Of course, when Song Jing let her go, he had meant something else entirely.
He understood Ji Huan.
He knew from the way she had resolutely split from the Ji Family, even when she had nothing, that she was not the type to suffer grievances in silence.
He didn't know what Mrs. Meng had said, but he figured it couldn't have been good. Otherwise, Ji Huan wouldn't have looked that way when she left.
Song Jing was afraid Mrs. Meng's words had hurt her, and that her heart would grow cold toward him as a result. That was why he had taken the liberty of coming to see Ji Huan so late.
"I wasn't thinking clearly. I didn't expect that my mother would…"
'He didn't expect Mrs. Meng would find out?'
'No, that wasn't it. He had planned to tell Mrs. Meng himself.'
'He just hadn't expected her reaction to be so extreme. She'd even delivered an ultimatum: if he insisted on being with Ji Huan, he would be forcing her to kill herself.'
