Standing quietly in the corner, I watched Qin Jingyan and Su Yi on the stage. Their awkwardness and embarrassment were exactly what I had been waiting for. I raised my champagne glass, a cold smile playing on my lips as I softly said, "Cheers to your 'happiness,' my dear sister and brother-in-law."
My friend beside me heard my words and looked at me in shock. "Su Yue, what... what do you mean by that?"
I glanced at her, a glint of mischief in my eyes. "Oh, nothing much, just wishing them well."
"But your tone..." My friend looked at me with confusion.
I interrupted her, "Look at them; aren't they amusing right now?"
At that moment, Qin Jingyan was awkwardly explaining to the guests while Su Yi stood by, her head bowed in tears. My friend glanced between them and me, seemingly understanding something. "You... you arranged all this, didn't you?" I smiled gently without answering directly and raised my glass again toward the stage. "To their 'happiness,' cheers."
The murmurs in the venue grew louder; I knew my purpose had been achieved. As I turned to leave, my friend tightly grabbed my arm. "Are you really happy doing this?"
I paused, looking back at her with a hint of pride in my smile. "Happy? No, I'm satisfied. Very satisfied."
With that, I held my head high and strode out of the wedding venue, leaving chaos and whispers behind me. I knew I had won this game.
In the spacious and bright VIP lounge of the airport, I sat alone on a comfortable sofa, holding a steaming cup of coffee. People came and went around me, but it all felt irrelevant; my thoughts drifted back to that night in Central Park Garden...
On that dark night, the lights of Central Park Garden flickered warmly against the darkness but could not illuminate the depths of despair within me. I sat quietly on a bench, waiting for the mysterious "truth."
Suddenly, a faint scent of perfume broke the silence. I looked up to see an elegant woman approaching slowly. Dressed in a black gown, her jewelry sparkled coldly under the lights.
She sat down beside me and smiled while nodding slightly. I turned to her and asked curiously, "Who are you?"
The mysterious woman smiled faintly but did not respond directly. Instead, she pulled out a folder from her bag and gently handed it to me. "Don't rush to ask; first look at these."
I took it with confusion and opened it, instantly freezing in shock. Inside were detailed records of Qin Jingyan and Su Yi secretly being together, along with mentions of a letter left by his mother and mysteries surrounding his background—information that was utterly distressing. Each word and image pierced my heart like needles.
I stared wide-eyed at the documents in disbelief. How could this be? How could Qin Jingyan betray me? Su Yi is my own sister; why would she do this?
"No, this can't be true!" I shouted uncontrollably as tears streamed down my face. "This is absolutely impossible!" The woman simply watched me quietly, a flicker of pity and compassion in her eyes. "I'm sorry; this is indeed the truth. They are involved with each other."
I clutched the documents tightly, my nails digging into my palm without feeling any pain. My heart had gone numb; all that remained was endless suffering and disappointment.
Time passed slowly as the mysterious woman sat beside me on the bench in Central Park Garden, keeping me company for what felt like an eternity until I gradually regained my composure and sanity.
I looked at her calmly and said, "Now can you tell me who you are?"
The mysterious woman gently took out another folder from her bag. Her eyes were slightly red-rimmed as she trembled slightly while handing it to me. "The answer to who I am is all in here; do as you wish."
With that, she turned and walked away, disappearing into the night. Left alone on the bench that night, I lost love and trust in humanity. I silently vowed that all this pain and collapse would not be mine alone to bear. The show was about to begin...
The familiar sound of footsteps snapped me back from distant memories into reality. I set down my coffee cup with a light laugh and stood up, meeting the gaze of the woman slowly walking toward me.
She walked up to me, stopped, lowered her head to take off her sunglasses, and then looked at me with a gentle smile. I extended my right hand, a smile playing on my lips as I said, "So, should I continue calling you Madam Qin, or..."
She reached out her hand and gently grasped mine, her voice filled with warmth. "Call me Ms. Gu. The Qin Family is long gone. They deceived me for so many years; I deserve to reclaim some interest, don’t you think?"
We exchanged smiles, both of us understanding the story behind that smile. Then, with a hint of concern, Ms. Gu asked, "Are you really not planning to come with me?"
I shook my head with a smile. "The world is so vast; I want to go out and see a different world."
"Then take care of yourself," she said softly.
"You too, take care," I replied.
After saying that, I turned and walked toward the boarding gate. But after just a few steps, I suddenly turned back and flashed her a big smile. "Mom, I'm now called Gu Yanran."
As soon as the words left my mouth, I hurried toward the boarding gate, as if running toward my brand new life...
