Chapter 55 I've finally made peace with myself.
Su Su closed the bedroom door, poured a glass of hot water, and handed it to Shen Xi.
Her face was gentle, and her tone soft, "How many children does Xixi have in her family?"
Shen Xi shook her head. "I am an orphan. I may have had many brothers and sisters in the past, but I can't see them anymore."
Her mother-in-law, the dean, is also in another world.
Su Su was taken aback. She thought Xi Xi's family was very happy because she felt that Xi Xi's cheerfulness was like that of a child who grew up with a lot of love.
"You don't need to feel sorry for me. My headmistress is very kind to me, and all the children in the orphanage like me very much."
"I am very happy."
Shen Xi had only one regret: if she had known she would die suddenly after being transmigrated into the book, she would have donated all those tens of thousands of yuan back to the orphanage.
Su Su blinked and said, "Oh, I see."
She picked up the hot water, took a sip, and said, "My parents had three children. I was the middle one. I had an older brother and a younger sister. But at that time, my family was not wealthy; in fact, we lived in poverty."
“My parents worked hard to support my brother’s studies abroad. My sister and I rarely saw them at home growing up, and we had to cook for ourselves. On rare occasions, my father would come home and beat my sister and me. My mother would just comfort us with red eyes, saying that my father had worked very hard and that we should just bear with it.”
"Those days were really tough."
"When I was nineteen, I was admitted to Peking University with excellent grades. There I met a man who was unrestrained and flamboyant, like a vibrant new sunrise. To my utter surprise, he actually liked me. At that time, I was more grateful than fond of him. His actions told me that I was worthy of being loved and was not the useless person my parents said I was."
"I fell in love with him, but people's hearts are fickle and things are unpredictable. Not long after we got married, my phone kept receiving tons of explicit photos. But I didn't dare to ask. What's even more ridiculous is that my first thought was to reflect on myself and wonder if I had done something wrong?"
"At first, I didn't really believe him, but as time went on, sometimes he would say he was working overtime at night, and at the same time I would receive a photo. The time and place were always exactly the same. Even my sister later subtly told me that he wasn't a good person."
"The first solution I thought of was to leave with nothing and get a divorce. I didn't want this marriage that once saved me to be tarnished, nor did I want the ending to be so embarrassing."
"I left the divorce papers and left."
Su Su didn't shed a single tear; instead, she calmly smiled and told her about this past event.
With tears in her eyes, Shen Xi gritted her teeth and cursed, "You're so stupid, really."
Su Su's eyes were gentle, and she nodded in agreement, "You're right."
"What do you mean I'm right, you..."
Silly girl, you should go and verify whether these things are true.
She didn't say it aloud because she knew that the sorrow brought by her family of origin had made this girl lose confidence in herself being worthy of love, and her heart was already riddled with wounds.
Shen Xi hasn't reached that level, so she has no right to say that what she did was wrong.
"Su Su, I don't want to say anything inspirational, but I want to tell you that you are you. No matter what others say, it can't sway your self-worth. You have to tell yourself, 'I am a person worthy of everything.'"
“Our Su Su should walk the glorious path of prosperity and splendor.”
Su Su burst into tears at that moment, as if she had finally received everyone's understanding and recognition. She covered her mouth and sobbed, releasing all her pain.
Shen Xi didn't go over to comfort her. Su Su had to get through this hurdle in her heart on her own, and then—be reborn.
After a while, Su Su looked up at Shen Xi with a smile, her eyes still red.
She said, "I've finally made peace with myself."
Su Su wore a smile she had never seen before—a smile full of confidence and strength.
Time flies, and Qi An has already woken up after her midday nap.
Shen Xi learned from Su Su that Qi An's father was unaware of Qi An's existence.
In the evening, Shen Xi wove a wreath from the nearly withered roses in Su Su's house and put it on Su Su's head.
Su Su is beautiful, but her past lack of confidence always shrouded her face in gloom.
Now, she is wearing a rose wreath and holding a doll in her arms, walking with Shen Xi on the path of Yunxia Xiang. The evening breeze caresses their cheeks, and the orange streetlights illuminate their smiling faces.
When Shen Xi left on the third day, Su Su drove her to the airport.
Su Su hugged Qi An and waved to her, "I will come to the capital to see you in a while."
Shen Xi hugged her reluctantly, said goodbye to Qi An Bao Bao, and boarded the plane to Beijing.
……
Let's rewind to three days ago.
Jiang Group
Li Zhu felt that the world was very surreal. He had just received an urgent notice that President Jiang had asked him to clean up half of the top-floor office, set up a woman's desk and chair, and place more brightly colored flowers on the desk.
The moment Li Zhu saw the message, he felt as if the sky had fallen.
His hands trembled as he clicked to confirm several more times before finally giving up.
Their boss wants to use company funds to date!!!
What a tyrant! A truly tyrant!!
He's still single!
When President Jiang arrived in the afternoon, he had been working at the new desk all afternoon. At the end, he gave a sharp comment: "Assistant Li, the office chair is not soft enough. Change it."
Assistant Li: Of course it's not soft enough. Otherwise, why do you think it's called an office chair?
Li Zhu was convinced. He secretly opened the company's private group chat to try and find out some information.
But unfortunately, he seems to be the first to know.
Li Zhu pondered deeply, Li Zhu was moved, Li Zhu's eyes filled with tears!
Even if he's a beast of burden, he's still the boss's best beast of burden!
Even HR didn't know that a new boss lady was coming to the top floor soon!
After arriving at the top floor of the Jiang Group in the afternoon, Jiang Ci immediately convened an emergency meeting with his hands folded in front of his abdomen.
Suddenly, everyone in the senior management felt insecure. Before entering the meeting, the executives carefully reviewed their performance over the past period.
Since the conglomerate was stripped of its power, the veterans have all taken their rightful shares and retired home, leaving behind a group of young but powerful executives.
But they were still very afraid of Jiang Ci holding meetings.
Jiang Ci arrived at the conference room early, his expression cold as he flipped through the papers in his hand.
Li Zhu stood to the side, looking at the three or four stacks of papers, wondering in his heart if these executives had broken some kind of cardinal rule.
Jiang Ci looked at the frosted glass of the conference room, where many dark figures were crowded outside. He frowned and said coldly, "You're all outside. Should I invite you in?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the frosted door was opened.
The executives found their seats in an orderly fashion, sat down, and looked as if they were facing death with equanimity.
