Chapter 313 - Useless Trash

Cheng Songyang’s head was covered in sweat. His suit, which had always been meticulous, was drenched in sweat and in a mess, while his glasses were slanted. “Uncle… Auntie…” he panted and held his knees with both hands, unable to speak for a long time.

“Little Cheng, what’s wrong with you?” Madam Bai was stunned and quickly asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

“I. . . I heard that Youyou was about to jump off the roof and the elevator didn’t come down for a long time, so I could only take the stairs…” Cheng Songyang panted hard. He anxiously asked, “Is Youyou okay? What happened? Why did she suddenly want to jump off the building?”

Cheng Songyang’s gaze fell on the dejected Bai Youyou, and a dark light flashed in his eyes. It was really disappointing. It seemed that not only did Bai Youyou not cause any trouble for Ji Yan, but Bai Youyou was still living well in this world. She was really useless trash.

Cheng Songyang’s concern made Madam Bai feel touched. Even Mr. Bai’s eyes flashed with satisfaction. However, while he was satisfied with Cheng Songyang, he couldn’t help but feel a little guilty in his heart. Bai Youyou and Cheng Songyang were engaged. The engagement party had already been held, but now, it had become like this because of Ji Yan. Perhaps, Bai Youyou was the one who had done all these things on the social media platforms. This was a very humiliating thing for Cheng Songyang.

Mr. Bai’s expression was a little ugly. He opened his mouth and said with difficulty after a long while, “Songyang, it’s the Bai family that has let you down.”

“Sir, why say that?” Cheng Songyang’s eyes revealed some surprise. He frowned and said, “Although Youyou and I are only engaged, I’ve always treated you two as my elders. What’s there to be sorry about?”

Hearing Cheng Songyang’s words, Madam Bai couldn’t help but cry again. She raised her hand to hit Bai Youyou, but she couldn’t bear to do so. In the end, she could only pat Bai Youyou’s hand. She covered her mouth and silently shed tears. “Look at you. You have such a good fiancé like Songyang. What are you not satisfied with? What are you trying to do?”

Cheng Songyang had a gentle appearance and was considerate. He could also be considered an outstanding young man. Madam Bai couldn’t figure out what her daughter was dissatisfied with!

Bai Youyou lowered her eyelids and laughed self-deprecatingly. Yes, what was there to be dissatisfied with? But she just couldn’t accept it! She couldn’t accept that her thirteen years of liking and anticipation for Ji Yan had turned into a joke. She also couldn’t accept marrying a man who she had no love for! She really hated it! If she gave up on Ji Yan just like that, what was the point of her thirteen years of persistence?

“Madam Bai, don’t blame Youyou. Actually, I’ve always known that Youyou doesn’t like me…” Cheng Songyang revealed a bitter smile. His face was a little pale, and his voice was still gentle. “Love is something that can’t be controlled. Youyou is very stubborn, but doesn’t this also prove that she is a good girl who values relationships? This isn’t Youyou’s weakness, nor is it her fault. She just fell in love with someone she shouldn’t have fallen in love with.”

Cheng Songyang lowered his eyes. He said softly, “Who hasn’t fallen in love with someone they can’t get in their life? I believe that Youyou will give up on the pursuit of Ji Yan one day, and I also believe that Youyou will see my good side one day…” His refined and handsome face was pale, and his gaze fell on Bai Youyou with deep affection.

......

Madam Bai was a grateful person. When she saw this scene. Her eyes couldn’t help but redden, and her heart ached even more. In the upper-class society, it wasn’t uncommon for two emotionless people to get married for the benefit of the family. Fortunately, Cheng Songyang had feelings for Bai Youyou, but why couldn’t Youyou turn around and look at Cheng Songyang?

Mr. Bai was also somewhat unable to recover. He let out a long sigh and his face was full of dejection. Only Bai Youyou, who was sitting on the ground, remained unmoved and her face was numb. She felt that this world was too ridiculous and too laughable. Cheng Songyang said he loved her? Hahaha, how laughable! Her parents didn’t see Cheng Songyang strangle her by the neck and press her against the wall to mock her. Everything he was doing now was just an act.

However, it had to be said that Cheng Songyang’s acting skills were very good. Bai Youyou’s heart was boiling with anger. She always felt that she had accumulated a lot of things in her heart and needed to vent them out loudly. However. She was too tired, so she could only sit there in a daze. She couldn’t even say a word.

Seeing Bai Youyou’s dejected appearance, a dark look flashed in Cheng Songyang’s eyes. He slowly moved to Bai Youyou’s side and held her shoulder.
