Chapter 207 Bold Guess
The bus back to the village started slowly, turned a corner and got on the main road outside.
Looking at the scenery outside, Meng Shulan recalled many things from her previous life.
Perhaps Han Ning's "return" disturbed her mind, and some things naturally emerged in her mind.
She recalled her last year of college when she returned to town for a class reunion during winter break. Han Ning and Ye Ran hugged and kissed at the stairs of the dance hall.
At that time, she and Han Ning had been dating officially for two years, had met their parents, and were planning to get married after graduation.
During the two years that he was dating Han Ning, he was indeed very good to her, indulged her in everything and made people around them envious.
After two years of hard work, Meng Shulan's originally uneasy heart has slowly calmed down, and she thought she had found the right person.
Since I didn't find someone I particularly like, at least I found someone who likes me.
Who knew that reality would suddenly slap her in the face.
At that time, Meng Shulan was planning to break up with Han Ning.
She is a person who cannot tolerate any sand in her eyes and cannot accept such things.
But Han Ning was unwilling to do so. He knelt down on the spot and said that he was drunk and mistook Ye Ran for her.
Meng Shulan found it a little funny. When did she allow Han Ning to touch her like this? The incident that day was a bit ugly. A bunch of classmates tried to persuade him, saying that Han Ning was just drunk and saw things wrong, and it was not a big deal.
Finally, Ye Ran was also pushed out.
She took the initiative to admit her mistake. She was the one who threw herself at him. She had always liked Han Ning since high school.
It was at that time that Meng Shulan realized that Ye Ran had always had such feelings towards Han Ning.
No wonder this person's attitude towards me suddenly changed when I was repeating high school. Not only did he change his dormitory, but he also spoke in a sarcastic tone, as if there was a layer of distance between us.
At that time, Meng Shulan was still wondering if she had done something wrong and offended her.
So that's what's happening!
Meng Shulan figured out a lot of things and became determined to break up.
But Han Ning was too difficult to deal with. He first went to the Meng family to admit his mistake, then turned around and found his brother and took two slaps in the face.
In short, Meng Shulan’s breakup did not go through that time.
Later, she learned that Ye Ran and Han Ning had no contact in those two years. The class reunion was the first time they met after the college entrance examination. The incident in the dance hall was caused by alcohol and was an accident.
But this accident brought the two people closely together.
During those years, Meng Shulan was very cold towards Han Ning because their breakup failed, and their marriage was delayed again and again.
Han Ning appears to be carefully protecting their relationship, but secretly he seeks comfort from Ye Ran.
It was at that time that Ye Ran became Han Ning's secret lover.
Their secret affair continued until Han Ning married her, and instead became even more crazy due to the stimulation.
Meng Shulan remembered that when she was experiencing it before marriage, she met Ye Ran in the corridor of the hospital. She pulled her aside to complain that she had found an irresponsible partner, and that the man was unwilling to get married even though she was pregnant, and even asked her to have an abortion.
Ye Ran grabbed the list and cried heartbreakingly. Han Ning looked embarrassed, and Meng Shulan supported her but didn't know what to say.
During those years, Ye Ran would go to Meng Shulan to apologize from time to time, with a sincere and kind attitude, trying to please her everywhere. For that incident, the silly Meng Shulan had already forgiven her.
In fact, it’s not about forgiveness, but about not caring anymore.
At that time, she really felt a little sorry for this friend who grew up with her in the same village, and she even asked her who the man was and which unit he worked for.
But Ye Ran didn't say it.
How could he say that? That man was right next to him. It was Han Ning! Ye Ran appeared in front of him in such an embarrassed manner. He just wanted to control Han Ning and threaten him.
This is Ye Ran’s method. She puts in a lot of effort and tries her best to hold on to something even if she can’t get it.
During those years, Han Ning was really under pressure, exhausted and decadent. Later, we only got a marriage certificate but we were not even husband and wife.
Meng Shulan once thought that they would divorce soon and their marriage would not last more than a year.
But who could have thought that Han Ning endured it, and so did Ye Ran.
It was because I was stupid at the time that I didn't realize the situation. I thought Han Ning was just like me, regretting getting married and forming a loveless family.
During those years, Meng Shulan had taken the initiative to talk about divorce, but Han Ning always begged for forgiveness and asked her not to abandon him.
After talking so much, Meng Shulan became numb.
Forget it, if they don’t want to divorce, then they don’t. She works overtime and immerses herself in her career and the library. As for marriage, she will just find someone to be a partner and share a house with the company…
"well!"
Thinking of the things that happened in her previous life, Meng Shulan felt speechless.
I was so depressed in my previous life. I seemed to have no interest or passion in marriage and relationships. Everything was being pushed around by others, like a mindless puppet.
But Han Ning...
Meng Shulan frowned. Logically, his ideas should be different from hers, otherwise he wouldn't be so hot with Ye Ran in private.
Wouldn't it be more convenient and reckless for him to be single again?
But why was he unwilling to divorce? Even when he was lying on a hospital bed, he still pretended to be affectionate and was unwilling to give up this marriage.
In my previous life, I only found out about those two people when I died, and I didn’t have time to think about anything else.
Looking back now, Meng Shulan felt that there must be something that Han Ning didn't want to give up. At the beginning, it might be because of his brother's relationship that he didn't dare to give up, or he was reluctant to give up, or he still had some ideas about himself, so he chose to get married.
What happened next? His brother retired from the army, and he was ill, becoming a burden, but he still held on to him. That could only mean that new benefits had emerged and he couldn't let go. Even Ye Ran, who was slowly controlling Han Ning, didn't dare to act rashly, and could only hide behind him in the most unbearable identity.
Meng Shulan had never thought about these things before.
Looking back now, she had a bold guess, maybe it was related to Gu Hansong!
Although Gu Hansong did not return to the city during those years, his career had slowly shifted here, and he would appear at important domestic conferences and large-scale commercial events every year.
Although she didn't contact him at that time, she wondered if Gu Hansong was paying attention to her secretly, thinking that she could live a good life. He had supported Han Ning in her career, so Han Ning and Ye Ran didn't dare to act rashly. One didn't want to divorce, and the other didn't dare to surface.
In the past, Meng Shulan didn’t know that Gu Hansong had always liked her, and she never thought about it in that way.
But now…
Meng Shulan suddenly felt dizzy and uncomfortable.
If this is true, then he is too ridiculous and too pitiful.
Meng Shulan leaned her head against the car window, holding her chest tightly with both hands. She felt so painful there! The aunt who was returning to the town with her saw that she was in great pain and asked with concern, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Meng Shulan shook her head, "I'm fine, I'm fine..."
