Two hours later, the doorbell was pressed.
Lin Fan, dressed in a bathrobe, opened the door and saw Li Huizhen standing uncomfortably at the doorway.
Dressed in a black long dress, she was still so beautiful, but without affection, Lin Fan saw only disgust on her delicate features. If it weren’t for Li Huifang’s repeated requests, he really wouldn’t want to see her at all.
Lin Fan stepped back into the living room and sat on the sofa, while looking at the luxurious grand apartment with high-end decoration, Li Huizhen still couldn’t believe all this was real. After all, just over a month ago, Lin Fan was renting an old-fashioned two-bedroom flat in an old building.
"Is this a new apartment you’ve rented?"
Li Huizhen put on slippers and stepped into the spacious, bright living room, but the black silk on the sofa was so eye-catching.
Lin Fan lit a cigarette and took a deep breath before saying, "What kind of wind blew you over here today?"
"Lin Fan, I’m sorry, I was too heartless before... It’s just that I also had my difficulties..."
Looking at Lin Fan’s indifferent expression, Li Huizhen hurriedly pleaded in a low voice.
"I didn’t ask you here to understand your difficulties, and you don’t need to share your sorrows with me. When you packed your things and left, our relationship was completely over, so there’s no need to seek any comfort from me."
Lin Fan took a drag on his cigarette, slowly exhaled, and then said, "If you’ve got something to say, just say it. Don’t talk about anything else."
"My sister, Hui Fang, is a junior this year and needs to start her internship... I wonder if you could help arrange for my sister to intern at City Hospital..."
Li Huizhen was utterly unprepared for Lin Fan’s cold-heartedness and could only smooth back her hair and speak softly.
"I can handle her matter, you don’t need to worry about it."
Lin Fan snuffed out his cigarette and spoke coldly.
Li Huizhen took a deep breath, never expecting Lin Fan to agree so readily.
"You don’t need to thank me. I’m not doing this for you. After all, we don’t have any relationship anymore. I’m just repaying her for treating me like a human being when everyone else in your family looked down on me with disdain, so don’t be so moved. Haven’t you heard the saying, ’An ex is less than a dog’?"
Lin Fan didn’t even want to glance at Li Huizhen and her discomfort was obvious. She knew all too well how much her family had scorned Lin Fan before, and this luxurious spacious apartment was the greatest blow to her.
"Lin Fan, I know you hate my heartlessness. I don’t want to make excuses, but when you had nothing, I still moved into that dilapidated old building with you. Although I hated the countryside, I still went with you back home. Everyone else got picked up by luxury cars after work, yet I still rode your little electric scooter... "
Li Huizhen wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, "Yes, in the end, I couldn’t resist the temptation and left you because I wanted a stable life, not to be woken up by the flushing sound from upstairs in the middle of the night, not to worry every time the underwear drying on the balcony might be stolen, not to be scared of every knock on the door and the endless stomping sounds from upstairs."
"So, do you now have the stable life you wanted?"
Lin Fan, with his legs crossed, looked at Li Huizhen. Clearly, after being dumped by Guo Baoming, probably no one at the TV station dared to touch her again. Firstly, if someone else had the keys, they could use your car anytime, who could guarantee that she wouldn’t contact Guo Baoming in the future, and secondly, with such a character who despised the poor and loved the rich, how many could accept her? So her fate could only be quite miserable.
"Do I look like I have it? I was just a pawn played by others. Of course, I accept the outcome. It was my fault that I couldn’t resist the temptation and deserted you for wealth but at least I stuck with the relationship for over a year. You have every right to hate me, but this time I truly thank you."
Li Huizhen dried her tears and said, "Seeing you live in a nice apartment with a pretty girlfriend, to tell the truth, I’m envious of her. After all, it’s a life I never even dared dream of. I wish you well, you’re bound to have even better prospects."
After speaking, Li Huizhen bowed deeply to Lin Fan and turned towards the door. The moment she pushed the door open, she wished Lin Fan would call out to her or pull her into the house, but all that was just her imagination. Lin Fan was still sitting on the sofa, without moving an inch.
In the end, the door closed, and Lin Fan, leaning on the sofa, took a deep breath and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching Li Huizhen go downstairs, mount an electric scooter, and ride away. This scene made him frown slightly.
"What are you looking at?"
Li Huifang, barefoot and wearing Lin Fan’s shirt, came out and directly hugged his waist from behind.
Her cheeks, nurtured by affection, were rosy and more beautiful.
"Just watching your sister not even managing to bag herself a car. Isn’t this called getting her just deserts?"
