"The bell rang again and again behind me, while the ground beneath my feet was pitch black night."

"Advance or retreat, a single thought separates two worlds."

Finally, he took a step back, from darkness back to light, back to the room, and found the phone in the drawer.

"That phone kept ringing; it seemed like it wouldn't stop until he answered it."

"He answered the phone and heard a suppressed, tearful voice calling for his mother. It was a girl's voice. The girl said she was dying, that she was bleeding a lot, and that her stomach hurt a lot."

He remained silent, listening to the girl plead repeatedly, thinking to himself, "So there is another person in this world who is suffering just as much as I am."

"You must be wondering who this girl is now, since you were only twelve years old then and probably don't remember this little incident."

"But I always remember. Not only do I remember, but I also made a bold decision. I want to find you. I want to see what the girl who called Deng Wen's mother looks like. I want to see what the girl who called me back from the brink of death looks like."

"In this vast world, it's not easy to find someone, but I still found you. There was a photo on your mother's phone. She was holding a baby and sitting in a dumpling shop. I found you based on this blurry photo."

"I didn't realize you were so thin when you were little. You had short hair and even wore boys' clothes, so it was impossible to tell your true gender. I really regret not having a camera with me back then to take a picture of you looking like that skinny monkey."

Jiang Yu put down the letter in her hand, her nose tingling and her eyes slightly red. She closed her eyes to compose herself before opening them again to continue reading.

"You should have seen those photos by now. I secretly visited you for many years and took some photos of you in high school. There's something else I've been keeping from you: I was your sponsor during your school years."

"Yes, that's right, the person you're chatting with on QQ is also me."

"I know everything you said to me when we were dating, everything you said to criticize me."

"I was angry with you back then, and I was quite upset. I thought you were such a good actor. But I've come to terms with it now. I've kept this from you for so many years and so many things. I'm not a good person either. So if you've scolded me, so be it."

"You must be very angry to see this, and I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth beforehand."

"I am not a member of the Shen family. The elders in the Shen family all know this. The Shen family is large and has many descendants. They would not allow someone with an outsider to occupy an important position in the company. Therefore, I have almost no say in the Shen Group. I am just an employee in the group, a professional manager they hired."

"I joined the Shen Group to repay Shen Changyuan for taking care of my mother over the years. I had to join the group to look after Shen Zhaolin and give him a place in the Shen family. But don't panic. Although I don't have any real power in the Shen family, my childhood friend and I started making money overseas when we were in college."

"In the past few years, I have also opened companies overseas and made some investments, earning a lot of money, enough for you and your daughter to live on for the rest of your lives."

"The fact that you can see this letter proves that the lawyer has delivered the will to you. 70% goes to you and Shen Mo, 20% to my mother, and 10% to Shen Zhaolin."

"Why give it to Shen Zhaolin? Consider it a small compensation from me. I've kept a close eye on him these past few years, and he's been living a very stifled life, not like a rich kid. With this money, even if he doesn't amount to anything in the future, he won't starve to death."

"My mother is in poor health. She suffered a lot to give birth to me. I know you don't like her, but I have to be responsible for her, so I left her some money. After I die, you won't have to meet with her to accommodate me."

"You'll remarry, that's okay, I understand. You're still young, but I hope you can find a man who treats Shen Mo like his own son."

"I left a letter for my mom. You can give it to her later. After she reads it, she definitely won't fight you for custody of Shen Mo."

"But Shen Mo is, after all, her grandson. My only request is that Shen Mo can spend two days with her every weekend. Please grant me this request, okay?"

"Shen Mo is too young to understand the meaning of death. He is a sensitive and delicate child. You must pay attention to his psychological changes in this matter."

"If he asks where your father went, you can tell him the truth about his death, take him to my grave, and tell him that I loved him very much."

"I've rambled on enough, and I've explained everything that needed to be explained."

"Then let me just say one last thing: my wife, I really love you."

After reading the last word, Jiang Yu carefully put the letter away.

When she finished reading it for the first time, she didn't expect to cry so uncontrollably. Several words on the letter were blurred by her tears.

I didn't sleep well that night, and when I woke up the next day, my eyes were very swollen. When I went downstairs, I found that it was snowing.

A timely snowfall heralds a bountiful year.

Jiang Yu took out her camera and filmed the heavy snowfall. Through the lens, she said to Shen Chengyan, "Look, it's snowing heavily. I don't know how to ski. Do you know how? If you do, teach me. I'll count to three. If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes. Okay, you agree. I've made a mental note of it."

While eating breakfast, Jiang Yu also made a note: "I made your favorite food today. It's a pity you can't have it."

Before leaving, she sent a message to the nanny, saying that she would pick up Shen Mo.

But as soon as she stepped out the door, she tripped and fell on her bottom.

The camera captured her embarrassing moment. Jiang Yu sat on the snow for a long time, but luckily she was wearing thick clothes and didn't fall and get seriously injured.

But she was still upset and muttered to herself in a fit of anger, "It's all your fault. If I hadn't been going to pick up your son, I wouldn't have fallen like this."

When they arrived at the Shen family home and picked up Shen Mo, Tang Yun asked her again, "When can I see my son?"

Jiang Yu: "After your next check-up, if the doctor says you've recovered, I'll let you see him."

Tang Yun was furious: "Do I need your permission to see my son now?"

Jiang Yu: "Yes, I am now the head of the family."

Tang Yun looked aggrieved.

As Jiang Yu helped Shen Mo put on his coat, she said, "What's so interesting about him with tubes all over his body? If you get any more trauma, I don't have the ability to pull you back from the brink of death again."

Tang Yun: "..."

Jiang Yu: "Besides, if something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to your son when he wakes up? So just stay home and rest, get well first, and then we'll talk about other things."

Tang Yun pushed the wheelchair and followed them to the door. "My follow-up appointment is after the New Year. You won't even let me see my son during the New Year? I'm so worried about him, you know?"

Jiang Yu glanced at her; her complexion looked much rosier than when they met last week. "Showing you his video is the same thing, so don't cause trouble."

Tang Yun: "..."

Jiang Yu patted Shen Mo's head: "Say goodbye to Grandma."

Shen Mo went over and hugged Tang Yun: "Grandma, just listen to your mother. She won't hurt you. Be a good girl at home, okay?"

Tang Yun: "..."

Shen Mo: "I'll come again next week. Goodbye, Grandma."

The mother and son went outside, crossing the snowy sky, heading towards the parking lot.

Jiang Yu held Shen Mo's hand.

Shen Mo also took her hand and asked, "Mommy, shall we go see Daddy?"

Jiang Yu nodded: "Yes, you haven't seen him for a week. Let's go talk to Dad."

Shen Mo: "Can I visit him every day like you do?"

Jiang Yu: "Isn't it better to meet once a week?"

Shen Mo: "I'm fine with it, but a week is too long. I think Dad will miss me."

Jiang Yu's nose tingled slightly: "Okay, Mom will take you to see Dad often from now on."
