A deadly silence spread down the corridor.
Lu Zishu was stunned and surprised.
Ying Jing was stunned on the spot. In reality, she had already prepared a big show in her mind.
She had to purse her lips to prevent herself from letting out too many giggles.
If a person had a tail, the one that belonged to her would probably have spiraled into the sky by now.
She gritted her teeth and tried not to giggle too loudly. She was a goddess. She still needed to maintain her image.
Be mindful of what you say and do in public.
But Wen Fucheng called her his wife. She was about to lose her grip and couldn't wait to chase Lu Zishu away.
"You. Is there anything else?"
Lu Zishu looked at her with a resentful gaze, making her look like a scumbag.
She didn't think she did anything to him! They parted on good terms. What needed to be said was discussed and cleared up at the clubhouse by then.
"You…"
Lu Zishu didn't know what was wrong with him. Every time he saw Ying Jing, his gaze would subconsciously follow her.
Especially when he learned from Jiang Li that she would actually do such a thing for him.
Although it was very disrespectful to her own life, she must have liked him a lot to kill herself for him.
It would be a lie to say that nothing stirred. He just did not expect that the current situation would lead to her avoidance of him.
She was probably embarrassed and he wanted to help. However, before he could appear, Ying Jing had taken the initiative to resolve it.
He'd always known how strong she was, and she'd never allowed himself to suffer too much in the face of things.
Lu Zishu was not happy at all. Seeing Ying Jing walking out, he couldn't help but follow. He heard her answer the phone. It was a happy tone he had never heard before.
He couldn't help feeling curious.
"Ying Jing, did you really like me? I'm not asking about now." It was the past… the past. It was the time when countless people mentioned to him that Ying Jing liked Lu Zishu. Everyone knew that Ying Jing liked Lu Zishu.
Her patronizing was vivid in his mind.
If she didn't like him, why did she bother to pursue him? She had been so kind to him when he had clearly refused countless times. Who was it that refused to give up until death?
"Why?" He took a step forward, toward her.
Instantly closing the distance between them.
"Why did you stop chasing halfway?"
Ying Jing retreated as he approached.
"After I started to develop feelings for you, you said you didn't like me anymore. Are your feelings so worthless? You can even shift your love to someone else so quickly. Or are you just saying you love me with some kind of purpose? Now that you've achieved your goal, you can leave just like that. What about me… How should I face it? I'm clearly the victim of this relationship."
In the past, she hadn't expected him to tell her everything.
Now, what an expression.
Was she frightened by him? Compared to the aggressive Lu Zishu, Ying Jing him to be cold and indifferent.
She wasn't Lu Zishu's matchmaker.
In her previous life, the two of them fought to the death. Lu Zishu didn't even blink when he wanted to destroy her.
She was also very tired from being forced to plot! The male and female leads should keep to themselves and live happily ever after.
She was shocked by Lu Zishu's sudden confession. This was not the right direction for the plot.
Alright! As a vicious supporting actress, she had started to let herself go. The female lead of the original novel had taken a fancy to her brother, and it seemed reasonable for the male lead of the original novel to start to mess up.
But he should not fall in love with her!
She had been traumatized by Lu Zishu her entire life. It was fine if she didn't see him, but when she saw him, she wanted to throw a bomb at him and kill him.
After all, she was indeed involved in this matter. She was unlucky enough to be forced to walk around the original plot.
She was the one who chased after him. She was the one who was going to die. She was still the one making a scene.
There was nothing wrong with Lu Zishu, and nothing wrong with her.
Alright, in order to be with Wen Fusheng in this lifetime, she would bite the bullet.
"It's a bit irresponsible, but I'd say you're not wrong in your understanding. I've never liked you all this time."
His shock was followed by intense anger.
"Have you been playing me all this time?"
"You can't say that! I've given a lot too, okay? You can't erase everything I've done just because I don't like you." Other than not liking him, what Ying Jing had been forced to give was true.
And then there was her reputation.
Lu Zishu's countless rejections also made her face countless sneers.
"At the end of the day, I'm the one who lost more. I didn't even say anything, so who are you to question me now?" Oh, right. Why did she have to be so humble? Why did she have to compromise?
She was an honest person. When she chased after Lu Zishu, she did not let the heavens down. From beginning to end she was like a clown.
"Lu Zishu, don't you think you're very fake? I've been chasing you for several years, causing everyone to know and the entire city to be in an uproar. In the past few years, you've had countless chances to accept me, but you used them all to reject me. Now that I'm not chasing you anymore, you're actually not used to it. You came to tell me that you're starting to have feelings for me. When I was chasing after you, you didn't cherish it. When you can't get it, you start to itch. What you enjoy is the feeling of being pursued by me."
Now that she wasn't willing to chase him, he experienced the difference.
Ying Jing calmed down and continued.
"Yes, I admit it. I started all of this on my own initiative, and I'm willing to take all the consequences. But you, Lu Zishu, are the one who has the least right to criticize me. Didn't you indirectly bring me the gossip I'm in now? You're the one who should feel most relaxed when I don't like you anymore. No one will ever pester you again, and your life will return to its peaceful past. I'm willing to lower my head and apologize for all the troubles caused when I barged into your life. I'm sorry. I also paid the price for my impulsiveness."
The price was high.
With life, with love, with the entire Ying family and her brother's future…
Ying Jing couldn't face Lu Zishu calmly.
Even though she knew everything was a plot.
She, who had been reborn, had never really taken revenge on any enemies in her previous life.
In this life, she was careful. All she wanted was to get close to her lover and protect her brother.
She just wanted to live her life happily.
As long as people didn't offend her, she didn't want to argue about anything.
"I hope we can both can pick up the pieces and let go."
Ying Jing did not intend to stay any longer. The exit was behind Lu Zishu.
She walked past him.
Lu Zishu looked ahead with a dark expression.
The words were meant for her.
"Too late."
Ying Jing turned a deaf ear and continued walking.
Lu Zishu slowly turned around and watched her walk away.
"If you don't like me, you should not have provoked me. After you have provoked me, you won't be responsible. If this pool is muddy, what right do you have to leave clean?"
Ying Jing stopped in her tracks. He had returned to the Lu family. There was already news about it, and she believed that it would be announced to the world soon.
Perhaps the era that belonged to him, Lu Zishu, was about to begin.
But so what?
Ying Jing smiled.
If fate was joking with her, she would not be able to avoid the confrontation in her previous life.
Then… everyone would have to suffer!
