Seeing the harmonious scene of the three people in front of him, Han Jun stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
One blind man wasn't enough; unbeknownst to him, Tang Ning had also attracted the attention of this man with impure motives.
He wasn't blind; he could see into the black-haired boy's eyes!
You asked him how he figured it out. He and Tang Ning had spent a full ten years together—not ten months, not ten days, but ten years. In the early years, because Tang Ning and he gradually built Ningzhen into a powerful force, many suitors came to pursue them. Although most of them had ulterior motives, there were also some who were sincere.
Despite Tang Ning's unwavering refusal to accept anyone, he still managed to witness it a few times.
The way this young man looked at Tang Ning was exactly the same as how those men looked at her, no, it was even more... profound.
His voice drew the attention of the three people who had just gotten out of the car. Compared to the three people in front of him who were dressed up, Han Jun, who was wearing the old pajamas that Tang Ning had bought for him and slippers, had never felt so embarrassed and ashamed as he did at this moment.
He felt like a well-prepared clown, secretly moving next door to Tang Ning's house, and pretending to run into her while taking out the trash after seeing her car...
After leaving him, Tang Ning has a boyfriend and is followed by suitors. Her life is rich and colorful. If he hadn't come out, she might have completely forgotten his existence. She really did what she said she would do and always look forward.
But he was still clinging to the beautiful memories Tang Ning had left him and was unwilling to let go. He even moved his house next door to Tang Ning's, thinking that Tang Ning was just angry with him and had been deceived by outsiders. He believed that as long as she calmed down and saw the true colors of the people around her, she would eventually come back to him.
hehe……
At this moment, Han Jun, who could no longer deceive himself, felt a surge of emotions—anger, fear, grievance, sadness, and reluctance—all rushing into his mind in an instant.
By the time he realized what was happening, he had already blurted out sarcastic and bitter words, "No wonder I couldn't get through to you no matter how many times I called you these days? So that's why. With two new lovers by your side, of course you can't wait to throw your old flame to the winds?"
"But who was it that swore back then that personal matters would never affect work or the company? It turns out that President Tang's standards only apply to outsiders, and she never sets an example herself. I hope Tang Ning remembers that I, Han Jun, am not only your ex-boyfriend and fiancé, but also Ning Zhen's manager. When you can't be completely sure whether I'm calling you for personal or business reasons, you have no reason not to answer my calls!"
Han Jun's eyes were slightly red as he spoke these words with a firm and resolute tone.
"And Tang Ning, don't you think you've been living a ridiculous life since we broke up? First you got involved with a blind man who has nothing but a pretty face, and now you've even brought back this pretty boy. What are you..."
Han Jun hadn't finished speaking his grief and indignation.
Unable to bear it any longer, Su Mo stood up without hesitation, "Enough! I don't care what your relationship with Sister Tang Ning was before, but how can you say such things about her? She and Brother Shen Yin are a legitimate boyfriend and girlfriend, so how come you call it meddling? What do you mean by meddling?"
"And me, I only want to stay by Tang Ning's side to repay the debt of gratitude I owe her. Tang Ning is the best person in the world, and I will never allow you to make such malicious assumptions about her! Besides, I only regard her as my sister, and I am not as despicable as you think!"
Su Lucha's skill is evident from the moment she makes a move.
First, she used the "green tea" quote, and then in just a few words, she labeled Han Jun as malicious and despicable, leaving him in a situation where he could not speak out.
The results are naturally significant.
Didn't you see Han Jun's face turn green the moment Su Mo spoke?
"I clearly didn't mean that, how could you misinterpret my words like that..."
Han Jun simply couldn't believe that his words had come out of the other person's mouth in such a way!
"Tang Ning, you know I'm not..."
Han Jun subconsciously turned his gaze to Tang Ning's face, who was being protected by Pei Yuan and Su Mo.
Tang Ning frowned slightly and looked away.
Han Jun suddenly clenched his fist.
Just then, Pei Yuan took a step forward. "So, Mr. Han, you dressed like this and waited here just to mock Ningning? If that's the case, then I think you've achieved your goal. I can feel that Ningning, who was so happy when she got out of the car, is now in a completely bad mood..."
"Do you even have the right to speak here?"
Pei Yuan's silence only fueled Han Jun's anger.
"I haven't settled the score with you for what you did at the Qingdao University alumni gathering last time!"
"Settle accounts? I don't think I've done anything to wrong you that would warrant you coming all this way to settle scores with me. Of course, no need for apologies either. I'll just assume you didn't mean it, and I don't blame you. In fact, I'd like to thank you..."
“When you came to me before, you told me that Ningning was just playing around with a blind guy like me who had nothing, and that everything she did was just because she was angry with you. You said that once her anger subsided, she would naturally come back to you, and then I, as a decoration, would be useless… I was anxious and scared for a long time, worried that what you said was true. But after falling into the water, the worry on Ningning's face, and the caring way she took care of me when I was sick, etc., were all real. I completely believe that she is sincere to me!”
Pei Yuan smiled gently, but in reality, almost every word he said was meant to sow discord between Tang Ning and Han Jun, and he even subtly showed off to his rival Su Mo.
As expected of you, Pei Yuan!
Tang Ning immediately started clapping in her mind.
Meanwhile, Su Ya, still sitting in the passenger seat, was trembling and gripping the seatbelt tightly. The outside world was too dangerous, with flashing swords and shadows; it was safer inside the car.
No, she should just live on campus after she starts school. She hasn't even had her first love yet, and she doesn't want to experience the cruel side of love so early.
Also, that new guy is such a straight man! He clearly likes Tang Ning, but he just comes up and starts criticizing her. What girl would like that? Not to mention he also has to deal with two powerful and ruthless opponents: his brother and his boyfriend.
She couldn't bear to watch any longer; he was one million percent going to become cannon fodder.
Suya made a cross gesture on her chest and whispered "Amen."
Unfortunately, Su Ya's half-hearted prayers for Han Jun had no effect whatsoever.
Almost as soon as Han Jun heard Pei Yuan's words, he cried out in his heart that something was wrong, but it was too late.
He originally thought that the person had already retaliated by framing him for falling into the water that day, but he never expected that he would do it again today...
So Han Jun watched helplessly as Tang Ning shook her head slightly, looked at him in disbelief, and then pulled Pei Yuan, who was blind and unaware of the changes in everyone's expressions, behind her.
"Han Jun, is everything Shen Yin said true? Did you say all these things to him at the alumni reunion?"
Tang Ning confirmed it again.
Seeing that Tang Ning still chose to believe her boyfriend's words without asking any questions, and with all the memories of being framed at the alumni gathering flooding back, Han Jun's eyes instantly turned bloodshot. He clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his forehead suddenly bulged.
"So what if I said it? Did I say anything wrong? Isn't he a penniless good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat your food, use your money, and spend your money, and can't even see? We've been together for ten years, and you've been with him for less than a month. Do you really think you'll grow old with someone like him?"
"Yes, I made a mistake before, and I wavered, but I really didn't have any inappropriate relationship with Xia Yang, and I haven't even contacted her recently. You've embarrassed me in front of others time and time again for this thing, and I still love you, so I can tolerate it. But now I really can't take it anymore... Ningning, that's enough, okay? Let's stop arguing, let's start over, okay? I'm begging you..."
Upon hearing this, Su Mo's breath caught in his throat, and Pei Yuan's grip on Tang Ning's hand tightened.
Tang Ning seemed oblivious to everything, silently watching Han Jun for a long time before finally shaking her head gently.
"If only you had told me this before I went to Yun City! Actually, I should probably thank Xia Yang. It was her return that made me realize how many problems existed between us, and made me understand that even if we've been together for ten years, incompatible people are still incompatible. Han Jun, we're not right for each other..."
These words made Han Jun, who felt as if Tang Ning had personally sentenced him to death, stagger. He looked at Tang Ning sadly and said, "What do you mean we're not suitable? What's not suitable? You've clearly fallen for someone else, that's why you're telling me we're not suitable. We were so compatible before, living together, starting a business together, we even had our wedding photos taken, just waiting to get married... We were about to get married, Tang Ning!"
"Yes, we were about to get married, and then you slapped me awake. Actually, when I saw the intimate photos of you and Xia Yang together, I even thought about just closing my eyes and ears, pretending I didn't see anything, and continuing to take wedding photos, get married, and have the banquet. But in the end, I couldn't hold back... If you want to blame someone, blame me for not being able to swallow my anger back then!"
With that, Tang Ning took Pei Yuan's hand and turned to walk towards the villa.
Seeing this, Su Mo quickly followed.
He had only taken a couple of steps when he heard Pei Yuan's remorseful voice slowly ring out, "Ningning, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I didn't mean for you and him to argue because of me..."
"How can this be your fault? Han Jun came over and made trouble for no reason. It's good to take this opportunity to clarify things with him. Also, I've never thought of you as a useless blind person. You're not allowed to think that way anymore, understand?"
"Um!"
Pei Yuan nodded slightly.
Just then, Han Jun's hoarse voice rang out from behind them, "Even if we break up, Tang Ning, I still want to give you one last piece of advice. The man beside you is definitely not as simple and innocent as you think. Do you really understand him? Do you know that what he shows you is his true personality? I like you, so I don't want you to be deceived by such a despicable person!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ning paused slightly, then took Pei Yuan's hand and continued walking into the villa.
That evening, just after taking a shower, Tang Ning heard someone knocking on her bedroom door from the outside.
He opened the door in confusion and saw Su Mo.
Standing at the corner of the villa, Tang Ning looked at Su Mo, who seemed hesitant to speak, and immediately smiled. "What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me? Do you need to be like this with me? Just say what you want to say, no need to beat around the bush."
Upon hearing Tang Ning's question, and encouraged by her gaze, Su Mo took a deep breath, his expression becoming serious. "Sister Tang Ning, don't think I'm trying to sow discord. Actually, I think what that President Han said makes sense. I also feel something's off about Brother Shen Yin; he seems mysterious, impossible to understand at a glance. I'm just sharing my feelings with you now, nothing more. You're such a good person, I don't want you to be deceived. I just hope you can always be happy..."
Hearing this, Tang Ning's eyes had already softened. She raised her hand and ruffled Su Mo's freshly washed, fluffy, soft hair. "Alright, I know. I understand. Anyway, thank you for your concern. But I still trust Shen Yin. I don't think he would lie to me."
Seeing the faint apology in Tang Ning's eyes, Su Mo felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
"Alright, it's getting late. You're so young and you're already worrying so much. Go back to sleep. You didn't sleep well last night."
"And what about you?"
"I'm going back to my room too, where else could I go?"
Tang Ning found it somewhat amusing.
Hearing this answer, Su Mo scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. After saying goodnight to Tang Ning, he returned to his room.
As soon as his figure disappeared through the doorway, Tang Ning's smile slowly faded, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.
Almost simultaneously, Pei Yuan, who had been hiding to the side and had heard almost the entire conversation between Tang Ning and Su Mo, even not missing any of Tang Ning's changing expressions, had his upper half of his face completely hidden in shadow, with only half of his high nose and thin lips showing, making it impossible for anyone to see any of his expression.
Why is it that one is like this, and two are like this too? Han Jun is causing trouble, and Su Mo is getting involved too...
Why can't these people just be a little more honest?
Why are there so many people around Tang Ning? Can't there be fewer?
Why couldn't she just keep looking at him, just look at him?
Um?
Pei Yuan had a question that came from the bottom of his heart.
But before he could even process his doubts, a bloody smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
Author's Note: Trouble brewing! Trouble brewing! Whenever Pei the Black-Hearted Lotus is unhappy, he's bound to cause trouble; he won't let anyone get away with it! Tang Ning is counting on him to boost her KPIs, hahaha!
Once everything is settled, the story will be almost over, so don't worry everyone!
