Shen Qingqing has a very deep memory of Xu Mei’s cherished Twist Bracelet. No matter how many years passed, seeing this bracelet made Shen Qingqing recognize it instantly as Xu Mei’s.
"You recognize this, right?" Gu Hang brought the Twist Bracelet closer and placed it before Shen Qingqing. From Shen Qingqing’s expression, Gu Hang already knew she recognized it.
Gu Hang picked up the Twist Bracelet and said, "You want to ask, why is it in my hands?"
Shen Qingqing was cornered on the sofa, unable to retreat any further. In front of her was the enlarged Twist Bracelet. Because it had been so long, it looked somewhat old. Xu Mei’s image in her mind gradually became clear.
Xu Mei, her appearance and name were completely different. She was graceful and generous, and when she smiled, it was sweet, giving people a sunny and positive feeling, totally unlike the word "Mei."
Sometimes Shen Qingqing would also be jealous of Xu Mei; she lived too freely. Even though life didn’t give Xu Mei a good background, didn’t let Xu Mei be born with a silver spoon like her, she still lived freely.
"Your Lian Family is rich, huh? A human life, compensated with fifty thousand." Gu Hang’s seemingly mocking words made Shen Qingqing interrupt, saying, "No, Gu Hang, Xu Mei died in a car accident, it had nothing to do with me."
"Heh."
Gu Hang sneered, questioning, "Lian Qingqing, if it weren’t for your unreasonable behavior, would Xu Mei have been pushed away by you and died in a car accident?"
"You were angry and pushed Xu Mei away, yet at the critical moment, Xu Mei still pushed you away." Thinking of the situation at that time, Gu Hang wished he could punch himself. He should have categorically refused when he broke up with Lian Qingqing, not think about Lian Qingqing’s feelings, not think about those short yet beautiful days.
In doing so, he wouldn’t have let Lian Qingqing keep coming to him again and again, and wouldn’t have caused Xu Mei to intervene in their fight and then be pushed onto the road by Lian Qingqing.
Xu Mei, how kind she was, even at the moment of danger, she still pushed Lian Qingqing away.
"I, I wasn’t unreasonable, I, I didn’t deliberately kill her, it was all because of that driver."
Shen Qingqing closed her eyes. Her voice was loud, but the louder her voice, the more it masked her guilty conscience.
It’s because she was discontented, because of jealousy, that she felt Gu Hang broke up with her because of Xu Mei. No matter how Xu Mei explained, no matter how Gu Hang explained, she wouldn’t listen.
Even though she knew deep down that Xu Mei wasn’t someone who would steal a friend’s boyfriend, jealousy had already eroded her rationality; Shen Qingqing felt that by arguing like this, it seemed like she could bring people back.
Unfortunately, Gu Hang didn’t come back, instead, it cost Xu Mei’s life.
She pushed Xu Mei during a quarrel and didn’t notice the car coming beside them. Originally, she and Xu Mei should have both been hit by the car, but at the critical moment, Xu Mei pushed her away.
Xu Mei’s life just vanished like that.
This matter hit her hard, so after the college entrance exam, she chose to go abroad.
"Ask yourself, does Xu Mei’s death have nothing to do with you? Do you not feel guilty?" Gu Hang sternly questioned.
Shen Qingqing’s face was pale as paper, her lips trembling as she said, "Gu Hang, you insist on bringing this up on my wedding day, what do you want? It’s been so long, do you still want me to pay with my life?"
Xu Mei’s death, she was partially responsible, her family compensated with fifty thousand, why does Gu Hang still cling to this matter?
"Haha." Gu Hang’s deep gaze looked at Lian Qingqing, and in her eyes, there wasn’t a trace of remorse or guilt. Gu Hang took a deep breath, put the bracelet away, and said, "Money can’t buy back life, nor peace of mind."
