Chapter 491: Miss Zhou, Why Did You Help Xin Ziao Do Something Like That?

She rushed over, wanting to hit Ruan Yang, but Li Shaobin held her back with one hand. Wang Yuting was just like a helpless chick in his hand.

Ruan Yang didn’t look at Wang Yuting. Her gaze landed on Xin Ziao, who was in the bed. He was wearing a clean set of patient clothes. His hair, which was always groomed neatly, now lay flat on his head. He was sucking on a lollipop with his head down, playing with building blocks on his bed. His gaze was blank as though everything that was happening around him had nothing to do with him.

This was Xin Ziao. The Xin Ziao who was once shrewd.

The Xin Ziao who once stood in front of her like a sturdy mountain and covered her with a jacket.

The Xin Ziao who drove crazily, wanting to leave with her not long ago.

He really had become retarded.

She had a mixture of emotions. Life was filled with uncertainties, but the more you had been through, the more you would cherish the person in front of you.

She didn’t care about what happened between her and Xin Ziao in the past, but right now, Li Shaobin was the one she wanted to cherish.

She turned her face away to look at Wang Yuting. “Auntie, there is no reason for you to push the blame onto me. I already told Xin Ziao very clearly that we had broken up and that we weren’t going to keep in contact and that we would have nothing to do with each other. He was the one who kept pestering me and that caused Zhao Zhu to misunderstand.”

“Shut up!” Wang Yuting shrieked. “No matter what, you shouldn’t have been with our Ziao right from the start. Now, I’m divorced and my only son has become a retard. If not to take care of Ziao, I would’ve long killed myself.”

Ruan Yang fell silent.

Perhaps that was true. She was wrong right from the start. However, she didn’t know that Xin Ziao had a fiance. She only found out about that after she had been with Xin Ziao for a very long time. She had fallen in too deep by then. She did want to leave but Xin Ziao told her that his engagement with Zhao Zhu was forced by his parents. It was a business marriage. There was no love involved. He said that he would prepare to call off the engagement very soon so she believed him. Perhaps even the smartest woman would become naive and foolish in front of love. When he broke his promise once again, she finally decided to let go and leave him.

She left the entertainment industry because of this relationship. She gave up her glory and was even reduced to being scolded and attacked on the internet. She could only go overseas and didn’t even try to defend herself. She had never said anything bad about Xin Ziao and had never said anything to humiliate Zhao Zhu.

Perhaps she wanted to pay the price for her past mistakes. Perhaps she wanted to wake herself up with all the verbal abuse.

She had taken responsibility for the mistake she made in the past. She didn’t blame anyone. She could only blame herself.

However, there was no reason for her to keep taking the blame for everything because she was also a victim.

“Auntie, is it really my fault or do you just like to push the blame onto others?” Ruan Yang watched Wang Yuting calmly. “You’re with your son every day. Don’t tell me you don’t know anything about what he likes? He probably hates Zhao Zhu the most. Right from the start, he was unwilling to be engaged with her, but you forced him too. You never considered what he wanted at all. It was all for the benefits of the Xin Family and the company. You think that you’ve given him the best of everything. If you hadn’t pushed all this onto him, would he have ended up like this? Although you might’ve had kind intentions as a parent, don’t think you’ve never made any mistakes. In fact, you’ve made a lot of mistakes. He fell in love with me. I fell in love with him. I paid the price for my actions and turned back in time. There’s no reason for me to pay the price for this relationship for the rest of my life. A person should look forward. I believe he should too.”

“How’s he supposed to look forward now? He doesn’t even recognize his mother.” Wang Yuting was stumped by Ruan Yang’s words. She admitted she was in the wrong. If she could start all over again, she would’ve never let Ziao marry Zhao Zhu. She would’ve rather let him be with Ruan Yang.

However, there were no “if’s” in life.

Ruan Yang pressed her lips together and looked at Xin Ziao once again. He was smiling foolishly with two building blocks in his hands.

Perhaps the current Xin Ziao was happy. But Xin Ziao was such an ambitious person. He would rather be under immense stress every day than be like this.

She didn’t know what to say either.

After all, Wang Yuting was pretty pitiful right now.

“Zhou Shuyun, I just want to ask you right now-” At this moment, Li Shaobin, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke. “Did you leave that pair of underwear in my car?”

Ruan Yang was stunned. She looked at the beautiful woman in front of her. She was a few years older than her but the thought of that worn purple underwear disgusted her.

Zhou Shuyun’s lips trembled slightly. Her beautiful face turned unnaturally pale.

“Did Xin Ziao make you do it?” Li Shaobin’s eyes were filled with anger and disappointment. “You told me that you didn’t like him anymore. That it was all in the past. You even said that he’s changed drastically. That he was ungentlemanly. I only thought that you were on my side because of that. I believed you. Actually, I should’ve suspected you then. But I couldn’t think of a reason why you would frame me. After all, you didn’t like me at all, so you couldn’t be jealous.”

Zhou Shuyun bit her lip hard and struggled for a while. Her eyes suddenly became dim. “You guessed right. I put them there. My motive right from the start was to get close to you, to make you let down your guard. I know you used to like me so you would definitely treat me differently compared to the other girls in class. It didn’t matter if you have a girlfriend, if you’d gotten married, or if you still liked me. You would still take extra care of me.”

Li Shaobin didn’t think she would say something like that. His face turned awkward. He glanced at Ruan Yang stiffly. She didn’t look too well. No woman would be in a good mood if she heard that her husband would take special care of another woman.

Li Shaobin quickly chided her: “I took care of you because… because I’m a nostalgic person…”

“Don’t be so nervous.” Zhou Shuyun smiled bitterly. “I only did that because you used to like me. Actually, Ziao’s intention was for me to seduce you. However, when I started contacting you, I realized that you’re quite faithful once you fall in love with someone. I couldn’t make you fall in love with me so I could only make Ruan Yang misunderstand you and sow discord between you to make you break up.”

Ruan Yang took a deep breath. She felt deeply remorseful for suspecting Li Shaobin and not believing in him then. At the same time, she didn’t think that Zhou Shuyun was even willing to do such things for Xin Ziao. That was incredible. “Miss Zhou, why did you help Xin Ziao do something like that? Did he… promise you something?”

“Miss Ruan, you’re very smart.” Zhou Shuyun laughed in self-mockery softly. “He said that if I agreed to help him, he would keep me by his side. I didn’t want an official status. I just wanted to be with him. You don’t know this, but I gave myself to him when we were still in school. On the night of his 17th birthday, we spent the night outside. I was his first woman.”

Li Shaobin stared wide-eyed. He would never forget how much he liked Zhou Shuyun when he was 17. He was chasing her like a fool. She was the cleanliness rep and the class didn’t listen to her, so he would threaten them to make them listen to her obediently and clean the classroom.

When he was playing basketball, he saw her walking past the basketball court and forgot to shoot because of that. In the end, they lost the competition, and Old Song gave him a good scolding.

He would find excuses to make her teach him how to do his homework on purpose so that he could spend more time with her.

After school, he would loiter around the school gates so that he could meet her “coincidentally” and go home together with her.

After he grew up, he found all that quite ridiculous.

Now, he found it even more ridiculous.

He was still so pure at 17. He totally didn’t think that the two of them had actually secretly…

“But the two of you weren’t together at that time,” Li Shaobin said in disbelief. “You two did… that even when you weren’t together. I always thought that you liked Xin Ziao but he didn’t like you.”

“Yeah, he didn’t like me.” Zhou Shuyun wiped away a pathetic tear at the corner of her eye. “But I just liked him. I gave my first to him. I didn’t regret it at all. I did so willingly. After it happened, he might’ve felt a little embarrassed. We were together secretly for a while, so none of you knew about it. But he still initiated a break-up afterward. Actually, I knew it was because he didn’t like me.”

Li Shaobin blinked. He looked at her like she was a stranger.

Right now, he realized how foolish and childish his first love was. Why would he have a crush on such a person?

When he was still chasing after her every day, did Xin Ziao laugh at him secretly?

Now he felt as though he just had a delicious plate of meat but it was only after swallowing it that he discovered it was a plate of rat meat. Disgusting.

“Shaobin, let’s go.” Ruan Yang suddenly held his hand.

Li Shaobin was stunned. He followed behind her without a word.

Maybe it was because he was too shocked. He had even forgotten to scold Zhou Shuyun.

Ruan Yang didn’t speak. She was feeling almost the same way he was feeling. She had always thought that this Zhou Shuyun was just someone who had a one-sided crush on Xin Ziao. So the two of them had actually been together and even had sex before.

It really felt as though she had just swallowed a fly.

The two of them went downstairs silently. The sun shone on them and Ruan Yang finally found her voice. She said, “I didn’t think that it was like this. I misunderstood you previously. I’m sorry.”
