Chapter 135: Feelings are the least important thing

Chapter 135: Feelings are the least important thing

He was too arrogant and disdainful back then, and never thought he would stumble in love.

Therefore, Wen Jinye's existence was taken for granted by him.

He overlooked many details.

Or perhaps he took it to heart, but he didn't understand it then.

Everything was only realized in hindsight.

He spoke lightly, but his dejected and listless demeanor suggested that he hadn't taken it to heart.

Even with Xu Xiangbai's slow reaction time, he noticed something was wrong.

He tentatively asked again, "Did you ever have feelings for Reporter Wen?"

Fu Yanjing gave an irrelevant answer, saying, "In wealthy families, feelings are the most unimportant thing."

Xu Xiangbai smirked, as if struck by a sudden realization, understanding everything. "Is it unimportant? Brother, do you want to see your heartbroken face?"

The person sitting opposite Fu Yanjing had already drunk quite a bit, and his speech was somewhat drunken and unruly. Upon hearing this, he chuckled and said:

"Young Master Xu, you frequent brothels, don't you understand this feeling best?"

"Those kinds of women are just for fun. Reporters, celebrities, and models are just gimmicks to make themselves have more fun."

"Mr. Fu can have any kind of woman he wants."

Fu Yanjing stubbed out the cigarette with his bare hand, picked up a glass of wine, and gulped it down.

His voice, scorched by the alcohol, was even hoarser. He seemed to be responding, but the gradually sinking tone at the end sounded more like he was trying to convince himself.

"Yes, I could have any kind of woman I wanted."

The door to the private room was opened a crack, and the hand gripping the doorknob tightened its hold.

Wen Jin felt as if the blood in her body was about to freeze.

But she couldn't stop trembling.

It turns out that during those three years when she thought it was a gift, Fu Yanjing had never loved her at all.

He didn't take her seriously.

I saw it all.

Every word they uttered in the private room was like a sharp blade, piercing Wen Jinye's chest.

She longed to go to him, but in the end, she didn't get what she wanted; instead, she became just a casual pastime for him.

Wen Jin felt as if her breath was being squeezed. She tried to breathe in oxygen, but the needle-like pain was like a dense net that tightly bound her.

That familiar feeling of pain made Wen Jin break out in a cold sweat, and she could barely stand.

She could only lean against the cold wall.

So this is why she hesitated to tell Fu Yanjing about her crush?

Her liking only added another layer to their ridicule.

Wen Jin also had a splitting headache, and images flashed through her mind. She tried her best to make those hazy memories clear.

But the pain came before the memories.

Wen Jin also took a few steps back, barely managing to steady her trembling body, when she heard the sound of a cart wheel rolling behind her.

The cold car body hit Wen Jinye's back, and the throbbing pain seemed to resonate with her heartbeat.

"Excuse me, ma'am, I'm sorry."

The young waiter seemed a little flustered. "I'm new here, and I'm not very good at pushing carts yet."

Wen Jin shook her head. "It's my fault for being blind."

In short, it carries a lot of meaning.

The wine spilled on Wen Jinye, leaving him sticky, wet, and disheveled.

The exam paper she wanted to give to Fu Yanjing also fell to the ground, soaked by the spilled wine, the writing blurred.

There's no need to pick it up anymore.

Just like now, she shouldn't have forced certain destinies.

The waiter handed a handkerchief from his pocket to Wen Jinye, who was looking down. "Madam, please wipe your face first."

But a tear unexpectedly fell, leaving a damp patch on the clean white handkerchief.

"Madam, you..."

The waiter was stunned, thinking he had made a huge mistake; how hard and painful must that collision have been?

The dampness on the handkerchief continued to spread.

Wen Jin's emotions collapsed, turning into tears, her eyes becoming the only outlet for her emotions.

Suddenly, she was filled with resentment and regret.

Three years, just for fun.

He can have any kind of woman he wants.

He never cared about her.

Wen Jin finally understood everything.

Her unrequited love for Fu Yanjing was nothing but self-righteous courage.

For Fu Yanjing, it was nothing more than mocking her and giving her a few more years of longing.

Overestimating one's abilities.

Wen Jin didn't take the handkerchief; instead, she suddenly ran out, staggering as she stepped on the soft carpet.

In the vast and empty corridor, her slender figure resembled a butterfly out of control.

Whether it's Wen Jinye at seventeen or Wen Jinye at twenty-six, she should stop liking Fu Yanjing.

No one will have hope for someone who tramples on their sincerity.

Many images finally broke free from the cage of memory and gradually became clear in my mind.

The waiter pushed the liquor cart in and said, "Excuse me, sir, there was a little spillage on your special tequila. I'll go downstairs and have the bartender remix it."

The person who had just been spoken to by Fu Yanjing was still basking in the joy of being seen by Fu Yanjing.

If you really want to categorize him, he's not even a fringe figure in the industry.

My father is a manager at a company, while he is nothing more than a lawless scoundrel who does all sorts of evil deeds.

If he hadn't happened to be brought into this circle by Xu Xiangbai's friend, he would never have had the chance to get involved with Xu Xiangbai's social circle in his entire life.

When he arrived, the person who brought him specifically and sternly instructed him, "Behave yourself and don't cause me any trouble."

But after a few drinks, he instantly lost his senses.

Especially after Fu Yanjing responded to him, he became even more arrogant and lost sight of his own position.

He kicked the waiter in the stomach, yelling, "Do you know who's in this room? Can you afford to pay for this? You're worthless, get out of here!"

Xu Xiangbai frowned. "Where did this idiot come from?"

The person was completely unaware that he was being annoying; he only felt that being able to infiltrate Xu Xiangbai's circle and strike up a conversation with Fu Yanjing was a great honor.

Before he could even recover from the previous conversation, he shamelessly leaned closer to Fu Yanjing and asked, "What kind of woman does Mr. Fu want? Shall I introduce you to someone?"

Fu Yanjing's eyes remained calm, and he only glanced at him condescendingly, without any warmth.

"I just overheard you talking to Mr. Xu about a reporter? Mr. Fu, have you slept with a reporter before? I did too."

The person who brought him in couldn't take it anymore and spat, "Lu Teng, don't think you're so great just because you've had a few drinks. Your rotten cabbages are no match for Mr. Fu."

Lu Teng suddenly felt a bit indignant. "No way! I've slept with Chun too, okay? She was so tight, it was incredibly pleasurable."

"Why don't you tell me you slept with this guy and how long you've been in prison? If you keep nagging, don't blame me for being impolite." The man threatened, afraid of displeasing Xu Xiangbai and Fu Yanjing.

However, the man, who had remained indifferent throughout, lowered his crossed legs and stared at Lu Teng with a cold gaze. "You said you slept with a reporter before?"

Lu Teng suddenly got excited, "Hey, it's not called sleeping, I almost slept with the mother. I ran into some trouble a while ago and was in jail for a period of time. My dad was afraid I wouldn't be able to find a wife, so he gave me 500,000 yuan as a bride price to buy me a reporter as my wife. I slept with her first and then thought about it. I've seen her picture, she's so beautiful."

His tone seemed regretful, but it actually contained a hint of boasting, as he spoke eloquently, as if it were a topic of conversation:

"That night I waited at the hotel until midnight, but they never came. The whole family had vanished. That damn woman made me waste so much money and effort. I think her name was Wen Jinye... I was quite disappointed that I didn't get to sleep with her. Just looking at her face, I could imagine how ecstatic she would be when I was on top of her."

"Jiangbei is only so big. When I meet her, I'll definitely—"

Lu Teng wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by a piercing, muffled explosion.
