"I just want to be alone for a while." Actually, for soone who is not cared about, what does life matter?
Bai Liyan looked at her. "Since you’re already here, would you mind accompanying upstairs?"
Surprised that he would make such a request, Ji Yunhuan did not refuse.
Under the rain curtain, the two of them shared an umbrella. Ji Yunhuan stepped up the stairs in her high heels, one step at a ti.
Before long, Bai Liyan stopped. Ji Yunhuan stood behind him, her gaze falling on the tombstone. When she saw the photo, her eyes hardened. "Why is it him?"
Bai Liyan turned to glance at Ji Yunhuan and saw her face turning pale and stiff with a hint of surprise in her eyes. He asked in a low voice, "What, do you recognize him?"
Seeing soone she knew, Ji Yunhuan felt a pang in her heart. "I didn’t know his grave was here."
"He would be very happy to see you here," Bai Liyan said, looking at the photo on the tombstone. The man in the picture was handso and elegant, with clear eyes and a warm smile.
He was always the most cheerful among friends.
Ji Yunhuan looked at Bai Liyan. "You actually know him."
"What’s so surprising about that? He was a mutual friend of Qi Cheng and ," Bai Liyan said indifferently.
Ji Yunhuan looked at Bai Liyan in disbelief. "Are you sure?"
Su Molang once liked her, but in the end, she married Qi Cheng. What a coincidence, right?
Her astonishnt did not surprise Bai Liyan at all. "It seems Su Molang never ntioned his identity to you."
Ji Yunhuan’s eyes dimd. "He only told he was a student at A City University. He never ntioned anything else."
Who would have thought he had such a good relationship with Qi Cheng and Bai Liyan?
"If you’d known earlier how close he was to us, would you have regretted rejecting him, Ms. Ji?" Bai Liyan had an unmistakable sarcasm in his eyes.
Ji Yunhuan could feel his mockery.
"Why does Dr. Bai ask such a question?"
"Don’t tell you didn’t know Su Molang liked you," Bai Liyan stated directly.
"He told ."
"But you rejected him."
"At that ti, I was already engaged to Gu Yubai. Shouldn’t I have rejected him?" To Ji Yunhuan, Su Molang was just one of the many suitors. She rejected him, simply out of her principle. It had nothing to do with his identity, right?
With so many n chasing her, she couldn’t accept each one, could she?
Bai Liyan looked at Ji Yunhuan. "Did you know he had a car accident on his way back to celebrate your birthday?"
Ji Yunhuan stiffened, looking at Bai Liyan in surprise. "That’s impossible!"
She heard much later that Su Molang had passed away.
When she learned about it, she always felt very regretful.
In her eyes, he was always a good person, like a friend, and also like a brother.
She never thought that Su Molang’s death was because of her.
Bai Liyan said, "Su Molang loved you deeply. We all knew that. It’s hard to imagine which woman wouldn’t refuse a man like him."
"So, you think I rejected him because of his identity?" Ji Yunhuan found it laughable.
"Maybe not!" Seeing her reaction, it didn’t seem like it, but it didn’t change the fact that Su Molang died because of her. Bai Liyan said, "Perhaps you think this matter has nothing to do with you, but without you, he would have been living abroad comfortably and not died on the way to see you. All these years, you never cared about his affairs. Right?"
"We weren’t that close. I only heard about his accident later by chance."
She didn’t even know his grave was here.
"So, you never liked him, did you?" Bai Liyan’s eyes were cold.
Ji Yunhuan sensed a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Do you know? From the first ti I saw you, I disliked you because you hard Su Molang and then ca to harm Qi Cheng. Because of you, Qi Cheng almost ended up like Su Molang, so I was very angry." Bai Liyan said, walking towards her.
His words felt like a heavy judgnt, suffocating her.
Ji Yunhuan lowered her eyelids. She hadn’t expected to hear such unfortunate news upon coming here.
Bai Liyan stopped in front of her. "Do you want to know why Su Zi hates you so much? Because she’s Su Molang’s sister."
Ji Yunhuan took a step back.
From the first ti she t her, Su Zi had shown blatant disdain and even almost hurt Chenchen because of her.
She never knew any of this.
But now...
The Bai Liyan in front of her was not as gentle as usual. There was a trace of coldness in his eyes. She couldn’t help but ask, "What about Qi Cheng? You all despise so much. What about Qi Cheng? Why did he marry ?"
After asking, she suddenly rembered that Qi Cheng also disliked her when they first t.
He disliked her while helping her at the sa ti. She never understood. So, it was because of this?
Because she was the woman his best friend liked.
So, this was also why he never touched her?
So, he married her out of sympathy for his friend’s sake?
It seed possible.
But wouldn’t that be ridiculous?
What did marriage even an in his eyes?
Bai Liyan did not answer her question.
At this mont, if he revealed everything Qi Cheng had done, it would hurt not only her but also Qi Cheng. He didn’t care whether Ji Yunhuan felt sad but considered Qi Cheng’s feelings.
Bai Liyan said, "Do you understand now why Su Zi hates you? Do you believe she’s not a bad girl? Her hurtful actions are because she directs her hatred for you at Chenchen. I don’t want your forgiveness, but she’s not a bad girl. She loves her brother the sa way you love Chenchen."
"Are you lying to ?" Her eyes were filled with indescribable sorrow.
"Lying to you?" Bai Liyan said, "There’s no need."
Ji Yunhuan looked at Su Molang on the tombstone, then turned around. She only thought that Qi Cheng almost died because of her and never knew soone had already died because of her.
Even though...
Even though, speaking of it, she did nothing wrong. But it didn’t change the fact that Su Molang had an accident because of her.
Watching her frantically run away, Bai Liyan’s gaze fell on Su Molang. The smile in the photo remained bright. Bai Liyan realized his own loss of composure.
These days, Qi Cheng had driven him mad.
He looked at Su Molang, raised the corner of his mouth, and said, "If it were you, seeing her in such pain would surely make you angry, right?"
Just like that, both he and Qi Cheng had indulged Ji Yunhuan a bit more.
In dire situations, they always treated her better for Su Molang’s sake.
