Xie Yundu said, "Actually, I have to admit, even if you hadn't appeared, there were already irreparable cracks between Jiang Jin and me. Of course, the blame is all on me. When I was young, I was insecure, narrow-minded, and arrogant. It was my own vanity acting up all the time. I always felt that Jiang Jin's family background was forever superior to mine. I was just a poor kid from a rural village. Her friends looked down on me, and so did she. I even interpreted Jiang Jin's kindness to me as her pitying me, accommodating me..."
At this point, Xie Yundu laughed self-deprecatingly.
"I don't know why I thought that way at the time, why I thought of Jiang Jin like that, even though I clearly understood deep down that she wasn't that kind of person... But I stubbornly believed in my own intuition, clung to my own perceptions and assumptions, and that is the main reason why we drifted further apart."
Wen Kefan listened quietly, silently hearing him out.
