Meng Xintong didn’t want to bother Su Lenghan at first, but since she wasn’t as kind-hearted as Yun Bixue, her feet stopped in their tracks, and she blurted out, “Su Lenghan, are you regretting? Regretting that you treat Yun Bixue in that manner in the past?”
Su Lenghan trembled for a moment before he froze and turned to look at Meng Xintong wordlessly.
She walked to his side and looked down at the main hall. “Su Lenghan, your silence is an admission of your regret. Frankly speaking, I don’t understand you. Why did you abandon a woman as good as Yun Bixue? When she was at her lowest, you abandoned her and chose Meng Xinyan. Was the Su family after the Meng family’s wealth? You didn’t gain anything after scheming for so long. Has your family realized that? The Meng family’s wealth doesn’t belong to Meng Xinyan, and the Su family became a laughing stock as well.”
Su Lenghan’s weakness was trampled on ruthlessly, and his pale face stiffened.
Meng Xintong wouldn’t sympathize with him because she was a woman, not to mention that she could understand Yun Bixue’s desperation. If Young Master Xie did not appear when he did, would Yun Bixue have done something silly?After a moment, Su Lenghan replied slowly, “You’re here to seek justice for her?”
“I’m not. For Yun Bixue, what happened in the past stays in the past. She has already forgiven you and helped the Su family. However, as her friend, I always have my doubts. I don’t understand how you men can choose Meng Xinyan over her.”
Su Lenghan sighed. “Perhaps my eyes were covered back then. Perhaps it was because I didn’t know my limits and was consumed by my ambitions. People need to go through some things before they understand what is important. As for me, having missed the chance, I wouldn’t disturb them. Rest assured that I wish for the best for her.”
Meng Xintong shook her head. “I’m not worried that you would come in between them. Young Master Xie adores Yun Bixue, and only a fool will leave him. I just think that you are pretty desolate now. Since you’ve already thought it through, you should find a good wife for your daughter too!”
Su Lenghan pursed his lips, as though wanting to say something before stopping himself. Only he knew. He would never find another woman. Instead, he would focus on his daughter and take good care of her—he would groom her to become a morally upright woman.
And he would do this while watching Yun Bixue become happy.
Looking at Su Lenghan’s expression, Meng Xintong felt conflicted. Eventually, she gave in and felt some sympathy for him. “It’s going to start soon.”Su Lenghan nodded.
Without another word, Meng Xintong left and went down to the main hall.
Seeing her return, Yun Bixue asked, “Where did you go?”
“I went to the washroom and saw Su Lenghan on my way back. I think that he’s pitiful, but people like him often have sides where people detest.”
Yun Bixue’s expression shifted before raising her head to look at the second floor. She patted Meng Xintong’s hand and said, “It’s alright. It’s all in the past now.”
Meng Xintong looked around her. “Bixue, you didn’t notice this, but there are so many remarkable men who are looking in your direction. I think they all like you!”
Once Meng Xintong dropped that statement, Xie Limo swept a cold glance around the hall. All of those men stopped looking at Yun Bixue immediately.
Meng Xintong pouted. She cupped her hands and whispered to Yun Bixue, “Your hubby’s jealous.”
Yun Bixue nudged Xie Limo’s arm. “There are many beauties looking at you.”
Xie Limo held her hand and chuckled. “Then make them stop looking.”
“As long as they don’t do it brazenly, I’m not bothered with secret admirers.”
