As news of Shājiā'ěr and Mei Lin's wedding reached Jiang Wei during his diplomatic mission, a storm of conflicting emotions raged within him. Anger, frustration, and a sense of betrayal battled for dominance in his heart as he grappled with the implications of their union.
Jiang had always harbored feelings for Mei Lin, though he had never found the courage to confess them. Seeing her pledge her love to another filled him with a bitter sense of regret and resentment, fueling the flames of his anger.
But amidst the turmoil of his own emotions, Jiang also felt a pang of guilt for begrudging his friends their happiness. He knew that their love was pure and true, and that his own feelings could not change that fact.
In a fit of frustration, Jiang lashed out, venting his anger at those around him and questioning the loyalty of his comrades. His words were sharp and cutting, driven by a sense of wounded pride and wounded heart.
But even as he raged, Jiang knew that his anger was misplaced. He knew that Shājiā'ěr and Mei Lin deserved nothing but happiness, and that he must find a way to reconcile his own feelings with the reality of their love.
With a heavy heart, Jiang retreated to gather his thoughts, knowing that he must find a way to come to terms with his emotions before they consumed him entirely. In the quiet solitude of his chamber, he grappled with the tumultuous storm raging within him, searching for a path forward amidst the chaos of his own heart.
