After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Jiang Ting Sees the Letter and Weeps in Remorse

room.

Jiang Ting had been staring at the letter on the table in front of her for half a day now, genuinely unable to guess what Du Ran might have said to her in it.

Could it be that this woman, on her deathbed, had finally come to a sudden realization of regret, knowing how hateful her past actions had been, and had thus specifically written this letter to apologize to her?

Jiang Ting took a deep breath in front of the table, hesitated for a long time, and finally lifted her hand to open the envelope.

The first line that met her eyes was elegantly and neatly written—it read, "Miss Jiang, hello, I am Du Ran."

The handwriting was upright and generous, seemingly reflecting the good upbringing of the letter writer.

Strangely enough, although Jiang Ting’s mood had been very complex, seeing Du Ran’s first sentence now made her feel like she was suddenly relieved of a burden.

Since Du Ran was no longer in this world, she decided to temporarily set aside those feelings of dislike and resentment and seriously read the content of the letter.

However, the more she read, the wider her well-maintained, only slightly wrinkled eyes opened.

By the end, Jiang Ting’s hands holding the letter were shaking violently, her eyes full of disbelief and shock.

Her gaze lingered on the paragraphs written by Du Ran, reading them over and over again.

Her chest heaved violently, and her breathing became labored.

"[...Miss Jiang, please believe that after my divorce with Lu Chengye, I never intended to have any entanglement with him again, nor did I ever consider intervening in your relationship.]

[That night, he forced himself on me against my wishes and took no precautions. From the next morning on, I started having a fever, which lasted for three days before it subsided, and I missed the window for taking birth control pills.]

[Later, when I found out I was pregnant, when I knew that a tiny life was already growing in my womb, I could not bring myself to terminate the pregnancy.]

[It didn’t matter who the father of this child was, nor why she came into being, just because...this child was a living life.]

[Her arrival caused me pain, but her existence also gave me a glimmer of hope for a future I had already given up on.]

[So please forgive my selfishness; I ultimately decided to give birth to this child and raise her.]

[I never intended to let Lu Chengye or your family know of Shengsheng’s existence, but as fate would have it, I am now in the late stages of cancer with not much time left, and Shengsheng is still not of age.]

[I have been raising her alone in the countryside for these years, with no one else to entrust her to, so I could only contact Lu Chengye, hoping he would fulfill his responsibility as a father and take care of Shengsheng in the future.]

[But I also know that Shengsheng’s existence would certainly cause you, as Lu Chengye’s wife and the lady of the Lu Family, much discomfort, so after much hesitation, I still wrote this letter.]

[Miss Jiang, all the past grievances are between our older generation, they are the adults’ mistakes, not related to the child.]

[Shengsheng is a kind-hearted, good child; I dare not hope that you will treat her as you would your own children, but I do hope that you will not be too harsh on her.]

[After all, for the past seventeen years, she has never enjoyed any affection from her family or father, and now she is about to lose her only mother; she is innocent.]

[If you hold any resentment for the past, please direct that resentment towards me.]

[I sincerely apologize to you; it’s just regrettable that I do not have the opportunity to say sorry to you in person, I truly am very sorry.]

[Du Ran, respectfully.]

The date of the letter was last month.

After finishing reading the contents of the letter, Jiang Ting truly felt devastated.

How could...

How could this be?!

What Lu Chengye told her when he mentioned Lu Sheng’s existence wasn’t like this!

Lu Chengye had clearly told her that it was Du Ran who seduced him in the guise of catching up, and he couldn’t control himself and accidentally left behind a seed!
