Chapter 4, she said to herself, she could live just as well without that man

He simply left her on the highway, noticing her high heels, one facing straight and the other askew on the car, with one heel broken, barely hanging on by a small piece of skin

"But in my entire life, I have only loved one man," she said, tears welling up again.

"Get out of the car." He quickly pulled over to the side of the road and ordered her to get out.

His car meandered through the urban area of Shanghai, eventually finding its way onto the highway. He thought to himself, why not just leave her on the highway and let her walk slowly on her own? At least she wouldn't be able to disrupt Feng Bowen's wedding at m.hetushu.com. Next time they gathered, he would make sure that this kid Feng Bowen owed him a favor.

It is truly strange, what is going on, how has this woman's presence disrupted all the plans! He recklessly turned around on the highway, accelerating towards the stretch of road where he had abandoned her

The high heels were left in his car, and she walked barefoot on the scorching pavement under the sun, surrounded by vehicles that flashed by quickly. She was unclear about where she was and where she was headed, and could only walk forward along the Gaohe and Tushugu Expressway.

She wiped away the tears that kept falling with the back of her hand, gazing at the skyscrapers passing by outside the window, and said: "But it doesn't matter, I would have known better earlier, I can find another good one. I have told myself that I can live just fine without that man; what’s there to fear without a man? I won’t die!"

She spoke to him precisely because she knew he would not say anything, treating it as a form of self-dialogue to express her feelings; by voicing her thoughts, perhaps she would feel a little better inside

At this moment, she was nearly dehydrated, stumbling along the highway with a book in hand, and soon developed several blisters on her feet. A patrol vehicle from the traffic police passed by and discovered a woman walking on the expressway, quickly stopping to assist her and taking her into the vehicle

He placed a box of facial tissues from the car onto her, without looking at her, his eyes fixed ahead as he drove his car

His car was not far from the police car. Upon witnessing this scene, he accelerated past the police vehicle. Seeing her slumped exhaustedly against the seat, he felt a sense of relief; being taken away by the traffic police meant that at least she would be safe

In that case, he also did not wish to attend the wedding banquet, so he declined to go.

As he drove halfway, a sense of confusion overwhelmed him, a panic he had never experienced before. He thought of her just having come out of prison, without a penny to her name, without a phone, and without anyone she knew. Leaving her alone on the highway, barefoot, with her pale and weak face, he began to worry about her again

She told him that the groom's name was Feng Bowen, the man who had promised to marry her two years ago. For such a man, she bore all the blame alone and spent two years in prison, believing that she would be the one to marry him. Who would have thought that Feng Bowen had found another woman

He did not express any opinions about the * picture * book; he listened without speaking

"For him, I spent two years in prison, and even had my lawyer's license revoked. What did I do it for, what did I do it for..." After she finished speaking and cried, she truly felt much lighter. Crying does help, that makes a lot of sense.

Feng Bowen's call came in, asking why he had not yet arrived. He suddenly felt a sense of aversion towards Feng Bowen. It is normal for a man to play with women, but Feng Bowen had a woman take the blame and serve time while he himself lived freely and ostentatiously remarried a socialite. This made him feel that Feng Bowen was not much of a man.

She nodded, got out of the car, and watched as his vehicle disappeared into the distance
