Hearing Tian Yan’s words, Wu Wei’s face changed instantly, and at this mont, Cheng Xue i also mustered the courage to lift her head.
When Cheng Xue i’s face appeared in Wu Wei’s view, Wu Wei’s pupils dilated; since their breakup, Wu Wei had not seen Cheng Xue i again.
"You, how did you beco like this?" Wu Wei was sowhat shocked.
In his mory, Cheng Xue i was definitely a great beauty, but now, just seven years later, Cheng Xue i had beco so haggard. Her once fair skin was now incredibly dark, like a woman working in the fields; the change was so great it was astonishing.
Cheng Xue i looked at Wu Wei; Wu Wei still looked the sa as before, handso and elegant, his well-tailored suit complenting his six-foot fra perfectly.
"If I hadn’t changed like this, what should I have beco?" Cheng Xue i retorted.
After all, it was Wu Wei who once let Cheng Xue i down, so deep down, Wu Wei still felt guilty. When he saw Cheng Xue i now, it was evident her life had been very tough, which made Wu Wei feel even more guilty.
But now, he was already married, with children; so things could just be let go. However, if he could help in so way, he would be willing.
"Xue i, if you’re in trouble, I can help you," Wu Wei said.
"Honey, you may not know, but Cheng Xue i still hasn’t married. I’m anxious for her. How about this? That project manager in your company, Old Li, hasn’t he been divorced for several years? Why don’t you help set them up?" Tian Yan said with a smile.
"Old Li? Old Li is a bit too old, isn’t he? He’s already forty, and he has a child, it doesn’t seem suitable," Wu Wei said with so difficulty.
"Not at all. Cheng Xue i is also in her early thirties, perfectly matched with Old Li. Old Li earns about twenty thousand a month, quite a good condition. Besides, Cheng Xue i can’t have children, right? Old Li having a kid is just perfect, fulfilling her wish to be a mother. That’s settled then," Tian Yan said to herself, just using it as an opportunity to humiliate Cheng Xue i.
After speaking, Tian Yan looked at the gloomy-faced Cheng Xue i and smiled, "Cheng Xue i, as an old classmate, I’ll do my utmost to help you. As a woman, you have to learn to dress up. Look at yourself now, just like an auntie. If you go on a blind date with Old Li like this, he might not even fancy you. Tell you what, I have lots of unwanted clothes at ho, all brand nas; I’ll pack them up and send them to you. You’re seeing how clothes maketh the man and adornnts adorn the Buddha? You have to learn to dress up. Look at , we’re about the sa age, but people always say I look only twenty, whereas you, you look forty."
Tian Yan complacently said quite a bit, seeming to care for Cheng Xue i, but in fact, it was just covertly attacking Cheng Xue i.
"I don’t need it. My affairs are none of your concern," Cheng Xue i said coldly, utterly repelled by Tian Yan’s false deanor, wanting nothing more than to slap her. Her pretentiousness didn’t hide her malicious intent.
"I’m concerned for you; there’s no need to be so sensitive. I really think you shouldn’t have such a strong sense of pride," Tian Yan chuckled.
"Yeah, Xue i, Tian Yan ans well. Also, don’t disdain the clothes Tian Yan wore; she buys a lot but only wears them once before discarding. They’re almost new," Wu Wei couldn’t help but say. Naturally, he would take Tian Yan’s side now, after all, Tian Yan was his wife, and for Wu Wei, Cheng Xue i was now just the past.
Cheng Xue i looked at Wu Wei, his words deeply wounding her heart.
"Anything from her, even if new, I’m not keen at all. Wu Wei, you rember, everything I am today is because of you and Tian Yan. I’m doing just fine and don’t need your pity," Cheng Xue i said bitterly.
Cheng Xue i, over the years, still harbored fantasies, thinking Wu Wei still loved her. But from Wu Wei’s attitude and gaze now, there was no sign of affection at all; Cheng Xue i bitterly smiled internally, knowing she had been too naive.
Human hearts can change, and in seven years, so many things could be different. If the world can change, how much more can fragile human hearts.
"Cheng Xue i, don’t be ungrateful. Look at your status. A lower-class person is destined to remain so forever. Dreaming of becoming a Phoenix, your current situation is self-inflicted. If it weren’t for our old school ties, I’d have kicked you out long ago. You have no right to be here."
Tian Yan’s attitude suddenly turned cold, her tone unpleasant.
"Forget it, let’s each go our own way. Tian Yan, let’s head over there." Seeing the hate-filled look in Cheng Xue i’s eyes, Wu Wei didn’t want to stay longer and pulled Tian Yan away. He was living happily now and didn’t want past matters affecting his current happiness.
"No rush. I’m curious, how did they get in? Is this place open to just anyone now?" Tian Yan didn’t plan to let it go.
"I think they snuck in, wanting to see the Luohua Cave Girl. I saw many people outside gathering just to catch a glimpse," one of Tian Yan’s close friends said.
"Then I apologize. Tonight, only those with status are allowed here. Cheng Xue i, I’m sparing your dignity. Leave quickly, or I’ll have security throw you out," Tian Yan said coldly.
Ye Tian had been on the side all along, like a bystander, silent.
Letting Cheng Xue i see Wu Wei’s current attitude might not be a bad thing.
"I may not have the right to be here, but Mr. Mo does. I’m with him, isn’t that okay?" Cheng Xue i said mildly.
"Young Master Ye?" Tian Yan looked at Ye Tian and sneered, "This guy, which rich family is he from, daring to call himself Young Master Ye?"
"Young Master Ye isn’t from Xiangxi. He has a high position outside, better not provoke him," Cheng Xue i warned.
"Ridiculous, what if I provoke him? Right, you’re not leaving, fine, I’ll call security,"
Tian Yan said disdainfully. Ye Tian looked utterly ordinary, with a completely plain outfit, not a luxury item on him, how could he be any sort of rich young master? At most a guy with so money tricking a fool like Cheng Xue i.
The commotion here caught many people’s attention, just as the Cheng Family entered.
Cheng Ying was among them, along with Cheng Kai and his father, Cheng Kai’s hand bandaged, and his father in a wheelchair.
Seeing the father and son injured, many present couldn’t help but inquire about what had happened, though Cheng Kai and his father said little.
Ye Tian saw Cheng Kai and his father, feeling speechless. These two were indeed interesting; despite their injuries, they insisted on coming tonight. Was the Luohua Cave Girl really so attractive?
"Now, even if you three want to leave, I’m afraid you can’t. This manor belongs to the Cheng Family, sneaking in like this, the Cheng Family won’t let you off easily,"
Tian Yan sneered.
