Chapter 881 Have I Returned It to You?
Lian Lifan never expected that the person who would always obey and agree with him no matter what he said would suddenly become temperamental and talk back to him.
After a brief moment of surprise, Lian Lifan's face grew increasingly gloomy, and his gaze toward Lin Yuxiu became increasingly hostile.
"Stop talking nonsense and changing the subject. What I'm asking you is, you clearly knew who I was, so why didn't you say so just now? Were you deliberately trying to make a fool of me in front of so many people? Don't forget that we're a couple, I'm your boyfriend. If you don't help me, you'll only be the one who suffers!"
Listening to Lian Lifan's seemingly confident questioning, Lin Yuxiu felt her heart had completely turned cold.
Did you ever give me a chance?
"What?"
"Did you give me a chance to speak? When Miss Ye offered to let me announce your identity, what did you say? You said that we were assigned to different places this time, and that I had limited information about your identity, so you refused."
"That's because...that's because..." Lian Lifan already disliked Ye Wanxi. Before her identity was revealed, Ye Wanxi's words sounded like mockery and sarcasm to him at the time.
Lian Lifan didn't think there was anything wrong with his "counterattack" at the time. He just didn't expect Lin Yuxiu to actually know the clues, and he didn't expect that his words at the time would later become a slap in the face.
Lian Lifan felt that Ye Wanxi must have known something beforehand, so how could he be blamed for this?
Blame Ye Wanxi for meddling, and blame Lin Yuxiu for not passing on such an important message to him in time, even though she was clearly on his side.
"That's because I didn't think about it at the time. Since you knew, you should have stopped me then and told me. Yuxiu, what are you doing? You're my girlfriend, we're one. If I don't complete the mission, you'll suffer too. Why can't you think more about me? Now you've made me lose face, and we can't even have a decent dinner. Are you satisfied now?"
It has to be said that shameless people can really make even unreasonable things seem reasonable, and turn black into white.
Lian Lifan was initially a little guilty, but the more he talked, the more confident he became. His face was full of anger, and anyone who didn't know better would think that Lin Yuxiu had done something to wrong him.
Looking at him like this, Lin Yuxiu felt as if the mask of hypocrisy that she had never dared to face had been torn away. The person in front of her seemed to have really changed beyond recognition, becoming someone she could no longer recognize.
"You keep asking me why I didn't think more about you, why I didn't tell you, but have you ever asked me? We were just unlucky to be assigned to different locations for this shoot, but Miss Zhao and the others were in the same situation. So why were they able to know the information the other party had so accurately? Because even though they were assigned to different locations, they were always together."
“After lunch, Mr. Li went to see Miss Zhao. After staying at Miss Zhao’s place for a while, the two of them returned to Mr. Li’s place together. So, they know each other’s situation very well. But what about you? You didn’t even set foot in the courtyard I was assigned to for an entire day, and you didn’t say more than five sentences to me about this matter. How could I tell you these things?”
Li Guangjun's courtyard was right next to Lin Yuxiu's, and Zhao Yun'er was a lively person.
For an entire afternoon, she listened to the lively sounds next door from behind that not-so-high wall, while feeling the loneliness and desolation of her own side.
Sometimes you really can't make comparisons. Once you do, you can easily see many things clearly and expose the illusion that was supposed to be maintained but was already on the verge of collapse.
"You too..." Lian Lifan was so enraged by Lin Yuxiu's accusations that he was about to question her, but he stopped midway through his sentence.
What happened to her too? Unlike him, she didn't just sulk and stay away from everyone all day.
She went to see him, but he was in a bad mood and she was scolded by him before leaving with Ye Wanxi and the others.
Lin Yuxiu had known Lian Lifan for so many years, and although Lian Lifan hadn't finished speaking, she still guessed what he was about to say, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.
"You just said I was changing the subject?" Lin Yuxiu gave a self-deprecating laugh. "I just wanted to tell you that you can't hide your feelings for someone. Miss Si likes that gentleman, so the camera always unconsciously follows him; she can't hide it. I came to this show with you, and even though we've only been apart for a short time, I already miss you and want to see you. But what about you?"
If you were like me, you wouldn't have gone so long without contacting me, and you wouldn't have assumed I was useless and a burden to you after we met, without even exchanging a word with me.
Lian Lifan choked for a moment, but it was clearly impossible for him to admit his mistake so easily.
Speechless for a moment, he suddenly sighed: "Yuxiu, you weren't like this before. Did they say something to you? Did you really think you were a celebrity like me after you were on the show and so many people recognized you?"
"You're too naive! Don't forget who brought you here, who cared for you, looked after you, lent you money, and helped you with all sorts of miscellaneous things when your parents passed away? Without me, who would know you? Without me, would you be where you are today?"
This is something Lian Lifan has been saying all these years. Back when Lin Yuxiu's family had their accident, he and she were in the midst of a sweet romance.
It was indeed he who accompanied Lin Yuxiu, running around to arrange the funerals for Lin Yuxiu's parents.
It was indeed he who begged his parents to lend money to Lin Yuxiu, helping her temporarily pay off part of her debts and giving her a chance to catch her breath.
At the time, he didn't think much of it, but after Lian Lifan's attitude towards Lin Yuxiu began to change, he often brought it up.
Because he knew that as soon as this matter was mentioned, Lin Yuxiu would feel indebted to him, unable to hold her head high in front of him, and inferior to him.
At this point, no matter what unreasonable demands he makes or how much he scolds her, she will not resist.
Over time, this led to Lin Yuxiu's current timid and hesitant demeanor.
Normally, Lin Yuxiu would have given in long ago upon hearing this.
But today, Lin Yuxiu's condition is clearly different from usual.
Like a camel struggling through the desert carrying heavy luggage, having carried it for too long and suppressed it for too long, it finally explodes because of the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
At that moment, Lin Yuxiu felt only irony and chill in her heart upon hearing his words.
"Yes, you did lend me money back then and helped me. Have I paid you back that money?"
