Chapter 35.1

The sudden return of my memories exhausted me . Yin Li therefore changed our itinerary so that we skipped the Cancun and Caribbean parts of our trip .

Sitting in the Mexico City airport, all I could think of was a shabby, old house . I’d lived there until I turned twelve . The desire to go to that old house pressed urgently down on my mind . I had the feeling that that place contained some memories I hadn’t recovered yet, but were somehow very important .

“I’ve already ordered people to investigate . We’ve already narrowed it down to approximately a hundred or so orphanages . No need to worry, we’ll find it . ” Yin Li comforted me, patting my head . “We still have an hour before boarding . I’ll go and buy a cup of coffee and get you some chocolate milk . ”

I nodded at him, but he had already left . Out of boredom, I wandered out of the waiting area and into the duty-free shops to browse around . When I happened to glance back, I was shocked speechless .

Yin Li carried a steaming cup in each hand . His expression was as cold as ice as he stood at the entrance of Starbucks . Facing him on the other side, with an ashen face, was Li Jing .

“Yin Li, you lowly b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Li Jing said, gritting his teeth . Perhaps because we were in Mexico, he didn’t care whether anyone understood Chinese . He didn’t lower his voice in the slightest .

The pa.s.sing Mexicans looked curiously at these two tall Asian men confronting each other, the mutual hostility between them palpable .

Yin Li wasn’t angered by Li Jing’s att.i.tude . He merely smiled . “I never said I was high and mighty in the first place . ”

“To think I believed you!” Li Jing was unsatisfied with Yin Li’s att.i.tude . “What was it exactly that we had agreed to?! Back then, Yi Yun wanted to have some peace and quiet alone . That’s why she left France by herself . I’d wanted to chase after her, but she didn’t want to see me . So I just quietly protected her . But then, my father suddenly pa.s.sed away, which of course was a major blow to me . And what did you do during this time? It was you who helped my ‘little brothers’ .   You gave them free advice on how to hinder me, helping them contest my father’s will and cause trouble . Other than having to take care of those illegitimate b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, I also had to comfort my shocked and angered mother . At that time, you took the initiative to contact me . You offered, in exchange for me not immediately reporting Yin Xuan to the authorities, you wouldn’t appear by Yi Yun’s side while I was busy!

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

“You said the deal was I’d give Yin Xuan some leeway . After then I finished sorting out my business in France, we could fairly begin to chase Yi Yun from the same starting line!”

Yin Li gave Li Jing a calm look . “You can chase after her right now if you want . We aren’t married yet . ”

“What sort of a joke is this? You’ve broken the agreement . Not only did you create a huge mess to keep me occupied, you also took advantage of my absence to appear by Yi Yun’s side . This half year, she’s gone through so much and struggled so much . Yet I could only hear about them secondhand from others . When she needed me the most, you separated me from her . Not to mention this . I rushed over after the press conference only to find that you had already brought her to Mexico . You used all sorts of methods to prevent me from contacting her!

“You aren’t a gentleman at all! You aren’t worthy of her!”

Yin Li didn’t notice I was present . His att.i.tude when confronting Li Jing could even be called arrogant . “When it comes to love, I was never a gentleman . But you don’t seem to qualify as one either . It’s a pity you didn’t guess the place wrong . ” He meant Yin Xuan’s matter . Li Jing shot him another glance and grew quiet .

“How is Yi Yun? I want to see her . ”

Yin Li smiled . “Her memories are slowly coming back . ”

Li Jing revealed a happy expression, but Yin Li continued . “But have you ever even understood her? Clearly, her time with you didn’t amount to much . She doesn’t even like ballet . ”

“You don’t even know her past, or how she lived with only the despair she knew as ballet . Even such that she would’ve preferred death . But you, and her mother, and everyone else, subconsciously, all of you only loved the her who danced ballet so dazzlingly . ” Yin Li gazed at Li Jing . “To be frank, perhaps it was you all who imperceptibly pushed her to the edge .

“That’s probably why she rejected you . I eagerly look forward to what her att.i.tude towards you will be like when she fully recovers her memories . ” Yin Li continued on, calmly and quietly leaving Li Jing not a single drop of mercy .

Li Jing revealed an incredulous and wounded expression . It was obviously a big blow to him, and unexpectedly he couldn’t even form a response .

I suddenly felt like I couldn’t continue watching . Neither Yin Li nor Li Jing had noticed me, so I turned and left .
