Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 527: Chapter 501: If One Day (Monthly Tickets 1650+ Updated)

Under Rong Yuan’s lead, everyone sang “Love Song 1980” together.

This was Liu Shuang’s favorite song before he passed away. If it weren’t for the accident, this song was supposed to be played at Lone Wolf and Hu Meijing’s wedding as a special gift for them.

Hearing this familiar melody, Hu Meijing’s grief reached its limit. Things have changed, and people are gone. She was about to speak, but tears flowed down first.

How could the same melody appearing in two extremely different situations not break one’s heart? Although the pledge still exists, people are separated between life and death. With no more illness to hide behind and the emotions of hatred and confrontation being dissolved by reality, what’s left for everyone present is just an inexplicable sadness.

The rain came just in time.

The gentle rain hid the grief and tears on their faces, blending the longing for old friends in the song. Who says they only have a tough exterior and don’t understand affection? It’s just that the romance shown at this moment is so melancholic.

Hu Meijing knelt on the ground, and the rain over her head suddenly stopped.

Raising her head, she saw Xiao Qian in a black dress holding a white flower umbrella above her, shielding her from the rain. Looking up from below, Xiao Qian seemed like a protective umbrella that blocked the wind and rain for her. In this oppressive environment, she was like the last saving grace.

“Dr. Chen, what should I do… What have I been doing all these years…”

Hu Meijing covered her face and cried.

“You’ve been doing what he wanted you to do, and you’ve been doing it well.”

Hu Meijing looked up at Xiao Qian with tearful eyes, and Xiao Qian gently wiped away her tears.

“He hoped that you could have a different life. His mother and his friends all wanted that for you. Listen to this song, it’s so beautiful. You can let go of everything but never forget. My dear girl, don’t cry, you’re still together…”

Xiao Qian recited the lyrics and looked at Hu Meijing with compassion. “When he fearlessly moved forward, his faith was nothing more than protecting the ones he loved. He wanted to exchange his life for the safety of thousands of families, but I think he hoped more that the person he loved would be happy. Living well is the biggest affirmation for him.”

Even in the years when Hu Meijing lost her personality, her subconscious never stopped missing him. Even the second personality she created was the gentle woman Lone Wolf had hoped for in his heart.

There are so many ways to express love, and this is the most tragic one. She has to live a strong life despite knowing what he thought in his heart.

“I really don’t know how to be happy; I don’t know…”

“You do know. Constant love always hurts. The beauty of the past will eventually leave you without looking back, but life must go on. Your heart has already made the choice for you. Come back, Meijing. Come back to me.”

Xiao Qian threw away the umbrella and stood straight, “Come, look into my eyes.”

Already hollowed out by sadness, Hu Meijing unconsciously looked into Xiao Qian’s eyes. At this moment, her consciousness was highly focused. Xiao Qian stretched out her hands with palms inward, gently touching Hu Meijing’s temples, and said softly, “Is there any unfulfilled wish left in your heart?”

“No.” Hu Meijing shook her head, feeling her mind go blank.

“Look into my eyes. Don’t move. Your sadness and sorrow will follow my gaze. When I let go of my hand, you will fall forward with me.”

Professor Liu had been standing closest to Xiao Qian and was quite surprised by her actions.

She knows how to do this too?

“Come, come back to my embrace.” Xiao Qian let go of her hand, and Hu Meijing’s body felt lighter. She fell straight towards Xiao Qian and passed out.

Yu Minglang rushed over and asked Xiao Qian with confusion, “What did you do to her?”

Is this stronger than a sedative? Just a touch knocked her out?

“Anterior hypnotic induction. It isn’t usually this effective, but she’s in an unstable state right now, and her subconscious wants to escape the sadness, so she cooperates with me. Take her back, and I’ll start the final treatment.””Who taught you?” Professor Liu didn’t expect Xiao Qian to master the various methods of hypnosis so skillfully and use them so appropriately.

“You.”

“Did I write about it in my notebook?”

“I bought a book you wrote about hypnosis.”

Professor Liu was baffled. Had she previously published a book on the subject? There was a draft in her hand that she was currently organizing but hadn’t passed the second round of editing yet. How could Xiao Qian know about it?

Watching the crowd taking Hu Meijing to the car, Xiao Qian stood in the rain and silently looked at Lone Wolf’s grave marker.

“He should be able to rest in peace now.”

“I don’t know if what I’ve done is right. Next, I’ll hypnotize her again to make her forget her first personality who fell in love with Lone Wolf and awaken her second personality. According to my inference, her first personality will completely disappear and gradually merge into the second personality in the future. When she thinks of Lone Wolf again after a decade or two, the weight of Lone Wolf in her heart won’t be as heavy as it is now. Her focus will also be placed on her current family.”

Yu Minglang remained silent.

Xiao Qian stared at Lone Wolf’s grave marker, and the man in the photo looked at the world with a peaceful gaze. She couldn’t guess the thoughts of someone who had already passed away and didn’t know if he would approve of her actions.

After today, Hu Meijing would have no more unfulfilled wishes in her heart. The Hu Meijing that belonged to Lone Wolf would be completely gone, as if the two lovers were buried together in an unconventional way.

“He wants her to be happy; you did the right thing,” said Yu Minglang.

He could understand Lone Wolf. What Lone Wolf hoped for most during his lifetime was for Hu Meijing to live happily. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left half of his life insurance payout to her in his will. But Hu Meijing wasn’t someone who could easily let go, and if she were to retain her first personality, her remaining life would be spent in pain and reminiscence.

So what Xiao Qian did was the best choice for Hu Meijing and her current husband, and it also followed Lone Wolf’s will.

“Yes, the living will find happiness, but what about those who have already died…” Xiao Qian looked at the grave marker and thought of her daughter.

Both experiencing a great loss, Hu Meijing could escape reality by alternating between personalities, but Xiao Qian preferred to bear the heart-wrenching pain of each recollection instead.

If her Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder was a punishment for failing as a mother, then she would gladly accept this punishment until the day she reunited with her daughter. She would never forget that she once had a sweet little angel.

This choice wasn’t consciously made; it was decided by an uncontrollable force within her soul.

In the end, Hu Meijing chose to bury her first personality with Lone Wolf on this rainy day, which was a form of love.

Xiao Qian punishing herself with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder to not forget her daughter was also a form of love.

No one should say which love is deeper or which love is more valuable; it can only be said that character determines fate.

“Xiao Qiang, if one day you had to choose between ‘forgetting me’ and ‘pain’, which one would you choose?”

“I won’t choose either.”

“Huh?” Xiao Qian looked at him.

Yu Minglang placed his hand on her face, his eyes tenderly meeting hers.

“I’ll let you choose. If you think my pain makes you happy, I’ll endure the pain. If you think my forgetting you is better for you, I’ll pretend to forget you. As long as you’re happy. If one day, I’m like Lone Wolf-”

Xiao Qian blocked his mouth with her hand, and he gently kissed it.

“All I want to say is, if that day comes, you must live happily for my sake. To prevent this tragic ‘what if’ from happening, I’ll do my best to take care of myself, and for me, you should take care of yourself as well. We can both live independently without each other, but accompanying one another through the long years might make this journey of life even more brilliant. If life offers us better choices, why not strive towards a better direction?”
