CH 11.3
Chapter 11.3 - Roses
The woman next door appeared to possess mystical powers because she was able to capture him from this far-off, without uttering a word, looking, or even revealing her face. In fact, his analysis revealed that this ancient town was not suited for the development of the tourism industry. He nonetheless signed an investment deal with the town's mayor despite the fact that the town's surroundings were highly picturesque but far away and inconvenient, perfect for a living but not for tourism.
The concept to develop a luxury convalescent town was revised from the original intention to promote tourism. Not for any other reason than to have a good excuse to stay here for a few more days, this was the first and only time he had ever mingled his personal thoughts into work so far.
During those two months, he lived a life he had never thought of, looking forward to the woman leaving the ancient town so that he would be free. One day, two months later, she was finally going to move out. Before leaving, she even came to bid farewell to his neighbour who often went to Cengfan, but at that moment, he did not feel relieved, but extremely depressed. He wanted to forcefully keep her by his side, but there was no reason. His inner self constantly reminded him to stay away from that woman, otherwise, his heart would completely lose control.
So he didn't hold her back and didn't even show any reluctance, he just replied lightly: "See you again by fate."
"See you again by fate," she added with a smile.
Bai Xingfan sat in his yard all night, the day she left the ancient town, looking at her house.
When the first beam of sunlight came, he stood up from the chair, his head was a little dizzy, and his eyes turned black, which was the result of a sleepless night.
He closed his eyes, supported the back of the chair with one hand, and rubbed his temples with the other, thinking: "Let go, let go, I won't miss her anymore."
Two months after returning to Dongfu, he still couldn't forget her. Only then did he realize belatedly that he was in love.
He wants that woman.
He even had her contact number and her home address. But unfortunately, when he was ready to pursue her, she already had a boyfriend and had gotten engaged recently. He blamed him for not taking action when she was in the ancient town because at that time she didn’t have a boyfriend.
After investigation, he found out that the man was Xie Yu, her junior high school classmate, and the two were childhood sweethearts.
However, he didn't choose to retreat despite difficulties, let alone consider the fair competition. Instead, he became more and more determined that he wanted this woman.
Later, he investigated the entire Xie family, waited patiently for another four months, and gave Xie Yu a fatal blow at the wedding.
"Bai, Mr. Bai."
The sudden appearance of Bai Xingfan made Su Yan feel a little guilty. This kind of guilt was based on the price of the Juliet rose in the birdcage. If she didn't know that the rose was so expensive, she wouldn't feel so guilty, although she didn't do anything to destroy it. But it felt like she entered the room where the precious artifacts were placed.
"Why did you wake up so early?" Bai Xingfan asked with a gentle tone.
Su Yan said honestly, "I can't sleep."
Bai Xingfan asked warmly: "Let's go inside?"
Su Yan did not refuse and nodded lightly.
The path in the garden was narrow enough to accommodate two people walking side by side. They walked without saying anything, just enjoying the morning breeze.
Su Yan was not surprised, she had expected that guy to definitely do this. Sighing lightly, her tone was helpless and apologetic: "I’m bothering you."
"No." Bai Xingfan explained, "He asked me to tell you not to come home because your grandmother is very angry."
Su Yan: "..."
Su Yan felt very ashamed after hearing her brother’s message. Although that was her grandmother's way, how could she be willing to expose her family's ugliness to strangers? Su Yan secretly looked at Bai Xingfan, but she didn’t see any unusual expressions.
Perhaps it was also because of Bai Xingfan's moderation that she suddenly had the desire to confide in her—this was how people are, the more they were spied on, the more they wanted to cover themselves tightly and not leave any openings for the other party. A sensitive person would never take the initiative to inquire about other people's privacy, but instead could make others open their hearts to him.
Taking a deep breath, she mustered up the courage to ask: "Have you seen the video on the Internet?"
Bai Xingfan did not deny it: "Yes."
Su Yan expected that answer, but when she heard it, she felt ashamed, so she lowered her head with blushing cheeks and said, "It's embarrassing..."
Bai Xingfan: "Who are you referring to?"
Su Yan sighed helplessly: "Of course it's me."
Bai Xingfan slightly frowned: "Why is that? Why do you think so?"
Su Yan completely opened the conversation: "In front of a large number of family members and friends, the groom fled with his ex-girlfriend. Am I not embarrassed to be a bride? Now that I've been dumped, everyone knows..."
Bai Xingfan: "He should be the one who is ashamed."
"But in the end, it is not he who has to face all the judgmental eyes, but me." Su Yan didn’t care at all and said whatever came to mind, she needed to vent now, Otherwise, she would be driven mad by the depression in her heart. "Since I was with him, many people have scolded me, scolded me for being a mistress, and scolded me for climbing high branches, but I didn't. It was Xie Yu who chased me. It's been a long time since he broke up with Jiang Qi. I also know that they are all waiting to see my good show, waiting for Xie Yu to dump me. I didn't pay attention to those people before and even thought that I would win. Well now, the clown is actually me, they finally got their wish, I was dumped by Xie Yu, and it was at the wedding; how ironic."
She was an ordinary person, and she couldn't resist the eyes of the world, especially those with malicious eyes. She used to think that Xie Yu loved her sincerely, so she had the capital to despise those malicious people, but now, what capacity did she have to suppress those malicious people? Xie Yu's escape from marriage was a serious injury to her. It not only hurt her feelings and dignity but also increased the prestige of those people.
Jiang Qi's appearance at the wedding added a powerful testimony to the trumped-up charge that "she is a mistress." Together, the two of them pushed her into the abyss of malice.
Bai Xingfan listened to her words patiently, and asked in a cold voice: "Does he know that you have been slandered and insulted?"
Su Yan shook her head: "I don't know, I never told him, those people didn't use Weibo accounts. They sent me private messages through WeChat scolding me, and for a period of time I received dozens of private messages scolding me almost every day."
Although she didn't know who these scolding people were, she was very sure that they must be Jiang Qi's friends, and Jiang Qi also acquiesced to their approach.
Bai Xingfan: "Why didn't you tell him?"
Su Yan was silent for a moment: "I don't want him to be upset about me anymore. In order to marry me, he almost broke up with his mother." After finishing speaking, she smiled wryly again "At first, he would rather divorce his mother and marry me," I thought he really loved me, so I was willing to put up with the malice for him, but who knew he was just pretending, and his acting skills are quite good."
Bai Xingfan looked at her, and said without doubt: "In the future, if someone slanders you, you don't have to bear it, and you don't have to hide it."
I will block all malicious intentions for you, and make those people shut up.
Su Yan was noncommittal, thinking: How come later? She and Xie Yu will never have a future in this life.
Su Yan didn’t have the mood to continue talking about Xie Yu, so she changed the subject: "Now not only have I lost someone, but our family has also lost someone. My grandma didn't like me in the first place, and she will definitely attribute all the faults to me. My younger brother asked me to go home in a few days because of this."
"You are not wrong." Bai Xingfan said firmly, "It is Xie Yu who did wrong and didn’t marry you."
Su Yan smiled slightly: "Thank you for your kind words." She said again, "I have caused you a lot of trouble these two days, I just..."
Bai Xingfan didn't give her a chance to finish her sentence: "Anywhere else to go?"
Su Yan: "...No."
"Do you have any money?"
Su Yan: "..." No
"Planning to sleep on the street?"
Su Yan: "..."
Bai Xingfan: "Are you still leaving?"
Su Yan: "..."
