Chapter 8: Trying to have your cake and eat it too
After Su Yuanzheng left, Xia Yutong planned to take a nap, but as soon as she lay down, she realized that there was a lot of things she hadn't dealt with yet.
She picked up the original owner's phone and saw that the original owner had actually arranged to meet Lin Wang.
Okay, okay, the original owner planned to get together with Lin Wang after failing with Zhou Hengzhi...
They're working so hard, never letting themselves have a moment to rest.
Xia Yutong picked up her bag, put her phone inside, and unexpectedly discovered that she had hidden the medicine that the original owner had prepared for herself and Zhou Hengzhi...
As if she had touched a hot potato, Xia Yutong covered her nose, put the packet of medicine directly into the bathroom, flushed it down the drain, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Lin Wang arrived at the ice rink early.
Lin Wang is not a talkative person. Once the time is agreed upon, there is no need for further communication beforehand; he will naturally arrive at the place and wait.
When Xia Yutong arrived at the ice rink from the suburbs, Lin Wang had already been waiting for a long time.
He was wearing a clean white shirt, sitting in a wheelchair, with Zheng Yucheng standing behind him.
Speaking of Zheng Yucheng, he can be described as an expert in anti-pretentiousness. From the beginning, Zheng Yucheng told Lin Wang that the original owner had an ulterior motive in approaching him, but Lin Wang did not believe him.
He was born with a disability, and everyone who saw him was afraid of him or looked at him with disdain. Only Xia Yutong would take the initiative to befriend him and make him happy.
Make him forget that he is disabled.
Anyone with eyes could see that the approach was purposeful, but Lin Wang felt that the original owner had warmed his heart.
Seeing Lin Wang from afar outside the ice rink, Xia Yutong felt that the original owner of this body was not human.
She tolerated his attempt to seduce Zhou Hengzhi and marry into a wealthy family, but this Lin Wang... he's disabled, yet he doesn't even spare a disabled person.
Moreover, in the original novel, Lin Wang did develop genuine feelings for Xia Yutong, and even considered marrying her when she was rejected by Zhou Hengzhi at the end.
Zheng Yucheng sighed, "Young Master, why don't you believe me? I've investigated everything, this woman..."
“Yu Cheng, stop talking. Yu Tong is simple-minded, unlike the women you’ve met before.”
Xia Yutong overheard this as she approached, and was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear.
Zheng Yucheng had a keen eye and spotted her immediately upon turning around. "Miss Xia."
"Yutong, you've come..."
Lin Wang turned around, and the moment he got close to Xia Yutong, she felt a sense of guilt.
However, believing that a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one, she was determined to be honest with Lin Wang.
Xia Yutong: "Have you been waiting a long time?"
Lin Wang: "I just arrived."
Zheng Yucheng muttered to himself, "Not long, just two hours."
Xia Yutong: "Sorry, I was stuck in traffic."
Lin Wang: "It's okay."
Lin Wang reached out to pull her, but Xia Yutong quickly pulled her hand back.
Most men are sensitive to physical contact, and the original owner knew this well. Therefore, in her interactions with Zhou Hengzhi and Lin Wang, she would subtly and intentionally create some physical contact.
"Yutong..."
"I asked you out today because I have something to tell you," Xia Yutong said, glancing deliberately at Zheng Yucheng.
Zheng Yucheng refused to leave, standing still and staring at her warily.
What trick is this woman up to now?
“Yu Cheng…” Lin Wang turned around and glanced at him, gesturing for him to leave.
Zheng Yucheng frowned, "Young Master, Master and Madam said..."
Lin Wang: "Are you going to listen to them or me?"
Without a doubt, she was like a rotten apple in both the Zhou and Lin families. Both families had long seen through her desire to marry into a wealthy family and were always on guard against her.
Only the original owner of this body thought he was quite clever.
The attempt to drug Zhou Heng backfired, as Zhou Jin outmaneuvered Lin Wang. As for Lin Wang, being disabled, the Lin family provided him with even stricter protection.
It was precisely because Lin Wang was more difficult to deal with that she first thought of drugging Zhou Heng. At least Zhou Heng could move on his own, but Lin Wang... sigh...
Xia Yutong: "It's okay, I can speak here too."
Zheng Yucheng almost rolled his eyes at her.
Xia Yutong said, "Lin Wang, we will always be friends. Su Yuanzheng and I are getting together. We are going back to our hometown to get married. I called you out today to say goodbye."
Although the original owner and Lin Wang had held hands and said some ambiguous things, they had never officially established a relationship.
Not only Lin Wang, but also Zhou Hengzhi, so she had both of them hanging on at the same time without any fear.
Without a doubt, Lin Wang was completely dumbfounded, and Zheng Yucheng's expression also became complicated.
"I hope you recover soon. Please don't give up, okay?"
Xia Yutong said what the original owner often said to Lin Wang.
Lin Wang was shocked, "Yutong, you..."
"I've always considered you a friend, and we'll always be friends."
Zheng Yucheng was dumbfounded, and Xia Yutong was so embarrassed she wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.
A hint of gloom appeared in Lin Wang's eyes. "So, the person you like is Zhou Hengzhi?"
"No, Zhou Hengzhi likes me..."
The original owner lied to both sides: he lied to Lin Wang that Zhou Hengzhi liked him and was harassing him; he also lied to Zhou Hengzhi that Lin Wang liked him; and at the same time, he lied to both of them that he was being harassed by Su Yuanzheng, the son of his adoptive parents...
The original owner of this body acted lawlessly because of her beauty.
The original owner was the one who caused the trouble, but she's the one who has to take the blame.
"Lin Wang, let me tell you the truth. Zhou Hengzhi likes me, but I don't like him. I treat you both as friends, and I treat both of you as friends."
As an outsider, Zheng Yucheng couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
Xia Yutong knew her words were terrible, but she had to get out of this strange relationship as soon as possible.
"That's all, Lin Wang... I'm leaving now, my good friend. Call me if you need anything."
Just then, Lin Wang suddenly grabbed her hand, "Yutong, don't leave me, okay?"
"I love you very much, and you feel the same way about me, don't you?"
"We're friends, don't overthink it."
Having made things clear, Xia Yutong felt relieved and turned to leave. She hadn't gone far when she ran into Zhou Hengzhi, who was coming over.
Her legs went weak. Oh no! Why did Zhou Hengzhi come?
Lin Wang turned around and saw Zhou Hengzhi. They both regarded each other as thorns in their side.
"Is it for him?" Lin Wang said, enunciating each word clearly.
He simply couldn't believe that Xia Yutong would choose Su Yuanzheng.
His people will also investigate. She has not met or had much contact with the so-called Su Yuanzheng, and Su Yuanzheng's family background is nothing to be afraid of.
Zhou Hengzhi, still reeling from the morning's events, felt betrayed by the entire world.
"Xia Yutong, you want to break up with me because of this cripple? Fine... you're very good!"
Zhou Hengzhi rushed over, grabbing her shoulders with both hands, his breathing rapid.
Even more rapid was Xia Yutong's breathing. Her mind was blank; she could hear her temples throbbing.
“Zhou... Zhou Hengzhi…”
Zhou Hengzhi: "Those are all excuses. You just want to be with Lin Wang, don't you? Xia Yutong, what do you take me for?!"
Lin Wang: "Let her go."
Lin Wang pushed his wheelchair over, but Zheng Yucheng pressed down on the wheelchair's wheels.
Lin Wang: "Yutong, so you wanted to be with me, didn't you? Did he threaten you?"
He turned to Zheng Yucheng and said in a low voice, "Yucheng, let me through."
"Xia Yutong, speak up. Do you want to be with this cripple?"
Left with no other choice, Xia Yutong raised her hands in a gesture of surrender: "You, you can't do this, we're all friends, all friends..."
