For some reason, seeing Gu Xiaoting so miserable and destitute, Jiang Yimei felt a pang of heartache.
Perhaps because they've been together for so long, their relationship has a solid foundation.
There's no way around it; it all stems from a lack of trust.
Trust is a wonderful thing; it can destroy a sincere and genuine relationship, and it can also test an unwavering love until death.
They could endure it, be happy, and live life to the fullest, just like her and Yaoyao.
Unable to bear it, all that remains is heartbreak and pain, a life-or-death struggle, like that between her and Gu Xiaoting.
The onlookers were surprised that things would end this way.
If what the woman surnamed Gu said was true, then this white-collar worker surnamed Lin is quite an idiot.
That woman surnamed Jiang isn't exactly stunningly beautiful, so there's no need for her to go to such lengths for her.
If what the woman surnamed Gu said is unrealistic, then the problem lies with the woman surnamed Gu.
In short, they were just watching the show; how things would develop between the three of them was none of their business.
The employees of Perkins Toys Ltd. left in fear along with the crowd.
They dared not let Manager Lin hold a grudge, because they still wanted to make a living and stay in Chuyun City.
As the crowd dispersed, Lin Congzhi turned back to Jiang Yimei again, his voice filled with urgency: "You haven't answered my question yet."
When Jiang Yimei met Lin Congzhi's sincere eyes again, her expression changed, and she suddenly felt a little resistant: "Lin Congzhi, you don't have to be so nice to me."
Lin Congzhi stared arrogantly at Jiang Yimei and replied domineeringly, "I'm sorry, I can't do that."
Ignoring her words, Jiang Yimei coldly advised, "I believe you have already heard clearly that I have a boyfriend and am preparing to get married. Please do not waste your time on me."
Lin Congzhi's heart skipped a beat, followed by a dull ache.
An immense pain swept through his entire body, causing him to tremble slightly.
He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and did his best to restrain himself, not giving Jiang Yimei even the slightest chance to laugh at him.
That stubbornness unique to men is truly heartbreaking, but who can they blame for the trouble they brought upon themselves?
After a long silence, having endured all of this alone, he finally spoke in a low, hoarse voice, each word filled with coldness and domineering: "I don't care, I only care about your safety. I will not let anyone who hurts you go unpunished, including you."
When he said "including you," he stared at Jiang Yimei with such determination and ruthlessness.
Even through two layers of flesh, Jiang Yimei could feel Lin Congzhi's deep affection.
She simply couldn't reconcile this deep affection with the man in front of her who only knew how to toy with women, and so she angrily blurted out, "What exactly are you up to?"
Lin Congzhi answered in a low voice, bluntly: "I'll take you back."
"Rob? That's impossible."
With a cold laugh and disdain, Jiang Yimei finished speaking and hurriedly left.
But a bitter feeling welled up inside me, a dull ache lingering in my heart.
If Lin Congzhi had acted even a tenth as well as he does now seven years ago, she would have remained devoted to him until death. But back then, Lin Congzhi did not.
That look in his eyes was so cold and distant, so unapproachable.
For some reason, Lin Congzhi felt so uncomfortable, even more so than when he was beaten up.
After enduring the pain for a long time, he finally calmed down and silently followed Jiang Yimei out of the underground shopping mall.
Back at the company, Jiang Yimei locked herself in her office and reflected on her actions.
