Chapter 79 I Decided Not to Love You Anymore

Lin Yue and the other two were stunned when they heard this.

No one dared to speak, as no one could figure out what He Yanting was thinking.

He Yanting's tone was slightly heavy: "I want to hear the truth."

Huo Qiyu mustered up the courage to speak: "Fourth brother, that's not what we thought. You acted like that, obeying Xue Ruo in everything, and what about Jiang Xu——"

"Over the past few years, apart from anything else, her heart and eyes have really been filled with you. No matter how wronged she was, she never said a word. But you seemed to be disgusted and never responded."

Zhuang Ze nodded in agreement: "Yes, anyone with eyes would think you like Xue Ruo."

He Yanting caught something from their words.

"She suffered a lot of grievances?"

Huo Qiyu sighed, "Fourth Brother, you know how cold you are to Jiang Xu, right? Everyone around you acts according to your wishes. Can they treat Jiang Xu well in private?"

Lin Yue touched his nose and said, "Actually, every year on my birthday, Jiang Xu... oh no, sister-in-law always gives me a gift, saying that I'm your good brother, and it's my due."

Zhuang Ze said, "Me too. She also said that you're under a lot of pressure at work, so she asked us to play with you more and help you relieve stress."

These words hit He Yanting's heart like a heavy hammer.

He was having trouble breathing and felt dizzy.

"Fourth brother, are you okay?"

Zhuang Ze saw that he was not in good condition and quickly helped him into the house to rest.

"You guys go out first, I want to be alone for a while."

He Yanting sat on the sofa, rubbing his temples with his index finger. "Please keep an eye on Jiang Xu for me. Don't let her eat too much ice cream."

Lin Yue and others went out quietly and closed the door.

The three of them looked at each other.

"What's going on? My head is a mess."

Lin Yue frowned.

Zhuang Ze sighed, "I don't understand either. So Fourth Brother has always liked Jiang Xu, so why did he treat her like that in the past?"

Huo Qiyu curled her lips and said, "None of this matters. Remember two things from now on. First, call Jiang Xu sister-in-law when you see her. Second, never make her angry."

Jiang Xu had just finished eating ice cream and was looking for a trash can when he ran into Jiang Xueruo.

She planned to pretend not to see it, as she always did.

"Don't worry, I won't go to Shengyu Group anymore. Brother Yan Ting promised to send me to an art museum for internship."

When she walked up to her, Jiang Xueruo spoke lightly, her tone as casually boastful as ever.

In the past three years, Jiang Xu has heard too many words like this.

She curled her lips and said, "What am I worried about? Are you worried that you'll become what everyone calls a pretentious woman? Do you not want to go to Shengyu Group, or are you afraid of being laughed at and dare not go again?"

Jiang Xueruo's face darkened. "You've become much more arrogant recently. Do you think that Brother Yan Ting's asking me to apologize to you means he cares about you? Go and see how Brother Lin Yue and the others treat you. That's what Brother Yan Ting means."

Jiang Xu sneered: "I've just become more arrogant recently. Unlike you, a illegitimate daughter who is not presentable has always been so arrogant."

"you--"

Jiang Xueluo stared at Jiang Xu, and suddenly looked behind her. Her expression changed and her eyes turned red.

"Brother Lin Yue, Brother Zhuang Ze, Brother Qi Yu."

She spoke with grievance, looking like tears would fall at any moment.

When Lin Yue and the others saw that it was Jiang Xu and Jiang Xu, they suddenly felt a headache.

Out of politeness, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xueruo sniffed and complained weakly, "I didn't mean to argue with her, but she came up and called me a bastard who was not worthy of being on the stage."

Whenever she said this casually in the past, Lin Yue and the others would help her get revenge and mock Jiang Xu.

"Ah... well, this is a matter between you two. I won't get involved."

Lin Yue waved his hand and walked away with a smile.

Jiang Xueruo couldn't believe it and looked at the other two.

Zhuang Ze yawned: "Oh my god, why am I so sleepy so early? I should go home and sleep."

Huo Qiyu didn't even look at her. Instead, he said to Jiang Xu, "Sister-in-law, Fourth Brother is resting in there. He's not in good condition. Do you want to go check on him?"

Jiang Xu said calmly, "As long as you don't die, that's fine."

Huo Qiyu: "...You are right."

The three men left, and Jiang Xueruo watched them go with eager eyes, looking a little embarrassed.

Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow: "The three of them are useless. Why don't you go find your brother Yan Ting and try. If you shed a few more tears, maybe he will help you."

Jiang Xueruo bit her lip and glared at her hatefully, then turned and left.

Jiang Xu stayed outside for a while, and a few men came to chat with her, but she turned them away.

Seeing that it was already ten o'clock in the evening, she went to find He Yanting.

Lin Yue said he was in the lounge, and Jiang Xu looked for a few rooms until she opened the door and saw him sitting on the sofa.

He rested his elbows on the armrests, his forehead on his hands, and his eyes were slightly closed.

Looks like he's asleep.

Jiang Xu walked over, and the sound of footsteps woke him up, and he opened his eyes.

When he saw Jiang Xu, he was startled and cried out with his Adam's apple rolling, "Ruanruan."

Jiang Xu looked at his face and felt something was wrong.

There was redness under the eyes and some moisture in the corners of the eyes.

Why does it look like you've been crying?

Impossible?

She had known He Yanting for so many years and had never seen or heard him cry.

Jiang Xu calmed down and said, "It's time to go back."

After saying that, he turned and walked away, but suddenly his wrist was grabbed.

His palm was extremely hot, burning Jiang Xu uncomfortably. She struggled a bit and asked, "What are you doing?"

He Yanting looked up at her, paused for a few seconds, and said:

"sorry."

Jiang Xu's eyelashes trembled, and she was a little confused.

He Yanting took her hand and put it on his forehead: "I'm sorry, you have suffered a lot in the past few years."

Jiang Xu lowered his eyes and looked at the man who bowed his head to him. He was silent for a few seconds and said slowly:

"You don't have to apologize. There's no point."

He Yanting shook his head, his eyes burning: "I know I went too far, you have every right to hate me."

Jiang Xu smiled coldly: "He Yanting, you are wrong, I don't hate you."

“People only hate when they are unwilling to accept something and cannot get it, but if they no longer feel it, there will be no hatred.”

She spoke every word, her voice lighter than the night wind outside the window, but each word seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, making He Yanting's mind go blank.

His pupils trembled slightly, and his beautiful lips opened slightly: "No feeling?"

"Yes, I don't feel anything anymore. It doesn't matter which woman you are with or whether you care about me or not."

Jiang Xu's eyes were slightly warm and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"He Yanting, I once really loved you very much. I loved you as if you were my own life, but..."

She thought of the jump in her previous life again.

Tears fell.

"But it's too heavy. I thought I could handle it, but I can't, so—"

She grabbed his hand and tried to pull it away.

"He Yanting, I have decided not to love you anymore. I want to love myself well."

After saying that, she pried his hands apart with great force.

He Yanting stubbornly refused to let go.

Jiang Xu frowned, pried open his fingers one by one, and successfully pulled his hand out.

"I'll wait for you outside, don't keep me waiting too long."

After leaving these words, she left without looking back.
