PNB Chapter 127 I'm nice to you out of guilt
Chapter 127 I'm nice to you out of guilt
Lin Xuan sneered, turned his body to the side, and easily avoided Su Zimo's fist. He was depressed. Since Su Zimo had come to him, he would not show mercy.
The two men started to wrestle with each other instantly. Although Su Zimo and Lin Xuan had similar builds, Su Zimo was usually busy with his acting career and had relatively less time to exercise. Most of the time, he relied on dieting to maintain his figure.
Therefore, in terms of strength, he is obviously inferior to Lin Xuan.
At first, the two were evenly matched, and Su Zimo even mocked Lin Xuan: "Why do you think she chose you back then? Wasn't it because she urgently needed some money to help me terminate my contract?"
"Also, do you know why she treats you so well? Humph, it's just because..."
Lin Xuan didn't respond, but his attacks became increasingly swift and precise. Su Zimo gradually lost his rhythm and was hit several times in a row.
He groaned in pain, his words cut short. Lin Xuan clasped his hands tightly, lifted his collar, and pressed him against the car. "Why? You'd better explain!"
Under the dim light, Lin Xuan's face looked gloomy and terrifying.
Su Zimo licked the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue and looked at Lin Xuan stubbornly: "Why? Don't you know what's going on? She's only being nice to you out of guilt! Do you think she really loves you? Don't dream, Lin Xuan! She won't love you!"
Su Zimo's words were like a sharp dagger, piercing Lin Xuan's heart deeply. Ever since being rejected by Ye Wanqing, he has been forcing himself to look forward.
He originally thought that Ye Wanqing would be shaken by this, but after a few days, she remained calm.
Thinking back to the past six years and those paintings, Lin Xuan didn't understand why Ye Wanqing could change so quickly.
He never thought of divorcing her, even though it was a marriage of convenience at the beginning, but later, he never had this idea.
His indifferent observation was simply because he hated the way she always tried to gain sympathy by looking pitiful. He thought she was hypocritical, selfish and greedy.
However, what was even more difficult for him to accept was that despite being such a "hypocritical, selfish and greedy" woman, he was still unconsciously attracted to her.
He never admitted that he liked Ye Wanqing, nor did he think that Ye Wanqing loved him that much.
But everyone around him told him that Ye Wanqing loved him deeply.
At first, he didn't believe it, but after hearing it many times, he couldn't help but feel a little shaken.
After the divorce, from a bystander's perspective, he became more convinced that Ye Wanqing loved him.
However, that day Ye Wanqing told him so firmly that they were divorced.
He could tell whether she was telling the truth or not.
Now, Su Zimo mentioned this matter again, which was like a handful of salt sprinkled on his already injured wound, reminding him that Ye Wanqing no longer loved him.
Yes, it’s “no longer in love”, not “never loved”.
Lin Xuan still wanted to believe that Ye Wanqing had loved him once.
The anger in his black eyes grew more intense. Lin Xuan released his grip on Su Zimo and threw a punch, but it only landed a heavy blow on the car body next to Su Zimo's cheek.
The wind from the fist lifted Su Zimo's hair, and he looked at Lin Xuan in astonishment. At that moment, he was sure that Lin Xuan's fist was almost touching his face.
Lin Xuan stood up with his fists clenched, his tone full of sarcasm: "What are you so proud of? She doesn't love you either, does she?"
He glanced at Su Zimo with contempt, then turned around, got into his car and drove away.
Su Zimo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and watched Lin Xuan's black Maybach drive away until it disappeared from sight. He angrily kicked the gravel beside him to vent his dissatisfaction.
He couldn't refute Lin Xuan's words.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Jiangcheng was hit by a sudden heavy snowfall.
Ye Wanqing woke up and opened the curtains. The scene before her was like a fairy tale world. The roof opposite was covered with snow, and everything was clad in silver.
In the yard, children and parents were busy making snowmen, the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another, and the air was filled with festive joy.
After half a month of rest, Ye Wanqing's leg injury has improved significantly and she no longer feels pain.
But it will take time to fully recover, and she needs to go to the hospital regularly to change the dressing and re-bandage the fixation. It will take another week before the fixation plate on her leg can be removed.
The snow was falling heavily and the roads became muddy and difficult to travel on.
Ye Wanqing was wearing thick snow boots, leaning on a cane, holding an umbrella in one hand, and walking slowly on the snowy street. Her back looked lonely and pitiful.
Zhao Jinyu initially thought he had mistaken her for someone else, as encountering Ye Wanqing in Jiangcheng was a rare occurrence. However, her unique face immediately confirmed her identity.
He quickened his pace to catch up, walking side by side with Ye Wanqing: "Ye Wanqing? Is that you?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Wanqing was a little surprised. She turned around and saw Zhao Jinyu: "Mr. Zhao? What a coincidence."
I didn't expect to meet you here.
"Happy New Year! Why are you in Jiangcheng?" Zhao Jinyu asked.
Ye Wanqing smiled and responded: "Happy New Year! My hometown is Jiangcheng."
Zhao Jinyu put away his umbrella and took the umbrella from Ye Wanqing: "Where are you going? I'll take you there."
"I plan to go to the hospital in front to change the dressing." Ye Wanqing said.
"I happen to be free, so how about I go with you?" Zhao Jinyu suggested.
Ye Wanqing declined politely, "It's not a good idea to go to the hospital during the New Year. Mr. Zhao should go back and be with his family. It's not far, I can just walk there slowly."
Zhao Jinyu laughed and said, "It was New Year's Day, and I went home alone. I was almost kicked out by my family."
Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, he did feel a lot of pressure this year because of the pressure to get married. He chose to come to Jiangcheng, on the one hand to visit his grandparents, and on the other hand to avoid the blind dates during the New Year.
Ye Wanqing was stunned when she heard this: "Young Master Zhao is from Jiangcheng?"
She remembered that Zhao Jinyu was from South City.
"My mother is from Jiangcheng, and my grandparents live here." Zhao Jinyu explained.
Ye Wanqing suddenly understood. Seeing that he was so insistent, she couldn't refuse any longer: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Zhao."
The hospital wasn't far away, but Ye Wanqing had a hard time walking with a cane and an umbrella. With Zhao Jinyu's help holding the umbrella, her body became much more balanced and walking became easier.
During the Chinese New Year, no one wants to go to the hospital and bring bad luck, so the hospital is sparsely populated with only a few emergency patients.
Ye Wanqing had already registered online, but during the Lunar New Year holiday, the hospital had fewer medical staff on duty. She waited for a while before a nurse came to tend to her wound.
Zhao Jinyu waited at the door like a gentleman, and helped hold Ye Wanqing's crutches and umbrella.
About ten minutes later, Ye Wanqing re-bandaged the wound and walked out.
Zhao Jinyu quickly handed her the crutches: "How is your recovery going?"
"That's great. We can remove the boards next week." Ye Wanqing replied with a smile.
"Congratulations!" said Zhao Jinyu.
Ye Wanqing sighed softly: "But the doctor said that it will take at least one and a half months to walk normally again."
"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Don't worry." Zhao Jinyu comforted.
As they were talking, Zhao Jinyu's phone suddenly rang. Ye Wanqing stopped and let him answer the phone.
