To give the Lin family a good impression, he did not let Lin Yuwen pay for it. After replacing his previous car, he took out a loan for this BMW, which was considered a cheaper model for the brand.

Yan Beicheng saw Lin Chu’s bedroom light lit up and turned to see Cheng Ziming about to drive off. Yan Beicheng’s eyes narrowed and he started his car to follow behind.

…

“Who is going to be worried?” Xu Moyan blinked and held on to Lin Chu with shining eyes.

Lin Chu leaned against the windowsill and saw the tail of Yan Beicheng’s car. She turned back to see Xu Moyan with a gossipy look on her face and blushed as she tried to change the topic of conversation, “Why did you go down just now?”

It was not that she wanted to hide this from Xu Moyan but she was too embarrassed to talk about it. Besides, Yan Beicheng’s status was too shocking.

Xu Moyan only laughed at Lin Chu’s attempt at changing the conversation, and said, “Cheng Ziming was here before you came home. I didn’t let him in. He didn’t believe me when I told him you were not home. So, I shouted at him until he left. I was worried that he wouldn’t leave just like that. What if you came home and bumped into him? So, I went downstairs to take a look. If he was still around, I’d call the police. I was afraid you would be there, so I brought along the broom and mop for self-defense.”

Xu Moyan sneered, “That Cheng Ziming is truly shameless. He came all the way to accuse you of destroying his hard work. I have heard about this sort of jerks before but this is the first time I’ve seen one with my own eyes.”

Lin Chu could not help laughing out loud as she shook her head, “Do you know what he said to me just now? He wanted me to go with him to the Lin family to apologize and say that all my words were lies and that I wanted to sabotage him because I hate him.”

“What! I should have whacked him a few more times if I knew! That is so terrible of him!” Xu Moyan said angrily.

“If he didn’t bother me, I wouldn’t have given him this trouble. I don’t what’s going on in his and Lin Yuwen’s heads. We should just live our own lives but they were determined in going out of the way to make me uncomfortable,” Lin Chu shook her head.

“What more is there in their heads? They just want to show off in front of you and build their happiness on the foundation of your sorrow. At the end of it all, you’re not suffering at all and it’s not giving them any satisfaction. They think that they should live better than you, but seeing you going through life well made them unhappy. Which is why this is where you find your advantage. If you want them to stop bothering you, just display a sense of misery in front of them, guaranteed to make them so happy that they won’t be able to sleep at night,” Xu Moyan peeled an orange and passed half to Lin Chu.

“Would they continue coming to me to find their happiness? I do think that they deserve each other. Flocks of a feather should be a family together,” Lin Chu went to the bathroom and said as she put on cleaning foam on her face.

Xu Moyan followed her to the bathroom and leaned at the door. Her arms were crossed at the chest, “Okay, we’ve already changed the subject so now, tell me honestly. Who saw you home? I was worried for you when Cheng Ziming cheated on you but it looks like you’re doing okay. I’m really glad for you but I didn’t think you would start a second relationship so soon!”

Xu Moyan made eyes at her and smiled coyly.

Lin Chu washed her face but didn’t wipe the water off. She wanted to wait for the water on her face to dry naturally and turned towards her bedroom. Xu Moyan followed close behind. She was not about to let Lin Chu get away that easily.

Lin Chu slowly sat in front of the dressing table. Xu Moyan sat on the bed next to it.

Lin Chu sighed. She could not do anything about Xu Moyan. She poured some toner on a piece of cotton pad and dabbed it on her face as she said, “It’s Yan Beicheng.”

Lin Chu illustrated how she met Yan Beicheng, but omitted some parts of it. For example, when she met him for the first time in the men’s restroom, Lin Chu just described it as her walking into the wrong restroom. She did not say that Yan Beicheng had taken off his pants in front of her.

She did not say anything about the improper thing Yan Beicheng did when she was saved by Yan Beicheng at Sheng Yue.

“He does like you, right? It should be real, right? Otherwise, why else…” Xu Moyan did not know how to judge this. She had never been in contact with someone like Yan Beicheng, which was why she did not dare to comment simply. She did often liaise with second-generation rich men, but they were considered poor compared to Yan Beicheng. They would usually have different young models at their side every single day, going in and out of clubs. It was always about having fun. No one would take dating seriously.

Yan Beicheng was at a level so much higher than them. It was very hard to tell if Yan Beicheng was the same. She had no clear understanding of someone like him.

Lin Chu knew Xu Moyan was worried. She shook her head and said, “He’s not a playboy. He does have feelings for me, and I feel the same about him. Much like the reason you gave, he’s way up there. I have never understood someone like him. Even until now, after spending time with him, I don’t feel like this is all happening.”

Xu Moyan patted her shoulders, “If Yan Beicheng is such a good guy, maybe you can be brave and be with him. I understand your worry. There is no such thing as a fairy tale in this world. Us ordinary people cannot afford to play this game. But this matter is in your hands. If you like him, I suggest you give it a try, so you won’t regret it. If he is a good man, you shouldn’t miss out on him. If you take a step back and think about it, you’re only 24 and still young. You have a life ahead of you to take the gamble. If he turns out to be a jerk and you break up, you won’t be wasting your youth either, since you’re still quite young. But if you don’t move forward because you are worried and scared about having a relationship with him, you’ll never know if something will come out of it. You’ll be regretting it in the future. The result might be disastrous, but what if it is a happy ending? You’ll never find out.”

Lin Chu nodded. Her mind was in a mess but she knew that it would be up to her to make the judgment.

Xu Moyan gave a big yawn, “I’m going to sleep. I’ve just touched down today. These few days have been super busy for me.”

“Yes, go to bed now,” Lin Chu was laughing when Wang Jinglin called.

Lin Chu felt a huge pressure at seeing Wang Jinglin’s name. What did Wang Jinglin want from her this time?

“Hello, auntie,” Lin Chu picked up the phone and said casually.

Xu Moyan was about to go to bed but turned back upon hearing this. Lin Chu was an orphan and did not know many elders except for the Lin family, her parents and of course, Cheng Ziming’s parents.

Her parents would never approach Lin Chu on their own. They would reach out to her for any matters, which was why Xu Moyan quickly deduced that the person on the phone was Wang Jinglin.

Lin Chu saw Xu Moyan sat down in front of her again and smiled. She mouthed Wang Jinglin’s name to Xu Moyan.

Xu Moyan nodded. She knew she had got it right.

“Auntie, it’s late now, what can I do for you?” Lin Chu asked coldly.

Wang Jinglin seemed to detect her coldness and was a little embarrassed, “Lin Chu, did I disturb your rest?”

“I was asleep but I didn’t expect auntie to sleep later than me,” Lin Chu said in hopes that Wang Jinglin would be courteous enough to not disrupt her rest. She would then follow that lead and hang up on her.

Unfortunately, Wang Jinglin continued, “I’m sorry to have woke you up but this is an urgent matter that I need to speak to you about. Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep.”

Lin Chu guessed that Wang Jinglin was referring to what happened at Sheng Yue tonight.

Her lips curved into a cold smile, “What is it, auntie? Do tell me.”

“Lin Chu, I know Ziming had wronged you. You were together for four years, after all. It was terrible of him to end things with you this way. I’ve always felt sorry about it and do not dare to face you. I’m always looking for an opportunity to bring Ziming with me and apologize to you.”

“Auntie, please don’t beat around the bush and tell what do you want to talk to me about. I understand the guilt you and Ziming have towards me,” Lin Chu was a little sarcastic.

Wang Jinglin did not detect the sarcasm in her words but continued, “I’m sincere about what I said. I understand that you are feeling upset about all these and hate Ziming for it. But… Can’t you still be friends after breaking up? Is it necessary to make everything so awkward? Even if you and Ziming can’t be husband and wife, you are still family. As long as you are still in the Lin family, you’ll still see each other frequently. Why make the situation worse than it is? Zimingg told me that you… you told Old Lady Lin, Mr. Lin, and Mrs. Lin tonight that Ziming abandoned you for Yuwen because of money, that he did not break up with you while he was dating Yuwen. You made it sound like Ziming was a terrible person who let Yuwen down and let you down. His image has been tarnished in front of the Lin family. Why go to this extreme?”

“Although Ziming had let you down, I still feel that I was very decent to you. You should not sabotage Ziming out of respect for me. Yuwen is already pregnant with his baby. Do you know, if… If Yuwen has something against him, you’ll be destroying their marriage. What if the child loses its father? How terrible would that be? Don’t destroy a family for the sake of your own hatred. How… How could you do this? Lin Chu, I’ve always thought of you as a kind person. I never expected you to do this. Even if you broke them apart, it would… it would give you no benefit. Ziming could never be with you again. The past is the past, why can’t you let it go?”

The sound leaked loudly from Lin Chu’s phone. Xu Moyan could hear everything loud and clear.

Xu Moyan went into a rage at Wang Jinglin’s words, “What the hell! How much more shameless can this person be, that’s so brazen of her!”

Wang Jinglin said a little unhappily, “Lin Chu, is there someone listening in next to you?”

Lin Chu ignored her words and shook her head at Xu Moyan to get her to keep her calm. She was fine. She asked Wang Jinglin, “Then, what would you like me to do, auntie?”

“Lin Chu, you are a good girl, always so kind. You won’t want to destroy someone else’s family. Can you talk to the Lin family and tell them that you were angry about Ziming breaking up with you and felt that it was unfair, which was why you purposely sabotaged him? Tell them you regretted immediately after saying those words and felt that you shouldn’t have treated Ziming this way. I know that this would be unfair for you. I’ll bring Ziming along to thank you and then make him apologize. No matter what, Lin Chu, you were the one who said those words, and everything happened because of you. If you didn’t say them, it wouldn’t bring us so much trouble. Can you… solve this?” Wang Jinglin said quickly.

Xu Moyan’s eyes widened in anger. It was difficult for her to hold it in as she wanted to give a good scolding.

“I’m sorry, I can’t,” Lin Chu said decisively.

“Lin Chu, you…”

“Auntie, if I was saying this to sabotage someone, then I’ll apologize. But no, I’m not someone who does something like that, so there’s no need to apologize. Every word I’ve said was the truth. None of them were maligning Cheng Ziming. He should bear responsibility for his actions. I have no reason to take the blame for his mistakes. I don’t have anything to do with him anymore, why should I help him with this?” Lin Chu said calmly.

Wang Jinglin frowned, “Lin Chu, you’ve been with Ziming for four years, after all.”

“Auntie, you’ve told me before our past relationship should be considered the past. We must look forward and not constantly harp on the four-year relationship. Ziming and I are broken up, we no longer have anything to do with each other. I don’t need him and he’s not worth me doing anything for him. When Ziming broke up with me, the only thing I could do was accept my luck and take it all in. I’ve never planned to do anything to them, but Cheng Ziming and Lin Yuwen wouldn’t let it go. I have never bothered them, yet they continue to force me into a corner. What should I allow them to bully me without retaliation? There’s no logic in this.”

“Auntie, I don’t know if you were aware that Cheng Ziming had cheated on me. He was dating Yuwen during the last year we were together. If you had known about it and still accepted my help in your household without a second thought, then I’ll accept it and have no further plans to pursue this matter. No matter what, I’m not the one who has lost in this. I have never done anything wrong towards any of you, and I’ve never done anything so wrong that it requires me to sacrifice myself on your behalf. No matter what I’ve said about long forgetting the matter with Cheng Ziming and they are free to do whatever they like, you still refuse to believe me. You kept insisting for me to forget about the past but the people mentioning the past are all of you. I wished that nothing had ever happened.”

Lin Chu took a deep breath, “When Lin Yuwen came looking for trouble, you didn’t stop her and instead requested for me to look forward. In fact, it was Cheng Ziming’s doing that made things escalated this way.”

“Lin Chu, please just help with this. I promise that Ziming and Yuwen won’t bother you anymore. You… You’re still calling me auntie, so, please help. Yes, Ziming has wasted one year of your life, it was his fault. But you’re still young, you’re only 24, you haven’t wasted your youth on him. You…”

Lin Chu gave Xu Moyan a look of comfort to get her to stop worrying. She would not stupidly agree to this. “I’m sorry, auntie. I no longer have anything to do with Cheng Ziming and have no interest to take the blame on his behalf. I think it won’t be too suitable for us to keep in touch. I wish great health to you and uncle. Other than that, there’s nothing much I can do. Do let Cheng Ziming know to not bother me anymore and I won’t give him any trouble. But if he comes bothering me, I won’t stand by and do nothing. We should stay out of each other’s way and everything will be fine. This time, it’s just my way of expressing my stance. No matter what, I won’t plead with the Lin family because what I said was the truth. I can’t deny myself. Auntie, it’s late now. I won’t disturb you any longer. Do give my regards to uncle.”

Lin Chu did not give Wang Jinglin a chance to reply and hung up.

Xu Moyan was angry, “Why did you stop me from yelling at her on your behalf? What kind of person is this?! You didn’t earn much when you were working part-time as a student and yet you saved half the money and gave them to Cheng Ziming’s parents. They were aware of your situation and they still took the money with ease. That Wang Jinglin said such so-called nice words, apologizing to you and at the same time trying to push you around. She must think you are stupid. Cheng Ziming did such a terrible thing to you, but I don’t see her taking action for her apology. She has nothing but words. Now that something’s happened, here she comes running after you in accusation. She’s the soft kind of bad person, selfish and only looks out for herself. Lucky you’ve broken up with Cheng Ziming. Even if he didn’t cheat on you, she would still stand on Cheng Ziming’s side after the both of you are married. She’ll bully you for not having a home to go back to. She’ll bully you and then twist her words to ask your understanding by claiming she’s on your side. What good is that?!”

Lin Chu laughed as she massaged Xu Moyan’s shoulders, “Alright, alright. Stop being so angry. I’m quite lucky, aren’t I, to have broken up with Cheng Ziming? His mum is right, though. I’m just 24. I should be grateful that Cheng Ziming showed his true colors so early for me to see him for what he is. I didn’t waste my youth on him and I didn’t end up marrying him. I used to think that his mum was nice but was just a little soft-hearted. At least she wasn’t unreasonable, but I’ve seen through her now. I don’t think there is no need to keep in contact with their family. It’s good that I’ve made a clean break from them. You should be happy that I didn’t end up in their fiery pit.”

“Sigh, my dear Lin Chu, why are you always so positive. No wonder Lin Yuwen is always mad with you. She must be so unhappy to always not get her way with you.” Xu Moyan could not help but laugh over it.
