Chapter 151: She Saw Robben At The Yan’s
Guan Ying brushed away the bangs on her forehead and revealed her clear and round forehead.
No matter how good that pair of eyes was at pretending, at that moment, they couldn’t hide her distress.
Yu Sihe carried on saying, “I couldn’t tell either. Yan Changqing really had it up her sleeve. That day, I was singing fine with Dr. Song and the moment she came, she pretended to be unwell and lay in Dr. Song’s embrace. Dr. Song took her home first. You don’t have to believe me. Go ask your friend and you’ll find out. I have no reason to lie to you. Oh, right, you’d better not wait for Dr. Song. He’s in the Director’s office and I reckon he won’t be back soon.”
She turned around to leave after saying that.
Guan Ying stood motionless for a while before leaving.
Afterwards, when she got into the car, she had totally forgotten how she came down.
She could feel a pulsing pain from her fractured ribs which were healing. It was so painful she had difficulty breathing.
The man she liked had become her good friend’s husband.
Silently.
She suddenly seemed to have realized some things.
For example, Changqing had tried to sound her out on how she felt towards Song Chuyi several times.
For example, Changqing’s complicated gaze when she looked at her sometimes.
It seemed that Changqing had left some clues; it was just that she hadn’t realized it at all.
There were some things Guan Ying really couldn’t understand.
Changqing said several times before that nothing was more important than friendship. Even if she got into a relationship, she would always make her good friends her top priority.
Guan Ying had always believed that.
Was this her top priority now?
Song Chuyi was Guan Ying’s ex-boyfriend.
No matter how desperate Changqing was, she couldn’t be with her good friend’s ex-boyfriend. Did Changqing ever care about how she would feel?
When Guan Ying was with Fu Yu, Fu Yu couldn’t forget Changqing and abandoned her.
She wanted to turn back and be with Song Chuyi but Changqing had snatched him away.
Silently.
She suddenly felt a sense of fear, anger, sorrow and desperation.
However, shortly afterwards, she realized this was just a one-sided story from Yu Sihe. It might’ve been a misunderstanding. Some things would be better if clarified personally.
“Miss Guan, are we going home now?” The chauffeur asked, seeing that she hadn’t spoken for a long time.
She took off her mask, revealing her pale face and was out of it for a while before directing the chauffeur to the Yan family household.
The car arrived at the entrance of the Yan family’s villa. She had been to the Yan’s before several times and the guard recognized her instantly, even saying with a smile, “Miss Guan, you haven’t dropped by in a while.”
“Changqing is at home, right?” Guan Ying asked.
“Yes, yes.” The guard opened the door.
The car went in. Guan Ying opened the car door and had yet to get out when a pearly white labrador ran towards her vigorously. He had a dark blue collar hanging on his neck and he was running extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of her, wagging his tail as he looked at her.
Guan Ying froze.
Although this dog had grown much bigger, its familiar looks allowed her to recognize it straight away. This was the dog that Song Chuyi had been taking care of.
When they went out for walks in the evening while dating, he would often bring this dog out.
She bent down and spit out two syllables with difficulty, addressing the dog. “Robben.”
Robben barked and opened his mouth, hanging his red tongue out as he panted, wagging his tail even harder.
Guan Ying felt her heart turning cold. She lowered her head and caressed its head.
Robben closed his eyes with pleasure.
Upstairs, Changqing heard Auntie Zhang’s call and heard Robben’s barking. Her eyelids twitched ferociously.
“Changqing, Guan Ying is here,” Auntie Zhang said.
“She came in already?” Changqing heard her voice quivering.
“Yeah.”
Changqing hadn’t felt so uneasy in a long time. She was only hoping that Guan Ying hadn’t seen Robben or perhaps, Guan Ying hadn’t seen Robben yet.
She rushed downstairs and ran towards the courtyard. She saw Guan Ying standing in front of her car and Robben sitting by her side, a paw resting in Guan Ying’s palm obediently.
He seemed to have smelled Changqing and Robben quickly pulled his paw out then ran over to Changqing quickly. He barked at her then looked at Guan Ying but the two seemed to have not noticed him, making him a little upset. Am I out of favor already?
Guan Ying looked at Changqing as though she was looking at a stranger.
Changqing was so nervous her mind was blank. She squeezed out a smile and went up. “Xiaoying, why are you here so suddenly? Your injuries...”
“Why is Robben with you?” Guan Ying’s gaze was like a drill, as though it would pierce a hole through her.
Changqing blinked uneasily. Indeed, she knew Robben.
She secretly cursed Song Chuchu, that scumbag. Why did he have to bring Robben around for nothing? Could Robben be his secret weapon for chasing girls?
However, it wasn’t time for her to be unhappy. She knew that if Guan Ying found out about this whole thing, their friendship would be jeopardized. “Because of my sis. She’s quite close to Dr. Song and it happened that Dr. Song has been busy lately and has no time for his dog. Our house has a huge courtyard so he dropped off his dog at our house.”
“Song Chuyi would always take his dog back to the Song Family when he’s busy.” A strong sense of mockery appeared in Guan Ying’s deep pupils suddenly. Inside, it seemed as though something was shattered to pieces. It felt icy-cold and despairing. “Changqing, you’re married to Song Chuyi, right?”
The secret Changqing had always wanted to keep was suddenly exposed without any prior signs and she wasn’t mentally prepared for it. The shock on her face was apparent. “Xiaoying, I...”
“Don’t deny it anymore. His dog is with you. I’ve gone to the hospital and the people at the hospital told me themselves.” A string that was stretched taught suddenly snapped and Guan Ying was unable to contain herself anymore.
Her most important friend treated her like a fool.
“Yan Changqing, I never thought you would be someone like this.” Guan Ying’s large eyes turned red.
Changqing was so flustered she didn’t know what to do. Guan Ying had never looked at her with such a gaze before. She couldn’t accept it. They were best friends. “Xiaoying, it’s not what you think it is. My marriage with Chuyi is a business marriage.”
“Then that means that you don’t like him at all.” Guan Ying took a few steps forward and kept her eyes on Changqing.
Changqing’s ability to lie in front of her good friend was close to zero. The slight shift in her eyes was apparent.
“Have you been to bed with him?” Guan Ying asked straightforwardly.
Changqing’s face was pale, her lips trembling.
A suddenly slap landed on her face hard.
Changqing was dazed from the slap. Her tears started to fall and Robben immediately stood on his hind legs, barking at Guan Ying.
“Don’t cry in front of me. I find you very hypocritical right now.” Guan Ying took a deep breath and wiped away the tears on her face, saying hoarsely, “Changqing, I’ve always treated you as my best friend. From the first time I met you in the dormitory, I’ve felt that you were as clean as a piece of white paper. Your passion towards me gave me warmth. Although the four of us are working towards our individual goals, you guys aren’t just friends in my heart. You guys are more like my family. I was jealous and envious of you but I never thought of doing anything that would let you down, yet this is how you treat me?”
“Xiaoying, I’m sorry.” Changqing covered her face and cried out. “My father’s company ran into some problems and I had no choice but to get married. If I didn’t, my father would have to go to jail but I never thought I would fall for him. Besides, you were already dating Fu Yu then...”
Some things just happened like a running train. It was all too late when you wanted to step on the brakes.
“However, didn’t you tell me many times before that you would never eye your good friend’s boyfriend like in those television dramas and novels? Even if Song Chuyi was my ex-boyfriend, have you ever thought about the fact that I’m your good friend? How would I feel if I were to run into him in the future?” Guan Ying scoffed with disappointment. “You said that friendship is more important than love, but this isn’t what I’m seeing. Yan Changqing, have you never treated me as your real friend at all?”
“No.” Changqing cried as she denied it.
“I will never believe you again.” Guan Ying shook her head. “You had countless opportunities to tell me but you didn’t say anything. Afterwards, when I told you I still liked Song Chuyi, did you find me exceptionally stupid? You snatched away each and every man that I’ve wanted. Changqing, you’re too capable.”
“I didn’t...” Changqing shook her head. She didn’t know how she had become a venomous woman in Guan Ying’s heart.
“You did,” Guan Ying stared at her with hatred. “Before Fu Yu met you, we were fine but ever since he saw you, our relationship only went downhill. He was getting colder and colder towards me every time until I realized that Fu Yu liked you. I also recalled that you said there was someone you always kept in your heart ever since you were young. I thought that person was Fu Yu. You had no idea how jealous I was those few days. I kept trying to suppress myself and on the day of the dinner, I was still standing glamorously beside Fu Yu. In the end, when we started filming, Fu Yu didn’t even look me in the eye properly.
When we shot at the grapevine manor, Chi Yining and He Yongsui would always talk bad about you in front of me when you weren’t around, and I would protect you, causing them to alienate me, bully me and mock me. I was so tired from filming every day and I couldn’t even have a full meal but I never complained to you because I treated you as my good friend. Even if others bullied me, I wouldn’t let that change our friendship. Every time you came back to the production team, I would pretend nothing happened. A rich girl like you would never understand those days of hardship because, on the production team, you always had Fu Yu protecting you.”
Changqing was already sobbing. She had never known these things.
She thought that when she left, even though Guan Ying didn’t have many friends on the production team, it wouldn’t be that difficult to pull through.
Guan Ying sobbed continuously. “In front of Fu Yu, you were cared for meticulously and every time I saw him, I would treat him like he was my ancestor. In reality, I’m worse off than a dog who’s at his beck and call. Changqing, you have no idea how envious I am of you. I don’t know why there’s such a big difference between two people. Could it be just because I was born poor and you were born rich? But even so, that time when you ran into danger, I went up in front of you without thinking. At that time, it was so painful I thought my heart was crushed.”
