Chapter 290 Love, It's What You Don't Want
Fu Shenyuan felt as if his mind and spirit were being shattered, as if countless cold winds were pouring into his chest.
"What, what did you say?!" Fu Shenyuan said in disbelief.
Wen Qingrang snorted and said, "What, are you surprised?"
"Impossible, Burning Star wouldn't tell you those things, you're lying to me," Fu Shenyuan said firmly.
"Fu Shenyuan, what makes you think there are things in this world that only you and Ranxing know? Don't you think other people know?"
Looking at the man in front of her, Wen Qing felt that he was shameless to an extreme degree.
"You think you're being magnanimous by threatening Ranxing to compromise with those conditions? Do you think Ranxing is staying by your side because she's fallen in love with you? Fu Shenyuan, you're utterly ridiculous."
Wen Qingrang recalled his previous private meeting with Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan offered him a cup of tea, and Wen Qingrang immediately bowed and returned the toast.
"President Jiang, what are you doing?" Wen Qingrang asked.
Jiang Yan sighed softly: "No need to be so polite. I already know about you and my sister. You're also younger than me. If you don't mind, you can call me 'brother' like my sister does."
Wen Qingrang nodded and said, "Brother Jiang Yan, did you want to talk to me about Burning Star?"
“That’s right, Xiaoxing is my sister. I only found out about this myself. She has suffered a lot in the past, and I believe you know that too. I’m looking for you because I want to find someone who can bring happiness to my sister.”
Jiang Yan looked at him and said, "I believe that person is you, not Fu Shenyuan."
Wen Qingrang's eyes were somewhat forlorn: "Thank you for trusting me, but it seems that Ranxing doesn't want to be with me anymore."
After he finished speaking, Jiang Yan took out his phone, found a photo, and showed it to him.
"Did you give me this ring?"
In that photo, under the moonlight, Jiang Ranxing sat on the balcony, holding a ring in her hand, looking lost in thought. From the still image, she seemed to be feeling a sense of loss.
Wen Qing nodded: "It was a gift from me to her."
“That’s it. She often looks at this ring by herself at night when no one is around. I originally thought it was a gift from Fu Shenyuan. I was worried that she was still missing the man who treated her so badly. When the servants were cleaning her room, they accidentally found the letters engraved on the ring. It shouldn’t be something Fu Shenyuan would engrave, so I thought of you.”
Jiang Yan said, "I don't know what kind of feelings my sister has for you, but through this ring, I believe she has you in her heart. Even if it's not love, it's still a kind of cherishing. So I talked to her about the relationships between you guys."
Wen Qingrang listened intently to these words, his expression more serious than ever before, as if Jiang Yan's next words would judge his future.
"If it's you, then I'm relieved. There's something I shouldn't have told anyone, but I really don't want to see any misunderstandings between you that could waste your lives."
As Wen Qingrang listened to Jiang Yan explain why Jiang Ranxing insisted on returning to Fu Shenyuan's side, her expression changed from solemn to enlightened, before she became preoccupied again.
"Xiaoxing is a good person, but she can be a fool in some things, like when it comes to matters of the heart. Even knowing that doing so will hurt herself, she still wants to protect the person she wants to protect. I don't even know how to describe her."
Wen Qingrang also said, "Yes, she's always like this. I know she must have her reasons, but I never expected that she would do this just because of me."
Jiang Yan comforted him: "You don't need to blame yourself. There's no right or wrong between the two of you, no debts or grievances. You're different from Fu Shenyuan. You've sacrificed so much for my sister, and you deserve it."
With the approval of his own brother, Wen Qingrang understood that there would be no obstacles between him and Jiang Ranxing due to family ties.
"Let's find a suitable time to talk things out with Xiaoxing. If you need help, my Jiang family is willing to help the Wen family. Even if we can't completely prevent Fu Hongkai from swallowing us up, our two families can still preserve our foundation if we join forces. As long as you two can be happy, I believe that any elder would be willing."
Jiang Yan's words were a way of telling him that she agreed to them being together.
Wen Qingrang was overwhelmed with gratitude and could only sincerely promise to stay with her for life.
Jiang Yan smiled: "Okay, as long as you can treat Xiaoxing well for the rest of your life and make her happy, I, as your older brother, am willing to shoulder anything for you. Go ahead."
Awakening from her reverie, Wen Qingrang looked at Fu Shenyuan, who stood before her with a bewildered and helpless expression.
He said, "I will not let Ranxing suffer by your side any longer. You do not deserve even a drop of her love."
After saying that, Wen Qingrang turned around and looked at Jiang Ranxing behind him, who hadn't fully reacted yet.
"Burning Star, would you like to come with me?"
Wen Qingrang's words were sincere and moving; almost no one could refuse such an invitation.
Jiang Ranxing nodded.
"No! Ranxing, you can't go with him!" Fu Shenyuan tried his best to stop her, but he didn't know how to persuade her to stay. "You can't leave, you're my wife! You can't go!"
Fu Shenyuan stepped forward to grab Jiang Ranxing's arm as she was about to leave, but Wen Qingrang pushed him away with a palm.
"Fu Shenyuan! Can't you act like a man? You were the one who drove Ranxing to that point, forcing her to leave. How dare you ask her to come back now? What gives you the right? Who do you think you are? Do you think everyone has to revolve around you?!"
Wen Qingrang seemed to have never been so angry before.
However, he couldn't help but feel angry at the person who had caused Jiang Ranxing both physical and mental trauma.
"If you really care about her, you should let her go! Can you really bear to see her unhappy every day by your side? Or are you just saying you care about her and love her to satisfy your own selfish desires?"
Wen Qingrang's questioning threw Fu Shenyuan into a state of confusion, while Jiang Ranxing's step back was even more painful to see.
"Why are you avoiding me, Ranxing? Does my presence really make you so uncomfortable?"
Jiang Ranxing didn't speak, but just nodded, her eyes filled with a chilling coldness that was unsettling.
Fu Shenyuan's outstretched hand hung there in the air, as if he couldn't grasp anything.
"Am I really so unforgivable? Was there never a moment when we made you happy? I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance. Don't leave me, okay?"
Fu Shenyuan was still making a final effort, but all of it seemed to be in vain.
Jiang Ranxing stared at him with a cold and indifferent gaze, seemingly devoid of any warmth.
"I gave you love before, but you didn't want it."
Every word is piercing to the heart, every sentence is filled with tears of blood.
Her words were like a deadly arrow, piercing his left chest in an instant.
