Chapter 25: Quickly Wearing and Falling in Love with the Dark CEO (Part 7)
He was silent, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. After a long while, he slowly said, "It's not you. I believe you."
His tone was firm and his eyes were sincere. At that moment, I was shaken and my heart slowly melted.
"Zi'ang, give me a chance to make up for my previous mistakes, okay?" He carefully took my hand, his eyes full of expectation.
I nodded for some unknown reason. Maybe I could trust him again.
However, all of this was seen by a pair of resentful eyes. Lin Yuwei hid in the dark, watching me and Lin Yehan reconcile, and her exquisite makeup could not hide her jealousy and hatred.
"Feng Ziang, on what right do you snatch things that belong to me from me again and again!" She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deeply into the flesh, and swore secretly in her heart: I will not let you have an easy time!
Soon, the opportunity came. The company was going to hold a charity dinner, and Lin Yehan invited me to attend. I gladly agreed and dressed up carefully, wanting to give him a surprise.
At the dinner, I was chatting with a few ladies when Lin Yuwei came over with two glasses of champagne. She handed one to me and kept one for herself, with an ambiguous smile on her face.
"Brother Ziang, I made this drink especially for you. I wish you and your brother happiness."
I took the wine glass and thanked her with a smile: "Yuwei, thank you, I hope you can find your own happiness soon."
She smiled, didn't say anything, just looked at me meaningfully, then turned and left. I took a sip of the wine and felt that it tasted a bit strange, but I didn't think much about it, just thought it was a new drink.
Halfway through the dinner, I suddenly felt a little dizzy, so I got up and wanted to go to the bathroom to rest. When I passed a private room, I vaguely heard Lin Yehan's voice coming from inside, so I stopped curiously.
"Zi'ang, what do you want?" Lin Yehan's voice sounded a little tired.
"What do I want? I just want you to see clearly who is the most suitable person for you!" Lin Yuwei's voice was sharp and piercing.
"Feng Ziang, he is just a man of humble origins, he is not worthy of you at all!"
"Enough!" Lin Yehan shouted, "Don't meddle in my affairs!"
"Why? Are you heartbroken?" Lin Yuwei sneered, "You even gave up our company for him. How can you expect him to face those employees whose families were destroyed by him?"
When I heard this, I felt a buzzing in my head and my vision went dark. What company? What family was broken up? Could it be... Could it be that Lin Yehan approached me for another purpose?
I couldn't bear it any longer, so I pushed open the door of the private room and rushed in.
"Zi'ang, why are you here?" Lin Yehan's face changed drastically when he saw me.
I pointed at Lin Yuwei and asked with a trembling voice: "Is what she said true? You approached me, is it really because of..."
"No, listen to my explanation!" Lin Yehan wanted to hold me back, but I pushed him away.
"Explain? What else is there to explain?" I burst into tears. "Why did you lie to me? Why did you do this to me?"
I covered my face, turned around and ran out of the box. Lin Yehan wanted to chase me out, but was stopped by Lin Yuwei.
"Brother, don't you understand? Feng Ziang doesn't love you at all. He only loves your money and status!" Lin Yuwei cried, "You won't be happy with him!"
Lin Yehan looked at the direction I left, his eyes full of pain and struggle. I stumbled out of the hotel, letting the cold wind blow on my cheeks, unable to blow away the pain and confusion in my heart. Lin Yehan's words and Lin Yuwei's accusations were like sharp blades, tearing my already fragile love into pieces.
I thought that the love between us was pure and had nothing to do with status, but now it seems that it was all just my wishful thinking. He approached me for other purposes, or just to use me.
Thinking of this, my heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the pain was so severe that I could hardly breathe. I squatted down, buried my head in my knees, and let the tears flow freely.
I don’t know how long it was before a pair of warm hands gently stroked my hair. I raised my head and saw Lin Yehan standing in front of me, his eyes filled with worry and heartache.
"Zi'ang, listen to me, things are not what you think, believe me." He tried to explain, but I couldn't hear anything he said.
"Enough!" I stood up suddenly and pushed him away, "Lin Yehan, let's break up!"
"What did you say?" Lin Yehan's face turned pale in an instant, and he looked at me in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that these words came out of my mouth.
"I say, let's break up!" I suppressed the pain in my heart and said word by word, "From now on, we will go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other anymore."
After saying that, I turned around and left without looking back, leaving Lin Yehan standing there alone, looking weak, as if he had lost all his strength in an instant.
I vaguely heard him calling my name from behind me, his voice was filled with sadness and despair, but I did not turn around. I was afraid that if I turned around, I would lose my temper.
I told myself, Feng Ziang, you can't be weak anymore, you have to be hard-hearted and leave this man, otherwise you will only be hurt more deeply.
This relationship was a mistake from the beginning, and now it's time to end it.
Lin Yehan didn't chase me in the end. I know he wanted to give me some time to calm down, but I don't know if this relationship can still be saved.
When I got home, I locked myself in my room, not eating or drinking, and kept replaying every detail of my time with Lin Yehan in my mind. The way he looked at me, everything he did for me, was it really just a show? My heart felt like it was being torn apart, and tears blurred my eyes.
At this moment, the phone screen lit up. It was a message from Shen Yichen: "Zi'ang, have you calmed down? I think it's time to tell you something..."
Shen Yichen's words gave me a glimmer of hope, and I called him back immediately. After the call was connected, Shen Yichen's voice was a little tired. He told me that Lin Yehan approached me for another purpose, but it was not to use me, but to protect me.
It turned out that my father was framed, which led to the bankruptcy of the company, and the mastermind behind the scenes, relatives said it was Lin Yehan's father! After Lin Yehan learned the truth, his heart was filled with guilt and self-blame. He vowed to find the real culprit who framed my father and clear my father's name.
In order to find out the truth, Lin Yehan concealed his identity and approached me, wanting to find clues from me. He originally thought that as long as he found out the truth, he would leave, but he didn't expect that in the process of getting along with me, he gradually fell in love with me.
Shen Yichen's words shocked me. It turned out that I had always misunderstood Lin Yehan! Everything he did was for me, but I said such hurtful words and pushed him away because of a momentary impulse. But my father was killed by his father, and the company went bankrupt and owed hundreds of millions of dollars. How could I be worthy of my family if I stayed with the son of my enemy? I was in pain and struggled in my heart, but people have to look forward. It would be difficult for me to find a better partner than Lin Yehan. My younger brother still has to study, get married, buy a car and a house. The family owes so much money that we can't rely on him to work in the future.
I immediately realized that I had to find Lin Yehan, explain everything to him, and save this relationship. However, when I rushed to his residence, I found that he had moved out, leaving only a letter.
In the letter, Lin Yehan told me that he had found the real murderer who framed my father, and he was about to leave to complete the last thing. He also said that he loved me, but he didn't want to hurt me anymore, and hoped that I could forget him and start a new life.
After reading the letter, my tears burst out again. I frantically called Lin Yehan's phone, but the call could not be connected. I fell to the ground, my heart filled with despair and helplessness.
No, I can't just give up like this! I must find him and tell him that I love him and I am willing to face everything with him!
