Qin Yue pointed at Lin Wei, "How can you be so unreasonable!"
Guan Wenru gently pressed her mother's hand, signaling her to calm down.
She walked over to her younger brother and exchanged a glance with He Yanzhi.
He Yanzhi watched Lin Wei's family's performance with a cold eye, as if he were watching a clumsy farce.
Guan Wenru looked at Lin Wei and said calmly, "Comrade Lin Wei, you want an explanation? Fine, let's lay it all out. What kind of explanation do you want? Do you want money, or do you want possessions? Or... are you still eyeing something that doesn't belong to you?"
Lin Wei's eyes flickered when she heard Guan Wenru's blunt question. She then sniffed hard, forced out a few tears, and put on a look as if she had suffered a great injustice, her voice trembling with tears:
"Sister Wenru, what you're saying... I... I'm not here to ask for anything. I just feel... when Hongqi and I were dating, so many people in the neighborhood knew about it. If we break up without a clear explanation, how... how can I face people in the future?"
As she spoke, she looked at Guan Hongqi with teary eyes, her tone becoming sincere and humble:
"Hongqi, I was wrong before. I was young and immature, and too willful. I know I was wrong! I came here this time because I really want to get back together with you! Let's sit down as two families, have a good talk, and settle our marriage, okay?"
She leaned forward, almost pleadingly, "I agree to all the conditions you mentioned before! Wherever you're assigned to work, I'll go with you and live a peaceful life with you. I promise I'll never argue with you again! Hongqi, please give me another chance, okay?"
Her heartfelt confession, coupled with her pitiful appearance, would likely make anyone unaware of the truth think Guan Hongqi was a heartless man.
However, Guan Hongqi simply watched her performance with a blank expression, his heart unmoved.
He knew this woman too well; her greed and scheming had long since extinguished the little affection he had left in his heart.
After she finished speaking, he spoke decisively, his voice cold and hard, leaving no room for negotiation:
"Lin Wei, listen carefully... It's over between us a long time ago. We were only dating for a few months at most, so our relationship wasn't very deep to begin with."
If you find it's not right, break up sooner rather than later; it's better for both of you. I'm saying this one last time: there's no way we'll get back together, and there's no way we'll get married! Give up on that idea, move on, and live your own life!
This merciless rejection struck Lin Wei's heart like a heavy hammer.
The pitiful look on her face froze instantly, then transformed into shame, anger, and despair. She could no longer hold back and burst into tears, crying out, "Guan Hongqi! How could you be so heartless! How could you do this to me!"
