Chapter 99 -99: Easy to Get Lost
“You’re not young anymore, how can you act so indiscriminately? What does Ye Yuli canceling the engagement have to do with me? I went abroad to be Ye Sihan’s personal assistant, it was he who forced me to go, as if I was eager for that!” Tang Yu was also emotional.
She respected Lin Shuhuan, but how did Lin Shuhuan treat her?
It was getting more and more unreasonable!
“Back then, your mother just claimed to be a nurse for Ye Xianghua, but how did she end up in his bed? And how did she kill Zhao Xing?” Lin Shuhuan was so filled with hatred that she was grinding her teeth, “They’re all shameless and despicable creatures!”
Just as Tang Yu was about to rebut, Yu Zhaohui appeared, pinching her voice and sashaying her hips, “I was wondering who was squawking over here, it’s been so many years, Lin Shuhuan.”
Tang Yu looked at Yu Zhaohui, who was carrying a thermal lunch box, and couldn’t help frowning. She had told her not to come to the set, so why didn’t she listen?
And when Lin Shuhuan caught sight of Yu Zhaohui, her hatred deepened and her eyes reddened.
“You coming here to bully my daughter doesn’t seem so nice, does it?” Yu Zhaohui’s voice was sarcastic, “Zhao Xing’s death was her bad luck, don’t be like a mad dog, biting around aimlessly.”
“You!” Lin Shuhuan was so angry that her chest heaved.
Yu Zhaohui turned around gracefully and said gently to Tang Yu, “I’m sorry I’m late, my dear. It’s just as well the boxed lunch fell to the ground, you can have the lunch I brought for you.”
Tang Yu had no appetite at the moment, with people already gathering to watch nearby.
Just as she was about to send them away, she saw Lin Shuhuan, consumed by rage, rush forward and viciously grab Yu Zhaohui’s hair—
“Ah!”
“I’ll tear you to shreds today!”
“I’m the one who will tear you to shreds!” Yu Zhaohui fought back fiercely, grabbing Lin Shuhuan’s hair in return.
“Ah, ah!”
Tang Yu watched the two scuffle together, wanting to break it up but not knowing how to intervene, “Stop fighting! Stop fighting!”
But it was as if the two of them were deaf, pulling hair and scratching faces, using every dirty trick in the book.
There was a clear intent not to stop until the other was taken down.
Tang Yu couldn’t stand by any longer and was prepared to forcefully separate them.
However, as she moved closer, her wrist was grabbed, and she was pulled aside—
“Ah! What are you doing? You…” Tang Yu looked up and when she saw Ye Yuli’s face, she forgot to struggle.
She was dragged into a secluded area of the woods.
Tang Yu angrily shook off his hand, “What do you think you’re doing? They’re fighting!” And she turned to leave.
She couldn’t let them keep fighting, especially if someone captured it on video and it ended up online.
“Don’t worry about your mom, my mom won’t lose,” Ye Yuli’s indifferent voice came through.
Tang Yu stopped in her tracks, looking at him in bewilderment.
She thought, that’s something you should be concerned about, right? How can you even say such a thing?
“Sorry,” Ye Yuli said.
Tang Yu turned her face away, “If you really want to apologize, then stop letting them bother me. Since you’re here, I actually want to know what you think, why did you cancel the engagement with Zhou Qinghua? Saying it was caused by me is laughable, you should clarify it with them!”
Ye Yuli watched her annoyed and impatient face and asked, “I betrayed you, am I condemned to Hell now?”
That was true, but Tang Yu found his tone odd and looked at him.
The expression in his eyes made her pause.
They were no longer aloof and calm but focused and deep.
Familiar, as if she was seeing Ye Yuli from the past again, who was always forgiving and protective of her.
In her mind, she suddenly remembered what Li Xue had told her about the scene she had witnessed at the police station.
No, what proof was that?
At best, it showed that Ye Yuli felt guilty for involving her.
“Ye Yuli, don’t tell me you really canceled the engagement because of me.” Tang Yu found it incredibly ridiculous and amusing. “You were the one who betrayed me in the beginning, and I’ve forgiven you now. From now on, we’re strangers. You understand that, right?”
Ye Yuli didn’t speak but walked aside, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it.
Tang Yu felt alienated watching his long fingers holding the cigarette.
“When did you learn to smoke?” she asked involuntarily.
In the two years she knew Ye Yuli, he didn’t smoke; he always smelled of the fresh scent she liked.
“You remember?”
Tang Yu didn’t speak; she didn’t want to remember at all.
But… the impression was too deep.
After all, Ye Yuli was her first love…
“You’ll learn it over time, it’s very easy,” Ye Yuli’s face, amidst the spreading smoke, looked even more brooding. “When did you come back?”
“None of your business,” Tang Yu didn’t want to reply.
Ye Yuli turned his face, looking straight at her, “I want to leave Kyoto, shall we go together? We… can go back to how it used to be.”
That made Tang Yu angry, “What do you take me for? You betray me when you don’t want me, and you beckon when you do, that’s simply disgusting! When you betrayed me, it was already…”
“I didn’t touch her.”
Tang Yu was taken aback by the interruption and understood what he meant, “What do you mean?”
“After you saw us, I told that woman to get lost.”
Tang Yu looked puzzled, “So you’re saying, you deliberately brought a woman to make a scene for me to see? Why?”
Ye Yuli didn’t speak.
At that time, with his father having recently passed away and his mother threatening to commit suicide, he could only say they should break up temporarily.
He thought he would go find her after resolving the problems.
As a result, she didn’t even go to school anymore and vanished completely.
However, from Tang Yu’s perspective, such reasons would only make her feel undervalued.
“Ye Yuli, are you out of your mind? Do you think I’ll believe your lies just because you say so?” Tang Yu was furious. “Stay away from me, and keep your family away from me!”
After speaking, she walked away.
But her arm was suddenly seized, and Tang Yu struggled fiercely, “Ye Yuli, let go of me!”
Ye Yuli let go of her arm, “Let’s forget the past; everything else is true. Let’s leave Kyoto together. Once we’re out of Ye Sihan’s control, it’s your freedom to choose how you want to live.”
“So you just want to help me?” Tang Yu asked. “If that’s the case, then help the current me and deal with your mother first!”
Without facing him anymore, she turned and jogged away.
After walking for a while, she realized the route was wrong.
Tang Yu was beyond frustrated.
She hadn’t paid attention to the route on the way there, and now she wasn’t paying attention on the way back either. How was she supposed to get back?
Thinking about what Ye Yuli had said made her even more upset.
Will he really help her get away from Ye Sihan?
It’s undeniable that the offer was tempting, but she was conflicted about whether or not to compromise with her scumbag ex-boyfriend.
On second thought, forget it.
Isn’t she trying to reconcile with Ye Sihan right now? Maybe there’s a chance?
If Ye Sihan personally lets her go, wouldn’t her safety be even more assured?
Tang Yu prepared to walk down a side road—
“Not that way.”
Tang Yu looked over, Ye Yuli was leaning against a tree, arms crossed over his chest, watching her with a stern look.
“Still the same as before, easily getting lost.”
Tang Yu, looking a bit displeased, walked up to him, “You brought me to this godforsaken place, take me back now!”
Afterward, she returned to the film crew with Ye Yuli.
At the film crew, Zhaohui and Lin Shuhuan had somehow separated, but now they were still arguing, with disheveled hair and clothes, and Lin Shuhuan seemed to be in a more pitiful state.
It made sense, as Zhaohui had fought with Tang Fulin during her first marriage, more than once.
Even though she couldn’t overpower a man, she’d still fight with all her might, without fear.
Now, she wouldn’t take the physically weak Lin Shuhuan seriously.
