âWhatâs going on?â Lin Yu pushed past the crowd, ran over, and asked in a panic. âWhatâs all this? What happened here?â
No one answered her. Lin Yu carefully walked up to Xi Cheng and inquired, âXi
Cheng, are you okay? Are you not feeling well? Here, let me help you up.â
Xi Cheng didnât move an inch, so Lin Yu reached out to try and pull him up. Xi
Cheng pushed Lin Yu away and exploded at her. âF*ck off!â
Off-balanced, Lin Yu cried out in surprise and took a step back, only to meet air. She was about to fall down the steps if a housemaid hadnât caught her, but she still sprained her ankle.
Lin Yu was in so much pain that tears flowed down her face, but she didnât make a sound. Han Yuan, who had rushed out and witnessed everything, couldnât help but scold her son. âWhy are you taking it out on Lin Yu? Whatâs this got to do with her?â
Xi Cheng slowly turned around and stared at his mother with reddened eyes. He softly and calmly uttered, âMother, what are you still angry about? You guys got what you wanted, didnt you? Do you guys really think I donât know anything? Would you guys mind telling me what you two said to Fang Xi and what you did to her? Do you dare to tell me?â
âSeven years!â Xi Cheng roared. âSeven! Years! Fang Xi and I have been together for seven years. She gave me the best years of her youth and didnât get anything in return! She didnât even take the bank card I gave her for our daily expenses, let alone the five million you gave her!â
âShe didnât touch a single cent on that bank card! I wasnât the one supporting her; she was the one who fed and took care of me for seven years! She supported me! I didnât give her anything! Not a single thing! She doesnât want anything; she only wants love. She wasted seven years of her youth just because she loved me!â That said, Xi Cheng squatted down and started crying like a child.
Han Yuan was shocked and dazed by Xi Chengâs words. The guests watched this scene and murmured amongst themselves. Lin Yuâs entire body felt cold. The pain in her ankle was nothing compared to the aching in her heart.
The operating roomâs red light was still on. Covered in blood, Ye Kun sat on one of the chairs outside in a daze, watching the blood on his hands dry up bit by bit. The blood congealed on his hands just as his blood coagulated in his veins.
Yun Nan was there, sitting in her wheelchair and looking at the operating roomâs light without moving. A hospital staff had also wheeled Shi Nian over to Yun Nan, and he silently accompanied her. Xiang Yang was pacing back and forth, wearing a pair of flats a nurse had lent her, nervously wringing her hands.
Xi Cheng ran over, panting. He swept his gaze across the people present before heading towards Shi Nian. âHow is Fang Xi?â he asked.
Shi Nian shook his head gently at him. Ye Kun heard his voice and looked up. He abruptly stood up and strode over to shove Xi Cheng, saying, âWhat are you doing here? Leave! She doesnât want to see you!â
Xi Cheng grabbed Ye Kunâs hand and pushed him away. âNo way! The person she wants to see the most is me! Iâve been with her for seven years! Sheâd loved me for seven years!â
Ye Kunâs back slammed into the wall, and like a deflated balloon, he suddenly lost the courage to argue with Xi Cheng. Xi Cheng turned to look at Shi Nian. Just as he was about to say something, Yun Nan spoke coldly, âSo what?â
Xi Cheng was about to speak when Yun Nan said coldly, âYou guys were together for seven years, yet your buddies have never seen her! To their Imowledge, Fang Xi is just a woman you kept on the side! You didnât even deign to give them her name! You treated her like she was just a sordid lover instead of a girlfriend! Mr. Xi! What do you take her for? A nanny! A maid! A bed warmer! A slave!â
Yun Nan glared at Xi Cheng. âShe spent seven years with you. Even a rock wouldâve warmed to her, but your heart didnât! You didnât take the initiative to woo her, but you never rejected her either. You let her stay with you without ever taking any responsibility. You enjoyed her love while portraying yourself as a pitiful man whose hands are tied, but you didnât tell her you already had a fiancée!â
âBecause of that, she became a homewrecker out of the blue! If you want to break up, all you have to do is say the word, and sheâll leave you. Sheâd long prepared herself to do so because, in her heart, she felt that her family background wasnât good enough for you, but you didnât even have the courage to break up with her! Instead, you let your mother and fiancée come to humiliate her. You truly are a vicious scum!â
Xi Cheng couldnât bear the weight of Yun Nanâs words. He stepped back and cried in anguish, âNo, thatâs not how it is. I looked for her! I love her! I honestly do! IâIâve fallen in love with her long ago!â
âYou fell in love with her long ago?â Yun Nan sneered. âHow long ago was that? If you love her, then where were you when your mother and fiancée came to humiliate her? Did you stand up for her? You said you looked for her, but this city isnât that large.. If youâd put your mind to it, you wouldâve been able to find her even if sheâd moved out of the state or even the country, let alone the city! She only moved accommodations within the city, and you canât find her?â
