Hearing Yang Cheng's sudden question, Li Jingjing's delicate body trembled slightly. She remained silent and continued to lower her head, not saying a word.
From taking the initiative to visit his home, knocking on his door, saying these words to him, taking the initiative to hug him, and even saying those ambiguous words in front of Lin Ruoxi, Yang Cheng quickly judged that this was definitely not a coincidence.
Yang Cheng looked at her for a while and sighed deeply, but he did not force the girl to say anything.
"I don't know why you did this, but I believe that the Li Jingjing I know will not deliberately plot and use such dark means to destroy other people's feelings." Yang Cheng stared at Li Jingjing and said, "Now, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask anymore. But I hope that this is the first and last time in your life that you are not like you."
After Yang Cheng finished speaking, Li Jingjing finally could not hold it in anymore. Her tears fell to the ground and she sobbed.
Yang Cheng did not comfort Li Jingjing because there was someone who needed comfort waiting for him at this time.
Walking to the door, Yang Cheng looked at the broken porcelain pot and scattered fruits on the ground. Vaguely, Yang Cheng felt a pain in his heart.
At this moment, her heart should be broken like this porcelain pot.
Yang Chen wasn't a fool who was indifferent to relationships. After spending some time together, Lin Ruoxi had become more talkative towards him. She had started to meddle in his affairs and ask about his past. Today, they met again. She had secretly learned how to cook to show her virtuous side to him.
Even if these signs could not show that this woman had fallen in love with him, it was enough to prove that she was trying to accept him, try to love him, and try to be a qualified wife.
However, the words that Li Jingjing said while hugging him were tantamount to a poisonous sharp knife, piercing this woman's proud and pure heart.
In front of her, he had always pretended not to know Li Jingjing, and Li Jingjing had always hidden that she knew him from her.
Lin Ruoxi trusted Li Jingjing so much and treated her like a good friend. But, she never imagined that she would be betrayed by both her husband and her good friend.
Moreover, the betrayal was so thorough, so heartless and cruel …
Yang Cheng always hated himself for not being loyal enough and bringing trouble to women. But this time, Yang Cheng hated himself the most.
Whether Li Jingjing did it on purpose or not, she was at fault.
Yang Cheng walked to the door of Lin Ruoxi's room. With his keen hearing, he could vaguely hear sobbing in the room despite the excellent soundproofing.
Yang Cheng stretched out his hand, wanting to knock on the door. However, he retracted his hand midair.
He wanted to explain, but what could he explain? He didn't know why everything had turned out this way.
After standing at the door for a long time, Yang Cheng returned to his room.
At this time, Li Jingjing was already sitting on the floor. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. When she saw Yang Cheng walking back, she didn't dare to look at Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng slowly sat down on the bed. He was stunned for a moment before he said, "Jingjing, say it. Why did you do this? If you don't say it, then perhaps our fate as friends will be broken."
Li Jingjing raised her head with tears in her eyes. She looked at Yang Cheng and said, "Brother Yang, I will say it. But, please come with me to a place, okay?"
"Where?"
"City Number Two Hospital."
Li Jingjing's words made Yang Cheng feel that things weren't simple. He didn't ask anymore. After leaving the villa with Li Jingjing, he quickly drove to City Number Two Hospital.
When Li Jingjing led the way, the two walked to an intensive care unit. From the glass window outside the ward, Yang Cheng saw the patient lying on the bed in the ward.
"Old Li?"
Yang Cheng was stunned. The sleeping patient lying inside turned out to be Li Jingjing's father, his friend Old Li!
Li Jingjing said softly, "Brother Yang, do you still remember that day when I came to the hospital with my father and happened to bump into you?"
Yang Cheng carefully recalled it. It was indeed once. That day, he deliberately treated Li Jingjing coldly, and he also greeted Old Li.
"In fact, during that time, my father had been saying that he was not feeling well. I brought him here to check his body … and the result …" Li Jingjing choked and said, "The result was a liver tumor …"
Yang Cheng's heart turned cold. He seemed to think of something, but he didn't speak.
Li Jingjing continued, "At that time, our whole family was scared. The doctor said that if we didn't do the surgery in time, the cancer would spread and we would never be able to save him. However, we couldn't get the money for the surgery. I told my father that maybe I could borrow it from Brother Yang, but my parents strongly opposed it and scolded me. They said that if I were to trouble you again, my father would rather drink pesticide and die quickly than do the surgery. "
"I was so scared then, afraid that my father would suddenly leave. However, I had just become a teacher. Even if I took a loan from the bank and mortgaged our house, I wouldn't be able to get enough money," Li Jingjing said, "At that time, someone suddenly appeared. He said that if I did what he said, he would pay for all the surgery fees for my father."
Yang Cheng sighed in his heart. It was indeed as he had guessed. He asked, "Who was it?"
Li Jingjing raised her head slowly, "Brother Yang, do you still remember that time when you accompanied me to buy furniture and the person we met on the way?"
Yang Cheng recalled for a moment and suddenly realized, "Zeng Xinlin!?"
That time when he accompanied Li Jingjing to buy furniture in the furniture city, he accidentally met Zeng Xinlin. Although he felt that his smile was very strange, nothing special happened after that. He didn't expect that he had his eyes on Li Jingjing all along!
"Yes," Li Jingjing said, "He said that as long as I followed his instructions, he would pay for all the surgery fees."
"He's really patient …" Yang Cheng initially thought that after Zeng Xinlin was defeated by Lin Ruoxi in the business field, he would withdraw from this war. He didn't expect that he would keep Li Jingjing as a chess piece. Even if he lost in the business field, he didn't plan to let him and Lin Ruoxi have an easy time.
The two of them slowly walked to a secluded corner of the pavilion outside the hospital. Li Jingjing told Yang Cheng about the details of the development of the matter, allowing Yang Cheng to completely understand what was going on.
It turned out that after Zeng Xinlin found out that Li Jingjing and Yang Cheng had an ambiguous relationship, he sent someone to investigate Li Jingjing's family background and unexpectedly found out that Li Jingjing and Lin Ruoxi were volunteering in the same orphanage. However, not long after, they were brutally attacked by Lin Ruoxi and Zeng Xinlin withdrew from Zhonghai. Thus, the information wasn't put to use immediately.
After Old Li fell ill and was hospitalized, Zeng Xinlin appeared again and told Li Jingjing that the woman that she often met in the orphanage was Yang Cheng's wife. He also told Li Jingjing to use the opportunity in the orphanage to improve her relationship with Lin Ruoxi and then find an opportunity to play tricks between the two of them.
Without a doubt, this was half a threat and half a provocation towards Li Jingjing. Zeng Xinlin knew that because of Yang Cheng's sudden coldness towards Li Jingjing, Li Jingjing was jealous of Yang Cheng's wife and was worried about her father's surgery fees.
Due to these two reasons, even though it was painful, she endured it and agreed to it.
Moreover, Li Jingjing was only an ordinary young female teacher. She wouldn't dare to go against a wealthy family like the Zeng family. As long as Zeng Xinlin threatened her, Li Jingjing wouldn't dare to divulge all of this.
After that, Li Jingjing hid everything and quickly developed her relationship with Lin Ruoxi. Furthermore, through Lin Ruoxi's sudden suggestion of cooking, she found an opportunity and staged this scene today. This was also the result that Zeng Xinlin wanted to see.
Zeng Xinlin wanted to use Yu Lei International's foundation to gain a firm foothold, but he didn't want to lose in the business field. Hoping to get Lin Ruoxi, he naturally lost in the love field. However, it must be said that this time, he cunningly made use of Li Jingjing to come between Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi. Even if he couldn't get Lin Ruoxi, it was enough to cause a huge crisis in the relationship between the two of them and hurt both parties involved.
He made a comeback.
After Yang Cheng's expression changed for a long time, he said, "Jingjing, you should know that he was making use of you. You should have told me earlier."
Li Jingjing said mournfully, "I know I did wrong, Brother Yang, but I … but I really lost my mind at that time. Every time I saw you, you didn't even look at me and treated me so coldly. I would have bad thoughts about Sister Lin. I couldn't control it no matter what … I know I was wrong now, but I hurt you and Sister Lin. I … I really don't know what to do … Brother Yang, you won't forgive me anymore, right? "
"People always make mistakes. I shouldn't have been so cold to you all of a sudden. Maybe between people, if there's more understanding and tolerance, this incident could have been avoided and Zeng Xinlin wouldn't have had the chance to take advantage of him." Yang Cheng sighed and said, "Since things have already come to this, you should take good care of your father. Don't mention this incident to him. Just say that it's a charity donation from an unknown person. I'll go back first. "
"Brother Yang!"
Li Jingjing cried and stopped Yang Cheng who had turned around.
"Is there anything else …" Yang Cheng felt very tired.
"You … You really … Really don't like me anymore …"
Hearing this question with a trembling voice, Yang Cheng froze on the spot.
Seeing that Yang Cheng didn't respond, Li Jingjing's tears fell down once again. Her heart was like dead ashes, and she said in a tone as if she was talking to herself, "Brother Yang, I know you must hate me now. Hate me for being hypocritical and stupid, but please listen to what I have to say.
Do you know how I've been living these days … I can't eat, I can't sleep, these are the most basic things. After falling asleep, I wake up in the middle of the night. Because I don't know how the person I love the most suddenly became a stranger, and he didn't even look at me.
I also don't dare to confide in my parents or anyone else. I'm afraid they'll hate me, so I can only hide in a place where no one is around and cry.
But the real pain is … The person I cry for doesn't seem to think of me at all. I'm the only one like this. It's as if that person has forgotten me and is alone with another woman.
I really want to die, but I can't die, because I'm afraid … I won't be able to see that person again. I won't be able to see you again, Brother Yang … "
Yang Cheng's hands tightly clenched into fists, trembling, and then slowly loosened. He spat out a mouthful of turbid air and strode away without looking back.
Li Jingjing seemed to have exhausted all the strength in her body. She knelt on the ground and looked at Yang Cheng's receding figure with lifeless eyes. In the lonely winter, she was like a delicate flower that couldn't withstand the devastation, silently withering …
