Chapter 260: The Substitute Lover is on Strike (45)
Chapter 260: The Substitute Lover is on Strike (45)
Xiao Shuyuan drove for half an hour, but didn't see Cheng Fanli.
After he returned to the car, he started calling Cheng Fanli again.
Three consecutive calls were temporarily unreachable, and Xiao Shuyuan's face became increasingly ugly.
As expected, Cheng Fanli blocked him.
Cheng Fanli really didn't understand why Xiao Shuyuan said those words so naturally, why he was so condescending and asked her to move back in such an imperative and confident tone, saying that he did not agree to separate.
He didn't even offer a word of explanation.
If the two of them switched positions, Xiao Shuyuan would definitely have a different attitude.
Anyway, the person who bowed his head couldn't be him.
The call from Xiao Shuyuan made Cheng Fanli lose all mood to talk to him. Knowing that he would call again, she simply blocked him.
She was originally waiting for Xiao Shuyuan to call her.
Although the content of the phone call was completely different from what she had imagined, it was also a complete farewell to the past.
As for what Xiao Shuyuan thought, Cheng Fanli didn't care that much.
After Xiao Shuyuan realized that he had been blocked, he began to send messages to Cheng Fanli.
"Where are you? Send me the address."
As soon as the message is sent, there is a red exclamation mark.
[Cheng Fanli has turned on friend verification, and you are not his (her) friend yet. Please send a friend verification request first. You can chat only after the other party passes the verification. Send friend verification. ]
Xiao Shuyuan's eyes widened slightly, as if he couldn't believe it.
Although he was still doubting just now, he was now 100% sure that Cheng Fanli not only deleted his WeChat, but also blocked his phone number.
Cheng Fanli deleted WeChat after moving out, and kept the phone number in anticipation of Xiao Shuyuan's call.
Xiao Shuyuan maintained the same posture, motionless. The whistling sound of the wind outside the car brought him back to his senses.
He then called someone to check on Cheng Fanli's situation during this period, who he met, what he said, and where he lived.
After the call, Xiao Shuyuan sat in the driver's seat, his eyes dark, like a bottomless pool of water, making it difficult to fathom the emotions within. It was a complex mixture of anger, shock, and confusion.
His chest kept rising and falling, as if the waves in his heart were raging and could not be calmed. Finally, he exhaled deeply and tried to calm himself.
The car was completely silent, with only Xiao Shuyuan's heavy breathing echoing in the air.
Just as he was about to drive away, his friend stopped him and invited him with concern: "Let's go have a meal together!"
The friend looked at him, frowned and said, "Look at you. You were fine the last time we met, but you've lost weight this time and your face doesn't look good. You must not have slept well." The friend continued to ask, "Didn't you say you didn't have a fight? What happened?"
Xiao Shuyuan just shook his head silently. He knew that his friends liked gossip, but he had no intention of exposing his private life and feelings to others.
At this moment, the sky is gloomy, as if a rain is brewing, but also as if it is about to clear up, making it hard to predict.
The car started up quickly and drove away. At this moment, the phone rang suddenly. Xiao Shuyuan glanced at the screen and saw that the caller ID was Yan Wenting. He was silent for a moment, then hung up the phone without hesitation and threw the phone aside.
Xiao Shuyuan thought about it carefully. Even if Cheng Fanli saw the trending search at that time, she would not have blocked him, deleted him as a friend, and moved out like this.
Did something else happen in between?
And he clarified the scandal the same night he left.
Didn’t Cheng Fanli see it?
He returned to the bedroom. He hadn't taken a good look since he came back in the early hours of the morning, and now he noticed that there had been quite a big change.
All of Cheng Fanli's things were gone.
The decorations and furnishings are the same, but Xiao Shuyuan feels that they are very different.
Xiao Shuyuan's eyes became more and more complicated, and a bitter pain spread in his heart.
Lying on the bed and smelling the familiar fragrance, Xiao Shuyuan's restless mood calmed down.
On the other side, Chang Mo was sitting in Cheng Fanli's car.
His car happened to have a minor problem and couldn't be driven.
This is what he said to Cheng Fanli, and asked her if it would be convenient for her to give him a ride.
After Chang Mo said this, Cheng Fanli naturally would not refuse to send him off.
Because it's on the way.
On the way, Chang Mo still asked the doubts in his heart.
"Fanli, did you have a fight with your boyfriend?"
Just now in the private room, Cheng Fanli made a phone call and he had been paying attention silently, and then he was almost certain about it.
Coupled with Cheng Fanli's move, an idea came to mind.
Maybe it's more than just a fight.
Although I thought so, I didn't ask directly.
Cheng Fanli was looking straight ahead, and was stunned for a moment when he heard Chang Mo's words.
Boy friend.
The hand holding the steering wheel moved slightly, he hesitated for a moment, and smiled, "It's not a quarrel."
"It's considered a breakup."
Hearing the accurate reply, a smile appeared on Chang Mo's face.
It soon disappeared again.
It's like an illusion.
After he knew that Cheng Fanli had a boyfriend, he had originally planned to just be friends with her.
I didn't expect that they would break up suddenly.
Chang Mo did not continue talking about this matter. Instead, he naturally changed the subject and talked about other things.
Xiao Shuyuan didn't eat much at noon and drove back quickly.
He remembered something and looked around.
He once gave Cheng Fanli a bracelet, and Cheng Fanli liked it very much. It was the first gift he gave her.
It is not expensive and is inconspicuous compared to other expensive gifts, but it is indeed Cheng Fanli's favorite.
She usually wears it.
On the contrary, she is rarely seen wearing other jewelry.
Xiao Shuyuan looked for it but didn't find it.
He thought that if Cheng Fanli moved away and took the bracelet with her, she would definitely move back in a few days.
She liked that bracelet the most, and she liked him the most too.
How could I bear to leave?
Xiao Shuyuan casually opened the drawer, and opened the bottom compartment. The first thing he saw was a photo in the drawer. The usual indifference on his face disappeared in an instant, and he was even a little stunned.
This photo is placed at the very top, and it is obvious that it was dug out by someone.
The person in the photo looks somewhat similar to Cheng Fanli after putting on makeup, especially the eyes.
No wonder I said that today——
[Are my eyes pretty? ]
[Do I look like her? ]
He couldn't remember when the photo was taken or when it was found by Cheng Fanli.
It seemed as if I suddenly understood what Cheng Fanli was worried about.
He was also a little annoyed with Cheng Fanli. She was bothered by the photo but never asked him about it.
At the beginning, when the two were together, he did keep Cheng Fanli by his side because of her face, but later on, that was no longer the case.
He knew deeply that Cheng Fanli was just Cheng Fanli, not anyone's shadow.
Yan Wenting doesn't like to laugh that much, and she doesn't apologize all the time.
Apart from their similar appearance, they are completely different in other aspects.
The attitude towards him is also completely different.
Cheng Fanli obeyed him in everything and knew all his preferences. At the beginning, Xiao Shuyuan thought that Cheng Fanli was trying to please him in order to get something from him.
But he didn't expect that what Cheng Fanli wanted was not material things, but him as a person.
When he found out, Xiao Shuyuan felt that Cheng Fanli was very brave, braver than those women who wanted to get into his bed.
He should have broken off the relationship, but in the end he kept Cheng Fanli.
This stay lasted for five years.
From the age of 20 to 25, from campus to entering society, Xiao Shuyuan watched Cheng Fanli change and grow along the way.
Watching Cheng Fanli grow into an independent adult, instead of the little girl who could only hide in the corner and cry quietly.
Her first job was secretly arranged by Xiao Shuyuan, in his friend's company.
He told Cheng Fanli more than once that she didn't need to work, but Cheng Fanli was unwilling. He also asked her to go to the company under his name, but Cheng Fanli still refused. He saw that Cheng Fanli's resume included a friend's company, so he talked to his friend about it, and then Cheng Fanli successfully joined his friend's company.
Xiao Shuyuan himself didn't know when he started to get used to Cheng Fanli's presence, no matter whether it was the first figure he saw when he woke up in the morning, or the meals she cooked, or the various messages he received every day, from good morning and good night to interesting things in life. The last time they went to the supermarket, Xiao Shuyuan didn't feel bored or annoyed at all, and even thought they could go together next time when they had time.
He even decided to marry Cheng Fanli.
His original plan was to take a break after finishing filming this movie, marry Cheng Fanli at the beginning of next year, and then take her out to play.
She said she wanted to see the snow and the sea.
Xiao Shuyuan had clearly thought it all out.
He wanted to give her a surprise.
As a result, Cheng Fanli gave him a big surprise first.
For Xiao Shuyuan, it was more shocking than joyful.
......
I don’t know how long it took, but Xiao Shuyuan received a call and message.
It's about Cheng Fanli.
Not knowing what he saw, Xiao Shuyuan frowned and quickly took the key and went out.
Cheng Fanli received a call from a stranger half an hour ago, asking her to meet.
The person on the other end of the phone said she was Yan Wenting.
Cheng Fanli didn't know her, but she was familiar with the name.
She agreed to meet.
Yan Wenting made an appointment at a coffee shop.
When Cheng Fanli arrived, Yan Wenting was already sitting by the window waiting for her.
When she saw Cheng Fanli, Yan Wenting's smile did not diminish, but instead widened by two points.
People who don’t know would think that the two are good friends, but it turns out that it was the first time they met.
Cheng Fanli sat down in the seat opposite, and then saw a hand stretched out in front of her. She looked into Yan Wenting's eyes.
"Hello, I'm Yan Wenting, you should know me."
It was the first time that Cheng Fanli saw the woman in the photo in real life.
She doesn't look like the photo now, she is more mature
She was more outspoken and bright, and the curve of the smile on her face seemed to have been measured. Cheng Fanli's appearance was softer, and she had no expression at this moment.
To anyone, the two people look alike even when standing together.
Cheng Fanli looked into her eyes.
It was nice looking, she thought, but not that similar.
She stretched out her hand and gently grasped the fingertips, then quickly released them. Cheng Fanli then said, "I am Cheng Fanli, you should know me too."
Yan Wenting raised her eyebrows slightly, "I heard Shuyuan talk about you. You are a very well-behaved and lovely girl."
"is it?"
Did Xiao Shuyuan describe her as well-behaved and cute in front of others?
Cheng Fanli doesn't like the word "well-behaved".
Even some rejection.
Growing up in a family environment and education that clearly favors boys over girls, Cheng Fanli heard the most common thing she heard was to be obedient and sensible. If she did anything that made her parents unhappy or if she talked back, they would blame and scold her, and sometimes even hit her.
And Xiao Shuyuan also said something similar.
So at this moment, Cheng Fanli did not doubt whether Xiao Shuyuan had said this to her.
Yan Wenting did not answer Cheng Fanli's question and continued, "When you were in the hospital before, I heard that you went to look for Shuyuan on purpose, but you flew back without even seeing him. Ultimately, this is also my fault. I apologize to you. We will treat you to a meal next time."
There was an apologetic smile on his face, and he looked very sincere.
we.
Cheng Fanli could easily hear from her words the intimacy between her and Xiao Shuyuan, and she even deliberately emphasized the word "we", making it impossible for Cheng Fanli to ignore it.
As for the dinner she mentioned, Cheng Fanli lowered his eyes silently and said lightly, "No need."
Fanli came here to hear what this person had to say, and the result was as expected.
What a white lotus.
She was really impatient and moved her feet a little.
Then 001 said: [Host, this is the last day, you have to hold on.]
【......I know. 】
Then he just sat in his seat and listened to Yan Wenting talking about her past with Xiao Shuyuan.
Of course, it refers to the time when Xiao Shuyuan pursued her in the past.
Cheng Fanli could never have imagined that there would be a day when Xiao Shuyuan would be rejected after confessing his love to her.
After the other party finished speaking, Cheng Fanli asked: "Ms. Yan, did you come here specifically to tell me this?"
Yan Wenting's smile froze for a second, then quickly returned to normal, "Of course not."
"I heard that you and Shuyuan had a conflict because of me. I felt a little guilty, so I wanted to come and explain to you. After all, Shuyuan and I are very good friends."
There was no expression on Cheng Fanli's face. If it were her two years ago, she might have believed it, but not now.
“There was no conflict.”
Hearing this, Yan Wenting widened her eyes slightly.
She really didn't expect that this 25-year-old girl would not react at all after she said these words. She would not be surprised even if she jumped up and down or pointed at her and cursed.
On the contrary, it was this reaction that Yan Wenting was a little confused.
However, she is a few years older than him, and as someone who has been tempered in the complex society, she still has a calm smile on her face.
While drinking coffee, my eyes inadvertently glanced outside.
Then I saw a black Bugatti parked in front of the cafe.
Cheng Fanli's next words also entered my ears: "You don't have to come here to tell me this. He and I have already broken up."
These words almost made Yan Wenting lose control of her facial expression.
What does it mean to be separated?
Xiao Shuyuan never said anything about breaking up.
He didn't even mention his assistant.
It should be said that he didn't tell anyone.
Seeing Cheng Fanli was about to get up and leave, Yan Wenting looked outside. The glass was one-way, and she saw Xiao Shuyuan at a glance.
He was wearing sunglasses and a hat with the brim pulled down low, leaving only half of his face exposed.
Cheng Fanli's reaction was completely different from what she expected, and Xiao Shuyuan's arrival also caught her off guard.
She grabbed Cheng Fanli's wrist tightly, and when Cheng Fanli frowned and looked at her, she suddenly pulled Cheng Fanli's wrist towards her.
In an instant, the coffee in Cheng Fanli's hand splashed out and landed squarely on Yan Wenting's hand.
Just then, Xiao Shuyuan walked in and happened to witness this scene.
