Chapter Fifty-two: Reunion with Chu Liang

  I helped Jiang clean up the room and only then did I understand why he had me sleep on the sofa, because there was only one bed in the entire small building, which was in his bedroom.

  When I discovered this fact, I was so amused that I laughed uncontrollably for a long time.

  Afterwards, I couldn't find where the humor was at all.

  I feel like I'm going crazy.

  I'm now in a state where I've thoroughly gotten myself into a corner and can't get out. To avoid going to Mr. Su's house, I found a locksmith company, verified my identity, and went through the procedures, which were complicated and troublesome, but still managed to pry open the door of room 187 and change the lock.

  Spent an afternoon cleaning the room.

  I still can't bear to think of Yang's wife and two dogs that I abandoned.

  Then I hid alone in the empty big house, wailing and crying out loud, letting out all the discomfort and grievances that came from who-knows-where.

  I finally let out all the negative emotions that had been building up for almost a week with a good cry, then I put on a face mask and opened my computer to play Dou Di Zhu, passing the rest of the time.

  In the middle of the night, Shen Qiwei gave me a shocking phone call: "You stinker, what are you doing?"

  "Sleep."

  "Why is your voice so hoarse?"

  "Haven't woken up yet..."

  "Ah, oh, right, the wedding dress is ready. When are you free? Let's try it on?"

  My drowsiness vanished instantly, and even my tear glands woke up with it. In the midst of the sour pain, I felt tears rolling down from the corners of my eyes.

  I buried my head in the pillow and said nonchalantly, "Just send it over, if it doesn't fit me, I'll have it sent back to you for alterations."

  "Are you okay?"

  "No, I'm so tired, spare me..." I yawned and tears welled up even more. Without waiting to see if she had anything else to say, I hung up the phone first.

  The phone screen flickered with a mocking light in the dark night, I flipped through the call log, flipped through the inbox, still no name of that person, nor his text message, time seemed to have returned to those years...

  I was alone in those years.

  The most real thing was never 'the days when I was with him', but now... this feeling after waking up from the dream.

  I stared at the empty space between my right fingers, and a clear pain came from the left side of my chest cavity...

  There is a negative and sad little man, wearing sharp high heels, in my heart room, dancing with its rhythmic beat.

  The next day, I couldn't get through the long time alone, so I grabbed Yang Yu and used 'heartbreak' as an excuse to stroll around Food Street for a whole afternoon, eating snacks until I was hugging the toilet and vomiting violently.

  Yang Yu couldn't bear listening outside the door: "What's going on between you two? How did it get to this point? Didn't he coax you?"

  I patted my chest, making sure I had spat out everything, then took the mineral water to rinse my mouth and said: "Forget it, he must hate me to death now. From childhood to adulthood, I've only learned crooked ways. I think hiring a private detective is despicable. As the person involved, he's still a big lawyer, how disgusting is that?"

  Yang Yu blinked her big eyes: "You're still speaking up for him now? It's not like you did it, why take the blame?"

  "It's great, let me see my credibility in his heart clearly. I didn't know before, but now that I've seen it, I'm shocked!" I exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Wow! I had no idea trust could have a negative value!"

  My self-entertainment has moved her, she hugged me and patted my back to comfort me: "If we really don't have a romantic fate in this life, let's just buy a handsome guy to raise for the rest of our lives, and then give birth to an adorable baby, that would be perfect."

  "Is your life complete just because you're married and have kids? I think that's really not in line with Miss Yang's style!"

  Yang Yu patted my back and said, "I was talking about you, you're suitable for that kind of style, like us who are worldly companions, you can't play with the carefree and easy-going type, so just give up early!"

  "My Fair Princess?"

  "You still have plum blossom mark!"

  She finally vomited out her stomach and didn't dare let me stay on Food Street anymore, so she hailed a taxi and rushed to the money counter.

  He opened a super luxurious private room, threw me in and said magnanimously: "Sing whatever song you like, don't be polite, it's just the two of us here, even if you cry to death no one will bother about you."

  I ordered a particularly out-of-place "Farewell My Concubine" dish.

  She told her the story of those two men several times, giving her goosebumps that dropped to the ground again and again.

  She said: "You're not hinting at killing yourself, are you?"

  I thought about the scene of 'Wu Jiang self-beheading' and nodded: "That still needs to be prepared, only then will the long sword match my temperament."

  She was completely speechless.

  The handsome waiter came to deliver drinks, I asked him to replace beer with Schweppes.

  He gave me a suspicious look, but still quickly went to change.

  What a joke! The sales of wine and water are also fully commission-based! How can he not switch?

  As a result, I took advantage of the wine and sang a happy breakup all afternoon... When I was hungry, I ate fruit, and when I was thirsty, I drank foreign liquor... This life is really carefree.

  This day was pretty good overall, if you don't count running into Chu Jia's Fifth Young Master, Chu Liang on the way out.

  He goes left when I go left, he goes right when I go right.

  After being bothered for a while, I finally couldn't help but yell at him: "I'm so dizzy from this! Can you stop hovering in front of me like a ball of yarn? Can't you just let me pretend I didn't see you?"

  That person who was blocking the way stood up, looking like he had been shocked by my fierce demeanor. He then suddenly approached me and re-examined me: "Are you Fu Yingxue? How can there be such a big difference?"

  "Sorry, you've got the wrong person!" I yelled at him irritably, stretching out my hand to push him aside: "Would you please let me through?"

  He pointed at me and asked Yang Yu who was standing beside him staring: "What's going on with this?"

  Yang Yu shrugged: "Guess."

  Chu Liang's face was extremely out of place as she curled up the corner of her mouth. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone: "I'll just give your husband a call..."

  "Knit a ball of wool! Are you kidding me? You're saying we're husband and wife!" I directly grabbed his phone, deleted the options he had found, handed it back to him calmly, and lectured: "I'm not in a legitimate relationship with him, don't spout nonsense!"

  Chu Liang glanced at her phone and then at me, furrowed her brow, grabbed my shoulder and dragged me away, not forgetting to call out to Yang Yu: "Guide us and send these two back home!"

  Although I saved on gas money, I was very unhappy and grumbled at him: "Why don't you send me back home first and then take her back? Her car is still parked in the toll parking lot!"

  He looked at me from the mirror and asked in a puzzled tone: "What's so special about you that he's so sure it's you?"

  “……”

  I'm so annoyed with this person who keeps poking at my sore spot! If I had known better, I would have drunk more and vomited all over him!

  "...to have guts or not..."

  "Stop it!" I made a stopping gesture towards him and said: "That's a sister-control plot! Just like my brother fighting over his sister, after getting her he realized it wasn't what he thought, and came to his senses. Can you understand this explanation?"

  He gave me a straightforward glance from the mirror: "You really don't have a heart or lungs."

  "Having all five organs intact is exhausting."

  “……”

  This time he was speechless.

  I'm just one incense stick away from celebrating the fact that the nagging has finally stopped.

  When he sent me off the car, he suddenly said calmly: "Sorry, it was I who let Jiang Huanrui in that day. She said as long as she saw her... I pitied her infatuation and also pitied her unrequited love..."

  That nightmare from that night came back again.

  It was a real nightmare, everything started from that night.

  I swallowed a mouthful of bitterness and pretended to be relieved: "It doesn't matter, it's all in the past. Before this, things had already changed beyond recognition."

  He didn't ask much, and I wouldn't say more. Not even a goodbye was offered. Going home still requires half a night's sleep, who has the time to think about him?
