But even if she was about to leave this world, Chen Huan wanted Wei Fuping to witness her death with his own eyes, to make him suffer sleepless nights, and to let this guilt haunt him until the day he was buried.
Chen Huan opened the cabinet and took out the dress that she had always treasured and been reluctant to wear. It was the last gift from her mother, so she cherished it dearly.
Putting on the light - blue dress and tying her hair up in a high ponytail, Chen Huan looked at the young and energetic girl in the mirror and gave a sweet smile.
She walked out of the bedroom. Chen Er was doing her homework. Chen Huan tiptoed behind Chen Er, reached out her hands to cover her eyes, and said, "Guess who I am?"
Chen Er made a puzzled "huh" sound. Taking advantage of Chen Huan's inattention, she tickled Chen Huan. The sisters' laughter reached Chen Jianping's ears. Seeing Chen Huan's beaming face, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
At that time, no one knew that this would be the last time they saw Chen Huan.
Chen Huan's farewell was silent, just like any other day. However, this time, she gave some instructions to Chen Er and Chen Jianping respectively. Chen Er didn't take it seriously, as Chen Huan always cared about her like this.
And Chen Jianping was immersed in the joy of Chen Huan's improvement and didn't delve into the deep meaning behind Chen Huan's actions.
Late at night, after Chen Er and Chen Jianping fell asleep, Chen Huan tiptoed out of the house. Wei Fuping had called Chen Huan several times, urging her to hurry up.
In the darkness, the light from the screen shone on Chen Huan's face, making it look extremely eerie. "Wei Fuping, if you want to find me, come to the top - floor building in the city center. I have a surprise for you."
Wei Fuping flew into a rage and said impatiently, "You bitch, better not play any tricks on me, or... Hello? Hello?"
Looking at the hung - up phone, Wei Fuping was even more furious. He gritted his back teeth angrily but had no choice but to go to the place Chen Huan had mentioned.
Chen Huan stood on the top floor, stepped over the railing, and spread her arms. At this moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of freedom.
In this past year, she had suffered too much misfortune. Those who had always lived in the dark would become extremely eager for light. She had struggled desperately, but when she finally climbed out of the abyss, she found that she had been fighting like a caged beast all along.
"Mom, I'm coming to find you. Wait for Huanhuan!" Chen Huan whispered, her tone tender.
At this time, the phone rang. Wei Fuping's angry voice came through, "Where are you? Come out quickly!"
Chen Huan's smile widened. "Look up. You'll see me, won't you?" As she said this, she waved to Wei Fuping downstairs.
Wei Fuping felt something was strange. "What are you standing there for? Come down! Hurry up and go to the club with me!"
Chen Huan directly hung up the phone, closed her eyes resolutely, and jumped. She was like a kite with a broken string, falling rapidly from a high altitude.
With a "thud", the sound of the body hitting the ground echoed. Wei Fuping watched helplessly as Chen Huan jumped from the building. The smile on Chen Huan's face before her death was deeply engraved in Wei Fuping's heart and became a nightmare that he could never get rid of in his midnight dreams.
"The moment I received the news of my sister's death, my heart felt empty. My father was even more severely hit and never recovered. He aged ten years overnight!" Chen Er's eyes were red. Chen Huan's death had always been a scar in Chen Er's heart, a pain that would never fade.
The person in his arms was trembling constantly. Jiang Cong hugged Chen Er tightly, trying to give her the strength to carry on. "Chen Huan lived too tiredly. She just went to a better place and is living happily with your mother."
Before understanding the truth of the matter, no one had the right to persuade others to be magnanimous. Wei Fuping got what he deserved. The pain of losing a loved one was so great that if it happened to Jiang Cong, he would also lose his mind and only want to avenge his loved one personally.
Jiang Cong suddenly understood Chen Er's state of mind. He comforted her, "If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to. I know the rest."
Chen Er shook her head seriously. "No, I want to tell you. These things have been buried in my heart for too long and are almost moldy."
Chen Huan's death was a fatal blow to the Chen family. Chen Jianping completely went crazy. He talked nonsense all day long and didn't even recognize people.
Life still went on. Those who had left were gone forever, while those who were alive still had to keep living.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Er had entered senior high school. Since Chen Huan left, Chen Er's personality had changed greatly. She was no longer submissive. With her father being out of his mind, she had to support this family that only consisted of her and Chen Jianping.
Only by fighting back could she attract everyone's attention and avoid being bullied.
Chen Er became unruly. She fought and became a complete delinquent girl in everyone's eyes. The once - silent girl had finally been ruthlessly polished by time and forced to grow up.
Chen Huan's bedroom had become a forbidden area that Chen Er dared not step into. Two years passed, and Chen Er gradually accepted the fact that Chen Huan had left.
One day, she was cleaning Chen Huan's bedroom with a rag and found the word "He" carved on the wall.
Chen Er had known since childhood that Chen Huan was left - handed. At that time, she even joked that Chen Huan could do her homework with both hands at the same time, saving time and effort.
Although she wondered why there was this "He" word, Chen Er didn't think much about it and just regarded it as an ordinary mark.
She neatly arranged the books on the desk one by one. Just as Chen Er pulled open the drawer and wanted to put the test papers into it, an old and slightly yellowed diary appeared in front of her.
Taking out the diary, she recognized the familiar handwriting. She flipped through it page by page, and her expression changed from calm to angry and shocked.
Chen Huan had detailed in the diary how Wei Fuping had violated her. At this moment, Chen Er finally understood that the "He" word didn't refer to anything else but the nightclub that Chen Huan had mentioned in the diary.
It turned out that Chen Huan had become depressed not because of the great study pressure but because of Wei Fuping's persecution. The pain of being raped was something that Chen Huan couldn't tell others, and no one knew about it.
Chen Er really wanted to make this diary public and tell everyone the truth about Chen Huan's death. However, her rationality reminded her that not many people would believe it. Moreover, since Chen Huan had already passed away, this diary could only be regarded as one - sided testimony and couldn't bring down Wei Fuping.
If it failed, Chen Huan would be criticized after her death, which was the last thing Chen Er wanted to see.
The hatred in Chen Er's heart almost drowned her. She hated Wei Fuping, who had destroyed all her happiness and killed Chen Huan, that pervert.
