"Why?"
"Because I can't stand your attitude towards me and Huanhuan."
"Your attitude towards me and Huanhuan makes me feel like I'm not your first choice at all."
Xiao An panicked, "Xiaoyun, how could you think that?"
I smiled lightly, "Isn't it true?"
"That day was the birthday of your and Liu Lan's cat. When I came back, I saw the three of you gathered around a cake, with Huanhuan in the middle."
"In that moment, I felt like an outsider."
"At that moment, I realized that in your heart, Huanhuan and I can never coexist."
"If that's the case, then I might as well step back."
Xiao An opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
I turned and walked away.
Xiao An was here at the headquarters for a meeting to discuss business.
As for me, I was following my dad into the executive elevator.
When Xiao An saw my dad, he clearly froze for a moment.
My dad asked me, "Xiaoyun, is this your friend?"
I shook my head, "No, we just know each other."
Upon hearing my words, Xiao An's face turned pale.
I smiled and followed my dad into the elevator.
As soon as I entered the conference room, I saw Liu Lan sitting inside.
Liu Lan looked visibly flustered when she saw me.
I smiled at her and walked over to sit beside Xiao An.
Liu Lan glared at me fiercely, as if she wanted to devour me whole.
But unfortunately for her, I wasn't afraid of her anymore.
There's a saying that goes, "Those without shoes aren't afraid of those who wear them."
Right now, I was the one without shoes, so what was there to fear?
After the meeting ended, Xiao An was waiting for me at the door.
I walked over, and he grabbed my arm.
"Xiao Yun, let me explain. It's not what you think," he said.
I pulled my arm away from him. "Xiao An, let go of me. We’ve broken up."
Xiao An held on tightly.
"Xiao Yun, listen to me. That day was my fault; I didn't consider your feelings."
"But I swear, I only love you."
I smiled lightly. "Xiao An, you say you love me, then why did you call Liu Lan on Huanhuan's birthday?"
"Were you trying to make me jealous?"
"You wanted me to be angry, to care."
"You succeeded; I really am angry. I really am jealous, and I really do care."
"But Xiao An, I don't care about you anymore, do you know that?"
"The moment you abandoned Jianjian and embraced Huanhuan, I stopped caring about you."
"Jianjian was raised by me; she’s like my child."
"You threw Jianjian away for Huanhuan—did you ever think about how I felt?"
"Did you ever consider whether I would be hurt?"
"Xiao An, I was hurt."
"When I saw you and Liu Lan wrapped in each other's arms..."
"I knew it; I mean nothing to you."
"Then why should I even be with you?"
"Xiao An, you don't deserve my love."
With that, I pushed past Xiao An and walked away briskly.
Xiao An stumbled, falling to the ground, murmuring to himself,
"Xiao Yun, it's not like that, it's not like that..."
I hurried away, afraid to look back.
I feared that if I did, my heart would soften.
My best friend's video quickly gained widespread attention, with the cat abuse footage being shared extensively.
Netizens condemned Liu Lan, and some even reported her for fraud.
Liu Lan's ex-boyfriend came forward to expose her for using his money for cosmetic surgery.
Moreover, other women claimed that Liu Lan had interfered in their families.
Liu Lan's account was permanently banned from the platform, and some even called the police, demanding she return the money she had scammed.
Now, Liu Lan was like a rat crossing the street—everyone wanted to hit her.
The attention of netizens began to shift towards Xiao An.
As Liu Lan's ex-boyfriend who was still entangled with her, Xiao An also faced the fallout.
Xiao An worked in research, relying on his reputation.
Now that his reputation was ruined, he couldn't find work and struggled to afford food.
Xiao An's life became extremely difficult.
As for Liu Lan, she had long been driven to the brink by online harassment.
With nowhere else to turn, she could only seek out Xiao An.
