Huo Jincheng stared at her, his gaze deeper and colder than the night, a night devoid of any stars, oppressive and dull.
"Get in the car."
He didn't want to discuss this topic.
Jian Yunong remained standing in place, unmoving. Huo Jincheng turned back to see her, his tone harsh, "What? Do I need to ask you to get in the car?"
"Huo Jincheng, every time, every time something comes up about Bai Ru, you act like this." Jian Yunong sighed inwardly, "Don't glare at me. Even if you glare at me, I still have to say it. Just look at yourself in the mirror; you really look fierce. You're not usually like this."
"Jian Yunong." Calling her name was a sign of his anger, "Do we really have to bring up exes?"
"If it's in the past, then it shouldn't matter. If it hasn't passed, even if we don't talk about it, it's still an issue." Jian Yunong didn't actually care whether it was in the past or not; it was Huo Jincheng's current attitude that was infuriating her. "If she can always affect your emotions like this, shouldn't you think about where the problem lies? I thought if something was truly in the past, it wouldn't make you so moody like when you just broke up!"
Huo Jincheng got out of the car, his gaze passing over Jian Yunong. His voice was carried by the wind to her ears, "Wait for me in the car."
"Okay."
Jian Yunong calmly opened the car door. "Go take a look; I don't want you to come home still like this."
Huo Jincheng didn't turn back, his tall figure disappearing after entering the hospital's main gate.
Jian Yunong slowly exhaled a breath of frustration.
Humans are complex emotional beings.
She really hoped that Huo Jincheng would no longer be affected by Bai Ruying, so she encouraged him to face the matter. However, when she actually saw him go inside, she sat alone in the car, and the entire parking lot was empty. This feeling was a bit strange.
It felt somewhat like being abandoned by the whole world.
Jian Yunong leaned against the car window, feeling a bit tired, and chose to close her eyes to rest.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the car window.
Jian Yunong opened her eyes abruptly; it wasn't Huo Jincheng but Le Yi.
She opened the car door and got out. "What's wrong?"
At this time, pregnant women were still working in the hospital. Thinking of her aunt, who went to bed at ten o'clock every day without fail, she couldn't help but realize that she had to sleep because Ji Shaoli was watching over her and had taken away all communication tools that could connect Mist Shenshen with the outside world.
"Are you really okay with letting my Third Brother go in?" Le Yi's eyes were filled with sarcasm, and the words that had been suppressed in her heart burst out with anger. "Jian Yunong, do you still love Yi Nansheng?"
Jian Yunong was baffled. "Le Yi, are you okay?"
The more Le Yi looked at Jian Yunong, the more she felt that she was scheming. "You still love Yi Nansheng, right? That's why you don't care whether my Third Brother is good to other women or not. You think it's fine for him to pay attention to his ex; you can understand that pretty well. It's actually because there's still a place for your Ex-Boyfriend in your heart, isn't it?"
Seeing that Jian Yunong didn't respond, Le Yi couldn't help but sneer. "I hit the nail on the head; you have nothing to say now?"
Jian Yunong nodded. "Yeah, I really have nothing to say. I don't know what to say to you. At the same time, I also don't want to talk to you."
"Have you been seducing Yi Nansheng all along?" Le Yi became increasingly agitated, feeling that this possibility was the most likely. It must have been Jian Yunong who gave Yi Nansheng hints, which is why Yi Nansheng insisted on getting a divorce, and why Third Brother pressured her to divorce. "Did you make Yi Nansheng get a divorce? Third Brother wouldn't divorce you, so you made Yi Nansheng divorce to wait for you? Now you're constantly persuading Third Brother to get involved with his ex-girlfriend?"
Jian Yunong seemed to grasp something. "You and Yi Nansheng are divorced?"
Le Yi suddenly paused. "You didn't know?"
In the next moment, she laughed, coldly, with a mocking tone. "Jian Yunong, you really are impressive. I underestimated you, this so-called Cinderella. Playing innocent is your specialty, right? You only look so foolish on the surface, but in reality, you've gotten everything. No one is as capable as you. What do you have that makes Yi Nansheng unable to forget you for so many years? I've done so much for him, yet he can't see it!"
"Crazy," Jian Yunong said, her thin lips curling slightly as she spat out three words filled with disdain.
Le Yi glared at her. "Jian Yunong, do you dare insult me?"
"Then should I praise you? Are you sick? Look at yourself; if you can't get what you want, it's the world's fault, but never yours? Instead of asking me—someone who doesn't know the situation—why don't you go ask Yi Nansheng why he doesn't love you?"
Jian Yunong's attitude towards Le Yi had always been complex. She used to pity Le Yi for being ruthless in love, but now that pity had turned into dislike. No one likes someone who constantly uses scheming to speculate about others; all normal actions could be interpreted by her as having ulterior motives.
"Then how do you explain this photo!" Le Yi shouted while holding her phone, trembling with anger. "Why should I be forced to divorce? It takes two to tango; why can you still stay in the Huo Family? If anyone should leave, it should be you! Why do I have to get a divorce?"
The photo Le Yi held was one of Jian Yunong and Yi Nansheng embracing each other. The person who took the photo really knew how to find angles; what was clearly a polite hug looked like an intimate kiss between lovers from this picture.
"You listen to me explain..."
Le Yi swung her hand and slapped Jian Yunong across the face, the sound crisp and loud, leaving half of Jian Yunong's face numb.
Covering her cheeks, Jian Yunong looked down at the shadow on the ground. Le Yi's round belly cast a smooth, rounded silhouette. "Since we broke up, it's impossible for us to go back to how things were. I have no desire to return to the past. Because a missed opportunity is just that—a missed opportunity, even if I understand the reasons behind our past mistakes. Why am I telling you all this?"
Jian Yunong's voice carried a hint of cold laughter. "With our differing worldviews, I actually tried to make you think from my perspective. I can't even comprehend why you always assume the worst in people."
"You... you're actually blaming me? I really underestimated you. No wonder Auntie said you're more formidable than Bai Ru, like you've cast some spell on Third Brother."
Le Yi was infuriated by the sudden influx of messages on her phone.
Now she had to pin the blame squarely on Jian Yunong.
Otherwise, who else could she blame?
Huo Jincheng was more assertive than her, and Yi Nansheng was the one she loved. She couldn't afford to offend the former and didn't want to scold the latter, so naturally, she directed her frustration at the weakest link in this complicated relationship: Jian Yunong.
Just as Jian Yunong braced for a slap, a hand blocked Le Yi's descending arm.
Blocking Le Yi without courtesy, Huo Jincheng smiled faintly. "You have a problem; you should come and ask me what kind of spell I've been under."
Le Yi struggled, and Huo Jincheng released his grip but warned her bluntly, "You're about to become a mother; stop acting like a little princess who thinks she can boss everyone around. If your child turns out like you—quick to anger and prone to violence—I won't indulge them. You better be careful not to be as irresponsible as your parents."
Huo Jincheng's words were harsh, directly criticizing Le Yi's upbringing.
It wasn't that the Huo family failed in their teachings; it was that the Le family's genetics were lacking.
Le Yi's face instantly turned pale.
She was raised by the Huo Family, and everyone knew it, but no one dared to treat her lightly!
"I was abandoned by my parents. Is it my fault? Why blame me! I understand now, you are completely infatuated with Jian Yunong, forgetting your own family." Le Yi said angrily, hands on her hips, breathing heavily, tears streaming down her cheeks like rain. " Third Brother, why should I back down? I'm so sad! I have your biological nephew in my belly! I didn't have parents when I was a child; why should my child suffer this too? I love Yi Nansheng, and I want him!"
Crazy, Le Yi was like a madwoman, deeply in love.
Huo Jincheng frowned. "You want him? What do you have to offer him? Does he even want to be with you?"
"You won't help me! Why won't you help me? You clearly helped me before!" Le Yi pulled out a photo on her phone. "Look! Look! Why do you still want this kind of woman? There are so many women in the world! So many who like you! Why do you have to drive away the one I like and keep this seemingly innocent but actually scheming woman?"
Huo Jincheng snatched Le Yi's phone away. The sender was an unknown number. He sneered, "You're emotionally unstable right now. Go home and rest. After a good sleep, think about how many foolish things you've done today."
"I can't sleep!"
Le Yi shot a hateful glare at Jian Yunong. "Are you still protecting her? Why are you protecting her?"
"Because she owes you nothing! No one owes you anything! The ones who owe you are your parents! I've already hurt her for your sake once! Do you want me to hurt her again? Le Yi, just admit it, Yi Nansheng doesn't love you! Not loving you doesn't need a reason; in your current state, no one could possibly like you!"
Huo Jincheng suppressed his anger. "Get in the car! I'll take you home!"
"I want to tell Auntie! I want to tell her that you're bullying me, that you're bullying me for an outsider!"
Le Yi went to find her phone, only to discover it in Huo Jincheng's hand. "Give me back my phone!"
Huo Jincheng looked down at her from above. "Give it to you? So the whole world can revolve around you?"
"I'm pregnant, and you still want to bully me?" Le Yi furrowed her brows tightly, covering her belly. "It hurts... it really hurts..."
Huo Jincheng stepped forward to support her but was pushed away.
"I don't need your fake kindness!"
Le Yi said resentfully.
Huo Jincheng pressed down on her directly. "That's great, if the child is gone, then you won't have any ties with that kind of man!"
Le Yi suddenly fell silent.
If a relationship cannot return to what it once was, all she could do was hold onto their existing connection—the child in her belly.
Huo Jincheng and Le Yi entered the hospital.
Jian Yunong went to the public phone booth outside the hospital to call Yi Nansheng, saying that Le Yi was very unstable emotionally and asked him to come over and take a look.
