Chapter 23: So Stupid
She told her mother all the grievances she had suffered during this period, and before she finished speaking, she had already burst into tears.
She sat in front of the tombstone, gently stroking the cold name with her palm, as if only in this way could she feel that her mother was still by her side.
Just in a different way.
"Mom, I wish you were still here. At least I have someone I can talk to. You will definitely support me, right?"
"I don't know. Why would someone who loved me so much become like this? Can love really change?"
Until now, she didn't even want to investigate whether Li Wenyuan treated her as Jiang Yuyan's substitute.
But regardless of whether it was true or not, the relationship between them had already deteriorated to the point of being foul.
After Lin Rushang vented her emotions, she realized that an hour and a half had passed, but Li Wenyuan, who had just vowed that he would be here soon, was nowhere to be seen.
She actually didn't have much hope for him. It didn't matter whether he came or not.
Lin Rushang was just about to get up and leave when her cell phone vibrated. It was a message from Yang Xin.
The money has been given to the person who helped, and she said thank you.
[It's okay, we're the ones causing trouble.]
She knew very well that anyone who could come into contact with He Tingchen must be a high-level elite. He Tingchen's investigation would definitely be a heavy blow to other people's work and career.
It is still unknown whether I can continue to work in this field in the future.
Asking others for help is equivalent to cutting off half of someone else's territory.
When Lin Rushang returned, she accidentally saw Jiang Yuyan posting on WeChat Moments, and she just clicked on it out of curiosity.
The first photo shows a person cooking millet porridge, and the second photo shows a person sitting opposite the table, drinking the porridge.
Although the face was not shown, she still recognized that it was Li Wenyuan's hand.
Jiang Yuyan also added text.
[I hope to make a loving breakfast for my loved one every morning. He will enjoy it so much.]
The third photo shows Jiang Yuyan pointing at Li Wenyuan’s bowl.
The expression on her face remained calm, but the veins on the back of her hands could not help but show.
They couldn't hold back and couldn't even wait for the last few days. Was Li Wenyuan already planning to let Jiang Yuyan take over his position?
Since she didn't have time to cook porridge for him in the morning, he asked Jiang Yuyan to go to her house to cook it for her.
She didn't even have to think about it, as she already had a picture in her mind: Jiang Yuyan was wearing her apron and slippers, standing in her usual place, cooking porridge for Li Wenyuan with a happy face.
Li Wenyuan stood behind her, his arms around her waist, their faces pressed intimately together.
These scenes were all what she and Li Wenyuan had done in the past. Everything they had experienced seemed still vivid in her mind, but there was already someone new by his side.
Happiness still continues, but it is not her.
Lin Rushang picked up the phone, thought about it again and again, and finally dialed his number.
She asked him.
"Aren't you here yet?"
Jiang Yuyan's voice soon rang out.
"A Yuan, look at me and see if this dress looks good on me. I think all of Sister Rushuang's dresses are so pretty."
"Didn't I buy you a lot of skirts before?"
"No, I think Sister Rushuang's skirt looks better than mine. Hers is new and I haven't worn it yet."
Jiang Yuyan meant something.
"Be good, if you like it, I'll buy you a new one. If you let her wear Rushuang's skirt, what should I say if she asks about it later?"
"Then I'll try it, okay? Then you can buy me the same one."
"Well, be careful, try to put her back in her place."
Lin Rushuang immediately planned to go back and throw away all her skirts. The moment she thought that Jiang Yuyan might be wearing her skirts and making love with Li Wenyuan in the room, she felt nauseous.
The call was inexplicably hung up for some reason.
She sneered, her eyes shrewd. She was probably the one who called, and Jiang Yuyan or Li Wenyuan accidentally answered the call.
If they see the call time later, they will probably be glad that their hearing has not recovered yet, otherwise they would have discovered their affair.
As she expected, less than two minutes later, Li Wenyuan sent her a text message.
[Rushuang, did you call just now? ]
Lin Rushang couldn't help but sneer when she saw these words. She really wanted to recommend Li Wenyuan to be an actor, so as not to waste his excellent acting skills.
She replied, her hands shaking slightly as she typed.
【Are you still coming? 】
"Yes, of course I'm coming. Today is my mother's memorial day, so I definitely have to come see her. However, I have some company stuff to deal with right now. The person in charge of Dingfeng asked me to come over and discuss our previous cooperation. It will probably take another hour."
A hint of coldness flashed in Lin Rushang's eyes.
"It's okay. I've given your thoughts to Mom. Since you're so busy, you should focus on company matters first."
"Then...then please apologize to Mom for me. Next year, I'll definitely go talk to her."
Lin Rushang didn't reply. She kept telling herself that it didn't matter. In just a few days, she wouldn't have to act with Li Wenyuan anymore.
She put away her phone and prepared to leave, but when she looked up, she met a pair of deep, dark eyes. At first, she thought she was seeing things, but later she realized it was really He Tingchen.
The man had a tall and straight figure, and was wearing a well-tailored black suit, which made him look even more stern than usual. His whole body exuded a sense of indifference that kept people at a distance.
Holding a bouquet of chrysanthemums in her hands.
Lin Rushuang hadn't realized yet who he came here to see.
Only then did she suddenly remember that every year on her mother's memorial anniversary, she would always see a bouquet of chrysanthemums placed in front of her mother's tombstone.
But my mother didn't know many people when she was alive. Apart from her own family, there was almost no one else who came to visit her.
Could it be that...
Lin Rushang's doubts were soon confirmed by He Tingchen. He stepped over Lin Rushang, then bent down under her gaze and placed the bouquet of chrysanthemums in front of his mother's tombstone.
The man's deep voice was somewhat teasing.
"It seems your daughter didn't inherit your good genes at all. She's so stupid."
Lin Rushuang couldn't help but frown when she heard his teasing. She seemed uncomfortable if this man didn't say something insulting to her.
But right now she had more important questions for him.
She walked up to him and said, "So, was it you who placed that bouquet of unknown chrysanthemums in previous years?"
"Can't you see the words on it?"
"Words?" Lin Rushuang didn't pay much attention.
He Tingchen glanced at Lin Rushuang as if she were mentally retarded, picked up the chrysanthemum, and found a card inside.
The three letters HTC were clearly written on it.
Lin Rushuang couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Who could have guessed that this was your name?"
Just give three letters and let people guess the full name.
He Tingchen sneered, "Aren't you trying to trade this friendship for cooperation? Why, now you can't even guess my name? You're being too insincere, Director Lin."
