Dropped out…

These two words were like lightning that struck her.

Xiang Wan’s face was now colorless like paper. She even looked a little worse than Ye Lun.

Her eyes were fixed on Ye Lun like hooks. The mist beneath her eyes betrayed her current emotion which was captured accurately by Ye Lun.

It was clear that she didn’t want to talk about it.

She didn’t even want to recall that incident.

Ye Lun smiled, even though it was tedious for him.

Yes, he was smiling, always smiling.

Although he was about to die, he didn’t forget to laugh and mock at another’s misfortune.

This was Ye Lun, a man who could make others hate him.

“What do you know?” Xiang Wan said each and every word clearly, unable to conceal her troubled feelings.

Ye Lun’s eyes were half-opened and his lips twitched. His gaze slowly moved to her mobile phone.

He had a lot of difficulty with his every action but every word could make her feel even more pain.

“Are you sure, you want to continue, recording the video?”

Her voice eluded her.

Should she continue?

The hand that she was holding her mobile phone with was not quite steady. The blood in her seemed to be boiling. Her body temperature increased and she felt her cheeks burning, all the way to her ears…

This atrocious person!

How did he know about this?

Why?

Xiang Wan couldn’t think of how Ye Lun managed to know… so much.

Whether it was Cui Ming, Bai Muchuan, Xie Wanwan, as well as herself, and many more.

All of their personal matters and secrets were transparent before Ye Lun.

Xiang Wan couldn’t help but recall the scene when she met Ye Lun for the first time at the ‘Palace’.

Right, another time.

After countless times of playing the exact same scene.

She had thought about this scene numerous times.

Ye Lun’s devilish smile with an evil aura had been interpreted by her with all kinds of possibilities.

But this time, she had a new finding. His smile at that time actually contained the mocking of her past when she dropped out of college.

“Ye Lun, did I know you back then? No, did you know me back then?”

Ye Lun shook his head slightly.

“Then how did you… why?”

“I… know everything about you.” Ye Lun’s words started to sound muffled. However, he was ecstatic, seeing Xiang Wan in such a poor mood. Although he couldn’t say a complete sentence in one go, his tone actually sounded joyful.

“… Xiang Wan, you, couldn’t hold a candle… to Xie Wanwan.”

“Both of you… are called… Wanwan, with the same pronunciation. But she’s… far better!”

It seemed that he said that deliberately to make Xiang Wan feel inferior.

He even used a disdainful and derogatory tone.

“That… flash drive. It contained what you… were looking for… back then. If you’re still interested, you can… watch it together… with Bai Muchuan…”

Xiang Wan looked at him motionlessly and emotionlessly.

“Do you think I don’t dare to?”

Ye Lun blinked weakly. “You may… or may not. When a person is unfortunate, he will be daring enough. But when a person gains happiness… then, he wouldn’t be daring. He would be… reluctant to let go.”

Xiang Wan kept quiet.

A while later, she finally spoke in a calm tone, “Back then, I didn’t have the guts like Xie Wanwan. But now, I have it.”

“Hurhur! Hurhurhur…”

Ye Lun laughed at her response.

He had been laughing like this the whole time.

He seemed to be mocking the whole world but himself.
