Chapter 558
Xia Ye Zhao was choked with self-reproach and anguish in his heart, “Qiongqiong, don’t think like this, you’ve already done so well. This isn’t your fault, it’s the world that has let you down, it’s my big brother’s failure to protect you.”
However, Ye Xingguang was overwhelmed with sadness.
She worked so hard to win her parents’ hearts, but some things were not within her reach no matter how hard she tried – she was enduring all this. Why was it the same with Ye Junqing?
Had she not been good enough for Ye Junqing; she had given him her all.
These past couple of days lying in bed, she carefully reconsidered – surrendering her heart and soul to him was essentially degrading herself.
From the beginning, Ye Junqing had no intention of accepting her. Ye Junqing had asked her to avoid him whenever she saw him, not to disrupt his life.
She always tried to intrude into his life. When she saw him engulfed in old problems, even if she lost face, she insisted on caring for him, even if he shouted, ‘go away’. She always showed up…noveldrama
Particularly after she found out that he was Qin Junye. She wished she could burn her entire heart for him; she would offer herself proactively when his old problems resurfaced…
Yet, it was crystal-clear that he never asked for her to offer herself, it was clear that he only wanted to lock himself up in the room on the third floor of the Ye’s mansion, patiently tolerating and enduring. Yet she had to offer herself as an antidote…
She had even raced back home with a durian because he wouldn’t apologize to her. She absurdly fantasized about taming him.
Isn’t it said that the beloved ones were the ones with nothing to fear? What right did she have to behave so fearlessly?
The Iron Lady was the woman that Ye Junqing wanted but couldn’t get – that heartless little scoundrel, as he referred to her.
At this moment, Bai Lanwu walked in with a phone in his hand, his face ashen. “Xingguang, you refused to dine in that restaurant the other night and insisted on leaving. Was it because you saw this?”
Bai Lanwu, though old, liked to check her daughter’s Weibo account ever since she created one, hoping to know more about what she’s going through. While reading through the Weibo feed, he saw a post from a netizen, claiming that Ye Junqing was spotted dining with another woman. When their daughter ran into them, she didn’t even have the courage to confront them and sneakily left the restaurant.
Ye Xingguang looked up and saw the video on Bai Lanwu’s phone.
The video was simple, showing how she held her mother’s hand and walked into the restaurant, how she left to find the restroom and in the process spotted Ye Junqing with Yan Xi, and how she turned back to talk to her mother before they both left the restaurant.
The netizen who exposed this also captured a clear screenshot from the video. The photograph poignantly contrasted a forlorn image of her with the jovial figures of Ye Junqing and the Iron Lady, whose face was indistinct but obviously feminine, seated at the booth.
The netizen’s caption was very incendiary: Stop worshipping @CarpGirl. There’s no such fairytale in the world. You think you can win the heart of a prominent bachelor from the rich list by a twist of fate as in TV shows? It’s literally a publicity stunt. The only reason the Big Baddie was willing to stage it was to boost Ye Shiting’s chances of becoming the President. Now that the Presidential election dust has settled, Carp Girl accidentally caught the Big Baddie dining with another woman. Yet she lacked the guts to confront them, choosing instead to beat a hasty retreat. She appeared so cowardly.
Bai Lanwu was infuriated by the photo and video. “Is this why you insisted on eating hotpot instead of staying at the restaurant? You saw Ye Junqing dining with another woman at the restaurant? When I asked why you suddenly wanted to go for hotpot, so this was the reason!”
