Chapter 85: You Are A Fool
When Shu Pan received the call from Xiaong, she had just finished vomiting, rinsed her mouth, and saw that the caller ID displayed Ye Xiaong’s na. Without hesitation, she answered.
“Xiaong, what’s wrong?” Shu Pan asked uncertainly.
“Mmm.” On the other end, Ye Xiaong replied, her voice sounding faint and devoid of vitality.
“Hey, I’m getting married next Monday. Will you co to the wedding?” Although she was talking about her wedding, Shu Pan couldn’t sense any joy in her tone.
“Xiaong, do you know about Cheng Yang and his childhood friend?” Shu Pan felt that there was no need to conceal it anymore.
Ye Xiaong’s complexion changed on the other side of the phone. “Girl, how do you know?”
“Last ti, when we went to the mall for noodles, I ran into them. But Cheng Yang only introduced her as a sister. However, their interactions seed quite intimate. So, I warned Cheng Yang. I didn’t expect him to escalate things further. Judging from your reaction now, I assu you already know,” Shu Pan said, feeling that she wasn’t good at comforting others, but now that Xiaong knew, would she still hurriedly decide to get married? Was that the right choice?
“He told she’s his sister, a friend. Because she doesn’t have any other family in Bin City, he’s taking care of her. Girl, you don’t understand. We’ve been together for ten years…” Xiaong’s voice choked up, making it difficult for her to continue.
“Xiaong, I understand. There aren’t many decades in a person’s life, but
Cheng Yang has made his stance clear. Does he really just see her as a sister? Aren’t they still connected by their childhood mories?” Shu Pan was worried that Xiaong might suffer even more in the future.
“Girl, I can’t worry about that anymore. Besides, we have a child now. No matter what, I have to give us a chance.” Xiaong’s voice sounded sowhat ethereal, as if she were talking to herself.
“Xiaong, you’re really a fool. But promise , don’t sacrifice yourself.” Shu Pan suddenly felt a surge of compassion for Xiaong. Reality was indeed cruel.
In fairy tales, the prince and Cinderella overca nurous obstacles to be together and live happily ever after. But Xiaong and Cheng Yang had been together for ten years. How many people had envied and admired them during those ten years? Yet in the end, there was no fairy tale ending.
“Stop talking about . Girl, how are you?” Xiaong suddenly changed the topic.
“Well… Xiaong, actually, I got a divorce, and I’m pregnant.” Shu Pan said in a hushed tone.
“What? When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell ? Is the child Gu Shaoting’s?” Ye Xiaong exclaid, feeling a bit overwheld by Shu Pan’s words.
“Don’t get excited, be careful of the child. Yes, the child is Gu Shaoting’s, but I don’t intend to let him know. I will raise the child on my own.” Shu Pan’s tone was resolute.
“Girl, do you think you’re the Virgin Mary? Doing sothing so noble. Raising a child isn’t the sa as raising a cat or a dog. Aren’t you adding unnecessary pressure to yourself?” Ye Xiaong’s tone was strikingly similar to Auntie Lu’s. “I’m very lonely. I want a child as a company. I don’t regret my choice.”
“Sigh, you’re even more foolish than .” Xiaong knew that Shu Pan’s decision wouldn’t easily change.
“This year hasn’t been favorable for the two of us sisters.” Xiaong forced a smile, feeling like they were having a streak of bad luck.
“Xiaong, everything will get better. You have to stay strong. There’s no obstacle that can’t be overco. Oh, by the way, I’m in Lotus Town now, my hotown. I’m no longer in Bin City. If you have so free ti, co over and unwind. The air here is fresh, and the scenery is beautiful.” Shu Pan finally rembered to inform Ye Xiaong about this.
“What else are you keeping from ?” Ye Xiaong couldn’t help but roll her eyes, unable to contain her curiosity..
