Jiang Lusheng wanted to ask if it was Lu Yihan who called her, why she was laughing, and whether she still had feelings for Lu Yihan.
But asking it out loud would be crossing the line, and today's meal wouldn't be able to continue. His emotions were impulsive, but his rationality was still there, pulling him out of the abyss of depression.
He composed himself in an instant and smiled softly: "I just feel that this call is not appropriate. It broke the wonderful atmosphere we just had, and it makes me a little unhappy."
Crazy testing of boundaries and appropriate display of honesty have great results.
Lan Shuang smiled and said, "It's quite inappropriate. Don't worry about it. Today is a good day. We shouldn't worry about insignificant people. Come, eat cake."
She didn't cut from the original cake, but took a plate and gave him half of her cake: "Well... I didn't eat it, you don't mind, right?"
Jiang Lusheng stared at the half piece of cake, his eyes gradually regaining clarity, "Of course I don't mind."
"I can't eat that much by myself. Let's each have half and leave some room for hot pot. That's just right."
"OK."
A few words eased Jiang Lusheng's unhappiness, and the two of them happily started eating again.
…
After the call was hung up, the unimportant person took a deep puff of his cigarette and slowly exhaled. The smoke drifted away, covering his face and adding a sickly haggard look to him.
He stood silently against the wall for a long time, lost in a confused state of thought.
What should he do now?
His mother is still in the hospital. Her illness is very serious and the high cost of surgery is not enough for him to afford with his salary.
The Lu family was disappointed in him again. Although the head of the Lu family had not yet said that he would not care, if he really broke up with Lan Shuang completely, he would probably kick him out.
And Su Le...
Su Le himself is a child from an ordinary family. His school expenses are very tight and he can't help at all.
Lu Yihan was more irritable than ever before.
He finished his cigarette, extinguished it and threw it into the trash can, then washed his hands and face. If all else failed, he would have to sell the things Lan Shuang had given him as a last resort.
With a heavy heart, Lu Yihan returned to his seat, but the people around him looked at him differently.
He could only pretend nothing happened and stare at his computer.
…
After leaving the company, Su Le took a taxi directly back to school. The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he felt. He cried all the way and when he got off the car, his eyes were swollen like walnuts. The driver was scared and took the money and left quickly, with the exhaust gas spraying Su Le's face.
Su Le: “…”
She turned her head and cried out "Wow", then cried even louder.
Tang Yiyi, who had received the news and came to pick her up, was shocked when he saw her. "Le Le, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
Su Le hugged her and cried, "Yi Yi, wuwuwu, Lu Yihan bullied me, I don't want to care about him anymore!"
When Tang Yiyi thought of Lu Yihan, she remembered how she had to pay Lan Shuang for her wedding dress. She felt a pang of pain and her face instantly turned pale.
"What did he do to you?"
Tang Yiyi asked in a bad tone, "You two finally got together, but he doesn't know how to cherish it? What's going on? Is he regretting it?"
After what happened at the wedding, she felt resentful towards Lu Yihan and was unwilling to speak for him anymore.
"Let's go in and talk first."
Su Le still had some rationality. Seeing that everyone coming and going at the school gate was looking at her, she pulled Tang Yiyi's sleeve and took her into the school.
Tang Yiyi nodded: "Okay."
…
Sitting on a bench at school, Su Le wiped his face and told Tang Yiyi everything that happened that afternoon. At the end, he complained quietly, "I suspect he regrets it. It's obvious that Lan Shuang has ulterior motives. With such a large family business, she could go anywhere else. Why did she have to intern at Lu Yihan's company?"
Hearing this, Tang Yiyi angrily said, "That's right! She clearly did it on purpose! She appears to have let go, but she's actually playing hard to get, right?"
In a sense, the two of them really guessed right, but their ultimate goals were somewhat different. They thought that Lan Shuang couldn't forget her old love and wanted to reconcile. In fact, Lan Shuang just wanted to make Lu Yihan regret it, fall in love with her, and then dump him, to get revenge and vent her anger on the original owner.
Su Le took a sip of water, sighed, and said, "Yi Yi, I'm a little tired. What do you think Lu Yihan and I are trying to achieve by being together? Even if no one says it to our faces, everyone behind our backs says I'm the third party. It's obvious that Lu Yihan doesn't love Lan Shuang, but it's Lan Shuang who keeps holding on to him. How can I be the third party?"
Tang Yiyi sneered: "That means Lu Yihan is not a good person either. If he really wanted to, he would have broken up with Lan Shuang long ago. Why would he let you bear all this?"
Su Le was silent. This was also an important reason why she and Lu Yihan had been breaking up and getting back together before.
Lu Yihan said that he was with Lan Shuang because of family pressure, but he himself had no feelings for Lan Shuang. He asked her to be patient and wait until his mother's illness was cured, then he would break free from the control of the Lu and Lan families.
But after waiting for a long time, what she got was the news that Lu Yihan and Lan Shuang were engaged. She didn't go that day, but she saw the photos from Tang Yiyi.
Lan Shuang's wedding dress was so beautiful, and the diamond crown made her look like an innocent princess. The flowers, wine and luxurious decorations in the hotel were things she had never seen before.
It would be a lie to say that I don’t envy you, and it would be even more of a lie to say that I don’t hate you.
Lan Shuang finally broke off the engagement, and Lu Yihan returned to her, but she felt as if there was a thorn stuck in her heart that she couldn't pull out.
There was nothing between them, and their relationship should have become stronger, but...
Su Le looked at the setting sun in the distance, wondering blankly, why does it feel worse than before?
Tang Yiyi looked at her expression and advised her earnestly: "Lele, you can't be so depressed. Do you love Lu Yihan?"
Su Le said without hesitation: "Of course, otherwise why would I be with him?"
It seemed that her tone was not very good because her sincerity was questioned.
Tang Yiyi was stunned by what she said, feeling uncomfortable: "Then you have to hold on to him even tighter! He just broke up with Lan Shuang, and no matter what the reason is, he must feel guilty. If you don't behave well at this time, it will be easy for Lan Shuang to take advantage of you and take advantage of you."
Su Le was stunned and frowned: "Really?"
"Of course! Men are like that. They're always restless when they can't get what they want, but they don't know how to cherish it when they get it. You mustn't argue with him at this time. It will only push him further away. Besides, you were indeed in the wrong in today's matter."
Su Le: "I..."
"Think about it carefully and decide what to do next. I have something else to do later, so I'll leave first."
Tang Yiyi glanced at his watch and stood up to leave. Before leaving, he reminded her, "Remember not to lose your temper easily! You've endured it all these years, don't get stuck at the last level!"
