Tian Zixiong deeply regrets his actions but realizes it is too late. Remembering his deceased wife, he tells Mei Yu and her mother, “I’ll spare you, but you must leave.”
After this incident, Tian Zixiong’s subordinates secretly hid Mei Yu and her mother, planning to release them only if Tian Ye stopped searching for her.
He then orchestrated an elaborate plan to fake Mei Yu’s death, including finding a look-alike and staging a fatal car accident, ensuring Tian Ye would believe she had died. Even Tian Ye’s best friend Hui was forced to participate in this deception to prevent potential clan destruction.
Hui was raised by the Tian clan and struggled with the pain he saw in Tian Ye, but couldn’t speak about it. He truly wanted to share Tian Ye’s pain, but found it beyond his understanding until he found his own love.
Afterward, with Tian Ye feeling extremely depressed, he took Si Xiao Shuang and Hui to Hawaii for relaxation. Tian Zi Xiong arranged for Mei Yu and her mother to be settled in a small town in the north, strictly forbidding them from returning to Tian City or going to Hong Kong.
Gradually, Tian Ye began to fade the memories of the Mei Yu he initially encountered, drifting away from thoughts of her amidst various realistic helplessness and lingering memories.
Returning to the present, in the narrow, old attic, Tian Ye was wiping away Mei Yu’s sister’s tears. He helped Mei Yu to the bed, sitting her down, then crouched beside her, holding her hands, looking up at Mei Yu with a bright smile. “What happened afterward? How did you and your mother end up here?” Although Mei Yu and her mother’s experiences were indeed miserable, they had survived, and Mei Yu hadn’t left Tian Ye. Tian Ye felt especially happy. At this point, even if Mei Yu had suffered more hardships, it could be laughed off because they were now together. What else mattered?
Since being saved from death in the hospital by Tian Zi Xiong, Mei Yu and her mother had been secretly confined in an underground warehouse. The place was dark and damp, with barely any air circulation. Although the guards would periodically bring some food, it was far from sufficient nutrition.
