Bai Yiran stared at them in a daze, and after a while, she laughed incredulously, "Bai Qianyu, what are you saying? Luo Chen, tell me what Bai Qianyu is saying?"
Bai Yiran’s eyes looked at Luo Chen, with a gaze full of expectation, fear, and disappointment. Luo Chen felt very guilty being looked at by Bai Yiran. This matter was his fault towards Bai Yiran, but it had already happened. He had to take responsibility for Bai Qianyu, and he really wanted to study abroad.
"Yes! Qianyu and I are together now, let’s break up!" Luo Chen’s words were decisive.
Bai Yiran felt as if she had been stabbed by Luo Chen. The boyfriend she loved wholeheartedly was now with her half-sister. He knew the relationship between her and Bai Qianyu, knew her hatred towards Bai Qianyu, yet still chose to be with her. This fragile and unbearable love, then what was all her previous effort for!
Moreover, all of this happened without any warning, suddenly occurring in front of everyone...
"Luo Chen... you’re lying to me, aren’t you?" Pea-sized tears streamed down from Bai Yiran’s beautiful eyes; everything happened so suddenly that her mind couldn’t process it.
The crowd of onlookers grew larger, and Bai Qianyu felt especially delighted! Seeing Bai Yiran in such a wretched state was Bai Qianyu’s greatest pleasure!
"Bai Yiran, nothing you say now matters! Luo Chen is mine!" Saying this, Bai Qianyu pulled Luo Chen to leave, deliberately bumping into Bai Yiran’s shoulder as they passed by, knocking her off balance.
Bai Yiran watched the two walk away. She wanted to chase after them, to pull Bai Qianyu’s hair, but she had no strength left... For the first time, Bai Yiran felt completely useless...
The city’s night streets were still bustling. Bai Yiran walked aimlessly down the street. She didn’t want to go home; she was in a bad mood and didn’t want her grandmother and uncles to see her like this. Yet, she didn’t know where she could go, and for the first time, she pathetically realized that she didn’t even have a friend to vent to.
The late autumn weather was very cold, and almost everyone on the street was wearing coats, except Bai Yiran, who was still in that formal dress. The coldness in her heart seemed to make her numb to the chill in the air.
Unknowingly, Bai Yiran found herself in front of a fountain, the lights of which were dazzling. Bai Yiran looked around and realized it was the fountain in front of a hotel. The hotel looked grand, with doormen at the entrance holding doors and carrying luggage for guests, clearly a high-class establishment.
Over the years, Bai Yiran had been working almost constantly to earn money for Luo Chen’s study abroad plan, leaving no time to enjoy life or herself. Thinking about it now, how ridiculous she had been, mistreating herself for such a man?
Bai Yiran clutched her bag tightly, her eyes fixed on the hotel. From now on, she would no longer shortchange herself. She would love herself, indulge, and spend money!
Rather than say Leng Yichen was staying at the hotel, it would be more accurate to say he was hiding there. His aunt, who was also Yu Bin’s mother, had recently been overly concerned about his lifelong matters, always trying to place a woman by his side, which made him especially troubled. Leng Yichen couldn’t treat Yu Bin’s mother like an outsider, so he had no choice but to stay at the hotel.
