“Aunty, I just wanted to see Lu Yi,” Sun Yuhan said in a choked voice. I did not want this to happen too.
“Why are you crying?” Ye Shuyun felt like beating her up, “What are you crying about when even I’m not crying? Did I bully you? Did I hit you or scold you? Did I torture you? You get to spend Lu Yi’s money as you wish and there is a housekeeper to take care of you. What else do you want?”
Her voice was raised and her temper got worse as she spoke. She really had enough of women who cry all the time, like this one in front of her. There was nothing else she could do aside from crying. Is crying going to make anyone feel better? Is crying going to reverse what happened?
Tears were glistening in the corner of Sun Yuhan’s eyes, and they seemed like they were about to roll down her cheeks. She did look pitiful. However, in Ye Shuyun’s eyes, she was just shedding crocodile tears. Would someone believe in crocodile tears? Was it even trustworthy? Even an idiot would not want to believe it.
Sun Yuhan was stunned by that scolding. She did not even have the ability to retort. Thus, she had no choice but to leave. Compared to the life that she had not long ago, she seemed to have returned to her previous days.
Without the high-end clothing, jewellery, expensive bags and high heels, she was left with nothing. At that time, that she realised that she had not gotten anything substantive.
No, she shook her head. She did not want to return to her past. She did not want to be the previous Sun Yuhan who stayed in a rented house. She also did not want to be the Sun Yuhan who lived hand to mouth and led a precarious life. Lu Yi had promised to marry her. He has said so and he has promised me. He will not go against his promise, right?
She then quickened her pace. However, she twisted her ankle as she was walking too fast and her high heel went flying from her foot. Unfortunately, it flew toward the woman in front of her and hit her leg. Then, the shoe fell and rolled to the side.
The lady lowered her head and looked at the heel on the ground. Then, she raised her head. She was not surprised by it. Her beautiful eyes remained calm.
“Huanhuan, what’s wrong?” Yi Ling ran toward Yan Huan and stopped right in front of her, just like how she used to be. Just like how a hen was trying to protect its newborn chicks.
“Nothing,” Yan Huan looked down again. She turned around and walked away after having a look at the shoe next to her feet.
Upon seeing the shoe on the ground, followed by her line of sight shifting to Sun Yuhan, Yi Ling immediately rolled her sleeves up.
“You’re such a b*tch! Are you trying to hit her with your shoe?”
However, at that moment, a hand reached over and grasped Yi Ling’s sleeve. “Let’s go. I’m hungry.”
Without a second thought, Yi Ling kicked the heel away, kicking it to the middle of the road.
Sun Yuhan stood on one leg and was biting her lips pitifully. A crowd started to gather around her, and they were pointing fingers at her. A bunch of gawkers who had created a story about the incident in their minds.
A murder case caused by a flying shoe.
A beautiful moment that occurred as the heel flew up into the sky.
A shoe that was escaping from the odor of her feet. Sun Yuhan’s face turned red from the staring and judgemental whisperings of the crowd. She wanted to pick her shoe up, but she was too afraid to do so. The accident had caused Lu Yi to suffer physical injuries, but it had left a mental impact on her. After the incident, she did not dare to cross the road as she was afraid that she might get hit by a car.
Her high heel was lying lonely in the middle of the road. However, she did not have the courage to get it back. Suddenly, a car came and ran over her shoe. Upon seeing this, Sun Yuhan could not help but shudder as goosebumps erupted all over her arms.
She limped off away with a bare foot.
“Be careful,” Yi Ling sent Yan Huan to the airport and handed the suitcase to her.
“I will,” Yan Huan took the suitcase and waved at Yi Ling. “I’m leaving. Don’t worry about me. I have stayed there by myself for a few months. It’s a nice place with breathtaking scenery. Moreover, I have already paid the rent.”
“If you do like the place, then you might as well get a house there.” Yi Ling thought that living in a rented house would not be as comfortable as living in a house of her own, as they had stayed in a rented house for more than ten years. She would definitely refuse if she was asked to rent a house now. Moreover, it was not that Yan Huan had no money. She could buy any house anywhere she wanted.
“There’s no such need. It’s just a place for me to take a vacation, it’s not my home.” Even though Yan Huan liked that place, she was just there to travel as a transient guest.
It was unnecessary for her to have a house there, since she was just a passing traveler. She just needed a place to stay.
“Everyone returns home for new year. You are the only one who’s leaving home.”
Yi Ling thought of Yan Huan being alone out there, like a helpless little sapling who would be battered by the harsh storms thrown its way. She felt sad by just thinking of it. She had a family now, but Yan Huan had lost everything.
“It’s the same.” Yan Huan was not looking forward to the new year, and thus it was the same for her no matter where she celebrated it. Moreover, nobody would think of celebrating the new year at the Old Master Lu’s place.
“I’m leaving now,” Yan Huan bid as she waved again at Yi Ling. She had to go as the boarding gate was about to be closed.
Yi Ling waved back at her. Yeah, she should just leave and take a break. It was best for her to forget about this place and that person. Lu Yi should not be the one who lost his memory, it should be Yan Huan.
Yan Huan pressed her hat lower and left with the crowd. A white snowflake fell on her face as she looked up. She had to take back her words. Sea City would have heavy snowfall this year. It was snowing again.
A sudden gust of wind blew off the scarf covering her face. After fixing her scarf, she continued to walk with the suitcase in her hand. She did not look back from the beginning till the end, and Yi Ling was the only one who sent her off.
However, she did not know that someone had taken a few sneaky photos of her.
She switched off her mobile phone as she was already on the plane, waiting for it to take off. Once again, she was leaving Sea City to live in a small city where she did not know anyone. She did not know what she was trying to recollect. Was she trying to search for her past, or someone else’s?
She pulled the airline-provided blanket over herself and closed her eyes gently. Her long eyelashes trembled like a fragile butterfly that would be crushed easily by the wind.
However, she did not know that after she had boarded the plane, although she was someone who had long fallen from fame, she was once again trending on the media. Her name was all over the news.
The best actress Yan Huan left the airport alone. She was not accompanied by Song Xihua. The truth of Yan Huan’s ‘affair’ was uncovered!
