A BITTER LIFE

PART 41

"Did he tell you?" Liying asked in confusion. Lay smiled. "My fiancé told me, and he said Yibo told him," Lay replied teasingly. "I don't believe you!" Liying snapped, anger flaring as she continued to convince herself that Yibo would never leave her.

Meanwhile, Eros and Gu Wei exchanged intense glances as they continued their game. Yibo tightened his grip on Gu Wei's waist to prevent him from falling off the chair they were standing on. But before the game ended, they lost because they didn't notice Liying approaching. She pushed the two, thinking Gu Wei would get hurt. However, Eros hugged Gu Wei tightly, so he wasn't hurt, but Yibo's arm was injured, though he didn't notice as their lips met.

Furious, Liying approached them and shoved Gu Wei, accusing him of trying to steal his husband. Lay helped Gu Wei to his feet. "Are you hurt?" Lay asked with concern. Gu Wei shook his head. "I'm fine," he replied, glancing at Yibo before quickly looking away from the still-prone Eros.

"Let's go," Gu Wei said to Lay, but before they could take a step, Liying grabbed him, ignoring the stares from the crowd around them. "I'm not done with you yet! Listen up, everyone! Did you know that this man is trying to seduce my husband?" She glared at Gu Wei, and Yibo stood up. The people around them were looking at Gu wei as if they were judging him from head to toe.

"Liying, he's not seducing anyone, and he's not stealing anything from you. I'm divorcing you, so don't make me list your wrongdoings here in front of everyone. If you do, you'll be the talk of the town. You've lost all sense of shame, bringing your behavior even here," Eros said angrily.

"Why do you always defend that homewrecker? Ever since he showed up, we've been ruined!" Liying shouted.

Yibo laughed. "Ruined?" But before Yibo could continue, they heard Gu Wei's voice on the microphone. "I didn't want to stoop to her level because she has a mental illness, but I just want to say that this woman stole his brother's husband!" Liying's eyes widened, and the people around them glared at her, the same way they looked at Gu Wei earlier.

"Because of her mental illness, she believes whatever's in her head and not the truth. If any of you here have ever had your spouse stolen or been deceived, I've got a game for you," Gu Wei said, causing the crowd to look at him curiously and excitedly.

"In this game, you'll throw something at her," Gu Wei said, pointing at Liying, who suddenly turned pale. Liying was well-known in the business world, so a few people in the crowd recognized her. "Who's going to throw first?" Gu Wei asked, but no one had the courage. Gu Wei smirked.

"Fine, I'll go first," he said, picking up a water balloon. The balloon burst, soaking Liying. Before she could react, someone else threw one, then another, and another, until Liying's clothes were drenched.

Eros and Lay stood watching Liying, making no move to help her. Liying couldn't hold back her tears, unable to accept the humiliation Gu Wei had inflicted on her, making her a laughingstock.

"Okay, guys, that's enough! Hahaha," Gu Wei said, laughing.

"How does it feel to have the tables turned?" Gu Wei asked mockingly. "If you don't stop bothering me, I'll marry that man you're obsessed with to make your words come true," he added while smiling, handing the microphone to the emcee. Liying shouted in frustration, calling out Yibo's name, but he just stared at her. "Provoke him more so he'll marry me," Eros told Liying, turning his gaze back to Gu Wei, who glared at him. Before Eros could speak, Gu Wei stepped forward and pulled Lay along with him.

When Liying saw Eros following them, she ran, not caring about her wet clothes or the people watching, focused only on not letting Yibo go. Liying hugged Yibo from behind. "Honey, why are we like this?" she asked, crying. Yibo removed her hands, and as soon as he was free, he ran towards Gu Wei and Lay, who were walking hand in hand.

Liying tried to follow, but the crowd that had been watching earlier blocked her path and started throwing things at her again.

Meanwhile, when Eros caught up with Gu Wei and Lay, he grabbed Gu Wei's hand, ignoring the fact that Lay was holding Gu Wei's other hand. Gu Wei glared at him angrily.

"What is your problem, Mr. Wang? Isn't it enough that you've ruined our date? Why don't you take your crazy wife home?" he said angrily. "Can I be with you, I mean, can we talk alone?" Yibo asked, staring directly into Gu Wei's eyes.

"What else is there to talk about? Can't you see I'm with my fiancé?" Lay interjected. "Yibo, please respect me or at least our relationship," he said firmly. "I'm not talking to you, so could you please stay quiet?" Yibo retorted angrily. "I can't stay quiet because we're talking about my fiancé here," Lay said, gripping Gu Wei's hand tightly.

Eros suddenly fell silent. After a few seconds, he spoke again. "Let me be with him this one last time, and I promise I won't bother you anymore," Eros said, secretly smirking. Gu Wei looked at Lay. "Let's just let him so he won't bother us anymore. By the way, I also want us to have a formal engagement," Gu Wei said. Yibo's eyes widened, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on Gu Wei's hand.

"Mr. Wang, you're hurting me," Gu Wei said, and Yibo immediately loosened his grip. Gu Wei turned back to Lay. "You go on ahead; we'll meet at home, and we can discuss where to hold our engagement party," he said, kissing Lay on the cheek. "Okay, take care, and call me if you need anything," Lay replied, hugging Gu Wei, completely ignoring Yibo, who was still holding Gu Wei's hand.

As Yibo watched them, it felt as if his heart was being pierced for reasons he couldn't understand, so he averted his gaze.

"I'll wait for you," Lay said before leaving. Yibo, still holding Gu Wei's hand, pulled him in a different direction.

Meanwhile, Liying sat down, calling out Yibo's name. When she saw Yibo and Gu Wei leaving together, she called out his name even louder, but instead of Yibo turning around, it was Gu Wei who gave her a meaningful look as Yibo pulled him away.
