Chapter 6

When Fang Ya'en heard this, her spirit trembled, and her chopsticks fell in surprise. She hurriedly took a tissue to clean up and said, "Do you have to bring up such heavy news while I'm eating?"

However, regarding her temperament, she truly does not like it and needs to be disciplined. Nevertheless, Fang Ya'en is correct; she can be cultivated. After all, her features and appearance are nearly extinct.

Ye Meng grew up in a special family where all three of her aunts were unable to bear children, making her the unique treasure of the entire family. As a result, she received an abundance of love, which she enjoys sharing. In romantic relationships, she is undoubtedly the one who gives the most; she likes to take care of others and does not enjoy being cared for, nor does she appreciate being overly clingy. When she expresses affection, her words are filled with deep emotion, yet she can be quite ruthless when ending a relationship.

Cheng Kairan had calculated everything, yet he did not anticipate that Ye Meng would take the initiative to come to him

You changed your stance too quickly; just yesterday you said it was impossible to find Jiang Luzhi's ex-boyfriend

Ye Meng inexplicably smiled for a moment, her gaze suddenly softened, and she gently said, as if inquiring or suggesting: "Li Jingyu, have you ever seen a psychologist?"

Cheng Kairan realized that she seemed unchanged, still that fearless little girl from years ago who was indifferent to everything. His spirit soared beyond Tianshan, yet his eyes were fixed on her, fearing that she would vanish the moment he blinked. However, his throat felt as if it were blocked by a stone, and no words could escape. He began to doubt whether he had misjudged the situation back then; perhaps she had not truly severed ties with him.

Ye Meng carefully recalled that he seemed to be at the back that day, and then turned his head and remembered: "But didn't you renew the fee the night before? At the elevator entrance, I told you about Jiang Luzhi's matter."

Ye Meng waved his hand in front of him, "Cheng Kairan?"

"What could possibly go wrong?" Ye Meng asked lazily, "By the way, what has been said about Cheng Kairan's matter?"

Ye Meng had been following Cheng Kairan for a few days, precisely timing his eating, drinking, and working hours. At this moment, he would be at the arcade. Thus, Ye Meng was idly leaning against the streetlight downstairs from Cheng Kairan's entertainment complex, dressed meticulously. With a cap on his head and a hoodie pulled over it, he casually remarked, "Isn't your husband against you associating with them? Otherwise, if your mother-in-law finds out, there will be more to say. Since I have decided to stay, I can't keep avoiding him. Cheng Kairan might just beat me up, but that's fine; I will figure this out myself."

"I will transfer the money to your sister, but right now I just want to know one thing. Are you doing this to upset your grandmother, or to upset someone else? Are you trying to get back at someone? Do you think that person will care?"

Did Fang Ya'en tell you

Ye Meng was interrupted in her thoughts by the call of "sister." The words she was about to say instantly flew beyond the clouds, and she could only ask, "You are really younger than me?"

Good

A bar is precisely the kind of place that easily stimulates one's hormones, with the cochlea buzzing.

Ye Meng took out a business card from her bag, and at that moment, her eyes were only on this man: "Have you ever heard a saying? The bottomless abyss, going down, is also a path to a bright future. I will be straightforward; no matter what kind of hurt you have suffered from other women in the past, with me, I will only treat you as a treasure. You need to think it over, and if you decide, come find me, I can help you. No matter what you have experienced before"

Bauhinia Hotel

She then asked expressionlessly, "Perhaps, do you prefer to get married directly?"

"Isn't this just taking advantage of the old lady going for an examination?" Ye Meng leaned back in the chair, idly tossing the apple in his hand.

"Li Jinyu," Ye Meng seemed oblivious, asking to herself, "Did you do it on purpose tonight?"

Li Jinyu was taken aback, his expression filled with surprise. After two seconds, he returned to his casual demeanor and smiled, saying, "Are all of you sisters so eager to get married?"

Li Jinyu was engrossed in searching for clues on her phone and absentmindedly said, "The day you paid her surgery fee, you mistakenly used your own social security card, and the clerk entered it twice before you got it back. I was right behind you at that time"

I am 93," Li Jinyu said, "I know you are 91.

"Hmm?" He had just raised his wine glass to his face, and his brow slightly furrowed.

It was not until Li Jingyu patted Cheng Kairan's shoulder that he seemed to be reinvigorated, as if his soul had been restored, and he breathed, "Oh, Ye Meng."

"What is it? Do you suspect that I have feelings for you?" Li Jinyu said with a look of exasperation, "The hospital changed the old lady's medication, and I just went to ask if it can be covered by insurance."

"Are you causing this scene on purpose tonight? You clearly know that this town is small and full of rumors, yet you still act this way. Don't even mention marriage; it will probably be difficult for you to find a proper girlfriend in the future," Ye Meng pushed the paper slips filled with numbers and vulgarities towards him, staring straight at him and piercingly said, "What kind of relationship do we have? I don't believe you are doing this for me. You are clearly doing it on purpose."

Fang Ya'en took a long time to reply to her WeChat message. When asked what she was doing, she casually responded after a while: "Stuck in traffic."

Ye Menggabang took a bite of the apple and chewed slowly, saying: "It has been said that circumstances change, and people cannot remain the same forever. I usually don't pay much attention to him, but yesterday at the bar, I took a good look and found him completely to my liking. I have never seen anyone who fits my aesthetic so well, both obedient and desirable. If I miss out on such a gem, am I still a woman? Moreover, looking at it from another angle, Xiao Jiang has suppressed me for so many years; if I manage to get her ex-boyfriend, wouldn't that be a way to turn the tables? After all, I just like his face... Let Jiang Luzhi have a little advantage, I wonder if they have kissed."

Ye Meng did not expect that Li Jingyu was present. Since that night, the two had not seen each other again. At this moment, there was a girl beside him who looked both obedient and easily deceived, seemingly still a high school student. She was truly the epitome of being easily fooled

The location had been chosen in advance by Ye Meng. Cheng Kairan suggested going to his tavern, but Ye Meng politely declined. She provided the driver with the location, while Li Jingyu, sitting in the passenger seat, cast a faint glance.

Ye Meng stared at him without blinking; he estimated that he was annoyed by the questioning, his brows tightly knitted in a frown.

The bar was bustling with people coming and going, and from time to time someone would strike up a conversation with him. Li Jinyu sat on a high stool at the bar, one long leg casually dangling down to the floor. He locked his phone and tossed it onto the bar, losing interest in playing with it. He tilted his head back to stretch his neck and said helplessly, "I am not getting married. If you really want to get married so badly, turn left when you go out; there’s a marriage agency over there. I’m not interested in you older sisters; I prefer someone younger than me, preferably easy to deceive and obedient, someone presentable who can also warm my bed at home. Do you understand?"

Li Jinyu froze completely, the lines of her body becoming even more distinct. Her eyelashes drooped slightly, and her gaze appeared exceptionally gloomy under the dim light. The unease in her eyes seemed to be stirred like a disturbed lake.

Ye Meng greeted him with composure, treating it as a chance encounter, "Kai Kai, what a coincidence."

Ye Meng did not linger her gaze on Li Jinyu; instead, she fixed her eyes on Cheng Kairan and smiled, "I have been back for quite some time, and Fang Ya'en has been urging me to invite you to dinner. It just so happens that I ran into you. Do you have time today?"

Li Jinyu's appearance belongs to the type that becomes more attractive the more you look at it. Ye Meng initially did not find him particularly special, nor did she know if it was because she had grown accustomed to his looks or if her previous bias against his personality had caused her to overlook him. She realized that he completely resembled the ideal younger brother she had in her heart. It was as if he had been meticulously sketched out according to the handsome image in her mind, with every detail perfectly in place, not a single stroke out of line. This level of compatibility is something that even cosmetic surgery could not achieve so perfectly.

As the performance concluded, the young lady stepped down amidst the cheers, her forehead glistening with sweat. Upon raising her eyes, she spotted Cheng Kairan standing at the back of the crowd, his gaze distant and unfocused

The third floor of the entertainment center is a gaming hall, bustling with crowds on weekends, filled with students in school uniforms, and business is thriving. A circle of middle school students surrounded the dance mat, erupting in thunderous cheers. In the center, there was a girl with an excellent sense of rhythm, wearing a baseball cap and a white sweatshirt. Her movements were graceful and effortless, with just the right amount of force, and her timing was particularly precise, directly breaking a long-standing record. Next to her was a line of screams, causing Cheng Kairan to momentarily squint, as if he saw Ye Meng from his high school days.

Li Jinyu's gaze turned cold, and with a languid expression, he said: "Are you burning bridges after crossing them? If that's the case, just transfer the money to me."

Ye Meng only felt her cochlea tighten, as if she had also stepped into the rhythm of seeking pleasure, just like when a man agreed to go out and sleep with her

She smiled innocently and openly, and Cheng Kairan was completely enchanted, almost as if possessed, and said, "Yes."

What can he say with that pig's brain? Anyway, you should go out less these days and stay at home. I will talk to him when I get discharged from the hospital

Alright

Two hundred meters from the police station

However, Li Jingyu did not even lift his head, his expression indifferent, as if his eyes were glued to his phone. He casually agreed, completely embodying the demeanor of a carefree scoundrel, welcoming all comers.

Fang Ya'en was immediately infuriated, and without a second thought, she made a call, "Are you crazy? Didn't I tell you to wait until I am discharged from the hospital to discuss this?!"

They sat side by side facing the bar, the dimly lit pub filled with the sound of a sultry ballad, sweet nothings whispering in their ears. A glance back revealed a scene of passionate couples entwined in each other's embrace. Their bland conversation felt like a breath of fresh air, standing in stark contrast to the decadent atmosphere.

Li Jingyu suddenly lowered his head and smiled

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Li Jinyu said coldly as he looked at her, as if someone had poked at a painful spot. The seemingly vague and scattered thoughts appeared to be entirely empty in front of this woman; she could see his unease and struggle.

Fang Ya'en has always understood Ye Meng's way of thinking. She is the type who comes up with ideas on a whim, and the best way to interact with her is to maintain a degree of clarity; otherwise, one might easily be led astray by her and end up in a mess. She seriously reminded, "You better not come up with any nonsense."

After Ye Meng disappeared for a few days, it had also been some time since I last visited the hospital

She deliberately called him that, and Cheng Kairan's heart trembled, as if he had returned to those high school days when the three of them played games online, catching frogs and counting stars by the riverside at night

Ye Meng felt it was necessary to sew up Fang Ya'en's mouth
