ABRWF Chapter 383.1

At that time, he didn’t know what price Lu Qingyan had paid to give Jiang Nanshu a chance to breathe again.

However, the price he paid was extremely high when he disappeared for a week with Jiang Nanshu and returned with his hastily bandaged, bleeding wrist.

Later, seeing Lu Qingyan praying to Buddha every day, he pressed him for an answer.

He simply stared at the Buddha statue and spoke calmly.

He gave half his life to Jiang Nanshu in exchange for her return, but he would have to wait a long time. He didn’t know how long; he could only keep waiting.

Old Mr. Lu initially didn’t believe it.

Until the incense sticks inserted in the incense burner suddenly tilted, and the ashes fell to the ground, as if acknowledging Lu Qingyan’s words.

Only then did despair well up in Old Mr. Lu’s heart.

Life is but a hundred years. He was only in his twenties, and he had already lost half of it.

Lu Qingyan said calmly, “I owe her, so I should repay her.”

Old Mr. Lu knew that he was blaming himself, believing that not answering Jiang Nanshu’s call had led her to her suicidal thoughts.

This had led to a dead end.

But it was also a glimmer of hope; as long as Jiang Nanshu was breathing, he could live a good life.

“Why tell her? If I could, I’d want her to live to be a hundred, but my lifespan is limited; this is all I can do.”

Lu Qingyan fiddled with the Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist.

“I don’t want her to like me out of guilt. I don’t need her pity.”

His grandson was too stubborn; Old Mr. Lu couldn’t do anything about it.

He stood up, leaning on his cane: “Keep being stubborn. I can’t be bothered with you.”

Old Mr. Lu stormed off.

Lu Qingyan took out his phone, intending to call Jiang Nanshu, only to realize that she didn’t have a phone.

…

Jiang Nanshu, who had just emerged from the darkness, found the surrounding scenery quite novel.

Finally, she no longer had to look at that same patch of sky. No matter how grand it was built, it made her feel like a frog at the bottom of a well.

From Yan Yidan, she learned that Xu Xi had become a host on Beijing TV through her own efforts. Even though she was only hosting the evening news, she was extremely satisfied and worked even harder to climb higher.

Jiang Nanshu felt a pang of emotion.

In five years, Xu Xi had graduated from university and successfully passed her postgraduate entrance exam; she was a hardworking and shining young woman.

The dream she once spoke of was no longer just a dream; she had achieved it.

Yang Jiashu started his own company, which had gradually grown stronger and bigger over the years.

They occasionally got together, but due to their busy schedules, they didn’t have much time, and the lack of a team member dampened their enthusiasm.

On the other hand, Yang Jiashu’s company was closer to Xu Xi’s, so the two of them often bumped into each other.

As for Yan Yidan and Jiang Yunchuan, Beijing is so big; it was difficult for them to meet unless they deliberately tried.

Her older sister, Jiang Leyi, was nominated for the youngest Best Actress award in the entertainment industry last year, and then announced her retirement from the industry to go home and inherit the family fortune.

“What? Zhou Yanbai died the year before last?” Jiang Nanshu opened her eyes slightly, somewhat incredulous.

In the original world, Zhou Yanbai was tortured by her for more than a month until he went insane. She then took him to a mental hospital, where he suffered a mental breakdown and committed suicide.

How could Zhou Yanbai in this world, without her help, also die?

Jiang Yunchuan shrugged: “Yeah, he’s dead. It seems he fell down the stairs and accidentally stabbed himself to death with the knife he was holding. That’s how he died.”
