Chapter 1180: Lies!
Chapter 1180: Lies!
Over the years, Lin Jiamu always dreamt, dreamt of that fire disaster, dreamt of loudly calling for Mom, of her breaking down in despair, and even dreamt of her standing by the river in hopeless suicide, and her hatred for him after knowing the truth.Having done something guilty, he was always afraid of being discovered.
Now that she knew everything, he felt relieved instead.
He looked at Mu Yan and said, "It was me who caused you to lose your mom."
With a "slap" sound, the air seemed to quiet down.
Lin Jiamu did not dodge, and took this slap hard.
Mu Yan’s eyes burned with hatred, coldly saying, "I will never forgive you!"
She turned and walked back, saying harsh words, yet tears uncontrollably fell down.
No one knew how happy she was to have a friend like him.
After all, she was sick since childhood, classmates were unwilling to get close to her, and she had been unlucky since young. Yet, to have such a righteous and kind friend seemed like a gift from heaven.
But looking at it now, all of it was fake.
This was exchanged by sacrificing her mom; his feelings for her were not friendship, but guilt. All along, he only wanted to make up for her pain of losing her mom.
But she had only one mom, which no one could replace.
Why did it have to be him, why couldn’t it be someone else?
Lin Jiamu stood in place, not stopping her departure, with tears falling from his eyes.
He regretted deeply, regretted every moment over the years.
Back then he foolishly fell for Tang Miao, knowing Tang Miao liked Brother Long, yet he couldn’t give up.
Tang Miao said if he helped her teach that woman a lesson, she would be with him.
He thought it was as simple as locking someone in a storeroom, who would have thought there would be a fire disaster.
Later he understood, how could Tang Miao’s idea of a lesson be so simple, but it was too late.
For the first time, he felt he was an absolute scoundrel.
Afraid of her getting into trouble, he chose to follow her, knowing she had a younger brother and a group of terrible relatives, afraid she would be bullied, he lived nearby her.
And on the night after her mother’s funeral, she went to the river alone.
He felt fortunate to have followed her, otherwise he would regret it forever.
It was after persuading her not to jump into the river, when she said thank you to him, he felt a strong urge to become a good person, so he started his journey.
He wanted to protect her, give her the best things, let her live like a princess.
But she was stubborn, not liking gifts from others, he could only donate anonymously and then become her friend, staying by her side.
A while ago, Tang Miao threatened him, he had a hunch, but now it feels like liberation.
Mu Yan walked all the way, never stopping her tears.
Beside her, a black Bugatti followed closely, who knows how long it had passed, the car stopped, someone got out, and went forward to block her.
Upon seeing the person, Mu Yan cried even harder.
"Why did you come only now?"
If he had come to pick her up earlier, maybe she wouldn’t have confronted Lin Jiamu, and wouldn’t have known the cruel truth.
Of course, she also knew she was being unreasonable.
Jiang Jingheng followed her words and said, "It’s my fault."
He wiped the tears off her face, his heart wrenching.
Mu Yan sniffed, looking at him, uncertainly asking, "Are you fake too?"
"Hmm?"
Mu Yan pursed her lips, tears welled up again, "Are you treating me well because you did something to betray me?"
"Of course not, I’m good to you because you are the unique treasure in the world." Jiang Jingheng said softly.
Mu Yan looked at him, suddenly hugged him, buried her head in his embrace.
It’s good that it’s true, she couldn’t take any more lies.
Jiang Jingheng kissed her hair lightly, his gaze clear.
He certainly wouldn’t do anything to betray her; he only helped her remove those unnecessary existences.
