Zhou Wei took the suicide note with a very strange mood, the paper was yellowed, but it was flattened, which showed that the person who kept it was very careful.

I opened it slowly little by little, and saw that the words on it, written in a blue pen, should still be the kind of old-fashioned fountain pen that needs to absorb ink, the pen is strong and powerful, it is hard to imagine that this is from the hand of a woman.

"My little princess", the first row begins with these five words, which is considered a title.

Zhou Wei looked up at Chang An, she sat there with a slight smile, a very complicated smile.

Strictly speaking, this should be a letter written by Xue Bing to Chang An before he died.

Zhou Wei retracted his gaze and looked down again-

"My little princess:

Out of selfishness, I hope you will never get a chance to see this letter, because if you do, it means that everything has turned out to be the worst I expected, and I am sorry to let everything be like this, but since it has happened, it is a given fact, I still hope that you will listen to me personally.

Let's start with why I left you.

In the past, your mother always taught you that if you do something wrong, you must have the courage to bear the consequences, so now your mother has to make a choice, as for what your mother did wrong, I think you should already know, are you disappointed in your mother?

It's okay, it's normal to be disappointed, and I'm disappointed in myself, even hateful, but it doesn't affect my mother at all to still love you.

Mom doesn't know if you were an adult when you read this letter, if you are not an adult, Mom hopes that you can be a good stay by Chang Wangde's side when nothing happened, he once promised me personally, I am gone, he will treat you as a daughter forever, I believe this, he may not be a good husband, but he can be a good father; if you are an adult, Mom can't stop you, you can make your own choice, but this may be more difficult for you, but what does it matter, Mom believes that you can do it.

Let's talk about your father, although I can't talk about it, I'm sorry, baby, you don't have the surname Chang!"

Zhou Wei was completely shocked when he saw this.

He had already roughly known what Xue Bing had done before her death, and even speculated the reason why she committed suicide, but he didn't expect that Chang Wangde was not Chang An's father.

Who is Chang An's father?

He looked up at the woman opposite, she was also looking at him, or waiting...

He simply didn't ask, and continued to look down.

“…… But it doesn't matter who your biological father is, you don't need to recognize him, he is not worthy, he is not suitable, he doesn't even know your existence, so over the years, Chang Wangde and I have reached a consensus, I will ensure his official fortune, he will protect the reputation of our mother and daughter, if I leave, you can still be his precious daughter, but my mother must tell you the truth here - your birth was an accident!

I don't like to be tied up, and I don't like to be cared for, so I planned for a long time not to have children for the rest of my life, but you came, and without my knowledge at all, it has been almost three months since I found out.

I'm sorry, my mom tried to kill you, but the doctor said I was old and the surgery was risky, so I wanted to consider it.

At that time, I happened to be in Beijing, coming out of the hospital, walking on Chang'an Street, Chang'an, Chang'an, but what I was thinking at that time was, I can call you by this name in the future...... At that moment, I realized that I was not willing to kill you at all.

Thank goodness you were born safely.

Over the years, I've made many bad decisions, but only this time, I'm glad I was indecisive and glad I was able to bring your selfishness into the world.

My daughter, you can't imagine how much I loved you the moment I saw you, just as you can't imagine how peaceful I was when I wrote this letter.

Since I have given you life, I can give you the best life, so I am willing to take the first step to protect your life and the rest of your life!

In the end, Mom doesn't expect your forgiveness, but Mom will watch you from heaven.

My princess, no matter how hard life is, you have to wipe away your tears.

Fate will favor you, grit your teeth, and everything will pass!"

The final payment - "Xue Bing, the last pen"

The letter is not long, but after reading it, it seems that all the strength has to be exhausted.

Zhou Wei even felt that a thin layer of sweat had on his back, because the few words in the letter subverted not only Chang An's life, but also his conjecture.

"Everyone thinks that my mother committed suicide because of my dad and Aunt Ying, including me, and for so many years I have always thought that the betrayal of my marriage led to my mother's death, but it turned out to be otherwise. Chang settled for a moment, "Now that I think about it, I am still too naïve, my mother's temper, to be strong and competitive, how can she lose herself because of a woman, it is really too inconsistent with her personality, and my dad, oh no, maybe he will not be my dad in the future......"

Chang An laughed self-deprecatingly again, "How can a person like him, who regards his official position and career as bigger than his life, be so ridiculous as to openly raise women outside and take women home to get married?"

For Wei Suying, Chang Wangde missed two opportunities to be promoted in those years, otherwise he might not have been in the place a long time ago.

"As soon as my mother left, he burned all my mother's relics, and in just a few months, he took Aunt Ying and Chang Jiahui back without hesitation, and corrected their names, so that everyone would think that my mother committed suicide because she hated her husband's betrayal, and no one would associate her death with other things, but it turned out that all this was just a scene directed by them. ”

Twenty years ago, the tide of state-owned enterprise reform surged, Yu'an, as a veteran state-owned enterprise, naturally did not lag behind, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission issued an order, Xue Bing, as the top spot of Yu'an, naturally became the leader of the reform project.

Sun Zhengdao was still in the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission at that time, one outside and one inside.

It was the nineties of the last century, the implementation of reform and opening up has achieved remarkable results, after the speech of the southern tour, it has accelerated the development of the central and western regions and some inland cities, and the combination of coastal, riverside and inland provincial capitals has finally formed a multi-level, multi-channel, all-round open pattern, and at that time state-owned enterprises had inefficient and ineffective objective problems, so the reform of state-owned enterprises came into being in this economic and social form.

Reform is a good thing, but there is a revolution in the reform, at that time the construction of D in the enterprise was weak, the supervision of senior management was not effective, and the legal system was not sound and also bred a large number of corruption problems, Xue Bing gritted his teeth in this situation and took over the reform task.

She needs to push the whole ship forward with the power of one person.

Chang Wangde said that she was also involuntarily, although from a legal and moral point of view, this is not true, but from a practical point of view, it is true.

The Yu'an reform project lasted for more than three years, and outsiders only saw the external changes of a company, such as layoffs, such as innovation, such as equity adjustment and change, but did not see the inside.

This is clearly a commercial and political game, hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, all kinds of characters have appeared on the stage, conspiracies, each showing their powers, all kinds of restructuring and capital operation, such a grand battle, who can ensure that the final clean body can get out.

As a person in the center of the whirlpool, Xue Bing has selfishness and rights, but the most wrong decision she made in her life was to have feelings for Sun Zhengdao.

No matter how strong a woman is, once it involves emotional matters, she can still miss the ability to distinguish between right and wrong.

Three years later, Yu'an's restructuring was successful, and Chang'an was already a beautiful little girl, but the above suddenly began to check Yu'an's accounts, Sun Zhengdao, Xue Bing, including the company's high-level executives, all walked on thin ice.

Seeing that he was about to find out about his head, Sun Zhengdao came to beg Xue Bing, at that time, Sun Zhengdao didn't know Chang An's true identity, and all the chips in his hand were just betting on Xue Bing's feelings for him.

The so-called armor and weakness, love, sometimes it can be used as armor, sometimes it is a vulnerable weakness.

Xue Bing weighed again and again and found that the best choice was to die by himself.

She died, all clues were interrupted, and the system was missing at that time, so the case would easily be closed, not to mention that she knew that if she didn't die, she would not be much better, she would face investigation, face trial, face sentencing, face disgrace and finally fall into decades or even life imprisonment.

Her temperament is better to finish herself first.

"My mother probably calculated an account, she deposited a huge amount of money in an overseas account before leaving, and hung it in the name of her college classmate, that is, Edan's father's institution, and also found a lawyer to draw up a will, and communicated all the arrangements with Chang Wangde in advance, he told me tonight that my mother did all this for me, hoping to ensure that I could be rich for half my life. ”

Chang An's eyes were blurred when he said this.

It may be difficult for others to understand her mood at this time, contradictory, painful, and innocent.

"So you know what? When I was seventeen years old, I was sent to London overnight by Chang Wangde, and I always thought that he wanted to sever the relationship between me and my brother, but it wasn't, but because the time was up, and it was my mother's agreement with him before her death, that at the age ......of seventeen, I had to immigrate to England, study there, settle down, and when I became an adult, I would naturally inherit the huge inheritance she left me abroad, and never have to pay attention to anything in the country again."

Therefore, Chang An was able to be sent on the plane overnight without any visa preparation, because this was a necessary procedure in her life, and others had already set up a procedure for her, even if she and Chen Haodong eloped, she would have been sent away, and there was no other choice.

"It's just that my mother probably never thought that in a few years I would come back to this vortex again because of my brother's best ......."

She looked up at Zhou Xian, tears falling silently, but the stubborn smile on the corner of her mouth refused to take it away.

Zhou Wei didn't know what to say, because the truth of all this was far beyond what he had imagined before.

He felt sorry for Chang An, but he couldn't do anything about it.

"Alright..."

Zhou Wei walked over and stood next to Chang An and took him into his arms.

Chang An wrapped his arms around his waist and rubbed his face hard against his lower abdomen.

"Do you know how I feel right now?"

A muffled voice came from below.

Zhou Xian rubbed the hair on the back of her head, "What do you feel?"

"It's like... In order to build a castle, they thought that they could keep me rich and prosperous for the rest of my life, but the castle suddenly collapsed, and the whole thing was pressed down, and I was buried in it, and I was about to lose my breath!"

Zhou Wei's heart felt like he had been hit hard.

He couldn't bear the pain for her, but he could perceive it, just as Xue Bing said in that suicide note, she called Chang'an the little princess, maybe in her heart, she always thought that she had given Chang'an the best things, glory and wealth, fine clothes and food, but these were just imaginary scenes of a mirage.

Xue Bing left her alone in this world, and the princess's gorgeous clothes would be stripped away in the future, leaving only her scarred heart and the cold reality she was about to face.

"It doesn't matter, even if the castle collapses and you have nothing, at least I'm still here. ”

Zhou Wei lowered his head and kissed the top of Chang An's hair.

Chang An buried his face in his abdomen, his mind trembling.

yes, at least you're still here......

……

Because of the pressure for several days, Chang An slept late the next day before waking up, and when he got up, Zhou Wei was no longer at home, and a piece of paper was pressed under the vase on the table - "There is something in the company in the morning, call me after getting up, and eat together at noon." ”

Chang An finished reading the note, folded it and threw it aside, and looked at the flowers in the vase again, it should still be the bellflower she bought on the day she was taken away by the procuratorate last week, but because it has been too long, the flowers have obviously withered.

Chang An pulled out the whole bouquet of flowers and threw them all into the trash.

She wanted to call Zhou Wei, but after looking for a long time, she remembered that the phone had already run out of power and turned off automatically, so she found a charger to charge the phone, and then walked to the bathroom barefoot.

Inside the mirror is a pale face, and the dark circles under the eyes are also a little heavy.

Chang An sighed and scooped up a handful of cold water and washed it on his face.

She told her to be sober, to be strong, and there was no hurdle that could not be passed.

Ten minutes later, Chang An finished washing, changed her clothes, and her mobile phone was charged a little, she turned on the phone and called Zhou Wei, but no one answered there.

Thinking about it, he should be very busy, there is a problem with the funds she invested in, and it should have been frozen now, although he didn't mention a word about these things, Chang An could probably imagine that he was also facing a predicament at this time.

The phone was not answered, and Chang An changed to text messages.

"I'm up, contact me when you're free!"

WeChat sent over, as expected, there was still no reply, Chang An didn't ask more, she waited for another half an hour, pulled out the charger and went out with her bag.

In fact, it was aimless, but she knew that she couldn't be alone at home, afraid of accidents.

It rained all night last night, and today it finally faded, but the sky was still overcast, and the cold was still very heavy.

Chang An wrapped his coat and lived along the road at the entrance of the community, and unconsciously walked to the flower shop, and had nothing to do, went in and picked out a bunch of bellflowers, came out with flowers, looked up, and saw Chen Haodong leaning on the car door and looking at her.

Chang An was startled, and was stunned for a few seconds before he said embarrassedly: "Such a coincidence?"

Chen Haodong snorted, "Unfortunately, I started following you all the way from the gate of the community." ”

Chang An: "......"

Chen Haodong stared at her for a while and opened the car door.

"Let's get in the car and find a place to talk. ”
