Chapter 167: Ji Mofeng
“Miss, if you like him, go for it. Why are you bothering me?” Yin Lingyan said weakly in English, she really didn’t have that much time to deal with her unnecessary troubles.
Anna stared at her ungratefully, and only her next words would touch her heart.
“Don’t you know he likes you?” Anna blurted out in one breath, her words full of injustice.
Yin Lingyan was stunned. She saw Anna’s flushed face and wondered how she knew Mu Qingyi liked her.
Seeing Yin Lingyan’s confusion, Anna instantly softened and began to explain Mu Qingyi’s heartache. “When he first came to America, he was very dejected, only knowing how to drink all day. Sometimes he would get drunk. Once, he was drunk. I had been secretly following him…”
Anna paused for a moment, a bitter smile forming on her lips. “After seeing him drunk, he kept muttering Yin Lingyan’s name. I accidentally saw your photograph on his mobile phone…”
Yin Lingyan roughly understood what Anna was saying and felt a wave of sadness. She didn’t want to harm anyone. After Anna finished speaking, Yin Lingyan’s impression of her improved somewhat.
She said she genuinely liked Mu Qingyi and wasn’t just causing trouble. She couldn’t control her emotions. Mu Qingyi had clearly rejected her. Although she was sad, she refused to give up.
“Let me tell you about him and me too.” Yin Lingyan pondered for a moment, unsure where to start. In the end, she decided to start with Mu Qingran. She didn’t notice Anna had already dialed someone’s telephone.
“He has a sister named Mu Qingran. He and I have known each other for several years and have a very good relationship. I didn’t know he liked me, but I can guarantee one thing: I don’t like him, and I never will. Although this might sound harsh, it’s the truth. I have someone I like, named Han Wuyu. I can’t control my affections. He and I are only friends, and can only be friends. To be clearer, I consider him my brother. Do you understand?”
Yin Lingyan explained with difficulty in English. Anna was also clearly stunned upon hearing this. Looking at the words “Call Ended” on her mobile phone, she didn’t know what to do.
She had always thought Yin Lingyan had hurt Mu Qingyi, but she never expected such a revelation.
Was this telephone call she made… also a mistake?
“Thank you.” Regardless, Anna had gained clarity. Yin Lingyan saw her expression and knew Anna wasn’t someone with a pretty face but no brain. If she truly liked Mu Qingyi, Yin Lingyan believed she would come to her own conclusions.
This also made Yin Lingyan realize that while first impressions are important, true understanding is the most crucial.
Looking at Anna’s retreating back, she hoped he would find happiness. He and this Anna would make a good couple.
Although what she told Anna had some omissions, it was the truth. She loved Han Wuyu; that was an undeniable fact.
After Mu Qingyi hung up the telephone, Yin Lingyan’s words replayed in his mind. He grabbed his car key and rushed towards the bar.
He knew she knew, that’s why he left. But why did hearing it from her mouth hurt so much… it hurt so much, as if ten thousand arrows had pierced his heart.
He ran red lights frantically. By the time he reached the bar, only two minutes had passed. This speed… was truly astonishing.
Mu Qingyi took his liquor and entered the private room, then began to drink heavily, as if this could make him forget all the pain, as if this could vent all the desires in his heart.
ps: What Yin Lingyan said was a bit harsh, but it was realistic. She couldn’t help it.
