Mr. Lu, stop being such a jerk. Your wife is your nemesis's white moonlight.

I shouldn't have gotten into Lu Yiming's car anymore.

Xu An'an sat in the passenger seat of the Maybach, lost in thought.

But now she no longer had the strength to engage in any struggle with Lu Yiming.

Lu Yiming looked at Xu An'an, whose eyes were red at the corners, in the passenger seat, and felt a pang of heartache.

After so many years of marriage, Lu Yiming knew Xu An'an's deep attachment to her family.

This is why, despite the repeated mistakes made by the Hsu Chao-bei family, Hsu An-an has repeatedly tolerated them.

She just wanted to keep every member of her family as long as possible.

And right there in Gangang, she actually severed them all with her own hands.

Lu Yiming reached out and pulled Xu An'an into his arms.

"An'an, cry it out. It'll make you feel better."

This embrace felt both familiar and strange. For a moment, Xu An'an was in a daze, as if the man in front of her was still the husband she could unconditionally trust. But this impulse only lasted for a moment.

Xu An'an gently pushed him away and sighed.

"Lu Yiming, take me to Yunxi Garden. I want to see my grandma."

......

The last time I visited Yunxi Garden was a few months ago, and when I came back, I found that the flowers had been changed.

The wealthy old lady was overjoyed to see Xu An'an visiting her.

"An'an, why are you back all of a sudden? Is filming finished?"

"Not yet, Grandma." Xu An'an helped her grandmother sit down. "I had a day off today, so I came back to visit since I didn't have anything else to do. I have to go back to Bincheng later."

The wealthy old lady wasn't disappointed; she still smiled and said, "Just take a day off and come back to cause trouble. Don't worry about Grandma; she's doing fine here!"

The grandmother and granddaughter hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they chatted for a while while holding hands. Xu An'an told her about the interesting things that happened on the set, which made her laugh out loud.

After a while, the wealthy old lady suddenly brought it up, "An'an, did Grandma cause you any trouble the other day?"

Xu An'an was stunned for a moment before she realized that her grandmother was talking about giving her new phone number to Lu Yiming.

"Actually, Grandma regretted it later, wondering if she had disrupted your plans."

Seeing her grandmother's regretful expression, Xu An'an quickly said, "No, don't overthink it."

"That's good," the wealthy old lady sighed. "An'an, Grandma doesn't know what happened between you and Xiao Lu. Since you don't want to talk about it, Grandma won't ask. But Grandma has lived for so many years, so I'll say a few more words. Xiao Lu isn't a bad child; he can't pretend to be one after all this time."

"Grandma knows he must have done something very wrong for you to be so determined to break up with him. Grandma unconditionally supports you. But An'an, Grandma still suggests you talk to him properly and make things clear. Let's part amicably."

Xu An'an nodded, "I understand, Grandma."

"Oh, Xiao Fu, your eldest granddaughter has come to see you!"

Grandma Chen from next door overheard this and came over, smiling broadly. "Your grandma showed me your photos online the other day, and promised to sign them for us when you come back! Don't try to go back on your word, I'll go get them all right now!"

Before long, many staff members and the elderly lady from next door arrived, and the room was filled with laughter and lively chatter.

Although the wealthy old lady expressed her disdain, her eyes were full of smiles.

Actually, Xu An'an came this time to ask her grandmother if she would like to go to Bincheng with her.

Seeing how happy she was getting along with everyone here, I just couldn't bring myself to ask her that question.

......

When we left Yunxi Garden, it was already getting dark.

Xu An'an had just taken out her phone when she was surprised to find that Lu Yiming hadn't left.

Lu Yiming was leaning against the Maybach, smoking. (Add a description of the character and setting.)

I hadn't noticed before, but now it seems he has indeed lost a lot of weight recently.

Seeing Xu An'an come out, Lu Yiming extinguished his cigarette and waved his hand on his suit a few times, as if to brush away the smell of smoke from his clothes.

"An'an, you're out."

Xu An'an hummed in agreement and walked over.

"When did you start smoking?"

"Recently," Lu Yiming smiled bitterly, "after you left. I didn't understand why so many people were addicted to tobacco and alcohol before, but now I realize that these things I looked down on really do make people feel better."

"Yiming, you don't have to do this."

Perhaps because so much had happened today, Xu An'an was unusually calm when facing Lu Yiming.

"Actually, think about it, divorcing me is a very good option. That way you can also..."

"A good choice?" Lu Yiming interrupted her. "If you're not around anymore, what's the point of talking about choices?"

Lu Yiming's eyes instantly reddened.

"An'an, I've thought a lot about this lately. You're right, it's all my fault. I was too selfish and arrogant before, taking your kindness for granted. I didn't care about you enough, and I couldn't control myself, I let you down... But An'an, I know I was wrong now. I will change, I can change everything you don't like. So, An'an, I beg you, can you give me another chance... please?"

Seeing Lu Yiming so humble and pleading, Xu An'an also felt bad.

After a moment of silence, she sighed softly.

"Yiming, I don't think I've told you this before, but when I was little, I actually had a pet kitten."

Hearing Xu An'an bring this up suddenly, Lu Yiming was a little confused. In his memory, An'an always avoided small animals like cats and dogs, and Lu Yiming had always thought that she didn't like them.

"I was about four years old at the time, and my parents were still alive. It took a lot of effort for them to buy me that kitten. I really liked it and even named it Xiaomi."

Xu An'an seemed to suddenly fall into a distant memory.

"One morning, I accidentally broke one of my mom's cosmetics. It must have been expensive, and I knew the adults would scold me if they found out. My only thought was to hide it. I carefully collected all the pieces, afraid to throw them in the trash for fear of being discovered, so I stuffed them into the cat's bed. I planned to take it out and throw it away when my mom wasn't home."

"But... I forgot about it."

At this point, Xu An'an paused for a long while before speaking again, "When I finally remembered, I discovered that Xiaomi was already dead."

"It was poisoned. I'll never forget how it died, its small, stiff body covered in blood from cuts caused by shards of glass. I begged to bring it home, yet I'm the one who killed it. Later, I often thought that my family's later state was probably divine punishment..."

Seeing Xu An'an deeply immersed in the pain of her memories, Lu Yiming couldn't help but comfort her, "An'an, don't say that, you were still young back then."

Xu An'an shook her head. "People always have ways to justify themselves, but wrong is wrong. Just like no matter how long I cry while holding the kitten, no matter how much I kowtow to it, it will never come back to life..."

At this point, Xu An'an sighed and looked at Lu Yiming again:

"Yiming, you said you wanted a second chance, but some mistakes, once made, can never be undone."

"An'an! We are different!"

Lu Yiming said urgently, "We still have a chance to start over. As long as you can forgive me, we can be like before, I promise!"

"How can they be the same?"

Xu An'an smiled and retorted, "Yiming, you already have a child with Lin Wan'er. That's a living, breathing person between us. And more importantly, I can no longer trust you."

Just then, the car that Xu An'an had called arrived.

She opened the door and got into the car.

"Yiming, no matter what, the child is innocent. Don't let him be born without a father."

"Also, quit smoking, it's bad for your health."

After saying that, Xu An'an closed the car door.

"Let's go, driver, to the airport."
