Chapter 10 She is his stain
An Ning said nothing more, opened her phone, scanned the QR code to add him, and quickly walked out of the coffee shop.
Staring at her hurriedly leaving back, the person sitting on the seat instantly clenched the phone in his hand tightly.
The friend request sent was a moon hanging in the dark night.
The name is straightforward, An Ning.
Lu Xiyan's chest heaved violently, and his swollen temples made his eyes dark red.
No wonder!
Four years ago, he sent countless messages and made countless phone calls, but all fell on deaf ears.
It turned out that she had changed her contact information a long time ago.
Even WeChat was completely changed.
The circle of friends is blank, there is nothing.
It was as if no one had ever participated in her world in the past few years.
He enlarged the photo and stared at the full moon, with red at the corners of his eyes.
Oh!
moon.
An Ning, have you ever seen true darkness?
......
In the darkness of the corner, An Ning could no longer support her drained body. She leaned against the wall and took deep breaths to calm herself down.
She was almost about to collapse.
She leaned against the wall, trembling all over, and tears instantly blurred her vision.
"Lu Xiyan, I just want to see how you rich young men are different from us ordinary people when it comes to love."
"Ms. An, I just want to see how you, the impoverished people, struggle to survive in such difficult circumstances. It's boring to see you like ants."
An Ning covered her aching chest, tears streaming down her cheeks.
He remembered clearly what she had said, and even returned it to her with double the hatred.
She knew that he hated her.
What hurts more than hatred is the look of disgust, aversion and indifference in his eyes whenever he looks at her.
It was as if she was disgusted with an indelible stain on his precious white shirt.
Like a stranded fish, An Ning leaned against the hard wall and gasped for breath.
Realizing that something was wrong, she rummaged through her bag with trembling fingers, took out a tablet of Sertraline, and swallowed it.
She smiled bitterly.
They are right.
Whether it was her as a person or her two-year marriage with Lu Xiyan.
These are all indelible stains on his life resume.
......
The night fell heavily, and the countless neon lights along the bustling streets were like pairs of prying eyes.
The night wind dried the tears on An Ning's face and blew the green ribbon on her left wrist slightly.
Zhao Li called her and said that An Xian should go to bed, but he was making a fuss and didn't want to sleep because his mother was not around, and asked her when she would be back.
An Ning said she would go back soon, and just as she was about to walk towards the nearby bus stop, a black Bentley suddenly stopped at her feet.
The back seat window slowly lowered, revealing a young, beautiful face with delicate makeup.
Her eyebrows curved, and when she looked over, there was a moment of surprise in her eyes, and then she greeted with a smile, "An Ning? Is it really you?"
An Ning never thought that she would meet Cheng Wanwan so soon - Lu Xiyan's childhood sweetheart and the person he was about to get engaged to.
She greeted An Ning warmly and familiarly, making it impossible for An Ning to ignore her greeting. She replied, "Long time no see."
"I didn't expect to see you here." Cheng Wanwan asked with a smile, "Are you free? Would it be convenient for us to sit together?"
......
In the quiet and cool private room on the second floor of the tea house, the air is filled with the faint fragrance of tea.
Through the rising mist, Cheng Wanwan raised her smiling eyes, but her eyes were looking at An Ning's face.
After four years, she is a little different from before.
But that pretty face still makes people feel disgusted.
"An Ning, I'm sorry to ask you for tea at this time." Cheng Wanwan said with an apologetic smile, "You know I'm not in good health. Xiyan specifically told me to drink less coffee and more tea is good for my health."
When mentioning those two words, Cheng Wanwan paid special attention to An Ning's expression.
Her eyes were calm, neither sad nor happy, and no emotion could be seen.
An Ning stared at the black tea in the white porcelain cup, raised her eyes and asked softly, "Miss Cheng, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"It's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I wanted to catch up with you." Cheng Wanwan pretended to be concerned and moved forward a little, looking at her thin face. "An Ning, you have been living well these years abroad, right?"
"Very well." An Ning asked, "During the time I was away from Jinghai, Miss Cheng's health should have improved a lot, right?"
Speaking of which, Cheng Wanwan was also the matchmaker between her and Lu Xiyan.
Six years ago, because Cheng Wanwan was hospitalized and urgently needed a rare blood source, and An Ning happened to have panda blood, she was deceived by Li Chunfang into selling her blood, and thus met Cheng Wanwan's childhood sweetheart Lu Xiyan.
"It's indeed much better." Cheng Wanwan smiled, her face beautiful, "thanks to Xiyan's care."
"Oh right, speaking of this, I remembered something." Cheng Wanwan opened her handbag and said, "I was thinking that I should invite you to my engagement party with Xiyan. Now that you're back, I just happened to give you the invitation."
She took out a pink velvet invitation with gold inlay from her bag and handed it to An Ning.
The largest golden logo on the cover of the invitation is a combination of two stylish letters - L&C
Lu, Cheng.
The two letters are intertwined, matching each other so perfectly as if they were born together.
Only they knew that six years ago, because of An Ning, Lu Xiyan rejected the marriage proposals from the Lu and Cheng families again and again.
Now they are finally getting engaged.
Of course Cheng Wanwan came here to show off.
An Ning didn't accept the invitation. "Sorry, I probably don't have time to go to the engagement ceremony."
She didn't accept the invitation, and Cheng Wanwan didn't feel embarrassed. She just asked with concern, "Is it because of your mother's illness?"
Realizing that the question was abrupt, Cheng Wanwan explained with a smile, "I heard from Manny and Xiaomin that your mother was ill, so you returned to Jinghai."
"An Ning, medical resources in Jinghai are extremely limited right now. Many ordinary people without resources or connections can't even get an appointment with a specialist or surgery." She looked at An Ning and smiled faintly. "I know a very reputable medical team abroad. If you need it, I can arrange for you and your mother to receive treatment abroad."
“No need—”
Before An Ning could finish her refusal, Cheng Wanwan interrupted her, "Don't worry about the cost, I will help you."
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Cheng." An Ning refused again, "My mother has lived in Jinghai all her life. She only wants to stay in Jinghai, and I believe in Jinghai's hospitals and medical technology."
Cheng Wanwan's smile slowly froze at the corner of her mouth, and she nodded, "Okay."
She took a sip of hot tea and asked casually, "Will you leave Jinghai after your mother's surgery is over?"
"Let's talk about it later." An Ning didn't say "yes" or "no".
Maybe she herself was not sure whether it would be necessary to stay in Jinghai by that time.
It was getting late, and their "reminiscing" came to an end.
An Ning stood up, said goodbye and left.
Watching her back as she walked down the stairs and disappeared around the corner, Cheng Wanwan's smile, which had lasted for half an hour, gradually faded away. The smile in her eyes completely faded away, leaving only a strong contempt.
"An Ning, since you've already disappeared, why do you want to come back?"
"I gave you the opportunity to take your mother abroad. If you don't leave on your own, don't blame me."
