Chapter 707 Gong Lian Falls in Love with Sang Ruo
They keep saying he's arbitrary, but does that mean what my cousin said isn't arbitrary at all?
One shouldn't be too hypocritical.
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan frowned, seemingly unable to bear it any longer: "Xu Chen, watch your words! What do you mean by 'white lotus'? Is that a term you should use to describe your cousin's wife?!"
The fact that he was willing to listen to his rambling analysis was already a great favor, yet he still went on to slander Xiaoruo.
Is this something Xu Chen should say?
Ungrateful.
“Why shouldn’t I?” Xu Chen not only ignored his warning, but also went too far: “Cousin, you’ve been deceived by your wife too much. She’s not as simple as she seems. Take my advice and break up with her.”
separate?
Upon noticing this word, Bo Jinyan couldn't help but sneer: "So this is what you were after today. You see that Wen Qingyi's love life isn't going well, so you want me and your cousin's wife's relationship to go badly too?"
"Am I her appendage? Why should I suffer because of her misfortune?"
That's really funny.
He and Wen Qingyi never actually started dating, yet everyone automatically paired them up.
Even though he was already married, he never lacked opportunities to play matchmaker for Wen Qingyi.
"Cousin, I'm doing this for your own good, can't you see?" Xu Chen was genuinely indignant on his behalf: "Your sister-in-law is so tactless, she'll hurt you sooner or later!"
Enraged, Bo Jinyan abruptly ended the call and threw his phone aside.
Who is this person?
He listened to Wen Qingyi's slander and even tried to drag him down with him. It wasn't enough that he was being stupid; he wanted to make him be stupid too.
Just as he was about to process the documents again, he heard the sound of a black Porsche engine coming from downstairs.
Bo Jinyan knew immediately that Sang Ruo had returned.
The man went straight downstairs and bumped into Sang Ruo, who was carrying her car keys as she entered the house.
Sang Ruo looked up and saw him standing at the top of the stairs: "Ayan? Weren't you always in the study?"
"Xiao Ruo, where did you go just now?" Bo Jinyan asked casually.
Sang Ruo didn't hide anything: "I went to see Gong Lian and watched a good show along the way."
A good show?
"What kind of good show?" Bo Jinyan seemed to have a vague idea of what was going on: "It's not about Wen Qingyi and Gong Lian, is it?"
Could it be that Wen Qingyi's annulment of her engagement with Gong Lian was really related to Xiao Ruo?
Although it wasn't his business, he still wanted to find out.
Now it was Sang Ruo's turn to be surprised: "How did you know?"
“The matter of Wen Qingyi breaking off the engagement has already reached the Wen family elders.” Bo Jinyan reminded her calmly, “After receiving the news, the Wen family elders specially flew back to China from Canada. The phone call I just received was from Xu Chen.”
"Xiao Ruo, why did you get involved in their relationship? Don't you know you'll only get yourself into trouble?"
Especially since she was connected to his mortal enemy, and Gong Lian had also fallen in love with Xiao Ruo...
Why did Xiaoru do this?
She knew perfectly well that Gong Lian had ulterior motives, yet she still managed to make him fall in love with her.
Sang Ruo's original intention was not like that: "Of course I know all this, but you also saw how Gong Lian pursued me before. I refused all the meetings I could refuse, but you also know that he helped me a lot during the days you were blind and hospitalized."
"Sometimes I can't refuse, because if I do, I'll be seen as an ungrateful person!"
She didn't want to become the kind of person she despised the most.
So sometimes she really can't refuse.
"So? Is this your reason for making Gong Lian fall in love with you?" This was what bothered Bo Jinyan the most: "Xiao Ruo, you knew he had ulterior motives, so why did you still get so close to him? Why did you continue to meet with him?"
If she didn't give Gong Lian a chance, how could Gong Lian fall in love with her?
Although there were many reasons why Gong Lian gave up on Wen Qingyi, she did bear some responsibility for Gong Lian falling in love with her!
Putting aside everything else, Xu Chen was absolutely right about that.
Sang Ruo was almost speechless: "Ayan, I didn't expect you to see me like this, but there really is nothing between me and Gong Lian. How would I know when he fell in love with me! Why are you blaming me for him falling in love with me?"
Is this fair to her?
Ayan wasn't unaware of how Gong Lian had pursued her, but he still wanted to believe that Gong Lian's love for her was due to her own reasons.
She's truly pathetic that even her own husband doesn't believe her.
"Xiao Ruo, I'm not blaming you, I'm trying to prevent you from getting hurt." Bo Jinyan's concern outweighed his blame: "If Gong Lian can break off his engagement with Wen Qingyi today to hurt you, then he'll hurt you for someone else in the future!"
"These kinds of things, once they happen, they'll happen again. Can't you see what I'm up to?"
If she gets caught up in the love triangle between Gong Lian and Wen Qingyi, she'll never be able to escape!
Unless one of the three of them quits, there will never be an end to this!
Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo believed that he meant well, but said, "I see through your intentions, but you're arguing with me about this because you're standing up for Wen Qingyi? Is that why you're so agitated? Is that why you blame me so much? Right?"
She knew Ayan's personality best.
He always maintained an indifferent attitude towards things that didn't concern him, but everything seemed to change when he was with Wen Qingyi.
She knew, of course, that he wouldn't have anything going on with Wen Qingyi, but she couldn't stand him speaking up for Wen Qingyi like that.
It's as if she's the real outsider.
“No.” Bo Jinyan immediately denied it. “Xiao Ruo, I’m not speaking up for Wen Qingyi, I’m speaking up for you! Do you know what Xu Chen said about you on the phone? He said you’re not a simple woman, that you’re a white lotus!”
"You know I absolutely won't allow anyone to talk about you like that, not even my own cousin!"
That's why he was unmoved when he learned that Wen Qingyi's engagement with Gong Lian had been broken off, because he knew that none of this concerned him.
But when he learned that Gong Lian had fallen in love with Sang Ruo, he really couldn't bear it.
He had always thought that Gong Lian was just putting on an act in front of Wen Qingyi, deliberately putting on a show for her. But Xu Chen was now telling him that it was all real! It wasn't just acting!
Instead, his feelings for Xiao Ruo had become real; he had fallen completely in love with her.
How would he, as Sang Ruo's husband, think about this?
"Xu Chen told you?" Sang Ruo's voice was calm. "You believed him just because he said that? You don't even trust me?"
