Chapter 1047 A Person's Love

Helian Wei Wei did not interrupt Lan Ya when she heard her answer. Instead, she gestured to her to continue her story.Lan Ya took a long, deep breath. Her fingers were stiff and her voice was slightly hoarse as she began explaining, "Both of us are from influential families, and we have known each other since we're young. In the beginning, we were very close to each other. Although I'm one year older than him, he always took care of me. We grew up in the same Main Compound. When we were young, we liked to gather in a group of friends. He would treat me as his best brother, bringing me everywhere and telling me everything. But, I didn't want to be his brother because I really love him very much. Later, when the Chen family fell into crisis, my family tried our best to help them stay afloat."

Without pausing, she continued, "After Uncle Chen was admitted to the hospital, the responsibility as the head of the family fell on his shoulders. As if he had evolved overnight, he wanted to give up on medicine and do business instead. He even wanted to drop out of school and follow his uncle to do business in Shenzhen. I knew the reason he made these decisions was to earn a lot of money within a short period of time. I also knew how happy he was when he talked about his work as a doctor. As such, I brought all my money to him and told him that he could have everything he wanted if he agreed to be in a relationship with me. I might be the most despicable person ever, as I knew his weakness and I used the opportunity to get him."

"He did not agree at first. However, without knowing what happened, he signed the contract after he became drunk and slept with me. I would do my very best to get him a job in the hospital, and he will stay by my side for three years. The contract would no longer be effective once three years have passed. I could not forget how he looked at me coldly and emotionlessly at that moment but luckily, he agreed. That's how I fooled myself and everyone in a relationship with him."

She further elaborated, "Everyone thought that the Chen family would most probably collapse. Fortunately, my father did not give up on making connections in the industry. Additionally, the political situation had undergone a transformation. Not only did Uncle Chen recover well, he even turned his misfortune into opportunity, and his business skyrocketed in revenue in just half a year. So, he clearly told me that he wanted to rescind the contract with a lot of money. However, he doesn't understand how important the contract is to me. I selfishly thought that I should have him longer since he had not fallen for anyone yet. Therefore, I refused his proposal. Maybe he had despised me a long time ago, and he would avoid me when he saw me. Truly, this proves that the person that does not belong to you will never be yours."

"At the beginning of this year, I knew that I should let him go when he first saw Xiao Ziqiu. I hated the version of myself from that time – constantly afraid that he would go out and eat with Xiao Ziqiu, or appear in the same news with her. I had a hard time, and I started to get angry. I endlessly reminded him that the contract had ended yet, while he merely glared at me like I was a heap of rubbish. Perhaps, this is the punishment given by God to me for my wishful thinking. He would fall for someone else anyway. But, why did I try to stop him from seeking happiness, even though I just want him to be happy?" Tears rolled down her cheeks as Lan Ya mumbled, "I really gave up when Xiao Ziqiu appeared. I've told myself to let go but I don't know why am I still here?"

"Do you still love him?" Helian Wei Wei replied affirmatively, as she raised her head to look at Lan Ya.

Lan Ya answered with a yes. Her throat began to hurt as she muttered, "So did I trap him? If that's the case, please destroy me completely and crush my soul. I don't want to stay like this anymore. In his eyes, maybe I'm a truly disgusting person. However, it's a miserable fact that I could not change anymore. The person has stayed by my side ever since I was born. I used a very malicious way to make him stay with me because I was afraid that he would leave one day. I've seen their photos, the way he looked at her, his eyes were filled with an undying love. Now that he has found his one true love, I don't want to waste his time anymore."
