Chapter 334 – Many romances ended when a woman was disappointed too many times and gained clarity (3)
You Jing was a player and Meng Jie should not have fallen for his fake tenderness. She was not a good fit for someone who went through life as though it was nothing but a game, and neither was You Jing a good fit for her.
What she hadn’t expected was how persistent You Jing was about her.
It had already been five years, and he still hasn’t moved on.
“Something happened later on and I lost the child.” Meng Jie smiled helplessly. “Perhaps it was all meant to be. I didn’t tell You Jing the reason I broke up with him because I didn’t want to drag it out anymore. Yet he dragged it out for another four more years nevertheless. I merely feel that it was time to talk things out with him. You don’t need to feel responsible for it, Mrs. Lu.”
Ye Zhen went silent and didn’t say anything for a while.
“And that Ning Ke... she, too, was one of You Jing’s close lady friends in the past. You don’t need to care too much about what she says. She wouldn’t dare to offend you.”
Ye Zhen smiled. “Does it look like I will let what she said bothers me?”
Meng Jie gave her a smile and realized she had been worrying over nothing.
Ye Zhen gestured to her bodyguards that they no longer needed to follow her. She then went inside a coffee shop with Meng Jie for a quick rest. As soon as the two of them had stepped inside the shop, a silver Lamborghini came to a screeching stop on the street and slammed into another car that was also stopped on the street.
The owner of the little car got out of his car aggressively, demanding an answer. You Jing, who had gotten out of the sportscar, didn’t care about the man at all and was looking left and right. When he was frustrated by the man, he pulled out a business card, handed it over to the man, and said something to him arrogantly before he pushed him away and made a call while panting.
He said a couple things into the phone before he spotted Meng Jie who had walked inside the coffee shop. He hung up on the phone and quickly headed toward her direction.
A server walked up to greet him after he stepped inside the coffeeshop. You Jing pushed them aside, looked around, and said, “I am looking for someone.”
Ning Ke had told him over the phone that Meng Jie was shopping with a man. You Jing, who was extremely anxious, immediately floored his gas and came over. There was no anger, just unsettlement and anxiousness. He knew all of those stemmed from guilt.
He had made too many mistakes when it came to Meng Jie.
Ever since Meng Jie had told him about her miscarriage, he had sent people to look into it. He was able to confirmed Meng Jie’s words that she had a miscarriage in a hospital five years ago. The baby was already four months along and they could already tell her gender. Yet, he knew nothing about it.
An indescribable anger rose up in him the moment he found out about it.
That was his daughter too but Meng Jie had never told him about her. And she continued to refuse to tell him the truth even after such a long time!
Meng Jie had finally decided to tell him the truth after five years. Her tone was very calm. She would not have been able to retold this story so calmly had she not already moved past it.
Many things had happened in five years and enough to change a person.
If Meng Jie had made up her mind to start her life afresh and look for a tender and attentive boyfriend, a woman who was soft and kind like her could have any man that her heart desired.
At that very moment, You Jing could picture Meng Jie dating, getting married, going onto her honeymoon, having children, and even the names of her children in his mind. He could visualize her entire happy and complete life in his head. But what about him when she was living happily ever after?
If only he knew what he knew now and that Meng Jie would have told him about what had happened five years ago, he would for sure have been very nice to her and never did the crazy things that he had done!
You Jing’s palms were sweaty. He looked around the coffeeshop for a long while and worried that he would see her having a good time with another man. The moment that he spotted Ye Zhen, his pounding heart calmed down.
Standing in front of the table, he looked awkwardly at Ye Zhen, who was looking at him casually. The smile on his face was awkward as well, “What a coincidence... Mrs. Lu.”
Ye Zhen found You Jing, who was panting and sweating in the early spring time, amusing. She smiled and said to him, “It is, indeed. What can we do for you, Young Master You?”
You Jing glanced over at Meng Jie, but Meng Jie acted like he wasn’t even there. That made him feel very disappointed.
