135: Chapter 139: Past Fate (7) 135: Chapter 139: Past Fate (7) One second, two seconds, ten seconds, thirty seconds, a minute passed, and his forehead was beaded with sweat.
He didn’t dare to move, didn’t even push Cheng Tingting away as she snuggled into his arms, but just watched Jian Anning anxiously.
And Jian Anning, she simply withdrew her gaze indifferently, smiled, turned, and walked away.
After that, he never saw Jian Anning again.
It wasn’t that he was completely unaware of her whereabouts.
He heard that she had a period of time when she lived a “colorful” life.
Not only was she a regular at various banquets and parties, but also, she was surrounded by a variety of men and seemingly “welcomed all comers”.
He felt pain, but beyond this pain, there seemed to be a strange hope—maybe after she became as “tarnished” as he was, she would tire of the lifestyle and return to him?
Meanwhile, it seemed that Cheng Tingting, perhaps feeling that her sister had lost interest in Lu Jiayuan, started to drift away from him after having her fun.
He later watched her flirting with another blond, handsome guy in a bar, and he just looked on coldly, without feeling any discomfort in his heart.
Later, he heard that Jian Anning had gone to Las Vegas and returned with her previous bad reputation completely wiped away.
But she was not the same quiet and shy girl he had first met.
She became cheerful, confident, and could easily mingle with the people around her.
The only similarity was—that she no longer had those messy men around her.
It was as if Jian Anning, after going through everything, had transformed from a piece of uncut jade into a precious gem.
And beside her, there was no longer a need for him, nor would there be his presence again…
Faced with the astronomical cost of medical expenses, he was almost crushed.
And it was at this time, seeing that her sister had lost interest in him and that he had accumulated huge medical debts for his mother’s treatment, Cheng Tingting decisively and swiftly broke up with him.
For his mother’s ongoing medical expenses, he joined the newly reorganized Huasi Movie Company in Hollywood, working day and night on film sets, and gradually, favored by the company’s boss, rose to middle management.
The American TV series he shot were very well received, and from there, he began to gain fame and success.
As his career gradually became successful, different women of various skin colors and styles began to surround him.
Some were hot and glamorous, some innocent and sweet, some enchantingly seductive.
He had tried dating these women, but invariably, he would lose interest in them within a very short period of time.
No matter how beautiful, how enchanting, or how obedient, they were not her.
But now, he had no face to look for her.
Over time, he also began to understand the complexities of Jian Anning’s family and slowly came to realize the true nature of Cheng Tingting.
She was not the innocent and harmless little girl who liked to act spoiled and wilful in front of him.
She was calculating and very unfriendly toward Jian Anning.
He had misjudged her, mistaking the fish-eye for a pearl, not only accusing Jian Anning of being petty but also betraying her….
