Ruan Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then slowly asked, "Really? Who is her boyfriend?"
I thought he would say a strange, unverifiable name, but he said, "My brother, Luo Pingjiang. I should call that girl my cousin."
After Chen Muyun finished speaking, he saw Ruan Qingqing looking at him with her deep dark eyes, and for a moment he could not tell what she was thinking.
He was a little nervous again, but his expression was more determined and confident. He said, "If you don't believe me, I'll call Luo Pingjiang right now. Just listen to me."
Ruan Qingqing suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, you fight."
Chen Muyun thought very clearly that among the people around him, only Luo Pingjiang knew that Ruan Qingling had come to Huaicheng.
Even though Luo Pingjiang got angry last time and didn't agree with what he did. But women’s affairs are women’s, and men’s relationships are men’s. Now he wants Luo Pingjiang to collude in giving false testimony, as he thinks the other party will definitely help him.
Chen Muyun found Luo Pingjiang’s WeChat and quickly sent him a message: Are you there?
Fortunately, Luo Pingjiang replied immediately: Yes.
Chen Muyun: Help me.
Luo Pingjiang:?
Chen Muyun dialed the number and said, "I just asked, he is not busy now, so he can answer the phone."
As expected, Luo Pingjiang picked up the phone right away. Chen Muyun turned on the speakerphone and put the phone on the table: "Brother, there is something you need to clarify for me."
Luo Pingjiang: "What's the matter?"
Ruan Qingqing's eyes were fixed.
Chen Muyun pretended to be relaxed and answered, "Didn't you and your girlfriend Ruan Qingling come to my house to play last night? As a result, Qingqing happened to see me picking up Ruan Qingling for you and got jealous. She thought there was something going on between Ruan Qingling and me.
Brother, I'm taking the blame for you. Tell Qingqing yourself, is Ruan Qingling your girlfriend? Were the three of us together yesterday? Otherwise Qingqing won’t forgive me. ”
Luo Pingjiang on the other end of the phone remained silent.
Chen Muyun was still very confident. He had made it so clear. They were all men. Luo Pingjiang had always treated him very well. It was just a matter of a few words. With Luo Pingjiang's shrewdness and experience, he would definitely help him resolve the issue.
"Is she listening too?" Luo Pingjiang asked.
Chen Muyun was stunned for a moment, thinking that Luo Pingjiang's question was a bit strange, but he didn't think too much about it and replied: "Yes, Qingqing is next to me."
Luo Pingjiang was silent for a few seconds, and then he said in a clear voice: "Mu Yun, I told you that I have always had someone in my heart all these years, so I haven't found a girlfriend."
Chen Muyun didn't understand what he meant for a moment and was stunned. The two brothers had joked about this before, and when he asked further, Luo Pingjiang did reveal this meaning, that he had someone in his heart and liked her quite a lot.
But for some reason, we never got together. Chen Muyun felt that he must be unrequited love. But why bring this up now?
As a result, Luo Pingjiang was heard saying, "So, Mu Yun, if you want me to admit it now and be with another girl, I can't do it. I can help with other things, but not this. I'm sorry."
Luo Pingjiang hung up the phone.
Chen Muyun felt a darkness before his eyes, and looked up in panic, only to see Ruan Qingqing's expression still as calm as dead water. He hurriedly reached out and tried to grab her arm: "Qingqing, I..."
He never expected that Luo Pingjiang would stab him at this moment. Just for that hopeless platonic crush?
He just felt extremely hateful. He and Luo Pingjiang were not done with this matter. He even suspected that Luo Pingjiang was intentionally taking advantage of his misfortune.
But now is not the time to pursue this. How should he explain it to Ruan Qingqing?
He just felt that he had fallen into the bottom of a pit. Because he trusted Luo Pingjiang wrongly, he completely ruined himself.
Ruan Qingqing raised her arms suddenly to avoid his touch, she stood up and said, "Enough, Chen Muyun, let's end it here. We will go our separate ways from now on. The past year... just treat it as a beautiful memory. We can't go on like this. Let's part ways in peace and no one blames anyone. I... wish you happiness." After saying these words, her tears still fell in pain.
Chen Muyun felt his heart shrink and his throat became hoarse. His eyes suddenly turned red and he stared at her.
"You want to break up?" he asked in a trembling voice, "You want to break up with me? Break up now?"
Ruan Qingqing wiped away her tears and replied, "There's nothing to say. Get out of the way. I want to go back."
Chen Muyun grabbed her arm, tears falling down: "Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? After so many years of relationship... I love you so much that I want to pour out my heart, and you just want to break up?"
Ruan Qingqing looked up: "Really? Then what is Ruan Qingling? Your other sweetheart?"
Chen Muyun paused. He already knew how heartless Ruan Qingqing's nature was, otherwise she wouldn't have watched him pursue her for three years without any reaction.
But after they were together, she completely put away this side of herself and was only gentle and considerate to him.
But now, once she decided to break up, this cold and sharp side of her revealed itself again.
He yelled, "How can she be the same? How can she compare with you? She is just... just my friend! I admit that I was bewildered for a moment and gave her a chance.
But in my heart, you are different, and I have never thought of breaking up with you!
Qingqing, please forgive me this time, just this time! No one can guarantee that they will not make mistakes, especially men. Are you really going to be so heartless? ”
Ruan Qingqing smiled faintly, which made him feel uneasy.
She said: "But with me, not even once, I am so heartless. Let go!"
Chen Muyun yelled, "Sit down! This matter is not over yet. I'm telling you, Ruan Qingqing, this will never end between the two of us!"
Ruan Qingqing's eyes were sad and distant. She said, "Chen Muyun, calm down. Look at the people around you. They are all looking at you. Look at where you are. Do we still want to continue making trouble here? Do you want everyone in the city government to know that you cheated and broke up with me tomorrow?"
Chen Muyun felt a chill in his heart, then he suddenly realized and looked around. Sure enough, everyone was looking at them, and some were even taking pictures with their phones. He also saw several familiar faces, colleagues from other departments of the unit.
"Let go and let me go, or I will shout." Ruan Qingqing said.
Chen Muyun looked at her in disbelief, and his rationality returned a little. He understood that she had deliberately chosen this place to meet him. She had even anticipated his pestering and loss of control. She also knew that he had no choice but to let her go now.
Because he would never allow himself to be branded as having a bad work style. He still has a bright future, his leaders value him, and their qualifications are carefully examined, so he cannot have any black spots.
He had always known her intelligence and prudence. After deciding to break up with him, she started to be wary of him.
Chen Muyun smiled bleakly, his red eyes filled with darkness and gloom. He slowly let go of her hand and said, "Ruan Qingqing, you are so cruel. Let's break up. Don't think that I really can't live without you. Don't regret it."
——
Ruan Qingqing returned to the nursing home and sat in a room with a single lamp, motionless.
What’s strange is that when the two were confronting each other just now, she really felt very uncomfortable and her heart was empty.
But now, everything was quiet, and she just felt tired and had no feelings at all. She didn't even shed a tear.
She didn't eat dinner and went to bed.
I don't know how long I slept when I suddenly woke up. It was already dark outside the window. The feeling of calm and emptiness still surrounded her, and she also had a vague feeling of letting go of something heavy that she had been carrying for a long time.
She finally felt hungry and wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat. When she passed the courtyard, she saw Doudou sitting with his knees hugged.
The last time Doudou fell seriously ill, he was taken home by his grandmother. This was the first time Ruan Qingqing saw him.
Ruan Qingqing walked over, touched the little guy's head and asked: Why don't you go to bed yet?
Doudou opened his bright eyes and signed: When will Sister Watermelon come back?
Ruan Qingqing glanced at Zeng Xi's door. The lights were off. It was only a little after 9 o'clock in the evening, so he should not be asleep yet. But Zeng Xi was not there.
Doudou told her again: Aunt Wang told me that Sister Xigua left today and went to Guangdong to find her parents. But I miss her.
Ruan Qingqing was stunned.
