Chapter 1343: Other’s Worry about Personal Gains and Losses / Help You Make Her Happy
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Nothing else could make Chen Mengyan so emotional and unforgettable in this life.
Today, everything that happened on the stage would be an unforgettable scene for her.
When she was playing the piano, her eyes were s.h.i.+ning with tears. She stood up and burst into tears. A woman was so loved by her lover; she was content even if she were dead.
Yang Ming led Chen Mengyan to the center of the stage. She wanted to throw herself into Yang Ming’s arms now. She felt that she wanted to embrace and kiss Yang Ming now, and even go home and make love to him.
“I hope that all lovers in the world could be united in matrimony.” Yang Ming bowed to the audience and gave thanks.
Chen Mengyan quickly imitated Yang Ming to take a bow with him, then stepped down from the stage with him.
Thunderous applause sounded behind the two. This was the most successful performance at the party without a doubt, even more successful than the previous knife-throwing performance!
Many students were not very optimistic about this poetry reading. They thought that there would be nothing great about this performance. It was the kind of performance that served as a stopgap. But now, not only did the students who watched the performance not think that this performance served as a stopgap, they all unanimously felt that this was the most successful performance in the art festival.
At the moment, Lin Zhiyun was also a little envious of Chen Mengyan, but she was happier! Before this, she was worried that Chen Mengyan would be unhappy because she and Yang Ming were on stage together. Everything was good now. Yang Ming publicly confessed his love to Chen Mengyan on stage. She believed that Chen Mengyan would be very happy!
Lin Zhiyun was not a person who liked to calculate gains and losses. When Chen Mengyan was happy, she was also happy.
Zhou Jiajia and Xiao Qing sat together and saw both of Yang Ming’s performances too. There was some faint sadness in her heart, but she did not think too much about it.
The relations.h.i.+p between Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan was unshakable; Lin Zhiyun also got together with Yang Ming earlier. Zhou Jiajia was already satisfied with the life she had now.
Zhou Jiajia also knew that her relations.h.i.+p with Yang Ming could not be publicized. At the very least, it could not be publicized now. She did not want to cause any trouble to Yang Ming, nor did she want to disrupt the family’s harmonious relations.h.i.+p at this stage.
Although Zhou Jiajia also knew that even if she could openly get together with Yang Ming, Yang Ming would not say anything. It was difficult to guarantee that there would not be some gossip. Chen Mengyan was Yang Ming’s genuine girlfriend. If she heard this, her heart would undoubtedly be uncomfortable.
Now Chen Mengyan had made a great sacrifice. Zhou Jiajia thought that she had worked hard enough, so Zhou Jiajia had no intention to cause disputes. She did not want to lose her hard-won love.
“Jiajia, are you uncomfortable in your heart?” Xiao Qing saw Zhou Jiajia not talking and thought that she had some ideas. She wanted to enlighten Zhou Jiajia with her own feelings.
Zhou Jiajia listened to Xiao Qing’s words, and she was slightly shocked. Then, she noticed what Xiao Qing was referring to. She turned her head and smiled at Xiao Qing. “Sister Xiao Qing, why would I feel uncomfortable? I am thrilled to see Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan performing on stage together. Sister Mengyan sacrificed a lot, so now I am glad to see her so happy. If possible, I hope that Yang Ming can compensate her more.”
Xiao Qing was very surprised when she heard Zhou Jiajia’s thoughts. She looked at Zhou Jiajia surprisingly. She didn’t understand how this girl could have such an idea. Are these her real thoughts? If so, it is very rare.
“Jiajia, do you really think so?” Xiao Qing asked somewhat in disbelief.
“Of course.” Zhou Jiajia smiled and said, “Sister Xiao Qing, I am very satisfied with everything that I have now. What else is there to fight for? Compared with the previous unrequited love, it is already not easy.”
“Yeah, cheris.h.i.+ng what you have now is the most important thing.” Xiao Qing nodded in agreement. “People must learn to be satisfied. I am very satisfied now. Although there are some hopes and expectations, I know that there are some things that I can’t force. It is too tiring to live like that. Only when I learn to be satisfied, I can live more comfortably.”
“It seems that we are both the same.” Zhou Jiajia smiled and held Xiao Qing’s hand. Their thoughts were similar, and they shared a common secret. Naturally, they had a little more common topics and ideas together.
w.a.n.g Xiaoyan was indifferent as she watched Chen Mengyan and Yang Ming on the stage. She just didn’t want to fight for anything. If she wanted to fight, she could directly kill Chen Mengyan.
Of course, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan would not do this because Yang Ming would hate her if she did so. This was not the result she wanted. Anyway, Chen Mengyan was not on the same path as her. There would not be too many intersections in the future.
After all, she shared a lot of secrets and topics with Yang Ming. In contrast, Chen Mengyan knew too little, so w.a.n.g Xiaoyan didn’t envy her at all.
The feelings between her and Yang Ming were baptized in blood; it was the love that resulted from battle, so it was not comparable to that of the average person. However, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan was most worried about Zhao Ying.
She sighed and looked at the dazed Zhao Ying, who was next to her. w.a.n.g Xiaoyan really didn’t know what to do. This Zhao Ying was infatuated, but there was always a gap between her and Yang Ming. Although it didn’t seem like anything, Zhao Ying was the kind of person who was hesitant and weak; it was tough to get her to take a step.
The most important thing was that w.a.n.g Xiaoyan had the heart to help her and to create some opportunities for her, but Zhao Ying did not agree to do this. She wanted to fight for it herself, and not to get help from others.
w.a.n.g Xiaoyan really had no way to deal with Zhao Ying’s stubbornness. She could only let Zhao Ying drag it on. Anyway, the women around Yang Ming did not lack her. She was also not worried about the addition of another woman next to Yang Ming.
Anyway, neither of them was worried, so just let them take their time. It would happen sooner or later, so w.a.n.g Xiaoyan could only wait and see.
“Sister Ying, why don’t I call Yang Ming to go out and play together?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan finally couldn’t help but ask.
“Ah?” Zhao Ying was stunned. Although she was thinking about Yang Ming, she was caught in the memories, recalling the years when she was Yang Ming’s teacher, which was magical. Now they had become cla.s.smates. “Better not…”
“Why not?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan seemed to have guessed that Zhao Ying would say this, and she sighed. “Sister Ying, I think there won’t be any results if you dragged on like this!”
“My situation… is somewhat complicated; I can’t make Yang Ming have difficulties, right?” Zhao Ying smiled bitterly and said, “Between Chen Mengyan and me… I’m afraid it is not so easy to pa.s.s.”
Zhao Ying was most worried about this. Chen Mengyan used to be her student. Although she was not one now, and she was also college cla.s.smates with her and Yang Ming, wasn’t there still a past?
Although it was not like the ancient times where Little Dragon Maiden [1] was the master of Yang Guo for the rest of their lives, and he had to be questioned by public opinion, Zhao Ying was afraid that Chen Mengyan could not figure this out. That was why she didn’t dare to take a step further.
w.a.n.g Xiaoyan thought, It really is Chen Mengyan… Ai, if it weren’t because of Yang Ming, I would have already killed this little girl… But, if it weren’t because of Yang Ming, why would I kill Chen Mengyan for no reason? Am I not wasting my time?
w.a.n.g Xiaoyan shook her head for her own contradictions and smiled bitterly. “Ai, I can’t really interfere with this. Why doesn’t Sister Ying become one of Yang Ming’s secret lovers, just like me?”
“I am different from you…” Zhao Ying waved her hand. “Chen Mengyan will be vigilant of me, but she will not be vigilant of you. Forget it. Let’s take it one step at a time. I don’t want to worry about it now.”
w.a.n.g Xiaoyan heard Zhao Ying say this, and she no longer said anything. Perhaps Zhao Ying has her own ideas.
How could Zhao Ying have any ideas? She was now contradictory; Chen Mengyan was just one of the excuses. Although there were such reasons, it was not the most important; the most important thing was the problem of her own mentality.
Why can’t I be like Zhou Jiajia and not care about anything? I have to think about some gains and losses, something that doesn’t matter… Ai, but this is a person’s character. How can I change it just like that?
Zhao Ying thought, If I were as decisive as Zhou Jiajia, I would definitely have accepted Yang Ming on the night he expressed his feelings for me, and then I would go and resign the next day!
But… Zhao Ying hated her own hesitation and her indecisive temper.
Chapter 1341: Help You Make Her Happy
The most heartless one was naturally Jing Xiaolu. She didn’t have a hint of jealousy or envy. She was just delighted by her recent progress with Yang Ming. She dreamed that she would be able to perform on stage with Yang Ming one day. There was no need for it to be like Chen Mengyan; it would be fine if it were like Lin Zhiyun. It would also be fine even if she were just in a supporting role.
At the end of the day, Jing Xiaolu even began to fantasize more heartlessly. She regarded herself as Chen Mengyan, who was holding Yang Ming’s hand, being excited in the audience.
If Yang Ming knew about this, who knew how he would think?
Sun Jie didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the art festival party at all. There were too many things at home. Her father left; Tian Long also left. The burden of the business at home was on her and Sun San. Tian Donghua had not graduated yet, so he could not take over the company’s affairs at once; there had to be a learning process.
Therefore, Sun Jie was very busy all day. Once she knew that Yang Ming had such a large island business in Country X, she didn’t take the Sun Family’s business as seriously anymore. Her perceptions had changed, so she didn’t vie over some small profits anymore. It also saved a lot of effort.
As a subst.i.tute for the campus belle, Jing Xiaolu was naturally asked to perform on stage. However, Jing Xiaolu was originally from the Department of Arts, so performing was naturally very easy.
As for why she was a subst.i.tute for the campus belle, it was a bit funny. Logically, with Jing Xiaolu’s qualifications, never mind entering the top ten of the campus belle list, there was no problem for her to reach the top five.
However, during the campus belle list selection, Jing Xiaolu always dressed like a delinquent girl, and her face was painted with makeup like a ghost. From the college student’s aesthetic point of view, they didn’t like her at all. Therefore, no one paid too much attention to her.
Therefore, during the selection, she was naturally ignored.
After that, Jing Xiaolu listened to Yang Ming’s words, took off her ghost makeup, and began to take the pure girl route. She immediately attracted the eyes of the satyrs on campus.
Everyone was vying to find out where this beauty came from. She was like Sister Lin falling from the sky. They were immediately shocked by her appearance.
After asking around, they found out that it was Jing Xiaolu from the Department of Arts. As for what Jing Xiaolu looked like before, those people didn’t care, as long as she was beautiful now.
However, the top ten of the campus belle list had been finalized, and it wasn’t appropriate to change it again, so Jing Xiaolu became the eleventh place subst.i.tute campus belle. This meant that if someone transferred to another school or graduated, Jing Xiaolu would subst.i.tute her spot.
Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan just returned backstage, and she couldn’t help but hug Yang Ming tightly. Before Yang Ming reacted, her small mouth came and blocked what Yang Ming was going to say.
This was the first time Chen Mengyan had made such a bold move in public. Even Yang Ming felt it was a bit incredible. However, it was apparent that Chen Mengyan was moved to the point where she did not care about anything else.
Yang Ming believed that if he got off the stage any later, Chen Mengyan would directly hug him on the stage!
Since Chen Mengyan was not afraid, Yang Ming was naturally not afraid. Yang Ming was a very egoistic person. He didn’t care what others said, and if anyone backstage would see them. He cooperated with Chen Mengyan and kissed her, even his hands naughtily roamed around Chen Mengyan’s body.
However, Chen Mengyan did not stop him this time and let Yang Ming’s hand misbehave.
“Yang Ming, I want…” Chen Mengyan quickly gasped for breath and whispered in Yang Ming’s ear.
Yang Ming’s heart was moved, but he also knew that it was impossible to do it here backstage. He couldn’t say that he didn’t want to do it. He looked at Chen Mengyan, who was flushed and whispered, “At home tonight.”
“En…” Chen Mengyan cutely nodded, hesitated, and whispered, “I will help you convince Sister Lin to come together…”
Yang Ming was stunned and immediately understood Chen Mengyan’s meaning. Yang Ming looked at Chen Mengyan’s shy look. He really wanted to shout loudly. It seems that this poem recitation is simply too successful!
In the future, I will continue to work harder. The heart of Chen Mengyan, this little girl, is not so difficult to overcome. As long as I’m good to her, she will naturally try to repay me tenfold.
After Chen Mengyan finished this sentence, she felt somewhat embarra.s.sed. This is too shameful! But when she saw Yang Ming’s happy look, she secretly found it funny. This guy! Just now, he solemnly vowed and sang “With You Forever[2]” to me. I think it should be “With You All Forever.”
Xu Qianxing was fine with Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan kissing. His goal was Lin Zhiyun, so he had no opinion even if Yang Ming pushed down Chen Mengyan directly here.
Ning Chen was a little jealous in her heart as she looked at Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan kissing. When can I be with Xu Qianxing? She wanted to ridicule Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan, but remembering that she was Xu Qianxing’s representative, then she dismissed her idea.
“Look at your loving affection. I really admire it.” For Xu Qianxing, Ning Chen spoke against her will. She thought about expressing goodwill to Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan so that they would not go and say bad things about Xu Qianxing.
Looking at how Ning Chen’s att.i.tude had a 180-degree turn, Yang Ming secretly sneered. This Xu Qianxing is really a talent. It is impressive that he can let a girl go to this point.
Knowing that Ning Chen was definitely pretending, Xu Qianxing most probably figured that Yang Ming could guess that Ning Chen was pretending, but so what? Xu Qianxing wanted Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan to know that he was expressing goodwill to them.
It was a pity that Yang Ming knew that Xu Qianxing wanted to pursue Lin Zhiyun. Even if he dug out his heart, Yang Ming would not have any good feelings for him. Instead, he would go and step on it to vent his anger.
Chen Mengyan, seeing the difference between Ning Chen from before and after, naturally understood that it was for Xu Qianxing’s sake. However, she was still very contemptuous; there was a sharp contrast with the att.i.tude that Yang Ming treated her, so her impression of Xu Qianxing took a dive; Chen Mengyan felt that this person was a vile character.
However, on the surface, Chen Mengyan still smiled. ” Hehe , isn’t your and your Brother Qianxing’s relations.h.i.+p also good?”
Chen Mengyan words could be interpreted positively or negatively. It was Ning Chen’s business on whether she was willing to listen, but it didn’t matter. However, Ning Chen apparently heard it as a positive one, so she smiled slightly. “Hehe, however, Brother Qianxing is very fierce with me, but I also know that he is looking after me.”
Yang Ming wanted to kick this silly woman to death. Her brain is seriously punctured. It’s already like this, and yet she still speaks on behalf of Xu Qianxing. I’m really speechless. But she is willing to do this, and no one can manage it.
Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan exited from backstage together and quickly walked from the emergency exit to the auditorium.
“Ning Chen is very pitiful.” Chen Mengyan felt a little bit sympathetic. She was also a woman, and she was a beautiful woman too. Chen Mengyan felt pity for this Ning Chen.
“We walk our own path.” Yang Ming faintly said without a care, “If she is willing to do this, we can’t do anything about it. But you should be careful about Xu Qianxing in the future. Don’t have any contact with him.”
“Do not worry. I’m too lazy to care about him if this kind of person asks me out.” Chen Mengyan thought that Yang Ming was afraid that Xu Qianxing would pursue her.
“No, I mean, he is pursuing Zhiyun. He just wanted to please us to have a good relations.h.i.+p with us. He wants to use us as a bridge to befriend Lin Zhiyun.” Yang Ming explained, “Previously, he was also hostile towards me, but after listening to you say that Zhiyun is your good friend, he changed his att.i.tude. He is certain that Zhiyun and I certainly have no relations.h.i.+p because you and Zhiyun are good friends, so it is impossible between Zhiyun and me. Therefore, his att.i.tude changed.”
“It turns out to be like this!” Chen Mengyan also felt that Xu Qianxing’s att.i.tude was somewhat unusual today. After listening to Yang Ming’s explanation, she understood the reason.
