Chapter 809: Chapter 810 Marriage (End 11)_1
He thought, this was the last thing he could do for her, the last attempt to redeem his apologies.
However, when the forr headmaster brought up those things tonight, he realized that the hardships Jing Haohao endured for him weren’t just hardship, but mortal danger as well.
They were right; Jing Haohao had indeed treated him well, sincerely and wholeheartedly.
Yet, in the end, he betrayed that kindness with his own hands.
Shen Liangnian felt as if he had swallowed lead, his heart heavy. He pulled out his phone, gazing at the wedding photo of Jing Haohao and Liang Chen, his eyes started to well up.
How could the woman he had promised to treat well and love for a lifeti in his younger days be marrying soone else now? Will she really marry soone else?
Just look at her in the photo, smiling so beautifully, so content.
She must be happy.
She is truly happy.
But what about him?
It turned out the saying was right, only those who love without regret can move on most easily.
But he, who betrayed love, has to constantly imrse himself in this grief.
Without Jing Haohao, Shen Liangnian is not Shen Liangnian anymore.
His wealth and glory were all due to her struggle.
Without Jing Haohao, Shen Liangnian is not Shen Liangnian anymore.
Even the beat of his heart felt numb.
How could he, in his foolishness, have been enticed away from the woman he desperately wanted to keep in the palm of his hand?
As Shen Liangnian pondered, tears began to stream from his eyes. He raised his hand and rested his phone on his forehead, sobbing intermittently.
He loved Jing Haohao, he truly loved Jing Haohao… he loved her so much, yet he lost that love.
The riverside fell silent, apart from the sound of the wind, the lapping of the water and his cries.
Shen Liangnian didn’t know how long he’d been crying before he finally stopped.
He squatted rigidly in the sa spot for a long ti, before slowly rising to his feet.
Perhaps because he’d been squatting for too long, his legs were numb. As he stood up, his legs cramped, and on the sloped riverbank, he lost his footing and fell into the river.
The icy water flowed into his ears, mouth and nose, seeping into his body.
Although his illness was severe, he still had a long ti left to live.
He knew how to swim, but he couldn’t muster the strength in his arms and legs.
He wondered, was his agonizing experience now the sa as Jing Haohao’s when she fell into this river?
Shen Liangnian felt his strength slowly leaving his body. He sank deeper and deeper, until he finally lost consciousness altogether.
…
Shen Liangnian was dead.
He had once sworn to Jing Haohao: Haohao, I, Shen Liangnian, put my life on the line to promise you, if there ever cos a day when I betray you, I will be punished by divine retribution.
Then, he betrayed Jing Haohao and truly suffered divine retribution.
Shen Liangnian’s body was found four days after he drowned, on the eve of Jing Haohao and Liang Chen’s wedding day, by a fisherman casting his net into the river.
His skin was bloated and pale from soaking in the water for too long, his lips and eyes tightly closed.
The fisherman who discovered him imdiately reported it to the police, who rushed to the scene, confird the identity of the deceased, and sent Shen Liangnian back to the small town where he was born.
