Chapter 266: Chapter 258: Really Not the Least Bit Interested 2
"..."
Fang Jingyi’s expression changed over and over, looked around, her brow pressed with anger, and she whispered, "I really don’t understand how a woman like you could be liked by Mo Chen."
Jin Jumo said nothing.
"Let me tell you, don’t think that just because Mo Chen and Lingyi canceled their engagement, you can marry into the Rong Family..."
"Ms. Fang, you misunderstand. I don’t know if others want to marry into the Rong Family, but I really have no interest in it.
Whether you want to warn or threaten, it’s not necessary with me. I’m sorry, Ms. Fang, I really have other things to attend to. Excuse me."
Jin Jumo finished speaking slowly and orderly, pulled her hand out with a little force, and turned to leave.
Fang Jingyi stared at Jin Jumo’s calmly indifferent back, placing one hand over her lung, only feeling that she was so angry it hurt!
Just as Gu Lingyi came out with a puzzled expression, Jin Jumo’s figure disappeared around the corner.
Meanwhile, Fang Jingyi was clutching her lung, her face flushed with rage, glaring in the direction Jin Jumo had left, bending over, unable to stand up straight.
Gu Lingyi’s eyes flashed quickly, hurried forward to support Fang Jingyi’s arm, nervously asking, "Auntie, what’s wrong?"
Fang Jingyi frowned tightly, reversed and held Gu Lingyi’s arm, took a few deep breaths, and said softly, "Auntie is fine."
"Just now, I heard voices in the ward, did Auntie meet someone?" Gu Lingyi asked puzzled.
Fang Jingyi’s face, as it began to relax, tightened again, and she scorned, "An unscrupulous shameless woman, not worth mentioning."
Gu Lingyi glanced at Fang Jingyi’s face, twisted with anger, smirked slightly, quickly regained composure, and obediently supported Fang Jingyi, saying, "Auntie, let me help you inside."
Fang Jingyi took another deep breath, patted Gu Lingyi’s hand back, allowing her to lead the way into the ward.
"Jingyi, you’re here."
As soon as Fang Jingyi entered, Liang Yi struggled to prop herself up from the hospital bed to sit up.
Fang Jingyi shook her head, walked quickly, and held her hand, "In this state, what’s the use of exerting yourself so hard?"
Liang Yi smiled at her, "I’m already fine."
"Look at your poor complexion, and you’re still saying you’re fine."
Fang Jingyi said, sitting on the edge of her bed, looking at her worriedly.
Four years ago, Fang Jingyi and Liang Yi happened to go to the same beauty salon. Interacting frequently, and thanks to Liang Yi’s social skills, they gradually became good friends, often meeting for shopping and beauty treatments privately.
Due to this fondness, Fang Jingyi especially liked Liang Yi’s daughter Gu Lingyi, although occasionally she still felt a bit dazed seeing Gu Lingyi’s face.
"By the way, when I was coming earlier, I met someone at the door, were they here to see you?" Fang Jingyi asked, feigning casualness.
"No."
Liang Yi looked puzzled, "No one has come to see me."
Fang Jingyi’s eyes flashed lightly, "I was just asking."
Liang Yi glanced at Gu Lingyi.
Gu Lingyi understood immediately, poured a cup of hot water for Fang Jingyi, "Auntie, have some water."
Fang Jingyi looked at Gu Lingyi lovingly, nodding, "Okay."
Seeing Fang Jingyi drink the water, Gu Lingyi proactively took the cup, placed it on the bedside table, walked over to Fang Jingyi and reached out, "Auntie, you don’t seem to be in a good state, have you not been resting well lately?"
Saying this, Gu Lingyi reached out to massage Fang Jingyi’s temples.
Fang Jingyi closed her eyes comfortably, her face showing a complex expression.
"What’s the matter?" Liang Yi asked considerately, her pale face full of concerns.
"..."
Fang Jingyi squeezed her hand, "In your condition, I really shouldn’t tell you about my troubles, but if I don’t, there’s no one else I trust to talk to."
Liang Yi understandingly said, "Who else but me would you tell? Tell me, what’s been bothering you so much?"
Fang Jingyi was slightly silent, then opened up, "It’s all because of that barren woman causing trouble."
"Ruan Ruan?" Liang Yi questioned, "What happened with her?"
"Humph."
Fang Jingyi snorted coldly, "Among the three unfilial acts, having no descendants is the greatest. After she miscarried four years ago, she became infertile. I had originally planned not to be too harsh, for Sinan’s sake.
But I recently found out that the child she accidentally lost four years ago wasn’t Sinan’s at all. That shameless woman!"
These last few words were uttered by Fang Jingyi with gritted teeth.
Liang Yi’s eyelid twitched, equally shocked, exchanged a glance with the similarly stunned Gu Lingyi, then looked at Fang Jingyi, saying, "How did you find out the child she was carrying wasn’t Sinan’s?"
"This is something the old man himself told me. Think about it, what kind of person is the old man? Would he make such claims without any evidence?
When I first heard about this news, describing my feeling as being struck by lightning wouldn’t be an exaggeration." Fang Jingyi said with hatred.
"My God." Liang Yi exclaimed, her face full of disbelief, "Ruan... Miss Tang usually seems so refined and gentle, I never thought she would do something so disgraceful."
"Hmph." Fang Jingyi sneered coldly, "This kind of woman is the most obnoxious! Now that her Tang Family is in trouble, she has repeatedly begged me for help. I had already softened my heart and discussed helping her with the old man. That’s when the old man couldn’t help but tell me this incident. Now, I want nothing more than to skin her, and she still expects me to help her, it’s simply laughable!"
"What about Si Nan, did he know about this?" Liang Yi asked.
The hatred in Fang Jingyi’s eyes immediately turned into deep affection, and her tone dropped, "How dare I tell Si Nan about this, how can I tell Si Nan?
Tang Ruan is already infertile, and Si Nan is still unwilling to divorce her. Si Nan, he is so unlucky to fall in love with such a woman!"
Liang Yi held her hand, "Having a mother like you to think of him is Si Nan’s blessing."
"If Si Nan knows that the child Tang Ruan was pregnant with wasn’t his, I’m afraid he would go mad!"
As Fang Jingyi spoke, she wiped her tears.
Gu Lingyi silently listened, without interrupting, only with a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes from time to time.
Both Rong Sinan and Rong Mochen are her own flesh and blood, but she never heard a word of concern for Rong Mochen from her mouth.
She just couldn’t understand, Rong Mochen was better than her crippled son in every way, how could her heart be so biased!?
"I know you’re worried about Si Nan not being able to handle the blow, but the paper can’t cover the fire. We can’t keep it from him forever, right?" Liang Yi sighed.
"It doesn’t matter, just take one step at a time. Anyway, for now, I don’t dare let him know." Fang Jingyi said while wiping her tears.
Liang Yi fell into a brief silence, "That’s all we can do now."
"I saw on the news that you and Lingyi’s father have been at odds recently, and the reason you’re having such thoughts is because you were forced.
What exactly is forcing you to the point where you don’t even cherish your own life?" Fang Jingyi finally remembered to inquire about the reason behind Liang Yi’s sudden ’suicide.’
Liang Yi’s expression darkened, only shaking her head lightly, seemingly unwilling to say.
"Are you still hiding it from me? You’ve been rescued now, have you thought about the future? If things between you and Lingyi’s father aren’t resolved, will you continue resorting to suicide?" Fang Jingyi said.
Liang Yi frowned, looking at Fang Jingyi with hesitation.
Fang Jingyi squinted, "What’s going on?"
"...I did something bad." Liang Yi said.
"What did you do?" Fang Jingyi asked in confusion.
Liang Yi looked at Fang Jingyi with a mix of shame and worry, "I’m afraid if I tell you, you’ll certainly blame me, perhaps even disdain me."
Fang Jingyi was taken aback, staring at Liang Yi, "What’s the matter?"
Liang Yi compassionately lifted her gaze, looking at Gu Lingyi who stood behind Fang Jingyi.
Fang Jingyi pursed her lips, suspiciously turned to look.
She saw Gu Lingyi’s eyes were red, and she seemed about to cry.
Fang Jingyi was startled and turned to hold Gu Lingyi’s hand. As soon as her palm touched her hand, she drew a sharp breath, "Lingyi, why are your hands so cold?"
Gu Lingyi’s tears suddenly fell, "Aunt, my mommy did it all for me..."
"..." Fang Jingyi’s eyes grew even more puzzled.
"Earlier I returned to S City on my own to find Brother Mo Chen, expecting he would be very happy to see me, but he left me alone at the airport. I realized then that Brother Mo Chen had changed towards me.
By chance, I saw Brother Mo Chen with a woman who looked very similar to me... it was then I realized that the reason Brother Mo Chen treated me differently was that I had a face similar to that woman’s.
Despite this, I couldn’t bring myself to let go of Brother Mo Chen. When my mommy learned about this, she rushed over from Z City.
My mommy couldn’t bear to see me sad, so she came up with a plan. We found where that woman lived, trying to negotiate with her to leave Brother Mo Chen.
My mommy gave her thirty million, but she was not satisfied. Then somehow, while we were at a standstill, Brother Mo Chen appeared.
Brother Mo Chen only saw my mommy giving her money, but didn’t see the woman’s greed. Brother Mo Chen was very angry and announced the cancellation of my engagement with him on the spot."
"It’s my fault, I should never have made such a bad decision that harmed Yiyi. Mochen was right to hold a press conference canceling his engagement with Yiyi after returning, since it was I who made the mistake. But..."
Liang Yi choked up, her eyes teary with grievance, "But, I don’t know who Yiyi offended. During the press conference, she was slandered terribly...
Lately, those rumors have gotten worse and worse, reporters are swarming Yiyi every day. Yiyi hardly dares to leave the house, suffers from insomnia night after night, and cries whenever she’s awake. It pains me to watch, and I regret it deeply.
Yiyi’s father was furious when he found out that I was caught by Mochen offering money to that woman, saying I ruined Yiyi. I’m extremely upset, feeling more and more guilty about Yiyi, so..."
Liang Yi covered her mouth with the back of her hand, crying in sorrow.
Seeing both Liang Yi and Gu Lingyi crying, Fang Jingyi began to shed her doubts and grievances held against Gu Lingyi due to the words spoken by the reporter at the press conference. Hearing their story, those doubts vanished.
With some sympathy, Fang Jingyi held one of each of Liang Yi and Gu Lingyi’s hands, saying, "Although what you did was wrong, you did it for Lingyi and Mochen’s future. Lingyi’s father really shouldn’t blame you like this."
