I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Or perhaps they protected her too well.

Their family is so rich, I wonder how many people are eyeing Liu Ruyan.

Sitting outside in the dead of night like this is practically like having "Come rob me" written all over your face.

If their daughter hadn't been sitting there unharmed, Mr. and Mrs. Liu would have called the police immediately.

Liu Chenmin frowned and said, "He sat there so late because he's got his eye on you, isn't he?"

He said this to warn Liu Ruyan not to be deceived.

To this day, he still doesn't believe that her so-called teacher could casually give away a villa at such a young age.

It all looks like they deliberately approached her, after her family's money.

Many viewers in the live chat agreed with Liu Chenmin's statement.

“No normal person would sit in a park until 3 a.m.; there must be some ulterior motive.”

"I already know the script: an ignorant girl jumps into the water and is rescued, then falls in love with the person who saved her."

"That girl is so naive. It's obvious that they're after her, but she doesn't even realize it."

In the studio, Gao Xiaobo fanned himself and said, "Indeed, it's not right to sit next to someone so late at night."

Jupiter said, "There's something I don't understand: why is everyone worried about girls being scammed out of money, but nobody cares why she committed suicide?"

Gao Xiaobai paused for a moment, then said, "She didn't explain clearly why she wanted to commit suicide, and besides, it's someone else's family matter."

Yu Hua said quietly from the side, "In our generation, the focus on money is too distorted, to the point that it has objectified ourselves."

Gao Xiaobai was a little embarrassed and took a sip of water.

What he just said is a bit out of character for him.

Liu Chenmin stared at Liu Ruyan, trying his best to keep his expression stable.

He couldn't understand why Liu Ruyan would be so close to a stranger, yet so distant from him, the man who had loved her for 12 years.

"Is it possible that he noticed your extraordinary background, which is why he was able to approach you?" he asked Liu Ruyan.

Xiao Qing suddenly said coldly from the side, "Is it possible that her teacher sensed Ruyan's suicidal intentions and therefore stayed by her side?"

He Shiying had a sudden inspiration: "That's right, very likely!"

Qin Yunchu nodded secretly.

Liu Chenmin was speechless for a moment, then said, "Then why didn't you call 110 from the beginning?"

"What's the use of calling 110? Ruyan was driven to this state by the oppressive family environment. Sending her back will only make her depressed in a different place," Xiao Qing retorted. "In my opinion, her teacher is trying to save her in a romantic way."

Liu Chenmin pursed his lips: "No matter how romantic this is, an outsider can never replace parents."

Xiao Qing said with a dark face, "I can't explain it to you."

He Shiying stretched out her hand and said, "Everyone, please be quiet and let her continue."

While they were arguing, Liu Ruyan remained silent. Only when no one else spoke did she continue telling the story with an indifferent gaze.

……

"Hey!"

Liu Ruyan's hand was suddenly empty; the suicide note had already been taken by Chen Ya.

She reached out her arm to reach him, but Chen Ya dodged left and right, almost causing her to fall on top of him.

"What are you doing?!" Liu Ruyan stomped her foot in anger.

Based on her life experience, the other party should usually return the letter to her at this point.

But he didn't. Chen Ya pulled the letter out of the envelope and unfolded it under the streetlight.

"The suicide note was even written on patterned paper? How girly!"

"What are you doing? I didn't ask you to see it, I'm angry!" Tears welled up in Liu Ruyan's eyes.

Her anger is a very serious matter.

Liu Ruyan was as gentle as a lamb for most of her life and rarely got angry.

So her anger means that things are really serious.

If Chen Ya returned the letter to her at this point, apologized politely, and patted her head, there might be a chance she would calm down.

But it seems Chen Ya doesn't really intend to do that.

He's a real entertainer.

By the dim light, Chen Ya read aloud:

"Dad, Mom, this is to inform you..."

Dear Dad and Mom:

By the time you read this letter, I will have already passed away.

I don't need to blame myself. My suicide was my own choice and has nothing to do with anyone else.

I once asked myself, what is the meaning of life?

My father told me that the meaning of life is responsibility.

This answer is not interesting.

Just like when my favorite poems appeared on a Chinese reading comprehension test, I excitedly finished answering the questions, only to find that my answers were completely different from the standard answers.

While I was alive, I was in pain every day.

I think the meaning of life is probably suffering.

After I leave, remember to water the hyacinths.

Shamisen can cause indigestion, so don't feed it too many times a day.

However, perhaps it's because I secretly fed my shamisen to the sashimi I had for dinner every time.

By the way, Japanese food is absolutely terrible.

I threw all my clothes on the bed before I left. I threw them myself, not the nanny who confiscated them.

One of them is blue, and it's my second favorite piece of clothing. Please don't burn it; you can give it away. I hope it exists in this world.

I've said too much without realizing it.

That's all. Goodbye.

Before Chen Ya finished reading, Liu Ruyan sat down on the bench next to him.

angry.

When Chen Ya came over with the envelope and sat down next to her, she was holding back her tears.

"I've finished reading it."

"I didn't ask you to read it!" Liu Ruyan said in a muffled voice.

Chen Ya said, "Let me give an overall assessment. He seems to have a grand vision, but all his passion is contained within him, held back without being expressed. It cannot be said that he lacks genuine feelings."

"What are you saying?" Liu Ruyan's eyelashes were wet with tears, and her beautiful eyes stared at him.

"I am evaluating your suicide note. From a literary perspective."

Liu Ruyan didn't understand why he would do such a thing.

"I didn't ask you to give your opinion."

“From a literary point of view, it’s poorly written. Absolutely terrible,” Chen Ya said.

Just now, Liu Ruyan was able to remain calm, but after his unexpected remark, the heat rushed to her head.

"You were just saying something about having some kind of depth or something..."

"That's just because I noticed it. I'm better at it, but I didn't express it on the surface," Chen Ya said flippantly.

Liu Ruyan had put a lot of effort into planning this day, and although the suicide note was only one part of it, it was still a work of confidence.

She never imagined she would have the opportunity to be openly and bluntly criticized.

Suddenly feeling wronged, she said in a tearful voice, "I only asked you to help me send it back, I didn't ask you to see it."

Chen Ya said matter-of-factly, "Since it's a suicide note, it's bound to be read by others. Your parents will read it, and they'll share it with their relatives and friends. It'll spread like wildfire, and it might even be published in the newspaper."

Liu Ruyan was stunned; this was something she had never considered before.

"Hundreds of years later, archaeologists will unearth this letter and place it in a museum. Every day, a steady stream of tourists will come to see it and marvel at it."

Liu Ruyan blushed at what she was told, snatched back the suicide note, and crumpled it into a ball: "Forget it, I don't want to send it off."

Chen Ya put his hand on the bench and said, "Actually, I used to be a writer. Your suicide has nothing to do with me, but since it involves the creation of a suicide note, I have a little say in it."

Chapter 28 I didn't bring any money

"Ha, writer, what have you written?"

"The problem now isn't my work, but yours." Chen Ya grabbed her hand and retrieved the crumpled suicide note. "My assessment is that there's still room for redemption. How about it, want to learn writing from me?"

Liu Ruyan didn't want to talk to him.

She desperately wanted to question him: What right do you have to say about my life?

But feeling that she couldn't win the argument, she turned her head away and glared angrily at the lake.

Chen Ya said, "No one has ever tried to understand you, right?"

Liu Ruyan suddenly turned her head and looked at him in surprise.

“I can see that even in your suicide note, you deliberately suppressed yourself and didn’t reveal your true thoughts,” Chen Ya said. “Because you were worried that no one would understand what you were saying, right?”

Liu Ruyan remained silent.

Even though he touched her heart.

"To include something as trivial as disliking Japanese food in your suicide note—how afraid are you of your parents?" Chen Ya commented. "If I'm not mistaken, you had Japanese food for dinner tonight, didn't you?"

all hit.

It was so accurate that even Liu Ruyan was a little unwilling to accept it.

“Kaiseki cuisine,” she said, “is prepared by a chef specially brought in from Japan.”

"You're not full, are you?" Chen Ya said.

Liu Ruyan wrinkled her nose: "What's it to you?"

"Just tell me if you've eaten enough?"

Liu Ruyan pretended to be fierce and snorted, saying, "What do you know? Water shield only grows in the purest water; it's a truly all-natural food."

“Ah, I understand, I understand,” Chen Ya commented as if he had seen it with his own eyes, “Water shield soup, right? It’s quite interesting, like jelly, but it’s very sour.”

Liu Ruyan asked in surprise, "You've eaten this?"

Chen Ya glanced at her and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the chef who cooked for you is named Zhang Quan?"

"I didn't know that."

“It must be him,” Chen Ya said. “He’s in Japan, and I’m the one who introduced him to kaiseki cuisine.”

Liu Ruyan wasn't very convinced.

As they were talking, someone's stomach started growling.

Liu Ruyan's face flushed red instantly.

Luckily it was nighttime, so it wasn't very clear.

Chen Ya laughed loudly: "I told you I wasn't full!"

Liu Ruyan stood up, rubbing her stomach in annoyance: "Even if I'm not full, you have no right to laugh at me."

Chen Ya laughed and said, "That's not what I meant. Your parents shouldn't have served kaiseki cuisine for dinner."

"Huh?"

"Kaiseki cuisine originated from tea snacks, which are sweets eaten before the tea ceremony."
