Rebirth: Illuminating a Brilliant Life

Chapter 145 The Entanglement of Love and Betrayal

Because of Su Xuan and Cheng Ran's marital problems, Dong Haoying was extremely anxious and did not hesitate to fly from Changsha to Chengdu. After arriving in Chengdu, he ignored his travel fatigue and went straight to Su Xuan's house.

The moment Dong Haoying saw Su Xuan, his eyes were filled with concern and worry. He pulled her into his arms, patted her back gently, and said, "Xuan'er, don't be too sad, I'm here for you."

He knew Su Xuan's personality well; she was always firm and resolute in her attitude towards relationships. In her view, betrayal in marriage was an unforgivable line, and no matter what the truth was or whether Cheng Ran was truly innocent, once her principles were violated, she would absolutely break ties with Cheng Ran completely.

The only reason Su Xuan hasn't filed for divorce yet is because of her daughter, Nianci. She doesn't want her daughter to grow up in a broken home, and she doesn't want her to be hurt. So, even though she's in immense pain, she's still trying her best to maintain the family.

However, he understood that Su Xuan was only temporarily swayed by her emotions and worries about her daughter. Once she recovered from this chaotic situation, given her personality, divorce would be a piece of cake. She would make a swift decision, severing the relationship without hesitation and starting her life anew.

Meng Jiawei originally planned to go to Chengdu together, but he knew Cheng Ran and Su Xuan. He knew that Su Xuan was emotionally sensitive at this critical moment, and his sudden appearance might backfire and make Su Xuan feel even worse.

After some deliberation, he decided not to go in person, but instead to secretly send a message to Dong Haoying. The message was full of concern and anxiety; he implored Dong Haoying to keep him informed of Su Xuan's condition and the development of the situation.

After sending the message, Meng Jiawei paced back and forth in the room like a cat on a hot tin roof, his eyes glued to his phone screen, not daring to look away for a moment. Every second felt infinitely long, as if time itself had frozen.

Finally, the phone screen lit up; a message from Dong Haoying had arrived. Meng Jiawei grabbed the phone and quickly opened the message. Seeing Dong Haoying's reply, his brows furrowed deeply, his eyes filled with worry. He knew how serious and devoted Su Xuan was in relationships, and Cheng Ran's affair had caused her immense pain.

Meng Jiawei paced back and forth in the room a few times. After thinking for a moment, he sent another message to Dong Haoying: "You stay with Su Xuan for now. I'm trying to figure something out. Contact me anytime if anything happens." As he sent the message, he silently resolved to help Su Xuan get through this difficult time.

Meng Jiawei took a deep breath and dialed Cheng Ran's number. On the other end of the line came heavy breathing. Cheng Ran sounded exhausted, as if all her strength had been drained, and every word was filled with deep guilt.

Suppressing his anger, Meng Jiawei said bluntly, "Cheng Ran, you've really gone too far this time. Do you know how much your actions have hurt Su Xuan? She's in so much pain now and has decided to get a divorce." The image of Su Xuan's despair flashed through Meng Jiawei's mind, and his tone grew increasingly heavy.

Cheng Ran was silent for a moment, as if he was trying to organize his thoughts. His voice was so low it was almost inaudible, and it trembled slightly: "I know, I was wrong. I regret it so much right now, I really don't know what to do."

Meng Jiawei frowned and raised his voice: "What's the use of regret? You can't solve the problem by regretting it now. You have to find a way to win Su Xuan back and take responsibility for your actions." Meng Jiawei knew in his heart that Su Xuan cherished this relationship immensely, and winning her back would be no easy task.

Cheng Ran's voice trembled with tears: "I really don't know what to do. I've tried to explain to her, but she just won't listen. I know I've broken her heart. How can I make up for all of this?"

Meng Jiawei took a deep breath and calmed down: "First of all, you have to show Su Xuan your sincerity. Stop trying to get by and genuinely reflect on your mistakes. She's very sensitive to all of this right now, and you have to prove yourself with your actions."

Cheng Ran sighed: "I really don't know what to do. I feel like a complete bastard right now."

Meng Jiawei said firmly, "Then do what a jerk should do. Go find her, apologize to her face-to-face, and let her see how much you care about her. Stop running away and stop making excuses."

Meng Jiawei paused, then continued, "Also, you have to be prepared to face the consequences. Whatever decision Su Xuan makes, you have to accept it. It's what you deserve."

Cheng Ran was silent for a moment, then her voice carried a hint of despair: "I really don't want to lose her, what should I do?"

Meng Jiawei was silent for a moment, then said, "It's not something you can do as you please now. You have to try to get Su Xuan's forgiveness, no matter what the outcome is."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Jiawei leaned back in his chair, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew Cheng Ran still had a long way to go, and he hoped he could truly make changes so that Su Xuan could feel happiness again.

Meng Jiawei was deeply troubled. He knew that it would be extremely difficult for Cheng Ran to win back Su Xuan. Meng Jiawei decided to start by observing Cheng Ran's daily behavior, hoping he would demonstrate remorse through concrete actions.

He first sent Cheng Ran a message that read: "From today onwards, you must come home on time every day and cook for Su Xuan yourself. Do it with care, and don't be careless about any detail."

After sending the message, Meng Jiawei called Dong Haoying again to explain the situation and hoped that she could pay more attention to Su Xuan and keep her company.

Meng Jiawei knew that Cheng Ran's change couldn't just be superficial; Su Xuan needed to feel his sincerity. He hoped that Cheng Ran could truly change and work towards repairing their relationship.

Meanwhile, Meng Jiawei maintained close communication with Dong Haoying to understand Su Xuan's condition in detail. He repeatedly instructed Dong Haoying to pay close attention to Su Xuan's emotional fluctuations and to take her out for walks more often to help her relax.

Meng Jiawei said urgently and sincerely, "Su Xuan is going through a very sensitive period, and we need to pay close attention to her emotional changes. She is in pain right now and needs our company. Try to take her out for walks more often to help her relax."

Dong Haoying replied earnestly, "Don't worry, I'll always be there for her. I'll let you know if anything happens."

Meng Jiawei added, "If Su Xuan has any thoughts or needs any help, be sure to tell me immediately. We must do our best to help her get through this difficult time."

With Dong Haoying by her side, Su Xuan gradually calmed down. She began to re-examine her life and think about her future direction.

However, whenever she thought of Cheng Ran's betrayal, it felt like her heart had been struck by a heavy hammer, and an indescribable pain instantly surged into her heart.

Her eyes were filled with confusion and pain, her brows furrowed involuntarily, and her lips trembled slightly. Memories of the past flooded back like a tide, and all the beauty and trust that had once been ruthlessly torn apart in that moment.

Su Xuan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She knew she couldn't remain immersed in pain forever; she had to make a change. She struggled to control her emotions and hold back her tears.

With Dong Haoying by her side, Su Xuan began to try to shift her focus and do things she enjoyed. She tried to keep herself busy, hoping to temporarily forget her pain.
