Chapter 28 - Whose Heart Is Crying? (5)

“That’s enough, Chen Meimei! I didn’t call you here today to say that!” Fu Bainian suddenly raised his voice.

Lan Jinyao nodded and unhurriedly said, “I know why you called me here today; wasn’t it to make me give my ring and husband to someone else? I know I promised you before, but now, I’ve changed my mind.”

“Why?” Fu Bainian’s brows furrowed, a look of puzzlement plastered on his face.

Lan Jinyao shrugged. “No reason. If the person you liked was someone else, I could do what you wanted. But, when it comes to this woman, I can't help you.”

Lan Jinyao didn’t know where this woman had come from, or why she looked exactly like her previous self. But, these questions weren’t important. The important part to note was that Fu Bainian had said that the person he likes is Lan Jinyao, and this woman was not Lan Jinyao! In this world, she was the one and only Lan Jinyao; no one could ever replace her!

Originally, Lan Jinyao hadn’t intended to behave like this. If the person that Fu Bainian had liked were someone else, she would’ve been willing to help them because her love couldn’t amount to even a fraction of this man’s affections that had spanned several years. However, now, it was different. The person that he’d loved for so long had turned out to be her, and she was now being substituted with someone else!

At this moment, Lan Jinyao was extremely unwilling to help him.

“Chen Meimei, how can you go back on your words?”

Fu Bainian stood up, propped his hands on the table, and towered over Lan Jinyao with a dangerous look in his eyes.

“Haizz, nowadays, men are daring to bring their mistresses to provoke the wives openly. Public morals are degenerating with each passing day!”

“Men are like that, but the women who are mistresses are also too ignorant; without honour or shame. They destroy a person’s family, and yet they still dare to act confidently.”

All could hear the incessant chattering of the people in the cafe. No one was even attempting to be quiet as they were purposely trying to be heard. Seeing that the woman’s expression was changing, Lan Jinyao laughed in her heart.

The woman’s complexion was pale; she looked utterly pitiful. Tightly clenching Fu Bainian’s hand, she asked in a grief-filled voice, “Fu Bainian, didn’t you say that you don’t like her?”

“Well, the reason we got married was my Mother. If possible, I would’ve chosen never to get married at all, but I unexpectedly managed to meet you again.”

Lan Jinyao played with the diamond ring on her finger as she watched this pathetic drama play out in front of her.

“Fu Bainian, as a man, you don’t even have the most basic sense of responsibility. How do you plan on giving happiness to someone you like?” She continued to question him aggressively, “And, since you said that you'd liked Lan Jinyao for years, do you think that, according to Lan Jinyao’s personality, that she would destroy someone’s family?”

Although her words were directed towards Fu Bainian, she was staring at Lan Xin. No matter what this woman was scheming, Lan Jinyao wouldn’t let her succeed.

What’s more, before she’d died, Lan Jinyao had despised those unspoken rules in the entertainment circle, and had loathed those who would use money to benefit themselves; regardless of the hurt that it would bring to someone’s family.

A woman would love someone with her entire heart. If she were to lose her loved one, it would be like they’d lost their whole world. The downside though, was a woman’s morality when compared to love was almost nonexistent.

Her words silenced Fu Bainian.

Perhaps he never thought that Chen Meimei could say such a sentence, or he found it hard to believe. Or, maybe, he was shocked by the meaning of her words.
