But, if he was so cruel to Huo Hui and that child, why would he let Zhao Xian go?
Is it really because of me?
Puzzled, I asked tentatively, "I heard Zhao Xian has been released on bail. Why did you decide to let her go?"
Yan Meng's eyes darkened. He didn't answer me directly. Instead, he turned his head and looked me straight in the eyes. He asked softly, "What do you think? Do you want me to continue pursuing Zhao Xian?"
He stared at me intently, as if trying to see through my thoughts through my eyes.
I was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
Yan Meng chuckled and explained calmly, "Zhao Xian has done many things to hurt you in the past. I wish I could cut her into pieces to avenge you. But after all, she is Lu Zhiyuan's mother. You have such deep feelings for Lu Zhiyuan that you would not want to see his family destroyed."
He turned his head, his indifferent eyes tinged with sadness.
"I don't want you to hate me because of him, so I let Zhao Xian go."
My chest tightened, not because I was moved by what Yan Meng did.
It was because when I heard him mention Lu Zhiyuan, images related to him began to flash uncontrollably in my mind.
I put my hands over my chest, my brows furrowed in pain. The dull pain in my heart became more and more intense, making it difficult for me to breathe.
In a trance, I thought of the child who was aborted and Lu Zhiyuan’s new girlfriend whom I had just met. Hatred once again swept through my subconscious.
Why? Why does he keep hurting me?
Seeing me like this, Yan Meng supported me worriedly: "Are you sick again?"
I didn't answer him. I endured the pain, gritted my teeth, and squeezed out a few words: "I no longer have any feelings for Lu Zhiyuan. What happened to him and his family has nothing to do with me."
In a trance, I saw Yan Meng's tightly furrowed brows relax, and there seemed to be a hint of ease in his eyes.
I was in so much pain that I started to lose consciousness, so Yan Meng simply picked me up and carried me back to the room.
After seeing me take the medicine and my condition gradually improving, Yan Meng finally felt relieved.
I thanked him, but I felt it was inappropriate for him to stay here.
"I'm fine now, you can go back."
A single man and a single woman in the same room are bound to be misunderstood. I don't want the Ming family elders to match people up again.
My cold urging made Yan Meng's expression stunned for a moment. A trace of loss flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.
He turned to leave, but something suddenly occurred to him.
"I almost forgot to tell you." A smile spread across Yan Meng's face. "Che Xiaofeng's flight will arrive in Beijing on Monday afternoon. Do you want to go to the airport with me to pick him up?"
When I was in Europe, I promised to sponsor Che Xiaofeng's schooling.
Let Che Xiaofeng's father come to Beijing to see me at any time, I will arrange everything for him.
However, Yan Meng had already secretly arranged everything for me, and I was just waiting for Che Xiaofeng to come.
It was my promise, so I naturally had to fulfill it, even if Yan Meng got there first.
I nodded and agreed: "Of course, I'll go with you."
The weekend passed quickly and it was Monday morning in the blink of an eye.
New commercial projects for Betula are already underway.
At the regular morning meeting, everyone had different ideas about the reform and construction within the community.
Gu Rui stood up and suggested, "I think we can continue to use Xiguang Technology's intelligent system. Our last building was sold out very quickly, which shows that this intelligent system is indeed attractive."
