Yang Sitong paused for a moment.
“That girl was Mo Feifei, and lying on the ground beside her was Lu Yanchen that was just rescued from the waters. She told me in a fl.u.s.tered manner that she had already called for an ambulance, but that she had to leave hurriedly because she had something on and requested for me to look after Lu Yanchen while waiting for the ambulance.”
She had seen Lu Yanchen before in the past. Even though they were far apart and it was only a single glance, she had still managed to remember him. Therefore, even if Lu Yanchen was lying there motionlessly with a frighteningly pale face, Yang Sitong could still recognize him.
She could not forget that surprise when she saw that it was Lu Yanchen as she blurted out, “Lu Yanchen!”
Looking at how she had managed to call him by his name and was looking concerned and worried, Mo Feifei thought that they knew one another, and thus left him in her care hurriedly.
“Mo Feifei left right after handing him over to me. A heavy downpour then rained down and Lu Yanchen laid there motionlessly. I truly thought that he was about to die. Thankfully, the ambulance arrived really quickly and I accompanied him to the hospital. Not long later, the Lus arrived at the hospital. Back then, I had not thought about claiming credit for this lifesaving grace. But, because it was raining and I was drenched all over, they automatically a.s.sumed that I was the one who had saved Lu Yanchen from the river.”
It wasn’t just anyone who could gain a debt of grat.i.tude from the Lus. And just like that, her silent admittance to it changed the course of her entire life.
“They said that they could fulfill any terms I were to come up with, even to the extent that Old Master Lu agreed to me saying that I wanted to marry Lu Yanchen. I hated how those wealthy girls looked down on me and I liked Lu Yanchen as well. If I were to marry him, I would be his fiancée, and those people would no longer look down on me. At that thought, my heart wavered. But, you can’t blame me for that either. They were the one that had a.s.sumed me to be his life savior.”
Yang Chifeng’s brows were knitted. “Then, why did you say that Mo Feifei wasn’t the one who had saved Lu Yanchen?”
“That’s because Mo Feifei was dry from head to toe. If she had jumped into the waters to save him, how could she be dry all over? Furthermore, I found out that Mo Feifei did not know how to swim, so she couldn’t have been the one who had saved him. However, she definitely knows who did it.”
“Mum, when did you find out about it?” Yang Chifeng furrowed his brows. “When she admitted to it silently, why did you not stop her? Did you not know the consequences of this being found out?”
Mrs. Yang was not someone that stupid. She knew what her son’s concerns were; however, she had found out about it too late as well.
Yang Sitong started crying. “Don’t blame mummy! She only found out a long time later when she was trying to help me salvage things!”
Yang Chifeng was almost breaking down by now. “And what did you do in between that period of time then? Don’t tell me that the reason why Mo Feifei is a vegetable has something to do with you!”
“But, I had no other choice back then!” Yang Sitong shrieked as she tore at her hair.
“I thought that I would never ever b.u.mp into Mo Feifei for my entire lifetime ever again as well! But, who would have thought that she would end up in the same school as me! I was really afraid back then… Even though I had saved Lu Yanchen, he was still really cold toward me! On the surface, he was polite and nice, but he never took me as his fiancée at all. But no matter, emotions could be built over time. I heard that Old Master Lu had asked him to come visit me at school from time to time to build up our relations.h.i.+p.”
Yang Sitong continued sobbing, “By all circ.u.mstances, I should have been really happy about that! But, when I heard about that, I felt nothing but extreme fear instead! What if Lu Yanchen were to b.u.mp into Mo Feifei when he came to visit me and she were to recognize him! What should I do?”
