Love Gambit: The Untouchable Tycoon is So Dangerous-Chapter 342 - 343 The greatest power in this world is not hatred, but forgiveness

At eight o’clock in the evening, the sky was already completely dark.

Ran Xiangsi walked alone on the quiet night road of the campus, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

At this time, most students had either returned to their dormitories or gone home.

The few strolling outside were mostly couples, taking advantage of the late night to deepen their relationships.

Ran Xiangsi watched one couple after another pass by, seeing them talking and laughing, loving each other, enjoying their happy college days.

Thinking about herself, she wondered: once, she had been just as naive, believing that once she stepped out of the school’s gate, the whole world would be hers.

But who knew, even before she left the school, the harsh reality had already given her a blow, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.

Tired from walking, she chose a long bench to sit down, feeling the coolness of the night wind, her heart also chilled.

Murong Jialan had some matters to attend to at the club that evening. As soon as she received Ran Xiangsi’s message, she immediately dropped everything and rushed to her side.

"Xiangsi, why are you at school so late by yourself? Is something wrong?"

Alan had been worrying about Ran Xiangsi all day. Seeing her safe and sound in front of her now, she should have been happy, but seeing her so desolate made her feel even worse.

Ran Xiangsi shook her head with a smile, even though that smile looked very bitter, "I just can’t figure some things out."

"What is it?" Alan was the best listener, knowing this was when Ran Xiangsi was most confused and needed someone by her side.

"At first, I thought as long as I got my revenge, I would feel satisfied.

But Alan, when I finally got my revenge, when I saw the person I hated kneeling at my feet and begging bitterly, I didn’t feel any pleasure in my heart.

On the contrary, I felt my heart become even heavier. Why is that?"

"..." Alan was silent for a moment, not asking what had happened to Ran Xiangsi that day, but gave her some perspective from her own experience.

"Xiangsi, there’s something I haven’t told you." As she began to speak, her tone clearly became more serious, "I wasn’t born with face blindness. When I was little, I could tell people apart.

But when I was five, my nanny, who had cared for me since I was a child, kidnapped me to repay her husband’s gambling debts...

At that time, the young me was deeply traumatized, and I started refusing to recognize faces, which is why I have this condition now. I saw many psychologists but none could cure it..."

It was the first time Ran Xiangsi heard Alan talk about this, and she couldn’t help but feel moved.

She held Alan’s hand and murmured worriedly, "Alan..."

But Alan comforted her instead, "I’m fine. But I want to tell you something a doctor once said that deeply moved me. The greatest power in this world is not hatred, but forgiveness."

Hearing this, Ran Xiangsi was taken aback, her eyes lost focus.

Forgiveness? Did that mean she had to forgive those who had wronged her?

Did it mean treating everything as if it had never happened?

She couldn’t do it!

Seeing Ran Xiangsi staying silent, Alan gently held her slightly cold hand, "I don’t know what you’ve been through, and I don’t want to sway your thoughts with just a few words.

But Xiangsi, you need to understand, what has happened cannot be changed by anyone.

Aside from facing it calmly and still making yourself live happily, what else can you do?"
