332: C332 Farewell to the Road

C332 Farewell to the Road

After Xue Zhaowu left Lin Lang's ward, he quickly walked in front of the elevator. However, the elevator's descent was a bit slow. He waited in front of the elevator for a while, but still didn't see the elevator. He was a bit anxious, but also a bit anxious. He silently cursed and went to the stairwell and quickly went downstairs.

Not far from them was a patch of lawn. The evening's weather was rather cool, so there were quite a few patients who were being pushed around by their families. There were quite a few people walking around the lawn, and it was rather lively.

Xue Zhaowu's gaze moved back and forth in the crowd, but he still couldn't find Soong Shiyan's familiar figure. Recalling what Lin Lang said to him in the sickroom, Xue Zhaowu was a little worried — Dijin was just kidnapped, and now her emotions are unstable. Nothing will happen to her, right?

Thinking of this, Xue Zhaowu quickened his pace, looking around the hospital for Soong Shiyan's figure.

Soong Shiyan sat on a hospital bench as she looked at the nearby family members and patients. In her heart, she felt so uncomfortable that it almost suffocated her — she was a jinx! Because all the bad luck was caused by her!

Because of her, her father had died miserably in the hands of Yinn Haoming and Yan Duoya, and she didn't have a chance to send him to his death; because of her, her grandmother had died tragically in a great fire, and she couldn't even collect her corpse; because of her, Lentinus edodes had returned to its Huo Family, but was killed by Yinn Haoming and his mother; because of her, Lin Lang had married Xue Zhaowu against her own wishes, and now had an unfortunate miscarriage.

All the people she cared about, because of her, her fate had become tragic. And she, the one who started it all, was still alive and well.

Why wasn't she the one who died? If she had died in the past and was not reborn, Lin Lang might not have encountered such a situation. Lin Lang was still the same arrogant and unruly young miss.

Soong Shiyan sat on a chair. Her tears had dried up long ago, but her eyes were still red. The evening wind blew over, dispersing the scorching heat of the day. However, it caused her heart to grow even colder.

Soong Shiyan raised her head to look at the ward upstairs and muttered, "Lin Lang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry …"

She repeated the word "sorry" mechanically, as if she wanted to use it to dispel the guilt in her heart. However, this was completely useless.

Xue Zhaowu searched around the hospital but still couldn't find Soong Shiyan's figure. He felt a bit lost and was about to find a place to sit down when he accidentally saw Soong Shiyan slowly walk out from behind a big tree.

Seeing this, Xue Zhaowu's face lit up. He hurriedly walked towards Soong Shiyan.

"Jing Sung — —" Xue Zhaowu quickly walked in front of Soong Shiyan and shouted excitedly.

Soong Shiyan looked up at the sound of someone calling her name. Upon seeing that it was Xue Zhaowu, Soong Shiyan's originally calm mood became complicated once again. When Soong Shiyan thought of Lin Lang's miscarriage, it was all because of her. She coldly looked at Xue Zhaowu and then silently walked to the side.

"Jing Sung — —" Xue Zhaowu chased after Soong Shiyan, and once again arrived in front of her, blocking her path. He asked in puzzlement, "What do you mean by this? Why did he leave the moment he saw me? Did I do something wrong to make you angry? "

Seeing Xue Zhaowu pestering her, Soong Shiyan remembered the bitter smile on Lin Lang's face and felt a little angry in her heart. She raised her head, looked at Xue Zhaowu, and said with a cold tone of voice, "Xue Zhaowu, what do you think I mean!"

Seeing Soong Shiyan's agitated tone and icy expression, Xue Zhaowu was stunned for a moment. He looked at Soong Shiyan and muttered, "Dijin —"

"Xue Zhaowu, I've told you before, I'm not that Dijin, I'm Jing Sung!" Just how much longer are you going to play dumb?! " Soong Shiyan looked at Xue Zhaowu with a hint of madness in her eyes. Her expression was very cold, like a block of ice that had not melted for a long time.

Hearing that, Xue Zhaowu took a deep breath and said to Soong Shiyan, "Jing Sung, don't get too excited. Let's sit down and have a good talk."

"Is there any need for us to continue the conversation — Xue Zhaowu, Lin Lang is my good friend, yet you allowed her to miscarry — do you think I will forgive you and myself?" Soong Shiyan looked at Xue Zhaowu. The moment she mentioned Lin Lang, she fell into a state of great guilt and self-blame.

"Jing Sung, this isn't your fault — if you have to blame me, then this matter should be blamed on me." Seeing Soong Shiyan blaming herself for Lin Lang's miscarriage, Xue Zhaowu felt sad.

After all, if he hadn't been so impulsive, Lin Lang wouldn't have fallen down the stairs and lost her child. As for Jing Sung, she wouldn't blame herself so much. The relationship between her and Lin Lang was so intimate that he knew that perhaps, in this lifetime, she would never forgive him, much less herself.

"It's my fault. If we hadn't met back then, this series of events wouldn't have happened, wouldn't it?" Soong Shiyan looked at Xue Zhaowu with a sad expression as she spoke quietly.

"It's my fault — all this has nothing to do with you." Xue Zhaowu looked at Soong Shiyan and said slowly.

Soong Shiyan stood on the spot in silence for a long time. After a long while, she finally asked, "Now, Lin Lang and you …"

Soong Shiyan knew clearly in her heart that Lin Lang was a decisive person. Now, because of this matter, Lin Lang had miscarried, so Lin Lang definitely wouldn't forgive Xue Zhaowu so easily. In this way, the marriage between Lin Lang and Xue Zhaowu might face a great test. As for her, she had unwittingly destroyed Lin Lang's marriage.

"We're getting a divorce. It was Lin Lang's decision." Xue Zhaowu looked into Soong Shiyan's eyes and said with a deep voice.

For some reason, Xue Zhaowu's heart felt heavier when he said the word "divorce".

But when Soong Shiyan heard the word "divorce," her face didn't look any better. Lin Lang and Xue Zhaowu had just gotten married. If the news of their divorce were to spread, it would not be good for their image. Although Xue Zhaowu and Lin Lang were not public figures, the influence of Xue Family in the upper class could not be underestimated. If the news of their divorce were to spread out, then this matter would definitely become the topic of discussion for those people.

As for Xue Zhaowu, his expression was also a bit sad. In the beginning, he didn't want to marry Lin Lang. However, after their marriage, he felt that marrying Lin Lang might be a good choice, and most importantly, he seemed to have gotten used to Lin Lang's existence. When he thought about how soon Lin Lang would leave his world, or even disappear completely, his heart felt heavy. It was as though a huge hand had grabbed his throat, making him unable to breathe.

Seeing the heavy expression on Xue Zhaowu's face, Soong Shiyan suddenly felt that his marriage with Lin Lang might not be as bad as she imagined.

"I think we'd better sit down and have a good talk." Soong Shiyan looked at Xue Zhaowu and said slowly.

Seeing Soong Shiyan say this calmly, Xue Zhaowu nodded and followed her out of the hospital to a nearby dessert shop.

"Do you still remember what I told you before you and Lin Lang were married?" Soong Shiyan asked leisurely as she scooped up the fruit from the dessert.

Xue Zhaowu nodded his head in agreement. He didn't know why Soong Shiyan would bring up this matter again.

"I know you wouldn't believe such an absurd thing. "So, I just called Tiankui to tell her to come here — you know Tiankui, right?" Soong Shiyan looked at Xue Zhaowu and said in a low voice.

"I know, she's the woman that has been following you the whole time." Xue Zhaowu nodded and replied.

"Yes, Tiankui is the person who is most familiar with Dijin. That's why I called her over —" Soong Shiyan said gently. However, every word she said was like a clap of thunder in Xue Zhaowu's ears.

… ….

Not long after, Tiankui arrived at the dessert shop where Soong Shiyan and Xue Zhaowu were, as promised.

Seeing Xue Zhaowu, Tiankui's face did not look too good. After all, the organization and Xue Family were irreconcilable. The two of them belonged to opposite factions.

"Jing Sung, did you call me here just to meet this person?" Tiankui sat beside Soong Shiyan, glanced at Xue Zhaowu and said with some dissatisfaction.

Soong Shiyan knew that Tiankui was purposely making things difficult for Xue Zhaowu. She smiled at Tiankui, acting as the peacemaker.

"Tiankui, I asked you to come for an important matter — so, I think it's best for you to be a bit calmer." Soong Shiyan looked at Tiankui and said with a smile.

Hearing that, Tiankui retracted her hostility towards Xue Zhaowu. She looked at Soong Shiyan and nodded. "Alright, I'll listen to you."

"Now, tell Xue Zhaowu what happened to the real Dijin." Soong Shiyan looked at Tiankui as she spoke to her quietly.

Tiankui took a deep breath before slowly opening her mouth. Other than Soong Shiyan's real identity, Tiankui told Xue Zhaowu about the relationship between Soong Shiyan and Dijin.

Xue Zhaowu sat there with a look of shock on his face. He had always thought that the only reason Soong Shiyan had told him such bizarre things was to let him marry Lin Lang in peace, out of selfishness. But now, after hearing Tiankui's words, his firm belief began to crumble.

"Tiankui is someone who has been following you. She will obey any of your orders no matter what you tell her to do. What's more, everything she said just now was just a small lie." Xue Zhaowu looked at Soong Shiyan and shook his head.

Tiankui saw that Xue Zhaowu seemed to be intentionally avoiding the truth, so the smile on her face contained a bit of mockery. Then, she shook her head, looked at Soong Shiyan, and leisurely said, "We will never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep. Now, he intentionally evaded the fact, no matter what we say, he will not believe it.

Soong Shiyan nodded, agreeing to Tiankui's words. That's right, she had already told the evidence to Xue Zhaowu and he wasn't willing to believe it. Now, even if Tiankui were to testify, Xue Zhaowu would think that Tiankui was helping her falsely testify and still choose to escape the truth.

"If that's the case, then it's useless for me to stay here. Looking at him, I'm actually very annoyed — I'll go to the car and wait for you." Tiankui stood up and said as she looked at Soong Shiyan.

Hearing this, Soong Shiyan nodded and silently allowed Tiankui to leave.

After Tiankui left, only Soong Shiyan and Xue Zhaowu remained, silently looking at each other. After a long while, Soong Shiyan was the first to speak, breaking the awkward silence.

"Xue Zhaowu, I know, you're so smart, plus what Tiankui said and the evidence I told you before, you should know whether what I said is true or not." Soong Shiyan looked at Xue Zhaowu and said in a low voice.

"But, if I were to say that I actually don't know whether I like Dijin or you?" Xue Zhaowu looked at Soong Shiyan and mumbled.

Hearing this, Soong Shiyan smiled. She looked at Xue Zhaowu and slowly said, "Xue Zhaowu, maybe, the person you like is Dijin, or maybe, the person you like is me, but no matter who you liked before, now, this question has become meaningless."

"Why is it meaningless?" Xue Zhaowu asked in confusion.

"When you see your own heart, you will understand why this question has become meaningless — but I hope that you will not reveal what I have just told you to anyone else. After all, you know that this is an absurd matter and I do not wish to become the subject of experimentation by those scientists." Soong Shiyan looked at Xue Zhaowu and said faintly.

Xue Zhaowu nodded. His actions showed that he actually believed Soong Shiyan's words.2

"Also, my biggest hope is that you won't have anything to do with me anymore. No matter what happens to me, I want you to stay out of it — we'll be strangers from now on. " He looked at Xue Zhaowu and said expressionlessly.

"Is this really what you want?" Xue Zhaowu asked as he looked at Soong Shiyan with a heavy heart.

"Yes." Soong Shiyan answered without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing that, a bitter smile appeared on Xue Zhaowu's face. He said faintly, "Since it is what you wish for, then I — will do as you wish."

"Since we have reached an agreement, I think that there is no need for me to continue staying here." Soong Shiyan packed her things, stood up and walked out slowly. However, she stopped halfway there.

She turned around and said to Xue Zhaowu: "Xue Zhaowu —"

"Yes." Xue Zhaowu replied, but did not turn around.

"I hope that in the time Lin Lang has been recuperating, you will wake up and find out who exactly you like — there are many people in this world who, once missed, will never be seen again in this lifetime; there are many opportunities, once missed, that will never be made up for." Soong Shiyan looked at Xue Zhaowu's back and said sincerely.

"Yes, I will." Xue Zhaowu replied, neither sad nor happy.

"And most of all," Soong Shiyan continued, "Lin Lang is a good girl. I wish you happiness."

Soong Shiyan turned around and left the dessert shop as soon as she finished her sentence.

Xue Zhaowu only turned his head back after hearing the sound of high heels getting farther and farther away. Looking at Soong Shiyan's retreating back through the window, he knew that he was the real thing and would never have anything to do with her ever again. For some reason, he actually felt a sense of relief in his heart.

"Jing Sung, I wish you happiness as well." Xue Zhaowu looked at Soong Shiyan's back and said with a faint smile.
