Chapter 153 - The Wonderful Times in the Past (2/2)
That was indeed a wonderful and fun time!
However, she destroyed the wonderful past with her own hands…
Her nose felt itchy and her eyes grew a little red at the thought.
“Mengqi, what happened?” Ma Linger asked in concern.
Zhao Mengqi took in a deep breath and forced a smile on her face: “No…it’s nothing. By the way, Linger, where did the $100,000 for my treatment come from?”
She vaguely recalled seeing Xiao Luo when she was half-asleep on her bed in the hospital, and only now remembered to confirm her suspicion with Ma Linger.
“Didn’t I already tell you? I got it from my family.” Ma Linger’s gaze dodged away with a bit of guilt from lying.
“Oh.”
Zhao Mengqi lowered her head in slight disappointment and then said, “I’ll pay you back the money I owe eventually.”
“Don’t worry about it, my family isn’t in need of money…”
Ma Linger’s voice slowly disappeared as she spoke out of lack of confidence. How could she just let $100,000 go without asking someone to pay back and felt that she will not be able to hide the fire with paper for long anymore? She pondered whether to lay it all out to Zhao Mengqi, but after some thought, she decided to test Zhao Mengqi’s thoughts first and quickly changed the subject.
“We can figure out the money issue after you recover. As your sister, I really must scold you here. Why did you choose that Hua Haifeng as your boyfriend? Those rich second generations have no skills and only a rich father. Look at him, he hasn’t even come over to see you since you were hospitalized, such a sc.u.m. Oh, no, even calling him a sc.u.m is too generous, he’s just a rock under a pit that’s smelly and hard.”
Zhao Mengqi’s face lifted a difficult smile: “Linger, don’t mention him. Now that it happened, I won’t blame anyone else besides myself for being foolish enough to buy into temptation.”
“Don’t say that, very few girls can withhold temptation in front of money. Take myself for example, if a rich boy tries to throw a few hundred thousand dollars at me, I might also just walk away with him without hesitation.”
Ma Linger skillfully turned the topic and changed the subject to Xiao Luo, “Alright, enough of that, let’s talk about someone else. Mengqi, who is that Xiao Luo person you were mumbling half-asleep while in the hospital?”
Zhao Mengqi was shocked and laughed at her difficulty in her mind: Did I call his name while I was unconscious?
“He was my ex-boyfriend and my first love. For both of us, it was our first time falling in love with no experiences before. We made a fool of ourselves, suffered, were a mess, and threw lots of att.i.tudes before. But now that I recall everything, it was filled with sweetness.”
She smiled sweetly. Whenever she thinks of Xiao Luo, Zhao Mengqi would feel happy.
An old scenery surfaced in her mind. She didn’t bring an umbrella and could only stand behind a bus stop to wait for the rain to pa.s.s. Her monthly was here and it was so painful she couldn’t even walk properly, so Xiao Luo carried her all the way back to her dorm without hesitation. She couldn’t remember why, but the two got into a fight under the tree and ended up walking away in anger…
“Do you still love him?” Ma Linger asked.
Zhao Mengqi’s body trembled a bit, all the memories in her mind will forever remain memories. She laughed in mock and shook her head: “I don’t deserve to love him anymore.”
“Don’t say it like that, maybe you two can still get back together.”
Ma Linger grabbed her hands and said eagerly: “Go find him, maybe he still loves you!”
“No!”
Zhao Mengqi suddenly yelled out uncontrollably and took a step back. As she saw her friend stood there dumbly, her expression began to grow apologetic, “Sorry, I…” She closed her eyes and said painfully, “I was the one that left him in the first place. I didn’t like that he was always just a part-timer, I have no more face to go find him again anymore.”
