Chapter 74
"Even if you don't like it, you can only be with me."
In a fit of anger, Cheng Jiamo smashed her phone, only to be dumbfounded when she tried to go through security. Without her phone and cash, she couldn't even take the subway.
Even so, she didn't think of going back to pick up her phone.
She was about to borrow a few dollars from a passerby to buy a subway ticket when a young girl walked by. She quickly went up to the girl, grabbed her arm, and asked gently, "Hello, miss, I'm a student at M University. I lost my phone and don't have any cash on me. Could you help me buy a subway ticket? I'll pay you back as soon as I get back to school."
It was quite a coincidence; the girl was also from M University, in the same year, a sophomore, from the School of Foreign Languages. The girl was very kind and bought her a subway ticket, telling her she didn't need to return it.
Cheng Jiamo got the girl's phone number, bought a new phone at school, added the girl as a friend, and transferred the train ticket money to the girl.
Then she hurriedly took a car to the Film Academy to see Zhan Ningxiang and asked Zhan Ningxiang to call Li Zhuyue.
However, Zhan Ningxiang couldn't get through, and Li Zhuyue didn't reply to her messages.
The two sat in a refreshment shop on campus, and Cheng Jiamo asked, "Did she say when she'd be back?"
Zhan Ningxiang took a sip of her minty milk tea and shook her head: "No, she didn't say where she was going or when she would be back. Summer vacation is coming soon, so she'll definitely be back after school starts in September."
Cheng Jiamo: "If she comes back or contacts you someday, let me know."
Zhan Ningxiang smiled and nodded: "Definitely."
It was quite late when Cheng Jiamo left the film academy. Instead of returning to the school, she went back to Yanyunfang Apartment and stayed there for one night. The next day, she moved all her belongings back to her dormitory and moved back in.
After buying the new phone and logging into all the apps, she immediately deleted He Qingzhao's contact information and changed her profile picture and nickname.
Her roommate noticed something was wrong with her and asked if she had broken up with He Qingzhao. Cheng Jiamo didn't hide anything and told them that she and He Qingzhao had broken up a long time ago, more than a month ago.
No one said anything; everyone just went about their business.
Cheng Jiamo showed no signs of heartbreak; she was neither sad nor frustrated, and continued to study diligently.
For the next ten days or so, besides attending classes, she spent most of her time in the library reading and doing exercises, because she wanted to continue receiving scholarships.
During the past ten days or so, He Qingzhao went abroad. It was because of his business trip abroad that he did not come to the school to find Cheng Jiamo.
After Cheng Jiamo smashed her phone that day, He Qingzhao didn't chase after her immediately. He sat in his car for a long time, until it got dark, and only when his assistant called him did he let the driver drive away.
As for Cheng Jiamo's phone that she dropped on the ground, He Qingzhao had the driver get out of the car and pick it up shortly after she did. After all, there were photos of Cheng Jiamo on the phone, and He Qingzhao couldn't let anyone else take it.
After finishing her final exams, Cheng Jiamo bought a plane ticket to Chongqing to work at her elementary school classmate's skewers restaurant during the summer vacation, with room and board provided.
Her elementary school classmate was named Zhu Yan, who also studied in Beijing. Originally, she had no contact with Zhu Yan. Not long ago, she ran into Zhu Yan while shopping at a mall, and the two added each other as friends.
On the day Cheng Jiamo left, it was raining heavily in northern Beijing. She sat in the car, looking at the rain-soaked car window. Through the misty glass, she watched the poplar trees, the cars, and the guardrails rushing by in the rain.
As she watched, a familiar silver Bentley flashed before her eyes, speeding by and disappearing in an instant. When she tried to look again, the car had already moved ahead and was blocked by other vehicles.
Zhu Yan moved closer to her: "What are you looking at?"
Cheng Jiamo snapped out of her reverie and smiled faintly: "I didn't see anything."
She didn't think much of it, assuming she was just seeing things.
Upon arriving at the airport, Cheng Jiamo shared an umbrella with Zhu Yan and entered the terminal together. However, as soon as she stepped into the hall, she saw He Qingzhao standing in the center of the hall with one hand in his pocket.
Cheng Jiamo paused for a moment, then turned and walked to the other side.
Zhu Yan hurriedly pushed his suitcase to catch up with her, and asked with a smile, "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you."
Cheng Jiamo suddenly reached out and took his arm, whispering, "Let me take your arm first."
Zhu Yan leaned closer to her and lowered his voice cooperatively: "Did you run into your ex-boyfriend?"
Cheng Jiamo: "Mm."
Zhu Yan: "Hey, he's just an ex-boyfriend, what's there to be afraid of?"
Cheng Jiamo: "I'm not afraid."
She released Zhu Yan's arm and strode forward.
Upon arriving at the lounge, Cheng Jiamo sat down in a chair and put on her headphones.
Zhu Yan said, "I'll go buy you a drink."
Cheng Jiamo smiled at him: "Okay, thank you."
No sooner had Zhu Yan left than a tall, imposing figure blocked Cheng Jiamo's path.
Cheng Jiamo looked up and saw He Qingzhao standing in front of her. After just one glance, she lowered her head again and continued looking at her phone.
He Qingzhao squatted down in front of her and took her hand: "Momo..."
Cheng Jiamo flung his hand away and looked at him as if he were a stranger.
He Qingzhao clenched and unclenched his hand that was suspended in the air, then awkwardly lowered it, knelt down on one knee in front of her, and whispered, "Momo, I was wrong, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Cheng Jiamo suddenly felt powerless. She realized that she couldn't communicate with He Qingzhao. It was as if he couldn't understand what she was saying, or rather, he wouldn't listen at all. He only selectively listened to what he wanted to hear.
Since he doesn't want to listen, there's no point in her saying anything more, so she's too lazy to say anything more.
So she went straight for the kill, looking at him calmly: "He Qingzhao, I already have a boyfriend, so please stop bothering me."
He Qingzhao's eyes darkened, and he suddenly picked her up and strode forward.
Cheng Jiamo suddenly leaped into the air, instinctively grabbing his neck before letting go and slapping him across the face, leaving a handprint.
Her eyes were red with anger, and she glared at him with fury!
He Qingzhao carried her into the VIP room, closed the door, and forcefully pinned her against it. His dark eyes stared at her, and his voice, no longer gentle, was chillingly cold.
"Break up with him and come back to me."
Cheng Jiamo had never seen He Qingzhao like this before. A coldness and a wickedness appeared on his body at the same time, as if he had become a different person, which made her feel fear involuntarily.
She swallowed, and said calmly, "He Qingzhao, I don't like you anymore."
He Qingzhao pulled her into his arms, gently nibbled on her earlobe, and whispered in her ear, "Even if you don't like it, you can only be with me. Cheng Jiamo, you can only be mine for the rest of your life, and your body can only belong to me."
The jasmine he watered with his own hands could only bloom for him alone.
Hearing his utterly shameless words, Cheng Jiamo's cheeks flushed red with anger, and her chest heaved.
He Qingzhao gently rubbed her tender red lips with his thumb: "What's mine, unless I don't want it anymore, I won't allow anyone else to touch it, even if I destroy it."
Cheng Jiamo was so angry that she scratched and hit him, drawing blood from his lips and leaving several bloody marks on his face.
He Qingzhao stuck out his sexy, pink tongue, licked the blood off his lips with a cold and wicked expression, smiled, took her hand, kissed her palm, and asked, "Baby, does your hand hurt?"
Cheng Jiaming shook off his hand and angrily cursed, "Pervert! He Qingzhao, you're a complete pervert!"
He Qingzhao wrapped one arm around her waist and the other around the back of her neck, then lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Cheng Jiamo tried to dodge, her lips pressed tightly together, but He Qingzhao was surprisingly strong. He used force, and she couldn't escape at all. In the end, she was kissed by him. She was so angry that she bit his lip hard, drawing blood.
He Qingzhao released her, licked the blood off his lips again, and looked at her with a smile: "I'll let you bite me as much as you want when we get back."
Cheng Jiamo burst into tears, crying out, "He Qingzhao, are you trying to force me to my death?!"
He Qingzhao's Adam's apple bobbed, and he said in a hoarse voice, "As long as you come back to my side, I will agree to anything you ask."
Cheng Jiamo remained silent, her head bowed as she wept in despair.
He Qingzhao pinched her face, forcing her to raise her head. Looking at her red, tear-filled eyes, he felt a sharp, agonizing pain in his heart.
He wiped away her tears and spoke cruelly in a gentle tone: "If you come back to me, I promise to give Li Zhuyue the best resources and make her career a success. Otherwise..."
Cheng Jiaming trembled with anger: "Otherwise what?"
He Qingzhao lowered his head and kissed away the tears at the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile, "Otherwise, she will never be able to get a role in her life, and her life will be ruined."
Cheng Jiamo looked at He Qingzhao's aloof and handsome face as if she were looking at a complete stranger. She felt anger, shock, disbelief, and then a deathly indifference.
At that moment, the phrase flashed through her mind: "To fall in love with someone is like creating a faith, serving a god who may fall at any moment."
The god in her heart had finally fallen, collapsing and falling from his pedestal at this moment.
