"Have you thought about your parents? They're lying in the hospital right now, how pitiful."
"Ding Pengpeng, one shouldn't be too selfish."
Guan Shu's tone reminded me of those who used to spread rumors and mock Yikeng back in the day.
Am I also seen as that kind of person in Yikeng's eyes?

Guan Shu comes from a wealthy family; he is a typical rich second generation.
He can see through my feelings, but I don't hide my feelings for Yikeng either.
Guan Shu has been annoyed with me for a long time; he asked why I would hang myself on the same tree.
I didn't know how to respond; perhaps it was because Yikeng was the first person who genuinely complimented me.
Before my family went bankrupt, Guan Shu confessed to me for the last time, and I rejected him.
But unexpectedly, after my family went bankrupt, he pretended to come over and say he wanted to help me.
He said that if I married him, he would help me pay off my debts.
I knew that Guan Shu just wanted to prove that I had made the wrong choice back then.
He wanted to humiliate me in this way.
Such behavior is truly ridiculous.
If he really liked me, he wouldn't make such an insulting request.
His actions, disguised as love but aimed at satisfying his desire for conquest, disgust me.

When I arrived at the wedding venue, Meimei was chatting with a few classmates in the lounge.
Seeing me, she hurried over and hugged me tightly.
Meimei is my roommate. We had agreed before that whoever gets married first would have the other as their bridesmaid.
I never expected this agreement to actually come true.
At the wedding, I added many old classmates on WeChat and reconnected with quite a few people.
Meimei, wearing a wedding dress, had tears welling up in her eyes: " Pengpeng, I always thought you would be the first to get married among the four of us."
I said, "If I got married, then I wouldn't be able to be your bridesmaid, would I?"
Meimei asked me, "What have you been doing for the past four years? Why haven't we heard anything from you? Do you know how worried we all were about you?"
I sighed: "At that time, I couldn't accept reality. I felt like my life had hit rock bottom and I was too ashamed to face you all."
"My parents were deep in debt, and I was hiding everywhere, living a life of turmoil."
"I didn't dare to contact you or let you know about my situation."
"During that time, I felt like a rat crossing the street, everyone wanted to beat me."
"I couldn't accept that version of myself, so I chose to escape."
Meimei patted my head and said, "Silly girl, how could we ever look down on you?"
"You know, after you went missing, Yikeng was almost going crazy."
I was slightly taken aback: "Did he... look for me?"
"Of course he did. He was almost frantic trying to find you."
Meimei told me that after I went missing, Yikeng had exhausted almost all methods; he even went to my house.
Unfortunately, my family has already moved away.
My parents took me to a remote suburb to escape from debts.
Yikeng couldn't find me and, feeling hopeless, returned to Beijing to start frantically researching missing person data systems.
In recent years, he has been delving into this field and has achieved some success.
At that moment, the Master of Ceremonies approached and reminded Meimei that it was time to go out and throw the bouquet.
Meimei quickly grabbed my hand and said, "Come on, let's go grab the bouquet."
"They say the person who catches the bouquet will be the next one to get married."
I smiled and said, "Sure."
However, when the Master of Ceremonies announced the bouquet toss, I suddenly lost focus.
In an instant, the bouquet fell behind me.
