The taxi sped away, Cheng Zhiyi sat in the car, tears like pearls that had broken off one by one from her eyes, her throat felt as if it was stuffed with cotton, and she couldn't breathe due to heartache. She couldn't help but secretly turn her head to take a look at what was behind her - Xu Shaoyan hadn't caught up, he still stood quietly in his original position, turned his head around, watching the taxi disappear into the distance.

  He didn't catch up... He really doesn't care about her at all! Xu Shaoyan, he doesn't care about her at all!

  Xu Shaoyan... this scoundrel with a reputation for being a ladies' man, already has a fiancée, how can he still come and pester her relentlessly? How dare he speak so righteously about loving her? How can he conceal the fact that he's already engaged to be married, deceive her, lead her step by step into the wrong path of love, and let her heart sink deeper and deeper?

  Now, her heart has been captured by Xu Shao Yan, her emotions have been firmly grasped in his hands, she is trapped in the quagmire of love, unable to move or extricate herself... Now, what should she do? What can she do?!

  Let go? Maybe it's still not too late to let go at this time...

  After all, she and Xu Shaoyan had just started, not to the point of being deeply in love, and after turning around, she would still have a glimmer of hope; after all, she and Xu Shaoyan came from completely different worlds, his world was so dangerous, so ruthless, so heartless, making her feel an inexplicable fear...

  But thinking that everything is going to end, this life, she and Xu Shaoyan's fate will be exhausted here, they will just brush past each other like this, then he will marry that woman named Bai Jie, while she...she must be in unbearable pain, worse than death!

  Yes…… Cheng Zhiyi suddenly realized that she had unknowingly fallen so deeply in love with Xu Shao Yan. What kind of magic had fate cast on her to make her so crazy? What kind of spell had love cast on her, making it impossible for her to be with anyone else?

  No! She can't let herself become a slave to love again, can't be toyed with by fate at will, can't let her heart and body be controlled by others! Xǔ Shǎoyàn...... this bad guy, this big liar, this deceitful scoundrel...... isn't even worthy of her love!

  It's all because of him that she will suffer such humiliation tonight; it's all because of him that she will be seen as a bad girl who steals love from others; it's all because of him that she is so heartbroken and in pain...

  If she really continued with Xu Shaoyan, later on, there would be even more humiliation and greater harm, and she... was afraid of being hurt! She was afraid that her self-esteem would be brutally trampled, she was afraid of being wantonly humiliated by money and power, she was afraid of the disdain and contempt in his mother's eyes, and even more afraid of that woman's jealousy.

  Let go! Mom is right, Xu Shaoyan is not a good man, she and Xu Shaoyan are not suitable for each other at all! She should listen to her mother's words, find a kind and honest man, have an ordinary love affair, and live an ordinary life.

  Cheng Zhiyi got out of the taxi at the alley entrance, walking home with tears streaming down her face. Suddenly, she felt extremely ridiculous - she had actually been naive enough to think that Cinderella could really turn into a phoenix, that the prince truly loved her, and that as long as there was love, life could become a fairy tale!

  Jing Zhiyi slowly walked to the entrance of her home, just about to open the iron gate of the courtyard, when she was startled by a sudden appearance of a figure. After calming down and taking a closer look, it turned out to be Zheng Xiwen!

  That's right, it was Zheng Xiwen who had a blind date with her!

  Eason Chan wore a white T-shirt, standing under the dim streetlight, and at first glance, it would really scare people! Seeing Jingyi, he slightly shyly greeted her: "Jingyi... hello! Do you still remember me?"

  "You, hello!" Cheng Zhiyi was very surprised in her heart and didn't know why Zheng Xiweng would suddenly appear here, so she asked him, "You... how did you end up here?"

  Can he say that it was not easy for him to get her home address, and then come here to "wait by the tree stump for the rabbit"? Can he say that he came here just to see her, just to hear her voice?

  "Oh..." Zheng Xiwen's heart slightly panicked as he lied, "I have a high school classmate who lives around here, I heard from him that you live in this area... so I deliberately took this route, and was thinking if I could run into you... didn't expect to actually meet you..."

  In this case, shouldn't she have politely invited him in for a cup of tea? However, at this moment, Cheng Zhiyi was so flustered that she couldn't muster up the spirit to pretend to be enthusiastic. So, she forced out a smile and said listlessly: "Oh... what a coincidence... sorry, I should have asked you in for a cup of tea, but my dad and mom aren't home, it's not convenient..."

  "No need to be polite, no need to be polite..." Zheng Xiwen waved his hand repeatedly and smiled, saying "I just happened to pass by..."

  It sounds like there's something fishy going on here?

  "Well... goodbye." Jing opened the iron gate of the yard and waved at Zheng Xiwen before entering.

  Who would have thought that at this time, Mrs. Cheng appeared by the iron gate! It turned out that she had heard Cheng Zhiyi's voice in the house and came out to "welcome" her daughter!

  "Zhī Yī - you're back?" The clear voice of Chéng Māma rang out in the courtyard, and Chéng Zhīyī couldn't help but jump with fright - oh no! Just a moment ago she had lied to Zhèng Xīwén that her parents weren't home, how could her lie be exposed so quickly?

  She hastily slammed the iron door shut, ran over to hug Mrs. Cheng's shoulder and walked into the house, saying loudly as she went: "Hey - didn't you guys go out? How did you come back so early?"

  "Who is that boy again?" Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but turn her head to take a look at Zheng Xiwen standing under the streetlight, curiously asking Cheng Zhiyi - was it this boy who sent Zhiyi back? Her daughter has been so popular lately! It seems that going to pray for blessings really worked... This year, maybe she can finally marry off her daughter!

  As soon as they entered the house, Mrs. Cheng was about to ask Ji Yi a lot of curious questions, but she saw that Ji Yi's eyes were red and swollen like walnuts, hanging her head low, seemingly avoiding her gaze.

  "Jasmine! What's wrong? What's wrong?"

  "It's nothing..." Hearing her mother's concerned inquiry, Cheng Zhiyi's throat couldn't help but feel sour again, and she wanted to rush into her mother's arms and cry out all the grievances and hardships in her heart...

  However, she couldn't! Because, in her heart, she didn't want Mom to think that Xu Shaoyan was a bad man. So, she forced out a smile and comforted Cheng Mama, saying: "It's just that I got criticized by my leader for a few sentences, I'm feeling down, but - it's nothing now!"

  After she finished speaking, she strode towards the room, and as the door closed gently, tears burst out again...
