Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Anyone who knew Tang Chuan would know that mentioning his third uncle and aunt was a forbidden topic.
Ever since that woman married his third uncle and became his aunt, she moved to another city and they had not seen each other ever since.
It was shocking news that those two would come back to this city and come to Tang Chuan’s birthday party.
“Do you want me to come with you?” Su Yu volunteered as he was worried that Tang Chuan couldn’t keep his composure.
Tang Chuan waved his hand. “It’s okay Yu. I’m fine.”
Tang Chuan stood up and walked over to greet his third aunt and uncle. The twins had finished their performance and were offstage now.
Qin Chu ran over to embrace his daughters. Huo Mian and Qin Chu were both very proud of the twins.
Qin Ning looked at Su Yu curiously and asked, “Is that young-looking woman Tang Chuan’s third aunt? She looks very elegant, just like a model.”
“Yeah, that’s her.” Tang Chuan had told Su Yu about the time he saw Jin Ying when he had dinner with Qin Ning at Chang’an Street so Su Yu was not surprised to see Jin Ying here.
“Did something happen between them?” Qin Ning felt that Tang Chuan was not himself when he saw that woman. He seemed to be even a bit emotionally unstable.
Su Yu gave a long pause then finally decided to tell her the truth.
“Yeah. Tang Chuan used to love her.”
“Huh? So how did she become his third aunt?” Qin Ning was dumbfounded by this development.
Su Yu gave a brief explanation of the story and Qin Ning listened to it in captivation.
“From then on, Tang Chuan changed. He became flirty and acted like a playboy. However, that’s not how he was. He used to be very faithful. It was a tragedy for him to meet that woman…” Su Yu sighed.
Qin Ning sympathized with Tang Chuan’s past. It was the first time she saw in real life a woman that was willing to forgo love for money. The appearance of Jin Ying was pure torture to Tang Chuan.
That woman was so shameless that she would come walking all over his life and act like nothing serious happened.
“He had such a tragic past… It’s no wonder why he always looks so giddy. He’s just trying to hide his pain. Thank you Su Yu, I understand now…” Qin Ning thanked Su Yu sincerely.
“You’re welcome. Tang Chuan isn’t just playing with you, he’s serious about you. Even though it was love at first sight for you, he would never do anything to hurt you. After all, there’s your brother and Huo Mian standing behind you too.”
“I never worried. You guys are the ones that worried too much.”
After finding out about Tang Chuan’s back story, Qin Ning suddenly grew a sense of compa.s.sion for this man who hid his pain behind a smile.
Maybe she was even pitying him… At the end of the day, Tang Chuan’s story was about him loving unconditionally but being betrayed.
The wounds he got from that relations.h.i.+p were unfathomable.
Qin Ning suddenly recalled something she saw on the internet: I will never regret believing in you, even if that means I will be deeply scarred as if a thousand arrows had pierced through my heart. Please remember though, I will never forgive you for the pain you have caused me.
Qin Ning thought that the pain Jin Ying caused Tang Chuan was worse than a thousand arrows piercing through one’s heart.
How many years had he hidden behind that fake smile, pretending to be living a dream-like lavish life? In fact, he was actually a vulnerable and sympathetic man, using money to escape his pain.
Qin Ning realized that there was another person in this world that was more pitiful than her: Tang Chuan.
Tang Chuan’s third uncle, Tang Wenping, and his wife Jin Ying walked over to Tang Chuan while holding hands.
Tang Wenping was wearing a black suit. He had a beer belly and barely any hair was left on his head. He was indeed a middle-aged man that was nowhere attractive.
On the other hand, Jin Ying was around the same age as Tang Chuan; she was not even 30 yet.
