“Yaoyao also said that the people in your family treat her very well. She feels that her parents have let her down, and she feels that she’s not good enough anymore…”
“You might not be able to understand her, but as a girl, I can understand yaoyao. If it were me, I would choose to return the money as well, because I want equality. I want our relationship to be clean and without any impurities. Money is a good thing, but sometimes, money isn’t really a good thing.”
Leng Nuan, who was about to finish her words, waited for a moment. Seeing that there was still no response from Lin Jiage, she spoke up once more, breaking the silence between them, she said, “Well, it’s getting late. I’m going back to rest now. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”
After saying those words, Leng Nuan waited for a moment. Seeing that Lin Jiage was still silent, she prepared to take the phone down from her ear and cut off the call. However, just as the phone fell half an inch away.., lin Jiage’s voice sounded from the other end of the phone, “Thank you.”
Thank you… Even though Lin Jiage didn’t thank her for anything, Leng Nuan could guess that he was thanking her for telling him all of this.
Leng Nuan lowered her eyelids slightly and paused for a moment, then, she replied with a light tone, “You don’t have to thank me. I’m not telling you all of this to help you. After all, I’m not close to you, so there’s no reason for me to help you. I’m a person who doesn’t usually act like this. If a friend tells me something, it’s basically limited to me. The only reason I’m telling you all of this is because I want to help Yaoyao…”
“…”on the other end of the line, Lin Jiage was caught off guard by Leng Nuan’s cold words. He was taken aback for a moment before saying, “Thank you.”
This time, Leng Nuan didn’t reply. Instead, she took her phone away from her ear and hung up.
While she was on the phone with Lin Jiage, there were two more missed calls and more than ten unread messages on her phone.
All of them were from Lu Benlai.
“Nuannuan, your phone is busy. Are you talking to Boss?”
“Nuannuan, boss is such a taciturn person. What’s there to talk about with him? Talk to me. I’m the best at Chatting.”
“Nuannuan, it’s already been ten minutes. Why are you two still chatting? It’s so late at night, and it’s very easy to get pregnant while chatting.”
Pregnant?
Leng Nuan’s lips twitched as she put away her phone. Ignoring Lu Benlai, who was still muttering to himself, she headed straight back to her dormitory room and went to bed.
..
After hanging up the phone for a long time, Lin jiage finally lowered the hand that was holding the phone down from his ear.
The words that Leng Nuan had told him echoed in his ears over and over again. It felt like a dream, and he found it hard to accept.
The moment he thought of her crying on the field, he couldn’t imagine how Shi Yao would react when she returned home from Chengdu and heard the news about her parents.
She must have been devastated back then, right? She must have been even more pitiful and helpless than what he had seen tonight, right?
But he… he actually went along with his own understanding without even asking the truth, throwing such a huge tantrum at her in the clubhouse that day. In fact, he even said that.., “You’ve been the fiancée of the Lin family for six years, so it’s only right for you to receive some compensation…”
Lin Jiage closed his eyes, and he suddenly felt like slapping himself in the face.
