Jiang Yujie's mind was completely blank. She heard only a few words of what Mrs. Jiang had said. She probably didn't even understand the gist of what she was saying.
"I heard what your dad said and I was furious, so I argued with him," said Mrs. Jiang. "As we were arguing, we didn't keep our voices down, so Huaizhou heard it. Under Huaizhou's questioning, we could only… tell him."
Mrs. Jiang stopped nervously.
Then, she heard Jiang Yujie's weak and ethereal voice. "Oh. Got it.
"Mom, I am doing well here," said Jiang Yujie, completely ignoring the previous conversation. "Don't worry, I won't overthink and do stupid things. I am doing fine alone and I can take care of myself.
"Mom, believe me. I am not a selfish person. I did stupid things, suffered, and hurt myself. Not living a good life, getting hurt, or even…" Jiang Yujie paused. "If that really happens, I won't mind."
After all, once a person was dead, it was over.
