“I’m so stupid. I thought I found a way out, but I didn’t expect to walk into someone else’s trap.”
Tong Lu mumbled to herself. She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She clenched her fists tightly. She was shocked, and her entire body turned cold.”My step-mother might have done this to get Tong Juan into Yale. I can understand why she wants to see me suffer! Why did Shuo do this? Why did Leng Yejin do this? Why did they make a fool of me?”
“I sincerely raised Shanshan, grateful that they provided me with education and living expenses, but in the end, I found out that they had a share in causing me to be out of school. Grandma’s illness isn’t just a simple illness, how can a person’s heart be so terrifying?”
if grandma wasn’t sick, if I didn’t fail the college entrance exam, I would have gone to Yale to study. I could have completed my studies with the scholarship. I would have had a bright future and wouldn’t have been criticized. I wouldn’t have been so tired these few years.
Yin Zhan turned off the video on his phone and handed her a glass of water.
Tong Lu held the glass of water, but she could not swallow it down. She lost control of her emotions. She was sad and aggrieved. I feel like I’m a joke. I’ve been played like a fool, and I’ve been sold, but I’m still helping to count the money.
Yin Zhan sat at the side with his eyebrows slightly furrowed and his emotions hidden. He calmly looked at his younger sister, whose eyes were red. It was hard to comment without knowing the whole story. So far, he had not been able to figure out the logic of this matter. He couldn’t understand why she had been chosen and forced to seek marriage. He had to find out the motive.
“Tell me, what exactly happened back then?”
I failed my college entrance exams and my grandmother was seriously ill. That was why I fell for their trap. I noticed the marriage search and thought it was a desperate attempt to survive. After hesitating for a few days, I called the number on the advertisement. The other party was very straightforward. They arranged a time for us to consummate our marriage at Diyu hotel. After we consummated our marriage, I even signed the Marriage Registration Form. That night, the lawyer gave me a betrothal gift and a college admission Notice. At that time, I really thought that it was a blessing in disguise. Not only did I save my grandmother, but I also signed the Marriage Registration Form. You’ve also saved your studies.”
Tong Lu sobbed as she spoke. She went upstairs to retrieve her phone. As soon as she turned it on, she received a call. It was Shi Yang.
“Lulu, is what the news said true?” Shi Yang’s voice was unusually excited over the phone.”Lulu, you said that you called me a lot of times when you had no other choice, but I really didn’t pick up any of your calls. Lulu, where did you call me at that time?”
“What’s the point of saying this now?”
“How is it meaningless?” “If those things didn’t happen, if you had gotten into Yale, we might have been married and even had a child by now!” Shi Yang was filled with grief and indignation. You’ve been blaming me for not appearing by your side, haven’t you?”
She must have been blaming him all this time. If those things hadn’t happened, his beloved Lulu wouldn’t have slipped away from his hands and been taken away by that despicable and shameless Mr. Leng, and suffered so much!
“I must find out why I didn’t pick up your call at that time. Why wasn’t I by your side when you needed me the most? I even misunderstood you for betraying our love.”
“Lulu, leave Mr. Leng. He’s not worth your sacrifice. He’s not worthy! He and his brother are in cahoots!”
Tong Lu hung up the phone silently.’Did they really collude?’ Why? Was Leng Yejin that kind of person? The answer in her heart was actually no, but she couldn’t help but be afraid, because all the hair on her body stood up.
