Feng Tianlan watched the scene unfolding on the stage. It was undoubtedly from when she was four years old in her previous life. She could not accept her parents’ death and ran out of Shen Manor to look for her mother and father. As a result, she ended up getting bullied by those hooligans. That day was also the day she met had Jiang Ying, Big Brother Jin, and Sister Lin.
The corner of her lips turned up into a cold smile. Did he really intend to use those memories to make her forgive him? And to get her to believe his feelings for her?
But had Jiang Ying forgotten that the person who beat up those bad men was the gentle and mild Big Brother Jin, who never seemed to be angry, and not him, Jiang Ying?
The opera performed onstage changed, playing scene after scene. It was almost about them every year. The memories were so beautiful, and they were so good to her.
Had it not been for her personally experiencing such betrayal, she would not have believed that the people who were so close to her had actually hidden such venomous hearts.
The scene on the stage transformed and the little girl grew up to be a beautiful young lady with stunning allure. She sat on the imperial consort’s chaise, looking at the brilliant white snow covering the world outside the window. She listened to the sounds of firecrackers outside and bowed her head to clear her throat. It was a sight to behold.
At this time, a man and a woman on the other side began to perform in opera.
“I have given her poison, so she will be sick for a long time. As long as you do as I say, I’ll keep her alive,” the female opera singer sang in a pinched tone.
“Impossible. I will never do what you want. Even if I die, I want to die together with her.” After the male opera singer finished singing, he sped to the girl’s bedside and took care of her with all his heart. He even sought out all the famous physicians in the world for her…
Feng Tianlan could not help but curled her lips and smirk at this point as she watched. Was this scene not what Jiang Ying had described to her the last time?
It was utterly ridiculous of him to think that she would believe what was being performed in the opera.
What was being performed on the stage was undoubtedly what Jiang Ying had said before. He only did such a horrible thing to her because he was threatened. There were even later scenes about how he tried to seek death unsuccessfully several times and was stopped as well as how he painstakingly looked for her later. But she was with another man in the end.
It really showed him to be so devoted that he moved heaven and earth while she, the victim, was so heartless, ungrateful, and shameless that she had hooked up with another man in the blink of an eye.
With such deliberate distortion of the truth, it was really the most shameless drama in the world.
“Dai’er.” Once the curtain fell, Jiang Ying jumped off the stage. He was even wearing a costume. It was clear that he had played himself later as an adult.
Feng Tianlan took a step back to be far away from him. She looked at him with cynicism.
“All of this is what I want to say. I haven’t forgotten you, let alone betrayed you,” Jiang Ying said, looking at her with deep affection. He then took out a small grease-proof bag from his arms and handed it to her. He said, “This is the sugared chestnuts I went to the old shop on East Street to buy. You used to love to eat them. I put them near my chest to keep them warm. They are still hot, just like my heart for you, which is still passionate as always.”
“When did you learn this trick? You wouldn’t have done that before,” Feng Tianlan said cynically. “Did you learn from my Mobai?”
Jiang Ying’s face looked a little embarrassed. Indeed, he really would not have done this in the past. In more recent days, in order to coax Shen Qingdai into returning to his side, he had been paying attention to the situation in the Bailan Alliance. He actually found out that Si Mobai personally went to the old shop on East Street to buy sugared chestnuts.
It was then he recalled that Shen Qingdai loved to eat them. Moreover, he also saw Si Mobai put the small grease -roof bag in his arms. So, he learned from Mobai how to coax Shen Qingdai into changing her mind. Otherwise, how could he have done such a childish thing?
