"Zi Er, what are you saying...,"
"Su Jin, can you please not intervene? And also don't try pleading for him because it will never work," Yang Zi cut Su Jin short abruptly.
With the way things are going, I am certain they are gonna end up leaving each other heartbroken. Although I am here, it hurts my heart to know that I can't do anything to fix their once-perfect relationship.
Su Jin thought helplessly as he stared from Yifeng to Yang Zi.
"You know what, I had thought I could keep up with the acting for another one month but, sorry I can't. The time for pretence is over. It is now time to face reality," Yang Zi said sternly when Yifeng did not give a reply to her previous question.
"Pretense, what do you mean?" Yifeng asked anxiously as he watched her approach him. He stared into her eyeballs when she stood in front of him. From the way he could not read her feelings from her face or eyes, he concluded that she had hardened her heart before she embarked on this journey.
"The fact that I never loved you, Li Yifeng," Yang Zi declared, to the shock of the two friends. Their expression showed their inner feelings. One could easily guess that these two friends did not expect these utterances from her.
"Do you hear me, Li Yifeng? I have never loved you for even a second and that will not change even in the future. Everything was just an act put up by me," Yang Zi said, staring into his eyes to show him that she was damn serious about what she said.
"That is a blatant lie," Yifeng remarked, as he tilted his head sideways to avoid staring at her. Hearing her words caused him excruciating pain. Yifeng felt as if his heart was repeatedly stabbed with a dagger. He was afraid she would see through his pain if he continued staring at her.
"Have you ever thought why I never said I love you despite the countless times you declared your love for me?" Yang Zi asked in a serious tone.
"That is because you weren't ready...,"
"Hahaha... I wasn't ready! How did you come up with such an excellent excuse to comfort your failure?" Yang Zi laughed like a lunatic. Her smile and emotionless expression made Jin shudder.
"I never said I loved you because I never loved you, there is no other reason apart from that so get that into your thick skull, Li Yifeng. I was only fooling around with you. The truth is I, Yang Zi can never fall in love with any man and I will never give any man such importance because all men are betrayers. They are not worthy to be loved by me," Yang Zi said fiercely. Yifeng who had been struggling to maintain his cold facade fell on the couch. It took less than a minute for his entire world to come crashing down before his feet.
Seeing the state Yifeng was in, Jin ran to his side. He quickly sat beside him.
"Feng, are you ok?" Su Jin asked as he touched him.
"Feng, don't take Zi Er's words to heart, she is just angry, that is why she is saying all these things to hurt you," Jin tried to reassure Yifeng. Su Jin had expected Yang Zi's heart to melt a little by seeing Yifeng in this terrible condition, but the expression he met shocked him. There was not even the slightest change in Yang Zi's expression. It was still as cold and emotionless as it was when she first entered the mansion.
"Jin, if I was you I wouldn't try to give him false hope because what I said is the absolute truth. I only accepted Grandpa's offer to work in Best Enterprise just to get close to the one who murdered my elder sister. All my life, I have lived to avenge my sister's unjust death and that is the reason I started working in Best Enterprise," Yang Zi said, in a serious tone.
"Working in Best Enterprise was so Zhou Yixian won't get weary of me or my background and guess what?" Yang Zi said, smiling devilishly. Her smile looking so creepy, it made Jin shiver.
"He stupidly fell in love with me not knowing that the only reason I got close to him and his family members were to take revenge just like I had taken revenge on all his friends who were involved in my sister's death. I did not only avenge my deceased sister by killing them, but I also avenged my eight years of grievance. Li Yifeng and the company were only a tool to get closer to him, nothing else," Yang Zi said staring at Yifeng who was still in a state of shock.
"Li Yifeng, don't tell me you deluded yourself into thinking that a heartless lady like me would foolishly fall in love with a man like you?" Yang Zi asked as she squatted to his level.
"Even though I wanted to fall in love with any man, why would I fall in love with a scumbag like you who isn't faithful to just one woman?" Yang Zi asked staring into his eyeballs.
"Zi Er, please stop talking? I don't think I can take it anymore, " Yifeng said, as he raised his hand to cup her face but Yang Zi quickly beat his hands away before it could touch her face.
"Even though I wanted to fall in love, Su Jin is a better choice than you, got it?" Yang Zi said coldly as she stood up.
"Li Yifeng, if I was you, I wouldn't put up these pretentious acts because it would never work on me. I used you just like you used me, I don't feel remorseful about it and I would prefer if you acted just the way you acted when you saved Zhao Liying and her mother from me," Yang Zi said sternly.
"Li Yifeng, you held me two favours and I am gonna use those two favours today," Yang Zi said as she squatted once again.
"Stay away from me and my family. I am using my two wishes on this and you have no choice but to grant me these two wishes," Yang Zi said coldly, as she stared into his eyes.
"Zi Er, I know that Feng did something unforgivable to you but please don't do this to him. For my sake please don't cut off all ties with him. You haven't even finished talking but look at the state that he is in. He might not survive it so please....,"
"Starting from this moment, Li Yifeng has no connection or ties to Yang Zi. The next time we meet, we will be nothing but strangers," Yang Zi said as she stood up to leave.
"Zi Er, please don't leave him in this state. For my sake please...," Su Jin pleaded, holding onto her right hand.
"Li Yifeng can go to hell, I don't care," Yang Zi said coldly, as she forcefully wriggled her hands out of Jin's grip.
Yang Zi walked out of the mansion without glancing back to see the terrible state she had left Yifeng in.
On getting outside, Yang Zi was shocked to see that it was raining outside.
"Goddamn it! Why is it suddenly raining? The forecast did not say that it was gonna rain today so why the heck is it raining out of the blues?" Yang Zi cursed loudly.
"Why is nothing working out for me today?" Yang Zi asked, as she quickly cleaned the tears dripping down her face.
"This mansion held the best memories of my life. The memories were beautiful and I am sure that I won't forget them in a long time. Goodbye, my first and last love," Yang Zi said, as she stepped into the rain.
"Young Miss, please take this," Feng Shu who had been secretly watching her said as she handed an umbrella to Yang Zi.
"Get it off me," Yang Zi said coldly, as she pushed the umbrella away. She resumed walking again.
"Why did it have to end like this? Wang Yibo is gonna get furious if he learns about this," Feng Shu said, as he stared at her departing back.
"Let me quickly inform the boss that Young Miss left without taking her car with her," Feng Shu said, as she hurried into the Mansion. The scene she met wasn't one she had imagined.
She had always seen the strong side of Yifeng, that is why she was shocked to see him break down to the state that he could not control his tears.
If they love each other so much, why do they have to cut off all ties? Look at the state of ruin both of them are in.
Feng Shu who had overheard their earlier conversation thought, as she stared at the crying Yifeng whom Jin was trying to console.
Su Jin who felt the presence of someone in the room, turned around to see who it was.
"Feng Shu, what is it?" Jin asked coldly. He did not like the fact that Feng Shu saw Yifeng in that condition.
