☆, Chapter 126: Passionate Love

"I'm not Brother An..." Wen Xueyao tried to explain.

Ye Qianan didn't give her the chance at all, "I don't want to hear anything, right? I just want you to come back now, right now!"

"I can't go back." Wen Xueyao was very firm. "If I go back now, I will be walking into a trap. Can you bear to see me suffer? Brother An, I like you. I do everything for you!"

"You harmed Mian Yu for me? When did I ever ask you to do this? You hurt Mian Yu behind my back, and you even pretended in front of me. I really hate myself for not seeing through you earlier!" Every word of Ye Qianan was filled with hatred.

Wen Xueyao was shocked by his hatred and said softly, "I really didn't mean to lie to you. I was just afraid that you would blame me if you knew. I did all this because I love you too much. As long as my sister is around, you won't see the good in me..."

"Don't say anything." Ye Qianan interrupted her, "If you don't come back, there will be nothing more to say between us."

Wen Xueyao fell silent, thought about it, and made one last effort, "Brother An, can you send me some money?"

Beep, beep, beep...

The person on the other end hung up the phone.

Wen Xueyao stared at the screen for a long time, tears slowly flowing from the corners of her eyes, which she wiped away with her hand.

She gritted her teeth and slammed her phone onto the bed.

…

On the other side, at Ye Qianan’s home.

"Did you record it?" Li Ran sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at Ye Qianan who had hung up the phone opposite, and asked anxiously.

"I recorded it." Ye Qianan's expression was still not good, but he was not as furious as before.

He opened WeChat, found Li Ran's message box, and sent the audio he had just recorded.

After receiving it, Li Ran listened to it and then passed it to the studio staff, asking them to deal with it urgently.

In fact, the solution is very simple. Just cut out some words that are unfavorable to Ye Qianan, and concentrate all the conflicts on Wen Xueyao.

"Wen Xueyao doesn't plan to come back." After doing all this, Li Ran was able to take a moment to breathe and finally had the mood to chat with Ye Qianan.

"She knows that if she comes back, she will only face jail time. How could she come back?" Ye Qianan smiled contemptuously.

Li Ran knew that he had a lot of resentment towards Wen Xueyao, so he said, "Forget it. Anyway, with this recording, we can clear ourselves of the charges. To be honest, I never thought that Wen Xueyao loved you so much that she was willing to kill for you..."

"I didn't ask her to do these things, and I've never loved her. Don't blame me." Ye Qianan didn't like hearing him say that. "The only person I loved from the beginning to the end was Mian Yu."

"Okay, I know you're devoted, but Wen Mianyu has been dead for so long, there's no need for you to wait for death in a tree." Li Ran patted his shoulder and comforted him, "After this storm is over, take a break for a while, go abroad to relax, and come back to work after recharging your batteries."

"Do you want me to recharge or do you want to put me on ice?" Ye Qianan looked at Li Ran with dissatisfaction and insightful eyes.

He knew that ever since Wen Mianyu passed away, he had been plagued by scandals because of Wen Xueyao. His originally perfect personality had become shattered and he had even become the object of public ridicule.

Once a person's character collapses, it is difficult to save him. Even if Ye Qianan can clear his name, he cannot clarify the public's impression of him.

He has changed from an affectionate male god to an emotionally fickle scumbag, and even a fence-sitter.

These are the public impressions that Li Ran cannot change no matter how hard he tries.

"That's not what I meant. You're overthinking it." Although Li Ran's thoughts were understood, he didn't say anything too bluntly due to their long-term friendship. "A lot has happened recently. Take this opportunity to recharge. Once the public has forgotten about these things, it will be easier to come back and rebuild your image."

"Yes, if the public forgets to come back, then the public will also forget me, and I will become an outdated artist." Ye Qianan did not buy it and said sarcastically.

Li Ran was being criticized for no reason and his temper flared up. "I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't appreciate it, then forget it. But what's the point of saying this? In this situation, no matter what you do, it's wrong. If you're willing to be scolded, then just keep working. I don't care."

The two parted on bad terms. Li Ran went back to work. Ye Qianan was in a bad mood and had no way to vent, so he thought of the last time in the bar.

In order to provoke Lu Congxu, he told a lot of lies, and he did succeed in stimulating Lu Congxu.

It's only been a few days and he's already the one who's being stimulated.

…

The next morning, Cheng An went out to take out the trash and ran into Wen Mianyu at the elevator door.

"Why are you back?" Cheng An was surprised. He knew that Wen Mianyu was shooting a commercial in City A and had taken leave until tomorrow.

"I've finished filming the commercial, and will be back filming soon." Wen Mianyu was holding a large bag filled with snacks she brought back from City A. "So, am I dedicated, right?"

"I think you're doing this for Brother Lu." Cheng An said disapprovingly.

"It's not normal to do it for my boyfriend. You who have never been in a relationship don't understand that a short separation is better than a new marriage." Wen Mianyu said calmly and boastfully.

Cheng An was furious. "You're not in a relationship. I don't want one! I don't want one! I want to focus on my career."

"Alright, alright, whatever you say is right. Move aside. I'm going up to see Mr. Lu." Wen Mianyu pushed him aside and entered the elevator. She took out two things from her bag and stuffed them into Cheng An's pocket. "Take this for breakfast. It's delicious."

Cheng An looked down and saw bread and milk.

"Thank you." He took it awkwardly.

"I'll go up first." Wen Mianyu pressed the elevator door.

…

Going upstairs, Wen Mianyu used her fingerprint to open the door and was about to go in quietly when she suddenly felt another person breathing beside her.

"Who?" She turned around suddenly, and the next second, someone hugged her waist and the familiar smell of Yu Teng perfume hit her face.

It’s Lu Congxu!

Wen Mianyu's initial struggle turned into strength, and she leaned against the person who came over. "Didn't Cheng An say you were still sleeping? When did you wake up?"

"I just woke up." Lu Congxu put his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. "Why are you back so early?"

"There's nothing to do in City A, so come back early to film." Wen Mianyu tilted her head slightly.

Lu Congxu's breath felt itchy behind her ear.

"Wen Run just called me. Ye Qian placed a recording online. Wen Xueyao is abroad." Lu Congxu gently pressed her down and led her to the living room, stopping in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"That girl is quite lucky. This little thing doesn't require a cross-border arrest. If she had stayed abroad and didn't come back, it would have been really difficult to catch her." Wen Mianyu reached out and opened the curtains.

"I have sent someone over." Lu Congxu said.

"So soon?" Wen Mianyu turned her head. "You said Ye Qian placed a recording. What recording was it?"

She was in a hurry to drive all the way and hadn't looked at her phone since she got up early.

"It's a video call with Wen Xueyao. In it, Wen Xueyao admitted to harming you, and also indirectly admitted that Ye Qianan had no prior knowledge of it." Lu Congxu straightened up and lifted Wen Mianyu's shoulders to make her turn around. "What do you think?"

"Me?" Wen Mianyu rolled her eyes. "Maybe he really doesn't know. After all, it won't do him any good to harm me. He's such a selfish person, he probably won't take the risk. But whether he does or not is none of my business, and I don't care."

When Lu Congxu asked this question, he had no intention of testing her, but he still felt very happy when he heard Wen Mianyu's answer.

Nothing to do with it.

Wen Mianyu doesn't care whether Ye Qianan is innocent or not, which means whether Ye Qianan has any weight in her heart.

Lu Congxu felt that his jealousy in the past was really groundless, and he was also glad that he had expressed his feelings, which was why he now had a special place in Wen Mianyu's heart.

"I really have to thank Xiaorun for this matter. Without him, it would be impossible to overturn the verdict so quickly." Wen Mianyu said.

"Let's not talk about this for now." Lu Congxu said.

"Then what?" Wen Mianyu raised her head slightly.

The golden morning light shining on her face made her skin look even whiter, and even the tiny hairs on her face were clearly visible.

Lu Congxu slowly approached, stopped when he was an inch away from her, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Tell me, can I fulfill my boyfriend's obligations and kiss you now?"

Wen Mianyu's face turned from white to red in just a few seconds. Her eyes wandered and finally she closed them.

"Whatever..." As soon as the two vague words came out, the next second, another warm lip covered her lips.

The sun was shining brightly and the morning breeze was cool. Wen Mianyu felt that even many years later, she would still remember this morning clearly.

…

The Wen Xueyao incident lasted for three whole days on the Internet.

In the past three days, netizens have dug up all the dirt on Wen Xueyao and also found a lot of negative information about Xia Ning. In addition, there are always people who are said to be insiders leaking information about Xia Ning in prison, telling what she confessed today and what she confessed tomorrow. It is extremely lively.

Originally, a young couple in the entertainment industry announced their relationship, but unfortunately it happened to happen at this time, so it didn't make any waves at all. The hot searches were all about the Wen family, and the three siblings of the Wen family took turns to be in the spotlight.

Even the story of Wen Run dropping out of school because of a fight and the story of the sports car family were dug up.

The hot search lasted for three days, and on the evening of the fourth day, an explosive news suddenly came out.

Wen Xueyao was arrested.

The Weibo post was a statement issued by the official police account. Its credibility is different from that of revelations from insiders, and there is no need to doubt its authenticity.

The statement in the notification revealed too little, only a few short lines. How the person was caught, where he was caught, and how the subsequent interrogation went were not mentioned in the police statement.

For a time, people on the Internet were saying that it was a great relief, and there was also more curiosity, and people were looking for information about Wen Xueyao's arrest.

In order to gain traffic, all kinds of information, both true and false, emerge in an endless stream.

…

"Look, this person actually said that Wen Xueyao was captured by an undercover transnational criminal police, and even brought up a drug trafficking leader. What a wild imagination." Wen Mianyu paid attention to the comments when he was free, and the more he read, the more outrageous it seemed to him.

Lu Congxu snatched her phone away and said, "Don't look at it. Go take a shower. I have to go to the police station soon. You should go to bed early."

"What are you going to the police station for?" Wen Mianyu asked.

"I'm cooperating with the investigation. I provided some of the evidence, and the police need to record my statement." Lu Congxu replied.

"You have to be careful when driving there so late at night." Wen Mianyu patted him. "By the way, did you say you would run into Wen Xueyao at the police station?"

"How could that be?" Lu Congxu laughed. "She rarely interrogates people at night. It can't be such a coincidence."

"Well, I'd like to see what she looks like now." Wen Mianyu spread his hands, leaned back in the rocking chair, and rocked it.

Lu Congxu put one hand on the armrest and stood up. "If I see it, I will tell you."

"Don't you think I'm taking advantage of your misfortune?" Wen Mianyu asked with a smile.

"He deserves it." Lu Congxu said seriously.

"Alright." Wen Mianyu snapped his fingers. "I'm a vengeful person. Come back quickly."

After Lu Congxu left, Wen Mianyu began to browse the information on the Internet again, watching netizens make up stories.

In fact, apart from the police officers who participated in the incident yesterday, she was the only one who knew the truth about Wen Xueyao's arrest.

Wen Xueyao should thank Ye Qianan for coming back from abroad.

I don’t know whether to say it’s sad or hateful. Even at this point, Wen Xueyao still can’t forget Ye Qianan. Knowing that Ye Qianan has distanced himself from her and is planning to leave, Wen Xueyao can’t stay any longer and secretly returns to China with the intention of seeing Ye Qianan.

He was then spotted by Lu Congxu's informant, reported to the police, and arrested at the airport.

Wen Mianyu was not present at the arrest scene, so he didn't know what it was like, but he could imagine Wen Xueyao's reluctance and regret.

This silly sister was harmed by a man and finally caught because of the man. She can be said to have put her love brain into practice to the end.

Wen Mianyu didn't know whether she should show sympathy or not.

…

"How was it? Did you meet Wen Xueyao?"

Lu Congxu didn't come back until midnight. Wen Mianyu didn't sleep to wait for him and kept playing with her phone on the sofa.

She sat up when she heard the key. "How did the confession go? What did you say?"

"Why aren't you resting yet so late?" Lu Congxu walked over and glanced down at her bare feet on the floor. "You're not wearing socks, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

"What are you afraid of? The floor isn't cold, especially in the middle of summer." Wen Mianyu said nonchalantly, but her actions were the opposite, as she pulled her feet back onto the sofa.

Lu Congxu sat down beside her and unbuttoned his collar. "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. When I went to the interrogation room, Wen Xueyao was escorted back. We ran into each other in the corridor."

"You really saw her?" Wen Mianyu was surprised. "How is she?"

"He doesn't seem as unwilling as I imagined. He doesn't have much energy and seems to be very lost." Lu Congxu said.

"Because of Ye Qianan, right?" Wen Mianyu sneered. "She came back for that scumbag, but she never saw him until he was arrested. I guess there won't be any chance to see him again in the future."

How could a man like Ye Qianan go to see Wen Xueyao in prison? He was too busy trying to distance himself from her.

"Oh, it's not good to be in love." Wen Mianyu sighed.

"But we still have to fall in love." Lu Congxu pretended to sigh like her.

"Imitate others." Wen Mianyu laughed, "Are you afraid that I will follow your example and not dare to fall in love?"

"Well, I'm a little afraid of falling out of love right at the beginning." Lu Congxu said seriously, "After all, I... finally got a girlfriend."

"Haha..." Wen Mianyu was amused by him, and the vague melancholy caused by Wen Xueyao disappeared in the joke.
