Foolish Play
It was dark the day Fang Huai came to see Cheng Wanting.
The woman was still wrapped tightly, wearing a mask and a hat, with a pair of scarlet eyes under her cheap sunglasses.
She walked out of the door and turned her head away unhappily when she saw that it was Fang Huai. Her large sunglasses covered most of her palm-sized face. She raised her chin in Fang Huai's direction, her mouth curled up in a harsh arc, and her thin lips uttered a cold command: "Throw it away."
"What?"
Fang Huai looked at Cheng Wanting and heard the obvious displeasure in her words: "I don't like flowers."
Fang Huai smiled and put the flowers on the ground. He did not feel any displeasure because of Cheng Wanting's attitude. Cheng Wanting suddenly felt powerless as if her fist was hitting cotton.
Through her sunglasses, she looked up and down at the man in front of her, Li Xuan's lover, with a critical gaze.
Her eyes fell on the familiar logo, and she sneered in an ambiguous tone, "You're not that good-looking either."
As soon as she finished speaking, she lit a cigarette, grabbed Fang Huai's collar, and pressed the lit cigarette butt against the collar of Fang Huai's coat, pulling it open. Cheng Wanting saw the hideous wound below Fang Huai's neck and suddenly grabbed Fang Huai's collar and laughed.
Because of her action, the hot cigarette ash fell into Fang Huai's neck, and the collar of his coat was also burned by the cigarette butt. Seeing that he didn't say a word, Cheng Wanting deliberately shook the cigarette in her hand. After seeing the man's brows tightly frowned, she stepped back with satisfaction.
"Doctor Fang, you have so many secrets?" Cheng Wanting slowly exhaled a smoke ring, looked at Fang Huai with disdain, and said sarcastically: "It's really boring, no wonder you two are a couple..."
At this point, Cheng Wanting's eyes darkened and her voice was heavy and deep, "Ridiculous homosexual."
The choking smoke brought tears to her eyes, and she leaned against the wall, coughing and laughing. After she recovered, she took another long, obsessive drag on the cigarette. The taste was really not good, spicy and bitter.
But fortunately it is cheap. The black smoke made by the old blind man at the end of Heishui Lane is so addictive that I really can’t quit it.
"Why are you doing this?" Fang Huai looked at Cheng Wanting who clearly didn't like the cigarette, but still forced herself to smoke it and like it.
Cheng Wanting stood up straight, leaning against the wall, and said, "I like it."
She stretched out her arms and spun in circles, looking up at the dim sky and laughing: "Who said I don't like it?"
"What's the use of me not liking all this? Li Xuan has ruined everything I have, so why can't I do the same?"
Cheng Wanting tilted her head to look at Fang Huai, took off her sunglasses and pointed at her disfigured face. She grabbed Fang Huai's arm with one hand and looked at him with resentment, "Because my tragedy today is all caused by Li Xuan. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be bullied and disfigured, and I wouldn't have become a rat in Blackwater Alley."
"You are Li Xuan's mistress, of course you speak for him. But why do you treat me like this?" Cheng Wanting's sunglasses fell to the ground, and the low-quality lenses were shattered. She pulled off her mask and hat.
He grabbed Fang Huai like crazy and asked, "It's all because of him, it's all because of him!"
Yao Lili grabbed Fang Huai's clothes and said, "Why? Why are you all doing this to me? What did I do wrong?"
She revealed her bumpy scalp and scarred face. The upper half of her face looked like it had been scratched by a blunt object, with only her pointed chin having no scars. Her originally shiny black hair had all fallen off, and her exposed scalp was terrifying.
She couldn't hold it in any longer, scratching Fang Huai's face with her nails while swearing, "I'm going to die, and you all have to die with me."
"You men are all the same, all the same. Don't worry, when your Li Xuan dies, that guy will die too. I won't let you go."
Cheng Wanting was very emotional. She vented her frustration on Fang Huai, emphasizing over and over again: It was Li Xuan who harmed her, it was all because of Li Xuan.
"Cheng Wanting." Fang Huai grabbed the woman's wrist and looked into her crazy eyes, saying word by word, "This is you, right?"
The video on the phone was high-definition, and it recorded the woman's clothes and appearance with incredible clarity. The woman was standing and wandering at the door of Fang Huai's house. In the flower and bird market, the hospital, and almost all the videos, wherever Fang Huai was, she was there.
"You know the truth and the facts best, so stop deceiving yourself."
Fang Huai said angrily, "What do you want from me? Cheng Wanting, your slander and self-deception will destroy him, do you know that? Your tragedy is not caused by Li Xuan. You clearly had many options, but you chose the most extreme method."
"Why do you hate Li Xuan? Is it simply because he kicked you out of the team? Cheng Wanting, you're willing to use your own reputation to slander Li Xuan. Is it really just because of this incident?"
The darkness in her heart was exposed, and Cheng Wanting loudly retorted: "Stop slandering me, I didn't do that!"
"What can you give me?" She picked up her sunglasses from the ground with a guilty conscience, pinned them to her collar with trembling hands, and quickly ran into the security door. "Get out of here, and don't bother me anymore!"
Fang Huai was really too impulsive this time. Yao Lili had no intention of talking to him properly. He also gave up the idea of solving the problem with Cheng Wanting. He stood outside the security door for a while and turned to leave.
He didn't see the pair of red eyes full of triumph behind the crack in the door.
Fang Huai underestimated Cheng Wanting's ability to lie without blinking. She could actually turn black into white. Everything was planned by Cheng Wanting. Seeing the crazy public opinion on the Internet, Fang Huai felt powerless. He had messed up everything.
The internet was flooded with insults against Fang Huai. Some people even went to the hospital where Fang Huai worked to cause trouble, demanding that Fang Huai be fired.
Under pressure, the hospital issued a statement, announcing an investigation and a satisfactory response to netizens. Meanwhile, Fang Huai received a notice from the hospital suspending his work. He accepted the notice and, watching the video circulating online, felt a surge of powerlessness.
Yao Lili's method is very useful. It pushes everyone to the forefront and puts herself in a weak position forever.
When Cheng Wanting received the news that Fang Huai was suspended for observation, a look of pleasure flashed in her eyes. The comments below her video were all sympathetic, and she smiled sarcastically.
While scrolling through the comment section, I laughed at the stupidity of these people. I was actually fooled by her clumsy tactics.
She was in a very good mood, an extremely good one. After going through so many things, she claimed to understand the rules of the world: if you want to lie, you can't tell all lies. You have to mix truth and lies, true and false, false and true, until you deceive yourself. That is a real lie.
She followed Fang Huai, the gentle and non-aggressive man, and tried to find clues about the USB flash drive from him, but she underestimated Li Xuan's vigilance and she couldn't find any useful clues from Fang Huai.
But when she saw Li Xuan and Fang Huai together, the malice in her heart could not be suppressed and she wanted to scratch the man's face. As long as she could make Li Xuan unhappy, she would be happy.
But every time she wanted to take action, she was interrupted by a strange man and gave up.
He only wanted to take revenge on Li Xuan and make him end up like him. Every video and live broadcast was a mixture of truth and falsehood.
Cheng Wanting was indeed frustrated outside, and Zhao Shengtao was not a good guy either. She rushed out of the private room, ignoring the threats and inducements in the private room, and under the strong effect of the drugs, she met the second young master of Tengfeng Group - Qiu Lingfeng.
That idiot who just wants to eat and wait for death and has lofty ambitions.
Qiu Lingfeng led her out of the dangerous place. Cheng Wanting clutched her coat, thinking Qiu Lingfeng wanted her to sleep with him. But the man simply glanced disdainfully at her shoddy short skirt and turned his face away. Without saying anything, he gave her a card and told her to use it to hire a lawyer, on the condition that she become his lover.
Of course she didn't want to, so she didn't take the card and threw her coat on the ground.
But after being humiliated by Zhao Shengtao's men in a milk tea shop, Cheng Wanting realized that arrogance cannot be used to make a living, and arrogance cannot be exchanged for dignity and legal fees.
Pride and dignity could not make Li Xuan remember her.
She took the initiative to find Qiu Lingfeng and asked him for the card.
She lost the lawsuit and was heartbroken. After taking a last look at her parents, she followed Qiu Lingfeng to his villa and became Qiu Lingfeng's...lover.
Qiu Lingfeng was a fool who only cared about eating, drinking, and having fun. He had many lovers, and he often jumped in front of Cheng Wanting, but she didn't care; she was only in it for the money. Since her goal hadn't been achieved, her relationship with Qiu Lingfeng was no longer necessary. When she wanted to leave, Qiu Lingfeng asked her to help him with one last thing, and then he agreed to let her go, and even gave her a large sum of money to send her abroad.
Cheng Wanting, a self-proclaimed smart person, wanted nothing more to do with this fool. But when she heard the man could send her abroad, she was tempted. So Cheng Wanting returned to the familiar yet unfamiliar laboratory, but just as she was about to succeed, she was caught.
Everyone was forcing her! Even that idiot Qiu Lingfeng was cruel to her and ruined her face.
The school expelled her completely, and after seeing that she failed to steal the data, Qiu Lingfeng also told her to get out.
She thought it couldn't get any worse than this, but on her way home, a group of people grabbed her head from behind and dragged her into Blackwater Alley. Blunt knives cut her face and head open, and red centipedes crawled all over her pretty face. She fainted from the pain.
When she woke up in the morning, the severe pain on her face made her collapse. She sat on the ground in pain, but found that her throat was broken... She really hated it so much. She hated Zhao Shengtao, Qiu Lingfeng, the school, and Li Xuan.
If Li Xuan hadn't reported her case to the school, she wouldn't have fallen into this state. If Li Xuan had been a little softer on him, like she had been in the milk tea shop, and had shown her a little pity, she wouldn't have fallen into this state.
She would go abroad and live there, then she wouldn't have to live with this ugly face in a dark, dirty, and smelly alley, relying on pungent black smoke to numb herself every day.
She originally didn't want to involve Fang Huai again, but since he came to her, there was no reason not to take advantage of him.
Fang Huai asked for it, so she would drag him into hell...
