Chapter 318: One Must Look Ahead
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
w.a.n.g Man’s boyfriend broke up with her before the new year—he was having his holiday break from school, while she was at home. She endured the pain by herself. She didn’t tell a single person, always keeping her emotions in check.
She initially thought that she will recover from the breakup after the holiday. However, on her way to work, w.a.n.g Man had not expected to b.u.mp into her ex-boyfriend together with the youngest daughter from the Xu family.
She could handle the truth. All of his reasons had just been excuses. The real reason was right before her eyes. He had a change of heart—he fell for a young lady from a rich household.
w.a.n.g Man could no longer hold back. Wiping the tears away, she said, “Elder Sister Yun, you have no idea. When we were together, I did everything. I gave in to all his requests. Everything he said was correct. He said that living overseas was tough, so I scrimped and saved. I sent a portion of my pay back home, and another portion to him. He had constantly been deceiving me. He said that after returning from his overseas studies, he would marry me. I had trusted him blindly all along…”
w.a.n.g Man cried so hard that her eyes turned red. Yun Bixue took out some tissues to wipe her tears. Deep down, her heart ached for her.
w.a.n.g Man was touched. She always thought that Elder Sister Yun was just like a big sister to her. Not only did Yun Bixue take care of her at work, she was even concerned about her life and studies. Sometimes, when Elder Sister Yun was in the office, she would always share her meal with w.a.n.g Man.
Therefore, she felt a sense of trust and grat.i.tude towards Elder Sister Yun. “Elder Sister Yun, I’ve never seen him like that. He fawned over her, and carried her bag for her. He bought things for her using his own credit card. That bag cost more than ten thousand dollars, but he swiped his card without a second thought. Wasn’t he poor? Why did this happen?” w.a.n.g Man couldn’t accept such a fact. She didn’t regret paying for a capable man’s studies, but she did regret that she had actually trusted such a person blindly.
Yun Bixue listened by the side, her heart wavering. Looking at w.a.n.g Man, she was reminded of her past self. She had also foolishly believed in someone back then. She only found out afterwards that everything was not worth it.
“w.a.n.g Man, don’t cry anymore. Cheer up, now you’ve seen his true colors. This way, you wouldn’t be foolishly deceived again. You also wouldn’t need to give in to him again. In this world, you win some, you lose some. You have to look on the bright side. If you look ahead and move forward, you will realize that all these are insignificant when you look back on it.”
w.a.n.g Man used some tissues to wipe her tears away. Sniffing, she asked, “Were you also hurt in the past? I heard that Su Lenghan was just… Just…” She was afraid that Elder Sister Yun would be upset if she continued.
Yun Bixue softly chuckled. “It’s okay. It’s all in the past. Back then, I also foolishly trusted him. I begged him to help with my grandfather’s surgery fees, but he refused. At that point in time, I was desolate. See, didn’t I tide over that period too? That’s why you have to move on. When you’re living a better life than him, you’ll realize that he is insignificant. Also, you’ll feel grateful that you didn’t end up with him. This is because you would have someone better than him—someone who will pamper you, love you, and be by your side.” Recalling Xie Limo’s singing last night, Yun Bixue’s eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with warmth and bliss.
Looking at Yun Bixue’s expression, her heart suddenly felt a glimmer of hope. She had already heard about Elder Sister Yun’s story. Ning An City had a saying: one can offend anybody, except for Miss Yun. This is because she was Young Master Xie’s weak spot. The rude reporter who had not heard this saying was living like a beggar now.
w.a.n.g Man answered with grat.i.tude, “Elder Sister Yun, thank you.” Elder Sister Yun’s words had truly lifted her spirits greatly.
Yun Bixue chuckled gently, and wiped w.a.n.g Man’s tears away. Sometimes, she felt that w.a.n.g Man was just like her younger sister. “You should toughen up. Why didn’t you do anything after seeing that scene?”
