บท 20: Lost
He furrowed his brows as a pair of soft, almost boneless hands clung to him from behind, and a woman's gentle voice sounded, "I told you you were hearing things."
Lou Yuchi closed the door with confusion. But, as soon as he turned around, his eyes fell on the item on top of the shoe cabinet. He brushed away the woman that was clinging to him, opened the box, and saw the 'Blue Eye Brooch' sitting inside. His expression immediately changed.
This brooch was called the 'Blue Eye Brooch'. It was composed of a circle of pearls paired with fine transparent diamonds surrounding a big blue sapphire and the sapphire was sparkly like a mesmerizing eye.
This was a status symbol for the Lou Family's eldest daughter-in-law. Lou Yuchi trembled as he pulled out his phone and called his brother.
Oh no! He had created a huge mess!
When he realized Lou Yucheng's phone was switched off, Lou Yuchi remembered that his brother had gone overseas for something urgent and was on the plane at that moment.
He became so anxious, he was not in the mood to care about anything else. He immediately contacted his brother's best friend to ask him a few questions. Who was this mysterious sister-in-law that his brother mentioned he was planning to introduce to the family soon?
It was best for him to explain things to her in person. But, as it turned out, she was different to the women that Lou Yucheng normally played around with, so none of his friends had ever seen her.
It's not that no one was curious, but every time they told Lou Yucheng to introduce her to them, he would say that she wasn't around. So, his friends were actually curious about the girlfriend that Lou Yucheng had hidden away.
Li Weiyin and Lou Yucheng had been together for half a year, but within 2 months of dating, Lou Yucheng was busy and Li Weiyin had her own things to pursue.
As a result, not a single one of Lou Yucheng's acquaintances had Li Weiyin's contact details. In fact, they didn't even know her name.
Lou Yuchi waited anxiously until early the next morning before he finally got through to Lou Yucheng's phone.
"Speak, what mess did you cause this time? Who do you want me to help you suck up to?" Lou Yucheng asked impatiently.
Lou Yuchi swallowed, "Bro, you need to remain calm. Remember how you said that you were giving your house in Chengjiang to me? I came to check it out today and..."
Lou Yuchi explained the rest in his quietest voice possible, but Lou Yucheng still heard him clearly.
He immediately stood up, hung up his phone, and saw the missed calls from Li Weiyin.
His finger floated above the phone screen for some time, but he did not press it. He brushed the phone aside with annoyance, spread his arms, lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
By returning the Blue Eye Brooch to him, it meant she was agreeing to break up with him. This was the result that he wanted. But, for some reason, his heart broke.
He guessed that she must have misunderstood. He had previously promised that he would not have an unclear relationship with another woman.
When he first met her, he had actually been annoyed by his past. He even blamed God for playing tricks on him. If he knew he would meet a woman that he was crazy about, he would have saved himself for her.
She told him that she wasn't a part of his past so she had no right to complain, but if he dared to cheat on her, she would never forgive him and she would run far away to a place where he would never find her again.
At that moment, she probably thought he lied to her. Had she finally experienced how it felt to be lied to?
She should experience the pain carefully!
Lou Yucheng's heart was filled with vengeance, but he hated himself for not being able to let go. The other party probably didn't even care.
บท 21: Provocation
By not compromising at that moment, Lou Yucheng had no idea what he would end up losing.
Li Weiyin never left loose ends. After she returned to the apartment that she rented in Chengjiang, she huddled up in the corner of the bed and mumbled to herself, "Two hours. You can only be weak for two hours..."
Big drops of tears fell from her eyes. In the dark unlit room, she hugged herself the way she had done during many countless nights. As she bit the quilt and cried helplessly, she used her tears to vent her emotions, and bid farewell to the love she had lost.
She cried until her eyes turned red and swollen, until the quilt was soaked, and until her head felt groggy, but she did not make a sound.
Growing up, she was used to handling everything on her own so people couldn't see her weaknesses.
Roughly 2 hours later, she tore off her quilt, grabbed some clothes to change into, and had a bath. As she sat emotionless at the dressing table, she applied some skincare products and made a phone call to her landlord. She told him she was moving tomorrow and asked him to inspect the house.
She then started packing her things and placed everything related to Lou Yucheng into a box.
After that, she deleted his contact details and photos from her phone.
For her, it was best for ex-lovers to never contact each other again, regardless of their reason for breaking up. As for being friends, that was even more of a no-no.
After dealing with these matters, she finally went to sleep. When she woke up the next morning, she used makeup to cover her eyes and exhaustion, cooked herself some breakfast, and went to do some morning exercise. When she returned, her landlord and his wife had arrived. After she handed over the apartment, she went to cancel her phone number.
Her phone number and Lou Yucheng's phone number only had two numbers that were different; It was a pair of couple numbers that no longer needed to exist.
In the end, she came full circle and returned to Jin City.
As soon as she returned home, she saw Li Weixin. For some reason, there was no one else at home.
Li Weixin stepped down the last few steps of the stairs with a different expression to her usual soft and well-behaved demeanor. Her eyes scanned across Li Weiyin's suitcase and she laughed smugly.
"What? Didn't you go look for your boyfriend?"
Li Weiyin ignored her as she pulled her suitcase and walked past. But, Li Weixin insisted on blocking her way.
When outsiders weren't around, Li Weixin had always been like this. She always provoked her to say words she wanted when she predicted her family was about to return home.
As soon as they walked through the door, she would trigger her anger and make it appear like she was bullying her.
From a young age, this was an effective trick that she had used multiple times and she never got sick of it.
As she said so herself, a trick was not rotten as long as it worked.
"Li Weixin, I'm in a bad mood. Watch what you're saying or you'll regret it," Li Weiyin warned with an emotionless expression.
But, Li Weixin did not take this to heart, "I've never regretted anything. It's a fact that you've been dumped, why can't I talk about it?"
Li Weiyin's hand tightened around the handle of her suitcase.
"Look at yourself. You look like a stray dog. Did your owner get sick of you and kick you out...?"
Before Li Weixin finished speaking, Li Weiyin threw a kick towards her and Li Weixin immediately dodged like she had predicted it.
The Li Family only had two daughters, so from a young age, Li Jinzong specifically hired a martial arts master to teach the sisters in case they were ever taken advantage of.
Li Weixin immediately stood firm and her gaze turned sharp, "Li Weiyin, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
As soon as she spoke, Li Weixin aimed her fist at Li Weiyin and rushed towards her like the wind.
