Chapter 272: End of Friendship



In the back garden of the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Yunrong sat alone on the stone steps, gazing at the spring scenery in the garden, feeling endless loneliness in her heart.

"Miss, are you okay?" A girl in a green dress walked up to her and asked softly.

Sheng Yunrong raised her head, looked into the girl's eyes, and smiled, "Cui'er, I'm fine. It's just that some things always take time to digest."

Cui Er gently held Sheng Yunrong's hand, her eyes full of concern: "Miss, if you have any troubles, you can tell me."

Sheng Yunrong smiled and patted Cui'er's hand gently: "Thank you, Cui'er. I will be fine."

In another part of Sheng Mansion, Qin Wenyuan appeared in a dilapidated hut. He lay on the hardwood bed, looking at the dilapidated roof, with endless desolation in his heart.

"Mr. Qin, are you okay?" A woman in coarse clothes walked into the room and asked worriedly.

Qin Wenyuan shook his head gently and smiled: "I'm fine, just a little tired."

The woman sat by the bed and gently wiped the sweat off Qin Wenyuan's forehead: "Mr. Qin, you have done your best. Don't blame yourself too much."

Qin Wenyuan gently held the woman's hand, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you, Ah Qing. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."

Ah Qing smiled and gently patted Qin Wenyuan's hand: "Mr. Qin, you are a good person, you will definitely get better."

She sat in the warm room of Tu Su Mansion, gently waving a rosewood folding fan in her hand, with a hint of imperceptible relief in her eyes.

Sheng Yunrong pushed the door open and walked in, with a trace of fatigue on her face, but her eyes were as bright as stars. She walked straight to Tu Su Yuwei and smiled gently: "Yuwei, you finally believe it."

Tu Su Yuwei smiled slightly, but there was a trace of inquiry in her eyes: "Miss Sheng, is it true that you and Qin Wenyuan are getting divorced?"

Sheng Yunrong sighed softly, sat opposite Tu Su Yuwei, and said slowly: "It's true. Qin Wenyuan...he is not the person I can spend the rest of my life with after all."

As soon as Sheng Yunrong finished speaking, the warm room fell into a brief silence. Tu Su Yuwei's eyes became deep, as if she was thinking about something. She suddenly raised her head and stared at Sheng Yunrong: "So what are you going to do now?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "I plan to start over and live my own life."

"Start over?" Tu Su Yuwei chuckled, "Miss Sheng, do you think this is so easy to say?"

Sheng Yunrong's eyes darkened, but she quickly adjusted herself and said calmly, "I know it's not easy, but I can't give up my life just because of a failed marriage."

At this time, the door of the warm room was gently pushed open, and a figure walked in. It was Qin Wenyuan. He looked a little haggard, but there was a determination in his eyes.

Qin Wenyuan's eyes moved back and forth between Sheng Yunrong and Tu Su Yuwei, and finally landed on Sheng Yunrong: "Yunrong, I...I heard that you got divorced, is that true?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, without a trace of emotion in her eyes: "It's true, Master Qin."

Qin Wenyuan's expression changed slightly. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just sighed softly: "I understand."

Tu Suyuwei looked at Qin Wenyuan, a hint of sympathy flashed in her eyes, but it was soon replaced by determination. She turned to Sheng Yunrong: "Miss Sheng, how do you plan to face the future?"

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with determination: "I will use my own strength to create a new future."

Qin Wenyuan looked at Sheng Yunrong, his eyes revealing a complex emotion. He suddenly said, "Yunrong, you... you really don't hate me?"

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, without a trace of fluctuation in her eyes: "Hate? Sir Qin, do you think I have to hate you?"

Qin Wenyuan was speechless. He looked at Sheng Yunrong with complicated emotions in his eyes.

Everything between him and Sheng Yunrong is completely over.

As night fell, the Sheng Mansion was brightly lit and still prosperous. Sheng Yunrong was wearing a gorgeous silk dress and walking hurriedly under the corridor. Her eyes were cold, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with her.

Sheng Yunrong returned to her yard and pushed the door open, only to see the house in a mess. She frowned slightly, walked to the window, looked at the bright moonlight outside, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and Sheng Yunrong's personal maid Xiaohong walked in and asked carefully: "Miss, are you okay? Don't take what happened just now too seriously."

Sheng Yunrong shook her head gently and said calmly: "It's okay, I'm used to it. Xiaohong, go and ask Qin Wenyuan to come over."

Xiaohong was startled, then responded and left quickly. Not long after, Qin Wenyuan came to Sheng Yunrong's room. He was wearing a green gown, with a handsome face, but a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

Sheng Yunrong turned around, looked at Qin Wenyuan, and said calmly: "Qin Wenyuan, do you know why I asked you to come here?"

Qin Wenyuan smiled slightly and replied, "I think it's because of that matter."

Sheng Yunrong nodded and said, "That's right. We have long since severed our friendship. You don't have to take today's incident to heart."

Qin Wenyuan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Sheng Yunrong, I know I hurt your heart, but I didn't mean to do this. It's just that I had to do this."

Sheng Yunrong sneered and said, "Qin Wenyuan, do you think I will forgive you if you say that? You are wrong. I will never forgive you. But I will not pursue what happened today."

Qin Wenyuan frowned, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Sheng Yunrong looked at him with a hint of impatience in her eyes: "Whatever you want to say, just say it."

Qin Wenyuan took a deep breath and said, "Sheng Yunrong, I know I am sorry for you, but I really can't give up my ideal. I must take this path, even if it means my death."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "Qin Wenyuan, do you really think I will be moved by your words? You are wrong. I have seen through you a long time ago."

Qin Wenyuan closed his eyes in pain. Sheng Yunrong was telling the truth. But he couldn't help but ask, "Sheng Yunrong, can't you really give me another chance?"

Sheng Yunrong shook her head and said, "Qin Wenyuan, what happened between us is a thing of the past. Go away. I don't want to see you again."

A trace of despair flashed across Qin Wenyuan's eyes, but he still forced a smile, nodded, and turned to leave.

Sheng Yunrong looked at Qin Wenyuan's back, with a complex emotion welling up in her heart.

Sheng Yunrong was admiring the flowers in the yard when she suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the door.

Xiao Hong rushed in and said, "Miss, this is bad! Qin Wenyuan... he's been captured!"

Sheng Yunrong was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "Xiaohong, prepare the horse! I'll go save him."

Xiao Hong said anxiously: "Miss, you can't go! Qin Wenyuan...he deserves it."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Xiaohong coldly and said, "Xiaohong, I know you are dissatisfied with what happened between me and Qin Wenyuan, but he is my ex-husband and I have the responsibility to save him."

Xiaohong was speechless and could only respond with tears in her eyes.
