Chapter 31: 031 Very different

Views:

I never thought that I would hate Zhao Yicheng so much one day. I thought that even if we were divorced, I would not say such words to him, but the fact is that I called him a bitch and ridiculed him as a bastard.

At first, Zhao Yicheng was shocked and unbelievable, but now he seems to have gotten used to it. He looked at me with displeasure: "Shen Jiaying, I'm telling you seriously, can you please stop mocking people all the time? You... Why have you become like this now?"

"What I become is my own business and has nothing to do with you, Zhao Yicheng! If you don't like it, just leave. The gate is there, goodbye!" I pointed at the closed iron gate and angrily ordered him to leave.

Zhao Yicheng didn't say anything or move, he just stared at me, which made me feel uncomfortable. After a long while, he slowly spoke, pretending to be doing good for me: "Yes! I did something wrong to you, but I don't want you to push yourself into the fire pit! Who is Feng Zhenyang? I know him better than you. Do you know how many despicable things he did secretly..."

"You know nothing!" Before Zhao Yicheng could finish his next words, I interrupted him angrily. I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen anyone as shameless as this!

He seems harmless, but he is actually very scheming and good at deceiving people. I don't know what kind of magic potion he put into my parents. He cheated on me and had a mistress, but my parents actually asked me to forgive him. If this continues, I'm really worried that my mother will threaten to commit suicide, and my father will jump into the river with a pillow to force me to remarry Zhao Yicheng.

In more serious cases, my father might even go to Feng Zhenyang's house and beat him up. Haha, Feng Zhenyang destroyed my marriage. Only Zhao Yicheng could say such a thing that turned black into white.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. The more I looked at Zhao Yicheng, the more I wanted to beat him up. But I couldn't beat him up. I could only stare at him intently, shaking with anger.

After clenching my fists for a long time, I finally suppressed the urge to beat someone up. With a cold face, I said, "You just want to turn things around, don't you? I can help you. Can you stop being so hypocritical?"

Maybe it was because I was once heartbroken by Zhao Yicheng, but now I couldn’t believe every word he said, especially when he said he loved me, which sounded nothing but falsehood and mockery to me.

"Is that how you look at me?" Zhao Yicheng's eyes seemed to be filled with loss and sadness, but I didn't know if he was really sad or just pretending. Once a person has been betrayed, he will no longer be trusted, just like the protagonist of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".

I hate Zhao Yicheng playing tricks in front of my parents. I hate him for using me to turn things around. But, seeing that look in his eyes, I actually felt sad. However, although I felt sad in my heart, I said mercilessly: "Then how do you want me to see you?"

My voice was cold, and it seemed to get even colder as the snow fell. I thought this coldness was enough to cool Zhao Yicheng's ambition to use me to turn things around.

"Yes! That's right! I just want to use you to turn things around! I am such a despicable person!" Zhao Yicheng's voice was cold, his smile was bitter, and there was a bit of viciousness.

I don't know if it was my illusion, but at that moment, I seemed to see myself a long time ago. At that time, Zhao Yicheng said that I was vicious, and I simply admitted that I was vicious. But that was because I loved him, and I said that because I was heartbroken. But what about him? What was he doing for? The so-called love? Haha... I won't believe it. In this life, I will never believe Zhao Yicheng again.

Maybe he was hurt by my words, or maybe he felt that there was no hope of turning the tables by using me, Zhao Yicheng didn't say anything more, turned back to his room, said a few words to his parents, and then left with his luggage.

Looking at Zhao Yicheng's back gradually disappearing in the heavy snow, I couldn't tell whether I was happy or sad, I just felt... relieved. I stood in the yard for a long time... I thought that Zhao Yicheng and I would never have any entanglement in this life. However, I forgot that we are both in the entertainment industry, and no matter how we avoid each other, we are bound to meet.

Actually, meeting Zhao Yicheng was nothing. I was more worried that my parents would scold me endlessly. As night fell, I sat at the dinner table, facing my parents with serious faces, and I was very uneasy. I didn't know what my parents would say next.

In order to avoid them not giving me a chance to explain, I stammered and explained before they could speak: "Dad... Mom... that matter... was just nonsense made up by Feng Zhenyang. He didn't mean any other purpose. He just wanted to help me and said that on purpose to make Zhao Yicheng give up! Also, no matter what, I will never remarry Zhao Yicheng!"

Before I said this, I had already prepared for the worst, including being scolded by my father, or even having hot soup thrown on me. I raised my head in fear, and I knew without thinking how ugly my father's face was.

"If you don't want to remarry, then don't remarry. Just stay away from that guy from the Feng family. He can say such things casually, which shows that he is not a good person! None of them in the Feng family are good people!"

I was a little surprised by my father's attitude. I originally thought that he would teach me a lesson with his pedantic and feudal ideas. However, apart from criticizing the Feng family, he downplayed the matter between Zhao Yicheng and me, which was very different from his previous attitude. This made me very strange, and his prejudice against the Feng family also confused me for many years.

My father has been dissatisfied with the Feng family for a long time. I have asked him the reason many times, but he always avoided talking about it or got angry with me. So... I opened my mouth and wanted to ask him, but I didn't ask in the end. I just hope that my family can have an ordinary New Year.

The days of reunion with family are always especially short, peaceful and simple. Before the New Year was over, I received a call from my high school class monitor, saying that there was a class reunion at the Jianfeng Hotel in Qinghe City.

I don't really like class reunions. They say it's for bonding, but in reality it's just for comparison. The last time I had a class reunion was six or seven years ago, and I was bullied by those bastards. At that time, I was neither very active nor very successful, barely able to fill my stomach, so there were those who encouraged me, and those who mocked me. Those who were worse off than me were envious and jealous.

This time, I don’t know what will happen. After all, my divorce with Zhao Yicheng is something worth gossiping about. The scandal between me and Feng Zhenyang is also a joke for them after dinner.

Compared with the past, Jianfeng Hotel has changed a lot. The only thing that has not changed is the unique British retro style. In today's society, holding a class reunion is like playing a palace fight, which is even more exciting than the peripheral girl getting the upper hand.

"Feng Zhenyang, I heard that Shen Jiaying's husband abandoned her because he had a mistress, is that right?" Just after entering the room, he heard something he shouldn't have heard. The woman teased, "Oh, why is Shen Jiaying so pitiful! Your entertainment industry is so complicated! But... she wants a divorce, so you have a chance!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Feng Zhenyang interrupted the woman.

"Who is talking nonsense! Everyone in our class knows that you like Shen Jiaying!" The person who took over the conversation was Feng Zhenyang's good friend from high school, and also his good friend now, Lin Zhiquan. Lin Zhiquan is good in every way except that he has a big mouth.

From a distance, I could hear Lin Zhiquan's gossipy voice: "And that Zhao Yicheng, Shen Jiaying's ex-husband, you said he was the one who let Shen Jiaying down, not you, so why did you want to ban him? He's almost unable to make it in the entertainment industry! If you didn't like Shen Jiaying, could you have beaten Zhao Yicheng and his mistress together so that he wouldn't even recognize his father?" (To be continued)
