After setting her free, she regretted it

After five years together, engagement day should have been a milestone. Instead, his girlfriend spends it kissing strangers on a foreign street, publicly bragging about her "freedom" on social media. When he calls to end the relationship, she dismisses his heartbreak as a backwards overreaction to harmless foreign etiquette. Refusing to argue, he quietly walks away from their half-decade of history. But when she finally flies back and demands an airport pickup, she realizes he is truly gone.

Chapter 3

After leaving that day, Song Yu went on a trip again.

I came across her updates on my social media.

She went to Xueyuan with the last travel companion, and in the video, the two drank a bowl of toasting wine under the cheers of a group of local residents.

It seems very happy.

I used to feel suffocated when I saw photos of her with a travel companion.

Today was unexpectedly calm.

I casually deleted her friend and continued to work on it.

Dad's health is not good yet. After handling official duties, I still have to go to the hospital to take care of him.

A week passed like this.

These seven days, I have been filled with busyness, but my mentality has remained stable.

I think it's good to keep going like this.

Surprisingly, when I came out of the hospital that evening, I received a call from Song Yu.

Seeing the familiar number on my phone, I felt a bit dazed and only answered it after a while.

As soon as I connected, I heard the questioning sound coming from over there.

"Chen Le, what exactly do you mean?! Why didn't you take my mother to the hospital for a check-up yesterday!"

"Do you know that the hospital called me today to urge me?"

After being with her, I have been responsible for her mother's illness.

I am responsible for my expenses, including weekly hospital check ups and medical expenses.

She only comes to visit in her leisure time to show filial piety.

When traveling, she hates being disturbed by household chores the most.

I used to be afraid of her worries, so I always handled them well.

But now

I reminded her, "Song Yu, we have already broken up."

"You -" Song Yu was momentarily stunned.

It took me a while to come back to my senses and ask, "What do you mean? Are you serious?"

I feel a bit funny.

She missed the wedding appointment and angered my father by taking him to the hospital.

Looking back, I thought I was joking with her when I said we were breaking up?

I was too lazy to talk to her, so I hung up the phone and blocked her phone number.

I saw her again at the hospital.

I came to accompany my father for an examination, but saw Song Yu holding a man and going through the procedures at the payment office.

That man is young and handsome, and he looks a bit familiar.

It's the "travel icon" that often appears on her social circle.

Song Yu also saw me and took the initiative to arm the man and come to me.

"What a coincidence! What are you doing at the hospital?"

"Something's up." I was very calm.

"By the way, let me introduce you. This is my current boyfriend, Fang Yang."

She looked at the people around her and smiled sweetly.

"We both love freedom deeply, enjoy traveling, and we hit it off right away."

I nodded and said, "Congratulations."

Without seeing a satisfactory response, Song Yu felt a bit unhappy.

"Don't you have anything to say?"

I hesitated for a moment and said, "So... may you get married soon?"

When I used to care about her, I would feel congested and uncomfortable.

But now that I don't care, I naturally don't feel it anymore.

Song Yu's face turned terrifyingly cold.

After a while, I choked out a sentence from between my teeth, "You don't have to say we can do it too!"

I still calmly nodded and congratulated.

Song Yu punched cotton like a punch and finally left in anger.

I didn't care about her, so I turned around and went to the inpatient department to find my dad.

I was not interested in paying attention to Song Yu's affairs until a while later, a friend from college came to me for dinner and talked about her recent situation.

I only found out that she had an accident.

"I heard that her new boyfriend is a scammer."

"I cheated tens of thousands of dollars from her, but in the end, I couldn't make any money and the person disappeared."

My friend approached with a gossipy expression on his face.

I was a bit surprised, "How do you know?"

"She came to me a few days ago to borrow money and said she wanted to treat her mother's illness."

My friend answered, waving his hand as he spoke.

"But don't worry, I didn't lend it to her."

"She went too far with her last wedding, I was crazy enough to lend money to such a woman."

I frowned.

I wanted to comfort myself, we have already separated.

Her affairs have nothing to do with me.
