watch them
00:27:41both live?
00:27:45What do you want to do?
00:27:46I raised my head
00:27:47and asked dad.
00:27:48It's very simple.
00:27:49Shan Jing Shan leaned back
00:27:50on the sofa.
00:27:51His eyes were
00:27:52as sharp as a hawk.
00:27:53First,
00:27:54ruined Xiao Chuan's
00:27:55academic reputation,
00:27:56then destroyed
00:27:57his family business,
00:27:58turned him from
00:27:59a shining star
00:28:00in the medical world
00:28:01into someone
00:28:02everyone looks down on.
00:28:03And as for Leon,
00:28:05he's so proud of himself,
00:28:07isn't he?
00:28:07He thinks his medical skills
00:28:08are superior,
00:28:09so I'll show him
00:28:10how much my son
00:28:11contributed
00:28:12to where he is today.
00:28:13Bye.
00:28:14If it weren't
00:28:15for the Shen family's support,
00:28:16he would be nothing.
00:28:17Lin Juan sitting nearby
00:28:19also spoke,
00:28:20quote,
00:28:20when he got the job
00:28:21at City Hospital,
00:28:21when he was made
00:28:23Associate Chief Physician,
00:28:24when he received
00:28:25so many national-level
00:28:26research projects,
00:28:27Amo was behind it all.
00:28:29You were the one
00:28:29who quietly asked us
00:28:30to help him.
00:28:31Now it's time
00:28:32to take back
00:28:33what we gave.
00:28:34I remained silent
00:28:35because it was all true.
00:28:37When Lou Ryan
00:28:38was being promoted
00:28:39to Associate Chief Physician,
00:28:40his competitors
00:28:41were constantly
00:28:42plotting against him.
00:28:43Then I secretly
00:28:44called dad
00:28:45and asked for his help.
00:28:47That's when all
00:28:48the obstacles
00:28:49were removed.
00:28:49His research projects
00:28:50had been rejected
00:28:51several times.
00:28:52Then,
00:28:53using the Shen family's
00:28:54resources,
00:28:54I secured her support
00:28:55from one of the best
00:28:56research teams
00:28:57in the country.
00:28:58I even had her
00:28:59application documents
00:29:00redrafted.
00:29:01Only then did she
00:29:02receive funding
00:29:02for the project.
00:29:04But I never told her
00:29:05any of this.
00:29:06I was afraid
00:29:06that if she found out
00:29:07the truth,
00:29:07she would think
00:29:08I was showing off
00:29:09my status.
00:29:10She would become
00:29:11even less interested in me
00:29:12and distance herself
00:29:13from me.
00:29:14But now,
00:29:15looking back,
00:29:16it seems like
00:29:16all my sacrifices
00:29:17and silent contributions
00:29:18were nothing in her eyes.
00:29:20As if it were
00:29:21all natural.
00:29:22As if they were worthless.
00:29:24After a long-silenced
00:29:26ad,
00:29:26I quietly said
00:29:27I want to
00:29:27handle this all myself.
00:29:29The lost,
00:29:29a dull expression
00:29:30in my eyes
00:29:31had vanished.
00:29:33In its place
00:29:34was a bright glow.
00:29:35I want to take charge
00:29:36of the Shen Group's
00:29:37medical division.
00:29:38A glint of surprise
00:29:39flashed in
00:29:40Shen Jishan's eyes.
00:29:41Then he burst out laughing.
00:29:43Okay,
00:29:43very good.
00:29:44This is what I've been
00:29:45waiting to hear
00:29:45for the past five years.
00:29:46All the Shen family's
00:29:47wealth is basically
00:29:48for you.
00:29:49If you want to
00:29:50handle this,
00:29:51your father
00:29:51will fully support you.
00:29:53Lin Juan's eyes
00:29:54also lit up with joy.
00:29:55Come on,
00:29:56whatever you want to do,
00:29:58mother is always with you.
00:29:59Finally,
00:29:59she could see her confident
00:30:00and shining son again.
00:30:03There's one more thing.
00:30:04I picked up the file
00:30:05on the table.
00:30:06My fingers stopped
00:30:07at the words written on it.
00:30:08Divorce agreement.
00:30:09The entire process
00:30:10of my divorce with Lion.
00:30:11Please let the lawyers
00:30:13handle it.
00:30:13I don't want to have
00:30:14any connection
00:30:15with him anymore.
00:30:16Shen Jim Shen nodded.
00:30:18Don't worry.
00:30:19We've already hired
00:30:20the best divorce lawyer
00:30:21team in the country.
00:30:22In the country.
00:30:22Liu Ryan won't get
00:30:23a single penny
00:30:24from the estate.
00:30:25Everything he's spent
00:30:26in the past five years
00:30:27was the Shen family's money.
00:30:29We won't ask him
00:30:30for that money back.
00:30:31That's a huge concession
00:30:32for him.
00:30:33That night,
00:30:33I stayed at the old house.
00:30:35Lying in my childhood room,
00:30:36I watched the moonlight
00:30:37stream in through the window.
00:30:38And after a long time,
00:30:40I slept peacefully.
00:30:41There was no lion.
00:30:43No passion.
00:30:44No restlessness.
00:30:45Just a peace
00:30:46I'd never felt before.
00:30:48Finally,
00:30:49I no longer had to chase
00:30:50after Liu Ryan.
00:30:51I could become Shen Mo again.
00:30:53The heir to the Shen family.
00:30:55The person who should shine
00:30:56in his own light.
00:30:58Meanwhile,
00:30:58in Edinburgh,
00:30:59England,
00:31:00Liu Ryan sat alone
00:31:01in an empty apartment
00:31:02all night.
00:31:03Just before dawn,
00:31:04she slowly
00:31:04got up from the sofa
00:31:06and stood near the table.
00:31:09Her eyes fell in the five gift boxes.
00:31:12Now she truly realized
00:31:14that Shen He was gone
00:31:15and perhaps this time forever.
00:31:17The realization fell on her chest
00:31:19like a heavy stone.
00:31:20It became difficult
00:31:21to even breathe.
00:31:22For 13 years,
00:31:23no matter how cold,
00:31:24distant,
00:31:25or harsh she had been with him,
00:31:27Shen He had always been there
00:31:28for her
00:31:29whenever she worked
00:31:30late into the night.
00:31:31No matter how late it got,
00:31:32there was always a light
00:31:33waiting for her in the house
00:31:35and a hot meal
00:31:36ready for her.
00:31:37When she returned home
00:31:38exhausted after a long surgery,
00:31:39she often fell asleep
00:31:40as soon as she arrived.
00:31:41Then Shen He would quietly
00:31:42take off her shoes,
00:31:44massage her stiff
00:31:45shoulders and neck.
00:31:46Even his breathing
00:31:47would slow down
00:31:48so as not to disturb her sleep.
00:31:50When her periods hurt,
00:31:51he would have
00:31:51molasses and ginger tea
00:31:53ready, ready.
00:31:54He would also keep
00:31:55a hot water bottle nearby
00:31:56and sit beside her
00:31:57all night
00:31:58caring for her.
00:31:59He would attend to her
00:32:00every need,
00:32:00big or small.
00:32:02He would treat her
00:32:02like a princess,
00:32:03says.
00:32:04But Liu Ryan
00:32:05always took it all
00:32:05for granted.
00:32:07She had become so consumed
00:32:08by his presence that
00:32:09she never considered
00:32:10the possibility
00:32:10that he might leave
00:32:11one day.
00:32:12She always believed
00:32:13that no matter
00:32:14how he treated her,
00:32:15Shen He
00:32:15would never leave her.
00:32:17He was like that
00:32:18safe haven behind her
00:32:20always there,
00:32:21always within her reach.
00:32:23But now that safe haven
00:32:24had vanished,
00:32:25Shen He was gone.
00:32:27There was no fight,
00:32:28no screaming,
00:32:30no accusation.
00:32:31He had simply
00:32:32disappeared from her world
00:32:33and that was the
00:32:34most terrifying thing.
00:32:36Liu Ryan felt a
00:32:37strange emptiness
00:32:38in her heart.
00:32:39With a terrible panic,
00:32:40she picked up the phone
00:32:41again and tried
00:32:43to call Shen Mo.
00:32:44But the same
00:32:45cold message appeared.
00:32:46The phone is off.
00:32:47The red exclamation mark
00:32:48on WeChat
00:32:49silently filled her eyes.
00:32:51She tried to find
00:32:52his friend's contacts.
00:32:53She thought about
00:32:54asking someone
00:32:55about Shen Mo.
00:32:56Then she realized.
00:32:57In the past five years,
00:32:59she had never
00:32:59been a part of
00:33:00Shen Mo's world.
00:33:01She didn't even have
00:33:02any of his friend's numbers.
00:33:04She knew very little
00:33:05about him.
00:33:06All she knew
00:33:07was that he was
00:33:07an architect.
00:33:08But what university
00:33:09did he go to?
00:33:10Who were his friends?
00:33:12What was his family like?
00:33:13She knew none of this
00:33:14because she never
00:33:15tried to find out
00:33:16and Shen Mo
00:33:18never forced it.
00:33:20He didn't even
00:33:21remember her birthday.
00:33:22Her gaze fell
00:33:23on a written
00:33:23gift box.
00:33:25She had already
00:33:26opened it.
00:33:27Now in her hand,
00:33:28she held the same
00:33:28cold metal cufflinks,
00:33:30their chills
00:33:30stinging her palm.
00:33:32She remembered
00:33:33how bright her eyes
00:33:34had been
00:33:34when Shen Mo
00:33:35had given her
00:33:35this gift
00:33:36on their
00:33:36first wedding anniversary.
00:33:38But what was she
00:33:39doing at that moment?
00:33:40She was chatting
00:33:41with Xiao Chan.
00:33:42Xiao Chan had told her
00:33:43that his research abroad
00:33:44had run into
00:33:45some difficulties.
00:33:46She was lost
00:33:46in that worry.
00:33:47She didn't even
00:33:48look at the gift
00:33:49box properly.
00:33:50Just coldly said,
00:33:52It's all a pretense.
00:33:53It doesn't matter.
00:33:54She didn't even
00:33:55remember the expression
00:33:56on Shen Mo's face
00:33:57at that time.
00:33:58Now thinking back,
00:33:59he must have been
00:34:00so disappointed,
00:34:01so broken,
00:34:02as if possessed
00:34:03by some invisible force,
00:34:05she picked up
00:34:05the second gift box
00:34:06and slowly opened it.
00:34:07Inside was a
00:34:08hand-woven red thread.
00:34:10Inside was a
00:34:11small jade protection
00:34:12amulet.
00:34:13Liu Ryan's eyes
00:34:14widened.
00:34:15In a blink of an eye,
00:34:16her eyes turned red.
00:34:17She remembered
00:34:18it was their
00:34:18second year of marriage.
00:34:20She had gone
00:34:21to a medical camp
00:34:22in a remote
00:34:22mountainous area.
00:34:23There was a
00:34:24sudden landslide.
00:34:25Her car had
00:34:26overturned down
00:34:27the hillside.
00:34:28Although she had
00:34:28only suffered
00:34:29minor injuries,
00:34:30when the news
00:34:31reached Shen He,
00:34:32he was almost mad.
00:34:34He drove all night
00:34:35and waited
00:34:35at the foot of the mountain
00:34:36for two days
00:34:37and two nights
00:34:38until she emerged.
00:34:39Zanak until she emerged.
00:34:41After that,
00:34:41he tied this
00:34:42same red thread
00:34:43around her wrist
00:34:44and said with a smile,
00:34:45I prayed for your safety
00:34:46at the temple.
00:34:47I prayed for you
00:34:47at the temple.
00:34:48But at the time,
00:34:49Liu Ryan had thought
00:34:49it uncomfortable
00:34:50to undergo surgery
00:34:51while wearing it.
00:34:51And frankly,
00:34:52he even found it
00:34:53a bit unsightly.
00:34:54Yeah.
00:34:55Two days later,
00:34:56he took it off
00:34:56and threw it in a drawer.
00:34:58He never wore it again.
00:35:00He even got angry
00:35:01at Shen Mo,
00:35:02calling her superstitious
00:35:03and accusing her
00:35:04of interfering
00:35:05with his work.
00:35:06He had thought
00:35:07the thread would have
00:35:08been thrown away
00:35:08long ago,
00:35:09but he never imagined
00:35:11that Shen Mo
00:35:12had kept it safe
00:35:12for so many years,
00:35:14had brought it with him
00:35:15so carefully
00:35:16all the way to England
00:35:17and placed it in this gift box.
00:35:19Liu Ryan held the red thread.
00:35:21Her fingers trembled violently.
00:35:23The thread was as good
00:35:24as new.
00:35:25There wasn't a single sign
00:35:26of wearing tear on it.
00:35:27This was enough
00:35:28to prove how carefully
00:35:29Shen Mo
00:35:30had made her comfortable.
00:35:32But she never,
00:35:33even bothered,
00:35:34to glance at it.
00:35:35Her heart felt
00:35:36as if an invisible hand
00:35:37had gripped her tightly.
00:35:39A wave of suffocation
00:35:40and pain spread
00:35:41through her body.
00:35:42Just then,
00:35:43the doorbell rang.
00:35:44The Uruoian
00:35:44suddenly regained consciousness.
00:35:45She wiped away tears
00:35:46from the corners of her eyes.
00:35:47Then she got up
00:35:48and opened the door.
00:35:49There stood Shou Chan.
00:35:51Breakfast in his hand.
00:35:52A gentle smile
00:35:53on his face as always.
00:35:54Rui Yan,
00:35:55I brought you breakfast.
00:35:57You didn't reply
00:35:58to my message last night.
00:35:59I was a little worried
00:36:00before whenever she saw
00:36:01Shou Chan smiling like that.
00:36:03Her heart would fill
00:36:04with warmth.
00:36:06But today,
00:36:07she felt unreasonably irritated.
00:36:09Come in,
00:36:09he said,
00:36:10stepping aside.
00:36:11His voice lacked
00:36:12the warmth
00:36:12it had always had before.
00:36:14It was cold.
00:36:15Shou Chan came in
00:36:16and immediately noticed
00:36:17the two open gift boxes
00:36:19on the table.
00:36:20Also the red thread
00:36:21in Liu Rui Yan's hand.
00:36:22She frowned slightly.
00:36:24What is this?
00:36:25Shen left it behind.
00:36:26Liu Rui Yan silently shook her head.
00:36:28Then without another word,
00:36:29put the red thread
00:36:30back in the gift box.
00:36:32Rui Yan,
00:36:32don't worry so much.
00:36:33Shou Chan placed the breakfast
00:36:34on the table
00:36:35and came over,
00:36:36extending his hand
00:36:37to embrace her.
00:36:38Shen is just a little upset.
00:36:39Everything will be fine
00:36:40in a couple of days.
00:36:41He's been chasing you
00:36:42for so many years.
00:36:43He won't give up
00:36:44just like that,
00:36:45but Liu Rui Yan
00:36:46unconsciously took a step back.
00:36:48Shan's hand froze,
00:36:49midair.
00:36:50A look of surprise
00:36:51appeared in her eyes.
00:36:52In all these years
00:36:53of knowing her,
00:36:54even though Liu Rui Yan
00:36:55was obsessed
00:36:56with cleanliness,
00:36:58he had never avoided
00:36:59her touch like this.
00:37:00Rui Yan,
00:37:00what's wrong?
00:37:01She asked in a confused tone.
00:37:03Nothing.
00:37:04Liu Rui Yan nodded
00:37:05and went to sit on the sofa.
00:37:06I'm just a little tired.
00:37:08The sight of Sha Oken
00:37:09suddenly brought back
00:37:10memories of that rainy night.
00:37:13That night,
00:37:13Shao Chuan had told her
00:37:14that he was afraid
00:37:15of thunder and lightning.
00:37:17That's why he wanted
00:37:18to stay with her.
00:37:19She had thought
00:37:19Shen Ma's would be asleep.
00:37:22But he was awake,
00:37:23lying quietly in bed,
00:37:25listening to her excuses
00:37:27to spend time
00:37:27with another man.
00:37:29How much despair
00:37:30must have filled his heart
00:37:31at that moment.
00:37:32Then she remembered
00:37:33the scene outside
00:37:33the research institute
00:37:34where she had bent down
00:37:36to take off
00:37:36Shao Chuan's
00:37:37soaked shoes and socks.
00:37:38Her voice was so gentle,
00:37:40it could melt
00:37:40anyone's heart.
00:37:42And at that moment,
00:37:43there stood she.
00:37:44In his hands,
00:37:45he held the roses
00:37:46he had brought for her.
00:37:47They were completely soaked.
00:37:49Like an outsider,
00:37:50he silently watched
00:37:51as the tenderness
00:37:52and love he had always desired
00:37:54was being received
00:37:54by someone else,
00:37:56Shao.
00:37:56He even told her
00:37:57in Spanish
00:37:58that Shen Mo
00:37:58was just a use
00:38:00whether he was
00:38:00worthy or not
00:38:01didn't matter.
00:38:03Only now did
00:38:04Lian understand
00:38:05how deeply he had hurt
00:38:06Shen Mo
00:38:07Rui Anshan
00:38:07sat down
00:38:08next to him.
00:38:13The organizers
00:38:14have sent me an invitation.
00:38:15I've told them
00:38:16I'll take you with me.
00:38:17We'll perform
00:38:18on stage together.
00:38:19This will be
00:38:20a great opportunity
00:38:21for your international
00:38:21medical career.
00:38:26Lian looked at him
00:38:27but her heart remained
00:38:27academic reputation,
00:38:29international recognition,
00:38:30respect in the medical world.
00:38:32These were the most
00:38:32important things to her.
00:38:33For all of these,
00:38:34she had ignored
00:38:35Shen Mo's feelings.
00:38:36She had sacrificed
00:38:37her marriage
00:38:38and accepted
00:38:39Shen Mo's sacrifice
00:38:40without any guilt.
00:38:41She wanted to pursue
00:38:42her so-called ideals
00:38:44but now
00:38:45she had no interest
00:38:46in any of these things.
00:38:47I won't go.
00:38:48She slowly shook her head.
00:38:51Was Shao-Chan stunned?
00:38:52This was an opportunity
00:38:53many people
00:38:54yearned for.
00:38:55I'm not interested.
00:38:57Liu Rian said flatly,
00:38:58I want to go back
00:38:59to China.
00:39:00I have to find Shen Mo.
00:39:02I have to apologize to him.
00:39:03I have to explain everything
00:39:04and bring him back.
00:39:06I can't lose him.
00:39:07Shao-Chan's face
00:39:08instantly changed.
00:39:09Back to China.
00:39:10Back to Shen Mo, Brian.
00:39:11Don't forget that
00:39:12you chose to stay in England
00:39:14and be with me.
00:39:15What's the point
00:39:16of returning to him now?
00:39:17You two have been married
00:39:18for five years.
00:39:19I have to go back
00:39:20and clear everything up.
00:39:22Liu Rian's voice
00:39:22was tinged with irritation.
00:39:24I have to clear everything up?
00:39:25Shaan's voice rose.
00:39:27What more could he say?
00:39:28He left without another word.
00:39:30It was clear
00:39:30he didn't want to continue
00:39:31this marriage.
00:39:32Going after him
00:39:33and pleading now
00:39:33is just belittling himself.
00:39:35When did you become so humble?
00:39:37Yu Yan looked at her.
00:39:38And suddenly,
00:39:39Shaan felt very strange.
00:39:41Because for all these years,
00:39:42he had always stood
00:39:43on a pedestal
00:39:44in front of Shen Mo.
00:39:45He was always the one
00:39:46who was pampered and valued.
00:39:48He had never learned
00:39:48to be humble.
00:39:50But Shen,
00:39:51after Mo left,
00:39:53Liu Rian understood
00:39:53for the first time
00:39:54what it was like
00:39:54to be a babe
00:39:55and how small
00:39:56it felt to be
00:39:56in front of someone.
00:39:58This is my personal matter,
00:39:59she said coldly.
00:40:00It's none of your business.
00:40:01Now go back.
00:40:03I want to be alone.
00:40:04Shaan looked at her cold face.
00:40:07Anger was boiling inside her.
00:40:09But finally,
00:40:10she controlled herself.
00:40:12He stood up,
00:40:13adjusted his suit,
00:40:14and said in a soft voice,
00:40:15Okay,
00:40:16I won't force you.
00:40:17But think carefully.
00:40:19Don't make a decision.
00:40:20You'll regret later.
00:40:22With that,
00:40:22he left
00:40:23as soon as the door closed.
00:40:25Liu Rian couldn't
00:40:26control herself anymore.
00:40:27She collapsed on the sofa,
00:40:28tears welling up in her eyes.
00:40:30With trembling hands,
00:40:31she picked up
00:40:32the gift box
00:40:32marked day three.
00:40:33She slowly opened it.
00:40:35Inside was a photo album.
00:40:37As she opened it,
00:40:38her hand froze.
00:40:39The entire album
00:40:40was filled with photos of her.
00:40:42Her concentrated face
00:40:43during surgery.
00:40:44The photo of her falling asleep
00:40:45on the sofa exhausted from her.
00:40:46Her triumphant smile
00:40:47on the award stage.
00:40:48The rice cake
00:40:49sticking to her lips
00:40:50while eating.
00:40:51Lying curled up in bed
00:40:52in period pain.
00:40:54Staring lostly out
00:40:55the window
00:40:55from their
00:40:56first meeting
00:40:57to their fifth
00:40:57year of marriage.
00:40:59Thirteen years of memories,
00:41:01almost every important moment
00:41:02of her life.
00:41:03Shenmue had silently
00:41:04captured them on camera,
00:41:05then carefully preserved them.
00:41:07In this album,
00:41:08beneath each photo
00:41:08was a small note.
00:41:10The date
00:41:11and her feelings
00:41:12that day.
00:41:14September 15, 2013,
00:41:15to Nesahara
00:41:15for the first time
00:41:16at the scene of a car accident.
00:41:17She was busy
00:41:17saving the lives
00:41:18of the injured.
00:41:19Her eyes
00:41:20shone like stars.
00:41:21Perhaps that was the moment
00:41:22my heart beat for her.
00:41:24March, 2015.
00:41:25Today she smiled at me
00:41:26for the first time.
00:41:28Though it was just
00:41:29a courtesy smile,
00:41:30I was still happy.
00:41:31All night.
00:41:31Duh-back.
00:41:32October 7, 2018.
00:41:34Today she accepted
00:41:35my proposal.
00:41:37I married the girl
00:41:38I love.
00:41:39I will take care of her
00:41:40for the rest of my life.
00:41:422019.
00:41:43Our first wedding anniversary.
00:41:44I bought her a cufflink.
00:41:46She didn't like it.
00:41:47No matter.
00:41:48I'll search further
00:41:49little by little.
00:41:50One day,
00:41:51I'll definitely find
00:41:51something she'll like.
00:41:532020.
00:41:54She went to a medical camp.
00:41:56There was a landslide.
00:41:57I was very scared.
00:41:58As long as she's safe,
00:42:00nothing else matters.
00:42:012021.
00:42:02I prepared a gift
00:42:03for her birthday.
00:42:04But she was working overtime
00:42:06and didn't return home.
00:42:07The cake got ruined.
00:42:08No problem.
00:42:09We'll celebrate
00:42:10again next year.
00:42:112022.
00:42:11Our fifth wedding anniversary.
00:42:13She went to England
00:42:14on a business trip.
00:42:15I missed her so much.
00:42:17I want to go to England
00:42:18and surprise her.
00:42:19And then,
00:42:20the last note of the album.
00:42:22Edinburgh.
00:42:232023.
00:42:23A rainy night.
00:42:25She doesn't love me.
00:42:26Even after 13 years,
00:42:27I haven't been able
00:42:28to win her heart.
00:42:29My heart is tired.
00:42:32Leanne kept turning each page.
00:42:34Tears kept falling.
00:42:35The ink blurred
00:42:36and for the first time
00:42:36she realized
00:42:37how deeply Shenmue
00:42:38had loved her
00:42:39for 13 years.
00:42:41She had never realized
00:42:42that Shenmue
00:42:43had loved her so deeply
00:42:44for 13 years.
00:42:46In places like this,
00:42:48the ones she never got to see.
00:42:49The marriage
00:42:50she always considered hollow.
00:42:52The relationship
00:42:52she considered only feeling.
00:42:54It was all just
00:42:54her own misunderstanding.
00:42:56Shenmue never expressed
00:42:57all his love in words.
00:42:58He hid it in small gestures
00:43:00for 13 years.
00:43:02But Lurian never tried
00:43:03to lean in
00:43:04and see those feelings.
00:43:05Now she finally understood.
00:43:07She hadn't just lost
00:43:09the man
00:43:09who pursued her
00:43:10for 13 years.
00:43:12She had lost
00:43:13the person in whose eyes
00:43:14she alone lived
00:43:15who considered her.
00:43:16his entire world
00:43:17and who was perhaps
00:43:19the last person
00:43:20in the world
00:43:20to love her unconditionally.
00:43:22The news of Shen
00:43:23taking charge
00:43:23of the Shen Group's
00:43:24medical and healthcare division
00:43:25sent shockwaves
00:43:26throughout Beijing's
00:43:26medical community.
00:43:28It even became
00:43:29a national topic
00:43:30of discussion.
00:43:31Everyone knew
00:43:32that the Shen Group's
00:43:33sole heir
00:43:33had been missing
00:43:34for five years.
00:43:36Living a life
00:43:36like an ordinary person.
00:43:38But now,
00:43:39he had suddenly returned
00:43:40and as soon as he arrived,
00:43:41he had taken charge
00:43:42of one of the group's
00:43:43most important departments.
00:43:45It was clear
00:43:46he knew he was about
00:43:47to do something big.
00:43:47On his very first day
00:43:49at the company,
00:43:49Shenmue called a meeting
00:43:50of all the senior executives.
00:43:51He sat at the top
00:43:52of the conference room
00:43:53in a specially tailored
00:43:54expensive suit.
00:43:56His eyes were sharp.
00:43:57His thoughts clear.
00:43:59He listened attentively
00:44:00to department reports
00:44:01and the questions he asked
00:44:02were so precise
00:44:03that no one believed
00:44:04this was the same man
00:44:06who had been
00:44:06away from the family business
00:44:07for five years.
00:44:09Initially,
00:44:09many executives thought
00:44:10the young boss
00:44:11had come just to fulfill
00:44:12a formality.
00:44:13But by the end of the meeting,
00:44:14everyone's opinion had changed.
00:44:16They realized
00:44:16that Chairman Shen's son
00:44:18had never been
00:44:18a spoiled rich boy.
00:44:20He had simply
00:44:21fallen in love.
00:44:22And now that he had awakened,
00:44:24his true potential
00:44:24was beginning to emerge.
00:44:26After the meeting,
00:44:27Shenmue called
00:44:28the chief risk officer
00:44:29and the director
00:44:30of the legal department
00:44:31into his office.
00:44:32I need complete information
00:44:33about Shen
00:44:34and the Chan pharmaceutical group
00:44:35behind him.
00:44:38He sat behind his desk
00:44:39lightly tapping the table
00:44:40with his fingers.
00:44:42His voice was calm,
00:44:43but there was a pressure in it
00:44:44that couldn't be ignored.
00:44:46He could have gone,
00:44:47especially all their dark deeds,
00:44:48academic fraud,
00:44:49business irregularities,
00:44:50and financial problems.
00:44:52And financial problems.
00:44:53I need everything.
00:44:55Three days will be enough,
00:44:56sir.
00:44:56The chief risk officer
00:44:57asked immediately then.
00:44:59Without waiting,
00:44:59said,
00:45:00Actually,
00:45:00Chairman Shen has already
00:45:01given the order.
00:45:02We've already started
00:45:03gathering information.
00:45:05Almost everything is ready.
00:45:06I'll bring it right away.
00:45:07Shenmue simply nodded.
00:45:09His face was emotionless.
00:45:10He was no saint.
00:45:12He wasn't about to let go
00:45:13of the humiliation and pain
00:45:15Shen and Leon
00:45:16had inflicted on him.
00:45:17He wanted to show them
00:45:18the true meaning of power
00:45:20and the heavy price
00:45:21of challenging some people
00:45:23e some people.
00:45:24Soon,
00:45:25a thick stack of documents
00:45:26was placed on his desk.
00:45:27Shenmue began flipping
00:45:28through each page.
00:45:29Slowly,
00:45:30a cold smile formed
00:45:31on his lips.
00:45:32The air.
00:45:32Two shot
00:45:33to John Pharmaceuticals
00:45:34had secured.
00:45:35His prestigious job
00:45:36as a researcher
00:45:36at the Edelope Medical Research Institute,
00:45:38largely due to his family's influence.
00:45:41On the outside,
00:45:42he presented himself
00:45:43as a medical genius.
00:45:44But the truth was something else.
00:45:46His papers published
00:45:47in prestigious international journals
00:45:48were garbled.
00:45:49Many research papers
00:45:50contained serious flaws.
00:45:51The results of many experiments
00:45:53were unrepeatable.
00:45:54Some studies even plagiarized
00:45:56other people's work.
00:45:57The situation in the business sector
00:45:59was even worse.
00:46:00Clinical trial data
00:46:01for several of Chua Pharmaceuticals'
00:46:03key drugs
00:46:03had been manipulated.
00:46:04Marketing approvals
00:46:05had been obtained
00:46:06by bribing regulatory officials.
00:46:08The company engaged in
00:46:09tax evasion
00:46:11falsified financial records,
00:46:12inflated revenue figures,
00:46:14and profited
00:46:14from the stock market guard.
00:46:17Some of the drugs
00:46:18had even caused
00:46:18serious side effects
00:46:19in patients.
00:46:20But these cases
00:46:21were hushed up with bribes.
00:46:23Each of these documents
00:46:24was evidence
00:46:25that could completely destroy
00:46:27Shan's reputation
00:46:28and land him in prison.
00:46:30Shen Mo closed the file
00:46:31with a wry smile.
00:46:35Looking at the legal director,
00:46:36he said,
00:46:37quote, quote,
00:46:37the first step
00:46:38is to send the concrete evidence
00:46:39of the fraud
00:46:40in his research papers
00:46:41to the editorial offices
00:46:42of major medical journals
00:46:43as well as to the
00:46:44Ethics Committee
00:46:45of the Edinburgh Medical Institute
00:46:46and simultaneously
00:46:46reported to the
00:46:47International Medical Forum
00:46:48and the International Medical Forum
00:46:50expose him anonymously
00:46:51on academic platforms.
00:46:52His voice was ice cold.
00:46:54I want this so-called
00:46:55medical genius's reputation
00:46:56to be shattered overnight
00:46:58and the whole world
00:46:59to know him
00:47:00as an academic fraud.
00:47:01The legal director
00:47:02immediately stood up.
00:47:03Yes, Mr. Shen,
00:47:04I'll make arrangements right now.
00:47:06Step two.
00:47:07She opened the next document,
00:47:09hand over all evidence
00:47:10of tax evasion
00:47:11and falsified clinical data
00:47:12to the relevant departments
00:47:13in China and Britain.
00:47:14Also,
00:47:15activate our European partners.
00:47:17They should take
00:47:20cut off the supply chain
00:47:21and end
00:47:23all business cooperation.
00:47:24There was no mercy
00:47:25left in his eyes
00:47:26because this time,
00:47:27Shen wasn't just
00:47:28a wounded lover.
00:47:29He was the heir
00:47:30to the Shen family.
00:47:31Shen's voice
00:47:32was still calm,
00:47:33but his every word
00:47:34held the power of thunder.
00:47:36I want two of pharmaceuticals
00:47:37to go completely bankrupt
00:47:38within a month
00:47:39and have its assets
00:47:40auctioned off.
00:47:41Get him.
00:47:41Auctioned off.
00:47:42Step three.
00:47:44Find out which officials
00:47:45chew of pharmaceuticals bribed.
00:47:47What illegal means
00:47:49did they use
00:47:49to enter the European market?
00:47:51M.
00:47:51The evidence should be handed over
00:47:53to the relevant departments.
00:47:54Shen Mo's eyes
00:47:55turned ice cold.
00:47:57I wish Shao Han and Dean
00:47:58Tire Corp's family
00:47:59standing behind him
00:48:00never had the chance
00:48:01to stand together again.
00:48:02After making all the arrangements,
00:48:04the legal director
00:48:04and risk control officer
00:48:06quickly left.
00:48:07Only Shen Mo was left alone
00:48:09in the office.
00:48:09He got up and stood in front
00:48:11of the huge floor-to-ceiling
00:48:12glass window.
00:48:13He could see
00:48:14the busy city streets below.
00:48:16His deep gaze
00:48:17was lost somewhere
00:48:17in the distance,
00:48:18lost in the endless
00:48:19lines of cars.
00:48:20Just then,
00:48:21his phone rang.
00:48:22A name flashed on the screen,
00:48:23Sunyan Amo.
00:48:24He said,
00:48:25Work was finished.
00:48:26Saching and soft voice
00:48:27came from the other end
00:48:28of the phone.
00:48:28I'm downstairs at your company.
00:48:30I've brought you lunch,
00:48:31Shee.
00:48:33If you're busy,
00:48:33I'll come up.
00:48:34A smile involuntarily
00:48:35appeared on Shen Mo's lips.
00:48:37The coldness in his eyes
00:48:38vanished instantly.
00:48:40No,
00:48:40I'll come down myself.
00:48:42After hanging up,
00:48:43he headed straight
00:48:43for the elevator.
00:48:45Su Ching-un was standing
00:48:46in the company lobby.
00:48:47She was wearing
00:48:47a neat white suit,
00:48:48a lunchbox.
00:48:49In her hand,
00:48:50her long hair
00:48:51was tied up.
00:48:52A gentle and intelligent
00:48:54aura emanated
00:48:55from her entire being.
00:48:56As soon as she saw
00:48:57Shen Mo,
00:48:58she smiled and waved.
00:48:59Shen Mo quickly
00:49:00rushed over
00:49:01and took the lunchbox
00:49:02from her hand.
00:49:03How did you suddenly
00:49:04end up here?
00:49:05Saching and smiled.
00:49:06Auntie told me,
00:49:07It was your first day
00:49:08at the company.
00:49:09I knew you'd be so busy
00:49:10working that you'd
00:49:11forget to eat.
00:49:13Coincidentally,
00:49:14I had work nearby,
00:49:15so I brought you
00:49:16home-cooked food.
00:49:17All your childhood
00:49:18favorites.
00:49:19They both took
00:49:20the elevator up.
00:49:21Reaching the CO's office,
00:49:22Sun Yan opened
00:49:23the boxes one by one.
00:49:24Four dishes
00:49:25and the soup.
00:49:26Everything was
00:49:26Shen Mo's favorite.
00:49:28The aroma filled the room.
00:49:30Taste it,
00:49:30let's see if my cooking
00:49:31went wrong.
00:49:32Shen Mo picked up
00:49:33a chopstick
00:49:33and put a bite
00:49:34in his mouth.
00:49:35The familiar taste
00:49:36melted in his mouth,
00:49:37warming his heart.
00:49:39It's so delicious,
00:49:40just like when he was a child.
00:49:42Saching and his eyes
00:49:42lit up with a smile.
00:49:44If it's good,
00:49:45eat more.
00:49:46You've gotten quite thin
00:49:47these past few days.
00:49:48If you eat properly,
00:49:49if you don't eat,
00:49:50auntie will be worried again.
00:49:51He paused for a moment
00:49:52and asked softly,
00:49:53How's everything going
00:49:53at the company?
00:49:54If you need any help,
00:49:55let me know.
00:49:57Dad said that
00:49:58Super War will always
00:49:59stand by you.
00:50:00Super was one of
00:50:01Beijing's oldest
00:50:01and most prestigious
00:50:02financial families
00:50:03and a close friend
00:50:04of the Shen family
00:50:05for years.
00:50:06Their main business
00:50:07was investment.
00:50:08Their financial strength
00:50:09was immense.
00:50:09As for Sun,
00:50:10he was a top investment
00:50:12expert just returned
00:50:13from Wall Street.
00:50:14No one doubted
00:50:15his ability.
00:50:17Shen Mo looked at him.
00:50:18His heart swelled
00:50:19with gratitude.
00:50:20Thank you,
00:50:21Kinyan.
00:50:21Everything is going
00:50:22well right now.
00:50:23If needed,
00:50:24I won't hesitate
00:50:25to help you at all.
00:50:26Why so much formality?
00:50:28Suchingen smiled
00:50:29and placed a bowl of soup
00:50:30in front of him.
00:50:31Finish your meal first.
00:50:32It'll get cold.
00:50:34Watching Shimo
00:50:34take another bite,
00:50:35Suchigan felt
00:50:36both satisfaction
00:50:37and pain.
00:50:38He could finally see
00:50:39the old,
00:50:40confident
00:50:41Shen Mo back,
00:50:42but he also knew
00:50:44that the wound
00:50:44in his heart
00:50:45hadn't completely healed.
00:50:47Some wounds take time.
00:50:48He couldn't heal his wounds.
00:50:49He could have,
00:50:50but he could have
00:50:51stood by him.
00:50:52He could have helped
00:50:53him gradually fill them.
00:50:54At that very moment,
00:50:56a huge storm
00:50:56had erupted
00:50:57in Edinburgh, England.
00:50:58First,
00:50:59the academic fraud scandal
00:51:00broke, broke.
00:51:01The Shen family's team
00:51:02made public
00:51:03all the solid evidence
00:51:04against Shou Chan
00:51:04on fake data,
00:51:06falsified research results,
00:51:07falsified research results,
00:51:08and many other
00:51:09serious irregularities.
00:51:11Internationally renowned
00:51:11medical journals
00:51:12immediately launched
00:51:13an investigation.
00:51:14As soon as the evidence
00:51:15was confirmed,
00:51:15all research papers
00:51:16were withdrawn
00:51:16one after another.
00:51:18Shou Chan was
00:51:18permanently blacklisted.
00:51:20It was decided
00:51:21not to accept
00:51:21any of his research papers
00:51:22in the future.
00:51:24Immediately,
00:51:25the Ethics Committee
00:51:25of the Edinburgh
00:51:26Medical Research Institute
00:51:27also issued a notice.
00:51:28All his research activities
00:51:29were suspended and
00:51:30a special investigation
00:51:32committee was formed.
00:51:33Within just one night,
00:51:34the man,
00:51:34once hailed as a medical genius,
00:51:36became the biggest fraud
00:51:38in the academic world.
00:51:39Medical institutions
00:51:40worldwide distanced
00:51:41themselves from him.
00:51:42Old collaborative projects
00:51:43were cancelled.
00:51:44Criticism began everywhere.
00:51:46Shou Chan was
00:51:47completely panicked.
00:51:48He constantly called
00:51:49professors and heads
00:51:49of institutes.
00:51:50He kept calling.
00:51:51But no one answered
00:51:52his calls.
00:51:53Some even blocked him.
00:51:55His reputation,
00:51:56built over years
00:51:57of hard work,
00:51:58was destroyed overnight,
00:51:59I'd.
00:51:59But this was just
00:52:00the beginning.
00:52:01He hadn't even recovered
00:52:02from the shock
00:52:03of the academic scandal.
00:52:04When another blow struck,
00:52:05the UK tax department
00:52:06and drug regulatory agencies
00:52:08launched a simultaneous
00:52:08crackdown.
00:52:09The British branch
00:52:10of Chua Pharmaceuticals
00:52:11was suddenly raided.
00:52:12All the company's
00:52:13financial records
00:52:14were confiscated.
00:52:15Drug samples were taken.
00:52:17All clinical trial data
00:52:18was seized.
00:52:19Then,
00:52:20one after another,
00:52:21new scandals surfaced.
00:52:22Falsified data,
00:52:23tax evasion,
00:52:24commercial bribery,
00:52:25financial fraud.
00:52:26Everything became public.
00:52:27That very day,
00:52:28Chua Pharmaceuticals
00:52:29shares plummeted.
00:52:30The share price plummeted
00:52:32by nearly 70%.
00:52:33The market was shaken,
00:52:34and the company's future
00:52:36appeared bleak.
00:52:37Countless investors
00:52:38panicked
00:52:39and began selling
00:52:40their shares.
00:52:41Partner companies
00:52:41announced the end
00:52:42of collaborations
00:52:43one after another.
00:52:45Banks also began
00:52:46demanding repayments
00:52:47and early repayments.
00:52:49In just one night,
00:52:50Chan Pharmaceuticals'
00:52:52cash flow
00:52:52completely collapsed.
00:52:53Even its headquarters
00:52:54in China
00:52:54was left unscathed.
00:52:55The Drug Regulatory Authority,
00:52:57the Tax Department,
00:52:58and the Securities
00:52:58and Exchange Commission
00:52:59launched simultaneous
00:53:00investigations.
00:53:01The company's factories
00:53:02were sealed.
00:53:03Medicines were removed
00:53:04from the market.
00:53:04Bank accounts were frozen.
00:53:06Chua's father also
00:53:07suffered a devastating blow.
00:53:09In just one night,
00:53:09his hair turned gray,
00:53:10and he had to be
00:53:11hospitalized urgently.
00:53:14Within a week,
00:53:15the once-illustrious
00:53:16Chan Pharmaceuticals
00:53:17was on the verge
00:53:18of bankruptcy.
00:53:19The Shawan family,
00:53:21once a prominent
00:53:21social figure,
00:53:22was now a shattered family
00:53:24mired in debt.
00:53:25Shawan was utterly devastated.
00:53:27He locked himself
00:53:28in his apartment
00:53:28breaking everything,
00:53:30in his room,
00:53:30like a mad animal.
00:53:32He couldn't understand
00:53:33who he had offended
00:53:34and why such a terrible disaster
00:53:36had suddenly befallen him.
00:53:39Then his lawyer called.
00:53:40His voice was filled
00:53:41with despair.
00:53:42Mr. Shah,
00:53:43we found out
00:53:44that the one
00:53:45taking action against us
00:53:46is the Shen Group of China.
00:53:48The Shen Group orchestrated
00:53:50all the revelations.
00:53:51We can't compete with them.
00:53:53The Shen Group's strength
00:53:54is one hundred times
00:53:55greater than ours.
00:53:56We have no chance
00:53:57of retaliating.
00:53:59Shen was stunned.
00:54:00His eyes widened
00:54:01in disbelief.
00:54:02Which Shen Group?
00:54:03When did I offend them?
00:54:05The lawyer replied
00:54:05in a trembling voice.
00:54:06The Shen family in Beijing
00:54:08started out in real estate
00:54:09and finance,
00:54:10one of the country's
00:54:10largest business
00:54:12conglomerate's aunts.
00:54:13Their heir,
00:54:14Shenmo,
00:54:15Shen's pupils,
00:54:16shrank.
00:54:17His blood seemed to freeze
00:54:19in an instant.
00:54:20He suddenly remembered
00:54:21that rainy night
00:54:22in Edinburgh.
00:54:23The same man
00:54:24who stood holding
00:54:25a bouquet of drenched roses.
00:54:27Looking humble
00:54:28and ordinary.
00:54:29The one he had mocked
00:54:30in Spanish,
00:54:30the one he had said
00:54:32was unworthy
00:54:32of Liu Aliu Ryan.
00:54:34That man was actually
00:54:35the heir
00:54:36to the Shen Group.
00:54:37Shan's strength
00:54:38was drained
00:54:38from his legs.
00:54:39He fell to the ground
00:54:40with a thud.
00:54:41His face went
00:54:42as white as a rag.
00:54:43He finally understood
00:54:44who he had challenged.
00:54:46The thing he cared
00:54:47about most,
00:54:48she was proud.
00:54:49Her talent,
00:54:49her family,
00:54:50her business,
00:54:51her reputation,
00:54:52all of them
00:54:53were nothing
00:54:54in the eyes
00:54:54of the Shen family.
00:54:55They were mere ants.
00:54:57It could be crushed
00:54:57at any moment.
00:54:59Just then,
00:54:59the door opened.
00:55:00Lian stood at the door.
00:55:02Her face paled
00:55:03at the sight
00:55:03of the broken thing
00:55:04scattered around the room
00:55:05and the scoundrel
00:55:06Xiao Chua.
00:55:06She now knew everything.
00:55:08Xiao Chua's
00:55:09academic fraud,
00:55:10the collapse
00:55:11of Xiao Pharmaceuticals,
00:55:12the destruction
00:55:13of the Xiao family,
00:55:14and behind it all,
00:55:15Shen Motha.
00:55:16She had finally
00:55:17discovered the
00:55:17true identity
00:55:18of the man
00:55:19she'd spent
00:55:20five years
00:55:20married to.
00:55:22The man she'd
00:55:23always thought
00:55:23was a mere architect,
00:55:24a man she didn't
00:55:25even consider
00:55:26worthy of her.
00:55:28But the truth was,
00:55:29he was the sole heir
00:55:31to one of the country's
00:55:31most powerful business
00:55:32families.
00:55:33She remembered
00:55:34how she and Xiao Kuan
00:55:36had mocked him
00:55:36in Spanish-ish,
00:55:38how she'd always been
00:55:39cold and contemptuous
00:55:40towards her,
00:55:41how she'd mistaken
00:55:42Shaman most selfless love
00:55:43for her
00:55:44and lavished
00:55:45all her affection
00:55:46on Xiao Kuan.
00:55:47She felt as if
00:55:48someone had repeatedly
00:55:49hit her in the face.
00:55:50You slapped me.
00:55:51Her face was
00:55:52her heart was filled
00:55:53with shame and remorse.
00:55:55Seeing him,
00:55:56Xiao Chuan
00:55:56ran towards her
00:55:57like a drowning man
00:55:58clutching,
00:55:59sort of a straw.
00:56:00He staggered to her
00:56:02and held her hand
00:56:03tightly.
00:56:04Help me.
00:56:05Go and beg
00:56:06Shen Mo,
00:56:07tell him.
00:56:07Tell him he go.
00:56:10You're his wife.
00:56:11He'll definitely
00:56:12listen to you.
00:56:13Please talk to him
00:56:14for me.
00:56:15The Anne
00:56:16looked at him
00:56:17at the man
00:56:18she once
00:56:19idolized.
00:56:19But now,
00:56:21Xiao Huan standing
00:56:21before her
00:56:22looked utterly pitiful
00:56:23and only one feeling
00:56:23arose in her heart.
00:56:26Deep irony.
00:56:27This was the white
00:56:28moonlight she had all
00:56:29always yearned
00:56:29for the man
00:56:30she had hurt.
00:56:31Shen Mo to be with.
00:56:34But at the slightest
00:56:35trouble,
00:56:35he became so cowardly
00:56:37and helpless.
00:56:38Liu Rian jerked
00:56:39her hand away,
00:56:40her eyes.
00:56:40Cold.
00:56:41She stared straight
00:56:43at Xiao Chuan
00:56:43and said,
00:56:44Xiao Chuan,
00:56:45don't you understand yet?
00:56:46Why did Shen Mo
00:56:47take action against you?
00:56:48You did his own.
00:56:49You ruined 13 years
00:56:50of love.
00:56:50You ruined his
00:56:51five-year marriage.
00:56:52Do you really think
00:56:53he'll listen to me?
00:56:54So what should we do now?
00:56:56What should we do?
00:56:57Shen was completely
00:56:58devastated.
00:56:58He sat on the ground
00:56:59covering his face
00:57:01with his hands
00:57:01and sobbed
00:57:02like a child.
00:57:03I'm ruined.
00:57:04Have mercy on me.
00:57:06Li Rian looked at him.
00:57:07And in that instant,
00:57:08the last remaining hope
00:57:09in her heart vanished.
00:57:10She turned
00:57:11and left the apartment
00:57:12without a backward glance.
00:57:13She was going back
00:57:14to China.
00:57:15After finishing
00:57:16all the things
00:57:16she'd planned to do
00:57:17in England,
00:57:17to find Shen Mo
00:57:18to apologize to him,
00:57:19to atone for her sins,
00:57:20to atone for her sins
00:57:21and to tell him
00:57:22she now understood
00:57:23her mistake
00:57:23and ask him
00:57:24for another chance.
00:57:25And after finishing
00:57:25all the things in England,
00:57:26Liu Rian bought a ticket
00:57:27for the first flight
00:57:27back to China.
00:57:28Before leaving,
00:57:28she opened the remaining
00:57:29two gift boxes.
00:57:31A box marked day four.
00:57:33Inside was a men's ring.
00:57:35The same wedding ring
00:57:36Shen Mo had made for her
00:57:37when they married,
00:57:39married.
00:57:39In their five years of marriage,
00:57:41Shan had never taken it
00:57:42off her hand.
00:57:43Even though Liu Rian
00:57:44never wore his wedding ring,
00:57:46even though he rarely
00:57:48told people he was married,
00:57:49Shen Mo
00:57:50always wore it like
00:57:51it was a priceless treasure.
00:57:53And now he had left it there.
00:57:54Ahem.
00:57:55Ah-li-she, miss-li-de.
00:57:57Liu Rian picked it up
00:57:58with trembling hands.
00:57:59Inscribed on the inside was
00:58:01Love you for a lifetime
00:58:02and the initials
00:58:03of their names.
00:58:04Tears welled up again.
00:58:06One by one,
00:58:07they fell on the ring.
00:58:08Then he opened
00:58:08the last box.
00:58:09Day five.
00:58:10This was the final surprise
00:58:11Shen Mo had promised.
00:58:13With trembling hands,
00:58:14he opened the box.
00:58:15There were no gifts inside.
00:58:17Only two documents.
00:58:18The first
00:58:19was a divorce agreement.
00:58:20It bore Shen Mo's
00:58:21clear and strong signature.
00:58:22The document stated
00:58:23that all property
00:58:24after marriage
00:58:25would be transferred
00:58:25to Li Ruian's name
00:58:26and that Shen Mo
00:58:27was relinquishing all rights
00:58:28to the division
00:58:29of the property.
00:58:29Why,
00:58:30until the very last moment,
00:58:31he was still thinking about her.
00:58:33The second document
00:58:34was a complete description
00:58:35of the Shen Group
00:58:36and Shen Mo's identity.
00:58:37The sole heir
00:58:38to the Shen family
00:58:38was Yuan,
00:58:39Joe Pharmaceuticals,
00:58:41the president of Shen Group,
00:58:42the chairman of the company,
00:58:44the future owner
00:58:44of one of the country's
00:58:45largest business conglomerates.
00:58:46Every word
00:58:47felt like a
00:58:48hammer on lion's heart,
00:58:50shattering her
00:58:50years-long pride.
00:58:52Now she realized
00:58:53what she had lost.
00:58:54She thought
00:58:55she had married
00:58:56an ordinary man,
00:58:57but he possessed
00:58:58wealth and status
00:58:59she could never have achieved
00:59:01in a lifetime.
00:59:02And more importantly,
00:59:04she now realized
00:59:05that the man behind her job
00:59:06at the city hospital,
00:59:07her rise to associate
00:59:08chief physician,
00:59:09her research projects,
00:59:10every major success
00:59:11in her career.
00:59:16Moha, the man she'd always
00:59:17considered ordinary
00:59:18and insignificant.
00:59:19In reality,
00:59:19all his achievements
00:59:20were insignificant to her.
00:59:21She always thought
00:59:22Shen Mo was trying
00:59:24to reach her level,
00:59:25but the truth
00:59:26was the opposite.
00:59:26From start to finish,
00:59:28she herself
00:59:28was trying to climb up.
00:59:30Liu Rian sat down
00:59:31on the ground,
00:59:32clutching the divorce papers
00:59:33to her chest
00:59:33and burst into tears
00:59:34and burst into tears.
00:59:35Thirteen years of pursuit,
00:59:36five years of marriage,
00:59:37she had pushed away
00:59:38the person she loved
00:59:39most with her own.
00:59:41Most with her own hands.
00:59:42Now she understood
00:59:43what regret felt like.
00:59:45It was early morning
00:59:46when the plane landed
00:59:46at Beijing's capital airport.
00:59:48Lian stepped out,
00:59:49dragging her suitcase.
00:59:51The city was the same,
00:59:52but everything felt unfamiliar.
00:59:54She went straight to the house
00:59:55where she and Shen Mo
00:59:56had spent five years together.
00:59:58She opened the door.
00:59:59The house was empty.
01:00:00All of Shen Wo's clothes,
01:00:01clothes, shoes,
01:00:03design drawings,
01:00:04were gone.
01:00:05As if he had never lived there.
01:00:07Only the house
01:00:08was still spotlessly clean.
01:00:09Everything was in its place.
01:00:11As if the hard work
01:00:12of five years
01:00:13was still embedded in the walls.
01:00:14She went into the bedroom.
01:00:16She opened the bedside drawer.
01:00:17Inside lay her own wedding ring.
01:00:19The same ring
01:00:20she had never worn
01:00:21since their wedding
01:00:22and had kept next to it.
01:00:24Shen Mo's ring
01:00:25lay beside the two rings.
01:00:27As if mocking
01:00:28her entire marriage,
01:00:30Yurian picked up the ring
01:00:31with trembling hands
01:00:32and put it on her finger.
01:00:34The ring fit perfectly,
01:00:36but her heart
01:00:36felt more empty than ever.
01:00:38She pulled out her phone
01:00:39and called Shen Mo.
01:00:41Because she changed the number,
01:00:42the call went through this time.
01:00:43The call stayed on hold
01:00:44for a long time.
01:00:45Then someone picked up.
01:00:46Shen Mo's familiar voice
01:00:47came from the other end.
01:00:48But there was no warmth
01:00:49in it anymore.
01:00:50Only coldness,
01:00:51distance,
01:00:52and a slight impatience.
01:00:54Who?
01:00:54Hearing the voice,
01:00:55Yurian burst into tears.
01:00:56Her voice trembled.
01:00:58It's me, Amo.
01:00:59There was silence
01:01:00for a few seconds.
01:01:01Then came Shen Mo's flat voice.
01:01:03What's the matter?
01:01:04Oh,
01:01:05I'm back in China.
01:01:06I'm in our home.
01:01:08Please come back.
01:01:10We'll talk together.
01:01:11Shen Mo's voice
01:01:12was calm as water.
01:01:13There's nothing left
01:01:14to talk about.
01:01:15You must have received
01:01:16the divorce papers.
01:01:17If there's no problem,
01:01:18sign them.
01:01:19The lawyer will take care
01:01:20of the rest.
01:01:21No,
01:01:21Lu Yanggan cried.
01:01:23Amo,
01:01:23I don't want a divorce.
01:01:24I've realized my mistake.
01:01:26I really have.
01:01:27Please forgive me.
01:01:28We can start over.
01:01:30Please.
01:01:31Shen Mo laughed softly.
01:01:32There was only sarcasm
01:01:33in that smile.
01:01:34Dr. Liu,
01:01:35do you really think
01:01:35this is possible?
01:01:36Liu Ryan began
01:01:37to cry uncontrollably.
01:01:38I know I made
01:01:39a lot of mistakes.
01:01:40I shouldn't have
01:01:41treated you so coldly.
01:01:43I shouldn't have
01:01:44gotten involved with Sean.
01:01:46I shouldn't have
01:01:46hurt you.
01:01:48Amo,
01:01:49just give me
01:01:49one more chance.
01:01:50I promise I'll change
01:01:51this time.
01:01:52I'll treat you
01:01:53well.
01:01:54We'll live a good life.
01:01:56There's no need for that.
01:01:57Shen Mo interrupted
01:01:58her in a cold voice.
01:01:59In 13 years,
01:02:01I've given you
01:02:01countless chances.
01:02:02You were the one
01:02:03who rejected them.
01:02:03It's too late now.
01:02:05No,
01:02:05it's not too late yet.
01:02:07Lu Ryan spoke quickly.
01:02:08A last trace of hope
01:02:09in her voice.
01:02:10I've cut off
01:02:11all ties with Sean.
01:02:12The person I love
01:02:14is you.
01:02:14It's always been you.
01:02:16I was just too foolish
01:02:17before.
01:02:18I didn't understand
01:02:19my own heart
01:02:20clearly.
01:02:21Shen Mo called her
01:02:22by her full name.
01:02:23The irritation
01:02:23in his voice
01:02:24was clear.
01:02:25Stop making excuses.
01:02:27You don't love me.
01:02:29You love the status
01:02:30I can give you.
01:02:31The identity
01:02:32of the Shen family's
01:02:32heir,
01:02:33the resources,
01:02:33and the status.
01:02:35If I were still
01:02:36that ordinary architect,
01:02:37would you come back
01:02:38to me?
01:02:38Lu Ryan's words
01:02:39choked in her throat.
01:02:40She couldn't utter
01:02:41a single word.
01:02:42I've already had
01:02:43my lawyer send you
01:02:44the divorce papers.
01:02:45Sign them
01:02:46and we'll part ways
01:02:47peacefully.
01:02:48Shen Mo's tone
01:02:49left no.
01:02:51Room frame for the
01:02:52discussion.
01:02:52Don't call me again.
01:02:53I don't.
01:02:56With that,
01:02:57she immediately hung up.
01:02:58When Liu Ruyan
01:02:59called again,
01:03:00the line was already
01:03:01busy.
01:03:02Liu Ruyan fell to the
01:03:03ground,
01:03:03mobile in hand,
01:03:04and wept uncontrollably.
01:03:06She understood that
01:03:07Shen Mo really didn't
01:03:08want her,
01:03:09but she couldn't
01:03:10accept it.
01:03:11She couldn't lose him
01:03:12like that.
01:03:13She found out the
01:03:14Shen group's address,
01:03:14and the next morning
01:03:16went downstairs to
01:03:16wait under the
01:03:17company building.
01:03:18She was wearing a
01:03:19white dress and
01:03:20delicate makeup.
01:03:21She wanted to look
01:03:22like the person who
01:03:23had made Shen fall
01:03:24in love with her at
01:03:25first sight.
01:03:26Now,
01:03:26she stood there from
01:03:27morning until
01:03:27afternoon,
01:03:28watching people come
01:03:29and go.
01:03:30Finally,
01:03:30she saw that
01:03:31familiar Bendale car
01:03:32stop in front of the
01:03:33company.
01:03:33The car door opened
01:03:34and Shen Mo stepped
01:03:36out.
01:03:36He was wearing a
01:03:37black custom-made suit.
01:03:39His body was straight
01:03:40and confident,
01:03:41unked.
01:03:41His presence was
01:03:42extremely impressive,
01:03:43and his eyes were
01:03:44sharp and sharp and
01:03:45sharp.
01:03:45He seemed completely
01:03:46different from the
01:03:47quiet and reserved
01:03:48man Liu.
01:03:49Liu Ruyan had known
01:03:50before.
01:03:51Sechangan was walking
01:03:52with her.
01:03:53Sechangan was wearing
01:03:54a long champagne
01:03:54dress.
01:03:55Her hand was on
01:03:56Shen Mo's arm,
01:03:57and a gentle smile
01:03:58was on their face.
01:03:59They were walking
01:04:00together,
01:04:00a perfect pair,
01:04:02a handsome man,
01:04:03and a beautiful woman.
01:04:04The sight of this
01:04:05tore Liu Ruyan's
01:04:06heart apart.
01:04:07The pain was so
01:04:08intense that she
01:04:08couldn't breathe.
01:04:10She ran forward
01:04:11and blocked
01:04:12Shen Mo's path.
01:04:13No,
01:04:14Shen Mo stopped.
01:04:15His brow furrowed
01:04:16as he saw her.
01:04:17There was only
01:04:17coldness and
01:04:18impatience in her eyes.
01:04:20Zhu Qingan also
01:04:21stopped,
01:04:21but she didn't let
01:04:22go of Shen Mo's
01:04:23sister.
01:04:23She just calmly
01:04:24stared at Li Yan.
01:04:25There was no
01:04:26hostility in her eyes,
01:04:27only a slight
01:04:28distance and
01:04:28indifference.
01:04:29Come on,
01:04:30can you give me
01:04:31five minutes?
01:04:32Just five minutes.
01:04:33I want to talk
01:04:34to you.
01:04:35Liu Ruyan's eyes
01:04:36filled with tears.
01:04:37Her demeanor had
01:04:38become extremely
01:04:39humble and pitiful.
01:04:40I have nothing
01:04:41to say to you,
01:04:42Shen Mo.
01:04:42Shen Mo said
01:04:43coldly,
01:04:44talking about
01:04:45divorce with
01:04:45your lawyer.
01:04:46I won't get a
01:04:47divorce.
01:04:47Liu Ruyan looked
01:04:48at him tears,
01:04:49welling up.
01:04:50Come on,
01:04:5113 years of
01:04:52relationship,
01:04:53five years of
01:04:53marriage.
01:04:54Can you really
01:04:54just leave it
01:04:55like that?
01:04:56I know you
01:04:56still have
01:04:57feelings for
01:04:57me,
01:04:58don't you?
01:04:59I still have
01:05:00feelings for
01:05:01you.
01:05:01Shen Mo laughed
01:05:02mockingly.
01:05:03Lu Yan,
01:05:04don't you think
01:05:05too highly of
01:05:05yourself?
01:05:06The day I
01:05:07saw you
01:05:07taking off
01:05:07another man's
01:05:08shoes and
01:05:09socks in the
01:05:09Edinburgh rain.
01:05:11That day,
01:05:12all my feelings
01:05:12for you died.
01:05:14And the day
01:05:14you started
01:05:15making excuses
01:05:16to go to
01:05:16another man
01:05:16in the middle
01:05:17of the night
01:05:17that day.
01:05:18My passion
01:05:19for you
01:05:19also died,
01:05:20might.
01:05:21He stared at
01:05:22her.
01:05:23Every word of
01:05:23hers was a knife
01:05:24straight into
01:05:24his heart.
01:05:25You haven't
01:05:26come back to
01:05:26me today
01:05:27because you
01:05:28love me.
01:05:29You've come
01:05:30back because
01:05:30your honor
01:05:31is ruined.
01:05:32You've lost
01:05:33your support,
01:05:34so now you
01:05:34want to use
01:05:35me as a
01:05:35backup plan.
01:05:37It's a pity.
01:05:38I don't accept
01:05:39trash here
01:05:39anymore.
01:05:40Lu Ru Yan's
01:05:41face went
01:05:41white in an
01:05:41instant.
01:05:42Oh yes,
01:05:43I forgot to
01:05:44tell you one
01:05:45thing.
01:05:46Shen's voice
01:05:46was still as
01:05:47cold as ice.
01:05:48The Shen
01:05:48family is the
01:05:49biggest investor
01:05:50in the city
01:05:51hospital you
01:05:51work at,
01:05:52your medical
01:05:53license,
01:05:53and your
01:05:54department.
01:05:55We've
01:05:55submitted the
01:05:55relevant documents
01:05:56for re-examination
01:05:57of your research
01:05:58project.
01:05:59You know
01:06:00very well
01:06:00what you've
01:06:01done to
01:06:02reach where
01:06:02you are
01:06:03today.
01:06:04From today
01:06:05on you won't
01:06:05be able to
01:06:06work in the
01:06:06country's
01:06:06medical field.
01:06:07Lu Ru Yan's
01:06:08body trembled.
01:06:09She stumbled
01:06:09back a step
01:06:10and nearly
01:06:11fell.
01:06:12She finally
01:06:13understood
01:06:13how ruthless
01:06:14Shen Mo's
01:06:15revenge had
01:06:15been.
01:06:16He had not
01:06:17only ruined
01:06:17Shen but
01:06:18also taken
01:06:19away the
01:06:19most precious
01:06:20thing in
01:06:20her life.
01:06:21Come on,
01:06:22you can't
01:06:22do this to
01:06:23me.
01:06:24Li Yan cried
01:06:25in despair.
01:06:26That's my
01:06:26life's work,
01:06:27Shen Mo,
01:06:28looked at
01:06:28her coldly.
01:06:30You ruined
01:06:30my life's
01:06:31greatest
01:06:31passion and
01:06:33I ruined
01:06:34yours,
01:06:34your greatest
01:06:35achievement.
01:06:36Isn't this
01:06:36a fair
01:06:37calculation?
01:06:38There was
01:06:38no mercy
01:06:39in his
01:06:39eyes.
01:06:40With that,
01:06:40he didn't
01:06:41look at
01:06:41her again.
01:06:42He put
01:06:42his arm
01:06:43around
01:06:43Sachinkan's
01:06:44waist and
01:06:44walked
01:06:45straight into
01:06:45the company
01:06:45building.
01:06:46From start
01:06:47to finish,
01:06:48he didn't
01:06:48look back
01:06:49once.
01:06:50Li Yan stood
01:06:51there,
01:06:51staring at
01:06:52her back.
01:06:53Finally,
01:06:53unable to
01:06:54control herself,
01:06:55she collapsed
01:06:55to the ground,
01:06:56sobbing.
01:06:56Everyone
01:06:57around stared
01:06:58at her.
01:07:00Amidst the
01:07:01whispers and
01:07:01taunts,
01:07:02she had been
01:07:02utterly defeated.
01:07:04She was left
01:07:05humiliated like a
01:07:06clown.
01:07:07Sometime later,
01:07:08the Shen Group's
01:07:08annual medical
01:07:09summit was held
01:07:09at the Beijing
01:07:10International
01:07:10Convention Center.
01:07:12Top medical
01:07:13experts from
01:07:14around the world
01:07:14and almost all
01:07:15of China's
01:07:16leading medical
01:07:16companies attended.
01:07:18It was an
01:07:19event of
01:07:19unprecedented
01:07:19scale.
01:07:21I stood
01:07:21calmly on
01:07:22the main
01:07:22stage,
01:07:23dressed in a
01:07:23custom-tailored
01:07:24suit,
01:07:24delivering my
01:07:25speech.
01:07:25In the years
01:07:26since taking
01:07:26charge of the
01:07:27Shen Medical
01:07:27Division,
01:07:28I had
01:07:28implemented
01:07:28several major
01:07:29reforms.
01:07:30Under my
01:07:31leadership,
01:07:32Yuju Pharmaceutical
01:07:32developed several
01:07:33world-class
01:07:34innovative drugs.
01:07:35Many gaps in
01:07:36the country's
01:07:36medical technology
01:07:37were filled.
01:07:37A world-class
01:07:38medical research
01:07:39and development
01:07:40center was
01:07:40established.
01:07:41Deep
01:07:42collaborative
01:07:42relationships
01:07:43were also
01:07:43established with
01:07:44top universities
01:07:44like Harvard
01:07:45and Cambridge.
01:07:46Our private
01:07:46hospitals had
01:07:47also become
01:07:47the standard for
01:07:48high-quality
01:07:48medical services
01:07:49in China.
01:07:50In just one
01:07:50year,
01:07:51I had tripled
01:07:51the market
01:07:52value of
01:07:52the Shen
01:07:53Medical
01:07:53Division.
01:07:54I had
01:07:55become the
01:07:55undisputed
01:07:55leader of
01:07:56the country's
01:07:56medical industry.
01:07:57As soon as
01:07:58my speech
01:07:58ended,
01:07:58the entire
01:07:59hall erupted
01:08:00in applause.
01:08:01Everyone's
01:08:01eyes were
01:08:02on me,
01:08:03admiration
01:08:03and respect
01:08:04clearly visible
01:08:04in their
01:08:05eyes.
01:08:06After the
01:08:06speech ended,
01:08:07I calmed
01:08:07down.
01:08:08Suchingen
01:08:09immediately
01:08:09came to
01:08:10me and
01:08:10handed me
01:08:11a glass of
01:08:11warm water.
01:08:12A gentle
01:08:13smile was
01:08:13in her eyes.
01:08:14You gave
01:08:15a wonderful
01:08:15speech.
01:08:16I took
01:08:16the glass
01:08:17and smiled,
01:08:17stroking
01:08:18her hair.
01:08:18The coldness
01:08:20and sharpness
01:08:20in her eyes
01:08:21immediately
01:08:21melted into
01:08:22tenderness.
01:08:23You've been
01:08:23busy with
01:08:24me all
01:08:24morning.
01:08:25You're
01:08:25not tired.
01:08:26Suchingen
01:08:26smiled and
01:08:27nodded.
01:08:28Then she
01:08:29reached out
01:08:29and smoothed
01:08:29my shirt.
01:08:30All the
01:08:30arrangements
01:08:31for tonight's
01:08:31celebration
01:08:32banquet
01:08:32would have
01:08:32been made.
01:08:33Michael.
01:08:35I nodded
01:08:36and took
01:08:36her hand,
01:08:37our fingers
01:08:38entwined,
01:08:38for the past
01:08:39year.
01:08:40Suchingen
01:08:40had always
01:08:41been there
01:08:41for me.
01:08:42When I
01:08:42was busy
01:08:43at work,
01:08:44she would
01:08:44sit quietly
01:08:45beside me.
01:08:45She would
01:08:46not only
01:08:46help me
01:08:46with my
01:08:47work,
01:08:47but also
01:08:47take care of
01:08:49her.
01:08:50Sometimes
01:08:51when I
01:08:51would feel
01:08:52sad
01:08:52remembering
01:08:52the past,
01:08:53she would
01:08:54silently
01:08:54console me
01:08:55and show
01:08:55me the
01:08:55right path.
01:08:56Gradually,
01:08:57I learned
01:08:57to trust
01:08:57her
01:08:57completely.
01:08:59Her
01:08:59tenderness,
01:09:00her support,
01:09:00and her
01:09:01understanding
01:09:01began to
01:09:02heal the
01:09:03wounds in
01:09:03my heart,
01:09:03and she
01:09:04taught me
01:09:04to believe
01:09:05in love
01:09:06again.
01:09:07Three
01:09:07months ago,
01:09:08I proposed
01:09:08to Sachin
01:09:09in the
01:09:09same
01:09:09courtyard,
01:09:10where we
01:09:10grew up
01:09:11together.
01:09:12There was
01:09:12no grand
01:09:13ceremony,
01:09:13just a ring
01:09:14I designed
01:09:14myself and
01:09:15a question.
01:09:16Jingyan,
01:09:17will you
01:09:17spend the
01:09:18rest of
01:09:18your life
01:09:18with me?
01:09:19Sunyan's
01:09:20eyes
01:09:20welled with
01:09:20tears.
01:09:22She nodded
01:09:22and said,
01:09:23yes,
01:09:24I'm ready.
01:09:25Our wedding
01:09:25was scheduled
01:09:26for the
01:09:26following month.
01:09:27Just then,
01:09:28there was a
01:09:28sudden commotion
01:09:29at the entrance
01:09:29to the
01:09:29conference venue.
01:09:30I looked up
01:09:31and frowned,
01:09:32slightly,
01:09:33and happy.
01:09:34Standing at the
01:09:35door was
01:09:35Lyuroyan.
01:09:36She looked
01:09:37utterly devastated
01:09:37compared to a
01:09:38year ago.
01:09:39She was no
01:09:40longer the proud
01:09:41and confident
01:09:41surgeon she had
01:09:42been.
01:09:42Her hair was
01:09:43dry and
01:09:43lifeless.
01:09:44Her eyes
01:09:45were red.
01:09:45She was
01:09:46wearing faded
01:09:47white clothes.
01:09:48At this
01:09:49high-level
01:09:49conference,
01:09:50she looked
01:09:50completely
01:09:50dejected.
01:09:51Her life
01:09:52had been
01:09:52completely
01:09:53ruined in
01:09:53the past
01:09:53year.
01:09:54The city
01:09:55hospital had
01:09:56fired her.
01:09:57Her medical
01:09:58license was
01:09:59revoked.
01:09:59She could
01:10:00no longer
01:10:01perform
01:10:01surgeries.
01:10:02No hospital
01:10:02in the
01:10:03country would
01:10:03dare hire
01:10:04her.
01:10:05She had
01:10:05become an
01:10:06outcast in
01:10:06the medical
01:10:07world.
01:10:07When her
01:10:08parents learned
01:10:09of her
01:10:09actions,
01:10:09they were
01:10:10so enraged
01:10:11that they
01:10:11severed all
01:10:12ties with
01:10:12her.
01:10:13They refused
01:10:14to even
01:10:14see her
01:10:15again.
01:10:16Meanwhile,
01:10:17Xiao Chen
01:10:17was finally
01:10:17convicted of
01:10:18commercial fraud
01:10:19and tax evasion.
01:10:20He was
01:10:21sentenced to
01:10:2115 years in
01:10:22prison for
01:10:23tax evasion.
01:10:24The Xiao
01:10:24family went
01:10:25bankrupt and
01:10:26drowned in
01:10:26debt.
01:10:27There was
01:10:28no hope of
01:10:28recovery.
01:10:30Lu Yan had
01:10:30lost everything.
01:10:31She now
01:10:32lived in an
01:10:32old rented
01:10:33room and
01:10:34worked odd
01:10:34jobs to
01:10:35make ends
01:10:35meet.
01:10:36Every day
01:10:37she lived
01:10:37in regret.
01:10:38She watched
01:10:39my news.
01:10:40She watched
01:10:40me rise
01:10:41step by
01:10:41step.
01:10:42Seeing me
01:10:43and Sun
01:10:43Yan happy
01:10:44and in
01:10:44love tore
01:10:45her heart
01:10:45to pieces.
01:10:46She tried
01:10:47countless
01:10:47times to
01:10:48meet me
01:10:48but each
01:10:49time she
01:10:50couldn't
01:10:50even see
01:10:50me.
01:10:51Even at
01:10:52this conference
01:10:52today she
01:10:53somehow managed
01:10:53to sneak
01:10:54in.
01:10:55She just
01:10:55wanted to
01:10:55see me
01:10:56one more
01:10:56time.
01:10:57She just
01:10:58wanted to
01:10:58apologize to
01:10:58me one
01:10:59more time.
01:11:00The security
01:11:00guards stopped
01:11:01her from
01:11:01entering.
01:11:02She started
01:11:03sobbing wildly
01:11:04and screamed
01:11:05in my
01:11:05direction.
01:11:06Come in.
01:11:06Let me
01:11:07in.
01:11:07I have
01:11:08something to
01:11:08tell you.
01:11:09The entire
01:11:09hall turned
01:11:10to look
01:11:10at her.
01:11:11Whispers
01:11:11erupted
01:11:12everywhere.
01:11:13My face
01:11:13went cold.
01:11:14I waved
01:11:15at the
01:11:15security
01:11:16guards
01:11:16signaling
01:11:16them
01:11:17to let
01:11:17her
01:11:17go.
01:11:19Liu
01:11:19Ruian
01:11:19immediately
01:11:19broke
01:11:20free
01:11:20from
01:11:20their
01:11:20grasp
01:11:20and ran
01:11:21toward
01:11:21me.
01:11:21Staggering
01:11:22Ming.
01:11:22Tears
01:11:23welled up
01:11:23in Liu
01:11:23Ruian's
01:11:24eyes as
01:11:24she looked
01:11:24at me.
01:11:25The man
01:11:26standing
01:11:26before her
01:11:26was radiant.
01:11:27Full of
01:11:28success
01:11:28and confidence.
01:11:29He was
01:11:30the very
01:11:30happiness
01:11:31she had
01:11:31once held
01:11:32within her
01:11:32grasp and
01:11:33which she
01:11:33had rejected
01:11:34with her
01:11:34own
01:11:34hands.
01:11:35Liu
01:11:37Ruian's
01:11:37voice
01:11:37choked.
01:11:38I know
01:11:39I made
01:11:39a mistake.
01:11:40A very
01:11:40big mistake.
01:11:42I've
01:11:42regretted it
01:11:43every day
01:11:43for the
01:11:43past year.
01:11:44I think
01:11:45of you
01:11:45every day.
01:11:46Can you
01:11:47give me
01:11:47another
01:11:48chance?
01:11:49Even
01:11:49if I'm
01:11:49just
01:11:50allowed
01:11:50to stay
01:11:50with you,
01:11:51I'm
01:11:52willing
01:11:52to do
01:11:52anything.
01:11:53I looked
01:11:54at her.
01:11:55My eyes
01:11:55were calm.
01:11:56There was
01:11:56no emotion
01:11:57in them.
01:11:57No wave.
01:11:58No pity.
01:11:59Ruian,
01:12:00do you
01:12:00still remember?
01:12:01I said
01:12:01slowly.
01:12:02On my
01:12:03birthday
01:12:03the third
01:12:04year of
01:12:05our
01:12:05marriage,
01:12:05I cooked
01:12:06a full
01:12:06meal
01:12:06with my
01:12:06own
01:12:07hands
01:12:07and waited
01:12:08all night
01:12:09for you.
01:12:09But you
01:12:10came home
01:12:10early in
01:12:11the morning
01:12:11and said
01:12:12you'd
01:12:12forgotten.
01:12:13I asked
01:12:14you the
01:12:14same thing
01:12:15that day.
01:12:15Could you
01:12:16give me
01:12:16a little
01:12:16attention?
01:12:18And you

01:12:19of free
01:12:19time and
01:12:20was just
01:12:21being
01:12:21dramatic.
01:12:22Liu
01:12:22Ruian was
01:12:23stunned.
01:12:23How long
01:12:24had she
01:12:24forgotten

01:12:27mother had
