I stared at Zhang Yichen, struggling to keep my eyes from welling up.
At that moment, he stood before me, still wearing that familiar, gentle smile.
His voice was low and soothing. “ Wanqing, don’t worry. Xiao Xing will be fine; we’re family.”
Family? How absurd!
When I returned to the social scene for the first time after my hiatus, I was so disheveled that I couldn’t bear to face the cameras. Zhang Yichen, dressed in a sharp suit, stood behind me. “The past glory means nothing; what matters is whether you want to stand up again.”
In that moment, I thought I had grasped a lifeline.
How could I have known that this lifeline was woven from thorns? Now, with just a little effort, it could ensnare me and leave me bloodied and bruised.
My memory suddenly jumped to a late night when Zhang Yichen drove me home, stopping on a quiet road.
He looked at me with sincerity in his eyes. “ Wanqing, you deserve better. This industry owes you; I will get it back for you.”
He gently held my hand, and the warmth made me forget all my troubles for a moment.
I needed someone to tell me that I could still be loved.
At the wedding, amidst the applause of friends and family, he held the ring and looked at me with such tenderness. He promised to take good care of me and Xiao Xing, never leaving my side.
I closed my eyes; those sweet memories had now turned into daggers piercing my heart.
The warmth and emotion that once filled me had become nothing but irony and disgust.
I wanted to slap myself twice for being so blind as to believe in such a hypocritical charlatan!
“ Wanqing, are you really okay? You look unwell,” Zhang Yichen’s voice broke through again.
“Enough!” My voice was cold, trembling with suppressed emotion.
“Don’t talk to me with your hypocritical facade; I don’t want to hear it.”
Zhang Yichen’s expression stiffened for a moment but quickly regained his composure.
“ Wanqing, what’s wrong with you? I know Xiao Xing’s situation is upsetting you, but you should trust me…”
“Get away from me!” His pretentiousness made me feel sick.
“Zhang Yichen, do you think everyone is as foolish as you? I see through you now; don’t come near me again.”
Zhang Yichen's expression finally cracked completely. After a moment of shock, he suddenly sighed, "Wanqing, I know you're feeling down, but no matter how you treat me, I will stay by your side."
Ha, what a good actor.
I coldly replied, enunciating each word, "I don't need you to stay. Just thinking about everything with you makes me feel sick."
Zhang Yichen didn't say another word; he just stood there staring at me, his chest rising and falling. Then he turned and left in a flustered manner, saying, "I'll go get something."
I walked back to the bench outside the operating room and slumped down. Slowly, I pulled my phone out of my bag. After hesitating for a moment, I dialed the number.
On the other end of the line, Chen Mo Yan's steady voice came through, "Wanqing?"
I took a deep breath but found that even my breathing trembled slightly. "Chen Mo Yan, I need your help."
There was silence for a few seconds on the other end as he quickly sensed that something was off with my emotions. "What happened?"
I quickly organized my chaotic thoughts and told him the truth I had heard and the situation I was in, word by word.
After a moment of silence, Chen Mo Yan's voice came through, filled with anger and concern. "Wanqing, don't be afraid. I will definitely help you! I will not let those two scoundrels get away with this!"
Hearing his promise made my eyes well up with tears, but I forced myself not to let them fall.
From now on, I must be strong enough to hold up my own sky and protect Xiao Xing.
