Lin Yixun suddenly smiled bitterly, "Can you really not care about my past at all?"
"Lin Yixun, I’ve said it before, I don’t care what you were like in the past, I only care about you now, the present Lin Yixun."
"Heh, really? You can not care that I was once married, not care that I worked in entertainment venues, even not care who I have slept with, but what about your parents, your family and friends? Can they accept everything about me like you do?" Lin Yixun stepped back, with red eyes, "No, which parent in the world doesn’t wish for their child to marry a girl with a clean background? Which parent in the world doesn’t wish for their future daughter-in-law to have a clean family history?"
And she, whether it was herself or her family background, was enough to make people avoid her.
Ouyang Hao opened his mouth but had no strength to refute. Lin Yixun smiled weakly, see, even Ouyang Hao himself was very clear, her past was an insurmountable barrier between them.
"Ouyang Hao, let’s not see each other anymore in the future, let’s just... let’s just pretend we’ve never met." Lin Yixun smiled as she turned away, but tears slipped down her cheeks at the moment of turning.
She thought she could remain indifferent, thought her heart had turned to ashes, but what was that cold liquid on her face? It turned out that unknowingly, her heart had been moved by the man behind her, but she had to bury this feeling that didn’t belong to her.
How she wished time could rewind to five years ago, back when she was still the high and mighty mayor’s daughter, back when she was in her prime; if she had met Ouyang Hao then, maybe everything would have been different.
But, in this world, there is never an "if", only outcomes. The outcome was that she fell in love with Leng Yixiu, the outcome was she threw herself into a loveless marriage like a moth to a flame, the outcome was that she became so undeserving, without even the basic right to pursue happiness.
Ouyang Hao helplessly watched Lin Yixun’s departing figure, but he didn’t even have a reason to make her stay; Lin Yixun was right, her past was the largest obstacle between them.
Just as Lin Yixun and Xiao Mu had said, even if he could unconditionally accept Lin Yixun’s past, getting his parents’ approval would be difficult.
But letting go, Ouyang Hao simply couldn’t do it.
After Lin Yixun left, Ouyang Hao made a call to Mu Chen. Mu Chen was a bit surprised to receive Ouyang Hao’s call, all the rumors about this guy had been flying around lately, he shouldn’t be able to spare any time to call him.
"Buddy, calling me early in the morning, what’s up? Have you been enjoying yourself these days?" At this point, Mu Chen still couldn’t help but tease Ouyang Hao.
Ouyang Hao couldn’t be bothered to chit-chat, he went straight to the point, "I need you to investigate something."
"What is it, as long as you say the word, I guarantee I’ll get it done properly,"
"Lin Yixun’s past." Ouyang Hao paused for a moment and added, "As detailed as possible."
"You really want detailed information? Buddy, you better think it over." Actually, finding out Lin Yixun’s past wasn’t difficult for Mu Chen, he was only worried that the information he provided would be too detailed for Ouyang Hao to handle.
