Chapter 94

The room was very quiet, and Zhao Wanting's trembling lips didn't know how to start speaking. Bai Xueling was her good sister, and Ye Chenfeng was the man she liked. Moreover, she and Ye Chenfeng had already become intimately involved. Could she really just give up on Ye Chenfeng like this?

Seeing Zhao Wanting's hesitant expression, Bai Xueling spoke first: "Wanting, no matter what, we are still good sisters. Besides, you didn't know that Ye Chenfeng was my fiancé before. If you really like him, I'll go and ask my grandfather to dissolve the engagement. Anyway, I don't like him either. Didn't I always complain about him to you on the phone?"

Bai Xueling felt a strange bitterness in her heart. The shock Ye Chenfeng had given her tonight was immense. She couldn't deny that Ye Chenfeng was very attractive to women, but she wasn't so infatuated that she would fall in love with him without any reservations!

When Ye Chenfeng was treating the patient with acupuncture, Bai Xueling's beautiful eyes had shown a lot of admiration. Zhao Wanting didn't believe what Bai Xueling said. After all, Ye Chenfeng and Bai Xueling had been engaged for a long time, and she, Zhao Wanting, was the third party. She forced a smile, reined in her emotions, and said, "Xueling, I'm not interested in Ye Chenfeng at all! Didn't you tell me a lot about him on the phone before? Maybe he's just trying to get your attention by getting close to me. So, you should carry this burden yourself!"

Zhao Wanting knew very well that Ye Chenfeng wasn't that kind of man, but at this moment, she just wanted to find an excuse to give up. She didn't want this matter to affect her relationship with Bai Xueling.

Bai Xueling wasn't a foolish woman; she saw through Zhao Wanting's thoughts at a glance. She pursed her lips and said, "Wanting..."

Before Bai Xueling could finish, Zhao Wanting smiled slightly and said, "Xueling, let's go out! The charity gala hasn't ended yet!"

Zhao Wanting was trying hard to hold back the tears welling up in her eyes. She was afraid that if she continued talking to Bai Xueling alone, her tears would overflow.

After the sudden incident with Zou Zedong, the charity gala tonight sped up. Of course, Xie Panan, who had been humiliated by Ye Chenfeng, had already left. He knew he couldn't save face tonight, so why stay and be ridiculed?

Bai Xueling looked at Zhao Wanting's forced smile and felt a bitter taste in her heart. When they returned to the second-floor hall, she walked to Ye Chenfeng's side and said, "Ye Chenfeng, I don't know how you convinced Wanting, but if you dare to bully her in the future, I, Bai Xueling, will not stand by and watch."

Ye Chenfeng shrugged. He wasn't angry at Bai Xueling's harsh tone; instead, he could see that she truly considered Zhao Wanting a good sister. However, he said, "Aren't you just saying nonsense? Wanting is so gentle, unlike you! Of course, I will treat her well."

Bai Xueling's chest heaved with anger, and she said in a sharp voice, "Ye Chenfeng, I'll go and ask my grandfather to dissolve the engagement. But this time, it's our Bai family who is proposing it, so it's me, Bai Xueling, who doesn't want you, not you, Ye Chenfeng, who doesn't want me."

After saying this, Bai Xueling left in a huff. She had originally planned to stay in Tianhai for a few days, but now, with this incident, she had no mood for it. Of course, before leaving, she said goodbye to Zhao Wanting and Zhao Qihua.

As she walked out of the Yage Hotel, Bai Xueling muttered unhappily, "Ye Chenfeng, what's so great about you? So what if you're not a fool anymore? So what if you have excellent medical skills? Do you think I, Bai Xueling, will be unwanted?"

"Xueling, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me one more time!" Zhou Ting walked out of the darkness. She hadn't left after walking out of the Yage Hotel. She thought and thought, and realized she couldn't sever her relationship with Bai Xueling. Besides, being around Bai Xueling would give her more opportunities for revenge in the future.

Bai Xueling's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said coldly, "Zhou Ting, didn't I make it clear just now? We are no longer friends, no longer good sisters."

Zhou Ting looked at Bai Xueling with red, tearful eyes and said in a pitiful voice, "Xueling, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll know my place from now on. If that's not enough, I'll kneel down and apologize to your friends right now, okay?"

This performance was so good that Zhou Ting could have been an actress. She and Bai Xueling had known each other for many years, and she knew that Bai Xueling was a tough-talking but soft-hearted woman. So, acting pitiful in front of Bai Xueling was the most effective.

Sure enough, Bai Xueling's heart softened. She looked at Zhou Ting and said, "Tingting, this is the last time I'll forgive you. There will be no next time."

A glint of cunning flashed in Zhou Ting's eyes, and she thought to herself, "Bai Xueling, you have a pretty face, but I, Zhou Ting, will get back all the humiliation from you."

...

The charity gala hadn't ended, but Ye Chenfeng saw Zhao Wanting turn and leave. He quickly followed her out of the Yage Hotel.

In the dark night, a bright moon hung in the sky, and the silvery moonlight poured down. Ye Chenfeng called out to Zhao Wanting, who was walking ahead: "Wanting, wait. The situation between me and Bai Xueling isn't what you think it is."

Zhao Wanting stopped, but she remained facing away from Ye Chenfeng. Her face was wet with tears, and under the moonlight, she looked especially tragic.

Zhao Wanting controlled her emotions and tried to speak as normally as possible: "Chenfeng, I'm very grateful for your help to our Zhao family. But since you are Xueling's fiancé, let's just be friends in the future. I don't need you to take responsibility for me."

Ye Chenfeng let out a light sigh and said, "I have no feelings for Bai Xueling, and we won't be getting married. So, Wanting, do you really not need me to take responsibility for you?"

Zhao Wanting, still facing away from Ye Chenfeng, nodded firmly and said, "I really don't need you to take responsibility for me."

As she said these words, it felt as if her heart was being stabbed by a sharp dagger over and over again. The tears in her eyes flowed like a flood, and she didn't stay any longer. She got into her BMW and drove away.

Ye Chenfeng watched the departing BMW and shook his head helplessly. There were many things he needed to do. More importantly, he needed to find the murderer and avenge his parents. So, he thought it was better to let Zhao Wanting cool off for a while. Maybe she would come to her senses in a few days.

He wasn't the male lead in a drama, and he didn't like to use sweet, heartfelt words to move people. More often, he preferred to prove himself through actions.
