579: An Unrequited Love

An Unrequited Love

"I think it is enough for today."1

Cheng Yang said and started to put his books inside his bag. 

The girl who was seated beside him had suddenly dim eyes when she heard his words. 

"We can study for some more time, I guess."

However, Cheng Yang didn't even look at her as he said 

"No, I need to go somewhere."

The girl couldn't say anything after that. However, when Cheng Yang was about to get up she suddenly took out something from her bag and held his hand to stop him. 

Cheng Yang frowned when he looked at her hand on his wrist. However, the girl ignored his frown and said 

"Here…I bought this for you. I heard that you like to eat sweet things."

There was a shy smile on her lips when she said these words and passed the soy milk to Cheng Yang. 

Cheng Yang, however, freed his arm from the girl's hold forcefully and said indifferently while looking at her.

"Listen…I am completing your wish of studying together only because you saved me from getting hurt by that car. Except that, there is nothing between us. So please don't bring anything for me again."

Finished saying what he wanted to say, Cheng Yang set his bag on his shoulder and finally left from there while the girl looked at his back with sadness-filled eyes.

Shen Yiling stroked her dress as she looked at herself in the mirror. There was a smirk on her lips as she praised herself inside her heart. 

She looked so beautiful that she was sure that no one else will look more beautiful than her at the banquet. 

And no one was supposed to. 

Otherwise, how will she attract He Jian's attention? 

Unfortunately for Shen Yiling, even after so many years, she had been unable to understand that He Jian was never get attracted to anyone's beauty. If beauty was the criteria for his attention then he had come across many beauties in his life but none caught his eyes….except one. 

And it was not her beauty which got his attention but it was everything about her made won his heart. 

Lost in praising herself, Shen Yiling wrapped up her costly cosmetics which she had bought with great difficulty, and hurriedly exited the bathroom. 

She was not going to miss this banquet at any cost. 

Shen Yiling first took out the invitation card from her purse and showed it to the security guard. She had stolen it from her friend. It was the same friend from whom she had got to know that He Jian was going to attend this banquet. 

The security guard allowed her inside once he was sure about the invitation card. 

Shen Yiling entered the huge hall. 

Her eyes stared at the wealthy people from noble families who conversed with each other elegantly. 

How long it has been since she had attended one such gathering! At least two years…

Shen Yiling cursed her family for not doing anything right two years ago which made their family bankrupt. 

However, she was not aware that it was because of her only that her family was facing such circumstances today. 

It was He Jian who destroyed Shen Enterprises completely and he was still not making things any easy for Shen family. 

But Shen Yiling very comfortably ignored all her mistakes and put all the blame on her family. 

The only thing she was concerned with was her comfort and her wishes. 

And her wish was to marry He Jian. 

With a very soft smile on her lips, she stepped further inside the hall and looked around. Her eyes couldn't help but shine with envy when she saw the girls having branded things. 

However, a moment later, she comforted herself by saying that she still looked more beautiful than them. 

Walking to a corner from where the entrance could be seen easily, Shen Yiling picked a drink and had it slowly while waiting for He Jian. 

However, a whole hour passed.

There was no sign of He Jian.

Another hour passed and people were now starting to leave the banquet. It was only then Shen Yiling heard someone ask the person who had arranged the banquet

"Wasn't Young Master He going to attend this banquet?"

There were many people who wanted to make relations with He family to take their business to new heights so many people attended this banquet in the hope of meeting He Jian. However, He Jian's absence disappointed these people including Shen Yiling.

"He was going to before."

The organizer sighed as he continued

"I just received a message from his assistant a few hours ago that Young Master He had to leave the country for some reason so he won't be able to attend."

Shen Yiling's mood soured down when she heard this.

She held her purse and decided to leave the banquet hall.

When she was outside the hall, she dialed Shi Fengju's number.

However, when the call didn't connect, Shen Yiling stomped her feet in anger.

"Where was this b****d?" She cursed loudly making the passerby look at her weirdly.

Shen Yiling immediately shut her mouth but inside her heart, she was very angry with Shi Fengju. If he had picked up her call before then she would have been able to get to know from him whether He Jian would attend this banquet or not.

Shen Yiling was sure that Shi Fengju would have found it out somehow even though he and He Jian no longer talked with each other. 

But the b****d never answered her calls.

A few moments later, she comforted herself.

It was alright. She will look for some other chance to see He Jian. She was not going to give up so easily.

She just needed to be calm and clever.

She will soon be He Jian's wife and He family's daughter-in-law.

After all, Mo Roulan was no longer there for her as a threat. She and He Jian broke up two years ago and she was sure that He Jian despised her.

If only she knew…
