You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 78

Bai Rong’s personality had always been cold and calm.

She had never trusted nor gotten close to anyone easily. Her heart was extremely cold towards outsiders, but extremely soft towards those she cared about.

The worst thing that happened to her was her encounter with Su Xuyan, a man who destroyed her life.

When she first met Su Xuyan, he treated her very well and would give her everything she wanted. He even helped her get a job at the hospital and arranged for her mother’s treatment.

At that time, she had really thought that she was the luckiest person on earth.

She even questioned how she was able to get Su Xuyan to like her. Despite her youth, beauty and smarts, she was also ridiculously poor and had a mentally ill mother.

However, it was her first time experiencing love, after all. She was blinded by it and gave it everything she had, that is, until Su Xuyan’s lover kidnapped her.

She also found out that Su Xuyan was the one who arranged it on purpose as she saw them have sex in the car.

She was in so much pain that she could barely breathe, and it felt like a living hell.

To make matters worse, she was raped by a stranger in her time of despair.

After that, she forced Su Xuyan to marry her, or at least she thought she did.

For all she knew, that marriage might just be another hell that Su Xuyan had prepared especially for her, and she had walked right into it herself.

She dared not believe in love anymore, as she wouldn’t have been hurt so badly had she not loved him.

Both she and her mother had fallen victim to the same fate.

“What’s wrong, Rong?” Liu Yan came in through the door when she heard Bai Rong crying.

“I’m fine. I just had a nightmare, that’s all.” Bai Rong said as she sobbed, and shrank into the blanket. She didn’t want Liu Yan to worry about her.

“I’ll keep you company.” Liu Yan snuggled into the blanket behind her and hugged her from behind.

Bai Rong burst out in tears.

She didn’t lose everything as she still had her friends.

Liu Yan could feel Bai Rong’s body trembling as she sobbed, and felt sad for her as well, “Rong, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”

Bai Rong shook her head and turned around to face Liu Yan. “It has nothing to do with you. I just recalled my past, that’s all.”

“Things will get better in the future. Once you get divorced, you can be together with Gu Mingchen.” Liu Yan comforted her.

“Liu Yan, if you really want what’s best for me, stop trying to match me with him.” Bai Rong said seriously.

“Why? I think he’s great in every aspect. Your life would be a lot better if you marry him.” Liu Yan was puzzled.

“My mother was very pretty when she was young. She was an orphan, but she was very smart. She worked as a nanny for a rich family and the young master fell in love with her. She then became the young mistress. However, her identity, lifestyle habits and social status soon became obstacles between her and the young master as their family grew successful and powerful.

My mother loved the young master very much, but he had his own ideas and plans. My mother got scared as she had nothing to match him and could only bind him with her love.

She succeeded a few times, but love could only get her so far. The wealthy young master then met another woman much more suitable for him. They had similar ideals and ambitions, and most importantly, family backgrounds and influence in society. She could help elevate the young master to a whole new level. So, in the end, the young master abandoned my mom.” Bai Rong said as her tears flowed silently.

“Not everyone’s the same. I think Gu Mingchen isn’t that kind of guy.” Liu Yan said.

“I believe that the wealthy young master did love my mother, but he wouldn’t go against his family’s objections and marry her. Such impulsive love isn’t enough for a lifetime of happiness. Besides, I’ve only known Gu Mingchen for slightly more than a month. The quicker such a love comes, the quicker it fades too. What I want isn’t an exciting romance, but a quiet and peaceful life. At the very least, I won’t get hurt anymore.” Bai Rong said rationally as she sniffled.

Liu Yan went quiet, as she didn’t know what else to say.

Bai Rong had never talked about any of this before, so no one knew what she had gone through as she would always keep all her pain and suffering to herself.

“Alright, I understand. I’ll support whatever decision you make. From now on, I won’t take matters into my own hands anymore.” Liu Yan said seriously.

“I never blame you for what you did, because I know you did it for my own good.” Bai Rong smiled.

Liu Yan took a deep breath as she felt that Rong’s analysis was right.

She had only felt that Gu Mingchen was a great person, and didn’t think that much about family backgrounds.

Now that she thought about it, great power really does come with great consequences, which wasn’t something many could bear.

She felt like she had matured a lot in one night from what Bai Rong had taught her.

The storm was finally over as dawn drew near.

Bai Rong and Liu Yan slept soundly until the former’s alarm woke them up.

She had a terrible headache due to the severe lack of sleep, but she had to go to work anyway.

Bai Rong turned off the alarm and glanced at Liu Yan who was still fast asleep before getting out of bed.

She brushed her teeth and washed her face before heading to the kitchen to make some porridge and poached eggs for breakfast.

She also went out to buy two plates of steamed dumplings.

Liu Yan walked out of her room sleepily and tousled her messy hair, “What time is it?”

“It’s 7.30 a.m., you’re just in time for breakfast. We can go to work together after we’re done eating.” Bai Rong said softly with a smile as if nothing happened the night before.

“Rong, you’re so great, I love you so much! Why don’t you just stay single forever and spend the rest of your life with me!” Liu Yan said as she giggled.

“Hurry up and get ready!” She placed the dumplings on the table and went to get the porridge in the kitchen.

Her phone rang. She saw that it was Xing Jinnian and answered the call.

“Bai Rong, I’ve sent you the thing you asked for. Check your inbox. I hope you don’t disappoint me with what comes next. Hurry up and get divorced.” Xing Jinnian said smugly.

Bai Rong placed the porridge on the table and switched on her computer. She saw the video that Xing Jinnian had sent her.

Xing Jinnian had gone the extra mile to censor her own face and private parts, but left Su Xuyan’s completely uncensored, including their conversation.

Three years ago, she would’ve felt sad and angry if she saw such a video and heard the conversation.

But now, she just felt a release from her pain as she had completely given up on Su Xuyan.

She did not mind in the slightest, nor did she feel any pain whatsoever. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Bai Rong made several copies of the video and saved one of them into her phone as her counterattack began.
