Chapter 65 - The Scheming Woman and the Spare Man
Chapter 65: The Scheming Woman and the Spare Man (1)
Once upon a time, Lu Qingxin had called her “elder sister” in the same way.
And she foolishly believed that Lu Qingxin was her younger sister.
But what happened in the end…
On the night of Lu Qingxin and Gu Yancheng’s engagement banquet, a most baffling situation occurred—Gu Yancheng and Lu Qingxin’s sister were involved with each other, an illicit affair.
Quietly enduring all the pain and agony, Lu Qingxin pushed Gu Yancheng to her sister.
At that time, in her heart, all she could feel was endless guilt of what she had done to Lu Qingxin.
She did her best to comply with all of Lu Qingxin’s demands.
She put up with all the times when Lu Qingxin simply appeared before Gu Yancheng anytime she pleased, cloyingly calling him “Brother Yancheng”.
At that time, she did not understand.
But now, she did.
Lu Qingxin was never in love with Gu Yancheng.
To Lu Qingxin, Gu Yancheng was just a man who was nothing more than a spare that she might have a use for in the future.
If Lu Qingxin found a man she loved deeply, Gu Yancheng would be a burden to her. She was unwilling to be the one to initiate breaking off the engagement. Instead, she used Tianxin, put her on the front line as a pawn and as a shield.
It was only when she, Lu Qingxin, got herself all bruised and battered by other men that she came to realize what a good man Gu Yancheng was.
After understanding everything, she, Ye Tianxin, became Lu Qingxin’s confidante.
“Sister…”
Lu Qingxin was crying so bad.
In front of Li Qingcang, she cried hard that she couldn’t utter a word.
Tears ran down her fair face as she looked at Li Qingcang with red eyes.
Gu Yancheng saw the situation and jumped to Lu Qingxin’s defense right away, “Ye Tianxin, you are just like your mother. Both of you are experts in exploiting your beauty.”
What was going on between Ye Linlang and Lu Jijun in the first place?
Ye Tianxin herself was clueless about it.
But this did not mean that Ye Tianxin would just take Gu Yancheng’s insult quietly.
She walked up to Gu Yancheng, raised her arm, and slapped Gu Yancheng’s handsome face.
“Get lost.”
Ye Tianxin felt that this was all ridiculous, totally absurd.
She had once, only once, fallen in love with Gu Yancheng.
Even if she was afraid that Gu Yancheng might be verbally violent against her, she would still endure everything.
Even if she and Gu Yancheng got involved in an illicit affair in the past and, thereafter, connected by an estranged marriage, she would still take everything upon herself. She did not blame Gu Yancheng.
She acknowledged her mistake and was remorseful.
She admitted to robbing Lu Qingxin and Gu Yancheng of what could have been a blissful and happy future.
She also hoped that in the future, when she had matured, Gu Yancheng would see her merits.
It was only after everything that had happened did Ye Tianxin finally understood that in this love triangle—her, Gu Yancheng, and Lu Qingxin—she had always been the ultimate loser.
Even if she was hit by a car and her body was badly injured, the person that Gu Yancheng would hold in his arms would still be Lu Qingxin and not her.
“Sister, why did you do that? How could you?” Lu Qingxin exclaimed, then turned to Gu Yancheng. “Brother Yancheng, does it hurt?”
In Li Qingcang’s life, he had only shown patience to two women: one was Mother Li and the other was Li Xingchen.
And now, there was Ye Tianxin.
While Lu Qingxin was concerned about whether Gu Yancheng’s face hurt or not, Li Qingcang was only worried if Ye Tianxin’s hand hurt from hitting someone else.
“Tianxin, I hope your hand doesn’t hurt. It must have been painful to hit a face so thick like that.”
Lu Qingxin heard what Li Qingcang said and felt bad for Gu Yancheng. In her sweet voice, she spoke again, “Brother Yancheng, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I should not have let you follow me here. It’s all because of me that you are being…”
At this point, Gu Yancheng’s heart was filled with happiness and gratitude. Fortunately, he came. If he did not come, could a delicate, rich, and beautiful lady like Lu Qingxin actually be able to deal with such an unreasonable country girl?
