Chapter 159 - Pushing People

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xu Youyou was silent for a moment before she said, “I think the word ‘cheap’ suits you better.”

Bai Qingyu was stunned.

Xu Youyou was too lazy to pretend to be polite since the other party was not polite either. She said, “Bai Qingyu, where did you get the confidence to call me ‘cheap’? Let’s not talk about the elders separating you and Lin Yin or the fact that your love was like a bubble that would pop with just a soft touch. Back then, before you went abroad, you received three million from Grandma Lin. Lin Yin still doesn’t know about this, right?”

Bai Qingyu’s expression changed drastically, and her eyes widened in shock. She stammered, “W-what nonsense are you spouting?”

Bai Qingyu’s guilt and shame turned into anger.

Xu Youyou said nonchalantly, “You know very well whether I’m spouting nonsense or not. There are many reasons why both of you split up back then, and one of them is that you abandoned him for money. What position do you think you have to speak to me like that? What right do you have to call me the third party in your relationship?”

Bai Qingyu’s eyes shone with tears, but she did not give up and continued to make excuses for herself. She said, “It was that damn old woman who threatened me! She wouldn’t let me go if I didn’t take the check and leave! I was just a student at that time. What could I have done?”

“You could have told Lin Yin about it or reported the threats to the police. However, you didn’t do anything. You only took the check and left,” Xu Youyou said. Then, as though she pitied Bai Qingyu, she said, “If you really loved him, no matter who threatened you, you wouldn’t have left him. In the end, you didn’t love him enough. You loved money more than you loved him.”

Bai Qingyu, who was unwilling to be outdone, said, “What about you? How much did you love A Yin? Didn’t you easily abandon him and find another man immediately?”

Xu Youyou was silent for a moment as though she was thinking about something. After a moment, she said, “You’re right. I didn’t love him that much either. That’s why I easily gave up on him after he abandoned me at our wedding to look for you.”

Xu Youyou’s expression was calm without ripples as she continued to say, “I admit it. I didn’t love him as much as I thought I did.”

Bai Qingyu choked. She did not expect Xu Youyou to easily admit this without any burden.

Xu Youyou did not think she was perfect, and she did not think it was shameful to not love someone enough. Moreover, Lin Yin did not truly love her. Why would she continue loving someone who did not love her?

“Xu Youyou, you…” Bai Yu said before she suddenly stopped after catching a glimpse of a figure walking over from the corners of her eyes. Her eyes flashed, and she suddenly stepped forward to grab Xu Youyou’s wrist.

Before Xu Youyou could react, Bai Qingyu fell, pretending that Xu Youyou had pushed her.

Bai Qingyu fell into the fountain, splashing water everywhere.

Xu Youyou subconsciously took two steps back to prevent the water from splashing her and ended up crashing against something. She looked up and saw Lin Yin’s dark and furious expression.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Bai Qingyu, who was drenched, shivered. She hugged herself and looked on the verge of tears as she said, “Miss Xu, I just want to persuade you to give A Yin another chance. It’s fine if you don’t want to, but is there a need for you to push me?”

Lin Yin stared at Bai Qingyu gloomily without saying anything.

Xu Youyou: “…”

‘Is this the famous melodramatic scene I always read about in novels? Based on the novels, the subsequent plot should be Lin Yin scolding me for pushing Bai Qingyu!’

Not only was Xu Youyou not worried, but she even looked at Lin Yin with a hint of anticipation.

‘Hurry up and scold me!’

Contrary to Xu Youyou’s expectations, not only did Lin Yin not scold her, but he even asked worriedly, “Youyou, are you okay?”

Xu Youyou: “???”

‘This development doesn’t seem right!’

Bai Qingyu’s face was wet, and her mascara had begun to run. She looked at Lin Yin in disbelief as she called out, “A Yin…”

Lin Yin did not even spare a look at Bai Qingyu. Instead, he said, concerned, “Youyou, it’s cold today. Hurry up and go in. Your friends are still waiting for you.”

Xu Youyou blinked her eyes. She felt that Lin Yin had changed into a different person. She did not want to delve into the reason and only said, “Oh.”

Xu Youyou turned around and left. However, after taking a few steps, she paused and turned back to ask, “Bai Qingyu, you said I pushed you?”

Bai Qingyu’s eyes were fixed on Lin Yin as she stood in the mountain, and she did not seem to have heard Xu Youyou’s words.

While Bai Qingyu was immersed in looking at Lin Yin, Xu Youyou walked over and reached out to push Bai Qingyu’s shoulder.

Caught off guard, Bai Qingyu fell again, splashing water everywhere.

This time, Xu Youyou clapped her hands and said, “Alright. Now you can say I pushed you.”

Lin Yin was stunned. When he returned his senses, a faint smile appeared on his face.

“Xu Youyou, you’ve gone too far!” Bai Qingyu glared at Xu Youyou with eyes filled with anger and resentment.

Xu Youyou shrugged and said innocently, “You said I pushed you so I pushed you. What’s wrong?” After that, she turned to ask Lin Yin, “Are you going to scold me on her behalf?”

Lin Yin’s eyes swept over Bai Qingyu in the fountain briefly before he shook his head and said gently, “I’m not going to scold you. Why should I scold you?”

Lin Yin wondered why he did not discover how cute and straightforward Xu Youyou was in the past.

“Alright. I’ll be leaving then,” Xu Youyou said. She turned around and left, waving without looking back.

Lin Yin’s eyes were filled with longing and reluctance to part as he looked at Xu Youyou’s back.

Upon seeing this, Bai Qingyu felt her heart freeze. She sobbed as she said, “A Yin, are you just going to watch as she bullies me?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yin looked at Bai Qingyu.

The strange look in Lin Yin’s eyes caused Bai Qingyu to shiver as she asked, “A Yin, why are you looking at me like this?”

…

When Xu Youyou passed by a room, someone suddenly reached out and pulled her into the room at lightning speed.

It was dark in the room.

Xu Youyou was about to scream when a familiar voice rang in her ears.

“It’s me…”

Xu Youyou relaxed immediately, and she dropped her hand. “You scared me to death.”

Xu Youyou smelled a faint woodsy scent in the darkness as his low and hoarse voice rang in his ears again.

“You were away for such a long time.”

“I met Bai Qingyu and Lin Yin,” Xu Youyou replied honestly. She had no intention of hiding this from Mo Shenbai.

Mo Shenbai chuckled. “I can’t believe you pushed her at the end.”

“She accused me of pushing her when I didn’t. How can I take the blame for nothing?”

Moreover, if Lin Yin had scolded her, at least, it would be worth it.

In the darkness, Xu Youyou felt Mo Shenbai’s warm fingers gently caressing her face, and her heart began to race.

“Youyou, why are you so cute?”
