“What do you know?”
Chu Boyan stopped in his tracks. “What?”
“Didn’t Ji Qing tell you anything?”
Chu Boyang looked at her for a long time before revealing a faint smile. “What do you want to know about her?”
Ji Fengmian’s face was filled with anger.
“I want to know what you think she said to make you care!”
Chu Boyang said calmly, “I don’t care what Ji Qing says.”
Ji Fengmian choked.
“You’re not telling me because you don’t want me to know. If you don’t want me to know, I don’t want to know.”
Ji Fengmian pursed his lips and fell silent.
“You can’t give me what I want the most. Although I care about those things, it’s fine if I’m not satisfied.”
Chu Boyan shook his head and said nothing.
He had said that too many times.
She had no choice, other than what she wanted the most.
“… Chu Boyang, if I say I’ll let you off and stop hating you, will you believe me?”
She was silent for a while before looking up at Chu Boyang’s face.
However, there was no surprise or surprise on that face.
However, after hearing her words, a faint smile appeared on her face.
“I don’t believe you. How can you not hate me? You’re just trying to tell me that I don’t have to compensate you and let you go? It’s right for you to hate me. If you hate me… I’ll feel better.”
He deserved to be punished. Her hatred was the best punishment for him.
Ji Fengmian gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.
For some reason, she felt sad.
“So what do you want?”
She really didn’t know what to do.
He stubbornly refused to let her go.
He wanted to be entangled with her forever, but he also wanted her to hate him.
What the hell was this?
How should such a sick relationship end?
“That’s all. Do something to make yourself happy every day and spend some time dealing with me occasionally.”
Ji Fengmian closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
The two of them were now in a cage filled with thorns.
Even if they struggled, both sides would be injured.
She stood up slowly and threw her shawl on the bed before walking towards the bathroom.
“Chu Boyang, don’t force me.”
The pain in Chu Boyang’s eyes seemed to be innate.
He could only force her now.
The next day, Ji Fengmian didn’t plan to go to Grand View Manor.
Chu Juncheng arrived early in the morning with two strangers.
When she returned from watering the flowers, there was a commotion upstairs.
She listened carefully for a while. Other than Chu Boyang’s deep voice, she couldn’t hear anything else.
She turned to ask the pale-faced servant beside her, “What’s wrong?”
The servant shook her head. “I… I’m not sure. But Master doesn’t seem to like seeing doctors…”
‘Doctor?’
Ji Fengmian’s eyes flickered as he realized something.
Chu Boyang caused a huge commotion and Chu Juncheng could only bring two psychiatrists out of the study. The few of them were in a sorry state.
Chu Juncheng’s face was red and swollen.
Ji Fengmian came out of the bedroom and bumped into him.
Chu Juncheng saw that she was dressed neatly and her hair was combed neatly.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m meeting someone for lunch.”
“Who?”
Ji Fengmian frowned. “No.”
Chu Juncheng narrowed his eyes and said, “Aunt Ji, I know that you’ve always done whatever you want. Whether you forgive him or not depends on how you want to live the easiest life in the future. You have him in your heart and know his feelings for you. Why do you have to force the two of you to a dead end? Are you willing to waste your time?”
“Why should I forgive someone who has made a mistake and caused me harm? I also think that it’s a waste of time. Instead of blaming me and convincing me to let go of the past, why don’t you persuade him to let me go?”
Chu Juncheng rubbed his temples.
“To be honest, if it were me who knew that Miss Shen Fanxing might be your daughter, I would definitely come back and get the custody back. You wouldn’t have to stay in the Shen family for so many years!”
Ji Fengmian’s face darkened.
However, Chu Juncheng continued, “If the Shen family knew that you lied to them back then, what would happen? If this matter was exposed, how would you have the face in Ping Cheng City? If you weren’t afraid that his appearance would make you think that he wanted to fight for custody with you, if you weren’t afraid that you would hate him even more, do you think… your daughter would have ended up like this? She would have married Bo Jinchuan and given birth to a pair of children?
A single mistake would completely change the outcome of a matter. It was just like how he wanted to save the two of you back then and chose to shoot you! Then, you lost your child. If you didn’t choose to hide your pregnancy from him back then, this matter might have ended differently!
Taking a step back, if you didn’t lose that child, would you choose to forgive him? I don’t think you would either. But what do you want? Do you want him to choose to shoot another pregnant woman whom he clearly knows has heart disease?”
Chu Juncheng sneered, “Aren’t you unable to tolerate Ji Qing?”
Ji Fengmian’s face was pale and his body was trembling.
She looked up at Chu Juncheng. “So, it’s my fault for not letting go of the past. His choice was the right one. I’m the one who’s ungrateful…”
“Did he ask you to forgive him?” Chu Boyan interrupted. “He has become like this. Do you think he has forgiven himself?”
“…”
“He didn’t make the right choice.”
Ji Fengmian’s body stiffened.
“If you were in his position back then, what would you have chosen? Would you have chosen to live a happy life with Ji Qing? Would he have felt happy or would you have felt happy? Or would he have chosen to hurt you like he did? Which of the two choices was right?
I have no right to criticize you. You’re the biggest victim of this incident. It’s only right for you to resent and hate me. It’s just that… I feel that it’s meaningless for the two of you to be like this. Not only are you unwilling to let go of each other, but you’re also not willing to let go of yourself. There’s no such thing as the past. If you really want to be together, you don’t have the time to think about what happened in the past. In the end, how many years can the two of you be together?”
Ji Fengmian’s eyes flickered.
Chu Juncheng let out a long sigh and said the most emotional words in his life.
“That’s all I have to say. If there’s anything inappropriate, I’ll apologize to you. I won’t mention this again.”
With that, he left the villa.
Ji Fengmian stood rooted to the ground for a long time. He wanted to walk to the sofa, but his legs went soft and he almost fell.
She held the armrest of the sofa and sat down slowly.
Her head buzzed and her chest felt stuffy.
There were some things that she had considered back then.
However, because she had lost her child, she had turned everything into Chu Boyang’s sharpest weapon.
Now that others had said it, she was the one who was wrong.
Ha.
Chu Boyang had so many reasons.
After sitting on the sofa for some time, Chu Boyang came downstairs. When he saw her, he hurried to her.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Ji Fengmian looked up at him. He was still handsome and tall. There were many traces of age on his body.
She remembered hearing him and Chu Juncheng upstairs not long ago.
Looking at how well-dressed she was, it was as though everything that had happened just now was an illusion.
She pushed his hand away and stood up slowly. “… I’m meeting someone for lunch. I’m going out now.”
Chu Boyang reached out to stop her. “I’ll send you there.”
“No need, there’s a driver.”
“I’ll send you there!” Chu Boyang insisted.
Ji Fengmian stopped talking.
Chu Boyan followed.
Ji Fengmian’s destination was a Chinese restaurant.
Chu Boyang got out of the car and opened the door for her.
“I don’t know when it will end, but it shouldn’t be long. If you can’t wait, you can go back first or go somewhere else.”
Glancing at the antique door in front of him, Chu Boyang pursed his lips. “Who… are you meeting?”
Ji Fengmian was expressionless as he turned around and walked towards the teahouse.
“I don’t know.”
However, Chu Boyang still followed silently.
Ji Fengmian went to the second floor and greeted another man calmly.
“Sorry, I’m late.”
The man stood up. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He was tall and slender, and his age was comparable to theirs. He had a refined temperament and a clean and handsome face.
“It’s alright, please sit.”
The man smiled and pulled out a chair for Ji Fengmian.
“Thank you.”
The two of them started ordering.
Chu Boyan stood in the doorway, his hands balled into fists.
The waiter at the door asked him suspiciously.
He stood there with a straight face for a long time before leaving the restaurant.
Standing at the door, he finally took out a cigarette from his pocket.
Her hands trembled visibly as she held the lighter. It took her a few tries to light the cigarette.
He took a long and deep drag.
The smoke he exhaled blurred his face.
His tall figure wrapped in a green windbreaker looked cold and aloof in the cold wind.
Ji Fengmian looked down through the window and could only see the man’s head and figure. She didn’t know his expression.
She retracted her gaze and answered the man’s question calmly.
The man opposite her had an impeccable temperament.
Since she was a friend introduced by Bo Jinchuan, she naturally didn’t dare to find someone to stand in front of her.
After the meal, Ji Fengmian didn’t say much, but the man’s words revealed that he had arranged for their next meeting.
Ji Fengmian didn’t refuse.
In the end, she rejected his offer to send her home.
Chu Boyan stood by the car and watched as the two of them got down side by side. The muscles on his face twitched.
Ji Fengmian approached and opened the car door. The man raised his hand to block the door and placed his hand on Ji Fengmian’s arm to protect her.
