"Liu Xinze has already met his girlfriend's parents, when are you and Luo Wenbin going to meet them? You two have been dating for quite a while now."
He Shan suddenly fell silent.
He Wenlin asked, "Why aren't you saying anything? Did he bully you?"
No, not at all.
"That's fine then. I'll hang up now. We can talk again when I get home."
After hanging up the phone, He Shan's face was full of disappointment.
She didn't tell He Wenlin that she and Luo Wenbin hadn't been in contact for five or six days.
Now, if she doesn't contact him, he won't contact her. At first, it was every one or two days, then every three or four days, and now it's every five or six days.
He Shan held her phone, staring at that familiar string of numbers, hesitated for a long time, and then sent a message.
But he never replied to the message.
I only received his "I'm busy" message when it was time for dinner.
He Shan felt a chill run down her spine.
She replied: Are you that busy right now?
She received a reply at 10 p.m. when she was off work: "Mm".
He Shan received the text message and immediately called back, but Luo Wenbin hung up on her.
He Shan sent a message: Still busy? When are you free?
There was no reply. He Shan lay in bed, constantly checking her phone until after 3 a.m., but still no reply came.
The next morning, He Shan called again, but Luo Wenbin hung up on her again.
He Shan sent another message: Darling, call me back when you see this message.
But He Shan didn't receive any messages or phone calls until the afternoon.
He Shan couldn't resist and sent another message that evening: Darling, you're so busy. Do you still remember Shan Shan by Daming Lake?
The message remained unanswered; by noon the next day, there was still no message or call from him.
He Shan couldn't hold back any longer and sent a text message saying, "Let's break up."
The other party replied "okay" instantly.
He Shan couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
She called Luo Wenbin, but he didn't answer at all.
He Shan cried so hard she could barely breathe, and asked, "Why?"
The other party replied: "The age is not suitable, my family does not agree, and we are too far apart in age."
He Wenlin returned to her villa in Shanghai from Shaoxing. As soon as she got back, she heard He Shan crying.
"What's wrong? Shanshan, what's wrong?"
"Luo Wenbin wants to break up with me, sob sob..."
"Why? Is it because I'm getting revenge on Liu Xinze?"
He Shan showed the text message to He Wenlin: "He said we're not the right age, that we're too far apart, sob sob..."
In fact, He Shan had long been prepared for Luo Wenbin's family to object, because she knew in her heart that there was a huge gap between their family backgrounds.
But these words should not have come out of Luo Wenbin's mouth!
"Is it because I'm getting revenge on Liu Xinze? If I am, what did he say?"
“He hasn’t contacted me at all,” He Shan said between sobs. “We used to see each other every day, and even when we didn’t see each other, we would text each other every day. Starting in November, he would only contact me every two or three days. In December, it was three or four days, then it became five or six days. After that, if I didn’t contact him, he wouldn’t contact me. Now, when I call him, he doesn’t answer. When I text him, he either takes forever to reply or he just gives me perfunctory answers. When I text him, he never replies. But when I text him to break up, he replies instantly. Waaah…”
He Wenlin went through all their chat history from this period of time.
As someone in her thirties, He Wenlin could sense that Luo Wenbin had been considering breaking up with her for several months.
Back then, Liu Xinze's affair hadn't even started yet.
If He Shan doesn't bring up breaking up, he'll continue to use this passive-aggressive behavior, refusing to contact her, and eventually the two will drift apart.
A typical scumbag!
The excuses like "the age is not right," "family disagreement," or "the age gap is too big" are all just that—excuses!
“If you don’t have a man, you still have me,” He Wenlin comforted her. “Who doesn’t encounter a jerk or two when they’re young? It’s not a big deal.”
"Waaah..." He Shan burst into tears.
After she finished crying, He Wenlin handed her a pack of tissues: "It's just a man, right? You're so beautiful, you could easily find someone ten or a hundred times better than him! He's so old, he's not good enough for you at all."
He Shan wiped away her tears: "You're just good at comforting me."
“I’m not just flattering you. In my heart, you are outstanding and a very trustworthy partner,” He Wenlin said. “You don’t need to go to work today. Let the assistant store manager work overtime. Come on, let’s go out and have some fun, let’s go shopping. I’ll pay.”
"I don't want to go, sob sob sob..." He Shan cried again in less than two minutes.
He Wenlin could completely understand her state of mind. After all, it was her first love, and at this point, no amount of advice from others would help.
He Wenlin went out to call the assistant store manager and asked her to work half a day overtime, at least to get through the evening rush hour.
After He Wenlin hung up the phone, He Shan came out with tears streaming down her face.
"I'm going to find him, Linlin, I'm going to find him and ask him what happened."
"Okay, I'll go with you, but do you know where he is?"
“I know where his company is.”
"Okay, I'll go with you."
He Wenlin drove her to Luo Wenbin's company building, and by sheer coincidence, she saw him eating Häagen-Dazs with another girl downstairs, the two of them sharing a large cup.
The girl had exquisite makeup, was dressed elegantly, had big wavy hair, was very pretty, a little alluring, and had a great presence.
She is a completely different type of beauty from He Shan.
The moment He Shan saw her, she felt a little inferior.
