Chapter 22: They Really Had a Falling Out

  For several days, Ruan Lingfeng did not look for Jiang Xue'er, and Jiang Xue'er also did not contact Ruan Lingfeng. These few days, Jiang Xue'er locked herself in her room, not saying a word. Even meals were delivered to her room by the nanny. Chen Feng saw Jiang Xue'er like this for several days and felt especially heartbroken. Then, from Jiang Xueying, he learned that Jiang Xue'er had a good friend named Chen Xiaohui, so he ordered someone to investigate her phone number.

  "Hello!" Chen Feng originally wanted to call Chen Xiaohui and ask her to take Jiang Xue'er out for a walk, if she let Jiang Xue'er continue like this, she would eventually get sick. Chen Feng didn't know what was wrong with Jiang Xue'er and Ruan Lingfeng's two children, so he called Ruan Lingfeng, but Ruan Lingfeng always said he had no time or was busy, and then hung up the phone, leaving Chen Feng very frustrated.

  "Hello, may I ask who you are..." Chen Xiaohui asked.

  Chen Feng said: "Are you Xiao Hui? I am Xue Er's mother."

  Chen Xiaohui politely said: "Oh, Auntie, hello."

  Chen Feng said with some embarrassment: "Xiao Hui, do you have time? Auntie wants to ask a favor of you."

  Xiao Hui smiled and said: "Auntie, you say it."

  Auntie wants you to come over to our place, Xue'er has been feeling down for the past two days. You're her best friend, Auntie was thinking of asking you to take her out and clear her mind, maybe she'll feel better. What do you...

  "Auntie, don't worry, I'll be right there."

  Chen Feng said: "I'll send someone over to pick you up right away."

  Chen Xiaohui said: "No need, it's not far from here, I can just take a taxi." Chen Fengxin felt a bit uneasy, "Then be careful on the road."

  When Chen Xiaohui arrived at the Jiang family's mansion, Chen Feng took Chen Xiaohui to Jiang Xue'er's room. Jiang Xue'er was lying on the table, staring blankly at her phone. Although she had a falling out with Rong Lingfeng, she still thought about him in her heart and really hoped he would come find her. She would definitely forgive Rong Lingfeng and live happily together with him, but everything really disappointed Jiang Xue'er.

  "Xue Er, Xue Er..." Chen Xiao Hui saw Jiang Xue Er staring at her phone and knew what she was thinking about. "Xue Er, let's go out and have some fun."

  Jiang Xue'er nodded, perhaps staying in the room all the time wasn't a solution, she really needed to go outside and clear her mind.

  "Auntie, I'm going out with Xue Er."

  "Alright, Snow will be in your care then. I'll have Ah Xin follow you guys and keep an eye on things along the way." Chen Feng said to the bodyguard: "Ah Xin, follow Miss and protect her well."

  "Alright."

  The driver sent them out of the mansion, and all the way, no matter how Chen Xiaohui spoke to Jiang Xueer, Jiang Xueer didn't respond. Chen Xiaohui saw that Jiang Xueer wasn't speaking, so she quietly accompanied her.

  "Let's go sing," Jiang Xue'er said suddenly.

  Chen Xiaohui said: "Okay."

  The driver took them to KTV, where Jiang Xue'er sang sad songs one after another, and ordered several dozen drinks. She drank continuously, with tears flowing more and more as she drank. She really wanted to use alcohol to numb herself, so as not to feel so painful. Chen Xiaohui saw how much pain Jiang Xue'er was in, and she was really angry at Ruan Lingfeng. This was because it was Jiang Xue'er's first love, and yet Ruan Lingfeng didn't care about her or look for her, so why wouldn't Jiang Xue'er be heartbroken?

  "Xue Er, don't drink too much, if you're sad just cry out loud."

  Jiang Xue'er cried and said: "Xiao Hui, I saw his photos with other women, my heart hurts so much. Xiao Hui, what should I do? I miss him so much, he hasn't responded to me for several days. I called him, but he just said nothing was wrong and hung up. He wasn't like this before, my heart really hurts so much." Jiang Xue'er hugged Chen Xiao Hui and cried loudly, with a heart-wrenching cry. She couldn't hold it in anymore, having suppressed her emotions for several days, and finally let out a good cry today.

  It wasn't until 8 or 9 pm that they left the KTV, and as it happened, Chen Xiaohui ran into another group of male and female friends at the entrance who were going to a bar. Chen Xiaohui had the bodyguard support Jiang Xueer, who was drunk, while my friend chatted and laughed loudly.

  Ran Lingfeng, who was driving on the opposite side of the road, happened to see this scene and turned his car around to come to Jiang Xueer's side. He wanted to pull Jiang Xueer away, but she pushed him away with hatred. Jiang Xueer lost her balance and was caught by a bodyguard. Chen Xiaohui, who was chatting with friends on the side, saw Ran Lingfeng treating Jiang Xueer this way and walked over to Jiang Xueer's side with several friends.

  Ran Lingfeng sneered and said: "Indeed, it's true, Jiang Xue'er. I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person, consorting with these shady characters."

  Chen Xiaohui angrily said: "Ran Lingfeng, speak clearly, what's going on? You should be clear about your own actions. Snow was wronged by you, and you're speaking like this about Snow, treating Snow like that. I really feel sorry for Snow."

  Ran Lingfeng said sorrowfully: "Did I say anything wrong? Look at you, and her too." Ran Lingfeng pointed at Jiang Xue'er who was being supported by a bodyguard and was drunk again. "I haven't seen her for just a few days, and she's already eagerly going to find another man."

  Chen Xiaohui was so angry that she slapped Ran Lingfeng. Ran Lingfeng glared at Chen Xiaohui and said, "Hit me well, hit me, why don't you hit me anymore."

  "That's enough." Jiang Xue'er, although seven-tenths drunk, was still able to clearly hear their conversation. As soon as she spoke, all eyes turned to her. "Ran Lingfeng, am I that unworthy in your heart? What did I do wrong to make you treat me like this?"

  "You yourself know what you've done, you yourself are clear about it in your heart. Do I need to say anything about those filthy things you've done?" said Ran Ling Feng coldly.

  Jiang Xue'er heard this and began to smile bitterly. Every word, every phrase of Ruan Lingfeng's pierced her heart. "Yes, I myself know what I've done, haha, Ruan Lingfeng, it seems I was really wrong. I was wrong in knowing you, wrong in taking you as the most important person, wrong in falling in love with you."

  Jiang Xue'er's dream was shattered, her love had vanished, leaving only pain for Jiang Xue'er. If love had never arrived, if they had never met, Jiang Xue'er's heart would not have ached for Ruan Lingfeng. Perhaps, today's Jiang Xue'er would not be like this. Ruan Lingfeng was also in the same pain, the past emotions, the past love, had become what it is today, Ruan Lingfeng really went mad, because he hurt the one he loved, he hurt her thoroughly. Two people who clearly loved each other, yet hated each other; clearly facing each other, but their hearts were blocked; the intersection of love, hard to let go and hard to part, entwining each other's heart.

  Chen Xiaohui saw Jiang Xue'er running and chased after her all the way, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't catch up to her. The pain in Jiang Xue'er's heart, combined with too much alcohol and having just been discharged from the hospital, made her unable to withstand the shock, and she fainted on the spot.
