"God is truly blind."
When Wenrou said this, she had a wry smile on her face, and her eyes were glistening with tears.
Duan Sisi patted her shoulder comfortingly, "Alright, don't be sad. Xiaorui has already pulled through, hasn't she? Her future will definitely be happier and happier!"
Wenrou shook her head frantically, "I thought so too, but it's not like that at all, Xiaorui, she..."
She suddenly became agitated, "I really don't understand, what's so good about He Yao? He's not good-looking, he has no career, and he has to rely on women to support him. He's a complete scumbag. How come Xiao Rui is so infatuated with him!"
Seeing that Wenrou was having trouble calming down, Su Yan stopped and pulled her aside to sit down and rest.
Wenrou couldn't hold back her tears, which streamed down her face. It was as if she had finally found someone to confide in, and she choked out the burden she had been carrying for so long.
"Do you know what happened? When Xiao Rui was brought to the hospital, her condition was critical. She had lost all will to live, and the doctors had to pull her back from the brink of death. She spent a whole day and night in the intensive care unit."
"For a whole day and night, Xiaorui's father and mother didn't even close their eyes, just kept watch outside. They had never believed in ghosts or gods, but they asked for everything they could, and were even willing to sacrifice their own lives to save her."
Wenrou sobbed uncontrollably, "But Xiaorui is awake? All she talks about, all she thinks about, is He Yao. What kind of spell did He Yao cast on her?!"
Her indignant voice drew the attention of many people around her.
Duan Sisi felt helpless in the face of this, and turned to Su Yan for help.
Su Yan took a breath and gently patted Wenrou's back to help her calm down.
“I understand your feelings, but I still want to say that you can’t blame Xiaorui. When someone sets a trap step by step in a planned way, anyone, even you, would fall into it if you weren’t on guard. What you need to do now is not to complain, but to understand and try to help her get out of this situation.”
Wenrou looked at her with a vague understanding, still unable to fully grasp the meaning behind her words.
Seeing the bewildered look in her eyes, Su Yan felt utterly powerless.
Even if you've heard of PUA, you can't truly empathize with the victims.
After Wenrou calmed down, the three of them quickly went to the garden.
From a distance, Su Yan could see a slender figure sitting on a bench in the garden.
Not far from this figure, there was a middle-aged man with a weathered face.
That must be Yin Xiaorui's father.
That deep, loving look could only be seen in one's own father's eyes.
Su Yan slowly approached the dazed Yin Xiaorui and sat down beside her.
Hearing the noise, Yin Xiaorui quickly turned around, and the light of hope in her eyes dimmed the moment she saw Su Yan.
Su Yan keenly noticed this change and asked, "Who are you waiting for?"
Yin Xiaorui paused for a moment, her eyes clearly showing a hint of wariness.
"Who are you?"
Su Yan pointed to Wenrou not far away, "I'm Wenrou's friend. I came over to deliver some things to her and stopped by to see you on the way."
Yin Xiaorui glanced quickly at Wenrou, then immediately looked away.
She gave a blank "Oh," and resumed her previous expressionless, waiting-for-her-husband-like demeanor.
Seeing that she was unwilling to talk to her, Su Yan took the initiative to bring up a topic.
Are you waiting for your boyfriend?
Yin Xiaorui was taken aback, then asked warily, "How did you know?"
Su Yan looked at her overly nervous expression and smiled.
"Don't be nervous. I just think you're so pretty that I must have a lot of boys pursuing you and you must have no shortage of boyfriends."
Yin Xiaorui felt a little embarrassed by the sudden praise and touched her face, which had become so thin and sunken.
"You're prettier."
Su Yan put on a gentle and harmless smile and used this topic to continue exploring the subject.
"What kind of person is your boyfriend? I'm very curious, what did he do to win your heart?"
Yin Xiaorui's gaze unconsciously drifted into the distance, as if she were lost in memories.
"He is an exceptionally good person. Gentle, kind, and gentlemanly, I have never met such a wonderful person. When we first met, he was incredibly kind to me, like he could read my mind and always knew what I was thinking. I feel like he is probably the one destined for me!"
Su Yan looked at the happy smile on her face and felt a chill run down her spine.
"They were so good to you at the beginning, did they stop treating you badly later?"
Su Yan quickly spotted the flaw in the conversation.
Yin Xiaorui was completely stunned when she heard this question.
Her eyes darted away quickly, as if she were ashamed to be seen, and she kept her head down, remaining silent.
Just when Su Yan thought she wouldn't answer, she suddenly let out a muffled sound.
"It's not that he treated me badly, it's that I'm not good enough for him."
When Su Yan heard her say this, her voice was nasal. Looking down, she saw that Su Yan's eyes were indeed red.
"You're so cute and pretty. I heard from Wenrou that you're good at your studies and hardworking. Everyone who's met you says you have a great personality. How could you not be good?"
Su Yan's gentle words did not seem to comfort her.
Yin Xiaorui shook her head vigorously, "No, I'm not good. I can't even do the most basic thing a girl should do: keep herself pure. How can I be good? A girl as unclean as me doesn't deserve to live in this world."
Su Yan was stunned to hear such extreme words from her.
With tears in her eyes, Yin Xiaorui looked up at her and said, "A girl as perfect as you must be very pure, right?"
Somehow, those words struck a chord deep within Su Yan's heart.
The fresh air around her seemed to have been suddenly sucked out, leaving Su Yan breathless.
Those words were like a boulder as heavy as a mountain, pressing down on her chest, the oppressive feeling mixed with sharp pain eroding her nerves.
Duan Sisi, who was not far away, keenly noticed that something was wrong with Su Yan and ran over in a panic.
"Honey? Honey, what's wrong?"
Yin Xiaorui was also startled by this sudden change, and she looked in a panic at Wenrou who had followed her.
"Rou Rou, your friend is so curious. I just asked her a casual question, and she turned out like this."
Wenrou looked at Su Yan's pale face and felt a little scared.
To prevent things from getting worse, she first followed Xiaorui's father and took Xiaorui back to her ward.
