Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Cancer
Chapter 57
Xiaoman once said to her, "Forget it, that disgusting man. I'm too lazy to even mention his name. Just live the life you want to live. Don't waste your time on that scumbag."
"But you almost died because of him," she said. "He should suffer for it."
Xiao Man looked away and said slowly, "I really hated him before. I wanted him to regret, to suffer, to experience the same torment I went through. But from beginning to end, I was the only one who endured all the excruciating withdrawal symptoms. He remained unmoved, showing no remorse. In the end, my hatred only tormented me. It was ridiculous."
"I'm not forgiving him, I just want to let myself go."
Listening to Xiaoman's calm words, she felt distressed and angry at the same time.
If the person concerned does not want to be trapped in the painful past and chooses to let it go, can the person who did the bad thing be spared from any punishment?
Of course not.
They have to pay a price, no matter what.
She couldn't decide the outcome, but at least she wasn't just standing there watching and doing nothing.
…
The gorgeous lights above my head changed little by little with the lively music.
The time was almost up, Ruan Yan lowered her head, opened her cell phone and made a call.
Twenty minutes later, Jia Yanyuan hurriedly appeared in the bar.
"Xiaoyan, what's going on?" He glanced at Qiao Qianqian, who was hunched over the table. "She...why is she so drunk?"
Ruan Yan said calmly, "I told her about your proposal, and then she drank a lot of wine."
Jia Yanyuan stared at Ruan Yan, hesitant to speak: "This..."
"She was drunk and said a lot of things to me. Do you want to know what she said?" Ruan Yan's tone was unusually calm. Since he appeared, she had been sitting in the same position, not moving at all.
The atmosphere was really weird, and it gave him a bad feeling.
Ruan Yan slowly raised her eyelids and looked at him: "Sister Qianqian said that you two have been secretly dating without telling me. You love her and she loves you too. I am the third person between you."
Jia Yanyuan's expression changed drastically, and he stammered, "Xiaoyan, it's not...she, she's drunk, you can't trust her words..."
"Really?" Ruan Yan continued calmly, "She also said that she was pregnant with your child. When I found out about this, I had a huge argument with you and broke up with you. Then I disappeared in an accident."
Jia Yanyuan couldn't stop sweating all over, and even his legs were shaking uncontrollably.
How could this happen? How could this happen?
He had clearly kept it a secret before, but when he was preparing to propose, such a big mistake occurred at the last moment.
Even the dim light could not hide his pale and ugly complexion.
"This is a misunderstanding, Xiaoyan... She's just talking nonsense... She, the person she was talking about is not me..." Jia Yanyuan was panicking, "If you don't believe me, wait until she sobers up and ask her..."
Ruan Yan stood up from her seat with a sullen face. Jia Yanyuan took a small step back guiltily: "Xiao Yan..."
She said expressionlessly: "Do you think I'm particularly stupid and easy to deceive?"
"No... No, please listen to my explanation..."
"Actually, I've heard those rumors about you and Sister Qianqian many times, but I never wanted to believe them before. But when I heard her admit it tonight, I finally gave up."
"Xiaoyan, things are not what you think. From the beginning to the end, you are the only one I love the most. Really, please believe me!"
There was nothing but indifference in Ruan Yan's eyes. She picked up the handbag on the chair, gave him a resolute back, and left.
As soon as he walked out of the bar, Jia Yanyuan caught up with him from behind.
"Xiaoyan, don't leave yet. Can you listen to my explanation?"
Ruan Yan paused and glanced at him sideways: "I think we need to calm down now."
Jia Yanyuan was anxious: "Xiaoyan, I want to tell you that I really love you..."
"Sister Qianqian is completely drunk now," Ruan Yan stared at him and pulled her hand tightly. "Are you sure you want to leave her alone in a place like a bar?"
While he was hesitating, Ruan Yan directly pulled out her arm, got into the car parked on the side of the road and left without looking back.
Watching his helpless figure getting farther and farther away and gradually shrinking out of sight, Ruan Yan's mouth curled up slightly.
Good, that went better than expected, she thought.
She deliberately chose the timing so accurately that history would repeat itself, and it was also a way to vent Xiaoman's anger at the time.
This can be considered as the last gift she gives them before she gets rid of Jia Yanyuan, this big cancer.

When Qiao Qianqian woke up and opened her eyes, it was already the next morning.
She felt her throat was dry and burning, so she got up from the bed sleepily and went outside to get some water.
The curtains in the living room were not drawn, and the light was dim. She glanced at it inadvertently and almost screamed in fright.
Someone was sitting quietly on the sofa, not moving.
Only when she saw clearly that the person sitting there was Jia Yanyuan did Qiao Qianqian breathe a sigh of relief.
"Why are you sitting here alone?" She turned on the light and walked over to ask, "When did you come? Why didn't you come in to call me?"
Jia Yanyuan didn't reply to her, nor did he even look at her.
Qiao Qianqian felt strange. Her fragmented memories had not yet fully recovered and she was still a little dazed.
I remember she was drinking with... Ruan Yan in a bar last night. Yes, Ruan Yan told her about the proposal, and she was not in a good mood, so she kept drinking. Then...
She tried hard to think for a long time, but she couldn't remember how she got back and why Jia Yanyuan appeared in her house.
"Ayan, Ayan?"
Jia Yanyuan finally reacted, raised his head and stared at her, with obvious red bloodshot in his eyes.
This look... Although there was no expression on his face, Qiao Qianqian guessed that there must be something wrong. She subconsciously wondered if it was related to Ruan Yan.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" She sat down next to him and pressed his arm with concern.
"Don't you know what happened?" Jia Yanyuan's voice was hoarse and cold. Qiao Qianqian was a little puzzled as to why his tone sounded like he was questioning her.
Her first reaction was that perhaps his proposal plan had changed, and he might have had a quarrel with Ruan Yan, but what did their quarrel have to do with her? This time she didn't have time to do anything.
"Please don't talk to me like that, okay?" She said in her usual soft voice, "Your attitude scares me."
Jia Yanyuan stared at her without blinking, his eyes fierce: "Why did you do this?"
Qiao Qianqian's heart skipped a beat when he looked at her. She had a bad feeling: "Ayan, what are you talking about? What did I do?"
Jia Yanyuan suddenly grabbed her arm and shook it hard: "Did you do this on purpose? Tell me, did you do this on purpose?"
Qiao Qianqian was frightened by his crazy behavior: "I don't know what you are talking about! You hurt me, Ayan, let go!"
He was incredibly strong, and Qiao Qianqian couldn't break free. Finally, she got so angry that she yelled, "Jia Yanyuan, what's wrong with you? Let me go!"
"Why did you tell Xiaoyan about us? At such a critical moment, didn't you know that I proposed to her? Why did you do this?!"
Jia Yanyuan's words surprised and confused Qiao Qianqian: "I... when? I didn't..."
Jia Yanyuan's emotions grew increasingly agitated. "Why are you causing trouble for me at this critical moment? You won't be satisfied until you destroy me, right?!"
"Ayan, calm down!" Qiao Qianqian used all her strength to shake off his shackles, "Tell me what's going on!"
"Are you still pretending to be stupid? Were you in the bar with Ruan Yan last night? She already knows everything. You told her everything between us!" Jia Yanyuan's voice was almost roaring.
"What?" Qiao Qianqian finally realized the seriousness of the matter. She tried hard to recall, but she couldn't find any clues from her vague memory.
"Did she tell you that? I was with her last night, but I didn't tell her anything."
Jia Yanyuan sneered, "Then how did she know all those things we were doing in private? She even discovered something as intimate as your pregnancy. Who else could it be if not what you said?"
Qiao Qianqian was shocked again.
"I can't marry her anymore, and she wants to break up with me now. Are you satisfied?"
Qiao Qianqian's thoughts suddenly became confused: "I was drunk last night, I really don't know what happened afterwards..."
"Oh, haven't you always been very cautious? Is it such a coincidence that you get drunk at this time?" Jia Yanyuan sneered.
Qiao Qianqian thought it was ridiculous: "You think I'm pretending to be drunk? Why would I do that?"
"Because you don't want me to marry her, and you're upset that I proposed to her without telling you, so you deliberately sabotaged her!"
Qiao Qianqian was so angry that she almost laughed.
"Isn't it? Didn't you get pregnant on the eve of my engagement with her?" Jia Yanyuan recalled the scene at that time. A similar scene was vivid in his mind. He suddenly thought of something and stared at Qiao Qianqian.
"It was you at that time, right? Otherwise, how could Xiaoyan inexplicably discover that thing? I clearly hid it very well, someone must have told her on purpose! It was you that time too, right? In order to prevent us from getting married, you secretly told her everything, making her quarrel with me like crazy... It was you, it turned out to be you..." Jia Yanyuan looked surprised.
Being caught off guard by his questioning, Qiao Qianqian was momentarily flustered. The guilt she felt after being exposed made her brain freeze for a moment: "No, I didn't. She found it herself. It's none of my business..."
Jia Yanyuan felt very painful and regretful. He held his head in his hands and said, "I only just realized now that I actually..."
Qiao Qianqian couldn't stand his behavior and said excitedly, "I already said it wasn't me! I was drunk last night and I don't know anything!"
"Whether you were truly drunk or pretending to be drunk, there's no point in arguing about it," Jia Yanyuan grabbed her arm again. "Come on, the only way out now is for you to go and explain to Xiaoyan. Tell her you were drunk and talking nonsense last night. The man you had an affair with and got you pregnant wasn't me, but someone else. Go and explain it to her face to face!"
"I won't go!" Qiao Qianqian's face flushed. Jia Yanyuan's words made her feel very humiliated. Asking her to humbly tell Ruan Yan that she was someone else's mistress was more embarrassing than being slapped in public.
"Do you know what has happened to me during this period of time? Do you know?" he shouted loudly, completely losing his usual gentle and elegant demeanor.
Qiao Qianqian said indifferently: "You are hiding everything from me now, how can I know what happened to you?"
"I was so close to success. I was going to marry her soon. But it was you, you who caused all this trouble," Jia Yanyuan pointed at her, his eyes wide with anger. "Because of your greed and selfishness, you've ruined everything for me. Do you understand?"
After being verbally insulted time and time again, Qiao Qianqian couldn't hold it in any longer and yelled at him in anger, "Is it all because of me? Did I force you to come to me every time? Did I force you to sleep with me? You couldn't resist the temptation and cheated on me, you couldn't control your lower body, and now you blame me. What gives you the right to treat me like this?!"
This was the first time she had let go of her disguise and lost her temper at him so hysterically and without any image. The grievances and anger that she had endured for so long burst out at once in this moment.
Looking at the usually gentle Qiao Qianqian, who was now yelling at him with a distorted face, Jia Yanyuan felt unbelievable. He suddenly didn't know what kind of person Qiao Qianqian was.
He was originally attracted to her because of her gentleness, simplicity and understanding, but he gradually discovered that she was not as good-tempered as he thought. She also had a jealous, petty and unreasonable side, and even seemed to be more scheming than he imagined.
He nodded: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I was the one who provoked you. I deserve it! Damn it!"
"Bang!" As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked the coffee table at his feet to vent his anger, and all the water cups and other sundries on the table fell to the ground with a clang.
Without waiting for Qiao Qianqian to react, he left angrily.
All she was left with was the sound of another door closing heavily.
Qiao Qianqian slumped her shoulders, as if all her strength had been drained, and threw herself onto the sofa in dejection.
She didn't understand why things suddenly turned out like this when she just woke up from a nap.
She tried hard to recall what happened in the bar last night, but no matter how hard she tried, the rest of the story was blank.
She didn't remember what she said, and she had no idea when Jia Yanyuan appeared or how she got home.
This feeling, completely beyond her control, was awful.
Damn it, she grabbed her hair and yelled, venting her anger.
At this moment, she felt as if she had been beaten up for no reason, and she didn't know where to start fighting back.
The only thing she knew was that there was a thread between her and Jia Yanyuan that was completely broken.
