Chapter 117 Withdrawal from the Competition
Chapter 117 Withdrawal from the Competition
I have never been an emotional person, but after I found out I had cancer, whenever I didn't do what Song Yafei wanted, she would force me to do many things against my will, which angered me time and time again.
My refusal caused Song Yafei's outstretched hand to freeze in mid-air, her eyes lowered, and she exuded an air of dejection.
After a long silence, she whispered, "If I told you there were some things I knew nothing about, would you believe me?"
Unaware?
I don't know what she meant by being unaware, but I'm unwilling to believe her anymore.
And is it even meaningful to dwell on the past?
Why insist on staying together when things have come to this point?
I didn't want to answer, but Song Yafei seemed to be waiting for an answer, remaining motionless and quietly watching me.
I sighed helplessly, "You didn't know? Now that you know, will you make Yu Chengliang withdraw from the competition?"
Upon hearing this, Song Yafei's expression turned troubled.
I snorted coldly, knowing that even if she knew, she wouldn't choose me.
I don't know how she can still say she has feelings for me.
What kind of feeling is this?
Is it love that follows ordinary friendship?
How ridiculous!
Seeing that my expression was off, she grabbed my arm.
“Zhang Tian, listen to me. It’s not that I’m unwilling, but Yu Chengliang is seriously ill. This is his last wish, and I can’t help it.”
I'm sick!
What a coincidence!
I have cancer, and he is sick too.
Even though she didn't know my situation, Song Yafei still chose Yu Chengliang once again.
I didn't want to get entangled with her anymore, though I was just saying that to myself.
The headlines about Yu Chengliang's participation have already been published. Whether he withdraws midway or not will not reduce the impact.
"never mind."
Whatever!
But Song Yafei seemed to have misunderstood me; she thought I wasn't going to pursue the matter.
A smile actually appeared on her face, and she even spoke to me with some excitement.
“I knew you were the most forgiving. I can grant you any request this time.”
This time, even a sneer wouldn't be enough to express my disdain.
Does she know what she's doing?
She was thanking me on behalf of another man, and she was happy for him.
This is the person who keeps saying they love me, the person who hopes I won't leave.
Where is her love?
She has shown all her favoritism to Yu Chengliang, so why is she still bothering me?
I quietly stepped back and, before Song Yafei could react, slowly closed the door.
"Then please stop bothering me and never appear in front of me again!"
Then, amidst her stunned and heartbroken gaze, he slammed the door shut. He hadn't expected her to disregard her own safety and reach out to block the door at the last moment.
His hand got stuck, leaving a deep mark on it.
Her skin is very fair, so any marks are very noticeable, and the red marks quickly turn blue.
But I just watched it all, and I didn't feel any pity for it.
It must hurt a lot, right?
Song Yafei, who never showed her emotions, had a beautiful face that was distorted by pain.
But I ignored him, reopened the door, pushed the person, closed the door, and kept them outside.
This time, Song Yafei didn't cause any more trouble, and soon after, the sound of footsteps leaving could be heard at the door.
I ignored it, washed up and rested, as I needed to prepare for tomorrow's match.
A day has already been wasted; there's no time to spare.
The next morning, when I arrived at the competition venue, I saw Song Yafei. She saw me too, but her expression was a little strange.
She glanced at me only once before walking towards a car. The moment the car door opened, I saw her mother and Yu Chengliang.
To my surprise, Yu Chengliang and her mother were talking, and they seemed to know each other very well.
The atmosphere was harmonious, a far cry from the tense atmosphere of the past.
I remember once when her mother asked me to meet her, she showed a disdain for Yu Chengliang, but now that disdain is completely gone.
This is something that has never happened to me before.
Song Yafei's expression was also quite intriguing, but with the competition just around the corner, I didn't pay much attention to it.
Jiang Yixue arrived before me because he had something to do, and he was standing at the door when I arrived.
He saw me, waved at me, and saw what I had seen, so he explained to me.
"Before you arrived, President Song, her mother, and that actress made quite a fool of themselves."
"You don't know, do you? It turns out we really misunderstood President Song this time. It was actually her mother who put Yu Chengliang in the competition."
Song Ma?
This news is truly shocking!
I still remember the look of disgust on her face when she mentioned Yu Chengliang. Why would she do something like that?
According to Jiang Yi, Song Yafei came today to persuade Yu Chengliang to withdraw from the competition, but her mother strongly opposed it and insisted that Yu Chengliang participate.
In the end, it's unclear what Song Yafei said to her mother, but it made her give up on the idea.
Song Ma was never a simple person. In Song Yafei's life, she was always a domineering figure, and she was extremely tyrannical in everything she did.
I knew from my school days that her mother had a very competitive and unyielding personality.
She still has a desire to control her daughter, and even now, she remains the same.
But what was her reason for including Yu Chengliang in the competition group?
What exactly does she want to do?
I was lost in my own thoughts and didn't pay any attention to what Jiang Yi was saying, nor did I reply to him.
He glanced at me, probably thinking he had offended me.
She said somewhat apologetically, "Did I say too much? I was just a little worried about you."
I didn't understand what he meant by that.
Jiang Yixue said sincerely, "After all, President Song is your wife. I shouldn't be watching like a spectator."
I shook my head. "It's nothing, these things have nothing to do with me."
Jiang Yi didn't know what had happened between us, but he could glean some information from these scenes.
Jiang Yi sighed helplessly.
"I wish you really thought that way! Everyone says that there are many troubles in wealthy families. I've only ever seen men messing around outside, but I never thought that these female CEOs would be like that too."
"If you can stay away from them, then stay away, so you don't get dragged into their mess."
I want to too.
But I was already deeply mired in the quagmire, and no matter how hard I struggled, it wasn't so easy to get out.
I am truly happy that Senior Jiang Yi is so considerate of me.
His concerns were genuine, and his interest in watching dramas about wealthy families was also real, but I was still very grateful.
I smiled and nodded at their honesty, rather than their feigned concealment.
"Don't worry, senior. So Yu Chengliang has withdrawn from the competition?"
The senior student nodded, "Things have gotten this bad, how can he face continuing the competition? With him around, the competition's prestige has been reduced."
Then we walked into the competition venue together.
