Chapter 132
It wasn’t that she was afraid of Duan Hannah beating herself up again like she had just done, she just didn’t want to be the bad girl that Duan Hannah said was stealing other people’s boyfriends, and besides she wasn’t stealing from her.
“It’s better if I take you back, aren’t you afraid they’ll beat you up again?” Gu William insisted.
“No!” Cheng Lydia was insisting, too.
“No being that stubborn.” Gu William was speechless.
“Just don’t!” Cheng Lydia turned and walked away.
“Hey!” Gu William went after her and stopped her in her tracks, staring at her with some chagrin, “Why aren’t you a cute kid at all? Is Shen Ron the only one who’s trustworthy in your eyes? Everyone else is a badass brother?”
Cheng Lydia retorted nonchalantly, “I just only like Brother Ron.”
“Shen Ron he’s out of the country ignoring you.”
“Not at all, he’ll be back later.”
“…”
“I don’t like being with you, I hate you, and I don’t ever want to see you again!” Cheng Lydia shouted this at him in one breath, pushing him away and walking quickly in the direction of the stairs.
Gu William, who had always been spoiled by the girls, had never been so disliked, and was so angry that he yelled at her back in total disregard of his image, “Fake princess, little liar … I don’t want to see you yet! You’d better get killed by that gang and I’ll never come to your rescue again …”
Fake Princess, Little Liar …
Cheng Lydia was braked by the two newly suspicious terms, and she twisted back in exasperation to glare at Gu William, who was ten meters away.
Gu William was a little apologetic since she was glaring at him so much.
Really shouldn’t have revealed her, after all it was a little secret that only he knew.
Cheng Lydia’s tears welled up inside her eyes, then she rushed up, grabbed Gu William’s arm that was hanging at her side and bit it hard.
Gu William didn’t expect her to suddenly run over and bite him, and let out a low cry of pain, and before he could react, Cheng Lydia had already turned around and quickly made her way down the stairs.
He frowned and lifted his arm to see that there were two more rows of clear teeth marks on it.
He was stunned for a moment, stuck his head out from the parapet and yelled at Cheng Lydia’s back, who had already run to the first floor, “Hey! Little thing are you a dog?”
Cheng Lydia twisted her head, gave him a look that proclaimed it went well, and turned to walk away.
The next day, heavy news emerged that Gu William was about to be expelled from school after a school fight in which he seriously injured someone.
Gu William didn’t expect his fight to be made such a big deal, he knew it was the boys who had been beaten up that had started it and were asked to call their parents straight away after a scolding and education from the head teacher.
As soon as Gu Andrew heard that his son was going to be expelled from school, he immediately jumped in anger and shot a cold look at Gu William questioning, “Is it true that he got into a fight at school?”
Gu William nodded, “It’s true.”
“Brat, how dare you say it’s true?” Gu Andrew was so angry that he rushed up to beat him up, Mrs. Gu was busy shielding her son behind her and said in no good mood, “What’s the point of moving? What else do you want him to say? Say it’s not true?”
“Look at his face, there’s no remorse at all.” Gu Andrew huffed, most unhappy with Gu William’s admission of fault when the school had just called, with a complete look that he had done nothing wrong.
“Those hooligans already owed it to themselves to combine to bully a little girl, so what’s wrong with me cleaning them up?” Gu William retorted.
Mrs. Gu whacked him on the arm with her fist, “What are you talking about? Fighting at school is just wrong, even if you saw a little girl being bullied, you should have told the teacher instead of striking out yourself and hitting someone so hard.”
The boys have two really beaten quite seriously, the lightly injured A Hai at this time also rely on the hospital pretending to be sick, compensation for medical expenses is nothing, was expelled from the school for Gu Andrew is really can not afford to lose this person, after all is mixed in the upper class, and the upper class children are basically in that school to read.
“Get down so black, if you kill someone, you’ll go to jail inside.” Gu Andrew picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, then sat down heavily on the sofa.
Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Andrew and then at Gu William and said, “If you’re fired, you’re fired, big deal, let’s go abroad too.”
As soon as Gu William heard about going abroad, he immediately spoke up against it, “I’m not going abroad.”
“Why? Look, people like Shen Ron have quit school and gone abroad, we can’t be any worse than him, right? Even if you don’t learn anything, you’ll still be a big name when you go abroad.”
“What do I need to be so loud for? It’s not like I can eat it for dinner.” Gu William rolled his eyes.
“Why can’t it be a meal? After taking over Gu, people will trust you only when they see that you have strength. Also, it’s easier for a man with strength to get a wife than others.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Gu William continues to roll his eyes.
A wife? It’s just as easy for him not to leave the country, right?
Usually there were already so many girls inside the school who wanted to pursue him and seduce him that it gave him a headache, he wasn’t worried about not attracting women, he was worried about being too attracted to women.
Except, of course, the one at …
His arm ached vaguely at the thought of Cheng Lydia, who had been talking about hating him before he left, and he sucked in a soft breath, gently covering the row of already bruised teeth marks with the palm of his other hand.
That was the mark she had left on him, the mark of hate.
“I see that it does work out that way.” Gu Andrew thought for a moment before speaking again, “Tomorrow I will make an appointment with the director of the school and ask him to change the expulsion to an unsolicited application to withdraw from the school and leave the country.”
“Dad …” Gu William was in a hurry.
Gu Andrew interrupted him in exasperation, “Brat, do you still have the right to say no?”
“I … Why don’t you just ask him to take back his decision to expel? Just let me stay in school.”
“What do you think school is? You can do whatever you want without regard to the people?” Gu Andrew stood up from the couch, “This is settled, you made the trouble, stay home and reflect on it for a while.”
Gu Andrew threw that down, not giving him all the room to retort, and stepped upstairs.
Unable to convince his father, Gu William could only turn his eyes to Mrs. Gu for help, but who knew that Mrs. Gu turned her head around and went upstairs as well.
Mrs. Gu, who always protects her son, doesn’t help him this time because she also wants her son to go abroad and hopes that he will be on the same level as Shen Ron in the future.
On the other side of the planet, the sun shines and flowers smell in the garden of a private villa.
Shen Ron’s index finger clicked on the mouse and opened his inbox, and what appeared in his sight was a pair of intimately embracing backs, which he didn’t need to guess, he could see at a glance that it was Gu William and Cheng Lydia.
Eyes sinking, he moved his eyes to the matching words below the diagram.
Duan Hannah tells him that Gu William was expelled from school for fighting with someone over Cheng Lydia, and tells him that Gu William has been tickling Cheng Lydia all this time.
He didn’t know what Duan Hannah had told him and didn’t believe that Cheng Lydia would do anything with Gu William, after all, Cheng Lydia was too young to understand love. But when he saw the photo and what Duan Hannah said, his heart was still uncomfortable.
What Cheng Lydia doesn’t understand, Gu William knows a lot.
Gu William’s extra care for Cheng Lydia was once in his sights.
He grabbed a paper and pen from the table and wrote up a letter to Cheng Lydia for the first time.
The handwriting is strong and powerful, and the content of the letter seems to be venting, venting the discomfort in the bottom of the heart:June, how are you doing these days? I heard that Gu William got into a fight for you and was expelled from school, is that true? June, I heard that Gu William has been looking for you a lot lately, is that true …?
After writing so much in one breath, Shen Ron stopped writing, and when he looked back even he found the jealousy in the lines ridiculous to the extreme.
He crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it on the floor with chagrin, took a light breath, and had to pen it freshly: “June, remember what you promised your brother? Will wait for brother back, no matter how long …
Once again, he crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it on the floor, lifting his pen, but hesitating to land on it.
What should I write about? What would express his feelings at this moment?
A girl came over in the direction of the main house, holding a cup of freshly brewed fragrant tea, the girl placed the cup on Shen Ron’s table and said with a smile, “Drink tea, brother.”
The scent of tea overwhelmed the scent of flowers, softly hitting his nose, but Shen Ron didn’t have the heart to taste tea.
“Thanks.” Shen Ron snapped at her without looking up.
“What do you want for lunch, brother? I’ll get it for you.” Shen Ron was happy to feel the change in Shen Ron’s attitude towards himself, in the week since he arrived in America, he was slowly changing his attitude towards her, or at least not being cold anymore.
It seems her parents weren’t wrong, her brother is slowly starting to accept her, and she’s sure he’ll treat her like his own sister one day, just like … did with the girl named Yang June.
“Whatever I want.” Shen Ron said and quickly looked up to stare at her again and asked, “Do you know how to make dumpling strips?”
Dumpling strips?
Belle shook her head, she could only make egg noodles.
Shen Ron nodded and stopped speaking as Shen Belle bent down to pick up the ball of paper that Shen Ron had thrown on the floor and tossed it into the trash basket before turning around and heading back inside.
Shen Ron’s heart, after all, is not made of iron. Even though he is angry with his stepmother for interfering in his family, Shen Belle is innocent, and she is so sincere in trying to please him that she even went to the trouble of following him to America.
Most importantly … he loves the feeling he gets when he hears Shen Belle call out to his brother every time, because it reminds him of Cheng Lydia, who is far away from home.
So much so that some years later, he actually did treat Shen Belle like his own sister.
Cheng Lydia had never hated her memory loss so much, ever!
The wind on the river was so cold, so cold she could hardly shed a tear.
She finally understands why Shen Ron always says that she not only looks like Yang June, but also has the same personality, and why there are many things that only Yang June can do, but she can do them too.
And was … that one strange scene that had appeared in her dream also real?
If she really is the girl that Shen Ron has been hanging on to, then what about Yang June? Who is she again?
Grimly, she wiped a handful of tears from her eyes with the back of her hand as her vision cleared and in a trance she saw Shen Ron, dressed in a black trench coat, walking quickly this way.
Was it a hallucination because you were so surprised?
Cheng Lydia blinked hard at her eyes, expecting Shen Ron s figure to disappear as a result, not wanting instead to grow clearer and closer …
Finally, he stood in front of her.
“What are you doing here?” Shen Ron surveyed a crying, pearly Cheng Lydia, then reached down and lifted her out of her chair and pulled her close to survey her, “What’s wrong?”
What’s worth her crying so much? And came to the river alone to cry?
Just now when he received the call from Gu William, he was driving his car to go home, and when he heard Gu William say that Cheng Lydia was alone by the river, as he did, he turned around and drove this way without thinking.
The night around her was so heavy, the light so dim, that Cheng Lydia still thought she was under a delusion. Her slowly lifting hands wondered if the shivering was extremely sharp from the cold, and it took her a while to brush his exquisite jaw.
“Shen Ron, do you really love and adore Yang June?” She asked as she gazed at him choking on a sob.
Shen Ron froze, not expecting her to ask that question out of the blue.
It was only after a long moment that he nodded gently and stared at her with a serious look on his face, “I’m sorry, I wanted to lie to you and say no, but I couldn’t say it.”
A new splash of tears welled up in Cheng Lydia’s eyes and Shen Ron lowered his head guiltily, “I’m sorry.”
“What about Yang June? Does she really love and adore you too?” Cheng Lydia asked again.
Yang June …
Shen Ron, after some more contemplation, replied, “She said she loved and loved me.”
Did Yang June really love and adore him? She actually doesn’t remember any of it.
“If …” Shen Ron slid his hands gently to her shoulders and held her up, gazing at her with a gaze as deep as a well, before he uttered, with half a moment’s difficulty, “If this is really that hard for you, then stay, let me love and cherish you, and let’s be good together in this life.”
“June she is nearing the end of her life, she and I are not meant to be together in this life.” He smiled astringently, “It’s time for me to move on from the shadow she brought me, and you, who will surely be the second woman I fall in love with in my life, will be my final destination.”
Cheng Lydia blinked away the tears in her eyes and nodded, choking out the word, “Good.”
She gently rose on her heels and gently pressed her lips to his red ones. Perhaps it was the weather, both of their lips were cold, and her lips trembled extremely sharply.
His kisses, his scent were familiar to her, yet only the smell of recent memories. She tried to find it a little more distant, yet … there was none.
She didn’t even know if her little self had been kissed by him before or not, and if so, how could she not have the slightest memory of it?
Shen Ron is surprised by her behavior at this point and stares in awe at the pretty face in front of him, almost hidden by tears.
What’s wrong with her? How did she become so perverse?
But whatever the reason, at this point he just wanted to embrace her and change from passively to actively kissing into her, which he did.
