Chapter 155: Going Crazy
She looked at Tian Qingrong but didn't interrupt.
Tian Qingrong continued:
"I almost escaped to the countryside. I just wanted to change my life and didn't want to live in that cage-like room. I didn't expect to meet Brother Dongyang here. From the first time I saw him, I fell in love with him. I'm glad I chose to go to the countryside, otherwise I wouldn't have met Brother Dongyang. This is the best choice I have made in my life."
"I have never seen such an outstanding young man. Everything about him made me admire him. I tried my best to make myself better. I wanted to get closer to him, but he was so kind to everyone, including me, until Zhang Yaping showed up."
"Although Zhang Yaping came two years later, she came here just for Brother Dongyang. It is true that Brother Dongyang treats her differently from others, but I can see that it is the concern of a brother for his sister, not the concern of a man for a woman!"
"I didn't know Brother Dongyang before, but I knew Zhang Yaping. Her mother is the leader of my father's factory, and her father is a high-ranking official. Our family is the kind that we can't even talk to even if we stand on tiptoe. But so what? Although this girl has a good family background, she has a vicious heart. She is not much nobler than me."
"She looks down on me and thinks that my liking for Brother Dongyang is like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh. But no matter how much I like him, I will never do anything to harm others, but what about her! She has no bottom line for her own selfish desires. She is not worthy of Brother Dongyang at all!"
"Others may not know, but I saw it all! She was the one who did the bad things this time and the second time. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be in such a miserable situation. She not only hurt you, but also Brother Dongyang! She doesn't deserve to like Brother Dongyang at all!"
Tian Qingrong became more and more excited as she spoke.
"This time she was finally caught by the police. I'm thankful that God has a good eye and finally took her away from Brother Dongyang. She won't implicate Brother Dongyang anymore. But her brother came! She is so lucky! She has done so many bad things that she ended up in the police station and became one with the robbers, and she still has a family that can protect her."
When Su Tong heard this, he looked at Tian Qingrong in surprise.
Tian Qingrong smiled bitterly at this time, "When Brother Xing was recuperating at your house, I was hanging around your yard every day. When her brother came to the village, he asked me for directions. I saw her brother and her mother enter your yard, and I also saw you send them away in less than half an hour."
"They came to you, they must be here for Zhang Yaping. You are the victim. As long as you let go, she will be fine, right?"
Tian Qingrong glanced at Su Tong, but without waiting for her to answer, she continued:
"Her brother and her mother are not easy to deal with. They left so quickly. You must have let Zhang Yaping go."
Su Tong looked at her and said nothing.
Tian Qingrong smiled to herself and said:
"Brother Dongyang usually takes care of Zhang Yaping because our two families have a good relationship. If you hold on to her now, Brother Dongyang will be embarrassed. You just don't want to embarrass Brother Dongyang. I put myself in his shoes and thought about it. If it were me, no matter how much I hated Zhang Yaping, I would not be willing to embarrass Brother Dongyang, and I would let her go."
Su Tong looked at Tian Qingrong quietly. She kept talking, her tone was still normal, but tears began to fall down, flowing all over her cheeks.
"I don't know what Brother Dongyang likes about you, but Brother Dongyang really treats you differently, otherwise he would never have moved into your house. I hate you too. You have such a bad reputation, and you caused Brother Dongyang to get hurt... But you are different from Zhang Yaping. Zhang Yaping only holds Brother Dongyang back. Li Weidong said that Brother Dongyang wanted you to follow him to Jing City, but you refused."
"To be honest, I am very grateful to you for this. Thank you for not agreeing to his request. It's not for me, but so that he can go back and focus on his career."
"You know how snobbish people are nowadays. No matter how good or bad you are, your background alone will tarnish Brother Dongyang's future. It will become a topic of conversation for others to look down on and belittle Brother Dongyang..."
"I don't mean to discourage you... I just want to say that your choice is actually the right one..." Tian Qingrong began to cry.
"...My family background is better than yours, but not by much...You don't deserve him, and neither do I...I know it all, I understand it all, but there is no reason to like someone...I just wonder why I have liked Brother Dongyang for so long, but I don't even have the right to be sad for him."
Tian Qingrong finally sat down on the ground and burst into tears.
"I feel so sad... Brother Dongyang is gone, and the whole world has become dark..."
"My heart is empty, I don't know what else I can do here... I don't even have anyone who can listen to me..."
“…”
Su Tong sat down next to Tian Qingrong. The terrain here was slightly higher, and he could vaguely see large patches of withered yellow reeds on the river beach in the distance, like a monotonous oil painting.
After a long time, Tian Qingrong stopped crying. She took a long breath and buried her face in her knees.
Su Tong looked into the distance quietly, never saying a word.
Perhaps her emotions had finally calmed down, Tian Qingrong finally spoke again, her voice low...
"I've been feeling crazy these past few days. The people at the educated youth camp just say I'm daydreaming and it's all my fault... I don't mean anything else, I just want to find someone to talk to."
Then, she looked at Su Tong who was standing beside her. "To be honest, I still admire you very much. If I were you, I might not be so clear-headed and make the most correct choice. Regardless of whether Brother Dongyang was motivated by responsibility or other reasons, if it were me, and he invited me to go with him... I would definitely not be able to refuse..."
As she was speaking, she seemed embarrassed, stood up abruptly, and patted her pants in a panic.
"I...I've talked too much today. I...I'm leaving first!"
Looking at her hurried back, Su Tong said calmly:
"I didn't make a choice. I don't like Xing Dongyang. I just don't want to go to Jing City. If I want to go, no one can stop me."
Tian Qingrong stood there in a daze.
Su Tong also stood up, patted his clothes, walked to Tian Qingrong's side, looked at her red and swollen eyes and haggard face, and said:
"Your background doesn't determine anything. What matters is how you see yourself in your heart."
After saying that, he walked past her and walked back.
Tian Qingrong watched Su Tong walking further and further away, her mind in a mess, but one thought became clearer and clearer. She seemed to understand why Brother Dongyang valued this girl.
"One last question! Since you don't like Brother Dongyang, why did you accept the watch he gave you?"
Su Tong paused, turned around and said:
"Watch? Who said my watch was given by Xing Dongyang? Tian Zhiqing, your imagination is too vivid and will only hurt yourself."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Tian Qingrong's eyes were filled with astonishment, and her mind went "boom"...
It turns out that I was wrong from the beginning.
