Chapter 300: No Hope
Shen Yihang silently touched the red wine glass in front of him.
Upon closer thought, it was indeed too much of a coincidence, but who would go to such great lengths to frame Yan Ai? And even if it was a frame-up, wouldn't the ultimate beneficiary be Yan Ai herself?
Because of the drugging incident, she successfully married Feng Jue and became the young mistress of the Feng family. Even if it was a secret marriage, she finally got what she wanted. "But what was the purpose of the person who drugged you? Was he trying to help Yan Ai realize her dream?" Shen Yihang asked the question in his heart.
Feng Jue frowned, his eyes became sharp, piercing directly at Shen Yihang, "What do you mean by helping her realize her dream? In that incident, she is the victim."
Shen Yihang felt that he had spoken out of turn. If this incident was really not done by Yan Ai, then she could indeed be considered "innocent".
But he always felt that Yan Ai had suffered no loss in that incident.
"Sorry, I take that back." Shen Yihang didn't want to confront Feng Jue head-on now. He felt that Feng Jue had completely stood on Yan Ai's side now, and it was natural that he would be biased in his judgment of some things.
"However, did you change your mind about Yan Ai because you knew that she was Xingchen?" Shen Yihang tried to wake him up in a different way.
Feng Jue was stunned for a moment.
He had asked himself this question before.
This is one reason, but it’s not the only reason.
What initially caused his self-doubt was Yan Ai's attitude and reaction towards him after the divorce. She really did what she said and was determined to cut off ties with him and the Feng family.
On the other hand, he always thought that Yan Ai was playing hard to get, and that she would take advantage of her mother's preference for her and find ways to remarry him.
As it turned out, he was overthinking it.
Yan Ai had no intention of paying any attention to him at all.
Whenever he thought of this, Feng Jue's heart was filled with bitterness. He could only fill the bottomless bitterness in his heart through his mother's stories of the past and the love she had shown him.
"When I first found out she was Xingchen, my reaction was similar to yours. I thought it was impossible." Feng Jue's eyes were filled with self-mockery. "I've been married to her for three years, and yet I know nothing about her."
Shen Yihang said, "You were forced to marry her, so isn't it normal for you to dislike everything about her?"
The self-mockery in Feng Jue's eyes deepened as he asked, "Is that normal? Then why did you ask me about her that day at Bart's Western Restaurant?"
"That day at the Balt Western Restaurant?" Shen Yihang tried hard to recall it, and after a while, he finally remembered it!
At that time, he suspected that Yan Ai was cheating on Feng Jue, and he did ask Feng Jue what kind of job his wife did.
At that time, Feng Jue told him that Yan Hao seemed to be writing at home, but he said he was not interested in knowing what he wrote specifically or where it was published.
Thinking of this, Shen Yihang was enlightened.
"She didn't want to hide it from you at all? It's you who doesn't want to know?" Shen Yihang came to this conclusion after piecing together the whole process.
Feng Jue nodded slightly, his voice filled with bitterness. "She really didn't intend to hide it from me. It was me who viewed her with a stereotype from the beginning, thinking she was good for nothing and only cared about taking shortcuts. So I shut everything out of her and ignored her."
"Listening to your tone now, I feel like you seem to have fallen in love with her?" Shen Yihang was reluctant to admit it, but when he saw Feng Jue's face full of self-blame and regret, he could no longer deceive himself.
Ningning, there is no hope at all.
