“You can’t blame me for misunderstanding. Back then when Yanchen returned, he was extremely dejected and had locked himself in the house, looking as though everyone he saw was his enemy. That sight broke my heart… Toward this first love of his, I always thought that she was the one who had hurt and dumped him, or perhaps did something to let him down. From the bottom of my heart, I berated her. And in any case, I just really disliked that first love of his. Therefore, when I found out that you were that first love, it was really difficult for me to accept that fact, and the blow was way too big. So, I pretended that I was sick and even snatched Yanchen’s phone away. That’s the reason why we didn’t turn up or pick up the call, or even reply to you in any manner. I’m really sorry, it’s all my fault! If you want someone to get angry at, do it at me. Just please don’t blame Yanchen!”
Shi Guang’s face gradually drained of color as her hands were shivering uncontrollably.
She WAS, in fact, the one who had hurt him back then.
It couldn’t be any more normal for Mother Lu to blame her over it.
Once she knew that she was the girl who had hurt Lu Yanchen back then, it was only natural that she would not want them getting together.
How could Shi Guang find it in herself to get angry at them?
“I’m sorry, auntie!” Shi Guang spoke in a soft voice, quivering as though it could dissipate at any moment.
Shen Lingshuang was polite once more. “N-Nono…! Yanchen has already told me everything, that the reason why you guys broke up was because he had quarreled with you, and his prideful character refused to make the apology first, resulting in the eventual breakup. That son of mine, really… He’s good at everything except that he’s just… too proud.”
She thought about how he told her that Shi Guang did not let him down and that they had merely quarreled over something insignificant… Let down? He was the one who had let her down by dumping her. The thought of that caused Shen Lingshuang’s chest to feel somewhat stuffy.
Shi Guang looked at her blankly, unable to comprehend.
To think that he would have told Mother Lu that they had broken up because of a mere argument, and that it was all his fault!
Was it because that man was way too proud or that he had loved her too much that he was willing to shoulder all the blame instead of letting anyone tarnish her image in the slightest bit?
Shi Guang felt as though she was about to crumble and break down after the chain of events that had happened today.
And right now, the words of Shen Lingshuang had her mind going all fuzzy.
Her eyes felt hot and steamy, turning red as she said, “Auntie, I’d like to look for Yanchen.”
“He should be in the apartment…”
Shi Guang stood up immediately.
Looking at her turning around and wanting to leave, Mrs. Lu reached out and tugged at her. “Hold on, Shi Guang!”
After getting Shi Guang to sit down once more, she pulled out a red accessory box from her bag.
She then pushed it in front of Shi Guang. “This, is something you must accept.”
“What is it?”
“Open it and take a look.”
Shi Guang looked at Shen Lingshuang before opening it slowly.
It was a bedazzling pink diamond necklace, every single bead the size of a longan and strung together with a platinum chain. It looked sweet and elegant, and a single glance was enough to tell that it was definitely astronomically expensive.
Shi Guang felt as though she was holding onto a hot potato on her hands. “This…”
Shen Lingshuang smiled at her warmly. “This was what I had intended to give to you at your place today. But in the end… In any case, it was all my fault today. Could you please forgive me and not get angry at me?”
Shi Guang closed the necklace box, hugging it in her embrace and looking at Shen Lingshuang. “I’m not angry at you. On the contrary, I must thank you! If not for what you had told me, I never would have known…”
